1T is A PARTY CONTEST

THE first thing TO be remembered by the
l. voters who wish to prevent the nomina-
tion of the candidates Of the Contractor
Combine is that the contest is within the
Republican Party.
Two sets Of candidates have been selected
By two sets of Republicans. The set which
gets the most votes in the Republican pr-
maries will be nominated.
There is no Voters League Party The
League is a group of Republicans The
candidates that it indorsPs are Republicans.
They cannot be voted for by citizens who
register as other than Republicans.
There is some confusion about this in the
minds Of the inexperienced voters, a con
fusion which the Contractor Combine would
like to foster because 1t will benefit by it.
Every voter who registers az n Republican
10 qualified to vote for the candidates op-
posed TO the Contractor Combine.
II all those opposed to the Combine get
their names on the registry lists 10y the
time the books are closed next Saturday
night, and II they vote right at the pri
mary on September 20. the efforts of the
Combine to come back will he frustrated

DOCTORS ON ART

ORDINARILY a doctor is the last man
" from whom one would expect Il finished
criticism of a school Of painting. But
good deal may be said in praise Of DIR.

rleanSed of evil.
The doctors believe that much of modern
cublsm and futurism is due TO latent insanity
in the artists. They see evidences Of mental
and spiritual degcnerary in many Of the
canvaSes in the show of modern work at the
Metropolitan.
Twisted and distorted bodies green fe-
males and sky blue cows seem to them to
reveal something like a mental collapse in
many painters who can boast international
regulations and two motor"ars each.
We venture to believe that the artists are
not crazy.
The crazy people are those VIII" buy and
admire the futurist canvaS"S.
1t j. significant that many Of the artists
who now pose MS the most cubic of rub!sts
are men who once painted ably and earnestly
enough Then no one would buy their pic
lures. II was only after they began to
paint like children or mnatic> that they
found buyers.
The picture dealers. who do much to eS-
tablSh fashions in art, heIucd the futuriStir

PUBLICITY AND DISARMAMENT

DRESIDENT HARDING appears to have
met the all important question of pub
licity In the Disarmament Conference with
still another of those governmental innova-
tions TO which we have become accustomed
in a time when Governments have to try
their hands at all sorts of new and difficult
and complicated tasks.
Current news from Washington indicates
that the sessions of the conference will be
private-or secret. If you prefer the word.
But in order to keep public opinion informed
about all that goes on those assigned to
represent the United States in the conference
will issue detailed reports covering every
debate and every action of the Conferees.
Uncle Sam after toilng for years as
Galdhad, as the Good Samaritan. as Arbiter
of the Worlds Destiny, as Bearer of the
Worlds Burden. will now assume an even
more thankless - but perhaps even more
important-roe. He will function for a
while as a reporter Of news.
1t has been urged by statesmen in Wash
ington and those of Europe that wide open
Disarmament Conference is impossible be-
cause of the delicate and explosive nature of
many questions of intimate concern to
various nations which will have to be
dragged out for frank and free discussion.
Men familiar with habits of thought and
feeling in some Of the foreign countries most
seriously interested in the present plan for
peace feel sure thnt the aims Of the con-
ference might be frustrated at the outset by
too much publicity.
They say that general misinterpretation
Of motives would be inevitable IL this ma
tion or that were permitted to hear its affairs
talked of bluntly by critical statesmen Of
other countries. They wish, rather, to see
heated debates reported or summarized in
calm and tactful reports.
Perhaps they are right. Perhaps here Is
hint Of wars original causes.
When the people Of all countries learn
10 think nationally. to keep their feet on the
ground and to keen a check on their preiu
dccs and passions when. in other words.
they learn to think Clcnrly-they may b.
delivered from the tcrrors Of war. Until then
they will continue to pay for their emo
tionn ism with death or mounting taxes.

incontestable. Citizens Of the sterner sex
are quite as lax-but that is an old story.
Under lackluster conditions like the pres
ent the proposition of compulsory voting,
which would imply compulsory registration,
is usually revived. 1t has been resuscitated
within the last few days.
The fancy, however, is a queer inversion
Of the spirit Of American liberties. Under
compulsion enthusiasm for the privileges Of
democracy must inevitably fade.
Perhaps registration could be popuarized
by converting the process into one Of diff
culties to be compassed only by superlative
effort.
Is it the ease Of becoming a voter that
Cheapens the right?
