votes! And runner has it that the
xxx. has pledged $4,000 votes to
one Of the candidates. Are we to in
fer from this that members of the
Khan are going to get to the polls
without fail while most of the rest
Of the voters remain at home?
II this be found correct then here
the Khan surely has something to its
credit. We are badly In need of
stinlulant to arouse our sense of re-
sponsibility in this matter of going
to the polls. Someone has suggest
ed that making negligent voters first
in being required for jury service
might help, but jurors get some rec
ompense in the way Of information
and day pay. We venture the guess
that such a threat wouldn't suffice
Let the xxx. be public spirited and
tell US how to go about getting all
the voters to the polls.

Editorial Comment
Convinced by Observation
public Ledger

public Ledger
Vice President Dawes is convinced
that the direct primary system is
wrong and must be changed. His
conviction is shared by millions of
his fellow citizens. They have OBJ
served what he has observed. They
have seen candidates named by
minorities in primaries and elected
by minorities. They see irresponsible
men named by voters who cannot be
held responsible. With all this they
have seen the swift decay of party
responsibility. General Dawes calls
attention to the fact that in cities
the ballot is often so long that no
voter knows much about the char
acter. ability or opinions of many of
the candidates. In such circum-
stances it is easy for the politicians
to control the result. An organized
minority finds it easy to win. Some
of the fullgrown fruits oh the
primary are seen in the candidate
who writes his own platform, the
otficeseeker who sees himself as big
ger than his own party and in the
utter lack of party responsibility
which tiourishes in blocs and minor
ity legislative groups.

REGARDING PANAcEAs

Most, If they but give the matter
a thought, are aware that palatable
panaceas are much more popular
than daily dozens and strict diets.
Is 1t an i'll OF the flesh, then we
would take magic pill compounded
from a mysterious herb; we would
not bother to restrain appetite and
cultivate wisdom respecting our
physical needs. Is It an Ill in the
body polite. then we would elect
some political witch doctors whose
lamentations should drive out the
evil spirits.
A cure-all is 50 much easier than
doing for ones self; that Is. II
would be were there any cure-alls.
These, If they exist, surely are not
easily discovered. and il we think
we have found an instance Of cure in
one individual and try to apply the
remedy to all other individuals we
learn the truth underlying the say
ing that what is one persons meat is
anotfer's poison.
And cure-alls for business are. IN
this illusionary aspect, like unto
those for humans, 1t would seem.
The President Of The Sherman Cor
poration, Engineers, arrives at such
a conclusion. He declares that "the
panacea, type Of solution OF business
and economic problems is no solu-
ton" Some get the idea that en-
pioye stock ownership Is a panacea,
but his experience shows II is not,
though helpful IN many cases. And
the like may be said of cooperative
endeavor and Of other excellent ad-
tustments. which are not and never
will be cure-alls.
He cites an instance, which indi-
