tenn. It is true, as one speaker re-
marked, that the old convention
system gave them representatives
like William Pitt Fessenden, Vice
President Hannibal Hamlin, Speak
er James 6. Blaine, afterwards
senator and secretary Of state !;
Speaker Thomas 6. Reed, Repre-
sentative Nelson Dougley, Senator
William P. Frye and Senator Eu-
gene Hale, all men of weight in the
councils Of the nation. The pri-
mary system has given them no
men of such commanding influence.
The state Of Maine has compare
lively little weight in congress
these days. The big men are gone
and the primary system has pro-
duced none to take their places
Perhaps Maine is degenerating and
has no men like these to send to
congress, but that is not the view
Of the republican state convention.
Their idea is that they have just
as good material in the party, but
such men can not be induced to
come out and make contest with
inferior men in a primary election
to secure a nomination that under
the convention system was thrust
on them without their solicitation
because their party wanted their
services and drafted them.
It is not in Maine alone that the
same experience has been had and
the same sentiments prevail. Nor
is this sentiment confined to the
republican party. In Montana we
have heard scores Of leading repub-
licans and democrats give voice to
the same sentiments and bewail the
general lowering Of the standards
of morals and intelligence in candi-
dates for office. We believe our
selves that the general average of
intelligence and ability possessed
by men holding high office has been
lowered by the primay system of
nominations. Very often
the best candidate for high office
Is not the man who is most anxious
to secure the office and the man
to spend money and effort
involved in primary campaign to
get the nomination. Such man
often felt complirnented in the old
convention days when he was
selected by a convention of the
leading men Of his political party
as the most desirable candidate to
make the race, and would accept
the nomination which came to him
unsolicited when he would by no
means have consented to make a |
all over the state to
secure the nomination. Several at
tempts have been made in recent
in this state to amend
the state primary law, but while
t may be slightly improved, we
EEL sure that it is still a detri-
mental influence in the state. I
Besides it is a most costly lux

 Turn to History
 For New Thrills

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-Did Columbus wear beard when he landed at San Salvador or had he merely forgotten to shave in the excitement of the last days of the journey?
 And did the thrilling episode of Captain John Smith and the dusky Pocahontas spring from the romantic imagination of bachelor adventurer? Was it, after all, only bit of fiction created by the doughty Captain John because he thought there wasn't enough sex interest in his journal? Or was it because he labored under a sup pressed romantic complex?
 Over these and hundred similar problems, the professors of the history department of Yale University have wrinkled their brows as they labored to attain historical accuracy in series of moving pictures which will tell the story of America from the landing of Columbus to the present day.
 These moving pictures, the first of which, Columbus" has just been completed. are being produced by the Chronicles of America Picture Corpor- ation. The president of the corpora tion is George Parmly Day, treasurer of Yale University, and president of Yale University Press. The editors in-chief are pr. Max Farrand, profes- sor of American History at Yale, and pr. Frank Ellsworth Spaulding, head of the department of education Forty-one plays of 100 reels will pre- sent the drama of Americas develop ment in terms of flesh and blood char acters on the silver screen.
 To bring about exact recreation of the characters, the greatest research is necessary. In the matter of Colum- bus beard conflicting records were l found. One of these tells of native chief approaching Columbus and | touching the explorers beard. But other accounts present Columbus as smooth-shsven and the theory was ad- vanced that Columbus had not shaved l for few days
 l The historians decided that Colum- 1 bus should be shown throughout as ! smooth-shaven except when he ap- pears as an old man.
 Captain John Smith did not stand we'll among the historians. His rec ords were filled with inaccuracies and at times with untruths. But the story ] of Pohacontas was too good to kill ! and the professors. like careful city l editors, inserted movie it is report ed" expression-by having one Of the characters recount the captains ad- venture, the screen disclosing the | narration

BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIEF

Being a woman humorist, Dorothy Parker, dramatic critic for Ainslee's Magazine, and free lancer for the Sat urday Evening Post, Life and others, specializes in last words.
 Miss Parker wouldn't specialize in words at all, she says. were it not for the bowling of the wolf immediately outside the door of her little office in the New York Metropolitan Opera House. The building, however, is giv~ en over considerably to vocal studios so it may not be the wolf that is driv- ing Miss Parker to industry.
 So far as her verse is concerned her methods, she admits, have a certain kinship to those of that clever chap you met when you were just out of high school who wrote you one time from Peoria that he had momentous question to ask. He mooned on about this question for nine pages until you got all thrilled and were dead certain it was a proposal. At the top of page 10 he came right out with it and want ed to know if you thought it was time to change his winter underwear.
 Miss Parker's system is to work up to a high pitch of emotion or even

 How Humorists Get That Way

tears with what would be good poetry anyway and then destroy it all with g devastating last line.
 Everything I've ever written looks wretched to me-" she says, but here is one I dislike rather less than the rest:
 SONG IN A MINOR KEY There's a place I know where the
 birds swing low.
 And wayward vines go roaming. Where the lilacs nod and a marble
 god
 Shines pale in scented gloaming. And at sunset there comes a lady fair
 Whose eyes are deep with yearning. By an old, old gate does the lady wait
 Her own true loves returning But the days sweep by. and the lilacs
 die,
 And the trembling birds seek cover: Yet the lady stands, with cool white
 hands.
 Outstretched to greet her lover. And it's there she'll stay till one
 shadowy day,
 monument they'll grave her. She will always wait by that same
 old gate
 The gate her true love gave her.
 "I don't know whether I'm really humorist or not" she maintains. but I am, you can put it down that it's nothing but pure unalloyed blood cuCatipp don't mind tho OOptry SO much-it's a regular jigsaw puzzle and as an infant took great satisfaction in tid1ledy-winks and pigs-in-poke.
