INCREASING THE PRIMARY VOTE.
One of the notable features of the primary election contests
just held is that as usual a very large proportion 01 vne 4"'.
voters do not exercise the privilege of voting. 'The number who
neglect this privilege at the elections is far too large. But the
number who fail to vote at the primaries is much greater still,
and suggests how far short the American people come from per
forming their political duties. The voters have been urged and
besought to get out and exercise a privilege that should be so
precious to them. Cut appeals to civic duty have so far failed to
touch great masses of these indifferent voters. The question rises
as to what can be done to wake them up. Perhaps the most ef
f.tivp motive is to show them how much it costs them when the
various public services are conducted in an inefficient and ineffec
TIVA WAV. The man who pays no direct taxes should be shown that
he nav. very heavy ones in various ways. When he pays rent for
hi. hnnso nortion of that rent goes to pay taxes. Also when he
buys supplies, a part of the prices goes to pay the taxes on the
lunula whn nrnHnrfl find distribute the (roods. Also when he works
for a concern, if that business is stifled by nigh taxes, it will re
strict its enterprises, and make his work more irregular. If the
federal, state aiid local governments could be put on a strictly
business basis, the cost of living could bo considerably reduced
The next time a voter refuses to attend a primary election, ask
him why he does not get out 'and vote to have the affairs of the
country run in his own interest, instead tof in the interest of
groups of people who have pulls and special favors.
o
Tho notorious "bobbed hair bandit," who terrorized Brooklyn
shopkeepers, before leaving for Auburn prison wrote a note to
girls who would like to see their names in the papers as hers has
been. She told them that while she was smiling, her heart was
breaking. She has furnished one more case of a girl who had
somo brightness and initiative but who wrecked her own career.
Do any young people imagine that there is anything admirable in
crime? Have they perhaps read stories suggesting that people!
who steal and rob are displaying cleverness and smartness? If so,
let them reflect thut money at comes by crooked means brings
a curse. There is a poisonous taint in it, which turns young peo
ple with bright prospects into yellow outcasts.
Anyway, we appreciate a good sport. VViicn a man meets de
feat at the polls he should always remember "there's a reason"and
be reasonable about tho conclusion reached by the fetters. All
good men connot bo elected to office. That's one reason so mnny
inferior fellows get into tho race and arc sometimes elected.
o
Any candidate running for office who deliberately deceives
tho public in an attempt to gain political prestige is doomed for
defeat. Better play the game straight. And the fellows who spon
sor such candidate's cause arc in a category that adds nothing to
their influence and good citizenship.
o
Tho boat left bright and early this morning for Salt Creek,
carrying a full quota of defeated candidates, some of whom were
so sure of election they failed to secure reservations but were
chucked in tho bungholo for their uncalled for neglect.
o
A millionaire bootlegger gave testimony before the investiga
tion committee at Washington, D. C, yesterday. It don't take
many bottles at the prevailing price of hootch to make a million
aire out of a plain, ordinary individual.
o .
The Strawberry Carnival queen's contest will close thil
evening in a blaze of glory. No matter who is chosen quecu
Koseburg will have one of its fairest beauties to exhibit.
. o .
A man with a dozen wives says he found only one who was
on the level. The insincerity among the other sex must discourage
him.
Cheer up. defeated candidates. If at first you don't succeed
you insy possibly get another swing at a primary election.
