get rid of the primary and in Indiana
both political parties have declared
against the system in their state plat
forms.
There are many objections to the
primary Among these is the one
that it is a necessarily expensive
system. 1t has placed a haidicap on
the poor man who desires to run for
office and given him the choice of re-
naming out of the race or binding
himself to some wealthy interest or
constituent in order to get the funds
for a campaign. The primary has so
increased the number of elections that
many people have lost interest and
now refuse to vote at all.
But the greatest objection of all is
that the primary violates the system
of representative government design
ed by the Constitution. 1t has substi-
tuted pure democracy for representa-
tive government and the change has
not worked well. Every time, we, as
Americans, have legislated in way to
take US further from the Constitution
and its fundamental principles, we
have suffered. The primary Affords
US an eloquent proof of this fact The
sensible thing to do is to get rid of it.

A DISTRIBUTED REFORM

Now that the primaries of the cam
paign of 1926 are thing of the past
and a general survey can be made of
the situation, one fact stands out very
clearly, and that is that the primary
has outlived its day of usefulness, if
it ever had any. This years primaries
have proved again that the system is
expensive and that it will not bring
out the voters in anything like suffi-
cient numbers to make good the the
DRY of majority rule. From every
state comes the same story-that a
comparative handful of voters, mi
nority and in many cases small mi
.nority, have selected the candidates to
be voted on at the November election.
There is some evidence, too, that
in many Of the states the voters have
decided that it is about time to get
rid of this cumbersome system.
Ohio in the coming election will hold
a referendum on the subject, and it is
expected that the primary laws will
be materially changed, as result. In
New Jersey an effort is being made to

THE SCHOOLHOUSE FLAG

The sight of the United States flag
floating to the breeze makes a patri-
otto appeal to every American. Such
an appeal is more impressive when
the flag is sufficiently large, is in good
repair and is properly mounted on a
staff. 1t is particularly appropriate
this year, which marks the sesqui-
centennial anniversary of the birth Of
the Nation, for "Old Glory" to float
above every public school in the land.
The statutes of more than three
fourths Of the States require the dis
play of the United States flag on or
near every public school building.
Thousands of schools throughout the
land take great delight in carefully
performing this duty; some schools
are somewhat careless in this respect.
A deputy superintendent of Nevada
says in his annual report that he often
finds, as he visits the schools, the flag
rope broken, or the flag pole inacces-
slple, because o1 us LOCATION OH Top OIL
the building, or the school without a
flag. 1t is not uncommon to find in
other States, especially in the rural
districts, conditions similar to those
described. School officers, teachers,
and pupils, should know the laws Of
their respective States regarding the
display of the flag and should coop
crate in their enforcement.
