THE POOR OLD PRIMARY

While we are listening to various
people who want to destroy the
preferential primary and restore to It,
pristine power and beauty the grand
old convention system, let US reflect
that without the primary the state OF
Pennsylvania could not have elected
ar Independent candidate for COVER
nor in its recent primary. The vic
tory of Pinchot is a primary victory
Just as in Indiana the victory OF
Beveridge over New was victory for
the primary.
Admitting that the primary has
ruined party government and pretty
well taken away all interest in party
affairs because it destroyed bosses
and leaders, it still has its merits.
Perhaps we need bosses and leaders
in political affairs. In any event lei
us remember Pennsylvania d
Indiana, where under a convention
system Of selecting candidates an in
dependent would not have had ghost
of Q show.

PUBLIC FORUM
MORE ABOUT CONSOLIDATION
Bloomington, Wis,
MAY 81. 1922.

Bloomington, Wis.
May 81, 1922.
Friend Sherman:
Will you please publish the follow
ing next week at least as prominently
as you published the cause of it?
The writer was severely scored by
a lady from Little Grant in the last
two issues of the Herald because OF
his advocacy of school consolidation,
and she publishes several letters
from farmers living near Farley, Ep-
worth, Peosta and Graf, Iowa, giving
arguments against consolidation of
schools. These towns are all in Du
buque county, which is one of the five
Iowa counties that has not now and
NEVER HAS HAD consolidated
school. The remaining "a counties in
Iowa all have consolidated schools,
which have increased in number since
1.-The first one was built about ten years
ago to over five hundred in that state
at the present time. So it would seem
that anti-consolidation arguments
from Dubuque county are hardly
worth the paper they are written on.
There are more than 10000 consoli-
dated schools in the United States and
the number is steadily increasing,
therefore they must give satisfaction
to those who know of them from
actual experience. The writer has
made a personal investigation Of con-
solidated districts extending over a
period of some three years or more
and has been told by great many
farmers who opposed the plan that
they were ashamed of themselves
after it had been given fair trial.
Consolidation is endorsed by every
prominent educator in the United
States and has been advocated by our
| leading farm papers fol a good many
years. 1t is too important subject
| to be discussed in the manner used by
the lady from Little Grant, and while
we believe in free speech, we regret
to see such a .ood and progressive
paper as the Herald aiding the opposi-
ton to consolidation by the publica-
ton of the communications referred
to without fair investigation of the
, reliability of the evidence offered.
Yours for better schools,
A. G.. BISHOP.

A MATTER FOR VOTERS

The most important thing IN a
democracy is DEMOCRACY!
Here is a state where this funda-
mental of self government has been
lost sight of majority rule has suf-
fered and home control Of affairs
made joke.
Most of us we're brought up believ-
Ing that in our government a major
ity vote settled q matter and the
losers, being in the minority, had to
smile and shut up.
In the past few years the cult of
paternalistic high-brows running
things in Wisconsin have been shov-
ing various things at the people upon
the principle that the dose was good
for the patient and had to be taken,
yes or no. Whether or not the patient
public wanted it didn't seem to mat
ter.
If the people of g state are in
capable of deciding matters for them
selves let us drop this pose OF de-
mocracy, throw the masks off and de-
clare to the world that we believe in
system handed down from above-in
other words AUTOCRACY!
On the other hand ii we believe in
self government, local voice in affairs,
building citizenship and character
through the exercise of initiative-let
Us elect men to represent US who Will
tear down the autOCratic ideas.
The voter has one thing left-his
ballot. If he isn't precious careful
he'll lost that Be watchful.

WAR HERO GETS DEED
TO SOUTHLAND ESTATE

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-A big load
is off the mind of Sergt Alvin York,
the Tennessee mountaineer whose eX-
ploits in the Argonne, where he cap
tured single handed a battalion OF
German infantry, brought him the
title of "the greatest hero of the
World war;" from Marshal Foch.
The deed to his fine 400 acre farm
on Wolf river. Frentress county, near
Pail Mall, was presented to him Tues
day. 1t came to him every penny paid.
The presentation was made by j. I.
Wheeler, a trustee of the York Fund.
When York returned to America in
1919 he refused all offers to appear on
the stage or in the movies and COM
mercialize what he termed IAN act OF
God" announcing his determination
to devote his life to the education OF
his people.
The deed presented to the sergeant
recited, in addition to the usual land
description, the citations York had re-
ceived for his Argonne valor, which
include the congressional medal OF
honor and the croix de guerre.

Gags to Cincinnati. The innovation
vas not kindly received.
The same meaty document informs

I'll voted down an ordinance to pre-
5ent bathing between November and

Virginia taxed imported bathtubs

Hartford, Providence, and Whining
on sought to discourage bathing by
doubling the rates on water used IN

Boston made bathing illegal except

In 1850 President Fillmore had one
0athtub, Cincinnati pattern, built IN

This tub served as the only source
of bodily cleanliness for our Presl-
dents, their families, and their en-
:ourages until the presidency OF

At the height of Roman civilization
the baths represented the last word in
civilization. The Roman baths are
not equaled by those of today.

WARS NOT YET OVER,
WOOD SAYS AT MANILA

MANILA-Governor Leonard Wood
speaking at the Memorial day exercis-
es, chose as his text the words en-
graved on the tombstone Of an Ameri-
can officer who died in battle:
'He lived right, fought right, died
right" He said: WAR is not yet over.
Battles are on every hand, nor will
war cease until God remakes mans
nature. Let us get back to the prin-
ciples of the constitution; back to
faith in the things about us, faith in
country, faith in church, faith in self.
We do not desire war, but willing
ness to serve alike in peace and war
must continue to be the national
spirit

EVOLUTION OF THE TUB

Some discussion RACES, pro and con.
as to whether or net we'll tubbed
race is a healthy race Those opp05-
ing soap and water declare that man
is not, bioIogically speaking. an am
phibious animal. In other words the
question is raised as to whether or
not as a race developing our skins are
used to the effects OF water, hot, cold
or lukeWarm
The ant-bath folks concede that
certain concessions have to be made
40 civilization and polite society.
They agree that a man carrying out
their ideas would eventually get
pretty strong Tin certain way)
although he might be very healthy
But, they contend, the whole matter
of body dirt is caused by wearing
clothes, which. in a way, is another
concession to what we call "civiliza-
tiOn." They go on to prove that con-
tinual bathing has actually a harmful
effect upon the skin, depicting the
natural oils and rendering the body
more subject to disease.
The advocates Of constant bathing
cannot prove that it promotes longev-
witty or health Their cult is too
recent for that. For eighty years past
people have bathed-once a month,
once a week, once q day-or oftener.
For one hundred thousand years back
of 1910 people did not battle except
by accident with the exception of
various highly civilized peoples dwell
ing in warm climates. Not one of the
ancestors of any of our North Euro
pean Americans bathed. They did not
have the facilities or inclination and
if they had had these they would not
have dared tot would have been
dangerous.
THE Story of the Bath" tells us
that the first tub was installed in
American in 1912, just eighty years
ago, and just sixty-six years after the

GARDEN PRAIRIE

We are sorry to hear that Mrs.
Louisa Jack still continues quite i'll.
Several farmers were still planting
corn Sunday. Last week was SO wet
that it delayed planting considerable.
Peter Caspers had sheep killed by
wolves last Wednesday night. Gene
Harrington was called to round up
the wolves. We haven't heard how
many he rung up.
Blackburn Bros, Lester anc Art.
hauled home 100 bushels of corn from
the two Petes" car Friday.
Peter Caspers and Peter Glass
macher, the 1.-TWO Petes" unlooded a
car of corn in Cassville last Thurs
day and Friday.
Last Thursday was wet day There
were perhaps forty teams in Cassville
and all compelled to stand out in the
rain. If the people in the village could
hear the remarks the farmers made
that day it would ant be very compll-
mentary to the village. Perhaps it
would be just as we'll to provide some
sheds of some kind as to put all the
money into the hand and let the farm
ers holler. Remember, if it wasn't for
the farmers grass would grow in your
streets.
VIM. Caspers purchased a dos "a
pointer, we Think, very fine dog,
from Leon Showalter the other dsy.

FORD TO OPEN MOTOR
FACTORY IN MOSCOW

DETROIT, Mich.-Henry Ford has
decided to open an assembly plant at
Mosciw, and trade with the Russians,
it was announced at his office here.
The Moscow plant, it was said, will
be similar to that now in Cork, Ire
land, and other European countries,
and at first about 200 men will be en-
ployed Mr.. Ford is said to be con-
vinced that the only way the Russians
can hope to reach economic efficiency
is through transportation, and since
railroad facilities are practically nil
he has decided to try and bring about
cheaper automobile transportation.
At first efforts will be to create a
market for tractors and trucks.

WHAT Is GA FREE PRESS?"

Editor Bishop, writing in the
Herald's public forum, takes us mild
ly to task for publishing letters from
farmers wife, upon the important
subject of school consolidation
The Herald can return the gracious
compliment Mr.. Bishop accords us
and agree too that he publishes a
newsy and progressive paper. We are
therefore much surprised that people
in his locality seem to find it neces-
sary to come to the county seat to
give voice to their opinions on a
strictly local matter.
The Herald gives this space as we
give space to ali because we are pub
fishing Free Press" Whether or
not we agree with the writer makes
nc difference.
Editor Bishop seems to be able to
hold his own in General and the
Herald viii not take sides or issue in
the Bloomington school fight Our
opinion III the state law governing
consolidation was published some
weeks ago. We consider this law abb
solutely undemocratic arbitrary and
unjust
The Herald does not expect to agree
with all our readers on every subject
or to have them agree with us Never
theless, it would pain us greatly if we
felt that by any action or manner we
made anyone feel that they were
barred from writing us on a public
matter We believe in Free

Murderers Hunt In Pairs

Governor. McRaeEhas granted a furlough from the penitentiary to James Reidinger of Pine Bluff, who IS serving a five year sen- tence for manslaughteri in con- nectionj with the killing of w. A. Fowler in 1921.
 This case was thoroughly tried outlln the courts. and confirmed by the Supreme Court. Atsthe same time an accomplice, Hicks Riley, was sentenced to two years in the pen. Riley has served 8 months and the Pen Commis- sion has given him a''parole, and in order to let them out together McRae has given Reidiuger,a fur lough. We suppose these mur- derers have to hunt their victims together so to enable the mur- ders to continue McRae kindly turns them out at the same time. Yates Standridge, who is called the Human Wolf" can xii them by himself or. can get a partner on the outside to help him, but these other ;murderers are not human wolves but are human coyotes and have to hunt in pairs to have, courage enough to kill their prey. so the Mer- ciful McRae turns them aloose together. Yates Standridge is getting we'll so we mays expect the murder business to pick up.
 How long are the decent people of Arkansas going to put with the rottonness in the manage ment of the state penitentiary?
