Sudi y noon to be in, .publi- or, nto naterial mie for FIE VOTËRS RULE The primary elections :of. last week contained lessonis for the voters' which,' if thought through and acted upon will Iead to a much better plan for electing candidates. The diverse opinions of officiais who should know the law and how to properly interpret it:.had the voters very' much "up in the air." They were :warned by one group that if they voted one party. ticket two yeairs* ago and attempted to vote another in 1938, they would be open to pro secution for illégal voting. Another. gro up contended j ust as valiantly that the voter had a right to vote any party ticket tbis 'year he chose to vote,. regardless of what anyone else said about it. But bcth sides were in agreement -on the fact that the voter had to declare bis~ party affiliation, tliereby making" it possible for party organizations to keep a rope around bis neck. The inquiry most frequently heard'on the North Shore on primary day, as weIl as before .and since, is, "Why sbould I be restricted to any party in mny choice of candidates?" In explanation of his in- quiry one young voter had this to say: "I ordinarily vote a Republican ticket in the primary. But being vitally interested ini good gov- ernment, I very mucli want to vote for certain candidates for nomination on the~ Demiocratic ticket. to me important contests are to be diecided andi no sucb. situation exists ini the Republican primary? IIow is it possible for me to act in thé interest of good government when the law prevents me f rom exercising my judgment as to which candfidates are btter qualified? Again, supposing that there are wvhat. I believe to be aIl bad 'candidates on the ticket I ordinarily vote, what riglit las the law to say I shall not step over into the other party, pri- mary and vote for someone I consider 'better fitted? How else can I help to raise the stanidard of officiaIs?" Wi UUUme j.1I431.ý "At 80 m. p. h.: 'Someoné will probably have this car repaired. If so, we thank you for the sale* of a new speedometer to replace this one which in a few moments is going to h-I along with you."

AGAIN-THE POLICE Gathering inspiration f rom a North Shore. police officer, we some time ago spoke of the. practice, of somne parents in attempting to scare children into good behavior by threatening them with "The po lice- man will get you if you don't. be good." 1t was pointed out that. policemen are not ogres bent upon the capture and *torture o f children, but on. the, con- trary have only a desire, to be helpful to them, and are thus their true friefids.. Theý samie officëer sugge1ststhe desirability of per- sonal acquainitance between villagers and police officers as a means of promoting cooperation in Iaw observance ande enforcemeflt. Policemen, lie re- marked, are directed in their acts solely by orders from higher officiaIs guided in turn by the ordinances of the village. It frequently happens that duty compels them to take some action for which they are soundly and almost always unjustly berated. Personal acquantance will in many cases prevent such injustice. If the cuiprit knows the officer to be fair-minded, without prejudice and playing no favorites, le will have respect for lis authority and recognize that le is acting iii a strictly official capacity. Know your policemen. They are a pretty fine bunch of fellows whose duty it is to guard you and your chl dreti. your safety and your property. THE AMERICAN'S CREED In these days'of divided aijegiance, of hyplienated blocs and groups, of attacks upon democracies, of movements subversive of the American form, of, government, it is a good idea for Americans to hold fast to those principles which have been handed clown fromn formier generations and which form the foundation stones of individual freedoi..
