have lived 100 years in politics since

aroused interest of the masses in

Senator Borah opened his plea fol
the direct primary by expressing re
greet at disagreement with his politi
cal friends. He read statements or
the primary law by Senator Weeks
Secretary Of State Hughes, and Other
Republicans because {" do not want

Takes Up Primary.
He criticised the repeal Of the prim-
airy law in Idaho because mot word
about it was said to anyone" He
connected up his criticism of the ex-
cess profits tax and tax exempt securi-
ties with his criticism of the conven-
ton system with two per cent. of
the people controlling 85 per cent. of
the political power"
In citing figures on dividends of the
Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey
| he read an item from The Statesman,
of Boise with the comment:
81 read an item from The Boise
Statesman. Notwithstanding it's source

cause it's an Associated Press dis

Praises william E. Lee.
He paused in his address to speak
for the candidacy of William E. Lee,
of Latah county, as follows
The Statesman has been insisting
upon regularity in party politics. But
The Statesman flew the track a few
days ago and is now opposing the can
didacy of the republican nominee for
the state supreme bench. Why do
not know unless it is on account OF
the high character Of the man who
was nominated at Wallace"
The very first step in representa-
tive government is the selection of
the candidate If you haven't the
time or ability to select your candi-
dates you haven't the ability to elect
them. The real reason for the prim-
airy law is that under the primary
law the people are becoming more
and more interesed in legislation and
the representative is more and more
a delegate of the people.

The battle of ballots throughout the
country is largely between the two dom

Zionist, farmer-labor, single tax and
other organizations, however, continue
on the ballots here and there, with
some Independent and other miscel-
laneous designations. Also marking

Congressional candidates mostly
are for the sixty-eighth congress
which will not assemble until Deem
Der, 1928, unless a special session next
summer should be called. OF the 81
Senatorial seats at issue, 80 are for
regular terms of six years beginning
in the next congress and five to fill
vacancies by death and resignation.
In addition to the 435 members Of
the next House to be chosen, there
are three to fill vacancies in the
coming winter session, two from Ne
braska and one from Illinois.
Capture of control of the next house
is the avowed objective of the demo-
cratic organizations or, failing this,
material reduction of the present re-
publican majority Of 165. The house
now has 296 republicans, 100 demo-
Gratis, and one socialist, with eight
seats vacant. A turnover of more
than 80 seats is required for loss of

A Granite State Hero.

Governor ALBERT o. Brown of New
Hampshire recently called upon the
State to honor this week the memory
OF General JOHN STARK, who died
100 years ago Monday. General
STARK was New Hampshires great
est Revolutionary hero. His name is
preserved in a beautiful park and a
monument at the site Of his old home
at Manchester, and he and DANIEL
WEBSTER we're chosen by the State
as the two illustrious sons whose
statues should be placed in Memorial
Hall at the national Capitol.
AT the news of the battle OF Lex
ington STARK left his sawmill,
mounted his horse and riding to Bos-
ton collected on the way the New
Hampshire troops who did such val
liant service at Bunker Hill. He af.
terward resigned from the army.
When Ticonderoga fell New Hamp-
shire flew to arms and called for
STARK to lead her troops. He was
placed in command because the men
would not march without him."
His crowning military victory was
winning the battle of Bennington,
Vermont. This defeated General
BuRGoYNE's plans to join General
HOWE at New York by way of Albany,
which, had they been successful,
would have cut of New England from
WASHINGTON army. "The provin'
cials fought more like hell hounds
than soldiers" reported a British
officer. WASHINGTON in giving STARK
the rank OF Brigadier-G General for his
success said. "One more such stroke
and we shall have no great anxiety
Of the future designs of Britain"
General STARK will be remembered
by every American schoolboy by his
orders. At the retirement from Bun
ker Hill one OF his soldiers stepped
out of ranks to inform him that his
son, CALEB, who was in his fathers
command, had been shot. Back to
your post" he said. "If he is it is no
time to talk private affairs while the
enemy Is advancing on our front"
In his speech at the battle of Ben
nington he said to his troops

The Bible and Golf.

A denizen of Kansas City, JOHN t.
READY, has filed petition in bank
ruptcy in which he declares that all
he wishes to retain of his assets is
his Bible and set of golf clubs. IL
is shame to think of such a philoso-
pher going broke, although the lesson
he teaches is worth much gold to all
who hear it.
In Mr.. READY We see the saint and
the sportsman, the pious FOUNDER of
the pale pill. What can bankruptcy
mean to a man who thus selects so
cleverly all that is necessary beyond
bread for the upkeep of the spiritual,
intellectual and physical wellbeing?
His library may pass into the hands
of the receiver, but who needs a
library when he has Bible? His
eight-cylinder Zowie-Zingo may chug.
chug for the highest bidder, but wha:
is motoring alongside thirty-six holes
of golf?
II is too bad that ToLsToY did not
live to hear of this Missourian, who
has exemplified the teachings of the
Russian mystic; too bad that Pastor
WAGNER could not have put Mr..

STARKs a widow" His famous
phrase at Bunker Hill is quoted as
Boys, aim at their Wristbands"
The modern version of this last
order is that STARK, after driving a
stake in the ground in the line of the
advancing redcoats, said. IF one OF
you fires until they reach that stake
I'll shoot him." Modernity also ques-
tions the correctness of the quotation
from STAEK's speech at Bennington,
on the ground that Mrs. STARK S
name was ELIZABETH and not MOLLY.
But the old versions have become too
well established historically to be
lightly overthrown. Besides, they
seem thoroughly in keeping with the
rugged old hero's character.
General STARK was a good repre-
sentative Of the type of men who
made the American Revolution a sue
cess, men whose memories are well
worthy of being honored by Ameri-
cans of to-day. He lived to be 94.
and, with the exception of General
SUMTER, was the last surviving Cen
eral of the Revolution.

The Latest Chinese Question.

When General WI and General Chang
Appealed to arms the whole world rang
Said General Chang-his troops agrin-
"Come, now we may as well Pekin."
Then General WI appealed TO Sun.
But he teplied, "I can't-Canton."
In spite of which the West soon knew
That victory remained with WI.
The mandarins and coolies. too,
Saw that the man was not Manchu.
SO General Chang behind the Wall
Drinks wormwood tea and bitter gall.
And now the burning question shakes,
What pattern newer China takes.
Some say the President should be
One short on tongs and long on tea.
Others against old styles inveieh
And shout aloud for Alfred Szc.
Again says rumor, Take this queue"
And murmurs gently. Doctor Koo."

And handle that frail land with care.

Opening the Yachting Season.

| When the Harlem Yacht Club goes
the yachting season may be said to
be formally opened in New York
waters, although racing will not be-
gin for fortnight to come. The sea-
son of 1922 will be the small boat
enthusiasts year afoat, for the great
event of the season will be the inter
national race of the six meter boats
to be sailed on the Sound off Oyster
Bay in September
This means the centering Of in
terest on the progress of the craft in
this class up to the time Of the trial
races to select the four boats to meet
the British challengers. These races
are now scheduled for August. AS
local knowledge of winds and cur
rents was the chief factor in the
races last season in the Solent off the
Isle of Wight, these elements may be
counted in favor OF the Americans in
September. But the American de-
signers will have to turn out faster
models than we're those of Grebe and
Montauk, the American leaders in
the 1921 series, if they are to outsail
the visiting Britons.
Meanwhile a series of interna-
tional races is to be sailed in June
on Flushing Bay or Little Neck Bay
or Manhasset Bay, whichever may be
selected, between miniature yachts
American yacht model sailors are to
meet boat of this type brought here
by w. J. DANIELS of London. These
boats come under classification be-
tween 3S and 46 inches in length and
are sailed without time allowance.
Central and Prospect parks long have
had their model yacht sailors. but an
international race for these dainty
miniature sailing vessels is novelty
that will attract deal Of attention
from all devotees of water sports.

A Cynic on Idealism.
DR.. Richmond's Surprise at the Aims
OF College Students.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: DR.
Charles Alexander Richmond of Union
Collegs seems to have been panied that
when asked why they sought an edu-
cation the young men in college class
room answered with one accord, ITO
make more money"
And why. pray, should they answer
differently? For what were millions
of men slaughtered or MANNED in the
late war? What is being sought at
Genoa at this moment? Idealism or oil
and coal fields? Why is Haiti being
held up?
Man always has sought and always
will seek the admiration of his fellow
beings. If money will give him the
means to satisfy this craving, money
he will use every effort to gain.
Without a doubt the world would be
far happier il human beings could be
trained to enjoy the higher things of
life, but the world is not nor has it
ever yet been safe for the higher life.
AS well exhort the young college men
TO wear flimsy garments in wintry blasts
as to urge them to keep their eyes
turned away from the thing that the
rest of the world is fevershly pursu-
ing. PLAIN CITIZEN.

the motor to be placed In a box
and to be started up whenever the
neighboring noises became annoy
ing. If anybody puts motor of that
kind on sale in New York II should
be as popular as an electric fan is in
the open window season.
Something older than science can
be brought into play by city noise
makers if they will but have the
grace to call on two things. These
are consideration of ones neighbors
and the practice of self-control in
the making of totally unnecessary
and nerve wearing noises.

years, dating back to before 1s4s; he

knew him as boy that went along
attending to his own business with q
sort OF matter of fact positiveress. He
did not enter with great glee into the
plays in the school yard so much as
other boys, but he would be found on the
sober, solid thought side.
At the same school at the same time
we had Franklin Murphy, later Gov
ernor of New Jersey, whose father had
a shoe store on Newark avenue, Jersey
City; Samuel Dickinson, Secretary Of
State of New Jersey for a number of
years L. L. c. Young, the head OF the
First National Bank of Jersey City, and
a lot OF other boys who were afterward
lawyers and bank presidents in New
York ci.y-all boys at the same school
at about the same time.
Having been at the same school, nat

make his mark in the railroad business

operations as intended 10 build up and

man should have been called away when

Controlling City Noises.

When warm weather makes neces-
sary the opening of windows to their
fullest extent in New York Offices
and homes the noises of the city i'm
pose tax on the nerves which grows
heavier and more exhausting as the
season advances. Necessary city
noises do not have the irritating and
gradually harmful effect that unnec-
essary racket produces. Among the
unnecessary noises may be grouped
the outrageous footing of automobile
horns, fiat wheels on surface railway
cars, joy blasts of river boat signals.
the trade cries of hucksters.
Not long ago the members OF the
Academy of Sciences In France lis
tened to paper read by a French
scientist, DR.. MARAGE, devoted wholly
to this subject. DR.. MARAGE ex.
pressed the opinion that it was the
duty Of the French Government tc
take measures to restrict city noises
"out of regard to future generations
and before the nerves Of parents
were finally ruined" He admitted
city noises we're inevitable, but de.
clared IL was possible to control
them "and thereby avoid a serious
loss of efficiency by city dwellers.' -
The ear, he said, was not injured by
low vibrations but ultimately it wa,
damaged by higher ones.
among the practical suggestions
DR.. MARAGE made toward repressne
unnecessary city noises were that
street car gongs should be tuned
to a perfect major scale and that
automobile horn notes should always
be In bass and the vibrations dead
