Cunning for the Primary Law.

AS forecasted in The American
last week, the primary law received
the attention of the politicians as
sembled at Bangor and Augusta last
week, and both republicans and
democrats inserted in their plat
forms a plank in favor of repeal of
the primary law. The republicans
declare that the law has been tried
and found not satisfactory Not
satisfactory to whom? The poll
ticians and ice-holders-the poll
ticians, because their power as dlcta-
tors has been taken from them the
pffiee-holders, because it costs lit
tie more to get into office.
We Cc.-,0t quite see why the
democrats object. for democratic
nominations n Maine are not in as
big demand as republican nomina-
tions. and usually tho State and
comfy COM nittee5 have to scurry
around to find candidates. Here and
there, howeN er, there is a democratic
contest in a primary, and OF course,
while it gals a man to have to spend
money to get public office, 1t gals
him more to spend it and not get the
office.
No further justification of the
primary law is needed than the re-
cent special in this congressiona
district. Is there any one in the
know" of politics who thinks that
John e. Nelson would have had a
ghost of a show for the nomination
under the old convention system?
Blaine S. Viles of Augusta had been
"in training" for the job for years,
and among the politicians was rec
ognized as the man who would sue
coed Congressman Peters when he
got through.
But the people had something to
say about it, and, with no reflection
OH the ability or fitness of Mr..
Viles, they chose Mr.. Nelson But
that was political heresy-almost
sacrilege. The 'divine right of
kings" had been violated. And so
the politicians said this thing must
be stopped the people have too
much to say nowadays about who
shall govern them. We must fool
them into voting this power away
from themselves. But will they?
We doubt it.

SCHOOL FAIR.

Superintendent II. e. Henry will
give the people of Ellsworth some
thing novel here in the shape OF an
exhibition of work being done in the
schools of Ellsworth, in addition to
other features making OF 1t a school

letter addressed to the teachers ana

Henry says:
| am aiming to make this event
grand success, and am asking your CO.
operation in all that pertains to the
enterprise propose to have booth
for each school, and for this purpose
intend to put up the framework. leav-
ing the teacher and pupils to supply
he decorations and arrange their own
display. e.
The display itself may consist of
ANYTHING that you wish to exhibit.
Among these l suggest short stories,
drawings, color work, maps, history

painting.
We shall also appreciate 1T very
much if any person having historical
relics or antiques, natural curiositles'
etc, will loan them to us for the oc-
casion, being careful to label them so
that they may be returned. We also
solicit contributions in the way OF
fruit. candy. ice-cream toys or fancy
articles, vegetables, and, in fact any
tbine. to increase the exhibit or place
on sale. Cooked food is especially de-
sired
We shall charge an admission to all
Corners the proceeds to be added TO the
new high school fund, and we hope TO
secure enough to pay Tor the hish
school lot There will be many
special features to add to the interest
of the occasion and program Will pc
given by the grade schools ana
another by the high school.
It is hard to estimate the benefit to
the school children of bringing them
together where they may see each
others work, aside from the feeling
that they have been Instrumental in
helping to build a high school building
which they may all attend and in
which thew may all feel a just pride.
Among the special attractions will
he an art gallery and an animal show
well worth the. price of admission
plenty of attractions.
We trust that each teacher VIII teel
personally responsible for the success
of the fair, and that every man and
woman in Ellsworth and surrounding
country will show their appreciation
of our efforts by aiding their children
to be present. by personally attending
the fair and by lending their time and
means to this good cause. We shall
also be pleased If the places OF pusl-
ness and the picture-house may be

The high school program will con-
sst of junior speaking contest and
we are looking for some enterprising
citizen to come out and offer two cash
prizes, one for the prize speaker
among the boys and one among the
girls.
Please bear in mind that April 10 is
a legal holiday, and no one will be ex-
pected to attend school. The school
fair will be an appropriate manner in
which to celebrate Patriots day. Be
real patriot, and give us your sup
port.
