PASS THE CASH PRIMARY BILL

BY Joe Earman in Palm Beach Post.
If the Democratic party expects to
conduct another Democratic primary,
the Democratic members of the Leg
islature of 1919 must enact another
primary law.
The Democratic party cannot con-
duct Democratic primary under the
primary law now in force. 1t thought
it could, but it cannot. The second
choice voting in single primary Is
in theory sound In Democratic prin-
ciple. giving opportunity for major
ity expression in choice of candi-
dates; but in practice it results in a
plurality choice where more than two
candidates offer for the same office,
and plurality choice of officials who
hold the peoples commission is not
sound in Democratic principle.
This perfectly good appearing law
has been tried three times and three
times has it been found wanting A
good intention with a bad perform
ance does just as much harm as NAL
ice aforethought where the practical
effect is the only point to be con-
sidered.
The practical effect of the presen,
primary law is plurality nominations

EXTRADITION OF KAISER
NOT TO BE REQUESTED.

Amtserdam.-The allied and asso-
ciated powers will not ask for the ex-
tradition OF the former German en-
peror, the Paris correspondent OF The
Telegraaf says he learns, but will ask
the Dutch government in the name OF
the league OF nations to see that Herr
Hohenzollern does not escape the
moral consequences.
II is expected that as a member OF
the league, he adds, Holland will in
form the former emperor that he must
appear before an international court
or leave the country. A highly placed
French authority on international law
told the correspondent that the pro-
ceedlngs against the former emperor
would be on moral grounds and tho
sentence would be OF a moral charac-
ter entirely. There Is no question OF
a death sentence or imprisonment, the
correspondent was told.

While no official information is yet
at hand with regard to the appoint

plenipotentiaries to proceed to Yer
sailles to sign the peac treaty, the
latest unofficial advices arriving in
Paris from Germany are to the effect
that DR.. Hermann Mueller, foreign
minister in the cabinet OF Herr Bauer,
and DR.. Bell, the minister OF colonies,
have been chosen for the duty.
The time for the signing OF the
treaty also still is in doubt.
Everything seems contingent on the
actual appointment OF the men who
are to act for Germany and their ar
rival in Versailles.

the occasion OF the signing of the

change or reservation.

retary Tumulty, said:
My fellow countrymen:
The treaty of peace has been sign
ed. III it is ratified and acted upon in
iull and sincere execution of its terms,
1t will furnish the charter for a new
order OF affairs in the world. 1t is a
severe treaty in the duties and PEN
alties it imposes upon Germany, but it
Is severe only because great wrongs
done by Germany are to be righted
and repaired; it imposes nothing that
Germany cannot do; and she can re-
gain her rightful standing in the world
by the prompt and honorable fulfill
ment OF its terms
And it is much more than a treaty
OF peace with Germany 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before

tolerable order under which small
groups OF selfish men could use the
peoples OF great empires to serve their
ambition for power and dominion. II
associates the free governments OF
the world In permanent league in
which they are pledged to use their
united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and Justice. 1t
makes international law a reality sup
ported by imperative sanctions. 1t
does away with the right OF conquest
and rejects the policy OF annexation
and substitutes new order under
which backward populations
which have not yet come to political
consciousness and peoples who are
ready for independence, but not yet
quite prepared to dispense with pro-
lection and guidance-shall no more
be subjected to the domination and
exploitation OF stronger nation, but
shall be put under the friendly direc.

STIRRED OVER SIZE OF ARMY
Senator Borah Pessimistic Over What
Other Nations May or May Not Do
in Matter Of Armament and Men.

Washington.-Failing to command
the united support Of opponents OF
the league Of nations, the proposal for
an immediate declaration of peace by
congress was blocked in the senate
foreign relations committee.
After long and lively discussion.
the committee voted IL to to defer
action for the present on the resolu-
tion Of Senator Falls, OF New Mexico,
embodying the peace declaration. Five
senators opposing the league, includ-
ing Chairman Lodge, joined the league
advocates in supporting the postpone
ment motion.
Although the peace declaration pro-
posal was not discussed in the senate
chamber during the day, Senator Bo-
rah aroused a three-hour debate on
other issues OF the Gcaty fight by re-
newing his attack on the league COW
enant Citing the army bills pro-
vision for an army OF 100000 men. the
Idaho senator declared the league
would increase rather than decrease
armament.
Heaven only knows what we will
need II other nations do not share. II
we are going to exercise economic
pressure on other nations for every
little cause and IL we're going to po-
lice the word, he Is a driveling idiot
who thinks that means anything but
