The Herald s on DIRECT PRIMARII ‘It is announced that direct maries will be employed this year by the democratic party of the city to| select the candidates who will make| up the democratic ticket, The old| system of making the Sclections in| caucus will be abundoned, Any step which gives to the voters themselves a greater choice of possi- | pri- ble office holders is a step in the di-|m rection of making govermment in a city like New Britain a more popular government. M the theory of a gov- ernment of, for and by the people 1s the best theory, then any movement to give the people greater latitude, within reason, is a commendable movement. It Is for this rcason that one be- lieves this action by the democratic organization here is a wise one, The expense will be greater, but the re- sultgnt benefits will more than make up for this udded cost, rery argument against the direct primaries of this character is an ar- gument against our form of govern- ment, It may be %aid that a group of sincere men, demoorats or republi- caushwould be better fitted to select the varfous candidates for office than the people themselves would be, Such group, possessing more In||nut(" knowledge of the requirements for| oflice a candidate should have, might | be able to form a wiser opinion were the men forming such group, repub- lican or democratic, always to be in- flubneed solely by a consideration of the merits of the candidates, So, it} might be sald, that a_group of wise | men would better able to select one who would be a good president of the United States than the people would be. But the trouple is that such | group of “wise men” would not re- main disinterested, It would be abso- lutely contrary to human nature. leaving the selection of a president | in the hands of a few men would de- stroy the country, it is the firm belief | of the men of this lard.

Every unfair advantage has been taken in prosccuting him, according to the facts as here assumed, Hearsay tosti- mony and worse, according to the statement, has been admitted, The prosecution has not been confined by any recognized rules of evidence and, naturally therefore, has had an un- fair leeway in its attempts to discredit the attorney general, But the concluding sentence of the editorial, following the line suggested by the title “Why not tryhi mnow,” is. “Put Mr. Daugherty on the wit- ness stand and let the rale of evidence Why Why put this| upon man injured h\'} hea testimony? Why a man, in defending himself, by rlll(l: HIO!V." this? nandicap a say restrict which w not econsidered by who testified The gations would be more rules of evidence to be applied.

The Scientific American should be given the benefit of the doubt. Far trom being spiritualists ourselves, we may nevertheless admit that-complete ignorance of what is going on in the unknown world inspires the cultiva- tion of an open mind on this matter which intrigues more, perhaps, than any other conceivable, There are those who believe they have communi- cated with the spirits of the dead. Nor are all of these people ignorant nor credulous nor insane, In the light of what has been discovered in com- paratively recent years, only the most firm conservative feels justified in say- | ing that this one thing, at least, Is impossible, ! IN CHICAGO, TOO In line with the recent opinion cited in these columns, declaring that au- tomobiles might mnot lawfully be searched for liquor without a sedrch warrant, unless there was visible, tangible evidence that the vehicle was transporting liquor, comes news of the ruling of a Chicago police court judge. The humorous aspects of this lgtter case need not be dwelt upon. The smile comes when it is explained that the woman in the case had.been call- ed “the walking bar room” by flj‘, police, and is al'eged to have carried, under a long coat, a crescent shaped copper tank containing moonshine and in her pockets two whiskey glasses, Nevertheless the court held in 50 many words that the officers had they had a search wareant. Facetious people need not bother to remark there “was something most attractive about her,” nor that *a moment spent with her would bring a warming glow to the heart” Such frivolous remarks are entirely out of place and destructive of the serious- ness of the situation, But well may it be said that the general trend of judicial opinion is that even since the passage of the Volstead act reputable citizens may drive their cars along the highway without sufféring the Indig- nity of being stopped and searched and that women may walk along the street, even if they dd happen to wear long coats, without being afraid that some man will have the right to come along and search them without cause, Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT GUMLEN, Another definition of a pretzel: A cracker gone crazy, The man who wants to trouble needs no coliateral, it | Periaps they call them musical comedies because the music quite often is such a joke, | borrow | A man doesn’t mind his sins finding | him out—provided they don’'t go and | tell his wife, A mother is a person who thinks the girl her son wmarricd isn’t half good enough for him, .
