to be assuming some Importance in

w ARE THE DOG"

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature for a compulsory primary
law The states that have such laws
are trying to get rid of them because
they have been found burdensome to
the people and have lowered the stau-
dard of the mon elected to office.
In the states where there is
direct primary for the nomination of
candidates, the poor man has been
shut out, because of the expense of
two elections, unless he can make sat
isfactorY political and financial ar
rangements with wcll-to-do hackers.
Government in this country is by
party Nothing has ever done so much
as the primary to dsintcgrate parties
and make the slogan at the election
the name of some popular leader.
Platforms are disregarded, principles
count for little. but the smooth-ton-
gued demagogue always finds his fol-
lowing. Precinct primaries for the
election OF delegates to the county
NOllNtiitiuii at an IiSHI. bUl the IN
tellgence of the delegates to the NOM
mating convention should not be
hampered.
The recent republican convention
at Santa Fe is an example in point.
While Fan and Larrazolo would have
been nominated at a direct primary,
it is doubtful if many of the other
men on that winning ticket would
have been candidates. Hernandez did
not want to run for congress. Pankey
did not want to run for lieutenant
governor, Field had to he drafted for
land commission, and so on, through
out the list
Let the Journal state here, with
some emphasis, that the sure way to
arouse race prejudice IN New Mexico
and put the Anglo-American on one
side and the Spanish-Americans on
the other side, politically, Is to have
a direct primary law in New Mexico.
Also, it will insure permanent tri-
umph of the democratic party in this
state.

THE TERRITORIAL CLAIMS.

The peace conference has to dispose
of great many territorial problems.
Besides the German colonies in Africa
and Australia, there are the former
Turkish possessions in Asia Minor, and
more VeXatious than either the dis
puted districts in Europe itself. You
might suppose that Poland would be
delighted to be at last free and would
be satisfied to set up a government
of the Poles by the Poles. But not
at all Poland is no sooner guaran-
teed her Independence than she seeks
to include within her domain dis
tricts that are not Polish at all. The
same is true of Czecho-Slovakia and
Jugo-Slavia. Even Belgium, France
and Italy are making claims to Euro
pean territory not inhabited by their
own people. If such claims are grant
ed, they are certain to be a fruitful
cause Of trouble in the future.
However, the claims to European
territory can all be classed together.
They are based frankly on the desire
for economic or military advantage,
and can be solved and ought to be
solved in every case by the principle
of self determination of peoples. There
are other ways of guaranteeing eco

the ownership of territory. For ex-
ample, if France wants the left bank
of the Rhine because she is afraid of
invasion by Germany from that quar-
ter some other way can be found to
make such invasion impossible than
by forcing German people under the
government of France. If Poland
wants territory that II is not Polish
so that she can have an outlet to the
sea, an arrangement can be made so
that she can have the outlet without
having the territory. If all the ma
tons want to he sure of continuous
access to the Black Sea, il might he

the Turks on condition that all forts
should be demolished and no guns

In other words, the European terri

pies. Territorial claims based on eco

denied, but in some cases the ambi-

BAKER MAY CORRECT 1T.

Word comes from the police COM
rotary of War Baker is likely TO have
the returned soldiers mustered out
by the local draft boards in the flu
ture, plan recommended by Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder imme-
diately after the armistice was signed
The police commissioner of New
York went to Washington and pointed
out to Baker how dsastrously to the
morale of the discharged men the
present system is working Also the
present system is causing disorder
and crime and is imposing burdens on
the cities near the points of discharge.
Secretary of War Baker has mussed
up with blunders about everything he
has undertaken to do. one thing in
his favor is that when his mistakes
have been pointed out to him through
general newspaper criticism, he has
not been stubborn to face about and
correct the matter, as far as there
Baker has been about on par with
Russell A. Alger as secretary of war.
II will be recalled that Algcr was the
secretary of war under Mckinley
when the trouble with Spain arose,
and he was only induced to resign
after the war was over. The blunders
made by him in connection with the
mastering out could be freely discuss
ed in .the press of the country. He
was the victim of a round robin"
signed by the higher Officers in Cuba,
Roosevelt being the only signer who
held a rank below that of brigadier
general.
Alger was an issue in the national
campaign of 1900, just as Baker and
his retention after demonstration of
his unfitness are sure to be issues in
the 1920 campaign.

one line of Shakespeare or to sign

better to help these young and OBJ
streperous nations by finding them a
good home than by putting them in
an orphan asylum.
Another way would be for the
League of Nations to retain certain
measure of control but to turn the
actual administration of these coun-
tries over to the various allies. under
certain careful restrictions. This is
apparently what Wilson is advocating,
1t is even suggested that the United
States might take hand, say in Asia
Minor, and it is intimated that the
countries in question might prefer the
United States to anybody else as
protector. My own guess is that this
is threat to the French, who have
their eyes on Asia Minor. If France
won't guarantee that all foreigners
shall have equal rights in her new
colonies she had better be careful or
she won't have any new colonies.
