THE PRIMARY SYSTEM.

IN OUBTLESS the gentlemen in the legislature
w. who are anxious to take advantage of the
IS present situation to so amend the primary
Election law as to bring about modified conven-
lion" system are actuated by the sncerest of mo-
lives, but they only paving the way for lot
more trouble in the politics of West Virginia.
9 There is no such thing as modified conven-
ton system. Either the voters name the tickets
Through direct state wide primary party bosses
name them. And the voters have arrived at that
tsge Of their training in applied politics that they
do not feel the slightest obligation to support
tickets named by the bosses simply because they
happen to be labeled Democratic or Republican or
Tome other party name.
After all political parties are maintained for the
pouvenience of the voters 1t is extremely difficult
h make some politicians understand that For that
reason in practically every state after the direct
primary system of making nominations was adopt

Of trouble, trying to get back to the good old
way Of fixing up the nominations in some back
room after a lot of log rolling, in which at times
here is bipartisan favor but in the end the peo-
pie have had their way.
History will repeat itself in West Virginia The
primary law may be mutated more than once so
That its best friends will find it impossible to recog-
aize- it, but eventually it will back to stay.

AMERICAN DYES.

7 F. STONE, President Of the National Aniline
i. and Chemical company, yesterday told the Ma.
tlona Silk association, which is holding con.
venion at Patterson, \. j., that practically all the
color effects that were known before the war upset
the dye industry are now produced in the United
States. He also said that at the present time the
production of American factories will be enough to
take care of the whole consumption Of staple ami
line coors in this country in the future, while be-
fore another year has passed every color which is
IN this country
Apparently American chemists have done their
part 1t remains now to be seen whether American
business men who are interested in the dye industry
can hold their own in the crisis which will confront
the industry when the war ends and the Germans,
who for years held what amounted to monopoly,
make an effort to recover their market. 1t will be
severe test, but if the American consumers of dye
are as patriotic as they ought to be the situation
will be saved.
