7 a Ry LET ALL ELECTORS THINK ABOUT IT. HE conscientious elector in this State realizes that the primaries to be held on the 28th of this month offer him the best op- portunity yet to register his will as to who shall serve him - in responsible public offices. ; “Next Monday,’ declares Secretary of State May, “is a date) Which every qualified voter in this State should be thinking about, for it =ill furnish o test of the value of the new method of making! }Mominations for State and National offices.” The thoughtful elector knows this. But what about the other of elector, for whom voting is at best a bore and for whom the task of marking individually some fifty names on a long ballot ~ Swill seem particularly irksome? How can we awaken his interest, “grouse his sense of responsibility, induce him to go into the booth and make his marks like a zealous citizen, proud of the franchise? “ We expect politics to be eternally interesting to those who make “politics pay. The problem is to make politics a live interest to thou- @ands to whom voting may seem now and then a duty but never a ‘privilege. After all, this is the clasq that will make or mar the *gaccess of Monday’s primaries. * et The proposed relief committee for Wall Street's unem- ployed is not a joke. First aid is not for the brokers, but for the thousands of clerks, stenographers and office helpers who have lost their jobs. The brokers’ turn may come. —— NEED JUSTICE SLOW UP?

HE country has been reminded often enough of its grave mis- ing the right way about it to win the com- mercial dence and good will of the South American mations.

Just now we have the best chance tn the world to change all this. Pennsylvania manufacturers keen for business in South ‘America are holding « convention in Wilkes-Barre to discuss the best eways of getting it. Besides the war they see two other reasons why this is the propitious moment: (1) The opening of the Panama Canal, © “which connects the coasts of the two continents more closely; (2) | the passing of the Federal Reserve act, which permits national banks > ef this country to epen branches in South America.
