PRESERVING WILD ANIMALS.

Co narsis+ent and emphatic have been the
warnings of the approaching extlhcuoh VI
many species of wild animals that 1t Is rather
surprising albeit encouraging, to be informed
on good authority that such danger is not lmml-
nent in the case Of some Of those generally sup
posed to be the most threatened.
At the request of the Selborne Society or ENG
land. an association devoted to the study of nat
ural history, Mr.. Charles Maurice Muhlberg, d
fur trader of thirty years experience, has pre-
pared a statement relating to the numbers ana
destruction of animals which are slaughtered
for their skins He admits that the number of
nearly ali the large animals usually hunted us
game, such as the buffalo, the musk OK, the
bear, lion. otter and beaver, appears to be de-
creasing; but he looks 10 the United States gov
eminent protection of the buffalo and to the
special laws of the Dominion of Canada for the
benefit of the beaver to save these two animals.
In certain restricted areas the breeding in
captivity of fur bearing animals, such as the
buffalo, silver blue and white foxes mink and
skunk has been more or less successfully prac-
tSed. Mr.. Mhlbergs summing up is to the
effect that ''Of the large number of fur bearing
animals known to commerce, there appears TO
be at present no species Of which serious short
ages are anticipated in the near future" and
that this will continue to be the case If the pro-
tective legislation already existing in several
countries is maintained, land perhaps ex-
tended
The report is doubtless Of value as correc-
tive to the exaggerated accounts Of wholesale
slaughter to which imaginative sportsmen and
sensational journals have given currency, and
that it is received with full confidence by the
Selborne Society (of whose council Mr. NIuhI-
berg is a member) is shown by its promise TO
circulate his paper as a leaf1et; but his state
ment of the facts. while in measure reassur-
ing, is by no means so optimistic as 70 justify
existing agencies for the protection of animal
life in remitting their activities

chine. But coincident with his deIeat COMES
the candidacy of Judge Lewis, an old and highly
respected Virgnian at the head or a hepuDilcd"
movement which accepts cond1tlons as lhey are
gives no ground TO fear negro rule, ana appears
to Virginia simply to face living issues ana au-
vance its own interests. And what Is the an
swer of the Democratic machine? Merely the
old answer that it has all been settled in the
party primary and that Virginians must not
have any live political opinions. 1t is no longer
in order to wall, I'VE are SO afraid of negro
domination" but instead the cry is we were
so afraid of negro domination"
The opposition has absolutely nothing to say
against Judge Lewis as an individual HIS
character and ability are everywhere testified
to n cordial terms. No serious fault can be
found with the Republican party as organized
behind him. Some of the finest men of old Vir-
ginia stock are managing 1t. There goes win
him no fear of negro domination or any of the
imaginary Ills that long made Virginians, how
ever much they dislked its unprogressiveness
and its frauds rally TO the old Bourbon ma
chine large body of these voters believe in
protection, in expansion, in curbing trusts, IN
building up the navy, In encouraging shipping
and in other national Republican doctrines
They want better schools at home and more en-
lightened measures to develop the resources of
the Old Dominion and put it again where 1t
belongs as leader politically, industrially and
Intellectually among the states. But the answer
is that they must not vote for Judge Lewis and
the policies in which they believe, because Judge
Lewis has long been a Republican and Republl-
canism is associated with the evils of recon
struction and REIMBURSEMENT THE Richmond
Dispatch" puts the case in a nutshell
when it declares that Judge Lewis is a fine
gentleman but not our fine gentleman" HE
Is the Republicans fine gentleman" So because
the majority of Yirgnians do not agree with
the views he held the issues of 1870 or of 1880
they must not join with him to free themselves
from the evils Of 1905 and accomplish what he
and they alike desire for the future! That IS
Bourbonism at its best. and that is the case
against Judge Lewis.

that the primary viii more and more supplant
the legislative caucus as the controlling force
in Senate elections
Distrust of the representative character OF the
average legislative majority has done much 10
stimulate this movement to simplify the choice
OF Senators, just we had already simplihed
the choice Of President and Vice President The
people are everywhere becoming more jealous
of their political power and less inclined to dele
gate it to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to inter
mediaries of the professional political class
The House of Representatives has repeatedly
passed an amendment to the Constitution re-
curing the election of Senator'S by popular
vote, but the Senate has refused to permit the
question TO be submitted to the state legis-
latures. Possibly no amendment of this sort
will be made in our time. Yet the spread Of
the primary system of nominating Senators
suggests that the end desired may be at least
partly attained without actually altering the
text Of the Constitution.

PRIMARIES AND SENATE ELECTION.


The tendency to substitute direct for indirect
methods in electing United States Senators is
undoubtedly gaining Roadway. Tennessee is
the latest state to adopt the pIan-now almost
universal in the South-of naming Senators bv
what is practically a popular vote. This plan
strips the members of the state legislature of
a power nominally cOntided TO them by the
federal Constitution, just as our national con-
vention system denies to the members Of the
Electoral COLLEGE any real voice in choosing
President a yice-President BY compelling all
aspirants for the Senatorship 10 stand in
party primary, responsibility for the choice OF
a Senator is vested directly in the voters and
end is thus attained which ostenSiblv CON
ficts with the intent and letter of the Consti-
tuition
The credit Of this innovation is due apparently
to South CarOlina-a state historically given to
rather bold experiments in constitutional inter
probation. Having sOlidiaed the electorate into
one party, il occurred to the Democratic lead
ers In that state that il would be % GOOD thing
to preserve majority rule within the party The
state primary evolved and United States
Senators-properly held to be state officers
were required, like other officers. TO seek their
warrants directly from the Democratic electo-
rate The experiment suited the conditions
which had arisen at the South after the dsaD-
pearance everywhere of a genuine political
opposition, and II was eagerly adopted by other
Southern states. Mississippi. Florida. Louisi-
ana Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia and Ken
lucky have installed the primary system, and
now Tennessee has decided to apply It. In
modified form Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ne
braska have also taken up the direct nomina-
ton method, and there seems TO be no doubt
