GREATER New York is yearning for

in brief sent to the New York legis-
lature gives many reasons why that
city should have a different law gov
erning its liquor traffic: He says: "Un:
der Democratic forms Of government a
law is not permanently enforceable by
elected authorities where large num-
Der of persons in the locality do not
consider the act forbidden as immoral
in itself and are unwilling to accord
obedience to the law. New York is a

DIR. HENRY VAN DYKE, professor OF
English literature, at Princeton uni
versity, says that there is no distinc-
ton between English and American
literature, the distinctions are on geo.
graphical lines only. DR.. Van Dyke
predicts in the future the coming of
the greatest writer's who ever lived.
In remarking on our manner OF living
at the the present time he said he did
not think we were living too fast, but
the trouble with us is that we are liv-
ing on too low a plane, and" yet he has
no fear as to the results, for there are
a multitude Of people whose desires
and ambitions are set toward the
things that are best.& He. remarked:
''Nothing is more amazing to me here
in the west than the tremendous
growth of it's universities and colleges.''

PRL1fARYsELECTIONS..

I t-3E go
Last week the primary election law
in Indiana was tried for the first time
in the nomination Of congressional,
Legislative, county and township tick
cts. 1t was estimated by the Republic
cans that from Is TO 80 per cent Of the
normal Republican vote had been cast.
In the contests for the, principal county
offices very hard fights were made as
the nomination is equivalent to- an
election.t*,A report says: &+
Candidates resorted to all kinds Of adver-
tising methods, and the newspapers for weeks
were filled with display advertisements. telling
of the unusual merits Of certain men. The first
real test Of the direct primary has demon
strated that it has some defects that probably
will be remedied by the next legislature Can
didates complain that each one has built up
complete organization, and that it is too ex-
pensive They have to see all the voters under
the present law, instead of few hundred dele
gates in the case. Of a delegate convention.
The main sentiment however, is that the
direct primary is here to stay and when prop
erly amended. will be entirely satisfactory.
On Tuesday;of this week St., Paul
tried the new primary election law for
the first time and the results seem to
have been very satisfactory in the
main. There were about 1900. who
voted at the primary election, as
against q, 022 votes cast in the city of
St. Paul at the last State election. The
provision of the law requiring a man
to swear to his political convictions if
called upon to: do so, no doubt deferred
many from going to the polls. It is
charged that there was much whole
sale repeating in down town precincts
by the Democrats, but this may be
magnified to some extent. The St.
Paul Dispatch says:
In the great majority OF cases the voters were
unknown to the judges and could vote either
ticket without the possibility of challenge. In
many precincts the vote bears no proportion at
all to the political complexion of the district,
showing that Republicans often voted Demo-
cratic tickets, to help out their friends, and
vice versa.
It would not have affected the result a. par
ticle if the voters were given both tickets I'M
der the Minneapolis system and were allowed
to be as secret as they pleased about which one
they voted. There would only have been this
change that the vote would probably have been
greater. L. ga
The Dispatch says editorially: ''sThe
main thing, the one of prime impor-
lance, is that the new method demon
strates its superiority to the old so con-
clusively that all future steps will be
towards its improvement. No back
ward step will ever be taken.'
As a result of the primary election
Robert A. Smith becomes the choice of
the Democrats for mayor while Frank
A. Doran was chosen the standard
beare" of the Republicans.

WHILE the smallpox, that has been
so common over the country for the
last three years, has existed in mild
form, and the percentage Of deaths
very light, it is claimed that the dis
ease is increasing in virulence in many
places. There is no occasion for alarm.
but there is one thing that should not
be passed over without serious con-
sideration, and that is the matter %of
absolute and rigid quarantine in all
places where the disease exists, re-
gardless of the fact that it is mild in
type. The discovery. &of a very bad
case of smallpox near Freer in this
county, shows that unless the authori-
ties exercise very rigid measures, that
the first thing we know we will be up
against the real thing. The only safe.
guard is to stamp out the: disease by
keeping it from spreading as much as
possible. The public look to and ex-
pect the health authorities to do all.in
their power to check the,spread Of the
disease. The State has made provis-
ions for aiding local authorities, and
counties are supposed to bear the ex-
pense of all guarantees, but it must
also be remembered that the county or
any community is not, going to pay a
lot OF personal bills incurred by parties
who may be so unfortunate as to be
quarantined, where they are perfectly
able to pay these bills themselves. It
does not follow that because one hap.
pens to be quarantined for smallpox.
that the county or State is going to
pay for groceries, fuel, messengers,
etc., unless the said party or parties
are destitute and are objects of charity.

tion Of communities and furnish the
Drawn and brain Of the world. sl 5sE
Now and then we find the three-story
people and the people Of the still
higher stories, but the higher theyspQ,eet
the further are they removed from the
average Of human attributes. Persons
Of more than an average degree Of in
telligence who have superabundance
of brain are in this class. Sometimes
they are top. heavy and a little out Of
plumb Then we call them cranks,
theorists and dreamers. They tower
above their neighbors, but there is
great danger in these upper-story in
dividuals Of too much brain elongation.
They are apt to become all stock and
thresh out at harvest a very small
amount of grain. We even find the
sky-scraper men who tower way up in
the world in theirrown estimation and
you have to take the elevator to the
left to reach them, and when you get
up to where they are about all there is
to be seen is roof garden @s.
Then there are the fiat people
who remind us of modern flats. They
are principally hot air and steam and
are awfully impregnated with odor of
their neig hors. They are all walls and
roof and their faces are devoid of frank
ness and expression. Their eyes re-
mind you of electric buttons which
have to be punched in order to get any
expression or response. IT..
And so we might go. on and mention
the vagabond, the gambler and the
hypocrite anda host of others. Truly
the study of human architecture is a
great one.

HMf4N HOUSES.

A personality or Individual called
self, designated either in the masculine
or feminine gender, is in many respects
like the human habitation that we call
house. AS houses differ in ARCHITECT
ture and inside finish so do the indi-
viduals who inhabit them. There are
one-story houses and one-story men,
and women also, as of course the lesser
are always included with the greater.
The; one-story house is low on the
ground and is almost lost amid the
taller buildings around it,. The one
story man hugs the earth pretty close
and is ''of the earth earthly" He is
low in morals and low in spirituality.
Being so close to the earth he is apt to
be coarse and is constantly shaded by
those around him who tower above
him in all essentials of true manhood
and citizenship. He gets little sun
light and the animals and insects of
Nocturnal habits haunt his nature. He
is in other words darkened individual
and breeds the germs of deterioration
and decay. Once in a while an ell may
be added to the one-story mans nature
but it does not affect any material
change in him. To-. .. ,-.
There are also many persons who re-
semble the house that was commenced
on the piece-meal plan. Back on the
rear OF the lot it stands, the rear end
of what was to be q spacious and COM
Portable home. but the, owner got up
the two-story rear portion and it stands
the same yesterday, to-day and forever
with its bleak and unfinished front
where the boards seem to stare at you
in mute appeal. There are many hui
man houses of this plan. They repre-
sent both good and bad intentions.
Some are the aftermath of the wild
oat% harvest, while: others represent the
premature decay Of good intentions,
wbiles others .aresioef those who were
unfortunate and broke. down under
some heavy burden. .e-'~-' .
The two-story house is the most COM

There is a roominess and cozineess to

THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE.


this week to the proceedings of the
farmers institute held in Princeton last
week, and we believe in doing this we
are placing before our readers matter
that is of great value to them. Of
course those who were fortunate
enough to attend all the sessions of the
institute will find in the brief synopsis
we give little of any particular inter-
est, as in the boiling down process we
are obliged to rob the interesting talks
of much meat. The institute was the
first held in Princeton in two years
and it was great success The prac-
tical farmers who composed the corps
of instructors are men who know Just
what they are talking about, as they
are farmers who have made a signal
success of the science of the soil, and
they are willing that others should
know their methods, and learn some
thing from their experiences. Such
men as Terry, who redeemed the worn
out soil of Ohio and made it blossom
as the rose, Van Dresser of New York,
who has mastered the science of farm
ing and in all it's branches, McKeen of
Maine, farm student and thinker, and
Fairfield, of Iowa, who talked about
potatoes, not to forget our own noted
agriculturists, Trow, expert dairyman
and farmer, and Henry, who has made
hog raising such a success, and who
knows a. thing or. two about other
branches of. farming-men of this
stamp are the men who are by hard
work and study advancing agriculture
to it's position as one of the sciences.
It is true that much of the talks made
at the institute in Princeton may not
be practical in many ways for farmers
in this particular section, the char
acter of the soil, climate, etc., having
much to do with the methods of farm
ing, but there are few very vital
topics that will apply with equal force
here, such as the matter of purity of
strain in breeding, strong, vigorous
vitality in animals, feeding methods,
that for maintenance and the other for
profit. The value of good pure water
for stock, even for chickens, and this
is matter that many farmers over
look. Remember the value of the dust
blanket for fields, the value of harrow
ing, and another very important thing,
the value of wedding. More than ..one
farmer has been made poor by weeds
alone. Turn them under and make
them of some value to the soil instead
Of an injury Then there is the matter
of manure, both dry and liquid, and
the great value manure is to. the soil.
The value of an institute such as has
been held here cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents. It costs the State
$13, SOC. per year to hold these institutes
and distribute the institute book, but
the worth to the State cannot be COM

Died. at her home on Sheets
Run, Tyler county, w. Va, Feb
ruary the 23rd, 1902. Sophia Jane
Martin, wife of Sidney Martin, and
daughter Of James and Julia A.
Marrow. Was born In 1852, and
was married to Sidney Martin In
1860. To this union were born
four children, two boys and two
girls. One girl and one boy have
preceded her to the other shore.
She was converted shortly after her
marriage. She has been an invalid
for twenty. five years. andall the time
she never murmured, and all was
we'll. She always had good word
for everyone, and In the hour of
grief and pain she leaned upon her
God. She leaves an aged mother,
three sisters, three brothers and
loving companion, who were al
ways with her to try to alleviate her
suffering, and kind daughter and
loving son and a host of friends to
mourn her loss, and her father and
two children gone before, awaiting
her on the other shore. The Rev.
Dean conducted appropriate serv-
Ice at the Boiles'.. Chapel, and then
the body was laid to rest by the
side of her two children, till the
resurrection morn.
She Is dead and we moisten the
mound In the cemetery above her
form with our tears. which are
painful tokens, but still most holy
of our affections. We must bow
our heads In submission to the
mandate from on high which called
her from us, but we exclaim In
sad, sad accents that awful word
farewell" until we meet again
where parting Is unknown.
