That the known bondholders, mortgagees, and other security holders owning or holding 1 per cent or more Editorials from New York Papere Primaries The eiiemies of the primary system of ncmination ar< now having their little liour of exultation. Tliey're makiii the most of the startling contrast between the exciting pri mary contesta which preceded the national conventions oi 1912 and the general avoidance this yearof instructions, ex pressione of prefeience or other commitments by the voters which would prevent the natiunal delegates from acting on their own best judgment. Because the voters ha ve cliosen this year to forego the full use of their power under the primary system, critics of the system are boasting that the country is tired of it and is ready to return repentantly t< the old ordei of party government from the top. We do not believe that such boasting is justified. FROM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE imperiai Chancellor's Speech Wliat the imperiai chanceilor had to say to the Reich stag abuot Germany's attitude toward the United States. Canada an<l South America is at this moment 110 consequen ce. As long as the lleets ol the allies are in conimand oi theseas and keep the Prussìan military machine penned tightlj- on dij land, the tiniest, most defenseless island washed by any waves beyond the lines of blockade is secure whate\ ei the chanceilor s intentions. Nobody lias anv doubt of that fact. Should the Prussian military machine win the war the chancellors protestations as to the Amer icas could be so conveniently repudiated as was the scrap of paper guaranteeing under oath the neutrality of Bel gium.

TOPICS !IN BRIEF Funston is 110 bookkeeper but lie seems to linderstand he doublé entry system. Winston Churchill seems to be playing the British part of a George von L. Meyer.

A s a mountain climber, Villa is having a mudi more practical success than Dr. Cook. Verdun is presenting the most impressive deadlock that history has known. A shiftless man is always boasting wliat he would do if he liad the necessary money. In after years a man rejoices because of the failures ol his youthful ambitions. No girl who is able to bring a manto the point cares for the leap year privileges. If people were as wise as they sometimes think they are the unexpected liappenings would seldom occur. Anybody who does not believe that Spring impends is invited to forget the tliermometer and look at the calendar. For an American citizen Mexico now surpasses the high seas as a place of unsafety first. France and Germauy are both expectant of a speedy end to this war, but not the same kind of an end.
