GOOD WORK BY HAYS

Mr.. Will Hays, by promptly suppressing the Fatty Ar
buckle" pictures, has justified his resignation from a cabinet po.
sihon to accept q job as the head of the Motion Picture Producers
association, and in the estimation of decent people will be credited
with taking a long step in the actual earning of the big salary he
is reported to draw down. 1t is not stated whether the suppression
is temporary or permanent, but it is pretty safe to assume that
it will be the latter, if Mr.. Hays has his way.
No doubt there are people in every community who would pay
to see an Arbuckle film, but we doubt very much if it would pay
any exhibitor to put it to the test. There are people who would
pay to witness any sort of indecency, perhaps, but an over
whelming majority of those who attend amusement enterprises
have a distinct sense of decency. It IS true, also, that the men who
run the theatres, as a class, are clean-minded and prefer to cater
to the clean-minded patrons of their enterprises. The motion
picture business, as a whole, gives promise under Mr.. Hays of
better things in future.

is alright in theory, but. it don't work out in practice There has
never been a primary election held in Montana that brought out
more than fifty per cent Of the qualified voters, and usually the
proportion is much smaller than that. The result is a minority
control.
The chief opponents to any changes or the rejection of the
primary system will probably be found among those self styled
leaders who feel a personal urge to serve the people in public Of
flee. This class of politicians was not unknown in the old con-
vention days, but there was always an easy way to insert the

Even the editors Of the Call and Promoter will have to admit
that improvement in public service has not been distinctly prom
inent since the the primary law has been in operation.

IT DON'TW0RK

The rather aggressive and determined movement to abolish
the primary system of nominating candidates for office started
at Dillon last week, as might be expected, has already raised a
small tempest of protest on the part of that class OF politicians
who realize they would never have a chance to get before the peo-
pie except upon their own initiative. Editor Linebarger of the
Havre Daily Promoter is highly incensed at the very idea of there
being anything wrong with the primary law. Editor Paul Flint
of the Great Falls Call also views with alarm the proposal to go
back to the old convention method of choosing candidates for pub
lie office.
We do not claim the old convention system as perfect-noth-
ing human is-but as expressing the will of the people and max
ing for good government, it always worked better than the present
system and was no burden on the taxpayers. The primary system

To the Edltor:--I have just fin
ished reading the message sent di
rect by President Carl Gray of the
Union Pacific to the Bend Bull
letln, making public the author
ized plans of the Union Pacific
should they be granted the right
to purchase the Central Pacific.
During the past week or two
there have appeared in the Port
land paper, numerous stories pur-
porting to reflect the sentiment
of the people of the Willamette
valley, which, If correct, appear
TO us here in southeastern Oregon,
to have missed entirely the sig
nificance OF the possibilities for
the development of the entire
state of Oregon. Believing that
the development OF the entire
state will result in great bene-
fits to all of us, irrespective Of
where we are located, We wish to
call your attention to Mfr. Gray's
statement referred to above where
in he says that should the Union
Pacific be permitted to proceed. IL
would not only complete the Ma
tron cut off but would also com
plete the line from Ontario To-
Crane and thus direct route
would be available through Cen
tral Oregon to Eugene and the
Willamette valley.

are thoroughly conversant with |
the potential possibilities OF such
a railroad and realize the I'M
mense amount OF tonnage from
the Willamette valley which could |
find market by SO direct a route,
we need not dwell upon that fea-
ture, but we would like to call
-FOUR attention to the marked con
