A recent writer has said that no
man has new idea or conception
after he passes the age of thirty, that
all his accomplishment after that
age are merely the developments Of
the idea conceived in the friendship of
youth. In other words, the man in
middle age or old age is building on
the architectural plans of his youth.
This may be true, though it is such
doubtful proposition that it would
be almsot impossible for it's author to
prove it. Again, one hears much of
the "age of young men" and of the
theory that man over fifty years of
age has lost his usefulness. This, of
course, is an extravagant or exaggrat-
ed way of putting the truth that
energy and push belong more especial
" to youth but it is by no means true
to say that young men accomplish
everything of Importance. In fact,
a little excursion into the history of
almost any time OF thought or action
will be sufficient to demonstrate the
recklessness of the statement. In
many instances perhaps in the major
ity Of instances, men do not complete
their period Of preparation until they
reach middle age. Then, with ripen-
ed minds and trained words, they are
enable to meet and handle vexed ques-
tions without the danger OF rashness
or inexperience or to create master
pieces in art Of Literature free frozn
the iiaws Of youth. 4 may be, how
ever, that their finished masteipietS1

WHO OPPOSES PRIMARY?

Why should any man or body of men
be afraid of the present primary cleo
tion law? Is it possible that they
regard the white people of Mississip-
pi as incapable Of self-government !?
Has the time come when the earnest
honest, wealth producers Of the state
the men who fight its battles in
war, pay the taxes and maintain the
government, are incapable of electing
their officers? Why does any man or
class of men prefer convention to
nominate State officers to a primary
election? Is it because the ''good of
the most would thereby be subserved !?
Or it is because they wish to frame out
the offices and put men therein who
will serve tho interest of the Boss
rather than the people? believe it
is for the latter. I believe the main
opposition to the primary election
system is based upon the fact that a
few men will not be permitted to
name the officers and then run the
government for their own selfish gain.
It occurs to me that the time has come
for the PLAIN people to take hand
and give the Boss Crokers of Missis-
sippi to understand that their services
are no longer needed. We have had
enough of it. Greenwood Common

The Sentinel heartily endorses the
above paragraph from Editor Varda
man. That has always been our posi-
ton OH this question. We favor the
primary because by that method of
selecting candidates the mass of the
people make the selections, while the
convention plan means that the same
work is done by limited few. Gen.
orally the scheming, tricky politician
opposes a primary and wants conven-
ton. He is afraid to leave the case
in the hands of the voters at large,
choosing rather to have few to settle
his case. The man who demands a
convention will do to watch. He may
be all right, but there is much room
for doubt. If he is afraid for the
entire people to consider his case, he
ought not to receive the nomination.
The primary is the fairest, best and
most satisfactory method, and is only
carrying out the true idea of demo-
cracy-to let the people run the gov
eminent and choose its officers. By
all means let's retain the primary in
stead of going back to the convention,
which has given rise to more under
hand work and political dishonesty
than any thing else. It is true a pri-
mary run without any legal restric-
tions is sometimes productive of rot
enness and dishonesty, but the last
legislature overcomes that objection
by legalizing the primary. Grenada

TERMS OF THE BOER ST
RENDER.

London, June o-lt is officially an
nounced by the British foreign office
that all the Boer delegates have &C
copied the British terms of surrend-
er. BY the terms of the treaty of
peace the Beers gain: Restoration of
farms in the condition they were in
before the war. Restoration of con-
flScated property. Remuneration for
property destroyed and stock taken.
Permission to retain their arms.
Equal rights of citizenship and stuff
rage with British inhabitants. Rev
ocation of Kitchener's Punishment
proclamation. The Beers lose: Their
independence. The South African
Republic and Orange Free states
become crown colonies of Great
Britain. The great struggle between
the Beers and the British was open
ed on october II, 1890. 1t lasted
for two years twenty four days and
has cost Great Britain $500
900 in money, besides the lives of
fully S 900 men. What it has cost
the Beers financially will probably
never be known any more than
will the total number of their dead
and deported. The Beers went in to
the field with approximately 10000
men. 1t is known that their force
have been reduced to not more
than 5000.

GLASS CASE AGAIN.
YaIe's Football Quandary Discussed
From Harvard Point of View.

YaIe's Football Quandary Discussed
From Harvard Point of View.
The following analysis of the Glass
eligibility case" appeared in the New
York Post last evening:
The Glass incident at Yale is again
causing some little talk, and it is now
asserted that the giant guard will not
be eligible to play next season. From
the Harvard standpoint, taking the
case of King this year, the salient points
in the case are that Glass played two
years at Syracuse; that he represented
Yale in 1901 on the football eleven, de-
spite the fact that he did not participate
in the two championship contests, and
that he played in every game during
the season just closed. Under the in
years competition in sport he is clearly
ineligible to play another year.
In her statement to the public Har-
ward indirectly offers the case of King
to prove the CrimS0n's contention that
Glass is ineligible. The cases offer an
alOgous points. If there is a presump-
ton in favor of one, however, it certain
ly is on Kings side. Harvard admits
that King played at least two games
lit might have been more) in 1898, on
a team which was published as a uni
versity eleven, and which was support
ed by students and members of the fac
ulty' Here Harvard distinctly raises
the question of representation. The
Cambridge institution considers that
inasmuch as it was a university team,
supported by students and members Of
the faculty. and published as varsity
team, King represented the University
of Indiana in the two games in which he
participated as much as though he had
played through an entire season s
schedule. And there seems to be no
other Interpretation to be placed upon
his action"
No Yale football players are in the
city, but Walter Camp and the Yale
undergraduates on the conference COM
mittee deny that the cases of Glass and
King are analogous, and Yale's side Of
the affair will appear later.
