THE CIINK OF THE COIN.

Loud voices rose in alteration.

his high desk frowned. Il threw

Is sanding before the desk, his fingers
resting palm down, on the edge of
desk top. And your hand was
raised to receive it as it now. Don't
tell me again you didn't get it."
The stout man replied vehement

cried, land ! haven't moved since

pressed downward on the top of
the desk; he seemed to need the
support. His face was red; his eyes
were bloodshot; anger exuded from
him.
"Ah," exclaimed the cashier,
there is Mr.. Keene. I'll ask him.
Mr.. Keene," he continued, address,
ing the famous Detector who was
approaching to pay his check, will
YOU take a second to clear this mys-
terry up for us?" He explained
how he had slid the coin across
the desk to the stout man, whose
hand was still raised to the level
of the desk top as it had been to
receive the coin.

GO THE WHOLE WAY.

The Morning Journal several weeks
400 declared itself in favor of direct
urinary law without reservation. Since
that time both political parties have he!d
state conventions and have embodied III
their platforms provisions for the enact
ment of such law, the republicans adj
vocating a direct primary law limited to
the selection of all officials within the
county, while the democrats have
pledged themselves to, statewide law.
Our friend the Herald, in announcing
its stand in favor of the republican plank
for limited county primary, says that
the issue is clearly defined. In support
of its contention the Herald says:
"In the recent Missouri primary
the vote of Kansas City for United
States senator reflected the senti-
ment and choice of less than Is per
cent of the qualified voters.
At present, less than two per cent Of
the qualified voters of New Mexico,
under the convention system, select all
without having had any voice in their
selection Furthermore, the delegates
themselves are wholly in the dark as to
who the party's choice is likely to be
until after the formality of the "compli-
mentary" and "favorite son" ballots has
been dispensed with, then often having
to resort to the eleventh hour expediency
Of dark horse" The result is that
in the majority of cases they are COM
PEELED to choose the lesser of two evils.
The Herald says that Sin theory the
statewide primary is good and that
the county primary, on the other hand,
is sufficiently limited in scope to permit
the people to know personally every
candidate before them and to permit
candidates to go personally to the
people" In thus stating it's case the
Herald controverts its own argument. If
the statewide primary is good in theory
only, then the county primary is good in
theory only. Conversely, the same prin-
ciple which renders the county primary
good commends the statewide theory to
practice. Why should any limitation be
imposed upon the people in the selection
OF their state officials that is not put
upon them in choosing their county Off
clals? 1t may be said that by reason
OF their close proximity they have
more intimate knowledge of the char
acter and qualifications of local candi-
dates. So much the better. But this is
also forceful reason why they should
be accorded an opportunity to scrutinize
the personal and political qualifications
of the men who are to represent them in
office and whom they do not know.
The issue is clearly drawn, but we
maintain that it is drawn between the
direct primary and the convention
method, not between a statewide and a
countrywide direct primary law. The
principle of the direct primary law is as
fundamentally sound in it's application
to the state as it is to the county.

WORDS AND THEIR
ORIGIN
"How Forcible Are Right
words."-Job.

Coward. In olden times the hare
was called "couard," a derivative
of Old French 'coue' (queue), tail,
from Latin 'cauda.' A coward is
known to run with his tail be-
tween his legs" From this we also
have to COVER in fear.
Assassin. This word is really
plural, being derived from 'hacha-
schin, eaters of the drug 'haschish.'
They We're fanatical Eastern sect
who committed murder for the
glory of their divinity, the Old Man
of the Mountains. The word Is OF
Arabic origin.
Porcelain. From the Italian
'porcellana,' the name signifies a
particularly glossy shell called the
venus she'll" 1t is a derivative of
porous Latin for pig

DETECTLETS
BY DAVID DART
Being Episodes in the Life Of Keene, Detector.

->eene, instantly alert, interested,
flashed one glance at the desk, the
cashier, at the stout man. The
after stood motionless, fingers still
esting on the top of the desk, palm
hand downward.
Suddenly far-away look came
to the great Detectors eyes. The
look denoted inspiration.
Possibly" he said quietly to the
stout man, "if you will drop your
hand to your side the deep mystery
will be solved"
Dazed, amazed. incredulous, the
stout man obeyed.
Then, in the silence of the place
where all eyes were alert, all ears
wide open, was heard the clink of
a coin on the floor.
Keene, famous Detector, picked
the IS gold piece from the floor
and tossed it nonchalantly upon the
desk.
Wonderful" many voices muir
INJURED.
Mere elementary elimination of
impossibilities," replied Keene.
"The only place the coin could go
without Gathering upon the floor
was up this gentleman's sleeve.
He smiled winningly and paid for
his lunch.

higher than some of the domestic
issues. Butte and Superior was
pushed up more than two points
and American Zinc nearly a point.

DOLLAR DAY SUCCESSFUL

November 4th, the first an
nual Dollar Day of Island Pond
Merchants was an unqualified
success. The citizens of the
town responded with more en-
thusiasm than was expected to
the efforts of the merchants to
make this first Dollar Day
successful. 1t is probable that,
since the first event of this kind
met with such universal appro-
baton in the town, there will
be another bargain day of the
same nature within the next
year.
The committee appointed to
interview the merchants in re-
gard to Dollar Day neglected
to call on the grain merchants.
This was a regrettable and un-
intentional oversight, and the
committee desires to apologize
to them through these columns.
