AKRON, Ohio, July 14.Striking
while the iron of public indignation is
hot, a strong effort is being made in
this state to abandon the direct
primary system of nominating candi-
dates for public office. 1t will be
snecessary to amend the State con-
@stitution before the desired end can be
accepted, but this laborious. task has
s been begun and If the enthusiasm of
@the men directing the campaign
counts for anything at ALL the

the Buckeye State. ~
) 4 The anti-primary movement in Ohio
is unquestionabiy a forerunner of
similar attacks in other sections of the
country. Several other States have
been on the verge Of throwing the
primary into the discard. Ohio Is the
largest State in which the problem
#has been tackled and the result here

eeis in itself an augury of the ultimate
success Of the movement. The chair

facturer: Robert A. Taft, speaker of
the Ohio Assembly; Louis III. Brush,
owner of several Ohio newspapers;
and Harry l.. Davis, former governor
All are Republicans: The Republicans
are especially concerned over the sit

they have seen their party IN the
State torn asunder.
This year there are no less than 2
aspirants in the field for the Republic :

governorship have refused to enter
the scramble. Some Of the aspirants
for Office have nothing hut freak

naturally would become the policy Of
the Republican party
The genesis of the anti-primafy

Chairman Knight outlined the situa-
ton today when he said:
Most of us hailed the primary as
the. end: of the political boss. We saw
the people controlling their own cleo
lions and selecting high-grade OFF,
Gals. What we did not see is that
people i'm general do not careA about
politics. and one kind lof official suits
them about as well az another.
The political boss has found the
primary much to his liking. When the
primary comes around what happens?
The man who has yelled the. loudest
for reforms. for good candidates goes
fishing and forgets to vote. The
political machine marches It's voters
to the polls and names the candidates.
The primary Is d travestv irlaa state
like Ohio, where with 100000 eligible
voters a candidate generally Ii nbnai.

Not one of the iilustrious gentle
men now cluttering up the primary
ticket ever would survive q second
ballot In a State convention, where
the party was responsible for the
candidate selected. But under the
blessed primary mutt or moron
may be selected and no leadership and
no party is responsible for him. The

HOLSTER COMPASS Is
 AID ID NAv|cAT0Rs

In keeping with the established policy of having their vessels equip ped with the latest and most up-to- date devices, thereby enabling them to render service with safety and speed the Alaska Steamship com- pany has recently equipped the steamship Alameda and Alaska with what is known as the Holster radio compass.
 This instrument has thoroly proven itself to be one of the most valuable aids to navigation on the high seas in view of the fact that it affords the one and only means of deter mining the location of danger points to be avoided, and of harbor en- frances, which are entirely obscured by one of the greatest menaces to mariners-fog.
 J. A. Harvie, of the Federal Tele- graph company of San Francisco, who supervised the installation of the compass, is making the round trip aboard the Alameda for the pur- pose of giving instructions in com pass operation by series of tests with various radio compass stations and radio beacons

DICKENS STILL READ

The works of Charles Dickens, says the Publish
ers' Weekly, are widely read than those of
Thackeray, Eliot and Scott put together.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about that bit
of is the apparent fact that those authors
still read. One gets the impression from most current
book and from browsing book that those
four literary lights regarded antiquated and not
worth the time that might be spent Sherwood And
erson Theodore Dresser and the rest of the present
day fashionable ones.
Yet they still have readers. That should inspire
current writer's If their works are as good as Dick
ems Thackerays, Eots and SCOTS, they'll still have
readers, too when they the old-timerS and new
crop of fiction is the rage
