Calls Direct Primary a Failure.

One of the things the legislature should
do during the present session is repea
the direct primary law so that such al
unfortunate piece of legislation will not
longer clutter up the statutes books OF
the state We can scarcely credit the re-
ports coming from the state capital that
should the legislature repeal the measure
Governor Whitman will veto the action
| The direct method of nominations--by
! the people~was beautiful in theory and
was designed by men honestly concerned
! in cleaner politics. The only trouble was
it did not work. Instead of accomplish
ing what was expected of it, it proved
only another field for manipulation by
the political bosses. 1t made it possible,
as was demonstrated in the New York
mayoralty election last November, for
the nominee of one of the major politi.
cal parties to run fourth, because, al.
though the technical nominee of the Re.
publican party-thanks to the primary
Mr.. Bennett was by no means the actual
choice of that party for mayor Of New
York. The direct primary thereby placed
the stamp of popular and party approval
on a man it could not and did not indorse
at the polls on election day.
There are several reasons why what
appears 80 attractive in theory does not
work out well in practice, but the impor-
tant one is that the average voter will
not concern himself over an election that
does not elect. He reads that candi-
date has failed to get his name on the
primary ballot in time, only to learn lat
er that the delinquent one has had him
self nominated afterward by petition,
and the befuddled citizen murmurs to
himself, ''Oh, what's the use?"
Considerably less than half of the com
bined Mitchell and Bennett vote that was
cast on election day was cast on primary
day. and with the total vote practically
doubled through the adoption of woman
suffrage the possibility of a repetition of
last September's absurdity will be CORE
spondingly increased If the direct pri-
mary remains. BY all means let us re
turn to the old fashioned convention sys- /
tenn whereby party nominee was bound I
to be the choice of a majority of the dele |
gates by actual count of noses. when his /
was usually made unanimous |
thereupon, where party unity took the
place OF disruption and where there was |
more real economy than is to be found in |
a system that demands two DAYS of vot [
ing when one will suffice Whatever il /
may have proved TO be in other commu !
nities, the direct primary has been a dis \
nal failure and a disappointment in New |
York state.-New York Evening Sun.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Draft Law Decision.

In confirming the consttutionality of
the selective draft service act, the su-
preme court gave the only possible de-
cision on the issue brought before it.
A denial of the right of the United
States to draft its citizens for the army
would have been a decisive blow at the
structure on which our government rests.
The Constitution, which is the founda-
tion of the American system, gives Con-
gress the right to declare war. II
further provides that Congress may raise
and support armies. Ii is on this ground
that the unanimous decision of the JUS
tices is placed. They hold that the power
Of declaring war and of prosecuting it
must imply the right to compel military
service. There can be no army with
out men. By the draft law men can
be obtained for the army in such mum
bers as a war may require.
An eXpedent sometimes used by I'M
scrupulous legislators in ham.stringing
measure desired by their constituents,
but opposed by themselves, il that of
emitting the enacting clause; that is,
leaving out the part of the bill which
declares when it shall go into force. Had
the supreme court held the draft uncon
stitutional it would have practically
ruled that the enacting clause had been
left out of the Constitution.
Those who claimed that they had a
right to decline to register or to induce
Others to do SO on the ground that Con.
gress had passed law which was be
You'd the power delegated to it have
been left without legal standing ground.
The supreme court has done what it has
found necessary to do at other times.
1t has extended the ancient instrument
on which all American legislation rests
by giving to it the Interpretation re
quired by the circumstances of the ma
tion,-Boston Globe.

Of late the American public has not
been RECALLED with any of the spacewrit-
er's rot from the American trenches.
Every time an American soldier tripped
over his rifle the fact has not been cabled
to the United States, Which goes to
show that the spacewriters are being
suppressed as the American contingent is
permitted to go about its serious work of
preparing to meet the enemy, The Amer
lean public will welcome real news from
their boys at the front but they were
getting terribly sick of the small chat
ter which came from Europe.

That which, the president says, we

writes Of
DEMOCRACY
The blue blood king, and the millionaire
king are surely passing away,
And the people who toll, and till the soil
are going TO rule, they say.
No parasite bold will be able to hold the
goods he did not earn.
He will have to work, without a shirk,
and earn the fuel he'll burn.
No more glad rags, nor high priced nags
he'll haunt along the pike.
He'll Join the throng and walk along and
even ride a bike.
His hands will soil with honest toll, and
a man he'll try to be,
While the monster, Greed, will die with
speed, and brotherly men we'll see.

Law WITH D

Since his induction into office, Attorney General
LANCER has made use OF his office. Of the laws Of the
state. and Of the desire Of the people that the laws be en-
forced. to make political capital for himself. and to graf
lily his Unsuitable appetite for the spectacular and the
sensational. He has posed a. an enforcer Of law, and
has shown a stronger desire to convince the people that
he was performing some wonder than In securing the OBJ
servance and enforcement Of the law.
His most conspicuous activities have been ASSOCIATE
ed with midnight raids. with holding up telephone girls
at the point Of q pistol, and with the din and blare Of
the press agent whom he say was ready At his elbow.
Whatever he has done in the way Of law enforcement
could have been accomplished as we'll or better IL all the
features had been omitted, and II the work
had been done just as a sane and well-balanced man
would have handled any other job. But that did not
suit Mr.. LANCER. The limeight was necessary to his
complete enjoyment Of life, and whether the noise were
have to herald his soings and cominss. and to direct the
attention Of the public to his remarkable achievements
George P. Holmes is a candidate for the position
OF attorney general. and his name will appear on the Re
publican primary ballot next week. Mr.. Homes is the
direct opposite Of Mr.. LANCER in temperament and meth
cd. He is a friend Of law and law enforcement, let no
mistake be made about that. But he is a man of order
ly method, and one who has a habit of deciding on his
plans because Of thorough Investigation. and Of carry
Ing them out quietly without fuss and feathers. Evidence
Of his character is to be found in his legislative record.
While a member OF the state assembly he was recogniz-
ed as a man of thoroughly clean character and high
ideals, and a man who is not given to speaking unless he
had something to say. When he did speak it, was to some
purpose. and his words received respectful attention from
all who heard them. If he is elected, the people may
hear less of their attorney general than they have done
during these past two years, because more Of his time
will be devoted to the quiet and energetic performance
of his duties than to planning and executing circus
stunts.

Bavaria, Lorraine to be taken by the
former and Alsace by the latter. This
proposition not only Is rejected by the
Inhabitants Of the provinces them
selves. but has aroused protests from
several of the German states, and es-
pecially from Wuerttemberg. Conse.
quently for the time being it has been
allowed to drop in favor of two other
schemes, both unsatisfactory tt some
OF the German parties.
The first Of them looks to the for
nation Of an independent state of AL
sace-Lorraine under the rule of a
duke, while the second formulates the
foundation Of a republic Of Alsace-
Lorraine attached to the German en-
pire. Both Of them have been widely
discussed but without bringing about
any conclusion. and, should either Of
them be accepted by the Germans, it
is believed the people Of the two pro-
vinces would have nothing to do with
it.
AS the correspondent Of The Asso-
ciated Press has found in discussing
the matter with Alsatians and Lor-
raine Of all classes, the only desire of
these people is to be reunited to
France, with which they have remain
ed, in spite Of the German annexation,
closely allied in all their ideas and in
all their souls. They recall frequently
in the course of their conversations
the words uttered by President Will
son:
"The wrong caused by Prussia to
France in 1871 must be redressed in
order that peace ma be established
In the interest of ALL"
