Look Out for Shoals. The unfortunate fact is that many

experiments with t^e direct primary system thus far have generated serious scandles. though it was confidently put forward as a cure for tham. Thoughtful citizens do not blink this fact, having no desire to be misled with their eyes closed. It will be sufllcient disappointment to be misled with eyes open.

Will there be a gain in the net re­sults of the change? On that point turns the test.

When it comes to the overthrow of all constitutionalism, we are "progres­sive" enough to desire to look over the hill top first and see vwhat lies ahead. And we hold that' to be a wise and prudent thing to do.

The best way to build a government for the people is to give its direction to broad-minded, conscientious men! If this is idealism, it is not more so than the idealism of direct rule of the people. Both theories have their practical weaknesses.

The real politician has mighty little of conscience in his makeup. There are many patriots as well as gamesters among the so-called reactionaries, and there are many demagogues as well as honest men on the side of

the people." We care not so much what the the­

ories of the conscientious man may be; place him with others of his sort in control of affairs, and the compo­site effect of conscientious effort will be along the line of progress. And we include the conscientious Socialist in this statement.

Lincoln was a man of conscience, not of opportunism. lie recognized and emphaslzed-the dangers that lurk in popular sovereignty. We make the reference merely to suggest that there are dangers a fact that enthu­siasts are prone to forget.

Government is here for a long time. It needs perfecting and it will need yet more perfecting as the years come and go. Hut the way lies not in a rush for innovations—a "rush," we say. Safety will be found within the lines of a reasonable conservative progress, such as is now frowned upon as not sutllcently rapid.

, The Hamburg-American line's new mammoth trans-Atlantic steamship, Imperator, the biggest vessel in the world, was launched at Hamburg The Imperator's Jength—900 feet—is 326 feet greater than the height of the highest monument in the world If the Imperator were set on end in the group of lofty buildings at the l >wer end of New York, it would rise more than 150 feet above the highest towers. The uplifted hand of the statue of Liberty would reach; only to the wires strung between its masts. The ship is more than four city blocks long. The ship weighs- considerably more than 100,000,000 pounds. In addition there is an eoormous added weight of furniture, fixtures, china, silver, glass, bedding and other de­tached objects. If the material used in its construction were loaded on the largest freight cars a continuous train about forty-five miles long would be required to carry it. When the passengers and crew go aboard an other 666,000 pounds is added.

The great size of the ship made it possible to equip it with public cabins much more spacious than those of any other ship. The main lounge may be converted into a large ball room. At one end of this saloon is a stage completely equipped for con­certs and other performances. In the saloon are two beautiful Gobein tapes­tries, representing Europe and Asia,

The Imperator's most unique * fea­ture will be a magnificent sWfmming pool, reproducing a luxurious Roman bath. For those desiring special pri­vacy suites are provided, iucluding a private veranda or deck. These ocean "apartments" consists of drawing room, bedroom and dining room.

The Imperator will be driven by Parsons quadruple turbine engines, which will develop 70,000 horsepower and insare an average speed of 22} knots an hour. It will be equipped also with the' Frabm antirolling tank, which will make it the steadiest boat afloat.—Sioux City Journal. .

BUICK CLIMBS TO MT. DIABLO'S TOP WITH THREE PASSENGERS AND 700 POUNDS n

OF BAGGAGE IT MAKES the PERILOUS ASCENT

A demonstration of the fact that the low-priced motor car of today can carry tour passangers almost anywhere under the sun they may < wish togo, was made last Saturday when a model "35" Buick climbed to the top of Mount Diablo with three grown men and about 700 pounds of baggage, the property of some thirty members of the Sierra Club who were camping over night at the top.

The car was drwen by Earl de-Vore of the Howard Automobile Company and carried Claude Mc-Gee of tiie same company and a newspaper man. It climbed the grade which represents an ascent of some 4,000 feet without me­chanical difficulty and under its own power at all times.

The car with its three passengers left Oakland Saturday noon travel­

ing by way of the Tunnel road ^o Danville, Contra Costa county, where it picked up the baggage of the Sierra Club members and obtained a special permit to enter the private roadway at the en­trance of Pine canyon leading to the mountain trails.

No sooner was the canyon reach­ed than the difficulties of the haz­ardous undertaking presented themselves in the shape of danger­ous inclines where washouts and sharp narrow twists occured with a frequency that would dishearten a mountain burrow. Tlioughout the entire climb, however, the car liutfg tenaciously to its grinding task and brought its load to the very top of the mountain and then to further show its power, wormed its way up the rocky formation at the peak and rubbed the radiator

against the brick monument that marks the surveying point for California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.

The party camped at the top all night, and on Sunday, after photo­graphing the car in its perilous po­sition, started on the descent, where the only barriers between its occupants and a wild plunge in­to eternity were Driver de Vure's nerve and the powerful braking of the machine—both of which prov­ed to be equal to the task.

On the way down the car carried four passengers besides its heavy load of baggage, as one uf the club members bruised a foot so severly on the rough climb that lie was unable to walk the return trip.

The Goodyear tires used by the Buick rendered perfect service dur­ing the hard test.—From San Francisco Chronicle, April 7.

Klondyke Won. In one of the best games of ball

ever seen In Canton Klondyke won from the home team by a score of 1 to 0 in 13 innings. It was hard fought thru out and not until the last strike was called could you tell the winner. Wenig of Inwood and Nelson of Klondyke performed steller work on the mound with Frank Lewis the batting star of the day.

Juel and Syverud were the battery for Canton and played star parts. Juel lost the game thru errors behind him and at a critical time as there were two men down when two ground balls were handled with no regard as to whether the man should be out or not. Wenig fur Klondyke struck-out 13 men, hit two and allowed 3 hits. Juel of Canton struck out 16 men, hit one and allowed 6 hits Lewis geF~ ting four of them. The game was great but the attendance was poor, about (>0 witnessed the game. Canton cannot have a team without support.
