Shall We Surrender to the
Prinary?

Many people are shaking their heads
and saying that the primary elcction is
failure, and MI because It has been dis
covered in the city Of Richmond that DUR
Ing our recent primary here there were
glaring frauds. These comments arc
made In part by the enemies Of the pri-
mary election system, and we have no,
argument with them, because they are
not sincere. Tho fairer the primary, the
greater the failure in their estimation
because the enemies Of the primary are
opposed to any device which gives g full
and fair expression OF the sentiments mel Of
tho people. They want some system
which can be manipulated and which they
can use for their own selfish purposes,
whether or not the people are with them.
There are others who are sincere IN
! their statement that the primary is q
failure, for the reasons mentioned and to
them we say that II this be true. then
| all elections are failures, because 1T is as
easy to cheat in regular elections as IN
primarieg. What are we going to do
about itr NV Q all kIlOW Illttt " lh1A ~ fhtt.
honestly conducted primary Is the surest
and most effectual mode of ascertainlng
the choice OF the people In the selection
OF candidates for office, We know that
such n primary Is far better than tho
convention, even though the convention
itself be free from trickery and mnnlpu-
latlon, for In tho ono case the people
vote individually and directly, whereas
In the case Of conventions they vote
through a fow chosen delegates. Admit
ting this to be true, and nll fair-minded
men must admit It,, arc we going to SUR
render the best method simply because
! dishonest men sometimes get control OF
1 the polling places Heaven forbid that
we should make such an abject and COW

The true remedy is for the people e

which the people Of tho South need to

Greater Expansion Wins.

After long and hard fought contest,
greater expansion won triumphant vic
tory in the Council last night 4
True, the ordinance as$,adopted does
not take in as much territory as the
advocates of greater expansion and the
opponents of the Mills plan originally
proposed, but they were not contending
for lines, but for. principles, and every
principle that theysfought for is rccog-
nized and enacted In the ordinance. to-
Wit: liberal allowance for residence sites,
ample ground for factory sites along the
railroad lines, and city control Of the
wa ter sheds and natural sewers
The ordinance takes In about q thou
sand acres moro than the Mills plan
embraced, making, exclusive Of waste
lands, something like 2,500 acres OF de-
sirable building sites in various sections,
and adding from ten to twelve thousand
Inhabitants TO our population. The lines
thus embraced arc approved by tho city
engineer and the city attorney, and by all
who wish TO see Richmond expand on a
liberal and progressive scale.
The Times Dispatch feels pardonable
pride in this triumph OF tho principles
for which 1t has fought without COM

Down With the Mosquito.

In an editorial article similar to that
which appeared In Tho Tlmes-D!spatcll
of Sunday on the transmission of yellow
fever, tho New York Tribune says;
$50 far az anybody knows to-day, there
is only enc way OF transmitting the
ge.ns of yellow fever from one person

OF mosquito biting the sick first and
then the we'll. The process Is Identical

ever has been seen. Everything is
done on a scale of sumptuous and ar
tistic magniicence, in an environ
ment Of the most expensive sort, -
heavy, rust1ing silks, soft velvets,
1aces that are real, all to set off the
beauty for which each member of the
splendid chorus was personally Sc
1ected. There is abundant material
for enjoyment in all other phases also
of this grand production; the comedy
lis genuine, Lew Fields not having
forgotten nor abandoned the humor-
Gus methods the public likes best, and
there are Fischer, Davenport and Her.
bert, each comedian with plenty to do
of the sort that never fails of it's
hand.
There is not dull moment in the
performance, and everything is of a
nature to please even the most refined
taste, and if one be not pleased it is
the fault of the listener, not of the

Miss Sigred Jorgensen Dies Sud-
denly from Heart Failure at
Her Home on South St.
CAUSED BY SUDDEN FRIGHT
Young Lady Had Been in Good Health
During the Day, and Had Just Pre-
pared Supper for Family When
the Final Summons Called Her

Miss Sigred Jorgensen, daughter of
Neils {. Jorgensen, and sister of DR..
+. +. NJ, Jorgensen, died suddenly at
her home on South street lust .be-
fore Z O'Clock Wednesday evening.
Death, which resulted from heart dis
ease, came without any warning.
Miss Jorgensen had been in good
health and spirits during the after
noon, and although she had for years
been sufferer from epilepsy, the mem.
bers OF the family had noted the fact
that Tor the last two weeks her health
had been exceedingly good. The
Young lady had been attending to the
work abouG the house, and had lust
prepared the evening meal for the
other members of the family. She
had walked to the home of a neighbor,
when she seemed to have some pre-
monit1on of the pproachingsa
and she suddenly ran into the house
and threw herself on her bed. Her
mother and other smembers of the
family went into the room, and DR..
Jorgensen was hurried1y called from
his home near by, but the young
woman had passed away before he ar
rived. 1t is thought that the stroke of
heart disease came from sudden
fright. Miss Jorgensen had been ex-
ceedingly nervous, and this is the ex-
PLANTATION of her sudden death given
by DR.. Jorgensen.
The deceased was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Neils c. Jorgensen, and was
born in Audubon county, Iowa, on
Feb. 6, 1884. She came with her lar
ents to this city several years ago, and
had a large circle of friends in the
city. She was a young Swoman of
cheerful disposition, and although an
invalid, she had been great favorite
with her friends. Surviving are her
mother and father, two brothers and
three sisters. The sudden death is
made doub1y sad on account of the
fact that Miss Christina. Jorgensen,
the youngest child of the family, was
to have been graduated from the
Kenosha High school on Friday even
ing.
