THE HEROIC INSTINCT

A Jersey City jury recently gave
$4,000 to the widow of julius Peter
silge, an electrical engineer who sac
rifced his own life when he saved
Mrs. Bernice Bourne from being run
down by a train on the New York,
Susquehanna & Western railroad.
The verdict was founded on the
principle that the saving of human
life is in the furtherance of public
policy
A discussion of this kind always
rouses discussion as to what hero
ism is.
In this case the railroad contend
ed that Petersilge WILLFULLY
saved the woman's life. But the
probability is that acts of heroism
are often not so much willful as in
stinctive.
To save woman or child from
danger is part of white mans code
Of honor. He acts that way without
thinking.
He never stops to consider what is

It appears impossible to Mr.. Dav-
export that rigidly binding prefer
ence as to candidates upon delegates
can succeed. There must be degree
of freedom. A chaos of cross-pur-
pose causes many Americans this
year to consider what is transpiring
behind the presidential primary in
many states. There exists far less
of understanding or Of interest in it
than in 1912. " Except when the is
sue and the candidates fill the popular
mind without reference to local quar-
rels the primary seems likely to be
of no use so far as direct choice for
the, presidency is concerned. For the
most part the politicians are employ
ing an uninterested and unappreciated
primary for their own purposes"
The presidential primary, the pro-
fessor thinks, has fallen into a
slough of despond SO far as the peo-
pie are concerned. 1t itself seems
to need saving. The question wheth-
er the change from conventions has
been worth while is before the coun.
try. "The need of a genuinely re.
preventative national convention te
debate and sift policies and nominee:
becomes more certain. We ough

WORKINGS OF THE PRES1DEN.
TIAL PRIMARY IN 1916.

"The failure of the presidential pri-
mary" forms the theme of Frederic
Davenport in the New York Outlook.
Professor Davenport holds the chair
of political science at Hamilton and
was the progressive nominee for the
governorship of New York in 1912.
He believes in the primary. His
theoretical and practical qualifications
for discussing the subject should give
weight to his views with the prim-
ary's friends, says the Spokesman
Review. .. -,
The primary as an effective method
of selecting delegates to choose the
presidential nominee has, in Mr.. Dav.
enport's Judgment, collapsed utter

lack uniformity and lead to evils ane

With the primary election less
than two weeks off, very little poll
tical activity is evident in this Sec
ton. The average voter is not ac-
quainted with the candidates for
state and district offices and in
making his choice is largely guided
by what he reads and hears. On
the other hand most of the voters
personally know the candidates for
county office, or can secure accur-
ate information regarding their
past record and qualifications. In
this issue the Pioneer publishes the
names of all the candidates to be
voted on June 2Sth, and it should
not be a hard matter to determine
who the best qualified men for
the most important offices such as
auditor and county commissioners
are. The other county positions out
side of sheriff, are Of minor impor-
lance, the work being purely cleri-
cal and can be handled by any COM
petent office man.
