SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1920 National Conventions The people of the United States have just been treated to a rare ex- hibition of how an inadequate prim- 'ary law works in the way of provid- ing a choice for presidential candi- date. Of the three men who really made a serious trial of the primaries as a means of securing an expression of public opinion upon their can- didacy, none was chosen by the con- vention. Much money, much time, much en- "ergy, much emotion, much ill feeling, were spent in the several primary campaigns. Nothing was achieved except the development of such a bitter family quarrel that none of the 'men engaged could achieve the goal for which they were striving. The candidate was named by the conven- tion, quite as if there had been no primaries, no following developed for any candidate. The time may come when the peo- ple of the nation will insist upon choosing their own candidates for their gift. there will be a material change from the method of procedure now em- ployed. There will be either primary laws that are carried out in every state, with all the candidates present- ed to all the people and no conven- tion, or there will be a convention composed of instructed delegates who will vote as they know their public wishes them to vote. The puzzle of the Chicago conven- tion and that of the convention that will be held in San Francisco at the end of the month is simply, what will the mass of the uninstructedp dele- gates do, to what influence will they yield? They constitute merely ma- terial to be used by the most expert trader, representing nothing in the way of public, or for that matter, private, opinion. They have been elected by popular vote by men whose interest in politics and politic- al issues is insufficient to make them see that they represent the intelli-' gent and the patriotic element of the electorate. The time is not far distant when the American public will awaken to 'the weakness of the present method of choosing the presidential candi- date. It may not come before the time comes for the nomination of the next candidates, but it will not then be far distant. The conventions of 1920 should be the last held for the purpose of nominating the heads of the party ticket. Certainly that of 1924 should be the last. The Resolution "No Strike" Illinois policemen in convention as- sembled passed a resolution opposing the striking policemen, realizing that in their hands rests the safety of the public and refusing to accept the responsibility of denying that safety to those who have placed it in their care. In this action the policemen of Illinois have shown themselves to be superior to those of some other states in which there has been no reluctance to betray the trust that had been reposed in them. It is a characteristic that the people of the cities should recognize in some way Just a Few Cents By H. F. C. A one cent piece is a very useful piece of money, just a simple little coin, but a mighty weighty one, when distributed among 15,000 employes in the Chicago Telephone company. Recently a word or two was said about the $3 a week increase, given to every telephone operator, adding more than one million dollars yearly to the pay roll, and the Telephone company is not, ashamed that the in- crease, was only a few cents a day, because every cent an hour increase, was more than it could afford to give at present rates for service. But each cent an hour, by the way, given to all, adds about a half mil- lion dollars to the pay roll. Of course, a cent won't buy any- thing these days.except one thinks of telephone service and that a business man's single line, with service 24 hours a day, 31 days a month costs less than a cent an hour, one cent an hour would be $7.44 a month, where- as, the rate is only $5 and less. This little cent again. Not much to the individual, not a great deal to pay for service, but a few more cents daily from subscribers would enable the Telephone company to pay mil- lions of dollars to its help, 'who in Ra FALAFEL Buy Direct from 'Headquarters and buy RIGHT.

"The original provision made for the service men," she said this week, "was that they could renew their insurance after 18 months by paying two months' back dues. For a great many men this time limit has expired and so the government has set the time limit ahead until July 1. "So many of the ex-service men m to have an idea that they are doing the government a favor and for that reason would rather go to other companies where in many in- stances they pay higher rates." vertisement "Judge Public pinion" will give you a trial and sentence your business to death.
