ny ALL MEANS A pRrsianY.

1t is said that there is q wide differeac
of opinion among the local politicians as
to what method should be employed in
selecting the party candidates for the
Constitutional Convention whether by pre-
ciTfct meetings, precinct primaries, a gen.
eral primary or a general convention.
There ought not 10 be any two opinions
on this subject. The candidates should be
selected by q primary election, and a great
mistake will be made if that plnn be not
adopted. In I,ichrnond the nomination will
be equivalent to an election. and the only
opportunity that Democrats will have of
expressing their choice will be in the nomi-
nation We should. therefore, by all
mems, have an election for the nomina-
tion of candidates. in other words, a pri-
mary election
1t has oeen antimafed from time TO time,
hero, there and everywhere in the State,
that an effort will be made on the part
of the politicians to Tsuck the Constitu-
1ional Convention, but if this effort sue
ceeds It will be through the fault of the
people There ought 40 be the fullest and
freest expression on this subject, as the
only issue involved is of a purely personal
character. " has already been decided to
hold a Constitutional Convention. and the
only thing now to do is te select the dele
gates The character of the Convention
will be determined by the character of the
delegates. and the people in each and every
community should exercise the greatest
care in unalling their selections SO as to
get the very best material in the Common
wealth.
Ward meetings ana nominating conven-.
Lions are never quite satisfactory w!tere
there is a contest Some people Will not
attend such meetings for reasons sufficient
TO themselves, and even when the attend
arNce is full there are ways OF ananipula-
ting nominating conventions 50 as to de-
feat the Will of the majority. We do not
mean TO say that any such attempts would
be made in Richmond, but we do say that
the people should take every s,recaution
against them. IF "a primary election be
held each and every Democrat may so to
the polls and express his choice OF can
didates by ballot, and no on.a need know
how he votes. It has been determined, we
believe. TO have a primary in Richmond
for the selection Of delegates to the Cub
ernatoriiG Convention II is all the more
necessary that such a means be employed

tdonal Convention, for. as We have said.

INDECENT PICTURES.

The Times is not prudish, but we pro-
test against the lewd and indecent pic
lures in certain illustrated papers that
are being displayed at various SEMI
public places in this community.
Such publications ought not TO be tole-
rated. They are filled FROM cover 10
cover with pictures that appeal to the
basest instincts Of men and boys, and it
is our deliberate opinion that such pic
lures not only have demoralizing in
fuence. but that they are indirectly re-
sponslhIe for that crime which so often
proroSes iynching.
These pictures, or pictures like them.
are sometimes cut out and displayed as
advertisements or otherwise. They are
made for a purpose. they are conceived
In iniquity and they are vicious and de-
moralizing in their influence. 1t is a sub
ject which We cannot discuss in public
print as freely as we could wish. but it
seems to us that this hint should be suf-
ficiont to arrest the attention of the au-
thorities and to bring about a needful
reform.

Treasurys order imposing discrtminat-S
ing duty on Russian sugar imported by
the United States has caused something
of a sensation In the manufacturing
world. This is not surprising, as our
exports of goods OF this description to
Russia during the past year amounted
10 about $50. 900, and the addition to
the duty. it is thought, will prove to be
practically prohibitory.
Doubtless the whole matter Will be aIl-s
iustcd to the satisfaction OF both nations,
but the incident is instructive. We can
not expect to shut ourselves in by high
tariff wall and yet to have the markets
of other nations thrown open to our
goods. There must be reciprocity. We
must deal literally with others If we
would, have them deal literally with US.
1t has been demonstrated beyond per-
adventure that we are able to make the
very best goods at the lowest possible
cost and sell them in foreign markets III
competition with foreign manufacturers.
Generally Speaking, we do not need any
high tariff to protect our manufacturers
against TIE loIe!StieiS. al N''"s " ~
and all that our manufacturers can rea-
sonably ask is the right to trade freely
in the outside markets, and if that priVl-
lege can be secured there need be no fear
as to the result. If there is any nation
on earth whose interest it is to have
trade in all parts of the world as Tree
as possible that nation is the United
States. and we should set the eXain1
pie of liberality.
1t is to the interest of the people OF TINS
country that we should have an extern
sive import trade as well as an extensive
exnort trade. II is to our interest to
have foreigners send their goods here,
especially if we expect to build up our
shining interests and our carrying
trade. When we load an American YES
sci with goods for a Russian port the
vessel should bring cargo OF RUSSIAN
goods back to the United States. :" e

they have goods that we want, ana the
interest OF both nations is promoted

cha7,se of trade The old sayirg that a
fair exchange is no robbery has very
bread significance.
