CURRENT COMMENT
Primary Mediocrity.

Senator Moses Of New Hampshire
said in his recent New York speech
that the direct primary is to blame
for Congress being made up Of me
diocre men" Pres. Hopkins Of Dart
mouth college, in his latest address,
said that the primary is one of the
principal things the matter with our
political system, that the primary is
responsible for our representative form
of government being representative Of
the mediocrity Of the people.
Nearly everybody agrees that the
direct primary is a failure, no mat
ter how strong it is in theory nor how
firmly they thought it would succeed
when first adopted. There is more and
more talk about giving up the primary
system Of nominating candidates for
office. In Maine both parties are urg-
ing its abandonment. In time Of
stress, a Republican form of govern
ment needs brains, courage, integrity
and farsightedness. The United States
needs such men in Congress and in the
legislatures OF the several states. We
need exceptional men. Mediocre men
will not carry us safely along. The
primary is producing, for the most
part, mediocre men. If we are going
to get the especially able men that we
need. we may have to give up the pri-
mary system and try out some other
system.
What other system is there' The
old fashioned convention system did not
always work well. Many voters who
remember its operations hesitate to get
back to it. SO they cling to the pri-
mary. The people Of the United States
ought to have brains enough TO in-
vent a system that would be better
than the old Fashioned convention and
better than the direct primary, sys-
TEN that would retain control in the
hands Of the people and at the same
time shut off the mediocre men" who
are crowding in under the primary
system more and more at each cleo
tion.-Boston Herald

DON'T HINDER THE FIREMEN.

The return of the large number Of
automobiles to the highways with the
opening up of good motoring conditions
brings back that annual hindrance ia
the fire department-the person who
blocks the fremen, either in getting
to the scene of the fire or in perform
ing their best work through crowding
close to the burning building. Al
ready, the Barre fire department has
found itself handicapped in the per-
Torrance of its duty through the
thoughtlessness of some persons who
race to the fires in response to general
alarms, blocking the streets for swift
passage of the fire trucks, and who
run their cars SO close to the scene of
the fire that the firemen have not room
in which to operate their apparatus.
1t is even said in connection with a
recent fire in Barre that the motor We
hicles were so thickly parked about
a hydrant that the firemen were ham
pered in making their connection with
the hydrant.
Let those thoughtless people consider
for a moment that 1t was their prop
erty that was burning. Would they
be likely to put anything in the way
of the firemen which would prevent
the fremen from doing their best work
in putting out the fire! Would they
park their cars so close to hydrant
that the fremen could not make quick
connecticut They certainly would not;
and, moreover, they would be incensed
at other motorists if the cars of the
latter were placed too close to the Ivy
drant. Taking the matter home to
themselves, the motorists would not,
we feel sure, do anything TO hamper
the firemen. 1t is to be hoped, there
fore, that in the future there win be
no repetition Of the performances re-
Gently. Give the fire trucks clear
road. Park your cars considerable
distance from the locality of the fire,
especially from the hydrants.

Twenty five thousand Chicago fam.

be good, but what are the $4,000 fam.

begins to blow off Lake Michigan next
fall? We SILVER to think of the pos
sibilities of tent life then and of the

something more substantial than can

give the tenants temporary feeling Of
satisfaction but it would not be cal

OPIE DEFENDED
BY HISOWN MEN
Former Members of Com
mand Declare He Did Not
Kill Soldiers
ACCUSED OFFICER
GIVES WAY TO TEARS

WASHINGTON. Jan. GA soldier
and an officer who earned the decor
auons OF his own and other govern
ments for bravery in battle lost his
composure and cried yesterday be-
fore the Senate committee investi-
eating the charges OF Senator
Thomas r. Watson, OF Georgia
The former soldier who cried was
Major Heroine L. Opie, OF Staun-
ton, Va. battalion commander OF the
One Hundred and Sixteenth Infan-
try, Twenty-ninth Division, accused
OF killing two or more OF his own
men.
His breakdown, followed by his
own denial after he had regained the
spirit OF a man fighting for his
name, came when a former asso-
ciate in the Twenty-ninth Division
voluntarily appeared before the
committee to attest to the valor and
justice of Major Opie That assoc
ciate was Representative John Philip
Hin, of Maryland, who was with
Major Opie north of Verdun in oc-
tober, 1918.
1t was distinctly Major Opie 8 day
before the committee. He smoke in

mand also testified that the charges
against him-involving the alleged
shooting by Opie OF courier, an
orderly and another private-were
Imaginary happenings.
Several witnesses mentioned by
the accusers OF Major Opie as being
In position to furnish corroborative
evidence came before the committee
and declined to corroborate. Instead,
they defended Opie unreservedly.
Just before Major Opie left the
stand, Senator Brandegee, chairman
asked him If he could suggest any
hypothesis upon which the men who
had testified against him could have
builded their claims that he killed
his own men. With reluctance he
said there was only one incident in
the long fighting to the north Of
Verdun in October, 1918, which
might have been twisted by an
imaginative and overweight mind
into such a charge. That, he said,
was when a lieutenant OF his com
mand had accidentally killed him
self in extracting a revolver from a
pile of captured weapons.
Major opie said he ran to this
man, felt his heart and rushed him
to a first-aid station. The command
was not in combat at the time and
the lieutenant was reported KILLED
in action" rather than the victim OF
an accidental death. in respect for
his family, Major Opie furnished the
name of the lieutenant and several
witnesses who we're with him at the
time
From that incident alone, he sug-
gested, may have come one OF the
charges-that he shot a courier and
then bent over him and took his
orders from him.
The testimony OF both Major Opie
and others of the Third Battalion
was that the commanding officer had
never shot a soldier. The nearest
approach to such a thing, they said
was when he fred into the air after
a number of stragglers, retreating
toward the rear when they should
have been going forward to battle

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells US that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper -acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
Chloric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten sours
in the stomach much like garbage sours
in can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, fatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and drink while it is effer-
vescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid
IeyS and thus promote free flow of
pure digestive juices.
lad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.
