Wisconsin and
Her Primary—
Why is there no Democratic
party in Wisconsin?
A few years ago the Demo
cratic party of the State became
literally and legally extinct with
out votes enough to qualify for
a place on the primary ballot. It
ij a little better now, but when
a major national party is beaten
20 to 1, and falls behind even
the Socialists, it is no longer a
significant factor.
Any primary law has some
tendency to minimize the mi
nority party. But the Wiscon
sin primary law greatly magni
fies the tendency.
Because, under it, the voter of
any party may vote secretly in
the primary of the other party,
there is a natural stampede into
the primary where the chief
contest is.
The result is that the minority
party ceases to exist, and the
majority party ceases to be a
party.
¥ ¥ ¥
Mussolini and
Jefferson—
The daring Mussolini has cast
to the winds another cardinal
principal of democratic govern
ment.
Local councils in all towns
under 5000 will be replaced with
a commissioner appointed by
royal decree —which in Italy
means Mussolini’s decree.
Mussolini’s aim seems to be
to build up a strong centralized
government, which supervises
the police powers in the smaller
towns. Early in the history of
this republic, Thomas Jefferson
fought with all his power against
such an idea-
Later history has proved that
in general he was right. It is
doubtful if Mussolini can yet
prove Jefferson was wrong.

Sacrificing Weight
For Speed—
You can not have the utmost
possible of one thing without
sacrificing something else.
That is the reason why the
steamship Lexington, the new
airplane carrier of the navy, is
the swiftest big ship, armed or
unarmed, afloat. The Lexing
ton was started as a big cruiser,
and then, under the Washington
conference agreement, trans
formed into a plane carrier.
As such, it does not have to
be heavily armored, nor to carry
heavy guns and emplacements.
The extra weight can go into
engines and driving power.
The Lexington does not light
with guns, and car. run away
from vessels that do fight with
them, or can be defended by
other such vessels.
* * *
A Disappointed
Reporter—
A Washington newspaper re
lates how Dr. Jason Noble
Pierce, pastor of President Cool
idge’s church, told his congrega
tion that building inspectors had
declared parts of the church un
safe.
The reporter then goes on to
say:
“If the pastor’s remarks
aroused any apprehension in the
president's party it was not dis
cernible, Neither the chief ex
ecutive nor Mrs. Coclidge was
outwardly moved."
We suppose the reporter ex
pected Mr. Coolidge to hop right
up and say :
“Come on, Grace, let’s get out
of here before the church falls
down.”
We can’t imagine President
Coolidge becoming excited over
anything—not even if the roof
did fall.

The Alien
Was Right—
An applicant for naturaliza
tion at Grand Rapids, Mich-,
was rejected because in answer
to question as to the duties of
the vice president, he replied:
’’The vice president? Why,
he don’t do nothing.”
Apparently the late Tom Mar
shall couldn't have been vice
president if he had had to pass
a naturalization examination.

Gasoline
Dividends —
“Cash dividends paid by the
Standard Oil group for the third
quarter of this year established
a new high record for third-quar
ter disbursements.’’’ says the
New York Times-
The total for the third quar
ter this year was $34,899,348.
It’s not out of order to suggest
that some government agency
find out whether the Standard
group wouldn’t be able to make
several million dollars a month
if the price of gasoline were cut
five cents a gallon.

The Thrill of the
Crowd—
The thrill of a huge crowd!
It was thrill that caused ancient
Romans to build their big colis
eum and to jam it full of people
for every public event.
The world today is far less
barbarous than the Romans, but
there’s hardly an American who
doesn’t get a thrill out of a big
crowd assembled for some big
sporting event.
The real thrill one gets out of
watching the world series base
ball games is not in the play,
which often is ordinary, but in
the crowd itself.
There’s nothing else in the
world quite like the real howl of
cheers, shouts and general joy
that comes from the crowd when
a hit scores the winning run for
the home team in the last of the
ninth.
Few persons would walk a
block to see a world series if he
were the lone spectator. The
poorest show you ever saw was
when the house was almost emp
ty. It's the crowd.

(From The Times Recorder. Oct.

Judge John A. Cobb returned last
night to Americus after an extend
ed and successful trip into several
counties beyond Flint river where,
with the representatives of the state,
departments of agriculture and en
tomology, they made several ad
dresses bearing upon the boll weevil
invasion of south Georgia, and the
means to be employed in fighting
this destructive pest.
Genial Frank Hooper , upon
whoes board shoulders the weight

today in his dear old baliwick here.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(From the Times-Recorder, Oct. 15,
1905.)
Miss Nettie Hays and Mary Mc-
Neill left yesterday for Atlana,
where they will spend some time.
While there was a gain of four or
five points in value yesterday, spot
cotton sold around the same figures
as the day before. The ruling price
was 9 1-4 cents, although fancy
bales brought a quarter beter Re
ceipts at Americus warehouse were
533 bales, making yesterday the
final big day of the cotton season.

“Thou shalt not” is the language
of the Decalogue.
Repress the impulses of the flesh,
of greed and of sloth.
“Thou shalt” is language of
Christ.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
hyself.
Whatsover ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so un
to them.
Devote the impulse of self to the
equal good of others.
“Thou mayest” is the language of
i the Neo-Freudianism, which seems
to be taking the place of Chrisian
ethics. Express yourself, especially
in the things that have always been
repressed.
Freedom consists not merely in
exemption from the rule of others,
but in exercising no ’control over
yourself. Seek “experience,” espe
-1 daily forbiden experience.
I Repress nothing; express every
thing. And flout as “old fogy”
those who would revive the inhibi
tions, the prohibitions, the tabus.
.“Thou shalt not” is out of date.
It will wear out, of course, as
ieverything does that is false, but
a whole generation will pay the
price. And the wages of sin have
I not changed.
MOVIES MADE

( would still be no other course open

so long as they do.

Whatever you’re doing; whate’er you’re about, you’ll find
that it pays you to always look out. To sluff through the things
that you tackle each day is wrong, though of course it’s the easiest
way.
The little word, careless, means more than you think. To
hardfelt disaster it’s often the link. You pay pretty dearly to
things that are wrong. And things go that way when you blunder
along.
Tehre ne’er was a man who could really find fund in call
ing tasks finished when only half done- And e’en though your
carelessness rides without blame, the fact that you sluff’s on your
mind, just the same.
You may get away with it day after day, but add it all up
and you’ll find it won’t pay. A check on yourself, by yourself,
should be kep’. Shun carelessness always! Keep watching your

not win converts by silence.
If’ on full discussion, they can
not win them by facts and argu

conclude that they were mistaken,
and change their votes, or at least
their obstructive tactics. At any
