THE ONE SURE CURE,
From the Wilkes.Barre Record

From the Wilkes-Barre Record.
If the reputable citizens attended the
primaries, the political pirates who are
always In minority would be powerless
to carry out their evil designs. The repu,
table citizens who are too busy, or con-
slider themselves too respectable to 20 to a
primary election, are responsible for what
ever corruption exists in both political
parties. This patent fact has been dinned
into the ears of our voters at each re-
curing election, but without apparent ef-
feet. The heeler and the boodler are al
lowed to control the primaries and selec
the delegates to the county convention.
These delegates cannot be expected to be
better than the men who elect them The
creature cannot be superior to the creator
AS result we find men ready to sell their
votes for money and giving their sup
port to the man who offers the highest
price. without regard to the qualifications
OF the candidate. But the men who cry
out against this fragrant corruption seem
to forget that they are themselves respon-
sible for his state of affairs. Their mex
cusable Indifference to their plain duty
as citizens has made this buying and sell
Ing of men possible. 1t Is in their power
to stop all this If they will only turn out
In their full strength and take charge OF
the primary elections in every district.
This they can do without any trouble
whatever. They outnumber the corrup-
tionists ten to one, and II they come to the
primaries in body and vote for honest
and incorruptible delegates the thing will
be done. "

notwithstanding the depression, that

commerce are greater today than at
any preceding period. for the simple
reason that there is larger population
to use them. Had the president select.

For q New Pan. American Congress.

The attention Of congress should cer-
tainly be directed before adjournment
to a resolution, recently introduced by
Representative Smith, of Michigan. and
now before the house committee on
foreign affairs. authorizing the presi-
dent at his discretion to take steps to-
ward the convocation Of a congress Of
the nations of the three Americas with
the object of uniting them in an agree
ment to settle all future disputes by ar
bitration. Such a congress Is being
strongly urged by the government of
Ecuador, and has received also the ia
vorable consideration Of majority Of
the other governments Of South Amer
lea.
It is declared to be not the intention
Of the advocates of this congress to
bend it to the formation Of an offensive
Pan-Amerlcan alliance. but Ito knit in
closer and more fraternal bonds the
sisterhood of American republics, to
cultivate closer business connections, to
provide against interminable warfares
between the American states. and per-
haps to obviate all danger OF Interrupt

to be ripe for favorable results.

Is the inhabitants Of Latin-America.

The Climax. TRAGEDY.

Readers who have closely followed
the daily accounts Of the festivities
connected with the czar's coronation at
Moscow and whose inauguration is still
filed with these stories Of the surpass-
ing magnificence and spectacular
grandeur of the imperial preparations
will readily appreciate the vividness OF
the contrast afforded by the horrible
nightmare of Saturdays sudden panic.
Even at this distance, the barbarity of
1t stands forth against such splendid
background with redoubled distinct
ness. On the one hand the elimination
Of the studied pomp and show of the
one absolute government in Europe,
displayed with riotous profusion and
disregard for costs not paralleled in
European history since the Field of the
Cloth of Gold; on the other, such q
massing among the spectators, in the
desperation and recklessness Of human
hunger and sodden animalism, of the
human wolves Of the empire that their
sheer collective weight sufficed to
crush away the most careful precau-
tions and bring on, in a mad stampede,
the bestial sacrifice of more than 1000
lives.
There is no line in the literature Of
Nihilism and no scene In pessimistic fic-
tion of Tolstoi which approximates to
such contrast. And note, IL you
please, the grim irony Of the paragraph
which reads: "The czar and czarina,
when informed of the extent Of the dis
aster, expressed profound sorrow and
the czar ordered that 1000 roubles be
paid to each bereaved family" as IL
the passing Of money among the few
hundreds Of mourners could undo the
gigantic evil which forces millions to
starve both their bodies and their souls
SO that dynasty Of czars may enjoy
the luxury Of parading before admiring
multitudes the symbols and tokens Of
unequalled wealth. Surely we have
in this strange tragedy the materials
for drama comparable with any that
has ever been evolved by master pens
