SOMEONE SHOULD DO 1T

As might be expected ex-senator
Beveridge speaks eloquently in his
support of the direct primary, as it
now is used; that Is expected of
him; he may be trusted to do at
least that. But what he had to say
nowise changed the facts nor dis
proved the old formula that the
proof Of the pudding is in the eat
ing. People know what the direct
primary is doing If they will but
give the matter thought.
The situation may be fairly COM
pretended by the ordinary person
who is capable Of arriving at SEN
sible conclusions. Are more or
less of the voters in the country
going to the polls under the primary
system? Less. Are there more or
fewer political scandals? More.
Are there more or fewer candidates
Are there more or fewer induces
ments for the person Of ordinary
means to seek office? Fewer. Are
the so-called interests" excluded
under the direct primary? Look at
what they did with Smith, the head
of the public utilities commission
in Illinois.
Furthermore 1t is not necessary to
return to the old conditions If we
have done with the present condi-
lions. though it may fairly be doubt
ed II we are capable of improving
on them much. Public inertia, I'M
willingness to do that which needs
TO be done, were responsible largely
for the iniquities under the old sys-
tenn. These are at the bottom of
our present suffrage difficulties, and
there Is no indication that these are
being improved under the present
system. But It is essential that
suitable candidates should be chos-
en-. If the public will not do this
then the leaders better do it under
such an arrangement that the peo-
pie may do 1t if they choose so to
do.

H. by David Cory

As Jimmy Jay winged his way
across the frozen meadows, he look
ed here and there and every where
for a glimpse of Little Jack Rabbit.
But no bunny boy dressed in a
brown and white fur overcoat was
to be seen. 'Where is that little
rabbit" more than once Jimmy Jay
asked himself. But Of course that
didn't help to find him. But the
pretty blue feathered bird kept up
his search, and by and by, not so
very long nor so very far, he saw
the little rabbit beside the Old Mill
Pond.
"Hello, I've been hunting for you
everywhere" cried Jimmy Jay.
what for?" asked the little rab-
bit, who was sitting close to Mr..
Muskrat's mud cabin which this in
dustrious little fellow had made of
grass sods in the late fall when. the
long, cold nights had warned him of
coming SHOWS and ice-lOcked
streams. Yes, sir, Mr.. Muskrat had
taken great pains in building this
cabin, about half way between his
warm burrow in the bank and the
middle of The stream. 1t was here
that he ate his freshwater clans
and lily roots, which he dug up
from the bottom of the little river
that over-flowed the marshy land on
its way to the Old Mill Pond.
Squirrel Nutcracker was caught
in box trap by, the Farmers Boy"
answered Jimmy Jay, futtering
down from the treetop to sit on the
roof of the little mud cabin.
Dear, Oh dear" sighed the little
rabbit.
Don't sigh" laughed Jimmy jaw.
THE old squirrel is back again in
his nest"
"TIow did he escape?" asked the
little rabbit.
"Old Man Weasel tore off the
leather hinges to the box trap" an
swered Jimmy jay. But before he
could get at Squirrel Nutcracker
the Farmers Boy walked into the
barn, when, of course, the old
weasel hurried away. So did SPUR
rel Nutcracker."
you don't mean it, gasped the
excited little rabbit
Blue Jay. And, what's more,
gave the old weasel good teasing.
Serves him right for trying to catch
poor Squirrel Nutcracker." But he
didn't go on to tell how he tried to
tease Little Screechy Owl. No.
stree. That little owl had turned
the tables on Jimmy Jay. as your
Uncle Dave mentioned in the last
story. No. stree. again. Jimmy
Jay wasn't going to tell tales on
himself. That would never do.
I'm mighty glad Squirrel Nut
cracker is safe at home" said the
little rabbit And / hope that Mr..
Mink and Mr.. Otter won't catch Mr..

KEEPING FIT

Washington undertook no easy
task when he crossed the Delaware
and outwitted the enemy, who was
taking 1t easy, The woman, who
swan the Delaware amid floating
ice this week, had no easy task. All
we already are familiar. that not
able accomplishment is not an easy
task. II it were there would be less
thrill of pleasure for those who
achieve.
Also 1t is quite evident that prep
aration Is needed. Washington and
his troops were toughened to it.
The woman swho swan across was
fitted by training for it. Keeping
fit Is an essential part of success
that is really worth while. And
Notwithstanding all the luxuries to
be had 1t is gratifying to learn that
the American people are resolved
not to be degenerated by them.
There are innumerable helps to
hScP Az, haS WIN SPOi ~ SyLiiluSio
and the like and some OF these are
aiding us to keep morally fit, for
that is even more essential and not
so easy. Keeping fit in character
as well as in physique has not been
overlooked in the Citizens Military
Training camps.
We are reminded of this by the
receipt Of 4 handsomely illustrated
booklet, 1.-THE Call Of the Camps.
From this we learn that since 1921
= quarter Of a million young Amer
leans sought admission, but not all
could be accommodated; that there
IL evidence that within a generation
. remarkable change has come In
our national life through emphasis
on proper diet, exercise and out,
door living; that the records of
these camps show far less sickness
than in the ordinary home or city;
that the restlessness Of youth has
hare been successfully guided: that
they are inspired with the idea Of
useful service. Worth while, In
deed, these training camps undoubt-
edly merit The support Of the Amer
lean people. They are helping to
make US fit for our obligations.

IN THE PHILIPPINES

It Is a safe guess that most Of us
like to think that Americans have
reached a stage of development
where, speaking Of the people as a
whole, it has become unnecessary to
affect gentility and claim superior
ity, or, in other words, to be snobs.
A rather rude awakening from this
conceit is found in an article con-
tributed to the January Nation by
Frances Parkinson Keyes, wife Of
Senator Keyes of New Hampshire.
She writes of establishment to
learn that wives Of U. S. officials,
who have lived for years in the
Philippines have never entered a.
Filipino home.
1.-THE Spainard, with all his faults
as colonist, did not shut his eyes
to the fact that the Philippines were
producing men and women OF
culture, refinement, and intellect, and
mingled with them socially as a
matter Of course. The American
colonist, loudly proclaiming his SUI
periority, refuses to do anything Of
the kind."~
Mrs. Keyes regards this sort of
snobbery neither creditable nor
wise. There will be many, who will
agree with her conclusion.

Kenneth c. M. Stills, president of

AS for an opposition newspaper,
we'd all like to see one, but who will
