UNIFORM PRIMARIES.

The democracy Of Texas will approve tho action OF
the State executive committee in recommending coun
ty primaries on a uniform date
There is much to be said in favor OF local freedom
of action and it may be conceded that local conditions
may differ, but the fact appears that upon the whole
the best results to be obtained by concurrent pr
maries.
In the first place democratic primaries in Texas
are decisive of State policies and State officials All
contests all campaigning and all differences lie within
che party, and when democratic voters speak in the
primaries they determine tho state government for
the next two years Intelligent discussion and consid
crate treatment therefore require both for the
and the candidates, the fullest freedom of debate and
inquiry. Such debate and inquiry impossible with
early and scattering primaries In the second place
there has been deal of talk about Texas machine
and q scheme of hurried action in behalf of this or
that candidate to prevent discussion of this or that
issue, The Post has not been able to discover any
real evidence of such machine but 1t recognizes the
party embarrassment which gossip of this kind causes
End can understand how tho early primary might he
regarded with suspicion Therefore for the sake of
party integrity or party reputation it is well that this
circumstance has been removed
In respect to the authority the last State conyen
tion of the present executive committee to ordor
primaries on uniform date there should be little diff
ference of opinion The last convention was
of duly elected representatives of the party and
sovereign in the matter Of discipline and organization
for the period Of its administration The next conven
ton likewise win be sovereign and can approve or dis
approve the action of the preceding convention or Of
the executive committee which exercises the admins
tratve powers of the convention So far as party An
thority goes, ordering the primaries in this manner Is
clearly within the function of the committee and the
order is party law until it is revised or amended b,
another convention
The members of the committee are to be appaudet
for their catholic spirit in the whole matter The,
have prescribed no coercive measures but have sim

There's a crown of glory waiting
For the optimistic wight.
Who trails shadow,
But irradiates light
From the soul that shines within him
And who tussels, with a grin
With life's dark and heavy curtains
Till he lets the sunshine in. !
Into all lifes darkest corners
Driving out the shades of night
One can steer past lifes obstruction,
When the dark is put TO fight;
One can tackle propositions
That he dared not hope to win.
If he's armed by optimism,
With d broad, aggressive grin
The wight who's always CHEEKY
He whose smile says "Al is weliH
And who ponders this-wise
rs is there not hell ?"
If there is he doesn't sec it
Never sees its lake of fire.
He's another goal TO look to,
And his gaze is fixed up higher
Comes his CHEEKY, hearty "Howdyr
Sympathetic Never mindl |"
And lfe's troubles streak for cover
With a gigglc hitched behind;
And the things that crstwhie troubled
Rocks that in his pathway lay,
Seem to melt in streams of laughter,
And so tinkling far away.
So while we may miss the sages
Men of erudton grand,
Still the edfice they've buldcd
Is of clay, whose base is sand.
But while life lasts shall miss him.
When he's played his little part,
He whose motto, Love and laughter"
Left its impress our heart.

There is no worse animal TO put

cause he is a browser Of the truest
type, but for preparing brush or
timbered land that is to be put into
orchard or any kind Of fruit he has
no equal. No doubt. the Angora Is
the most profitable to keep. but anv
kind of scrub goat will eat brush
