THE STATE CONVENTION
AND ITS CHALLENGE
Everett c. johnson u NFwark Post.
August L..

Next Saturday is primary election
day Tor the Republican Convention
90 he held on Tuesday at Dover. Dele
gates will be elected who will name
tho nominees for United States Sem
ator. Congressman. State treasurer
snd State auditor. This Is rather an
important convention. More so than
public interest would indicate. The
dolcgates who assume this response
hili,y OF naming the candidates are
confronted with a task and duty that
should challenge all that is best in
civic thought. II IL no ordinary days
outing or political convention lark.
There are several contests. but not
80 many az would be best for the
party or State. In many instances
the selections have been made in
secret councils OF the party. In sew
eral of the contests that do prevail.
they arc mostly for personal and fac
tional advantage. Little II any prin-
cipal Is involved. The men have no
idea OF the selections 10 he made or
os the platform 20 be presented. All
this will be done without consideration
or consultation OF the rank and file
interest. The contest is one for con-
troll Of the party organization ami ''to
win" is the secret slogan.
All this is wrong. II is a civic crime
and the fault is with the voters. Can
didates. State committee. and plat
formal could represent the best
thought and best interest Of the State
If only the individual voter would
act now. rather than later.
But there Is n thinking and watch
ing interest among the voters that
should challenge the delegates. More
than at any time in our observation
the coming convention and its express
slons and actions face thinking
electorate. The men who direct this
convention and the delegates who
vote are facing the most serious think
Ing Of generation.
So IL behooves them 10 glance back
home and take heed OF that thought
Their own future is at stake. party
success is AT bay. and what is more
vital, the States interest is in their
hnnds for the time.
The convention has a wonderful op-
portunity and a responsibility unusua
IN consequences. Let US have thos,
directing. those candidates. those plat
form issues. that will appeal with pride
and condolences TO the thinking Man
hood and Womanhood OF the State
Away with personal. factional. sec
tlonal Juggling for position and power
Away with those who thus live an,
have their being-and give us Trutl
and Men.
This II the challenge as we interpre
the growing conscience and indepen
dence OF men. This represents theil
thought. Their acts depend on tn,
sincerity, the worthiness and civic un
selfish interests OF the directing force
and voting powers assembled in Re
publican convention next Tuesday.

WHEN THE VOTERS
HAVE THEIR WAY
At OPEN PRIMARIES
And When Party Bosses Take
Upon Themselves tho Making
Of Nominations.
Difference HERE SHOWN

Editor Every Evcping: on Thurs
dry, August IL. 1s22, your paper
printed an article from the Newark
Post, entitled. "The State Convention
and Its Challenge" That article was
printed one week ahead OF time. 1t
was needless trouble TO print It
then. and to address it to Republicans.
The Republican party needs no pri-
mary election, for In that party there
In no choice OF candidates. as I'm all
instances. not In many" as the sec
ond paragraph OF the article states.
In all instances "the selections have
been made In secret councils of the
party"
The article is most admirable. II
In well worth reprinting II Il be ad-
dressed To Democrats. VIII YOU please
reprint IL in your issue OF Thursday,
August "a, or on Friday. August %.
40 that Democrats. who do have con-
tests at primary elections. may profit
hy such good advice? There Is not a
word in that article that should fall
TO the ground. IL is Democratic
plea. and the Democratic party Is the
only party where such an appeal can
find answer.
The holding of a primary election
last saturday was "A farce. and n waste
Of time for all those who participated.
60 say nothing OF wasted expense All
the delegates were assigned. All the
parts were rehearsed. The stage was
set long before Saturday. There was
nothing NJ all TO do except announce
officially tho mandates OF the dictator
nj the official gathering OF the official
representatives of the dictator AT
Dover on Tuesday.
But on Saturday. August 90 there
will be n primary election where the
registered voters OF tho Democratic
party will go 10 the polls and of their
own free viii they will choose. Ivy ma =
iority vote, tho delegates into whose
hands is entrusted the serious matter
OF doing just what is so ably set forth
IN the most excellent article from the
Newark Pest. The Democrats have
contests. so that there may be free
choice by a majority of the party
After the choice is made on Satur-
day, there viii he unison OF suppor;
for the candidates chosen by the elect
cd delegates at the state Convention
20 be held az Dover on Tuesday

man power, high Government onicials
and w. Jett IAuck, the leading labor
economist in Washington, were In
complete accord. Tho shortage, mot
actually present, In mt least imminent.
Government officials. moreover.
point out that the steel companies
not long ago reduced wages In the
mills by 20 per cent. and tho increase
now IL merely restoration OF the
rates In effect before the period OF de
f1ation" In labor costs began.
Also government officials now point
cd out that the movement against all
labor unions on the part OF certain
powerful financial and Industrial In
terests has resulted In n counter
movement for the unionlzation OF
some OF the big Industries that were
on an open shop basis.
This action should have a profound
effect also on the future decisions OF
the Railroad Labor. Board, and may
possibly affect the anthracite coal me-
gotiatlpns. 1t is undoubtedly the bo-
ginning OF similar wage increase In all
our basic industries" Is Mr.. Lank's
view.
Government officials, In viewing the
wage situation do not overlook the
fact that the operators In the West
moreand cbal field of West Virginia
also put into effect voluntary in
crease In wages. This IL non-union
field and most OF the large operations
In It are owned by steel companies OF
interests allied with steel.
II is believed by administration, OF.
ncials that there is a direct connec
ton between the increase In the wage
OF steel workers and the mine worker,
of this particular field.
Also. It Is asserted by officials tina
the movement toward unonization Il
extending to the unorganized Goa
regions and that the interests con
trolling the Westmoreland opera
tions undoubtedly sought to forestal
1t In that section by jumping thei
miners wages.

NAME ROBERT FROST
VERMONT LAUREATE
Selection by State Federation of Wom-
ans Clubs - Has Summer Home
In South SALISBURY.

SPRINGFIELD, June S.-Robert
Frost has been selected poet laureate of
Vermont by the State Federation of
Women's clubs, it was announced yes
terday at the convention of that body
here. The poet has a. summer residence
at South Shaftsbury.
Very few college graduates commit
crimes of violence, Pres A. r. Bru-
baeher of the State Teachers college.
Albany, y. Y, told the convention last
night, in the course of an address on
The ADVANCEMENT of Learning Recent
analysisAaof the prison population of ia
selected of middle western states,
Pres. Brubaeher said. showed that of the
comparatively few college men in prison
the great majority had committed
crimes of craft
''TheSe men are made comparatively
gentle by their education" Dr. Brubacher
said. VERY few commit crimes of vio-
lence. Not a large percentage commit
crimes against sex. An overwhelming
percentage were convicted of crimes of
craft. Learning had made them clever
and willing to take a chance with their
cleverness against law.
Here is disturbing features of mod
ern education. College men choose
finance as a career, and want to know
how to compound wealth by mere manip-
ulation of figures, by astute use of com
mercial secrets and by financial acrobat
les. Character is not built on clever
ness. Financial sleight-of-hand is EN-
phasized at the expense of real character
The old educational effort in science
history and literature may not safely be
ignored Science makes for humility
history lays the foundation of wisdom
literature awakens sympathy and under
I &c. r4f
fundamental and indisputable subjects
without which learning cannot advance
With them, and philosophy added, the
cause of education will remain safe and
sane and at the same time be progress
