greater activity shown than at any

In from all parts Of the country.

and hotels To be convinced of this
fact. Mon with money are coming

II is perhaps a little premature to
launch n boom for Colonel Grayson
IN y candidate for secretary OF tho
prospective national department of
mining, but In the words of Amy,
Tho Miner believes there IL nothing
like taking "time by the fetlock. "
From his long experience In mining,
his intimate acquaintance with all
phsseS Of the industry, his general
adaptSbility for such u position, and
IN tho representative to one Of the
great mining commemorative Of the
Union, Tho Miner IL convinced
that In the event this department
should be created by the national
government, no better or more
suitable man can be named than
Colonel Grsyson. His work M n
member Of tho American Mining Con
Rress han called national attention to
him, and II seems likely through the
efforts of this body such a department
may tW established. II should be.

We differ with Mr.. Southall who
said that man could be good Dem
ocrat and yet dodge any Democratic
duty. Taking part in Democratic pri-
maries is an important part Of Demo
cratic duty, and the Democrat who
fails in this falls short Of his full duty
unless he has some good reason for the
failure.
The fact that he did not care to make
choice between friends is no excuse at
ALL Choice bad to be made by others,
for without choice there would have
been no primary, and without the pri-
mary we would have no candidates,
and without duly appointed candidates
there would be no party organization,
and we would be in blue fix in Viz
GINA and the South generally il We
had no Democratic organization. As
the law now stands the primary is the
frst step by Virginia Democrats IN the
process Of securing representative Gov
eminent and We all admit that the first
step is a necessary step, an absolutely
essential step.
We want to remain on record as IA
vOring the primary and the viva voce
method Of enforcing it, but if one man
has right to dodge this initial party
obligation then all men have the same
right and chaos would ensue.
The Democrat who lodged the re-
cent primary-obligation ought not to
try and defend his act but should cour-
ageously confess his error and urge
Others against a repetition oft
