ton; interjects the element of in
creased expense; precludeSy the am.
bltion of the poor and capable seek
er for office; emphasizes the oppor-
tunity of the man of means able to
secure publicity; and puts upon the
nominee no declaration of principles
representative of the party for which
he is supposed to stand or of the
electorate from which he finally re-
ceives his commission.
In number of states there is be-
ing attempted a plan to combine the
good points of both the convention
and the direct primary. This Is to
hold party convention to make
nominee. selections. then to submit
these selections to a party primary
at which others can try for the nom
ination along with those who receiy-
ed the approval of the convention.
In this way, it is figured, there can
be deliberation and discussion in con-
vention over the making of nonli-
nations. If the nominees of this
convention are not representative
of the party and not up to the stand
ard as interpreted by the voters
themselves, they can be rejected at
the primary and others chosen in
their place to receive the party vote
at election. The direct primary
system is bound to become a very
live issue in many states in the very
near future. and the result Is very
likely to be a less comprehensive
use of it. a restricting of it to the
larger Offices upon which the citizen
use of the. convention and primary
has very settled opinion, and a wise
together as a means of securing the
real verdict of the voters of a party.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-24
The Direct Primary
1.-THE Philadelphia Press

The direct primary system appar-
emily can no longer read its title
clear to an untroubled existence. 1t
is no longer regarded as something
supernatural and above the reach of
criticism. In many parts of the coun-
try there are rumblings of discomfort
and threats of change in states
which have had years of experience
with the system. In Massachusetts,,
the present Legislature has approx
ed a bill restoring the old party
convention for the nomination of
all state officers below Governor and
Lieutenant Governor. In New York,
1t Is no secret that it is only the
veto of Governor Whitman that will
prevent the passage of a law that
would restore in some fashion the
meeting of party delegates for the
selection of nominees.
The theory of the direct primary
is that every voter is prepared, will
ing and able to express himself af-
firmatively or negatively on every
public question. But this theory as
sumes that this state of mind can be
brought about without conferences,
without exchanging views, without

no matter how bulky-to its body
no mater how clumsily-and then
send it off to the desired destination,
from it's home or to its home. This
appears so absurd to the amateur
as to scarcely need refutation, the
plain fact being that homing pig
cons fly to their home only. 1t Is
their innate love of home which
causes them to seek their old habi-
tation as speedily as possible when
taken or sent away from home,
after being liberated or given their
freedom. 1t is for this reason that
they are very properly designated as
"homing" pigeons. His merits are
his wonderful intelligence, accom-
panied by a finely developed body
According to the many miles flown
while being trained, or in prize
flights with hundreds of competing
pigeons, the birds are proportion
ately valued and honored by the
owner.
New York, Philadelphia and other
large cities have regularly organ
iZed pigeon flying clubs, the mem
bers of which contribute valuable
prizes. In some of the larger races,
hundreds of pigeons are sent to
points from one hundred to a thou
sand miles distant from their homes
and all of these are liberated at one
time for the homeward race. Time
and distances necessarily are calcu-
lated with exact mathematical accu-
racy, in close competition. Writ
ten messages are usually written
upon very light paper and inserted
within a quill, which is then securely
tied or fastened to a tail feather of
the pigeon in, a manner that will
not interfere with it's flying. HON.
ing pigeons are usually found with
aluminium bands on their legs, bear
ing registry numbers. Many fam
ciers also mark the wing or flight
feathers with indelible ink, using a
rubber stamp giving the owners
name and address.
Ex-Judge largest, of Harrisburg,
whose long-standing interest in the
care of the pigeons and squirrels in
Capitol Park. Harrisburg, is well
known throughout the state, has at
various times reported the arrival
OF splendid specimens of the homing
pigeon among the large flock OF
common pigeons frequenting the
Capitol. However. such guests
will not mate, neither are they ac-
customed to making a prolonged
stay; and after feeding. resting and
recuperating, they resume their
homeward journey. These birds
might have been on homeward
! flights from the west to New York
and vicinity.
The intuition and knowledge OF
the homing carrier pigeon is Won
derful and makes thousands think
| Truly it is as easy for God to supply
the greatest as the smallest wants OF
his creatures! Birds once more are
doing their full service to mankind
in the present conflict of nations as
! they did many centuries ago.

The Old Loneliness

Old books. old friends are best,
Old things are loveliest:
Old houses, and the glamour of old
days,
The olden peace, the olden, quiet
ways.
Old gospels. and old dreams!
With new delight life teens
When these are read, when these are
told:
All youth at last grows old.
In bleak December. 10!
A whirlwind of white snow.
o heart! lost April then
Seems wonderful again.
Yet dream new dreams, be glad
For all the soul once had.
Old books. old friends are best
Old love is loveliestl
