Judge Ailshie is one Of the big men
of Idaho, one for whom the Leader
Herald has always had great respect,
but in the judgment of many of his
friends he has made serious blunder
in an interview he recently gave the
Boise Statesman. He makes a sweeping
charge that there are individuals or
companies planning to control the next
legislature. and the next governor in
order that they may loot the state.
When man of Judge Ailshie's stand
ing makes so serious a charge as that,
the reasonable presumption is that he
has the facts to back it up. That be-
ing true the question arises why did he
not give thems The charging Of grave
crimes in such general way puts every
body under suspicion. This is wholly
unfair to men in public life who are
honest and patriotic.
Having gone so far it is the duty of
Judge Ailshie to go further and tell ex-
actly what they are planning to do.
That is the just thing and the only thing
he can do that will not reflect upon
himself. In the absence Of such state
ment the people will believe that he has
no evidence of the things alleged.

No doubt the direct primary is some
what disagreeable to candidates, pro-
fessional politicians and political bos-
SEES. But that was its intent. Instead
of being given the nomination on
silver platter by a convention control
led by handful of vote manipulatOrs
in their own private interest, the conf
date must get this nomination from his
constituents directly.
The old convention method would be
alright if it was not for the corrupt
and demoralizing bossisms that have
made them a menace to the country.
That the direct primary has not been
successful in eliminating corrupt bos-
sism from politics is not the fault of
the direct primary law, but in
every community the same professional
offiee-seekers and self-constituted bOs
ses are degrading the primary election
as they have the convention method.
And the people will continue to pay
the expense of the primary as they did
the conventions long as they continue
to permit the primary as they did con
ventions to be manipulated by horde
of Republican and Democratic ward
heelers and Office seekers who are abso-
lutely INSCRIPTIONS in their methods
of deceiving the voters and subsisting
in idieness at their expense. The direct
primary would end bossism if the tax
PAYERS and other reputable citizens
would take hold of the primary and
not allow it to be manipulated for one
benefit of the chronic Office seeker and
political boss who cannot be blamed fol-
welding the ballot to suit himself when
he is given the opportunity of doing so
If the taxpayers and citizens woule
call mass meeting and themselves Sc
lect the man to run their government
the political boss would soon disappear
aud with him the great burden Of tax
alton that is detriment to the STATE
and curse to its TAXPAYERS.

JUDGE AILSHIE WARNS
PEOPLE OF IDAHO

James F. Ailshie, former justice of
the state Supreme Court, has warned the
people of Idaho that certain predatory
interests are trying to get control of
the state government. The inference is
that these interests wish to loot the
state, and it behooves the people of
Idaho to be on their guard. The place
to thwart the designs of these birds
of prey is at the primary election, and
that failing ut the general election.
The warning would be more useful if
it were little more definate. There is
no great advantage in knowing that
enemies of society are abroad unless you
know who those enemies are. Judge
Ailshie has preferred to point out the
enemies and the general public is left
to suspect every candidate for office.
This works an injustice upon every
one who is not in the employ of the
potential hooters.
When a man of Judge Ailshie 8 stand
ing in the state undertakes to warn
the people he should warn them in such
way that innocent men will not be
suspected. If Judge Ailshie has any
definite information of the proposed
raid on the state he should give it to
the public. If he has none he might as
well keep his suspicious to himself.

SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION
English, American and German
Three Great Representa-
tive Types.
BRITISH THE MORE COMPLEX

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 1.-The
merits and defects OF the English sys-
tenn of education formed the subject OF
q recent lecture here by Vice Chancellor
NJ. E. Sadler of Leeds university, who
spoke OF the English, the American and
the German as the three great repre-
sentative types, each typical OF a differ
ent point of view.
Germany stands for unity based on the
state, the United States for variety based
on the individual and the British empire
for an attempt at moral unity based
partly on individual experience, partly on
inherited tradition and partly on admins
trative organization, said Prof. Sadler.
All three face the Same human problem.
and each has learned from the other
two. But Germany and the United states
work on simpler theories and have the
advantage of a simpler aim. The British
view is the more complex, and British
education when Il falls below its best lie
less effective in accomplishing its aim
than the others
British education. especially the En-
glish at its best, is stronger than its
rivals in the development OF personal
character. The care that the Germans
have lavished In intellectual attainments
and the Americans have spent in fusing
together the diverse elements of their
population has been given in England to
questions of personal conduct and char
acter. British schools have been at least
as successful as the others in fostering
the will TO sacrifice life and limb In
times OF national peril. But they have
not been as successful as the German in
producing the conviction that daily sacri-
flee must be made by the individual for
the welfare of the community. On the
intellectual side, Prof Sadler found that
with certain brilliant exceptions. British
education is feeble as compared with the
German. but not as with the American.
The gravest defect in British education.
according TO the lecturer, Is the absence
of an exacting standard in the training
Of the mind as contrasted with the train
ing of conduct. AS the result. the i'm
portance of general knowledge and the
value OF pure science as applied TO the
needs OF life and industry is not appre-
ciated The caprtcious and casual way
in which parents select schools. without
understanding the needs OF their chill
dren; the failure OF the schools to stimu-
late the intellectual interests OF boys and
girls of average capacity. which results
in a wastage OF the mental powers of the
nation and indifference toward science
alike in industry, public administration
and domestic management.
