ITS FURY SPENT
The Storm Fast Disappearing in the
 Atlantic

Washington, September 12.-The great West India storm which has been the cen- ter of meteorological interest for the past twelve days is fast disappearing into the Atlantic by way of Cape Breton Island, the barometer at Sydney tonight reading % 02 inches South to west gales have re- suited from this storm, and today they extend along the entire coast from New Jersey northward, Boston reporting max imum velocity of 52 miles an hour from the West and New York, GA miles from the West. During Tuesday night maximum velocity of 80 miles an hour was reported at Buffalo. But little rain accompanied the storm after 1t left the upper lake re- zion. It has, however, except in the South, caused a marked modification of the high temperatures which have so long persisted over the eastern portion of the country.

 awful night in the lighthouse Saturday night. The supply of fresh water was soon exhausted and an effort was made to se- cure water by catching the rainwater in buckets suspended at the top of the light house. The experiment was a success in 2 way, but it demonstrated a remarkable hciden to show the force of the wind. The bucket was soon filled with water, but it was salty and could not be used. Several attempts finally resulted in fresh water supply to quench the thirst of the excited refugees. The salt water spray was shot skyward over 130 feet and mingled with the tainwater that fell in the buckets. From the top of the light tower some of the more yenturesome storm sufferers viewed the de- structive work of the wind on Galveston Island.
 Twelve dead bodies were recovered near the lighthouse.

and Bank Hook.


The full dinner pail OF the American
workingman continues to excite indig-
nant spasms among the Bryanites Mr..
Bryan's Eastern organ confesses that the
dinner pail Is full. but 1t complains that to
have his dinner pail full the American
wage-earner must work 10 III H. We
admit that. We admit that to be happy

must all work TO get money, unless we

In our mouths. 1t always will be.
What all American citizens, barring the
anarchists and the gentlemen tourists
who habltually travel for their health
on the trucks OF freight cars, want is
plenty OF work, and they viii take care

To the protest that under the present
diabolic American system people must

A New Primary System.

The dispatch announcing the success
full working OF the new primary law in
Minneapolis VIII be of general interest.
because II is a movement along the
line of reform In election machinery
that promises, II successful, to be as
momentous as the adoption of the Aus
tralian ballet system. The revised pri-
mary system is. in effect, the applica-
ton Of the principle of the Australian
ballot to the primary election; instead
of voting for delegates TO nominating
convention, the electors cast their bal
lots for candidates direct. The first re-
port is fiattering. showing that larger
vote was polled than at the last gen.
eral election, and candidates were nam
ed for all the offices to be filled in No
vember
The complaint made against modern
lection of candidates Is. in many In
stances, taken out of the hands OF the
people. AS a community becomes thick
ly settled and Its political organization
is perfected. what is known as the ma
chine developes. This is a compact
body OF leaders whose business It is to
organize voting force and bring II out
to the primaries, to secure the choice
of certain delegates already slated for

essary for the voters not In sympathy
with the movement to be as carefully
organized and to have their opposing
states ready; and this rarely happens.
The result Is that nominations for Of
flee are determined practically by a few
men; and in many Eastern states the
voters, when election day comes, have
found themselves limited to choice be-
tween two candidates neither of whom

few hours and then disbanding. cam
not be held to a proper accountability.
To remedy this. to bring the nominal
ton as well as the election OF candi-
dates close to the people, is the object
OF the new system. The primary cleo
ton takes the place of the delegate con-
vention for nominations. The voters
register. under the state law. as they
do for a general election. At the prl-
mary the voter marks on his ballot his
choice for the various offices instead OF
list OF delegates. The persons select
ed In this manner by the voters become
the regular party candidates, and the
wishes Of the people are thus fairly as
certained and fully complied with. There
Is no room for the combinations OF the
convention. no opportunity for the ex-
erclse OF influences with which the del
egate convention in this country has
not been entirely unfamiliar. There
has been little criticism Of the prlncl-
pie OF the new primary method, but
much doubt OF It's praeticabillty as a
working system. II the favorable re-
turns are suhstantiated by later ara

adoption viii begin In almost every
state Of the Union.
