Primaries and Corruption.
(Hartford Courent.)
In denouncing what he termed
the corruption in connectiOn with
primaries and elections Theodore
Roosevelt. Jr.. in addressing the an-
nual convention of the American
Legion at New llavcn emphasized in
feeling that any thoughtful ciilzcll
must have as he reads obellt the
tremendous sums that have been ex-
pended recently in certain states to
secure nomination for ofllcc. it is
true that an enormous amount of
money may be expended by a con-
dldate in ways that are in no 301150
of the word criminal. Advertising is
usually expensive. and a man who
wishes to present his opinions to the
voters of a large area cannot do it
easily unlesy he pays for tho privi-
lege. But it is absurd and danger
ous to have men spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars to secure it
place on either the republican or the
democratic ticket, and there is some-
thing fundamentally wrong with
any system that to all practical pur-
poses limits the candidates to men
able to afford such expenditures.
The majority of the fine theories
that made the primary system ap-
peal to many people before it was
tried out seem to have been swal-
lowed up in the faults that have
made themselves startlingly appo-
rent now that it is in operation in
so many places. That it at least
encourages if it does not actually
demand tremendous expenditures of
money is one of the greatest of its
faults.

Escaping Unscetlled.
(Kiwanis Magazine.)
With the odds so much in favor
of escap g unscathed. is it any
wonder hat crime is on the in-
crease? Wldc~spread violations of
the law are not so much the re-
sult of the post-war unrest as they
are of Justice not being meted out
to criminals in our courts. If thl
continues. constituted authority will
become a. laughing stock to a great-
ertnumbcr of people than at pres-
en .
One of the most potent Influences
helping law violations is legislative
bodies which try to justify their
existence by passing more and more
laws. then folding well manicured
hands over rotund stomachs, set-
tling back for a nap with the idea
that the matter is settled by the
passage of the law. If we had one-
tenth as many lows and that one;
tenth were enforced with ten times
the sternneee as at present. we
would have a. better governed
continent.

BETTER AUDITING NEEDED
(Bridgeport Post)
Are the books of town and city
officials regularly audited by certt.
fled public accountants as the books
of private business are?
In general. not at all. Some towns
have not had their books audited for
generations and their affairs are
in dual: shape that it would take the
euditon another generation to
stroighten out the mess. It is this
moht that tempts officials to pilfer.
The wool: ones falter and fall.
ing. defalcations would be rare. as
the. temptation and opportunity
would vanish together. and the max.
imum loss would be well within the
limits of the surety bonds required.

treasury be the loser.
