Primary Election Law
Needs Amending.

Our primary election law was
framed to check the power of bosses.
1t has done this. 1t has also intro
duced unlocked for evils.
With the passing of the boss the
primary has not brought about better
officials The boss generally saw that
his man was somewhere near capable
Like as not, under the present sys-
tenn, the successful candidate is the
best hand shaker and story teller. AS
far as good government is concerned
we are as far off as ever. And we
have substituted for the rule of the
boss that of an uniformed and fire.
uuently careless democracy.
The Wisconsin law is particularly
bad. A voter is given ballots OF all
parties. He passes into the private
booth. He may be democrat, a re-
publican, a socialist or a prohibition
list. Regardless of his party he is
able to Jump and unless he is a repub-
lican dominant parity he frequently
does lump. The shameless voting out
side their party has been so common
among the democrats that they are
| left today with no party at all. The
primary is to blame.
Some states do better. They re-
quire a voter to register his party af-
filiation as he calls for his ballot. He
must either prostitute his political af-
fliation by changing parties or re
main in his own party. If he is at all
sincere he stays in his party and votes
in that primary. The result is fair
test of what the party voters want in
the way of candidates.
There are numerous inaccuracies
and inconsistencies in the Wisconsin
law and one might go on for hours
dwelling on them. But the four-bal-
lot-to-each-voter proposition is the
worst feature of all 1t must be
changed.

Lancaster Ought to
Be Ashamed OF Itself.

We ought to be ashamed of our
selves. The past couple of weeks has
witnessed one of the worst exhibit
tions of petty politics and mud-sling-
ing we ever saw. 1t has disgraced
and Inundated everybody in Lancas-
ter
The two candidates for mayor, both
worthy men, have been assailed and
villified. We are not going to repeat
the disgraceful and lying stories told.
Partisanship of the worst sort has
been exhibited by men who forget
that the important local issue is not
personality but good government.
How we are to get good government
by throwing mud doesn't occur to the
partiSanS.
This should stop. Future elections
should by all means be based upon
issues and not upon personalities. We
could form two tickets, one cOnserya-
tive and one liberal One ticket could
stand for reduction Of taxes and a
conservative administration. The
other ticket could stand for public
improvements and general civic
growth Then let the voter cast his
ballot according to his type of mind.
And let the elected candidate carry
out his platform pledge.
Under the present method we doubt
if a single worthy, respectable citizen
will ever again consent to have his
name mentioned for mayor. Unless
we use more intelligence and less
peanut politics in city elections we
will end up with no government at all.
And it will serve us right.

Wisconsin Stingy
With LEGISLATORS.

Now that the tumult and shouting
has died away and the amendment to
increase the pay of assemblymen and
state senators is probably defeated,
it may be noted that Wisconsin pays
it's legislators the least of any state
in the union The sessions here are
the longest and the pay is the small
lest. The last session lasted 1874 days
and members received $500, or $2.72
a day-less than the little pages rum
ming errandS.
And while other states pay legisla-
tors for special sessions we pay them
nothing. Regular and special session
salaries in other states are:
Illinois, $500 session; Arizona,
81 a day; Delaware, $40 a day;
Pennsylvania, $4,000 a session and
$500 special session; Michigan, $500
a session and SIS day special session;
Mississippi, $1,000 a session and $40 a
day special session.
1t means no more to the writer than
anyone else that our state is the
"tight-wad' of them all when it comes
to being niggardly with its legisla-
tors. We never expect to go there.
But we wonder if low pay and freak
legislation go together?

ZIHLMAN ENDORSED BY
HIS PARTY MANAGERS
Allegany County Republicans
Out For Present Congress
man for denomination

Congressman Frederick N. Zihlman
of the Sixth Maryland District, was
unanimously endorsed for re-nomina-
ton and reelection at meeting Of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee for Allegany county at Re
publican headquarters in Cumberland
last Thursday night. Mr.. Charles n.
Wilkinson chairman Of the committee,
presided at the meeting.
The opinion expressed by the mem
bers was that Congressman Zihlman
has made an excellent representative
and therefore the duty Of the party
was clear.
It was pointed out that while Mr..
Zihlman has opposition in his own
party, due largely it is claimed from
dissatisfaction over political appoint
ments he faced such condition two
years ago when he was reelected and
as now certain elements of labor were
against him for his vote on the Esch-
Cummins bill.

Garrett county has no State sup
ported institutions such as normal
schools, colleges, hospitals and the
like calling for State aid, but on the
contrary Garrett countians go along
year after year contributing burden
some taxes to the State Treasury
along with funds derived from other
sources. During the past few years
hundreds of acres of land in the coun-
ty have been given to the State for
timber and forestation reservations
with the result that these lands are
now nOn-taXable for county purposes
and thus considerable revenue for
county purposes is lost. These lands
serve their purposes, however, and
Garrett countians as a rule do not OPP
pose the State in taking them over
The members of the General As
sembly from this county have been
made acquainted with the status of
affairs and have been asked to use
their influence in defeating the pro-
posed reduction in the school fund
derived from the State and thus pre-
vent an abnormal increase in the tax
rate of the county which will surely
result should the Governors budget
as introduced in the Legislature be
adopted.

sion will turn their attention to dec
Grafton of the interior and terracing

For School Children

Health Training in Schools" by
Teresa Dansdill, a valuable book on
definite methods of teaching health
full living is being put into the librar-
les of great numbers of Garrett cOun-
ty schools. The National Tuberculos-
is Association publishes this book at
the low price of seventy-fve cents.
For the purchase of each copy for a
library in a Garrett county school the
Garrett counay tuberculosis Asso-
citation, with christmas seaP' money,
contributes twenty-five cents, the
County School Board contributes an
other twenty-five cents, so that any
school can obtain copy on payment
of only twenty-five cents.
Already, by this arrangement, six
ty copies of this book have been
placed in Garrett county school rooms
and sixty additional copies have been
ordered by the School Board,
Soon no school, it is hoped, will be
without copy of Health Training

corning health that every teacher
should teach. 1t concerns exercise
and posture, cleanliness, clothing, nu-
triton, bad effects of the use of cof-
fee, tea and narcotics, and the good
effects of the use of milk, the causes
of colds and tuberculosis, necessity
Of fresh air. sunshine and ventilation.

care of teeth, eyes and ears and ways
of avoiding accidents.
Very definite plans for every grade

arouse interest in health. Many
stories, games, exercises, drills, po-
ems and quotations are given that will
increase the child's health knowledge
and make him eager "to live right
for health's sake"

SEES DIFFERENTIATION
OF ALL KINDS OF GAME
Hagerstown Writer Sounds d
Timely Warning

D. Webster Groh, of Hagerstown,
Md, writes The Globe, one of the
newspapers of that city, as follows
Our rapidly increasing population,
with modern breech-loading, rapid
fire, repeating guns. displacing the
tardy old muzzle leaders, and narrow
transparent wire fences supplanting
the old grass-groWn, game-protecting
rail worm-fences, hedges, thickets and
cedared woodlands that formerly
sheltered them, their nests and young
from hawks, crows, hunters, bad
weather, etc, are rapidly eXtelminat-
ing ell our game.
So, to better protect them, the open
hunting season, for all kinds. should
not exceed thirty days, beginning on
November 25th, when the farmers
(who feed and protect them ell the
year,, are doEe their pressing work
and have time to hunt and increase
their interest in preserving game.
The present daily bag-limit should
be cut in half, and the seasons limit
to five times that, to bar oilers, loaf
ers and professional hunters.
As wages are now thrice former
rates, and a dollar buys only one
third as much as formerly, residents
hunting licenses should be $500, non
resident $500 and hunting dogs (that
often trespass where their owners
dare not go, besides rowing and kill
ing much game and its young out of
season. should be licensed $1,000 each
and always wear large-numbered IL
cense collars, with $4,000 penalty for
hunting out of season.
AS smoking hunters, used to bare
streets, often thoughtlessly cast away
burning matches, cigarettes, cigars,
etc, thus causing many disastrous
fires, smoking or even carrying
matches while hunting, should be very
heavily penalized
AS none but responsible people
should be allowed to rove the fields,
woods and highways, heavily armed
with deadly guns, suddenly shooting,
often indiscriminately, at whatever
game jumps up, a reasonable indem-
nifty bond and age limit would secure
this. In view eff their frequetly shoot
ing poultry, live stock and even peo-
pie, it seems fully as necessary as
workingman's compensation insur-
ance.
Our urgent necessity of importing
so much seed-game to restoclz our
county, doubtless indicates even much
stronger game protective measures
than above outlined.
