Thu Capital Juurnal's exposition appears in another column. It's worth rcad'ni;. But in our opinion it's conclusions are mistaken, just as the conclusions of the Oretfoniuli regarding the , primary are mis taken. liuth papers point to t!ie near-victory of the Ku Klux Klan as evi dence that a return to the old convention system would mean bet ter government, rather than worse. - Te can't see it. The direct primary has its imperfections, Heaven knows, but boss rule is not one of them. The K. K. K. spasm, instead of demonstrating the weakness of the primary system, demonstrates; in our judgment, its strength. Under the old convention system, the Republican party today, in an iiKcunoou, wouiu ne niisoiutely "Jut ivlnxeil." Jlow can anyone "picstion this, when the present condition of the stale legislature is considered. .Now a state legislature is very like a state convention. Its mem bers are named from various districts throughout the state, it is a comparatively small 'body of representative, average men, gathered together for political purposes. The people of Oregon will not control the next legislature, the next legislature will be controlled by Oregon's (irniul Kxalted Cy clops, or whatever the proper Invisible title may be. And the re result would have been precisely the same if what we call a legisla ture had been a political convention. A skillful propogiindist, or a clever manipulator can control and bamboozle a few men, two or three hundred, gathered together in a hall, or a few in a precinct,, but he can't control two or three bun dred thousand people in the' great outdoors. The recent election em pliatk-Vdy demonstrated this. Oleott, without making a campaign, without a record that bad in any way aroused popular enthusiasm, with the opposition united and his own support divided nevertheless won the nomination by a com fortable plurality, simply because the people of the state as a whole, refusvd to be buncoed, refused to bo Ktampeded'into delivering their government over to an Invisible Empire, and emphatically declared they would run their own affairs in their own way. In a convention the people would have had little or nothing what ever to say about it; little more thaii they will have to say about the doings of the next legislature. . And here liesJhe strength of the direct primary, it isn't effic ient, lint it does keep control where it belongs in the lunula of the people. The people may make mistakes, but if so, they can soim correct them. As long as the primary exists, invisible nominees for high office are not impossible, but arc far less likely than under the easily manipulated convention' system. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW?

Call-Post). Tho last stlviw. , mgRhumQs Walt Mason 5 THE DOVE OF PEACE. Oil, THE dove is shot to pieces, and it wobbles "as it' flies, with its plumage all in creases and red pepper in its eyes; every day it's sorely jolted, and it looks about half moulted, and the olive branch it's bolted, and it sickens and it dies.- For the nations lust for slaughter as tiny used to long ago; ah, poor dove! the caplans swat her, hoping that the blood will flow; once again' the sabre rattles and ihe hag of warfare tattles tales of sieges and of battles, armies oozing to and fro. There's a crisis every morning, and a threat of fire and sword; nil the lessons men are scorning that late bloody days afford; every fifteen cent com mander hopes to be an Alexander, and the dove looke like a gan der that's been batted with a board. All the foreign states are busted, welching on their wartime debts; few if any would be trusted for a pair of eigarets; yet their talk is all of drill-spilling snindys are their highest bets. And the cuts of old Kil kenny feel themselves a false alarm; ntul the dove's not worth a penny, where it once was worth a farm; and the bughouse na tions wrangle with an everlasting jangle, threatening to kill and mangle and to work all kinds of harm. "Fool's Paradise" Makes Hit A paradise on eartli that is, happi ness is largely a state of mind, ac cording to Conrad Nagel, who plays the too) In Cecil B. de Mllle's produc tion, "Fool's Paradise," which begins its second day at -the Rialto theatre today. r When Arthur Phelps, characterized by Nagel, leaves the service and comes from' France to Texas, lit is madly in love with a French dancer. And he believes the realization of that love will bring him eternal happiness. When It conies to .pass that he blinded by an explosive cigar and a Mexican enntina girl takes advantage of his affliction and marries Phelps allowing him to believe, by noble mas qucrade that he is realizing the love of Rosa Duchene, the dancer. ' llut when the veil of blindness is lifted from his eyes he discovers the deception. His calm and happy state of mind changes to raging, despair and moroseness. So, still seeking the bluebird of Du chene's affections, Phelps journeys to Slam where he lives through an other fool's paradise in the belief that he baB won his Idol's love. Eventually he has it forced on him that her love is not even so deep as her beauty. Dis illusioned he returns to the Mexican border to his divorced Moxican wife. Life with her brings him the happiness which previously had been his only in a fool's paradise.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H, Allen, of Rochester, N. y., suffered for years with -rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and una bio to work. ' He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accu mulated hnpurlties, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consult ed physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheuma tism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called . Allendru, to others who took it, with what might be called 1 marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let suf ferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. Ho has therefor Instructed druggists everywhere, to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that If the first pint bottle doe not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment. .
