The primary election at which the various party tickets are made Is more Important in its influence upon the body politic than Is the general election which occurs later. The primary election is one la which men and their Qualifications and the prin ciples for which they stand dominate the Issue. In the general election later It la simply a matter ot party preference the man has been select ed for you. The average Toter Is apt to overlook the importance of the primary election. Especially is this true of the voter who does not come within the class of the politician.1 For the politician, schooled in the old time convention system, where he dominated and made the ticket, still views the primary as only a gigantic party convention, and he rounds up bis delegates just the same as in days of old If he is not caught In the act. The only way to make the primary effective is (by a full registration-ot voters and a full vote on primary election a ay. every man and wo man la a delegate to this present-day nominating convention, and if all aid in formulating the ticket, It must be representative of the party whose ataadard It supports. But If the ele ment of the party (hat la opposed to the old methods falls to register and participate In the making of the ticket. It will have only Itself to blame If men with axes to grind, rep resentatives of special interests and 'of private grafts, compose the tickets and usurp all the official positions. Then taxes mount higher, efficiency goes out the rear door, and the "dear people" waste their breath in damn lag a condition they have themselves made possible by their neglect of duty but they pay the bills and neg lect their duty again when election time comes. There Is still ample time for all to register If they will . Especially Is the necessity for registration Im pressed upon the newly enfranchised women voters, and they should recog nize the place the primary election occupies In the machinery of Oregon's political system. Their vote there is all-Important. It may mean the dlf- Terence Between an official who Is a real representative of the people or who Is a tool of the Interests. For rest assured the "Interests" are awake and on the Job. The synonym for political preparedness Is regtstra tlon. KID-GLOVE HIGHWAY WORK. There is still trouble in the ranks of the state engineer's office organ ization. Chief Lewis now seeks the discharge of Deputy Highway Engi neer Cantine, maintaining that he seeks the head of his assistant for reasons of economy. Economy Is a word we hear sometimes Just before election, and - some state officials know the real definition of the term. It often covers a multitude of short comings, and candidates for office use It with reckless abandon. If there Is any reorganization of the highway commission that would serve the in terests of economy, let us have It. There is too much "overhead" ex pense and Lot enough of the dollars find their way to the man with the pick and the shovel. Miles of roads are built on paper, b-it by the time the blue print is ready for' the Held man the funds are "exhausted." A late report of the commission notes ' that payment of $199.04 was made from the fund and charged up to Josephine county for certain prelim inary work, all ot the kid-glove type, upon the Pacific highway east ot Grants Pass. A county official Is au- tbity for the statement that the work consisted of four days ot a sub ordinate's time In looking over the four miles of highway. This sub ordinate was said to have been In Grants Pass six days. That is one of the reasons why taxes are high.

The next day the Kenyan tries once more until the hawk gives the sign which he wants. Thus the continuation of the journey de pends on the flight of the birds. Some birds are of greater importance than others, and also to the singing of the birds attention is given. Other animals are also consulted, and the sea Dyaki call every animal a "bird" when they consult It Phonograph Records. Phonograph records are made by the cutting of lines la wax, from which a matrix la then formed for the manu facture of Jhe records for use. Edison found that this matrix could be mads by gold plating the wax Impression and backing up the film of gold with copper. A peclal wax Is used, made of stearin and paraffin, and when tht record Is originally made on the wax It la electrotyped with copper and nickel to give It a hard wearing sur face. The actual records used on the phonographs are made from the ma trix of shellac, wood charcoal, barium sulphate and earth coloring matters; the matrix Is heated and placed In the warm plastic material, where it Is pressed and cooled.
