been confined to Arizona. The legislature of Idaho legislature of Kansas also wiped out the primary as the nomination of candidates for state offices. It is yet force to nominations for county and local offices the theory doubtless being that while the voters might know something of the qualifications of candidates for the local offices they would not rule know anything about the candidates for the state offices
 In Indiana recently a bill abolishing the primary law failed by only five and bill restoring the convention system missed only two votes of passing bills for the abolition of the primary have found their way many state legislatures recently he has rather impressive evidence that the primary system is losing it's hold upon the popular imagination and that it must pass away in favor of something better.
 We do not think though that the present genera tion still mindful of the abuses of the old, sricted convention system will give up the primary until something be devised but there will be a quickening of the effort find it.
 We believe that the Howard bill oc the late Ari- legislature threw sufficient guaranty about the delegate system it proposed and it may be predicted that before many years similar that will be adopted this state some similar measure has been discovered that the defects of the popular primary only different but less than those of the old convention system.

The Bible in the Schools

Governor Campbell transmits to the secretary of state with his dsapproval the bill permitting a recognition of the study Bible in the schools a comprehensive message setting the reasons for his dsapproval Mainly his objections constitutional and here he takes occasion reply to previous ob- jections urged by him such grounds the criticism being that since his functions are executive he is trenching upon those of the judiciary The governor asserts his duty officer support the constitution and further finds this duty obligatory in disappearing measures which he reasonably be- lieves to be unconstitutional that persons whose constitutional rights threatened with invasion may be saved the trouble expense of proving through the courts that the invasion is unconstitutional
 Paragraph 2SOS of the Revised Statutes prohibits in the strongest language the of sectaran or de- nominatonal books in the schools That the Bible included in the prohibition evidently the be- lief of the author of House Bill 155 which sought in proposed paragraph 2SOSIz to secure an exception in favor of a recognition of Bible study outside the school by proposing examination of pupils so en- gagged and the allowance to them of credits for such study.
 Such law would nearly recognize the Bible text book than the laws of those states which the reading of the Bible in the schools without comment. We may ask whether the members of the legislature who supported the bill would have done if it had proposed instead of the Bible the Koran the Tamud or the canonicaI works of Budd- hsm, the Sacred Books of the East"
 We are glad to share with Vice President Mar shall expressed by him the other day, firm fashioned belief p the Bible. We believe that if all could be brought under it's influence this would be happier world. but at the time we believe it would be dangerous thing to permit the breaking down of the barriers which fathers have erected between religon and secular affairs If We were all infallbly wise and infalhbly honest there would he no need of such barrier but as long we are all human we should not be allowed to enact laws which would nflct our views with respect to religion upon others.
Arizona republican., 1919-03-25
The Primary System

The only thing that has preventeSl the wholesale rejection of the primary system which became a vogue a few years is the hestanry of humans to take the backtrack when it is discovered that they are on the road. But a s~ays ultimately the rearward journey must be mace. The popular primary came into being at time when political bosses were committing the most fragrant abuses and when the power of the people had lapsed into dsuse through such machinery then existed though now IS seen that no kind of machinery better than any other kind, If it is not used or is not wisely
 After the primary in this state two years ago complaints of our system began to se heard chiefly among the democrats for it then realized what the democrats ought to have foreseen from the be- ginning, that the primary necessarily deprives the dominant party of of it's advantage of superior numbers After the primary of last year it was pre- dcted in democratic circles that the primary would he abolished and bills were introduced into both houses for the restoration the delegate system but under the surveillance of the law whereas under the old system it under the supervision only of self constituted bosses
