FRIDAY. OCTOBER %, 1903.
THE HENRIco CONTEST.

It seems Gus to be TOO late In the
action to be discussing the pros and cons
of the contest between Brauer and Todd
before the County Committee. The case
has passed beyond that stage. The ques-
ton now is whether Brauer or Todd is
the regular nominee, and that involves me
question of party law and party organiza-
ton In other words the simple question
Is whether the County Committee. or the
State Central Committee is the supreme
authority. If the County Committee had
Exclusive jurisdiction" in this case. Mr..
Todd is the namlnee; If It's action was
subject TO review and reversal by the
State Committee. Mr.. Brauer is the noml-
nee.
That is a question which each Democrat
must decide for himself. AS for The
Times Dispatch, 1t has no personal choice
as between the two candidates. and has
perse But it is very clear to us that
in all such cases affecting party discipline
and party harmony, the State Committee
is supreme The County Committee rem
dered a decision in the Brauer-Hechler-
Todd contest, and the case went to the
State Committee on an appeal by Mr..
Brauer, and 1t was understood by the
members Of that committee that all par
ties to the contest had agreed to abide by
tho result.
The supreme committee reversed the de-
sion Of the subordinate committee. and
declared that Brauer was the regular
nominee. We thought, of course, that
that settled the contest, But the County
Committee refused to yield, and awarded
the certificate of nomination to Todd.
And so the authority of the supreme COM
mittee of the party was ignored and
dcfied
It is idle. we repent, to discuss the
merits Of the contest between Brauer and
Todd before the County Committee That
is like discussing the testimony in the
lower court of a case that has been
finally decided by the Court of Appeals
It is also idle to discuss the question
whether or not the State Committee had
jurisdiction The supreme committee de-
clded that it had Jurisdiction, and its
decision can only be reviewed by the
State convention which clothed it with
power ITO decid'Aall questions which may
arise in election districts calculated to
affect the harmony and interests of the
party"
This was such a question, and the
State Committee decided 1t in the manner
that seemed TO it right There Is n clash
OF authority, and Democrats OF Henrico
are called upon TO decide which tribunal
they will recognize and obey. There can
be no doubt as to which lis supreme.

TRUE PRIMARY SERVICE.

The Democratic Executive Committee
OF Calcaseu Parish, Louisiana has
adopted resolutions binding the commits
Eioners and clerks at the coming State
primary election to serve the people
without pay, and the New Orleans Times
Democrat hopes TO ser all the other par
fishes pursue the same course It says
that in Mississippi the election officers
made no charge for their services at the
recent primary thus rendering 1t pos
sble for the counties TO charge only from
81 TO 81, 80 for the expenses of guber-
material nomInation-that is, for pac-
ing the name Of candidate for Cover.

All this goes TO show that the primary
election system is very near the hearts
OF the Democrats Of Louisiana and Mis-
s!sslppi They value IL so highly they are
willing to make sacrifices to ensure its
success. They know that If candidates
should be heavily assessed the effect
would be 10 work hardship upon men
of meagre means who might aspire to

In Virginia We hear objection made by
some TO the primary system on account
cd the tax it imposes upon candidates
and because 1t requires more or less
time on the part of the water to go to
the polls.
OF all the arguments advanced against
the primary, the latter is the weakest
we ever heard, How can It be contended
that 1t takes more time for voter 10

AN HONORED NAME.

Rev. DR.. William NJ. Dame. is this
week ceebrat ting his twenty fifth ami
versary as rector of the Memorial Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, of Baltimore.
1t is an interesting occasion for many
people in Virginia where he and his fam
" are so we'll known. He is a son Of the
late Rev Dr. George w. Dame, of Dan
VILE who. for more than fifty years
was rector Of the Church of the Epiphany
in that city. DR.. Dame was pioneer in
that section of Virginia, and no man did
quite so much perhaps, to advance the
cause of religion. He was in the truo
sense consecrated man and splendidly
loyal to his God and the church. which he
served. He never took thought for him
self. but gave his time and talents and
money and the best that was In him for
God and humanity. He was the Grand
Old Man Of the Episcopal Church in that
part of the diocese. and the son in Balti-
more is worthy of the honored name he
bears and the church he represents

POULTRY AND EGGS.

According to statistics Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
value of all fowls on farms in the United
States is 1855. 900 The estimated num-
her of chickens in the country Is 100000
COO producing for market in one year
poultry worth S136. 100000 and eggs worth
sl44 10000, a total value of about $2So,0oo,-
600 This. It is held, represents an income
of 400 per cent on similar investment
The use of the incubator has made 1t
the duty of the hen to devote her whole
time TO the production of eggs. How
faithfully she has performed her duty
may be estimated from the fact that last
year 600 dozen OF eggs We're pro-
ciuced in the United States" This al
lows 203 eggs to every man, woman and
child IN the country. Except for 1900, the
egg product of the United States has ex-
ceeded in value that Of their combined
gold and silver output for every year
since 1850. The same statement is true
of the poultry product, save for the years

Now. as to the expensiveness of pri-
,,srv elections Whatever they may
have been in years past, they are not
now very expensive to candidates. In
substantiation Of this statement, we have
only to appeal 10 the atiidavlts of candi-
dates who appeared in this years pri-
maries. which aflidavits are on file Tor
public examination. The pure elections
law made the expenses Of candidates
light! The aflldavits show that the
average candidate spent very little
money.
Whether the Democratic party OF Vir-
r,nia can get suitable men to serve ns
officers of election free OF charge Is a
question Some persons high In party al
fairs incline to the opinion that we
could not safely count upon doing So
With unpaid officers. they fear "hitches'
might occur In some localities and that
the results Of the primary would thus
be brought into question. But at least
the Democratic party can limit the pri-
mary election expenses and make them
as little Of a burden to candidates as
possible.
If the party will do that: If they VIII
see to it that the pure elections law Is
enforced a State primary need not be-
come a bugbear to any candidate on ac-
count of expensveness.
Let the friends OF the primary cleo
