CAN'T THE PRIMARY
WE AIIH in receipt of ti letter from Portland, iirKiiif; uh to
mippoi't another effort to seeure a repeal of the Primary
law, and .replace it .with a modified form of the old "convent ion
system.
The writer stresses the fact that the recent Primary has torn
tlifc' Uepnldicun party asunder, nominated a minority candidate,
and aroused so much bitterness and dissension that a united
party in November is impossible.
1 This is all true eiioujih. The Primary does raise Ned with
party organization, and renders satisfactory novernment by
parties practically impossible. It lias also failed to improve
the quality of candidates for juiblie office, and rrently increased
their expenses.
Nevertheless, every effort in the past to repeal the Primary
has failed; and we anticipate a similar result in the immediate
future.
I.VSTKAD of attempting the repeal of the Primary, we believe
a better program would' be to. retain it, but supplement it
with the adoption of a party convent icu system.
bet both parlies hold conventions and select their candidates,
then let the jnembcrs of each party at. the Primary endorse those
tickets, or repudiate them; voting either for the convention se
lections, or any independents, that may have entered the Pri
mary, subsequent to the convention action.
Some such plan, it. seems to us, would retain the advantages
of both the convention anil primary systems, and tend to'elimi
nate both their dangers and disadvantages.
Willi such n program, any return to' thu "boss" system would;
be impossible; and at the same finin, the advantages of more
intelligent selection, aiid real party responsibility, would lie re
tained. , ,
X7''' DON'T agree with those 'who maintain there is somc-
thing Hiicroscaiit about (lie direct primary,' Hint, because
it was adopted as tile result of a political revolt, a quarter of a
century ago, no attempt should be made to improve it, or render
it. more efficient or responsive to
What we all want is belter government, which cluelly de
pends upon better men in public office. The direct primary
wns designed primarily to destroy the boss-ridden convention,
system. 'That has been done, litit. with the destruction of the
boss-ridden convention system, went certain obvious advan
tages, which a properly constituted party convention possesses.
Why Wit try to 'utilize 1 lie advantages of both systems? Cer
tainly in the present state of the body politic we need all the
mechanical aids to good government that human ingenuity can
devise. !
' PARDON 'OUR
ATtlv somewhat embarrassed by the reaction to our re-
' ecbt qtlery, "Are 'Mail-Tribune editorials top wide?"
Apparently this. query, was generally, construed ns an effort
to get a few bouquets thrown in oiir direction.
,,, We appreciate thu compliments for this column that have
come In by letter, phone, mid word of month, such evidences
of good will are highly gratifying. ,,
Hut honestly this was not our purpose. Kditor Callvert of
the pregoiiinii, iit n state press conference,' maintained' the two-
column 10-point lino of our editorials wlis too -wide, tired the
e.ve,' and if shortened, would provide a much more effective
medium, ,
t The suggestion was a new one to us. We could think of no
better way of testing the matter than to ask the opinions of our
reiitl'ers. ',...
Thus far there have been but two replies dealing with the
matter of typographical construction. The first suggested a
thrcc-culumu layout, w.ith lines of a column and one-half width;
the second favored the present makeup.
Terhaps the matter is too technical too exclusively n news
palter concern to interest many people. . We have about tie
eided the best method will be to change the typographical ar
rangement, for a few days, and see what the reaction is if any.
No doubt in this, as in oilier tilings, Don tjuixote's dietuin
holds gorttl: "The proof of the pudding is theV eating."

A medical friend tells me I am
doinK myself and my work a great
Injustice by harping on the moot
question of "low
ered resistance."
He, of course,
does not agree
ua call It the
Barracuda a n d
other pseudo
KcientistH on this
question; but why
go to the oppo
site extreme.
thus still more fogging the issue?
My friend fears I forget at times
that I have a great responsibil
ity, inasmuch as I address the,
medically speaking, unlearned and
unstable, so why furnish them
something that they may wrest
to their own destruction? This j
question of what 'general condl-1
tlons may conduce to local infec- j
tlon is a big one with many ram- i
Jfications; consequently pooh-j
poohing one phase of tho question.!
Is not constructive, and my friend j
knows I 'wish to he constructive '
and healthful, hence lie beseeches
nie to pipe down on that linti.
My friend's criticism recalls the
answer a distinguished teacher of
therapeutics made to my conten
tion that his textbook a stand
ard in medical colleges was in
consistent in tench I ng that alco
hol Is' depressant to nervous sys
tem nnd circulation yet retaining
the antiquated notion that it Is
a good emergency remedy In
shock, fainting, snakebite and the
like. The professor" replied that
It was conceivable that alcohol
acts as a stimulant upon ' other
functions of which we knew, ns
yw, very little, ns for example tho
ability of the body to resist Infection.

To the Kditor: , !
Innsylvanla. in your editorial
in; U'ednesdjv's Mail Tribune, is
described ns overwelmlngly wet! If
your proof of that is the Digest's
"shnm battle," then it affords an
interesting commentary on the ac
curacy of unofficial referenda.
In Tuesday's primary. Brown
for governor nnd Secretary of
Labor .lames Davis for senator,
had the suppoi-t of Varelsm on a
platform or referendum on the wet
and dry Issue. If later reports con
firm the nomination of Gifford
Pinchot on a plntform of strict en
forcement, that does not appenr so
very wet. Jimmy Davis has a large
popular following and could no
doubt have won oyer (Irundy, the
hitter's first political campaign, on
nny issue.
Phillips, wealthy oil man arid
former congressman, apparently
polled fewer votes on this attempt
for gubernatorial honors on a wet
platform than he did four years
ago. The present governor. Fisher
Uncompromisingly dry, received
the largest vote ever given a governor-elect
In the Keystone state.
"Overwhelmingly wet" is an ap
pellation fitly describing oniy such
states as Connecticut. Rhode
Island nnd others which failed to
ratify, or Inter repealed their con
current legislation, ns New York,
Wisconsin, Illinois. No serious at
tempt toward this end has been
made in Pennsylvania.
The sophistry of the alluring
appeal of "national referendum"
on prohibition lies In the fact that
although the constitution itself
provides a mean by which its
provisions ' may be changed, the
wets, unnble to affect a change,
wnnt to change the Constitution
itself. :
Fortunnloly. in a government by
states, Oregon has as much power
as the largest states. Conversely,
on a basis of national referendum,
which once established, would ap
ply to any and all national ques
tions. New York would have many
times ihe influence of the smaller
states. J. I, s., 11, F. D. 4.

t;he imp
By MaryGraham Bonner
"We're going to see '-nil Imp to
night," said the Utile .Black- Clock.
"That's1 fine,? shid iloliD:-: He felt
' : he 'wodid-' like to
see an Imp very
m u c h indeed.
Sometimes h I s
daddy called, him
an imp. and Peg
gy was pleased,
too,' for -sometimes
he called
her an imp.
They thought
they Would Hko
to see nn imp,
very much.
"I've t uir n e d
the time back n "
f e w hundred
ve'ars or so." the
Little niack Clock snid.
; "A mere nothing," laughed John.
' The children didn't quite see why
the Little Black Clock had to turn
the ; time back to see an Imp. Per
haps there were better imps in
those days. Yes, the children
thought, that was probably the rea
son why the Little' Black Clock
was turning the time back.
But as the scene changed nnd the
children waited they did not see
anyone or anything looking like an
imp.
They turned and looked at the
Little Black Clock.
He looked as though lie were
trying to- keep from laughing. Kvl
dently he could see the imp com
ing from a distance.
But no one appeared. What could
the Little Black Clock mean?
Now he was laughing very hard.
"You must forgive me.'.'' he snid.
"if sometimes I, too, like to play
a little Joke. That tiny shoot from
the big. tree, yes, the little one, is
jthe imp. In. the olden days the '
days to which I've now turned the
time that wns what anyone
mean when they said IMP."
