THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

Ii the primary election law Cor the general
election law, either, for that matter) is to be
benefit to the people of the state, they must
make more use of it than they did in the cleo
ton last week This primary election costs The
people thousands of dollars and yet less than
one-third of the people Of the state used the
privilege of naming their own officers. 1t is just
such a neglect of the opportunity to conduct
ones own government that causes a drift to a
monarchy. Think how many people of Europe
or Asia would jump at the opportunity that we
have to name their own officials-yet two
thirds of the people of West Virginia last week
absolutely threw away the privilege extended
to them to do this very thing. A man who will
neglect this privilege is not as good citizen
as the man who takes advantage of it. Think
Of the inconvenience a man will go to attend
a meeting of the stockholders of a corporation
in which he is interested, yet here is corpora
ton in which he is infinitely more interested
than any other, and it is neglected. 1t should
not be necessary to ever have to ask any man
to vote-it should be so that it would be diff
cult to keep him away from the polls. Until
this condition obtains our government will not
be what its founders intended it to be-Athe out
spoken voice of free people.
In Tuesday, primary the new counting boards
did not facilitate the spreading of the results
of the election as they should have. Many COM
missioners, through carelessness or ignorance,
sealed all the papers up, so that the results could
not be accurately known until the county court
met Friday to canvass the returns. This is all
wrong, and is calculated to bring the addition
of the counting boards into disrepute with the
people. Election commissioners should always
that election returns are matter OF
vital interest to the people of the state, and
should Immediately after the count is complet-
cd phone the result of their precincts to the
county seat so that accurate returns can be
tabulated quickly and sent broadcast over the
state.
IF election commissioners will remember this
in the future it will be doing the people of the
state a great favor as well as avoid consider
able nvenience.-Romney Review

A FOOD ADMINISTRATION CAFETERIA.

The following is an interesting account of al
war economy cafeteria, interesting primarily
because it demonstrates what CAN be DONE
Six thousand meals, using only so pounds of
sugar for all purposes, is the record established
by the cafeteria in the Food Administration
Building in Washington. This is at the rate of
pound to 120 meals, and is in glowing contrast
with what the Food Administration is asking
the American housewife to do to save sugar
to use 2 pounds per person or l pound for As
meals.
The Food Administrations cafeteria feeds an
average of 600 persons per day for the noon
meal, and the amount mentioned covers the use
OF sugar for all purposes, including tea, coffee,
deserts, and in cooking. Most of the desserts
contain such substitutes as honey, maple or
other sirups, and the use of sugar is confined
almost exclusively to tea and coffee for those
who request it.
The cafeteria management was convinced
that it could make a record on sugar saving
from the fact that it was so successful in
wheat saving No wheat in any form is serv-
ed not even in cooking. Bread is made of
cornmeal, potato, rice, barley, and corn fiours.
This has been found to work exceptionally well
from the standpoint Of palatability well as
Of nutrition.
Beef is served only once a week, and then in
some form which presents the opportunity of
stretching the quantity-stews, croquettes, cas-
seroles, and soufles. Fish is served twice a
week as main DISH but is frequently used in
salads.
The table and kitchen refuse amounts to only
about ounces per person per day, including
fruit and vegetable Feelings, plate scrapings
etc. Even this is not wasted. The peelings
from potatoes "a barrel Of potatoes are used

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-News of the torpedoing of the British liner Persic, with 2,S00 American troops on board in the war zone Sept. 6. was given to the American people today, first through the British admiralty and then later through the navy de partment. All the soldiers were res cued by accompanying destroyers, the steamer itself being beached. and the enemy submarine is believed to have been accounted for.
 Officials here viewed the result as an allied success more than a disas- ter. The fact. that the steamer was torpedoed when endeavOring to over take the conveyed fleet of transports after overcoming engine trouble, indi- cated that submarine commanders still are fearful of attack on troop ships in convoy. The immediate and com pletelv successful assistance rendered by the destroyers was taken as addi- toinal evidence that the conveying sys- tenn is practically perfect.
 First word of the attack on the Persic. it was learned officially, reach ed the navy department on the night of Sept. in a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims. although navy of ficials had emphatically denied in the interim that any important news of submarine activities were being with held. It was understood that the Brit ish admiralty expressed the request that they be permitted to announce the news of the attack.
 Rumors that a troop shin had been sunk probably with heavy loss of life. have been current in Washington since the publication of what evidently was an insnired London dispatch. stating that allied naval circles had reason to believe that German submarines soon would concentrate their efforts iu an attempt to imnede the steady flow of Amercian soldiers overseas. No explanation of the Durnose of this article could be obtained, however, from naval officials here.
 Attacks on troop ships bv subma- rines constantly are expected by offi- cials and it may be that a new and more determined camuaign has been determined upon bv the Germans be- cause of the reverses suffered h- their armies. The greatest possible nroteetiOn is afforded trooD ships. and this increases as the American naval forces in the war zone are added to by new construction in American wards.
 The record achieved hy the Ameri- can and allied navies Of transporting more than 1sOO OO0 American soldiers overseas with the loss oe only 2e1 of them still is considered miraculous. and it is accented by naval officers as testifyinp to the success of the con voy system.
