ALIKE IN ALL THINGS.

President Roosevelt set : good ex
ample to all citizens lately by making
the trip from Washington to Oyster Bay
to vote. The election in Nassau County
was probably as unexciting as any elee'
tion could well be. There was nobody
to be voted for but member of the
assembly and few county officers. The
county is strongly Republican, and there
was not the remotest chance that Mr.
RooseveIt's vote would affect the result
with regard to any Office. His work at
Washington is arduous and pressing. If
any maa could truthfully say that he
had duties too important to leave in
order to vote for an assemblyman who
would be elected anyhow, be could. Yet
he makes the tiresome journey and hur.
ries back to to his desk, just to per-
form his part as one citizen who takes
seriously his obligations as a member
of self-goyerning community.

WEATHER TODAY
PRIMARY ELECTION DAY.

The primary election will transpire
today in this city. The law, of iself,
is nuisance, an incubus, fearfully
and wonderfully made thing that all
men dread who have to do with it; there
is nothing about it to invite the good
will of the elector nor to inspire him
with respect for it. II is cumbersome
to last degree, is faulty, foggy and
futile. But such as it is, the Republi.
cans of Astoria have invoked it and put
it in such use as the best intelligence
of the party could muster to its proper
application. II will be observed and the
results obtained will be adhered to in
perfect good faith. Those voting it
today will have the privilege of naming
the Republican candidates for all the
civic officers except that the Mayor; that
will have to be left to a convention of
the party TO be held later in the month
The honors that fall today will be rati-
fled by the party throughout the city,
unless it shall be known that skull-dug-
gerry was employed to the undoing of
the wishes of the party, in which event
the MATTER needing remedy will also
be transferred to the convention for
adjustment. Let every Republican do his
whole duty by those who are seeking
its suffrage, and having done it, there
is time enough to make good on the
mayoralty, and save the situation 10

DARE NOT RENIG

The whole burden of reorganization
of the empire seems to b. falling on
the shoulders of Count Witte, whose ef.
forts to form a ministry are rendered
unsuccessful by the evident fear of the
men who should consent to aid him that
the national assembly may not indorse
the premier's policy or that the Emper-
or may experience change of heart.
Upon the latter point there should no
longer be any doubt Reluctant as the
Car is to yield one position after an
other as it is forced from him, he has
now gone too far to dare withdraw. Alb
soluteism has passed away forever, and
while it does not appear clear what the
future may bring forth there can assur.
edly be no return to autOcracy.
