Save the Primary.

q The question OF nominations by the d.
rect vote OF the people is not one OF
partisan politics. 4 is question OF
citizenship. of patriotism and OF progress.
The legislatures OF over twenty-five
States in the last two years have en-
dorsed measures involving the primary
principle. Many platforms of different
States have declared for It, and many
States, North and South, give 1t prac-
teal operation.
The caucus or convention system does
not answer the purpose. 1t often thwarts
the will OF the people and Substitutes
minority for majority rule. The direct
i nominations by primary demand and
/ give the people voice In naming can
didates. The convention and caucus de-
i part from this original purpose to the
Suppression of the voice of the people.
The need of the hour throughout the
republic is to interest the people them
selves In the study OF the men for whom
they are to vote. 1t Is known from expe-
rience wherever the primary system is
tried, lNaI the Interest among lhe VOteTh
Is aroused. as the recent primary In
Richmond demonstrates. Therefore,
whatever may be said as to caucuses
and conventions. the number of people
who participate in the primary Is far
greater than through any other system
thus far devised. The principle Ia not
new IN Virginia, II has long been In
vogue in the cities and In soma OF the
counties No valid objection has been
urged against IT says by those who
wish by manipulation 10 cheat the PEG,
pie out of their rights
II Is argued that the expense liz great,
The expense of conventions is even
greater, Take the convention which meets
in Richmond on Thursday. II is fair Ia
assume that the average expense OF tho
fourteen hundred delegates viii not be
less than fifteen or twenty dollars each.
This would pay the expense of two o,
three primaries throughout the State.

This convention which meets In Rich

History Recalled.

| In capturing an American citizen and
holding him for n ransom, Raisouli, the
| bandit of Morocco, probably remembers
the time when the United States submit
| ted to these outrages. About hundred
years ago the Barbary States lived large
ly BY piracy. From their ports, especial
" from Algiers. went out piratical yes
sells to depredate and any vessel plying
In the Mediterranean was liable to cap
taken by these pirates and 100000 de-
manded for their redemption. President
washington directed especial attention
to these outrages and impressed upon
Congress the necessity for a navy. Be-
tween that time and 1898 AIgerine pirates
captured fifteen American vessels and
made $50 officers and sea1nen slaves. sub
tjectjng them to the grossest outrages.
The United States paid million dollars
In tribute money to this nation, and IN
1895 the government agreed by treaty to
pay the Dey an annual tribute for the
RELIEF of captive seamen.
In 1900 tho United States frigate,
George washington, under Captain Balm
bridge, was pressed into the service Of
the Dey OF Tripoli and compelled to hear
a gift from that ruler to the Sultan
of Turkey,
In 1879 the Dey OF Algiers took offense
because ne had not received his annual
tribute from the United States, dismissed
the. American consul. declared war. cap
tured American vessels and reduced the
crews to slavery. Tho American consul
had to pay $4,000 for the security of him
selt and his family.
Finally firing of these outrages our
government sent fleet under the COM
nland of Decatur to bring the Aigerines
to terms. He sailed into tho Mediter-
rancan and found a number OF Corsair
vessels waiting for him, He engaged the
corsair fleet. and played havoc with

siers, and demanded the Instant sur

Sunday School Teachers.

Tho commencement OF the Sunday
School Teachers' Normal College was held
Sunday evening at Mount Vernon Meth
odist Episcopal Church. Washington, five
persons receiving their diplomas.
Dr.. ]. b. Gilbert. president Of the
faculty, delivered the address to the
graduating class. in which he dwelt par
tlcularly upon the lite OF the church de-
pending upon n we'll trained and
systematic Bible study. He said In part:
.'The Sunday school Is the Bible study
department of the church, entitled to the
support and care of the church as truly
as any other department The Sunday
school Is committed to tho care Of the
teacher, who should be drilled In correct
methods Of study. so that he may Direct
others into those methods. All this is to
be acquired by patient continuance in o.
/, ourse OF preparation which cannot be
covered hastily"
That Is a subject which this paper has
moro than once discussed. The great
need Of the church to-day is an efficient
corps OF Bible teachers for the Sunday
schools. 1t seems to us scarcely less
than reckless toScommit the religious in
struction Of children to any and every
body who may volunteer to teach in the
Sunday schools. The teachers are fire.
uuently young men and young women
who have had no experience and whose
views on religious questions are entirely
unknown to the church authorities. The
best educators In the country are for
ever talking about the need Of trained
teachers in public schools, and before
any person ia permitted to teach in these
schools, such person must pass an ex-
animation and receive certificate. But
no such examination and no such certi-
flcate nre required to entltle aperson to
teach In the Sunday schoolH and to give
instruction to irnpress!onable children in
religion. Az
1t Is a question which the church can.
not longer afford to ignore, and we be.
lieve that the time will come when i
will take the pains to have thoroughly
trained teachers for Sunday school work
and It may be that salaries will be PAID
such teachers. 1t would cost a. good sum
of money to adopt the system, but il
