owe allegiance. The direct primary
encourages men of inferior ability to
seek Office, because under It's opera
ton the campaign for nomination and
election Is too often In the form OF a
personal appeal to voters without
much regard to politics. rather than
presenting the candidate as the choice
of representatives of his party. 1t will
not be denied, of course, that high
class and deserving men seek and OBJ
tain office under the direct primary.
but to most of them the system Is re-
pugnant. While originally devised
and adopted as a means of destroying
machine politics." as practiced under
the convention system, the direct pri-
mary proved to be fully as suscepti-
BILE to machine methods as the con-
yentions of the old days, and has
made possible new forms of political
abuse that could never have been ac-
complished under the old system. An
example of this kind is the theft of
the democratic primary by the nom
partisan league But If we can not
dispense with the direct primary al
together, the coming session of the
legislature should at least take action
that will effectually prevent repeti-
ton of this specie Of piracy brazenly
perpetrated in the name of reform.

and thrift stamps which they bought
as patriotic duty during the war
and they would probably have saved
nothing but for the war. These in
vestments will come in very handy in
the future and will relieve many
family in some coming time of stress
and emergency. Many have learned
that they can live on a little less as
easily as on a little more. They have
learned that it is much more COM
Portable to live within ones means
than to live above ones means.
The saving habit is good one to
keep up. 1t would be well, indeed if
all the people would remember these
lessons of thrift taught by war neces-
sity and would firmly determine to
keep out of debt, to live on a little
less than is earned. to save some
thing constantly out of the monthly
or weekly check and keep ahead OF
the game.

REPUBLICANS WILL SHOW HOW
MONEY WAS SPENT.

Interesting revelations are enliven-
ing the hearings on the naval appro-
priation bill before the house COM
mittee. 1t appears that a powder mill
was built at Newport. r. L., at cost
OF $l,600,O00. The experts" of the
government, however, were little
unfortunate in their selection of a
site as it now transpires that the
structure will fall into the sea unless
a seawal is constructed at cost Of
another million dollars.
Another instance is the acquisition
by the government of the jamestown
exposition grounds as naval train
ing station. In making the appropri-
ations for that purpose congress def
initely limited the purchase price to
$1,20O,000, but 1t now develops that
the department succeeded in getting
through an additional allowance for
the purpose of 100000.
These are but examples Of the
facts that will be revealed when the
ao counting of our war expenditures,
to be demanded by THE republicans, is
placed before congress.

PARTIES AND PRIMARIES.
lBoise Statesman)


There Is only one instrument by
which government can ge carried or
In republic, and that instrument is
party--a political party. The first
duty of an official or of statesman
is that of keeping faith with his party
so long as he can conscientiously sub
scribe to the party's principles. When
he can no longer do so he must leave
the party or lose his political and
moral integrity.
There were evils in plenty connect
ed with the old convention system,
but that system enforced party loyal
ty and made outcasts of demagogues
and of those men so devoid Of princi-
pies that they would compromise on
anything in order to win votes.
The primary system, on the other
hand. makes party organization an
impossibility. Idaho has just furnish
ed the country an example of how,
under the primary, the nominees may
be a set of men whose principles and
political aims are entirely at variance
with the principles and aims of the
party to which they pretend to be-
long.
The primary system encourages
men of small caliber to run for office.
Under the convention system, for in
stance. no man elected on straight
party platform would dare to open
overtures with any minority third

NEW USES FOR ZINC.

washington Correspondent Engin-
eering and Mining JournaD.
AS zinc smelters and rollers, in re-
Spouse to the war demand, have hith-
erto enlarged their plans to double
the normal prey war capacity, the war
industries board is studying ways of
developing possible new uses for zinc.
SO as to utilize this increased output.
George G. Stone, Of the non ferrous
section of the board, points out that
the chances of increasing the uses Of
the metal are good. This is particu-
larly so in the case of rolled sheet. In
this country, Mr.. Stone says, the roll
ed zinc production has never been
more than 10 per cent of the spelter
output. In Europe, many of the larg-
er producers roll from SO to 100 per
cent of their output.
An objection to developing new
uses for sheet zinc Is the fact that the
present demand nearly equals the ca
pacity of the mills. Additional output
would require new construction in
rolling mills and notifications in ma
chinery for putting the sheet into
useful shapes For that reason, and
because Of the fact that considerable
time will be required to educate the
public to the advantages of zinc for
roofing, which is. the use that prom
ises most from tonnage standpoint
Mf Stone concludes that the increas-
ed use of castings is even more i'm
portant at the present time than is an
attempt to expand the use of sheet
zinc. AS the spelter producing ca
pacity of the country is In excess of
the demand, ample material for cast
ings is. available. The probabilities
are that castings could be substituted
more readily for brass aluminium and
other metals than would be the case
with sheet metal
Though there are many ways in
which zinc can be used to great ad-
vantage, Mr.. Stone pointed out that
care must be taken to keep in mind
the following industrial applications
of the metal 1t is quite soluble in
acids and in alkalies; it's strength is
comparatively small and may be re-
duced Importantly by exposure to
relatively low temperatures (above
300 degrees F.; it's coefficient of ex-
pansion Is high, about double that of
steel; and it is not fireproof but can
be burned in a hot fire.
For purposes of ready comparison
the more important advantages in
using zinc, as given by Mr.. Stone, are:
1t is little affected by ordinary atmo-
spheric agencies. as when exposed to
the weather it soon becomes coated
with thin and firmly adherent coat
ing of the basic carbonate. which
completely protects it, except from
acids 1t is very ductile and is easily
formed into complicated shapes it is
susceptible to a high polish or can re-
ceive dull or frosted polish: it
can readily be plated with gold, sill
yer, nickel or brass, and takes any of
the finishes commonly used for brass
or bronze articles; and it can be en-
ameled If care is taken not to over
heat in baking. Mr.. Stone has COM
piled list of nearly 200 articles, for
which zinc has been proposed or is
lalready used.

THE THRIFT HABIT.
anaconda Standard)


What the American people learned
about economy and thrift during the
past year under the stern necessity OF
war should not be quickly unlearned
now that the war has ceased. There
was never a more wasteful people
than the people of the United States

Money came. easily and 1t went just
as easily. Debt was easy to contract.
Anyone could get anything that he or
she fancied by running in debt for it
and few considered it worth while to
do anything more than make a living
and pay debts that became too press
ing for peace Of mind.
War brought the necessity for econ
omy and saving. AS patriotic duty
men had to buy Liberty bonds and
thrift stamps and all had to contribute
to the Red Cross and other war funds,
to contribute to the relief Of the Bel
gians and other unfortunate people in
Europe. In order to keep up with the
rest in subscriptions and contributions
men had to save and so they learned
to save. They learned to live on less
and to lay something aside for such
requirements. They got out OF the
habit Of spending everything as soon
as 1t was earned.
It Is sincerely hoped that the les
sons thus learned in saving. economy
and thrift will not be utterly forgot

come such wasteful and IMPROVE
