Nixon Resigns Tammanx Leader.hIp.

New York, May 15.-Lewis Nixon,
leader of Tammany Hall for nearly
six months, resigned that position
yesterday at a meeting of the district
leaders, held in Tammany hall. While
the resignation was not entirely un-
expected, it was not thought that Mr..
Nixon would take such positive ac-
tion until a later date, first waiting
the action of the leaders to see if
they would give him vote of conf
dcnce. Instead of this he refused to
allow any vote of confidence and
went so far as to say that he could
no longer retain his self-respect if
he remained as leader

virtues of Salad OIL

Salad oil forms a most useful article
of diet for delicate people. The in
valid who cannot touch cod liver oil
should be encouraged to use freely
mavonnaise dressing, and in eating
salad to pour over it liberal supply
of oil. In cases where the taste for
this is not, it can generally soon be
acquired. For some cases of debility
and weak digestion small doses of oil
will do wonders. Many people have
been able to give up the almost daily
use of drugs by taking instead a des-
sertspoonful of salad oil on going to
bed. If the taste be dislinked it can
be taken with little claret, which will
quite disguise it. In the nursery salad
oil should be used for rubbing into
the chest-back and front - when
there is any tendency to weakness of
the lungs. The. pores of the skin will
absorb it readily, and it will be found
to have nourishing and strengthen
ing effect.-Modes.

Considerable interest is felt by
county officers and their friends as
to how those gentlemen will be af-

1908. In accordance with the amend

a recent State election these Offices
will be filled at the general election

stitution is to be proclaimed and
will be declared effective before that
time, this may be changed. The

after the present terms expire and
will again be eligible after giving up
the office for one term. The terms
of Commissioners of Revenue is
left to the Legislature. IL the latter
body provides for their election by
the people they will not be eligible
for reelection. If by appointment
they can continue to serve if reap
pointed, indefinitely. The terms of

ONE OBJECTION TO THE PLAN.

The primary plan adopted by the
Democratic State Committee at Rich
mond several months ago, land ordered
to be put in force at once, provided
explicitly aud without any exceptions
or reservations that "all voting shall
be viva voce."
If there are merits in the primary
plan, so are there dement's or obiec-
tons. The Inauguration of the plan
will inevitably bring about a return
to the old practice of soliciting votes
at the polling places. Thus will the
voter be besieged by friends of the
candidates, imploring him to vote
for this or that man. In some cases,
where both candidates are personally
known to the voter and in some
cases in which they may be his per-
sonal friends, it may embarrass him
somewhat to make a public choice,
feeling as he must, that his decision
will almost inevitably offend some
one, either the candidate or friend
of the candidate against whom he
votes. This is a small objection,
however, compared to the great one
presented in the personal solicitation
of support.-Richm0nd Dispatch.

An exchange tells of a farmer
who solved the cold storage prob
lem: "He dug a shaft twelve feet
square In the ground. In this shaft
he placed ice every winter after the
ground around had become frozen,
filled the hole nearly to the top. He
had house built over the shaft and
as the warm weather comes on sus
pends his milk and anything he de-
sires to keep at a low temperature
within a few inches of the ice. The
ground around it being frozen, the
ice melts very slowly during the
season, and usually lasts until Sep
tember."

The VALLEY OF SUNSET
BY MRS. V. A. CHoWNING.

BY MRS. V. A. CH0WNING.
My fair critic, if / were clever
novelist l would cloth this little
story with more beautiful language
aud people it with more perfect
characters, but l aspire to give no
more than a true account of things
as they have mirrored themselves in
my mind. The mirror is doubtless
defective, the outline will often be
disturbed, the reflection confused
but there are very few perfect
things in this life. On the Jour
ney from the cradle to the grave
we will learn that we cannot find
many things to suit us in all re-
spects, so l am content to tell my
simple story dreading nothing indeed
but falsity, which, in spite of us,
there is reason to dread. Falsehood
is SO easy, truth so difficult.
Up 10 the "Valiey of Sunset"
only the wind and seasons make
an epoch. TIE fish swan in the
swift stream, the birds circled over
head, the pine-tops rustled be-
meath the stars, the tall bills stood
over all; the beauty of this place was
something wonderful. A stranger
looking over this valley will surely
admire the handiwork of God and
be forced to say if man did make the
city, God surely made this. Pretty
little homes are dotted about but it
is of the Tavern and the girl who
lives there that we are thinking.
Her name is Clara Naming. This
girl is pretty beyond description.
When the valley was full of tourists
in the season, her fathers doors were
open to receive them, and his Inn
was sure to he full to overtlowing,
This bright, beautiful girls views,
which seemed whimsical to her
neighbors, were often admired by
learned people from the towns and
colleges. They talked of Clara
Naming, her beauty and philosophy
She received many invitations to
visit ladies in their handsome city
homes, but nothing could tempt her
to leave her poor old father, the

THE NEW STATE PRIMARY
Eastern Shore Herald.)

NEoSeeFH ScNOF6 n6FUtU.)
| The Democratic State Central Com
mittee adopted the primary election
plan submitted to them by the
special body appointed TO draft some
plan in accordance with the clap
trap instructions of the scant closing
sessions of the Norfolk Convention.
Under the circumstances there was
nothing the committee could do but
adopt some sort of plan. The one
adopted is, however, Objectionable
for several reasons. 1t establishes
the "viva-vcce" method of voting.
This, while barking back to the
good old past, is not likely to give a
perfectly free and unprejudiced vote,
because no employe of a corpora
tion and Others in like situation
would dare publicly TO declare his
vote against the corporation candi-
date. AS the Norfolk Landmark
says, this will offer opportunities for
intimidation, and a man should be
allowed to vote secretly if he so de-
sires. Then, again, no one is al
lowed to be voted for unless his
name is OIL the printed list of those
declaring themselves candidates,
thus shutting out all freedom of ex-
preston of the desires of the indi-
vidual voter. This is kind Of ar
bitrary law that we did not think
would ever be adopted by any body
of Democrats in the world.
The plan provides nothing for
expenses. The result will be that
the State chairman will make notifi-
cation of the time when applications
for candidacy must be fled and the
city and county chairmen will have
to figure out the cost in each mans
district and the candidates will have
to foot the bill, which put at the
low figure of 500 for each county
and city, will make the total cost
$12,500 for the State. In spite of
what Senator Carter Glass saws, we
do not see how tLis can be gotten
around, and instead of the dragon
we have a political octopus whose
tentacles will bind with strength
that no power in the party can ever
break. With such an iron-clad party
Constitution and with no other
"open sesame" than the ready cash,
the poor man, however deserving,
however faithful a veteran in the
party's cause, would be u pariah as
to all party preferment, and the en-
thronement OF some ring will be a
thing eternal and invincible. We
think the whole thing terrible and
wosful blunder- that can have no
We have had trial Of the primary
plan in this county and it has been
found, except with the successful
aspirants and their friends, an abom-
ination and curse and one that is
highly detrimental to the party's
| good.
