" ' The Primary Bill Space forbids citation of the list of antiquated Indiana laws pertaining to the administration of city, cpupty and state government. Cpndi? tions have changed radically the last half century, but the remodeling of the system of administering the affairs of cities, counties and the state to conform with modern conditions has been slow Jn the extreme and has been a fruitful cause for popular discontent. The thousands of Indiana citizens who are anxious for the modernization of governmental systems on a sane, conservative and practical basis are now offered the spectacle of the dominating Democratic machine in the legislature violently opposing a law which would permit the voters of the state to directly nominate all elective officers on every party ticket, called the state-wide primary bill. This MS!, designed to give the people of Indiana more control oyer their own government, is opposed by the Democratic machine for that very reason. It is a bill which the Democratic platform pledges shall be enacted into a Jaw and it is a principal which the titular head of that party, President Wilson, has repeatedly and em

phatically indorsed. There is no excuse for the opposition against it, but the fact remains that the chances for its adoption are exceedingly siim "'S!". .y J i I . I !" ' A Meritorious Measure There is another measure pending in the legislature which merits the indorsement of every citizen of the state, a hill which if it becomes a law will dp away with pur wholly inadequate method of the safeguarding of the public health, it would replace that law which makes the office of county health officer a side-line perquisite for the physician possessing the strongest pull with the political powers-rthat-be. The only objection to the bill is that it is not broad enough. It should provide that health officers of at least first, second and third class cities, as well as county health officers, should receive adequate salaries, and require them to devote their time exclusively to the discharge of the duties of their Offices, put if this is too broad, a step for our ultra reactionary lawmakers to take at one time, then by aU mean? let them adopt the bill as now drafted. "The bill is based on common sense, "is the way the Crawfordsville Journal puts it. "Therer fore it is to be hoped that the lawmakers will take the time to give it proper consideration. A doctor cannot very well practice medicine and look after the public health without a certain extent at least neglecting one or both. It is not fair to ask a doctor to give up his practice for the salary now offered. Neither can he be exfected to give the most vigorous enforcement of he health laws which will almost inevitably bring about antagonisms and which alienate his own patients and reduce his own business. Sanitation and disease prevention have become a pror fession somewhat apart from the practice of medicine and the proposed bilj recognizes this fact. Conserving the public health is a specialty and competent men should be encouraged to give it their whole attention rather than carry it as a side line."

Americans Develop Mature Literature

By Edgar Iliff

Richmond Writer Answers Crfties Who Sneered at Country's Literary Efforts.

There was a time -when we of the United States were under the hottest fire of British criticism. Qur English visitors looked us over and then went home and made) fun of us. They ridiculed our manners, our literature and our political institutions. Mrs. Trollope, Harriet Martineau, Dickens, Captain Marry at and a host of others trade game of us. In some ways we were guilty. In the period of 1818 to J 841 we were slavish imitators of forign manners and literature. We aped end were thereby apes. A suit of clothes, a knlfc, a piece of cloth or a hook was no food unless It was English or French. And from those whom we imitated we got nothing but scoldings as if we were awkward children who could no nothing to please a faultfinding parent. Fail To Get Spirit. The books of our foreign critics, from Fearon and Hamilton Snow to our latest censor, Ostrogorskl, a Slav with French trimmings, would make a library la themselves. They are very Interesting, but not a single writer, not even Bryce In his "American Commonwealth," catches the elusive, native-born American "instinct which works socially, economically and polk cally to create and perpetuate our institutions." We know our basic wants. We create them. How it is done no foreigner understands. And while many of these foreign books are ably written they all annoy us because they assume the attitude of St. Paul toward his Corinthian converts when he told them that they were neither well-bred nor intellectual. The fighting Paul used the big stick and set aside some of the undesirable citizens of Corinth, but our British critics condemned us all en bloc; and where Paul told his converts that they should manifest the glory of God, our critics wrote that "every bit of progress in America must reflect the glory of England and every page of American history can be nothing but a mere supplement to English history." And so we fell to thinking in those degenerate days that all genuine woolen cloth must come from Lancaster, all steel from Sheffield, all pottery from Stoke-on-Trent, all literature from London, and all scholars from Oxford. Critics Prove Severe. Our critics looked us over again and asked, "Where are your scholars?" One of them wrote that we had not a single scholar and that American business men were ashamed of learning and believed that a literary reputation would be a disgrace and injurious to trade. "What can we expect," asks Mr. Hamilton, in his "Men and Manners in America," "from raisers of corn and tobacco and hewers of wood and retail dealers in pans, pots and kettles? They can never hope to attain to any wnokledge or literary refinement." Up to that time America had honored herself with many scholars, but the English tone was still that of Pitt, Karl of Chatam, toward Ben Franklin when he refused to talk personally with this greatest American and sent word by a servant that "Franklin was no doubt nevertheless a very respectable man." Franklin was then at the zanitlTof his political, scientific and literary renown and had written an autobiography ranking with three of the truly great autobiographies of the world Benvenuto Cellini, Rousseau, and Lord Herbert of Cherbury. No wonder Washington Irving said that the English were surprised to see an .American with a quill-pen in his hand,

for they thought quills grew on our beads. The British sneer, "whoever reads an American book" turned the brain of many shallow Americans, just as Carlyle's sneer, "how can a government last where the vote of Judas Iscarjot is as good as that of Jesus Christ" started the Mugwump party. Under cuch asinine influences our schools became the temples of Pharisees. We twisted the British lion's tail on the Fourth of July but our school readers utterly ignored American writers and gave to children Addison, Steele, Johnson, Goldsmith, Milton, Bunyan, Defoe and other British authors. The subsequent influence of William Holmes McGuffey upon American school children, and upon American culture generally, can never be fully estimated or appreciated. His "eclectic series" of "McGuffey's Readers" was the first distinct and authoritative recognition of American literature and the children of the common people eame to know and love Franklin, Patrick Henry, Hawthorne, Bryant, Emerson, Holmes, Lowell, Irv?ng, Cooper, Poe and a host of American writers so far snubbed as crude and lacking in Addisonian style. The genuine appreciation of good literature that lies so deep in the common American heart today owes its origin to these "McGuffey's American Readers," and not to the colleges and universities whose professors were imported without a cent of tariff duty on them. For many years it was common to meet professors and students who could tell you all about Apuleius, Heliodorus, Longus and Tatius but who

had never read an American novel. I met such in Quebec one summer who quoted Anatole France and Prosper Merimee but who had never read the "Scarlet Letter," the greatest piece of Imaginative literature ever written. Scoffs at Industries. Mr. Hamilton, in his "Men and Manners in America," written in 1832, sneers at the "American System," which was the beginning of a protective tariff for our industries. The laying of such a tariff at that time threw him into convulsions and he prophesied that such a law would break up the American Union. In a chapter of fifteen pages he attempts to show the utter futility of Americans trying to become the rivals of Manchester and Birmingham "by a protective tariff that is only a tax on the American people." So we see that after all the Democratic party did not originate the idea that "the tariff is a tax." That idea was imported from England duty free. It still prevails. "The Americans," said Hamilton,

"seem determined to have a prosperity of their own making in spite of natural laws and the stars in their .courses.'? He couldn't see how we Americans could ever give up English cloth, English steel, English books, English cob-horses, English clothes and English manners and not be 6truck dead by an English God' But Americans, despite all this, formed the largest reading public for Walter Scott, George Eliot, Dickens and Thackery. Today such English novelists as Arnold Bennett, J. W. Locke, G. A. Birmingham. Thomas Hardy, Hall Caine, H. G. Wells, Kipr ling, Jack London, etc., have their largest clientage in America. Americans took up Herbert Spencer before the English did. Henry Ward Beecher read Darwin's "Descent of Man" and preached a sermon endorsing "Evolution" while the average Englishman was wondering if Darwin could be saved from eternal torment. Only the other day an American jiving in Lon don wrote that literature ended with George Eliot's "Mlddlemarch," that nothing was doing since, and that no American writer had yet produced a book worth reading. He pught to be pilloried and placarded, "Pity the bknd" Write American Books, We have a distinct American literature, more distinct since Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Brete Harte, W. b. HbweJIs and Margaret Deland set the pace. This literature is the life-blood stream of our nation. We may have had no Elizabethan age, or Georgian or Victorian period, but our steady onward stream is great in its potentialities. The sons of some rich American families, whose wealth represents a "special providence" in the "divine ordering of the universe," may affect Guy de Maupassant or D'Annunizo and sneer at all that is healthy and healthful in American literature, but they count for little in a free republic where all the avenues of learning and culture are open to the poorest and humblest of American youth of both sexes. "We here tamed the savage continent," says our greatest historian, Francis Parkman, in his sublime story of Montcalm and Wolfe. "We have peopled the solitude, gathered wealth untold, waxed potent, imposing, redoutable; and now it remains for us

to prove, if we can, that the rule of

the masses is consistent with the highest growth of the individual; that democracy can give the world a civilization as mature and pregnant, ideas as energetic and vitalizing, and types of manhood as lofty and strong as any of the systems which we boast to have supplanted."
