The. argument seems to me to be
all on the side OF marriage. Your
husband will doubtless be able to
give you better chance to improve
yourself than you could earn
through your own efforts, and be-
sides you would not have the worry
Of making livelihood for yourself
and mother.
When the marriage is over and
you are settled in your home she
will become adapted to the situa-
ton and will probably realize that
she was selfish in making such a
demand.

very large number Of Iowans. as well as
citizens Of other states. who at one time we're
most enthusiastic over the primary election,
are now the most ardent oondemners At the

people is the voice of God" no longer sufices
as an argument and they are at loss to find
words to express their opinion on tse workings

Of the corrupt caucus bosses"
Many are found who would return uncon-

There is no use going from one extreme

The present primary law that Is now SO

that very thing.
In all honesty, 1t is not the voice Of the

unless the voice knows what it Is making
noise about.
The great trouble with the present primary
system is that 1t is getting away from the rep
resentative form Of government.
A good many people are just discovering
that this nation was founded as republic"
and that as a republic it has grown great. A
republic is q representative form of govern
ment- Now why not get back to representation
in the matter of primaries and nominations.
The trouble with the present primary is that
the whole people is not capable of nominating
even state ofncers by popular vote, let alone
selecting national officers. The lack Of capa-
bility is not due to a lack Of honesty nor in
telligence, but to lack Of first hand informa-

opportunity to pass upon the ability and quail
| fcations Of a man whose actions and conduct
they come in daily contact with and they will
pretty surely size him up correctly.
