Mr.. Massey was Civil war vet

five years ago he was stricken with

a second stroke and on Oct 13,
1924, he was rendered entirely
helpless. Yet he never complained
or murmured, but always said he
still had much to be thankful for.
Since the death of his wife IA
years ago, his daughter Mary had
been his constant companion, low

INVESTIGATING PRIMARIES

The biennial primaries are bringing
the usual crop of stories of the lavish
expenditure of money by candidates
in the various States, and there is
now on another senatorial investiga-
ton in which doubtless some politics
will be played and the entire primary
system will get another good airing.
In the meantime, the sentiment is
said to be growing at Washington
that the primary scheme ought to be
abolished as useless and expensive
bit of machinery whose principal pos
tive accomplishment has been the
production of factionlism and charges
of corruption.
Those who favor return to the old
representative convention system say
that the primary has not as a general
thing brought better men to office,
but, on the other hand, has discourage
ed many able men from running. In
its direct appeal to the people and the
opportunity in many states for the
success of minority candidates, it has
encouraged demagoguery and the
Snowman" type of politician, who
counts on getting by in the primary
by the spectacular, rather than thru
any merit or ability to hold the office
to which he aspires.
That this sentiment for abolishing
or modifying the primary is not con-
fined to Washington, but is spreading
thru the States, is indicated by the
example of Indiana where the Repub-
llcan and Democratic State conven-
lions both have gone on record for
the adjustment of the Statewide pri-
mary

FARM COSTS AND STAN
DARDS.

There is no doubt that American
farmers in general are having a hard
time. But there is a good deal of mis-
understanding about the situation,
even among the farmers themselves.
1t is not that they make less money
than they used to, but that they are
obliged to spend more.
Crops and prices, on the whole, ap-
pear to compare well enough with the
average of the past decade or two,
excepting the actual war years, when
prices scared beyond reasonable lin
its. But costs of production and costs
of living are higher now. 1t costs
more to run the farm, because labor
and machinery and materials are high
er. Operating expenses are the big
trouble, and the abnormal thing. Then
there is a similar difficulty, as Roger
Babson points out, in the personal
side of farming.
The farmers wife and children
willtnot, themselves, work as they did
before the war. They require better
homes, more conveniences, newer
clothes, and many other things about
which they knew nothing before"
In short, the farmers difficulty
seems to be about half economic pres
sure in the form of higher business
expenses and about half personal and
family pressure in the form of higher
standards Of living. For neither of
which is the farmer at all to blame.
Certainly city folks should be the
last to find fault with him for trying
to lend new comfort and dignity to
farm life. But there remains the baf-
fling question, how is he going to be
able to afford, along with his rural
freedom, the comforts, conveniences
and advantages that cit yfolks think
they have sort of divine right to?
Either he must get more for what
he sells, or pay less for what he buys,
or both. And that, next to prohibition
possibly is the biggest political prob
lem in this country today.
