Careful Driver

I drive my car with jealous
care, all laws and statutes mind
ing, and only pause anon to
swear when balky valves need
grinding. l drive upon old fash
toned lines, as though a speed
cop fearing; l honk my horn
when danger signs before me
are appearing | put my hand
out when I'd turn, so those be-
hind may know it, and doubtless
they remark, "Gol-dern! But
he's the cautious poet!'' Twelve
miles an hour is what | hit, when
l go forth to travel; my wheels
don't fill the air with grit, or
throw up chunks of gravel. A
man SO careful, you would say,
must dodge all kinds of danger;
but one is crippled every day,
and I'm that pilgrim stranger.
Day after day they bring me
home, home to my weeping
nieces, with compound fractures
in my dome, and organs shot to
pieces. The speed fends go their
crazy ways unhurt, and still go
faster; the reckless drivers
spend their days unscratched,
nor know disaster. But I, who
follow all the rules, am marked
for daily slaughter; and when
my present poultice cools, they'll
put on ones that's hotter.

NEWARK, Del. July i5.-Nation-
wide primaries every four years for
the selection OF Presidential nomi-
nees, and a compulsory voting law
FOR President with provisions for
penalties for those who fail-to vote
were advocated by Henry Robinson
Palmer, editor Of the Providence
Journal as a means Of getting a more
popular selection Of Presidents In an
address before the Delaware College
summer school for teachers last
night
Mr. Palmer leciured on "The Ma
lional Campaign" He was introduced
by Or. Joseph II. Odell, director OF
the Service Citizens. which organizl-
ton arranged the lecture and musi-
cal program for the summer which
are proving a feature. Dr. udell SAID
ne understood that Mr.. Palmer would
discuss the subject In a n0n-partlsan
way and that the audience would
probably be unable 90 guess whether
ne Is a Democrat or Republican al
though he knew he used TO be a Pro-
hlbiilonst
In his opening remarks Mr. Palmer
said regardless OF the unrest that mas
been felt IN This country for a couple
OF years. 1--WE have ballots and not
bullets and that is what we are going
10 continue 10 have. He said he took
the optimistic view or Presidential
elections and thought 10 good
thing TO stir the country up every
four years. He would not, he said,
favor either reducing or increasing
the term Of the President now four
years. These campaigns bring us
back TO close connection with pOui-
icai fundamentals. They help us TO
become more Intelligent patriots"
In regard 20 the nationwide pri-
mary idea Mr.. Palmer said he would
have it about June 4 for both par
Ties on the same day under Federal
jurisdiction. Each party could have
as many candidates on the ticket as
fncy wished and the people could
be said, ne would suggest a compul-
sorry voting law at the Presidential
election 10 apply 90 all men and wo-
mon qualified % vote and would pcn-
alixe those who failed TO vote. Al
uthls point the speaker remarked,
l"Nhcihcr by direct primaries or con
vcnii0n we get better men than they
get Monarchs in Europe and that t
something"
iI NlctNcriNA TIC ISSUES OF the CNIl-
Ing campaign Mr.. Palmer said Gen
eral w T. Sherman was the only
man who has ever refused the noml-
nation Tor President and he made Il
plain that he would not accept tho
domination and would not accept
ihc election should he be elected
Under an the circumstances he said
