VOTING IN THE PRIMARY iThfl attorney general on being anked if one.

who voted for Hoover tan vote in the democratic primary next month, replied i that he wan of the opinion that he could and i likewise a republican who voted, for Smith could vote, in the republican Jt fhniiM be realized that Missouri really. has two elections and there is no fffaetical way fo classify the voters in a primary; the voter must do that themsehreH and do. Voters may not only vote! against the head of their party ticket and then return to the primaiy of the party they fought, but they may and do vote in a party primary with the open statement that they will bolt Ihe ticket if their special candidate is not nominated. Tom Love openly announced in Texaii that if Ala Ferguson were nominated for governor he would bolt.the ticket. It has been charged that party bosses sometimes induce swarms of voters of opposite political faith to go into a primary and nominate someone who is considered a weak candidate and then beat the candidate at the polk We have seen in Missouri how republicans flocked to the support of 'James A.

Reed in the primary, but as a rule went through the, election for; him also. On the contrary, many democrats voted against Reed in both the primary and the election, and hence there no practical difference in their' position and that of the republicans who supported Both factions were in vfahvnce with the general theory of the primary which is that one will vote in "the primary of his party and support the nominees regardless "of whether he voted for them. The primary law is based' on a theory which is not entirely practical. The' belief prevailed when the law was passed that one would have so much pride in his party that he would have no desire to vote in the primary of the opposition. Party loyalty seemed strong, but it was really never as ctrong as it appeared.

In the days of the convention here were ways of disciplining the bolter; the man who failed to "vote her straight" was punished if he wanted parti honors and to scratch a party nominee was a thing not to be done with impunity. Now since the people vote directlv for candidates, the party leaders are not able to control thr rank and file. While independent voting has been regarded always ax desirable it does destroy party responsibility. The ollicifil now feels that he owes little to the party and got bis office largely "through his own 'idividual efforts, which is true as was in Jim Reed's case. The party "man rs' tried to discipline Roed because he Ned to support the policies of President n.

The Editor's Mail Bag ERRORS OP THE PAST Twenty yearn go Springfield had the chance to get natural gat, and by. trying to get stilt lower rate, the city waited 20 yetra and paid an exhorbitaii; price or artificial Now here cornea the Citiet Service company offering to give Ui gut it a 'comparatively low rate and Instead of the cltlxens committee of (he Chamber of Commerce trying to work with them, they Invite other jpeople to come in'ilnd bid On this with the result It inlagonlr.es the Cities 'Service company and the others withdraw. I make frequent trips to New York and am a personal friend of a great many public utilities officials In New York. Several of these officials told me there was no chance of anybody putting gas into Springfield except the Henry L.

Doherty company, or the Cities Service These public utility men told me the large banks would not finance any other gas company In competition' to Cities Service, the bankers taking the position that competition was useleaa and that It would be absurd to' finance a company that had to come into Springfield and tear up existing mains and pipes under ground. The worst feature of the whole matter Is the unfriendliness of Springfield business men has causedtrie Doherty people to get sour taste towards Springfield; Some of Doherty's men have staled that when the big dam Is built it Table Rock, Joplin and Carthage' will' be pushed ahead of Springfield for new Industries. In other wotds, every effort will be made to locate new Industries in Joplin Instead of Springfield. If Springfield had shown a kindly disposition and willingness to work with the Cltleis Service people their headquarters would have been moved to Springfield In preference to Jopllnv About ten years ago the Henry L. Doherty company wanted to atari work on Table Rock (lain but the city attorney protested and demanded thai locks be built.

This threw the whole thing into a muddle, ind shortly titer that Doherty discontinued the promoting of this dm until the present time. It has been stated by Doherty' bf 'flcltli a number of times that If the city attorney had not Interfered at that time and Insisted on locks, winch are absolutely abmird. the daiu would have been built ten years aso and the big power plant at Riverside, would not have been built, As It Is, Springfield passed up a golden opportunity and the big power plant' was built at Riverside, Kan. qhances are Wring field would have been from ten to twenty thousand greater In population at this time. It looks at though Springfield Is delaying getting 'natural gat While the Henery t.

Doherty people, are having a big laugh, as they are supplying artificial gas at an exhorbl tant price. TROTH. Today Anniversary THE WORLD WAR On 'July 28, Austria Hun gary declared war on Serbia flv; days a'ter delivering an ultimatum containing demands with which the Serbian government would only partially comply. Serbia was anxious to avert the hostilities that threatened. Dlplo matt of other European powers sought to Iron out the difficulty but Austria Hungary refused to submit the matter to peacelii arbitration.

The Cusslan government, ivmpa to Serbia, ordered the mobilisation of Itt army. When Germany violated Bel gitim't neutrality, England considered this sufficient cause to declare war agsflMt the Invader. The Very, Idea! A daily, column of comment by member i of tht Leader Staff By BETH CAMfRElX TJUILT Into the tide of i hill Is a quaint city, Ribbons of pavement wind around on precipitous ledges cut Into the mountain side.

Transparent waterfalls, clear glistening' streamt reflecting the gorgeous' colors of the spectrum, thin seeping springs wonder fully cold, appear In most unusual places. Next door to a sprint it park; next door to a park Is a hotel, then a bank. Next door to the bank one rosy 'fill off a precipice of 300 feet down to the. street which It a block north, For anyone who has ever been deep Into the Ozarks there Is no question concerning the spot to which I refer, Enrrka Springs it luch a superlatively beautiful and surprising city hat It. would be seldom forgotten, I imagine.

The ensemble of lis architecture so thoroughly In keeping with the topography' of the city, the originality of Its plan, the flnl versallly of the people frequent the city, make Eureka Springs a unique resort. WY FRIKND8 who have been In Swllxer A land, have never mentioned that Eureka resembles Geneva, or that the, two Lake Lucernes are comparable, but surely It is because they have never thought about It. alio have nem been there, can conjure up striking comparisons between 'Europe'! real thing, and "The Little Switzerland of Aiirrnta," as Eureka Is advertised. It nearly approaches visions I have had of Siss environs with the difference between mountains and hills, as the chief distinction. And since seeing Eureka tnd the panoramic views which It affords from vantage places In the city and nearby, I beliryt I like the hill country better than mountain peaks anyway." The view the lookout of the Crescent.

hotel, high above the cltyas it Is, reveals. a panorama of expuimte beauty. To the, east, winding out toward the blue gray horr: im It was near twilight lime when I saw It is a white road finding IU way up the. valley. Dotted over the hillside are white, cottages and.

great sprawling houses with little barns and steep mountain driveways. In one spot It Is shady. Next door there Is a sheaf of sunlight, causing a marked contrast in the hill view. Turning to see the cause for this, I faced the sun, covered partly by rifts of white clouds, appearing to be' a magnet drawing all the water from the earth for a long way. At the north, ihere were no habitations Just range alter range of the green hills overlapping and shading each other and encircled in the distance by dark blue mountains which seemed to be shrouded In a purple ha.

In the south there were more houses. Drawn Involuntarily to the west vle.w again, 1 saw the red ball of fire that was the sun dtp beneath the pine serrated horizon. TJICH In the lore of an eventful Kureka Springs seems to have secrets on every side. There is the Lover's Leap, chlf Just iboye Nigg Spring where Uadl tioir has it that two young sweethearts jumped lo their death. There are world of Indian legends, whispers of Ponce de Leon, and De Roto and Marquette, which folk of the hill town love to recount.

Any number of ancient landmarks might be noted, but the townspeople as a whole would rather talk of the new Improvements, the development of t'he Ozarks, the modernity of Eureka. They will talk much of the variety of recreation, the swimming, fishing, dancing, horseback riding and golf fered. They will declare alkt that the surrounding community is particularly adapted' to agriculture, horticulture, dairying and poultry raising and the like. There will be coro'menls on the wonderful new show places which wealthy men are building In he section, homes, and buildings of. various kinds.

They are proud of their Crescent college for glrln a hottl In summerttme and of the new Crescent View Girls' 'camp which is being built, Of show places there are manyRainbow falls. Lake Ifterne, Blue 8pring. Valley View, pivot rock and the natural bridge, Onyx Spring, and Onyx cave. Camp Revllo and others.

You will hear many stories past and pres. ent about the miraculous hrallngs of this wonder working water. Perhaps they found (he magic healing springs the Indians had talked about. You see the Watity, and the peace, contentment and relaxation possible, and wonder If they felt they hid discovered hetven.

In any case, to hive found Eureka Is all that I should require of our forbears. Oura to enjoy It, I should say. a u) a Being O. O. Mclxtyre's famous column of gossip.

ANTWERP I wish tht home of lice would permit ma to linger In this Belgian city of 300,000 awhile Instead of tnnoylng me with childish cables I'm overworked word quaint describes It. The birthplace of Flemish paintings, It It tht home of Rubeni tnd hit illustrious student Van Dyck tnd Jordans. Tht public square In which a heroic statue of Rubens It flung up facet happily the entrance of tht gaunt grey cathedral where hangs hit most famous picture, "Erection de Croix." But a greater Interest for nit' was lit port. I counted 300 craft Jn, the harbor. Thirty ships arrive and 30 depart Jally.

In a moment of adventure we selected a modest pension hotel on the turbulent water Iront a mean looking inn with a red nosed maid named Josephine tnd a' pork marked waiter named Napoleon. Narrow sidewalks are clogged with Arabs, Somalts, Flemings big chested men with. rolling gaits whoee constant Jabber In tllen tongues It harsh tnd emphatic. Nearly all Antwerpians speak four languages German, Dutch, French, English. French, however, predominates.

Next to shipping, diamond cutting is the main Industry. A big 1 district, like Wall ttreeV is given over to the delicate art, with a Diamond Exchange, comparable to our Stock Exchange, In lt center. I saw one diamond elghlng 72 karats. Indeed I held It In my hind, there being no windows in the room ind the door locked. Some 40.000 mast ly Polish, are engaged In the work, ind about 90 percent of the diamond cutting Is done the Qddly enough It Is not a highly paid profession.

Another, feature of the city Is its beautifully, formed Flemish dray horses. Ctrtert here, on account of Immenst.thip hauling, art They, form an Immense guilddivided classes. Each class, hauls certain articles on the lowhung "wagons. One of the Impressive building's la their club house. The magnificent animals are closely cobbed, "with only a fan shipped nubbin of a tall.

They are powertul Percherona wearing enormous collars g'lltterlng with ging'er bready bras ornaments. Manes are flecked with ribbon bows and hoofs lie lacquered. Driven use but a single line attached ti a plush padded halter, and never use a whip. OO In an ancient Antwerp square Is bronie of Qulnten Matsey, onre Hi blacksmith, whd is idealised by ill Belgians. He becime great painter In order to win the hand of the daughter of a painter who had objected to his prosaic calling.

CO There Is another statue, a huge bronze, of in American Indian with 'breech clout, feathered head dress and poised pear. I learned the Belgians originally lived in tribal fashion and this was one of the famous warrior chiefs. OO In middle ages Antwerp and Amsterdam merchants were commercial princes of the old world. Descendants have upheld the tradition, Some of New York's early and moat successful merchants migrated from Antwerp. Us cosmopolitanism is displayed in the variety of its architecture, I saw a complete modernistic house.

Its front was a black onyx and Its doorway and windows of while marble. Its surrounding hedge was cut In sharp angles, It terraced lawn was In tha mode and the door knob was the rich azure blue of lapis lazuli. OO i. Across the narrow street running alongside this hotel Is a dingy grog gery, patronized by seamen. A horrible scraping gramophone Is grinding Out "Happy Days Are Here Again" while parakeets swaying from the celling '1 chatter.

I Just peeked out my window Into It and saw husky dock wallopers dancing aboiit on a sanded floor. All members ol my troupe are at the world exhibition on the other side of town an exhibition at which America, by the way, Is not represented. Every" now and then the door to my room in this barn like inn suddenly squeaks and slowly opens and no one Is The dog Is arting strangely, Jumping nut of a sound nap at Intervals with a bristling back to circle about with menacing growls. And if something isn't breathing heavily under the bed I'm i cock eyed liar. The way I feel right now this Is probably the last article from me.

Harvey C. Couch, president of the White River, Power company, ex 1 presses the desire to offset the Impression which prevails that large numbers of workmen are now needed for the construction of the three big power dams that are to be built by his company in the Fllppln district of north Arkansas. This Impression has csused men lo Journey from riistsnt poinl with expectations of getting workt many of them have not sufficient funds to maintain themselves, or fco continue their Journey, and a great hardship Is worked on not only the Job seekers, but upon the community of their arrival as well. Nearly all work being done now is being curried on by the regular technical force Of the company, and the character of the Rork is such that only "a limited number can be employed. When irtual construction work is started practically all employees will be available from the Immediate district, and very few, If any, workmen from other places can be accomodated, Officials of the Empire District Electric company, who ire to build the dam al Tablcrock, have repeatedly made the same statement that is now made by Mr, Couch, and have done all In their power to stop or modify the annoying situation.

Thousands of letters have been received, and applications for Jobs and posltlpns have been, made in person by an army of men, and officials and employees have not en Joyed the task of Informing so many people that they are unable to accommodate' them. Within the next few years there will be spent for the power develop ment of White river, and for aux lllary enterprises, a grealer sum of money than has ever been spent In all the past In this section, and wishes of the mm who are behind i these projects should have the i hearty cooperation of all the people of the district. At this time the people can help by dissipating the Idea that workmen are needed, and by refusing to Intrude themselves into the negotiations which are pending between the companies and the federal power commission. a a The Empire Dtstrtct Electric company has completed' the acquisition of right of way privileges for a high tension electric transmission from Powersite to Aurora, some of the construction material has been delivered, and the erection of poles should start at once. i RKATH Mlt Hstart iio tii al lit W.

Both south and north lines provide for a voltage of 132.00!) volts, will be of the very latest type, Tind will cost the company an enormous sum of This a.ll fits In nicety with the plans for the building of the power dam at Tablerock, and would not be needed without the Tablcrock dam was to be built. Rumors have prevailed for sometime that the Cities Service company and the Kansas City Electric Light As Power com pany were negotiating a deal whlrh would provide for the use of much of the Tablerock power being used in Kansas City, and tha( this deal Vere completed construction work at Tablerock would start at once. Two denials have been made as to the reKjrlcd negotiations, and this lends strength, that a contract is imminent, as It Is notf pretty generally accepted in business circles that five denials are proof, conclusive that a business deal has been It may be true that It, lakes six denials, from Henry Ford to bring a deal hi an end, but public utility companies have not the same hold on the public as Ford, and therefore three more adverse statements will cinch our waterpowcr development. Lots of money will be spent for labor In building these lines, but the company already has a full force of employees, and openings cannot be made for new Incidentally the farmers of Greene.

Complaints that a flock of rattling old trucks are disturbing the residents of Walnut and St, Louis streets should canine a revival of the move to open Mitchell street, which would take care orheavy traffic from the Boulevards. Objections to former plahs seemed to be justified by reason of the property owned by theMarblehead Lime company, and we should never fuss with any of our Industries, but an opening of Mitchell street could be made as far as possible and afford just that much relief.

Puffing and sweating they marrh ed enthusiastically behind lh brass band and "cut up" In a fashion that put the 'antics of tha young men to shame. In the afternoon they marched, to the baseball field, and, silting In the blazing sun, shouted themselves hoarse) In support of the home team. A physician present, an alumnus of the university, remarked, "This is fine spirit, hut darn fool It was, and while one must admit, that this was an uncommon occasion, there are thousands of other persons, who, as Mark Twain had' said, talked much of the hot weather, but did little, about It. Three Items need special attention during hot weather. They am clothes, food and physical effort.

Good sense dictates that each, of these should be1 reduced t0 mini mum. With the atmosphere hotter than body lemperai.ure, we art obliged to radiate a good deal of heat. Thia can be facilitated by weiring light porous clothing. Save when you ara out for your sun bath, the shady side of the street Is the side to be preferred. Since a large portion of our diet ordinarily Is used up lo supply heat for the body, and since in hot wftpther there Is an excess of temperature, the total food consumption should be cut down durihg the warm weather.

Vegetables, fruits, milk and milk product are to be preferred during the hot season. Water should be drunk Judiciously and not In ex cesslve quantities at any one time. Strenuous pbjslcal work should be avoided, particularly Intenslva effort calling for the expenditure of, a large amount of energy. iUOTATIONS 99 "I admire well dressed man." 1 Babe Ruth. i i.
