DEFENDS PRIMARY.
Governor Baxter Attacks Advocates
of Repeal of Law.

Of Repeal of Law.
Governor Baxter on Saturday came
TO the defense of the primary law,
issuing a statement commenting on
the movement started in the State to
repeal the law He feels confident
the movement will come to naught,
for the women of Maine realize that
their influence in man-controlled
conventions would be negligible
The statement in full follows:
"Our direct primary is under fire
and a determined attack is being
made upon it. Certain groups of po-
litical leaders find their power has
waned These men no longer can
control nominations, which in Maine
usually mean elections, and conse-
quently they now seek to restore the
old order of things. In the years
gone by, a few men with political
influence dominated the machines of
both parties. Candidates too often
were selected for reasons other than
their fitness for office and plans
were made years in advance to retain
control of public affairs.
II recognize that there are some
tives are above reproach and who
honestly believe in the convention
system. The views of such persons
are entitled to respectful considera-
ton, and though differing from
them, | accord them sincerity of pur-
pose and recognize their fine public
spirit
Under the direct primary the peo-
pie have come into their own. Party
manipulators are in the discard, and
citizens now may seek office by APP
pealing to those whom they would
serve, rather than, as formerly, by
coming under obligation to powerful
groups. The primary is not perfect,
but its faults are far less glazing
than those of the old-time conven-
tion-bosA system.
mo stream can rise higher than its
source, and the people are the source
of all power Once they realize this
and take an intelligent interest in
party affairs, our problems are well
on toward solution. The primary
stimulates this interest, and the re-
cent contest disclosed it. Although
there were certain irregularities in
connection with 1t, they were trlf1lng
as compared with those of some OF
our old-time conventions.
at is interesting to speculate as
to what would have happened in re-
cent years had the primary not been
in existence Most observers would
admit that both Governor Milliken
and Governor elect Brewster are its
product and that neither would have
been nominated under the conven-
ton system.
LAS for myself, coming into office
through an act of Providence, l
never was obliged to face guber-
material primary except as governor
with my official record to support
me- Speaking for others than my
self, the high quality of our chief
executives certainly has not been
lowered by reason of the primary,
and the people have nominated and
elected the officials they wanted.
That is the test of popular govern
ment.
There is no more reason for dele
eating the power to nominate than
| there is for delegating the power to
elect. In Maine, nomination and

election are really synonymous. Will

election are really synonymous. Will
anyone dare advocate giving to dele
gates the power to elect a governor?
And yet in reality that is what the
opponents to the primary are seek
ing to do. A few men want to pick
and choose governors from the back
room in the Augusta House.
THE primary was won only after
a determined fight on the part of
those who believed in the right of
the people to control their own af-
fairs, and this right is not to be taken
from them The present agitation
will come to naught. The women of
Maine realize that their influence in
man-controlled conventions would
be negligible, and they are too keen
ly and intelligently interested in the
States welfare to allow themselves
to be relegated to an inferior posi-
ton.
'In my opinion it would be as UNI
reasonable to curtail the right of
universal suffrage as to revert to the
discarded and Objectionable conven-
tions of the past l predict that the
people of Maine will rise in their
might and overwhelm those who
would deprive them of their power
to directly control both primaries
and elections. The time has not,
and never will come, when Maine
people will delegate to anyone their
right to choose who will be their
party candidates in the primaries
and for whom they shall vote at cleo
tons"

Cordial and unrestrained co-Opera-
ton with school officers and teachers
is essential to the highest success of
parent-teacher association. Even
more, without that cooperation the
association is likely to produce dis
cord and, consequently, actual harm
to the schools whose interests they
are designed to promote.
In order to help parent-teacher as
sociations to inform themselves be-
fore they begin campaign in any
phase of school betterment, the
United States Bureau of Education
has planned series of "home educa-
ton letters" to be issued monthly
for the use of these organizations.

FIGHTING PESTS.
Parasites Become Large Factor in
Insect Control.

Insect Control.
A Well-lnown scientist once eX-
pressed the opinion that were it not
for the tendency of insects to prey
upon each other. thus holding down
their numbers, life on this globe
would be made impossible for the
vertebrates, including man. Ento-
mologists have been taking advan-
! tage of this warfare to help in keep
ing down the numbers of certain in
| sect enemies of crops. introducing
| parasites from various parts of the
| world In number of instances
| very injurious insect pests have been
| in a great measure controlled by
these introduced parasites.
The alfalfa weevil has caused great
| damage to this crop in certain
regions and continues to spread, but
an imported parasite is now spread
| ing at about the same rate and is
keeping the damage within bounds in
| certain places. This parasite was
introduced into Colorado in 1918 and
into Nevada in 1921, and is known
to have become well established in
these states.
great damage in New England, and
adjoining states since its introduce
ton, is being fought with various
means, but parasites introduced from
Europe are said to have become a
considerable factor in this control
work. In the generally infested ter
ritory inspectors report that the
pest is less abundant than for many
years, and entomologiSts of the de-
paltment believe the parasites de-
serve most of the credit, particularly
in the wooded areas in the country
districts.
In the last few years scientists
have spent much time in Japan
searching for parasites of the Japa-
nese beetle, now bad pest in sec
lions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Delaware, and some of these
have been found to survive in this
region where they are now increas-
ing Not only are insect parasites be-
ing used but also fungous and
bacterial diseases of the pest which
have been found in the beetles native
habitat.
From southern Europe the de-
partment has been introducing para
sites of the European corn borer, an
insect which has now spread from
the East to the eastern edge OF the
Corn Belt One of these parasites
has been found hardy enough to en-
dure two New England winters. one
of them unusually severe, and is
thought to have become firmly estab-
lished During the summer just past
colonies of it were started in western
New York and in Ohio. The depart
ment has established an insect-para-
site laboratory at Hyeres, France,
where additional parasites are con-
stantly being found and studied.
