Cruelty to children has long been confront

ton us to the reforming of boys who ap-
pear before the police court. Many Of
these youthful offenders are bright and
intelligent and TO commit them to the
Ferris Industrial School means to sur.
round them with greater incentives to
wrong doing, while to commit them to
jails means to associate them with men

TIE COMING I,RIMdRIES.

But one week will elapse before the
voters of the Democratic party will
be called upon to formulate ticket,
and it behoves them to place in the
field one whose merits will insure it's
success. This can be dOne. The list
of announcements, as published, con-
tains the names of those who will
honor the county in any official posi-
ton to which they may be called, ,and
mistake can hardly be made in the
many rumors afloat of the danger of
defeat staring the Democratic party
in the face, but in the light of recent
events we are disposed to look upon
them as among the usual bugaboos
which are conjured up in all cam
paigns. The county is safely and
securely Democratic. and nothing but
recklessness or jealousy can defeat
the party.
Each candidate has of course his
adherents, and the only true and
manly course to pursue, is to lay aside
all bitterness of feeling; and while
making every effort for the success of
II friend, submit gracefully, if that
friend is not chosen to fill place up
on the ticket, and work strenuiously
for the triumphant success of the
ticket in November
There are several things to be con-
sidered in the choice of candidates
which should be carefully deliberated
upon. Among them are availability,
fidelity and thorough capabiIity. In
reviewing the list of those whose
names are most prominently mention
ed, we find that they are almost with
out exception fully qualified and such
being the case, the pangs of individual
defeat may easily be borne.
The greatest enemy of man, is of
ten himself; and this being true of in
lividuals is true of communities.
Defeat can only come to the party
within itself, and little vigilance and
forbearance may prevent that excess
of irritability which leads voters to
absent themselves from the post of
duty at critical hours, or induce them
to refrain from supporting at the gen
eral election the party nominees.
Taking the true status of affairs as
it exists at present, let each voter
calmly consider that the Judgment of
the majority is better than that of the
individual and cheerfulIy (burying all
private disappointments and griev-
ances) abide by the decision mad by
the people at the primaries.

10 thcsa who have heen accustomed
to the Cra wford system.
The conduct of II primary election
under the system adopted by the
County Executive Committee, differs
but slightly from that of Il general
election. 1t is true that there is not,
and cannot be II ticket or tickets,
which present the uames of Il list of
candidates for each Office, bus each
aspirsut for public place will have ii
ticket upon which is printed the
names of set of delegates who will
be relied upon to offer and sustain his
cause in the convention, and these
men, pledged to the support of that
candidate, or in cases of consolidation
to the list OF candidates in such CON
solidation, are to be voted tor i'll the
same manner as were the Individuals
under the Crawford plan; and who
ever succeeds in securing u ma jority
of votes in the Convention for any
position will be the nominee of the
party for that position.
The simplicity of the matter should
be so explained that no one can nisun-
derstand it, and be i'll consequence de
tered from voting. 1t means really no
thing more than exchanging your vote
from the man of your choice to "a set
of men who are delegated TO support
him, and every member of the party
should feel it an imperative duty 10
vote.
The fact of your considering the
primary of no importance, will be 10
excuse for finding fault with the nom
inees and by a childish revenge, eNer-
cised by making yourself IA non voter
at the general election, place yourself
as one of the leading causes of defeat.
If you believe in the principles OF
Democracy, go to the polls on August
| 2Sth and exercise Your privilege OF
having voice in the selection of your
public officials; and whether success
full in having your friends nominated
or not, stand by the ticket and help
| to win a victory.

SECRET1RI SHERMiN'S BLUM
DERS

Secretary of State John Sherman is
giving abundant evidence by his re-
cent utterances that he is in his dot
age. He was appointed to the cabi-
net by President Mckinley so as to
make vacancy in the Senate from
Ohio, which could be filled by the
great campaign manipulation, Mark
Hanna. The folly of this choice is
now evident.
After attempting for years to settle
the Seal-catching question with Eng
land by arbitration, as we'll as to
settle the recent controversy On the
same question, Sherman comes out
with the following in an interview
with a reporter:
England is great country; but it
isn't always safe to assume that she
is ready to follow up every quarrel
with blows. She oftener quarrels
than she fights. 1t would be exceed
ingly difficult for her to fight us all
alone about our seal-catching.
Russia and Japan are i'll similar
position, and any quarrel between
the United States and England on this
score would in all probability involve
| those other two countries.
1t is my opinion that England would
hesitate long time before getting in
TO such scrape.
But do not believe that we will
ever have any serious difficulty with
| England. Our refusal to be intimi-
dated has had a salutary effect"
Such utterances are not calculated
to lead to speedy amicable settle,
ment of the question, and are beneath
the dignity of the high office Of Secre.
tary of State The London Globe
in commenting on the above says
that such remarks could eminate only
| from lunatic or Mr.. Sherman.

TO DEMOCRArLC TO1ERS
