IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE

IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE.
The adoption OF the primary system
By the Democrats and Populists and
the equitable division Of offices, dis
poses Of all possible disturbing ques-
tions and leaves the way open to the
people to secure the candidates they
desire, without any fear OF ready
made states. and without any danger
Of any undue influence.
With a county ticket satisfactory
to the voters. there can be no ques.
ton but that the chances for success
are very favorable. The natural ma
jority is on the side of the combined
ticket and there is no reason in the
world why the proper men should not
be nominated under the primary sys-
TEN and elected next fall
Every man should attend the prim
airy election and register his opinion
az the same time making up his mind
that II all the particular individuals
he would like to see nominated are
rot placed on the ticket, he will still
give his support to the men his party
as whole thought best to name Tor
The offices. This is merely one Of the
necessary incidents OF organized &C
ton without which no great work can
be accomplished.
The Republican county ticket is ex
ceptionally weak this time being com
posed almost entirely Of second tern
men who showed their slate through
their convention against the will o
the larger number Of their delegates
This they did by means Of secret o.
ganlzation and sheer force before tn
other delegates could get a chance &

RACIAL TgNAcITY oE jews.

The recent funeral of Rabbi Jacob
Joseph the head OF the orthodox He
brews of the United States at New
York, which was attended by 10000
Jews, calls to mind the wonderful
race tenacity Of this truly remarkable
people.
For thousands of years they have
lived in foreign lands, have been sub
icct to every species of insult, op-
preston and tyranny that the mind Of
man could devise, but through it all
have, not only retained their racial
and religious integrity, but managed
generally TO keep just little ahead
OF the people whom they sojourned in
financial way.
Internarriages with other nations
have been very rare and the old tes-
lament religion has been both preach
ed and practicel in It's purity. These
two things have kept the race distinct
no matter where it went.
It's well known thrift has been the
cause Of much Of its trouble. The
expulsion of the race from Russi
was largely due to the envy created
by the vast accumulation Of wealth.
That the anti-Jewish spirit should
prevail in New York to the extent OF
interruptng a funeral and bring on
vast street fight viii come as sur
prise to many 1t can not be said tc
accord with our ideas Of freedom.
It must, however, be borne In mind
that, New York is not a strictly
American community like Oklahoma
where such thing would never b
thought of.
The history of the Jewish people
from the earliest times until now, 4
fraught with themes Of deepest inter
est They understand much about hoS
to live and get the best there is out o
life.

VOTING MACHINES.
Before They Caa Be Adopted The State
Constitution Mast Be Amended.

Before They Caa Be Adopted The State
Constitution Must Be Amended.
The constitution Of Indiana re-
quires that "all votes shall be by
ballot" II is held, therefore, that
until the State constitution is
amended voting machines cannot
be legally used in Indiana.
No voting machine yet invented
will tske prepared ballot from the
hand Of the voter and deposit ii and
register it according TO law. The
secrecy Of the ballot is not protect
ed by any machine yet invented.
Voting machines are in use in
New York because the constitution
of that State, framed in 1894, pro-
vided that they might be adopted
by local authority. Some Of the
machines have given satisfactory
service in recording and counting
the votes, but their use is not pos
ible in Indiana under our funda-
mental law
Until q machine more perfect
than any now in use is invented and
thoroughly tested-a machine that
will te convenient, save time, be
absolutely accurate in the count,
compaI atively cheap in cost, and be
absolutely secret for the protection
of the voter-the present cumber-
some, in some 7. spects, Australian
ballot voting will be continued.
There is no doubt that inventive
genius will yet give us perfect vot-
ing me chine, just as it has given
us perfect typewriter, q perfect
sewing machine-a voting machine
which will register as many kinds
of votes as there are kinds OF votes.
Till then we will have to wait, and
meantime we could so amend our
State constitution as to remove all
doubt of the legality Of the use OF
voting machines.-N. A. Ledger.

good story on himself relative to
his hotel life.
During the recent session one of
his solid constituents visited him
and "Uncle joe devoted his time
and attention to the plate piled
high with green corn. II tasted
good. He ordered another plate of
the savory cereal. When he had
his fill he pushed back from .

Then he showed his guest about
the hotel, pointing out its covnen-
fences and advantages. The guest
seemed thoughtful, and "Uncle
Joe" ventursd to say inquiringly:
"Pretty comfortable quarters
