PRIMARY AND VIVA VOCE

The Richmond News Leader recently
sent out to Democratic chairmen in the
cities and counties OF the State list Of
Questions designed to test the sentiment
of Democrats on the primary election
question, Thirty-s!X replies were re-
ceived, and with four or five exceptions
the chairmen report that the people in
the sections they represent arc heartily
In favor of the primary as a method Of
selecting candidates, but are opposed to
the viva voce system Of voting
We are not surprised at tho result Of
these inquiries. The primary is popular;
tho viva yoce mode Of voting is unpopu,
lar. This has long been apparent to those
who have felt the public pulse The les.
son is plain Let us hold on to the pri.
mary, but adopt tho, modern plan OF vot-
Ing by ballot The viva voce mode has
ouilived its day and must be laid aside.

counties as to the estimate Of the PEG.
pie In the matter of primaries and mass
meetings or conventions. and the secret
or viva voce ballot. elected variety Of
replies In many Of the counties report
Ing there have been no primaries. and the
ideas are largely speculation on the part
OF the chairmen, or their individual Views
and predictions. Almost without excep-
ton the charmen declare that the peo-
pie oppose the viva voce plan, but In
majority of cases favor a primary. Prob
ably Il majority of those heard from OPP
pose n general primary. while some OPP
pose n local primary. but prefer n gen
cral primary. a few counties report
lnrger participation In primaries than In
old mass meetings, but as many favor
the mass meetings and conventions, and
de clare that the primaries are promotive
OF dlscord. Generally, however. tho pri-
mares whero secret ballots were had
have proved satisfactory.
Several chairmen, among them Chair
man Reid, Of Pittsylvania. oppose a gen
eral primary, owing to heavy cost to can
dldates. The majority OF the counties
heard from are lukcwarm as to the pri-
mary in local affairs, and n2smal major
ity declare for tho general primaries for
Governor and Senator.
Almost without exception, the viva voce
plan Is condemned, and a return to the
secret ballot urged by the chairmen.

REVISION WORK
Committee to Be Ready for Legislature,

Committee to Be Ready for Legislature,
Nhch Meet N vsmber 10th.
The General Assembly of Virginia will
convene in adjourned session on Tues
day, November 10th. TO complete the
work Of adjusting the statutes to the
new Constitution. This arduous labor was
practically completed during the Yong
session ending In May last, but 1t was
deemed best to refer the matter to a
committee OH revision, and adjourn until
November 10th to receive and act on
this report. The revision committee has
been sitting at various places all the early
summer and fall, and are still at work
on the third floor of the Capitol. Hon.
w f. Boaz, & member OF the commit
tee. stated to a reporter that the COM
mittee had about finished Its woIf and
would probably fully complete 1t this
week or early next week. This report.
which is a very voluminous one, has been
carefully prepared and will merely be
passed upon by the two houses 1t Is
not anticipated that there Will be any
debate, tho sections merely being con-
sdered and approved ono by one.
It is not probable that anv new busi-
ness will be taken up at the fall ses-
sion, II, indeed, 1t BIO possible to DO 80.
There are. however. number Of bills
on the calendars of tho two houses which
may como up and be disposed OF by the
General Assembly. Among these is the
Barksdale-Keezell general primary BILL
and the firemen's relief bill. Some de-
fects or omissions In statutes already
on the statute books may be amended
to cure the defects, but this will be
the nearest approach to new business.
The session will probably continue from
November 10th until December 10th or
18th.
Among the discoveries made by tho
revision committee is one that number
of the statutes passed since the new
Constitution became effective are in con-
travention with or not In consonace with
the provisions and prohibitions OF the
organic law.
The session will certainly adjourn be-
fore Christmas and probably as early
as December 10TH Then the new Cen
eraI Assembly will convene on the second
Wednesday in January, 1904. 1t Is linz
tied by law to sixty days. or, rather the

THE WARDS.

The action of the Board of Aldermen
night before last has the effect If 2lh cling
in the Mayors hands the ordinance re-
dividing the wards Of the city. That It
will become law we have no doubt. 1t
is the hest plan that could be hoped for
under the circumstances. though it is far
from perfect.
The number of wards has not been
Increased, but the "shoe string ward" has
been obliterated. We no longer have a
jackson Ward; its territory has been
absorbed by the six old wards and ono
new one, called Henry" The negro
population instead OF being confined chief
ly to one ward, will hereafter be found
in several wards. They haven't moved,
but the ward lines have been changed. In
short there has been something OF

by the new State Constitution enabled
this change to be made, while we feel
sure it will prove to be in the interest OF
good government.
Seven wards is not a large number
for a city of Rchmonds size. Ten would
have been nearer the true mark. but
popular opinion did not exert itself suf-
fciently to secure an increase. In Civ
Ing the wards names. instead Of num-
bers, the city adheres to its ancient GUS
tom. 1t began with jefferson. Madison
and Monroe; then added Marshall and
Clay; then Jackson; then Lee. And now
the ordnance proposes that the name OF
Jackson shall disappear in this connec-
ton and that Of Henry DO added to the
list.
We cannot say 80 with absolute GER
tainty, but we believe jackson Ward
was not named after General Jackson.

| Al the extra session of the Senate In

| cans. who Joined With the Democrats In

The long aud short OF 1t is that the
treaty. now soon to come up for final
action. proposes reduction Of tariff
duties on certain products of Cuba. 1t ls
believed that tho Republicans who, Mt
the last session, so vigorously opposed
such reduction will now accept tho treaty
and allow 1t to go through without Sc
rious objection, although 1t IS said some
of the beet sugar men Will enter their
protest.
The situation is such that there may be
a good deal of speaking In tho Senate
on the subject of tariff duties generally.
but in the House tho Speaker has ample
power to control the debate. and that
he will exercise his power, we have no
doubt
The President Is anxious to have this
matter Of Cuban reciprocity disposed OF
as quickly as possible, IN order that ship
pers OF sugar may have as much time
as possible to mako Arrangement for
the movement of this years crop from
that country to this. He had intended
to cali the two houses together in extra
session early in october, but Congress-
mon, who have political canvasses in
THEM States, protested, and persuaded
him that it would be just as we'll to
have all extra session In November. To
this view the President finally acceded.
but we must suppose, not without some
doubts whether the subject could be dis
oussed and disposed of before the time
for the beginning of the regular session.

THE TRIAL OF THE TRUSTS.

Tho trust question, which has for the
past several years so agitated the people
OF the United States, seems to be settling
itself At least this Is truo OF many or
the trusts which have tried to do tho I'M
possible, and have brought ruin and de-
struction upon themselves and their
stockholders. Organization is the order
Of the day, and this Is peculiarly an aso
OF corporations, A corporation Is an as
ISOLATION OF men who put their talents
and their money together and so acquire
the means Of carrying on great enter
pslses, which could not be carried on by
any one Of them acting independently.
The principal Is we'll recognized, and
corporations have played most I'm
portant part in the Development OF the
United States. There Is economy in CO.
operation, and IL those who organized
the trusts had adhered to the principle,
they would have prospered. Indeed. in
one sense most OF them have prospered.
They have done good business and they
have by cooperation effected material
reductions in the cost Of operation. Their
troubles have come in most instances
from over-cap!talization They have man
ufactured stocks by the million and
dumped them on the market.
In most instances the capitalization was
pacity of the concerns, rather than upon
the actual property in hand. So Ions az
the speculative fever lasted and SO long
as all branches OF industry We're booming,
all went merrily along. but the day Of
reckoning was inevitable. Fictitious
values could not be maintained In
definitely, and when the storm came the
houses of trusts which had been built
OF cards went down.
But this does not disturb the principle
of cooperation. which is as sure and as
potent to-day as it was when the over
capitalized trusts were flourishing.
Cooperation Is the characteristic OF
civilization. There can be no such thing
as organized society and government
without cooperation. and the modern
corporation, by whatever name called, Is
the logical growth OF this age of pro-
gress. But no organization built upon
false basis can live and prosper. 1t has
always been our contention that IL the
modern trust, as it is called, should prove
to be a public blessing. 1t would endure;
Il otherwise. II you'd fall.
For several years the trusts have been
on trial. and many OF them have given
n poor account OF themselves. Some OF
them have come to grief; others have had
serious troubles; all are moro or less
under suspicion. The good have had to
suffer for the sins of the bad. But In
time there will be readJustment, Those
which are fit will survive: those which do
not deserve olive will perish.
In the meantime. however, some yalu.
able lessons have been learned and IT
will be many day before our captains
of industry" forget them. 1t has cost
them dearly; but experience such as this
always comes high The trust problem Il,
slowly. but surely. solving itself
