niul (ii'ori' Lion Put mini apparently brlievu the recent election dem
onstrated the. futility of the direct primary, mid have decided (o lie
down together on thin point, if no other.
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.

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. . Adv. 2
