High Cost of Primaries

the slightest infraction of the laws.
There is, as a matter of fact no
limit to the amount of money that
can be spent in perfc ~ proper
ways in a primary in q great state
such as Pennsylvania. Newspaper
advertising, for instance, might be
carried to an extreme such that
candidate would use a page display
daily in every paper in the common
wealth. The direct primary means
a personal appeal to every voter and
when there are more than two mill
lion men and women affiliated with
the party it is obvious what it must
cost to place just one piece of liter
ature in the hands of each voter.
Pinchot. it is said, spent approM-
mately $4,000 for a single post card
canvass of the state.
Then there are the expenses for
maintaining headquarters, for traV-
cling, for hiring workers who can
not give their time without COM
pensation, for Autographs and other
printing for watchers at the polls,
for campaign badges, buttons and the
like. In ALL there are a thousand and
one ways to spend money, ana
scarcely one in which the campaign
manager can economic without
fearing that he is ieopardizing the
success of his candidate.
What are candidates for office 10
do about it? In the last presidential
camapign the public was greatly
shocked to learn that considerably
more than million dollars had been
expended in behalf of one aspirant
for the Republican nomination. I'm
questionably that had much to do
with his defeat. Yet it was not
charged that that fund was raised or
disbursed unlawfully. He was the
kind of candidate for whom it would
have been possible TO collect a great
fund by popular subscription, even
though in that case much OF the
money was contributed by one rich
man.
Nothing like a comprehensive ma
tion-wide canvass can be made Tor
the presidency with the expenditure
of a mere million dollars. Pinchot
was widely known and faVofapiy
known in every corner of Pennsyl-
vania and yet it cost him Sl20,u0 10
make a successful fight for the sup-
ernatorial nomination. At that rate'
what would it cost to put over cam
didate for the presidential prize IN a
campaign that had to be carried INTO
4S states w Iltc NOut OWA
Obviously it will not solve the
problems to limit the amount can
didate or members of his immedlate
family may spend. If a committee
can be organized that can raise ana
Law out any obtainable sum in ms
behalf it is just as bad as If an In
dividul paid the entire bill.
And here is something for both
advocates and opponents of the dl-
rect primary to think about-lf
limit is to be put upon the amount
of money that a man may conrlpute
to advance the political fortunes Oh
candidate. should there not be
limit upon the amount of time
energy and ability he could give TO
such a campaign without compensa-
ton.
AS a matter of fact, one mans
time and advocacy might be worm
more to a candidate than all the
money another man might donate,
and that time and advocacy might
be used as illegitimately as ever
money was used in the days oil

Il Isn't All in q Name

Just because mans name is Watson. he cannot
say what he pleases in the senate of the United
States and get away with it. And right there is
where Senator James E. Watson of Indiana made
mistake not long ago when in the heat of tariff
debate he attacked French and British representa-
yes and especially Ambassador Ricci of Italy, ac-
cnsing the latter of antagonizing our prohibition
enforcement law and immigration laws; and when
he attributed to Ambassador Geddes impertinent
opposition to United States ship subsidy law and
rebuked the ambassador adding: I'VE must not have
an American merchant marine Who said SO? The
British ambassador"
The senator has come in for good deal of
criticism for giving way to petulance Whether he
was right wrong in his Interpretation of the
marks and activities of representatives of foreign
nations it is charged that he Unexpectedly exhibited
bad taste and the effect of it could be only mischief
making.
Now, if Senator Tom Watson had thus flown off
the handle and gone farther and had invited,
in his characteristic manner Sir Auckland Geddes
and Sgnor Rcci to the lobby of the senate that he
might knock them down. no comment would have
been occasioned
Senator Jim should understand that the
of Watson confers no immunity to all who bear it

We cannot repress note of regret that some of
correspondents are mingling the subject with
politics for politics and poultry will not coalesce
any than politics be successfully introduced
into any other business These gentlemen though
have long been immersed in politics that perhaps
we could not reasonably expect them to free them
selves wholly of the effects of their former
environment. For time suppose they will con-
tinue to think in terms of politics. But ultimately
their interest in poultry will wholly triumph and
they will be free indeed

Letters to the.
Editor
Further siaht on Hoaanizina

Yuma, Ariz., June IL. 1872.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Your explanation, for the benefit of
a Dragon inquirer of the technical
meaning of the word "hoganize," is
entirely erroneous. Knowing your
skill and standing as philologist |
am astonished, but knowing your
practically unlimited information
upon all subjects pertaining TO
chickens | am astounded. Inasmuch
as the matter is a serious one, | take
the liberty of offering a correction,
You have the sexes confused, which
is always serious. "Caponizing" re-
fers to an operation which concerns
only the male; "hoganizing." which
YOU declare to be an improved meth
cd of caponizing, is one the contrary
the name of a system. developed by a
Mr. Hogan, for ascertaining the egg
LAYING qualifications of the female of
the species. I think you should hasten
to give this information to your Dra-
COON correspondent. before he is led
into the penetration of an egreglous
and irreparable blunder.
The pronunciation of the word ac-
cented on the first syllable. with a
long 20 as in hoe is as you state
it, but I believe your suggestion that
zone who might surmise that the
word relates in any way to the late
Tucson conference would be justified
in believing that the 30" takes the
short sound. as in "hogging,' con-
stitutes an unnecessary and uncalled-
for reflection upon your political
party | have neved understood that
the Republican party considered the
hand picking of candidates. or their
selection by the best minds" as
'hogging." There might wen, how
ever, be a direct connection between
the Hogan system" and the method
generally practiced in the selection
of Republican candidates, since the
qualifications sought in each instance
are practically the same.
But as a Democrat, and one VINO
believes in the Democractic prlnclple
of the direct primary. | am or the
opinion that if there is to be de-
parture from the accredited pronun-
citation of the word "hoganizing," and
the application of the term to politl-
cal methods, the "o'' should be given
the sound it has in "who?' and the
word should be understood to signify
the right of the people to determine
who" their candidates for public Of
flee should be.
Very respectfully yours.

This Is No Test at All

We have not all the various questionnares
which Mr.. Thomas A. Edison has been issuing from
time to time as tests of the mental capacity of the
American people. But two of the questions in the
last list SO simple that we believe they afford
test
"a If you held three eghts after the draw in
poker game and the against you you had
never before. went in with pat hand then bet
quarter and you had but SO in the world, what
would you do and why?
In the absence of a Christian up-bringing the
average would dispose of that $40 SO judicously
frighten his antagonist insinuating it into
that the who would bet quarter pat hand
would not know whether his hand was of any value
not. There would of course. be two adverse
chances the one that this adversary was awkWardly
"stringing' him. and the other, accident.
(2) You are salesman. making every effort to
unusually jealous wife. One evening you see
this prospective customer dining in restaurant with
chorus girl What would you do?
We should first consult the laws of that state
relative to backmail and future course would
be determined by the result of our researches Then
we should either pesent request for the order in
the form of more or less imperous demand or else
we should open the negotiations with a casual re-
mark that on certain evening had dined at
certain hour at certain restaurant and had been
amazed and panied at what had observed there
We should say that the foregoing are moral
rather than intellectual tests

Braley Da3ly Poem
INSPIRATIONS
RY BERTON BRALEY

The poet said Il will make song,
To stir the souls Of the surging throng
To thrill each heart
With its magic art.
Tiu the world shall chant my name!'
And the song he made was splendid thing
With mighty sweep and glorious swing,
But the World said, Yes.
1t is fine we guess
Say how was the baseball game
But the poet didn't especially care
For he had met with maiden fair,
And he wrote, one day,
Just simple lay
TO say that he held her dear;
And the World said, Gee, that s pretty tnlhg
With joyous lt and tender ring!
And that song was sung
Ry the old and young
And it echoed around the sphere!

garded as a unique move in educa-
tional activities-has been announced

he has been visiting hospitals volun-
tarily weekly and telling the child in
mates stories.
His efforts met with such success
that hospital authorities prevailed
upon the educational department to
appoint Thompson to carry on his
work permanently.

Supreme Court Voids Tax Levy On
Child Labor.

By practically unanimous decision the
Supreme Court of the United States held un'
constitutional the Child Labor law imposing
a 10 per cent tax upon the net earnings
of persons or corporations that employ
child labor in factory, workshop. mine
quarry or mill.
With only Mr.. Justice Clarke Dissenting
the Court held, in an opionion rendered by
Chief Justice Taft. that Federal legislation
was subversive of State sovereignty and
that the tax was plainly not levied fol
revenue purposes. but to prohibit employ
ment of children.
The Court says that it has gone far to
sustain the taxing power Of coordinate
branch of the Government, but it cannot
approve the principle Of the prohibitive
tax on child labor, although the end sought
to be attained may be for the general good
II Congress is given such unbridled
power of taxation, the decision says in
effect, Congress could assume control Of
any subject belonging to State jurisdiction
and regulate II by so-called tax.
ITO give such magic to the word tax
says the decision. would be to break down
all constitutional limitations Of the power
Of Congress and completely wipe out the
sovereignty Of the States"
The decision Of the highest court
practically precludes further attempts by
Congress to regulate child labor and leaves
such legislation with the States.
Two child labor laws have now been de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, and. incidentally. each was appealed
from the Western district Of North Carolina
Several years ago the original Child
Labor law. barring from interstate com.
merce the products Of factories and other
institutions employing child labor. was de-
clared unconstitutional. Judge James E
Boyd. of the Western district of North
Carolina hsld that law invalid and the
highest court sustained him.
To meet that decision Congress then en-
acted law imposing heavy tax on the
profits of employers Of children under ID
years Of age or children between the age
of IA and 16 who were worked more thar
eight hours per day or assigned to night
, work in factories or mills.
Judge Boyd also held that law uncon-
stitutional. and again he is sustained on
the appeal by J. W. Bailey. Collector Of
Internal Revenue for North Carolina. in
the case Of Bailey against the Drexel
Furniture Company. Bailey had attempted
collection of $6.3l2.79 tax from this CON-
pany employing children.
