All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved.

The Attack on the Direct Primary The proposed changes in the primary law, which are incorporated in a bill that represents the opinion of Gov. McCray, are an attack on the direct participation of the people in the selection of candidates for public office, and for that reason should be vigorously opposed by the voters of Indiana. " . Much has been said and written about the expenses of the direct primary, but this argument merely clouds the real issue, which,

stripped of all verbiage, amounts to, this shalfi

the people or the politicians select the candi

dates? If the voters keep that point in mind

they will not be deceived by the arguments which the opponents of the direct primary will adduce in support of their contention to vitiate the worth of the law in the interests of an alleged economy. The proposed changes in the law, says a hews . dispatch, provide for the nomination of all congressional and state candidates by conventions; candidates for the United States senate would also be nominated in convention ; county, town or city officials would be nominated either at a direct primary or at a convention, the method of making the nomination being left optional with the county or city committee. Delegates to all

conventions would oe elected at the primary. Professional politicians still clincr to the old

theory that a voter has sense and judgment enough to know how to elect a nominee, but is too ignorant to know how to nominate a candidate. Some of the bosses also believe that the

voters will be glad to relinquish their right to

participate in a nominating primary so that the politicians will have the opportunity to nominate

the candidates of their own choice in a conven tion. One does not have to be an old voter in Indi

ana to remember how long and hard progressive men fought for the introduction of the direct

primary system and with what aggressiveness

and guile politicians in both parties tried to ob

struct the enactment of the legislation. Now, with one swoop, the legislature is asked to repudiate, in theory, the principle of the direct" primary, and to give, in fact, to the old practical politicians the power of hand picking the candidates. " . The argument . has been advanced by opponents of the direct primary, and accepted with finality by many voters, that the direct primary system forces the candidates to make a canvass of the state for the nomination, entailing a heavy financial drain, and that as a result a poorman is hopelessly defeated at the very outset. But the voters forget that under the old convention

system, candidates traveled through the state to

get in touch with the delegates and to enlist their, support. It is alleged, with what degree of truthfulness we know not, that considerable sums of money were spent by candidates in the "old days" of which the public knew nothing, and that it cost as much then as it does today to obtain a nomination. There is something specious about the whole

argument of economy. Why should a candidate be forced to spend thousands of dollars to let the state know who he is and. to proclaim his ability to hold office? The inconsistency of the proposed legislation is apparent in still another important factor. Why should the congressional and state candidates, as well as the candidates for the United States senate, be selected by. a v convention, and the county, town or city officials by a direct primary? If the people are entrusted with the right to choose the candidates for local offices, why not for the state and for the congress ? Supporters of the convention system may reply that the people are intimately acquainted with the candidates for local offices but not with the careers of the men who are seeking elevation to state and national office. The fact, however, is that the men who are seeking state and congressional posts are not as obscure and unknown as the opponents of the direct primary would lead us to believe they are. Let a man announce his candidacy for either of these offices, and the spotlight of publicity is immediately turned upon him, so that within a few days the voters of the congressional district and the state are in possession of the facts. The people of Indiana are confronted with only one issue shall they ' control the nominations, or shall they be relinquished to the practical politician and to the boss ?

Rippling Rhymes

By WALT MASON

I

THE TRAMPS. I spent my quiet days and hours where winter does no winting, where in December gorgeous flowers the countryside are tinting. Here come Hie lads who have the price, to dodge the beastly weather of countries Muck together. Here also come the unwashed tramps; all day I see them drilling; and lots of them are wicked icamps who'd knife you for a shilling. They're passed along from town to town by wise and thoughtful coppers, who do not wish o curry down so many thieves and paupers. They're driven forth from Punktown's gates y stern official orders: that village want? no frowsy skates within Its rioinl borders. They're chivied out of MudviUe streets, the rural cops prevailing;, that hamlet wants no bums and beats its atmosphere inhaling. This is the system that's in force wherever tramps, may wander; and selfish seems such work and coarse to shoo them the.re and yondtr. And so the hoboes ply thejr boots, down all the roads they trickle; and some of them are calloused brutes who'd sheot. you for a nickel. A trail of crime they're laying down, a record that's a beauty;, and when we've f-hooed them from our town we think we've done our duty.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up"

' Someone once asked Lord Northcliffe to what one thing he attributed his success, and he replied that he didn't know, unless it was concentration! When the Allies finally chose one and only one guiding genius to direct all their forces, in the recent great war,-they won. Concentration is greater than talent, "blue bood," "pull," previous conditions of fortune or misfortune, fame, or whatever name you chose to call what you would place above it. Concentration is the essence of genius. It is genius! You can't look out of the window to watch every passing parade if you expect to get your work done. You can't Jump to the tune of every band if you plan to leave your desk clean at the close of your day. Concentration is the twin of toil. Together they walk to fame, power and great command. They bring you your heart's desire. They save you a million regrets. Concentrate. Marshal the forces of your mind and put every single faculty to its task. And after you have failed so many times that you have about lost the sight of your original desire, brush aside your failures and start all over again. Keep waste-basketing non-essentials. Deal in working thoughts. Early determine to master the trivial things then the big things will loom astonishingly fast before your eyes. And before you know it, you will have become a leader and a real doer. - But all along every step you must concentrate, concentrate!

Italian Official Urges Emigration as Necessity (By Associate Press) -ROME, Jan. 19. Professor Ugo Ancons, former Under-Secretary of Transportation, estimates that at least 1,500,000 emigrants must leave Italy within the next two years if the nation is to prosper. He suggests that the govern-

: ment aid emigration by transforming

cargo vessels Into emigrants' ships, be cause the greatest present obstacle to emigration is the lack of transportation facilities. The professor proposes that Italian emigration should be conducted in a new and systematic way. He has advocated a plan of collective emigration to include large and complete units of labor, comprising not only laborers but engineers, experts, managers and, if possible, capitalists, who would all emigrate together to the countries where they are most needed. He points out that If 1,500,000 emigrants were to leave Italy in the next two -years they, would send back home something like $1,000,000,000, which

change value of Italian money. This

value is now so low that it crushes initiative and prevents immediate regeneration of Italian finances.
