Some Republicans criticise the Journal
because it does not dissect the various as
pirants for nominations now before the
public and tell its readers whom to vote
for. That would be thankless task and
would probably do more harm than good
for, while it might induce some unde-
cided persons TO vote for the Journals cam
diGates, ii would tend 10 consolidate all the
other candidates and their friends against
the favored few and would intensity oppo-
sition which is strong enough already.
Besides, it has always been the boast Of
Republicans that they do their own think
ing and will not be dictated TO. 1t is the
business of the Journal to advocate sound
Republican principles, good government
and honest politics and to support Repub-
lican candidates when they are nominated,
but not to force them on the party.

MUST BE FAIRLY CONDUCTED.

For the same reason that every good clti-
zen should be deeply interested in having
all elections managed fairly and honestly,
every Republican who believes in fair
methods should be interested in having the
primary elections conducted strictly &C
cording to the letter and spirit of the law.
As the chairman of the county committee
says: The purpose of the primary law is
10 give every Republican an opportunity
to cast his vote for the candidates of his
choice and to have that vote regularly
counted This statement of the purpose
might be extended, but it includes all other
definitions. The voting must be confined
to Republicans who live within the voting
districts and the voter must cast his vote
and Immediately leave the voting place.
The officers are all under oath, so that
an officer who violates the law is not only
an oath-breaker, but he is liable to fine
and Imprisonment. The man who attempts
TO vote whose right is not clearly defined
by law becomes a perjurer and is liable
TO fine and imprisonment, the imposition Of
which makes him criminal.
elections is one of the best evidences of
the fitness of community for self-govern-
ment; so the proper management of a
primary election under the present law is
the best evidence of the fitness of a party
to be intrusted with the selection of Of
primary election into good working order.
1t has taken a hundred years to bring the
system of elections to the present state of
perfection. Because the methods of con-
Quoting elections year after year have
failed TO give satisfaction, elections by the
Indeed, when rightly considered, the pri-
mary election is the beginning of govern
ment by the people and the first full
recognition of the right of the people to
make their own government. Under the
old system the people did not institute gov
eminent, but Endorsed or rejected at the
polls two sets of officers which were really
made by irresponsible delegates selected
by irresponsible and really lawess as
semblages. Now we are getting down to the
fundamental principles; the people of a
party name their candidates. and the candi-
dates named by people of one or the other
of the two parties will be elected, make the
laws and execute them.
The immense vote that is sure TO be poled
on Friday may be accepted as evidence
that the Republicans are DESTROYS of Sc
lecting their candidates. Whatever
complaint shall be made elsewhere it may
be sure that none will come from the Re
publican voters as a body, since those who
are intelligent will discover that the pri-
mary simply takes back to the fountain
head the power Of the people TO establish
their own government. For that reason
the Journal urges it's Republican readers
who are qualified to vote to give some at
tentiOn to the primary. by exerting their in
fluence to have them conducted in strict
accordance with TIE law; and that they use
their influence with Republican neighbors
to induce them TO vote for men whom they
regard the fttest for the offices.

In his speech in the Republican confer
ence Tuesday night Representative Long,
of Kansas, reminded members that the
House is not the whole thing in the settle
ment of the Cuban reciprocity question. 1t
is quite true. as he said, that after the
Cuban government is established, as it will
be in a few months, the President, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate,
can negotiate a treaty for the annexation
of Cuba, as was recently done in the case
of the Danish West Indies, and the matter
can be consummated without even consult
ing the House. This should make the beet

The decision rendered by the Supreme
Court in the suit locally known as the Min
turn case has been expected by all who
have given the matter some thought. 1t
does not require lawyer to see that the
primary election law passed by the last
Legislature does not apply to the case OF
joint senator elected by the counties Of Ma
rion and Morgan. The first section Of the
law makes it obligatory on counties lin
which there is located city with popu-
lation of $1,000 or more" and for 1.-The nom
nation of candidates for any office in any
county. city. town, township or municipal
ity' In counties in which there is no city
having a population of $1,000 or more it is
optional with the political committees to
adopt the primary election plan or not. The
law is, therefore, obligatory in Marion
county and optional in Morgan. But it is
only obligatory in Marion county in nomi-
mating candidates for county, city, town,
township or municipal offices, and the two
counties of Marion and Morgan together DO
not come under either of these designa-
tions. Provision for the nomination of
JOINT senators is mace IN otner sections OF
the law which prescribe the manner of
electing delegates TO nominating conven-
tions. Under the law it is clearly the prov
ince of the precinct committeeman, after
organizing. to decide how nominations shall
be made. The law makes no provision for
a joint primary election, and the suggestion
that joint senator to be voted for by the
people of two counties be nominated in that
way borders on the grotesque

MAN-ol-WAR Hawks


Feathered HiEhwaymen That DO
Their Fishing In the Air.
The man-o'war hawk is a somewhat
large bird and an expert fisher, but he
does most of his fishing in the air.
When the BOBBY bird comes home from
abroad, he finds the man-o'-war hawk
''layin' for him." and, however persist
emily he may seek to escape by dashing
fight, with much screeching and
screaming, he finds that before he can
safely set foot on the land he must dis
gorge fish or two, which the swift
pursuer adroitly catches in the air. 1t
seems, however, to be generally I'M
derstood as a modus vivendi between
the fisher and the pirate birds that
their contentious were only on the
wing and that once ON land they
should dwell peacefully in their sepa-
rate camping grounds.
The boobies are awkward and I'M
wieldy on land and may be easily cap
tured. They rarely seek to escape when
man approaches; but, accustomed to
meet the demands of their familiar en-
envy, the man-owar hawk, by disgorg-
ing fish in the air, they frequently re-
sort to the same process and lay at the
feet of the intruding stranger what
stock of fish they have available. The
man-o'war hawks turned this practice
to their own advantage by following
after any man who might appear
among the nesting birds, circling in the
air just overhead, ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give up as a peace offering. The
man-o'-war hawks We're generally ca
ger for anything and would hover
closely, ready to take from the hand of
man whatever he might toss in the

swiftly snatched a notebook which lay
for a moment on the ground and sailed
away, dropping it, however, on finding
it to be neither fish nor rat.-Century
