SIEGFRIED'S SWORD IN BERLIN
Weapon Had Long Been in German
Capital, Though the Hero Was
Really Belgian.

The theft Of the sword from the
statue of Siegfried in Berlin raises
the question. What has Berlin to do
with Siegfrieds sword or with Sieg-
fried himself? That hero was no
Prussian. but rather a Belgian-at
any rate, Northumberland it was
a Burgundian princess that he mar
ried. In his day the Borussans were
an obscure tribe and scarcely heard of
In Burgundy and along the Rhine.
Moreover the difference in char
acter makes il. ,hopelessly incongruous
for the Prussians of today to exploit
Siegfried as one of their national he
roeS, Hagen of Tronje would be more
fit. chosen at the moment when he
treacherously murders Siegfried, when
he steals Kriemhildes fortune or when
he brutaIly Stays the infant Ortlieb.
But Siegfried was honorable, Sieg
fried was brave. Siegfried was chival
ric, Siegfried was not HohenZOllern.
To exploit Siegfried and his Bail
mung as emblematic of Prussia, OF in
deed of the Germany of today, is
gross impertinence perhaps. 1t is well
that the sword Is gone The statue
itself should follow it into retirement
from place where it does not belong

OBITUARY.
MRS. JOSEPH BOUMEAR.

MR0. JOOLE II DOOM Ian.
The sudden death Of Mrs. Joseph
Boumear this forenoon was shock
to her friends and the community.
Though Mrs. Boumear had not been
in the best of health for some time,
she had seemed better than usual
lately She died while sitting in her
chair, sewing. Mr.. Boumear, who
left her but moment before, re-
turned two or three minutes later,
and found she had died.
Mrs. Boumear was the youngest
daughter in the large family. of the
late John and Mary Mitchell of Ded-
ham, among whom were the late
William and John Mitchell, long
residents of Ellsworth. She was
born in Dedham, about seventy-seven
years ago, and came to Ellsworth
after her marriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Boumear were a most congenial and
devoted couple, and the separation
after long life together is severe
blow to the husband, who has the
sympathy of all. One child, a daugh-
ter, died in infancy. Mrs. Boumear
leaves one sister, Mrs. Aurilla James
of Ellsworth.
Mrs. Boumear was a woman of fine
principles, generous-hearted, and a
kind and obliging neighbor. She
will be missed in the community in
which she lived.

The Direct Primary.

The American is, decidedly, not
alone in it's fight to save the direct
primary. Ex-senator Albert j. Bev-
erage OF Indiana, who has just de-
feated Senator New in the Indiana
primaries for nomination for United
States senator, in recent speech
said:
The direct nominating primary
must be saved, because through the
primary, and only through the pri-
mary. women can make practical use
Of their votes. Under the direct nom
mating primary women can go to the
polls and help nominate party candi-
dates exactly as they afterwards go
to the polls on election days. and help
elect public officials. Under the con-
'yention systems this is practically i'm
possible. Women are, in effect, dis
franchised there, because under the
convention system, they have no part
in nominating candidates, Under the
convention system party candidates
are, for the mast part, named by pro-
fessinual party manipulators, meeting
sim secret and operating through their
convention agents.
This is one reason-perhaps the
main reason-that professional men,
politicians, and certain interests that
work through such politicians, and
can work only through such politi-
clans, are striving to overthrow the
direct nominating primary wherever it
exists. Such men and interests care
little who vote at elections, provided
hau a candidates
whom citizens must either vote or re-
frain from voting at all,
mo concerted effort was made to
demolsh it until all women were
given the ballot by constitutional
amendment. Almost Immediately
after that epochal advance in human
rights, the plot was framed against the
direct nominating primary-a general
plot covering the whole nation, and
bills were introduced in various state
legislatures to abolish the direct NOM
mating primary and restore the old
convention system.
THE direct nominating primary
must be saved, because it is the best
method yet devised by which citizens
ean prevent party corruption. Under
the direct nominating primary the
party voter holds the whip hand oven
the party organizations; without the
direct nominating primary the organi.
ration holds the whip hand over the
party voter.
THE direct nominating primary
must be saved, because it strengthens
and unifies political parties and, in the
present stage of the development OF
free institutions, political parties arr
necessary to the conduct of popular
representative government.
The direct nominating primary pro
duces public officials who are more re
sponsive to the people who nomipat
and elect them than are produced b.
conventions run by professional poll
ticians.
THE primary must be saved, becaus
