THE BICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND , THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1921.

fTHE RICHMOND PALLADIUM -. AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, Nortlr Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the -Post OUlc at Richmond. Indiana, as ; Second-Class Mail Matter. l- MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the as for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of spectal dispatches herein are also reserved. t Vote at the Primary Election Tho purpose of a primary election is to give ' the people an opportunity to select the candidates I whose names appear on the ballots on election :day. ?; There was a time when the people did not ;have the privilege of participating in a preferential primary. In those days the boss of the :city or county, or a small group of influential

; politicians, selected the candidates for the vari

ous offices and saw to it that they were nomi-

inated. l This power has been taken from the bosses by the primary, which gives the people the right ;to select the nominees of the various parties.

; Since the primary restores to thepeople the fright of nominating, they should go to the polls

:to vote in the city primary. Here is where the treal issue of the election will be settled in this

community. .

: If there are men in the list of candidates who have announced themselves as seeking the nomi'nation who should be defeated by all means, the ; primary election is the place to accomplish it. I ; Let the citizens refrain from going to the .polls on August 23, and they can rest assured that certain interests and groups will induce enough men and women to support their favored candidates to assure the nomination for them. ; The way to stop this is by an active partici'pation of the whole city in the primary. Some pressure has been exerted in certain quarters to advise the women not to go to the

polls on primary day. It has been argued that aj small vote will be sure to defeat some candidates. Every woman who has the welfare of the city!

at heart will disregard this advice. Her duty is

to participate in the primary, indicating through her ballot, her choice of the men seeking the various nominations. Interest in a primary seldom approaches that of an election, but the primary system is not to blame for this condition. The fault lies in our negligence to perform a civic function. The interest in the primary, as indicated in the foregoing, should exceed that of the election, because inefficient and incapable men can be kept off the respective tickets if the voters refuse to support them in the primary. To get a strong list of nominees for the fall election, the voters must go to the polls on August 23. Here is where they have the opportunity of selecting the capable men to represent their party affiliations The apathy in the primary should be replaced with an alert interest that seeks information about the merits of the candidates and their ability to fulfill the offices for which they are seeking the nomination. ' If every citizen will study the list of nominees, make an appraisement of the candidates, discover their strong and weak points, it is a safe conclusion that the city will nominate strong men for the offices. '

The primary is a progressive measure, intended to rob the professional politician of the

chance of selecting the nominees and giving to

every voter the right to register his preference.

, But it loses its potency and becomes a weak measure, if the people, for whose protection the measure was designed, refuse to exercise the power which it places in their hands. The city has much at stake in the forthcoming primary. The administration of its affairs for four years depends in a larger'measure on the type and calibre of men selected on August 23. If the primary results in the nomination of incapable men,: the whole city pays for the selection in poor government and notorious inefficiency.

njoy some of the southern cooking I; lave heard so much about. While; waiting for a train at one of the sta-j lions a boy of ten was calling, "Getta j chicken dinner, 50 cents" he had aj lew bags and I purchased one. Myi mind pictures an Aunt Jemima I

jrcamroy frying chicken to help pay the mortgage on the shack. When I 'opened the bag I beheld a much-worn neck of a chicken, biscuits the kind mother never made, and a stale piece of cake of vivid color. I fed the biscuits to the chickens, and the chicken I gave to the dog, who immediately xan with it to the boy. I figured he , was in on the scheme, and wondered how many times that same piece of chicken had been given him. The lesson to this story is if you want to enjoy southern cooking remain north.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

CONCEIT A SHROUD A barrel of whisky collapsed on the floor of a Chicago liquor emporium and leaked down into the cellar. - A little mouse ventured out of its hole, sniffed, took a 6lp, ran back to Its hole, thought It over and came back for more. After a while the little mouse ran up the stairs to the first floor; ran all the way up to the second floor; ran up to the third floor and to the fourth floor, till it got to the roof of the building. There is walked up to the edge, and standing up straight on its hind legs, with its whiskers and hair bristling fiercely, cried out above the housetops to all the world : "Now bring on your cat!" Along came a cat, and something hit the pavement. Conceit frequently does to a man what whisky did to a mouse. - Conceit's bolt is soon shot. Ability does not have to declare itself everlastingly it simply can and does. Every once in a while the world makes a lion of a man; his head swells, and he makes a monkey of himselff , A noted French scientist killed the sale of his really good book, called "Lives of Distinguished Scientific Men," because the title of his first chapter was "The History of My Life." A man discounts his superiority when he becomes" aware of it. As soon as a great man shows he knows it, we doubt it. Since modesty sits serenely on the best of us, it is incumbent upon the rest of us. ' It is one thing to be proud of honors, an entirely different thing to be vain of them. Modesty is more than a biblical injunction; it is an Important part of the personality of every successful man. Conceit is the fly in the ointment, the grit in the on, the lion in the path of any man's power. If a man is an underling and he becomes conceited, he remains what he is; if he is an able man and he becomes conceited, he ties a millstone about his neck, cuts the ground from under him and puts an extinguisher on his light t Broad men do not weaken themselves by small beer conceit the bough that bears most bends lowest.

Conceit takes - the wind out of a man's sails and throws a wet, blanket

over opportunity.. ' When a man glances into the mirror 'and sees a conceited man he is looking at a dead one conceit is- a shroud.

LORD CURZON The present coldness of the British

government toward Lord Nortncune

is due in no small part to his opposition to the appointment of Lord Curzon, head of the British foreign office, as a member of the British delegation

to the disarmament conference in Washington this fall. On, July 13 the London Times, controlled by Northcliffe, in an editorial on the proposed conference burst out regarding Curzon that "his pompous and pretentious manner and incapacity for business do not fit him to discharge the responsible duties the mission would im

pose."

It must be admitted .that Curzon, despite his distinguished academic and political record, has never been a popular man. The son of a clergyman peer, ho was born in 1859, went to Eton and Balliol college, Oxford and became assistant private secretary to Lord Salisbury when th latter was premier. That was in 1885. Jbe same year he attempted to get into the house of commons and failed. He was more

successful the following year, when

TODAY'.S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" OTHER PEOPLE Other people are replicas of ourselves. When we take it upon ourselves to criticize someone else, we are calling their attention to our own faults. We rarely look at it in this light, but then we do not Bee ourselves as others see us. Other people really are our university, from whom we ought to learn. Perhaps they may be carrying around with them useful knowledge that they have Inherited or have acquired, the ownership of which has never occurred to them. We would be wise if we took that knowledge without their knowing it! x And then we might give it back on the sly. -' For none of us are original. We are borrowers from the four ends of the earth. We take what other people leave or can't see possibilities in. The very air is pregnant with ideas. We must not forget that we are "other people" to other people. The very gait of the passerby may suggest that he has missed something. ' Much of correction may come through observation. Other people's mistakes and blunders do not worry me. I am too busy figuring out how I shall eliminate and forget my own. Living is a task for any man or woman. Respectibility is but a term after all. Anyone is respectable who is honest. , . We must each make our own standards but we must live up' to them. . - - - This would be a much better and more satisfactory world if we didn't spend so much time over the affairs of other people. Things work out. But helping other people is always welcomed!

Disputant To settle a dispute, please inform me if a whale is a fish, the same as a flounder is a fish. A whale is not a fish; it is a mammal, just as much as a horse is a mammal. The Encylopedia Britannica says of it: "There was once, and may be still, an idea that a whale is a fish. To realize the fallacy of this notion we have only to consider what a fish really is, what, under all diversities of form, size and

color, there is common to all fishes, I man,

and we see that in everything which characterizes a true fish and separates it from other classes, as reptiles, birds and mammals, the whale resembles the last and differs from the fish. It is as essentially a mammal as a cow and a horse, and simply resembles a fish externally because it is adapted to inhabit the same element; but is no more a fish on that account than is a bat nearly related to a bird because it is adapted to pass a great part of its

existence on the wing."
