DATE OF THE PRIMARY.

One of the resolutions adopted by
the state convention recommends that
no state primary for the nomination
Of Governor, state house officers,
Judges and solicitors be called by the
Democratic state Committee earlier
than July 10 and later than Sept. l.
over two years ago, when the ques-
ton of the date of holding the pri-
mary for Governor, state house Off
GERS, judges, etc, was under consid-
Grafton, we urged that the date be
sometime after July 10. The reason
offered was that the farmers were
busy in May and June with their
crops, and that it would be a hard
ship for them during that time to
voting at a primary. Our views were
not accepted. however, and we have
no doubt that many farmers pre-
ferred losing their votes to neglect
ing their crops. We are glad to see,
however, that the views we then ex-
pressed on this subject have now been
accepted. The resolution adopted by
the convention fixes the date between
July 10 and Sept. 1. 1t seems to us
that the last date is little too late.
1t would make the election campaign
too short in the event of their being
an opposition ticket. Aug. 10 would
be late enough.
And to insure compliance with the
will of the people. as expressed by
the convention, the Legislature should
fix the limits within which the pri-
mary could be held when it provides
additional means for securing pure
primary elections. We are sure that
it is the wish of the people to have
an absolutely fair expression of the
sentiment of the party in the pri-
maries. II a doubt of their fairness
should get into the minds of the peo-
pie their usefulness would. in large
measure, be destroyed. Therefore the
Legislature should do whatever seems
| necessary to be done to meet what
appear to be existing deficiencies.
No more such scandals as that which
| cropped out in the Blue Ridge dis
trict in the last state primary will be
tolerated. If it is necessary TO adopt
the Australian ballot system, or a mod
! ification of that system in order TO
secure fair elections let it be adopted.
The necessity for primaries that will
be absolutely satisfactory is so appar-
ent that there is no doubt that the
Legislature viii act promptly in COM
| pliance with the recommendations of
| the state convention.

A MISTAKEN MINISTER.

In his sermon last Sunday, the Rev.
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, said he believed that
in the next generation it would be
vulgar to be rich, vulgar to spend
money" Radical changes will have to
be wrought in people il they abandon
the views they now have in regard to
money. There may be here and there
a man or woman who doesn't think
money is the most desirable thing in
life, but the number in any community
is comparatively small. There are
men and women who deny that they
care for money, but it is worthy of
notice that about everybody is putting
forth his best efforts to get it.
OF course we do not mean that it is
the money itself they want. 1t is
what money will bring 1t is only now
and then that there is a person who
finds his greatest pleasure in the pos
session of money, who, in fact, is a
miser.
But DR.. Hills wasn't talking about
misers. He had in mind rich people
who delight in Haunting their wealth
in the faces of their less fortunate
neighbors, who waste vast sums in the
purchase of clothes, on horses that are
adorned with the latest things in har-
ness and carriages that are so ex-
travagant in appearance that they at
tract general attention when passing
~ ~ al ha hfcyh-
ways. and in other ways.
While it is doubtful if the time will
ever come when it will be considered
to be vulgar to be rich the opinion is
general that many rich people make
vulgar display of their riches. Such
people are. as a rule, newly rich They
are afraid the world will not know they
have wealth, and, hence, they make a
display of it, too often a vulgar dis
play Their chief ambition seems to
be to make greater display than their
neighbors.
The great majority of such people
are not lacking in good qualities, but
their good qualities are overshadowed
by their efforts to crafty their ambi-
tion to make an impression by means
of their wealth.
1t may be that there will be few
more people as the centuries pass who
will think with Mr.. Carnegie that he
who dies rich dies disgraced, but the
time is still a long way off before 1t
will be thought to be vulgar to be rich.
Irvopo fiv,,a in, m at,1oriaI man have hAap
striving to be rich, and riches have al
ways been regarded as a mark of re-
spectability, and doubtless will con-
tinue to be for a much longer time
than the next generation. 1t isn't
the possession Of wealth that will be
regarded as vulgar, but extravagant
displays OF It.

BRYAN,s DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

There is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
wrote the platform adopted BY the
Democratic Convention of Nebraska
model for the platform 70 be adopted
by the St. Louis convention, and also
for the purpose of provoking discus
sion. 1t might also be said that be
mad in mind, when writing it, that its
effect would be to increase his popu-
larity with certain classes of voters.
II doesn't call directly for the reaf-
firmation of the Kansas City platform,
but It mentions that platform, and con-
tains some of the Objectionable things
which we're in it. No doubt Mr.. Bryan
will take every opportunity in his
speeches and his paper, between now
and the meeting of the National Con-
vention, to keep that platform before
the public, but it is safe statement
that it viii not meet with favor from
the st. Louis Convention. There are
some things in II which have the APP
prevail Of all Democrats, but, taken as
a whole, il will not serve as model
lot TIE platform WHICH tue DciiONla tiS
party will adopt this year.
If Mr. Bryan will study the situation
in his party he will find no trouble in
coming to the conclusion that the SEN
timent which pervades 1t is vastly diff
ferent from that which dominated 1t
when its convention met at Kansas
City. Then there was a radical sentt-
ment which made it easy for him to
dominate the party. Now there is
conservative sentiment with which he
isn't in touch 1t looks as if he and
Mr.. Hearst together wouldn't control
third of the convention. If this should
prove to be the case, Mr.. Bryan's
views as to what the platform should
contain wouldn't be heard by the con-
vention.
Mr.. Bryan may be able to bring them
to the notice of the delegates, since 1t
is the understanding that it is his pur-
pose to publish his paper in St. Louis
during the meeting of the convention
in that city. Enough is known, how
ever, as to what the sentiment Of the
convention will be to justify the state
ment that the platform that will be
adopted will bear no resemblance to
the one that was adopted at Kansas
City in 1900.

How an indian Was Pnrdoned.

The Indians all knew Senator Quay
as their friend, says the New York
Tribune. A few months ago a pretty
Indian girl from somewhere away out
West, journeyed to Washington to Sc
cure the kindly offices of Senator
Quay in procuring a pardon for her
brother. He had committed murder.
Senator Quay listened to her story and
then asked:
Were there any extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the shoot
ing?"
Yes, my brother killed at 500
yards" said the maiden.
This brought a ray of hope to the
Senator. He thought that any man
who could kill at 500 yards would APP
peal to the President. Attorney Gen
eral Knox was visited. Mr.. Quay said:
Il have never asked you for anything
since you have been in office. l now
want something. l desire a pardon for
this Indian"
The case was carried to the Presi-
dent, and he was told of the extenu-
ating circumstances. There were prob
ably others than his fine shooting, for
the Indian was pardoned.
