DIRECT PRIMARY NOT A CURE-ALL

Now that the Democrats have been
elected to power and will have an oppor-
tunity of demonstrating their admlnistra-
tive capacity, they will doubtless give to
the people direct primary law, to which
they are pledged and we have no doubt
that before Governor elect Hinkle's term
expires he will have signed such meas
ure.
Let it not be assumed that the direct
primary law will put an end to all our
political troubles or that it will make
right everything that is now wrong or
that it will operate automatically. 1t
will not. The same force which operated
to make the convention system at times
ineffective in that it usually represented
an interested minority instead of the
voters, may destroy the direct primary.
As many grafters, job-hunters and self
seeking individuals will be found under
a direct primary system as under any
other
The remedy for the shortcomings of
our present system is to be found not
in the particular form which we may
adopt, but the extent to which people
apply themselves to the performance Of
their civic duties.
We must not forget that the so-called
bosses had way of selecting men who
were peculiarly fitted for political serv-
ice. If there was any reason why man
was not qualified for office they knew
it. If there was any factor which was
calculated to initiate against his candi-
dacy he was removed from any further
consideration. The same methods were
employed by both parties. The result
was usually that no matter which party
succeeded we had nothing to fear in the
outcome.
Perhaps the greatest impediment to
the efficacy Of the direct primary in New
Mexico will be the very large proportion
Of illiteracy which prevails among the
voters. Until this defect is removed no
election law will prove entirely satisfac-
tory and until this subject is given serious
consideration, not alone by our legisla-
tors, but by the people as a whole, no
appreciabe improvement need be looked
for.
And the new administration will have
to weigh this factor in formulating a
direct primary law.

TODAY'S BEST TrIHOUGElT
THE SONG oF THE uPPER.PECos RIVER

/ gather the daughters OF mountain waters,
And lead them towards the sea.
And lovingly crown, as l go down
Ny home with many tree
l nurse the trout, as 1 splash and spout
Through canyons narrow and deep,
And raise many flowers, in willowy bowers
And sing them nightly to sleep.
On peaceful days, my wonted way is
TO leisurely roll along.
My murmur and babbling, my PLAYFUL dabbiing
Give harmony to my song.
But roar aloud, If a bursting cloud
Does swell me TO a flood
Then I'm giant, bold and defiant,
And furiously wallow in mud.
Still delight in my robe Of white,
In my garment crystal pure;
And though man dreams, Of lovelier streams
My fame shall yet endure.

Put to Death for Having

Dublin, Nov. "a (by the Assoc

chief lieutenant Of Eamonn de VI

He was executed at Z o'CloC
this morning for having had an au
tomato pistol in his possession,
is annnouced in an official bulleth
given out by the national army.
The brief army report states tina
Childers was tried by a militar

authority. of an automatic pisto
when apprehended by nationa
forces, November 10, at Aunamo,
house, county Wicklow. The ac,
cused, the report added, was founo
guilty and sentenced to death ano
the finding and sentence being
duly confirmed, the execution was
carried out.
While the method of execution
was not officially described, it is
believed 1t was by shooting.
The fate of Childers has been
hanging in the balance for seVera !
days, while court actions We're
fought over his military trial, but
with the adverse finding by the
master of the rolls yesterday on
application for a delay of Judgment
the feeling that seemed to prevail
in Dublin last night was that Child
ers would be executed
This belief is thought likely to
have inspired heavy attacks made
on national army posts in Dublin
last night. All the attacks were
abortive.
