A GREAT PUBLIC ENTERPRISE
WITHOUT GRAFT.
It has been a favorite argument
with those who maintain that great
enterprises can best be conducted un-
der private control and supervision for
the reason that graft is mevitaDie
when the government does the work.
One cannot deny that a great volume
of evidence supports this contention.
and that experience Justifies rather
than refutes it But between that
fact and the assumption that graft Is
Inevitable In public work and that
privately conducted enterprise is free
Irom ll. mere id giuuuu iur tuuuw
versy that will give opponents of pub- j
llcly conducted enterprise much
trouble.
The facts at Panama that have a
bearing on this subject are eyeopen-
ers. The atmosphere down there has
conduced to honesty as well as ef-
ficiency. In fact it could not be other-
wise where efficiency has been so evi-
dent for honesty Is a counterpart of
that. .The predominant factor in the
Panama work has been the universal
ambition of those In charge to achieve
that which they were engaged as ex-
peditiously as thoroughly and as
economically as possible. It has not
been a case merely of the heads of de
partments watching for loose places
and dubious actions: on the contrary
all engaged or practically all. were
enthused with the spirit of giving the
best service and getting the best re-
sults. It has been as If honesty and
efficiency were the personal business
of every man on the job. No privately
conducted enterprise of the same mag-
nitude will ever show more uniform
devotion to the business in hand.

NEED FOR SHORT BALLOT.
All this clamor for direct primaries
seems to be based on distrust of the
elder statesmen. People seem to want
government to run Itself. Conventions
have developed objectionable habits
and It Is proposed to deprive them of
their powers.
The dog has fleas!
Kill the dog!
Where will the powers lodge of
which the conventions are deprived?
In the newspapers? In the candidate
whose physical vocal and pecuniary
abilities can stand the greatest strain
of preliminary campaigning? The
conventions had become to be too me-

chanical too easily controlled by ex-
pert mechanists. The New York Dem-
ocratic State conventions of late
years with Murphy In control have
been very bad. The machinery of
nominations in many States had got
so full of bosses that it has seemed
easier to throw it away than to try
to clean It up. It is a situation not
a theory that has made advocates for
direct primaries. Something had to
be done. But the convention idea was
good and it worked pretty well a long
time. Our government is party gov-
ernment Somehow party voters must
agree whom they shall vote for and
somehow their leaders will get to-
gether and talk It over. We shall see
how that will be managed but man-
aged It will be somehow. And If we
are to have direct primaries It seems
obvious that we must have the short
ballot not vote for so many candi-
dates but only for representatives and
a few responsible executives leaving
