The republican state convention at Bellingham today could, if it chose to look itself squarely in the face, -per- form really admirably. If it took that square look, it would see itself as an aggregation of individuals who in no, sense could call themselves the rank and file of the party. The “rank and file” are at home. They do not take any stock in makeshift caucuses. They pay scant attention to the rhetoric poured out at conventions, nor are they in- terested in the purely personal squabbles of delegates. They haven't even any nominal interest in whether one man or another happens to be chosen a district delegate or delegate- to Chicago. They ARE interested in knowing, however, whom the republicans of this state indorse for president. They would a voice in that indorsement. They have no such voice now. And they never will have until this state becomes enlightened enough and progressive enough to adopt a “termined effort. presidential preference law. Under that kind of a law, the “rank and file” could very definitely decide whether they want to champion the re- mote presidential possibilities of Senator Poindexter; whether they want to play “the favorite son” game, or whether they want to indorse one of the more probable candidates for president. Senator Poindexter has gone before the people on several occasions, and he has been able to acquit himself in good He would, indeed, be a much more formidable can- didate today if he could but have the indorsement of the “rank and file.” Instead, he has the indorsement only of the politicians, the professional politicians, who, as a class, hhave generally opposed the senator when the latter was a to the votes of the people. tor Poindexter could, indeer, set the Bellingham con- Yention right in this matter by declaring for a presidential Ty ical eens ania EPS a TORIALS By CONDO BoT Wwe SELL A, GREAT EVERETT TRUE NOW, DON'T SHOW MG ANY MOR® OF THOSE LoUD socKs — I DO NOT WANT THem! ay law, quite as vigorously as he did in 1912 and in+ 1916. There ill come the day when the political machine “will not be so tractable to Senator Poindexter’s interests— _ and in that day he may want a direct appeal to the people. Just how fearless is the senator? Dare he today espouse the same principles of direct voting that he did a Tew years ago? | But if conventions were in the habit of doing sensible | ‘things, and principled things, why then mebbe there would have been any demand for direct primaries anywhere. | why speculate what the Bellingham convention could do if it chose? It won't do it. “Wild women are scarce tn Reno,” says our former townsman and versatile journalist, Jack Jungmeyer. Is that a boost for Reno or is Jack looking for a leap-year invitation to come back here?

Estimates are that our daily allowance is about 15,000,000. Europe makes about 10,000,000 pins a day, with the American output at about 5,000,000, Figures are figures, but some curious cuss has figured that the world uses daily 80 tons of pepper, 220 tons of mustard and 80,000 tons of salt! And as to wool, silk and cotton for clothing! One is told that from three to four thousand tons a day are worked up into various woolen goods, but that, most of it goes into clothing. And as to cotton, the estimate is that the world’s shops sell every 11,000 tons of cotton stuffs.
