THE SOLDIER AND HIS JOB.


Here is sound logic, enunciated by
an editor who is convincing:
Every man who left job go to
the defense of his country ought to
find that job waiting for him on his
return. Any filling of it ought to have
been strictly on the understanding
that it was to be held temporarily on
ly, to be resigned promptly on its
original occupants return. These
men made sacrifices of their time,
comfort, health and risked their lives.
A grateful country, which means the
men and women composing it, ought
to be willing to do something in re-
turn
However, what ought to be or what
should have been are two different
things. The fact is that some of our
home boys who helped to save the
world from disaster are themselves
facing an economical disaster in the
come back.

ABOLIsHING THE PRIMARY.

In some Of our states attempts
are being made to eliminate the
primary system Of choosing candi-
date. There will always be something
akin to suspicion attached to the pro-
ceeding; but this much is generally
admitted-that the primary has not
as a system made it possible for more
poor men to run for office.
To run in a primary invariably re-
'quires riches-and this is the chief
drawback of the system. To restrict
primary expenses by candidates is all
right in theory, but it doesn't work
because there are too many subter-
ranean methods of spending money to
be elected.
But before a wholesale abolish
ment Of the primary system is at
tempted ii would be well to go slow
and give the system a thorough stest
running over a larger period of years
than has as yet been the case.

exercised in the msking of the con-
tracts with the power companies. 1t
is time for Dillon to do some serious
thinking along this line. The nearest
water power, and in fact about the
only water power from which Dillon
can secure electric current, is extend
ing its lines to nearby towns, as rapid
ly as its resources will permit. Many
OF these towns, in commercial sense,
are rival towns. The company has on
ly limited amount of current to sell
and when its surplus is exhausted
Dillon will have lost forever its only
opportunity to develop industrially
along with its more wide-awake and
progressive neighbors. Small enter
prises make town, but the small
enterprise fights shy of the town that
cannot furnish it with an abundance
of cheap and convenient power. Here
are three good towns-Dillon, Latta,
Rowland,-within stones throw of
each other and each operates its own
power plant with Indifferent success.
Transmission lines are being built all
around them, but still no effort is
being made to bring one of these lines
to either town. Let's arouse ourselves,
fellow-citizens, and do something be-
fore it is too late. If we neglect our
opportunities the time is not far dis
tant when We will begin to lag be-
hind the other towns that have some
thing better to offer the small manu-
facturer.

say. But if there is any profiteering
in Dillon or Dillon county The Her
aid wants it known. Publicity is the
best remedy for it and the columns
of The Herald are open to any person
who wants to make complaint. II
must not be forgotten, however, that
every merchant is entitled to a legi-
innate profit on his goods and he
must get more for his goods than he
got two or three years ago, but his
profit should not be any more thai
it was before the price of merchan-
disc advanced.
