VOTERS AND THE PRIMARY.

The primary has long been under fire from many directions. It was looked upon at the time it was being urged as the panacea for all political ills accom- panying a state convention. It was looked upon as a forward step whereby the people would have a chance to voice their desires and it was expected to give each and all the same chance for prefer ence at the hands of the people
 There is a great difference in the pri- maries as carried out in the states hay. ing them The laws governing them have been the cause of much adverse criti- cism and it is found that it is even a more expensive proposition running for the presidency under the primary system than it was under the old convention plan and from the disclosures as made through the participation of the people it Is quite apparent that they care little for the primary arrangement
 This seems to be we'll illustrated by the way they have responded to the pri- mary contests that have been conducted this spring. In a matter which can well he said to be quite as important to the voters as the election there has been scsnt interest manifested.

parture at this time would be contrary to all the plans of his expediton
 When he left Norway in July. 1918. 1t was Amundsen's intention to allow the "Maude" to be frozen sin the ice. following Nansen's example in 1893.
 Nahsen was frozen into the ice Sep temoer-22. 1883, and not until March l4, 1895, did he reach a point where he decided to leave his ship-400 miles from the goal But this distance was too great for successful dash to the Pole.
 Profiting by Nansen's experience l Amundsen did not intend to leave his ship so far from his goal. It was gen. erally estimated that the drift across the Polar Seas would take three years, therefore, barring unforeseen ciTcum- stances, it is not probable that the | leader of the present expedition will leave his ship for a dash to the Pole until 1921 The coming summer
 months probably will be spent in drift | ing, and if the currents and ice behave as they did with Nansen's ship. the Fran" the "Maude" by next spring will be brought to a point from which Amundsen can strike for the Pole with every hope of success.
 ] Scientists are eagerly awaiting news concerning the use Amundsen will be able to make of the two airplanes which he carried with him into. the Arctic.

THE MILK TRAINS,

Because the railroads have changed their scheduled to comply with the ac- tion of the states, cities and towns which have adopted advanced time complaint is coming from some of the large centers that the milk supply Is being affected since the producers are unwilling to get their milk to the train an hour earlier due to the inconvenience, the labor short age, the hardships and the dislike of daylight saving.
 This has resulted in appeals being made for the changing of the running time of the early trains which are sup posed to carry the milk. Those trains are supposed to run to accommodate the milk producers and the milk consumers In the rendering of service the railroads are unquestionably willing to run the milk trains at whatever hour. can be agreed upon for the interests of those involved whether it is an hour earlier or an hour later provided 1t would not throw out of joint the whole train sched- ule. It isn't the railroad that is respon- sible for the adoption of advanced time for with it's clocks unchanged and its trains running according to the new | time by advancing them an hour it is unquestionabiy experiencing quite a: much inconvenience as those who are no setting their clocks ahead.
 There have been intimations that ther,
 are. other ways than changing the run
 ming time for overcoming some of thu
 difficulty, or of avoiding part of tn, | trouble if the old hour of running tn.
 milk train is restored. This as well a.
 the matter of reaching an understanding concerning the possibility of changing
 the time of the milk train ought to b.
 readily solved according to the facts il the case. If the train can be put bacl
 on the old hour, or if another later trail
 can be used and meet requirements ther certainly can be no objections. The thin
 apparently is to find out what can done and what cannot be done and why

RESULTS OF OUR L1rEnAoY TEST.

Within the past few months several young women from European countries and the near east have sought admis- sion to this country. They have come with the expectation of marrying just as soon as they landed, but they have not been permitted to come in and in some instances have been ordered re. turned te the country from whence they came.
 Just at the present time 8 young Ar nenian woman, who managed to escape from ha1em in Turkey and came hers to marry wealthy Armenian in Phila, delphia, has been informed that she must return to Turkey and possibly te the resumption of her slavery or. death She is denied admission because sh. cannot. read and therefore cannot com ply with our Nteracy law. That infuen tiai Arnenians will endeavor to have tn, decision changed through appeal make it possible that the order will be modi fled. s
 It is to be noted that sine Is not ex cluded because she is regarded as an un desirable in the sense that she would b danger to the country. She is not de nied admission on the ground that sh might become 8 dependent because tha feature seems to be thoroughly guarde against. She is not barred because sh has any dangerous disease. She is nc ordered home because she is mentally de fcient, but she is held to be unfit to com
 into this country because she has bee
 denied the advantages which would hay made it possible for her to read an | write. In other words because Turke has carried out its horrible practices fo
 so many years this Armenian girl mus
 be made to go back there and resume I dogs life.

broken tones as he held in his hand the direful message from Characteristic. What will the country say? What will the country say?" All that night he paced the floor of his office. When the clerks came in the morning they found him eating his simple breakfast at his desk and beside him the instructions to the Army of the Potomac that he had thought out in the long, silent watches he had kept alone on the bridges.
 Lincoln never became great adIninis- trator. Except for term as village postmaster, he came to the presidency wholly without executive experience, never having had a clerk under him. The greatness of this man is to be found only in his simple humanity and in his leadership of the people: In the first dark year of the conflict this gift of his had made possible and probable the ultimate victory by winning to the Union the states of Delaware, Mary | land, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri | and the eastern section of Tennessee. Himself born among the people of that borderland, he knew them and, with his finger on their pulse, he had slowly, pa tiently led them away from the south and into the path of loyalty to the Union. l The secret of his leadership every where was the same-his kinship with
 the people, who never failed him. When
 statesmen fell away from him-they
 talked of forcing him to resign after Chancellorsville-the people pressed for
 ward with the shout, we are coming
 Father Abraham. 3O0,0OO lmore''
 The faith, the spirit, the soul of Lincoln was the fortress of the Union whose stout walls withstood ever assault. Ever when he confessed in the general gloom of the winter of 1S62-3, that he was nearly inconsolable as he could be ant ] live, he sat down and wrote out thi. secret pledge to himself: T expect tc maintain this contest until successful o till die or am conquered CT my term ex

ARBoR AND BIRD DAY.

Today, according te the proclamation of Governor Holcomb, is Arbor and Bird day, designated for special observance in the schools by having the proclamation read and special exercises carried out for the purpose of impressing upon the minds of the young the place and i'm 1ortance of trees and birds in our every day life and the value of them to the commonwealth.
 This is an annual custom that has been carried out for many years. That it has served to direct much greater at- tention to these matters than would oth- erwise have resulted cannot be question ed and the turning of the minds of. the children to trees and birds lays the foun- dation for interest and respect that are to be expected in the years to come and each years observance serves to stimu- late both.
 There was never "a time, however when there was need for creating a greater interest in the necessity of re- storing trees and woodlands than there is now. We have been going through 8 = period of depletion of our forests with. out giving the proper amount of thought to the morrow. We have somehow looked upon the supply of timber as almost linn itless but the inroads that have beer made and the waste that has accompan jed it have brought us to the realization of the fact that the time had come wher serious thought must be given to tn, supply for the future. We cannot con tinue to take away and still expect tt have all that We want unless We ar range for the growth of new trees whicl are going to be required a generation O more hence. We are using more than tn, normal growth therefore it behooves u to plant trees and increase the growtl of timber through the replacement o forests if We do not want to face a mucl more serious shortage than alread, threatens.
 We must remember that we are in creasng in numbers all the time an therefore the demands are greater for al kinds of products. The question of pre- paredness for meeting requirements a well as for protection is thus one tha We cannot wisely dodge. Such a situa tion will not of course be handled b Arbor day observances but they will nev ertheless serve to direct thought in tn right direction.

GOVERNOR cooLrDeE.s VETO.

When Massachusetts was faced with the unusual situation of having the mem- bers of the police force of Boston go on strike and leaving the city to the mer- ry of the lawless element Governor Cool idge took a sound and sensible view that could not fail to appeal to the right minded, and he received nationwide en- dorsement for his courage and judgment
 Faced with the necessity of acting up. on the bill that has been passed by the Massachusetts legislature legalizing the manufacture and sale of beverages con. taining not more than PTS per cent al cohol Governor Coolidge has applied hi: veto, and he gives good sound reasons for his action.
 He doesn't deal with the question a. to what percentage of alcohol should b, permitted in beverages and in his opinion 1t isn't case of getting beer for thost who want it, but it is a question o guarding against trying to knock out ; federal law by state action when the ac tion proposed cannot be expected to af ford any relief.
 Governor Coolidge wisely advises wait ing until the supreme court of the Unit ed States has reached a decision upon tn claims of 'unconstitutionality regardin; the prohibition law and the enforcement act. To pass state law which would 2 contrary to constitutional federal iay would simply be rushing into trouble and to pass such a law before the cour has acted means the intimation to tn people that the federal law can be dis regarded when it is known better an when no one will be likely to make 2.7 beer knowing that they were in dange of being brought before federal cour
 When Governor Coolidge points or that the proposed state law would onl be deception and such deceptions al dangerous there can be no question br what he is right and Massachusetts wi act wisely if it decides to wait.

 feet. Even in Gall.x.-..a Snere there has been warm contest between fayorite sons it doesn't appear that the total pri- mary vote for both will amount to as much as the 574, 900 votes cast for John son for senator four years ago.
 In Maryland there was decided lack of interest, the combined vote of Wood and Johnson amounting to only about a fifth of the votes cast for Hughes in the past presidential contest. The same is true in Indiana, although not quite So pronounced. In that state where there was 2 hard fight the combined vote for the four republicans didn't amount to much more than half Of the number east for the republican candidate for presi- dent four years ago.
 This seems to be pretty good evidence that the voters are not deeply interested in the primary or the reforms it Is sup posed to procure.

 It Pays to be Neat
 It has been frequently said that bad news travels rapidly. In this case it was good news. A dirty faced urchin had asked a business man for a penny. He was told to wash his face and hands and the request would be considered When he next appeared the business man encountered the youngster with face and hands glowing like a 1Oo-candle power lamp He got the penny. But the news spread rapidly for the next time he appeared there was a regiment of youngsters all with clean hands and faces He was game and produced and now the charm is being tried upor others who look as if they might be touched by cleanliness.

Stories That Recall Others
The Sorrows of Peace

A woman's society whose principal ac- tivity during the war was providing en- tertainment for the soldiers was about to give a dance. One of the women who had acted as chaperon, meeting a demure miss who had earnestly and strenuously thrown herself into the party and dance game, asked: Coming to the dance, Luella?''

 "Why what's the reason?" asked the surprised chaperon.
 'I would have no one to dance with, " said Luella.
