A GREAT MAN is DEAD.

Ex-President Harrison died at his In
dianapolis home on Wednesday last,
after weeks illness, from pneumonia.
This untimely death removes from the
busy walks of life one of the most con-
spicuous characters of modern times.
General Harrison was statesman and
gentleman of the noblest impulses and
loftiest character; man who in public
or private life dared to do dis duty. He
was never popular with the reigning
politicians of the country because, when
placed in a public position he preferred
to.serve the people and do his duty in
preference to doing the selfish bidding
of those who prostitute honor and CON
science for personsl gain. No scandal
ever attached to his official garments
The United States never had in the
presidential chair more exalted char
acter, or profound statesman thai
General Benjamin Harrison, for whose
memory a grateful people pay respect
flll homage

pARALYzE THE POLITICIANS POWER.

How would it please those gentlemen
who are opposing the primary election
BILL to have law that would require
them to vote for delegates to conven-
ton that would elect all public officers
instead of nominating them9 If they
would be displeased with such law,
then why should they Oppose PROPOSE
tion tc amplify :heir privileges by per-
uniting them to elect their candidates
by ballot as well as their officers, and
have no delegates at all, either to repre-
sent them or misrepresent them The
fact is, politicians shrink from the silent
ballot, which is the only method ever
devised to discoI er the true wishes of
the people; and the same objections are
being urged now against the primary
election law that we're urged against
the Australian ballot We never had a
pure election that gave full aud free
expression Of the people in the election
or their officers until we got the Austria
liam ballot and we will never have a full
expression of the people in the nomina-
ton Of public officers until we get the
primary election law. 1t is not the
law these objections are aimed at but
the subjugation of the will of the people
to the chicanery, dictation and fraudu-
lent manipulations of officious politi-
clans. We are entitled to the same
constitutional right to say by our ballot
who we want to vote for, as we have to
vote for them. Dodgeville Chronicle.

NOMINATION PAPERS FILED.

On Saturday last Judge D. o. Mahoney
filed with the county clerk, his nomina-
ton papers as non partisan candidate
for probate judge of Vernon county, TO
succeed himself. in which official ca
pacity he is serving his first term. The
papers contain more than one thousand
signatures of voters from all sections of
the county. regardless of political bs-
lief. Tine day has passed when othe
nomination certificates may be filed, and
as predicted several weeks ago by the
CENSOR, there VIII be no opposition &c
the reelection of Judge Mahoney, a
very proper endorsement of an efficient
and deserving official
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1901-03-20

The CENSOR calls attention to the
Following resolution which formed a
plank liz the platform adopted by a
unanimous vote of the Gre hundred and
twenty delegates in the republican coun-
ty convention held in Viroqua on August
4th, last:
Resolved, That the delegation 70 the state
convention is instructed to advocat and
vote for the adoption OF plank binding the
republican party 70 a primary election law
which win secure 10 all voters pure, free and
direct exercise of their rights and duty in
the nomination of Candidates for public office,
ana protect such car didates from the neces-
sity, xisting under the present system. OF an
expenditure Of time and money, which to
many worthy and able men, Is prnhinittve
and which places premium on the lilegiti-
mate use OF promises OF office and financial
gain.
Similar, and still stronger resolr- ions
were adopted by the senatorial AID as
sembly conventions WI ich follow I'd. 1t is
a qualification to know thai bnere are
few republicans in Vernon county so
lost to honesty in political matters as to
ask their representatives in the legisla-
ture to repudiate the unanimously ex-
pressed instructions and turn their backs
on sacred promise made when they
accepted such trust AS between serv-
ing the constituencies, to whom they
are responsible, and few highly salar
led federal office-holders and sore-headed
would-be boss politicians their duty is
plain
The primary election principle is sim
pie and plain. 1t would confer upon
every elector the privilege Of voting
direct for every candidate he desired to
serve him in an official capacity. 1t de-
prives the professional slstemaker. at
conventions and caucuses, of his occupa-
ton of debating nominations, and there S
where the rub comes

The glib gentlemen now going through
the farming districts is not trying TO sell
lightning rods He has gold brick in
the shape of a city made argument that
the primary election law will be very
bad thing for the residents of the rural
districts. La Crosse Chronicle.
1t is t-dly heart-rending, this deep
affection for the country voter, just now
demonstrated by the g.. 600 to SO, 900 sal
aried government Office holders and their
monopoly organs. If these subsidized
elements had thought that the primary
election law would limit the power of the
rural voter you may be sure they would
espouse the law. The power of direct
vote for candidates by the rural element
is exactly what they fear.

PANAMA OR

Energetic efforts have been made
rec'ntly to promote the popular
ity of the Panama route for a
transisthmian canal in preference
to the proposed Nicaragua route,
and these efforts have had effect.
Mr.. Hanna, who is accepted by
the public as a reliable indicator
of the administrations wishes and
policy, has become an open advo-
cate of the Panama route.
It is freely predicted. both in
Washington and New York, that
the Isthmian Canal commission in
the report which it is expected to
make next July will either &C.
tually recommend the Panama
project, OF make such a strong
showing Of the difficulties in the
way of the Nicaragua canal that
it will be abandoned,
In its report to Congress at its
last session the commission said:
"In view of these facts, aud
particularly in view of the diff
culties of obtaining the necessary
rights, privileges and franchises on
the Panama route, and assuming
that Nicaragua and Costa Rica
recognize the value of the canal to
themselves and are prepared to
grant concessions on terms which
are reasonable and acceptable to
the United States, the commis-
sion is Of the opinion that the
most practicable and feasible
route for an isthmian canal to be
under the control and manage
ment and ownerehip of the United
States is that known as the Nicar-
aqua route"
Now that the difficulties" re.
ferred to in this reports are out

recommend the Panama route

1t may be that we shall con-

stead of the Nicaragua canal.
