is held. The number of voters is not as
large, and the voters are not always the
same. But the greatest objection is the
temptation to bribery, purchasing votes
and other corruption held out to the
candidates by the second primary. In
the first all the candidates are more or
less confident of success. This confidence
restraints to a certain extent those who
would if they thought it necessary re-
sort to questionable means. Few men
care to load their consciences and jeopar-
die their regulations more than is neces-
sary. In the second primary each candi-
date knows how many votes he must Sc
cure to win out. Purchasable voters
know how much their votes are needed
by either candidate, and who is most
likely to give them their price. In the
second the honest man is at a greater
disadvantage than he was in the first.

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

Under the rules of the present pri-
mary system, when no candidate receives
a majority of all the votes cast, the two
ceiving the largest number are required
to run again in second primary called
for that purpose, and the one receiving
the majority of the votes cast in the Sec
ond primary is declared the nominee.
Fortunately for our people a second
primary is unnecessary in fernando
County. Nominations were made for all
the State Offices contested for in the first
primary. For the county Offices only
one Office had two candidates running
for it, and, of course, was decided in
that primary.
We have some fault to find with the
second primary. Interest in the cleo
tion is greatly reduced before the second

Honest men vote as they did before ex.

the unprincipled vote is cast where there
is the most shady influence. The honest
candidate is sorely tempted to approach
this vote, and the dishonest one pro.

Remember, Togie, that the public
likes to honor a hero by giving him
something expensive, and then dishonor
him afterwards by watching what he
does with it.
"Noble Togie-There are only two
ways hero can remain q hero in this
strange world of ours. One way is to
die just after he has heroed, and the
other way is to get in a glass case and

"Nice Togie--Republics and any old
kind of publics are always grateful while

anxious to give a hero more than is
coming to him, but after the jag Of joy
wears off then comes the bitter morning
after, when they wake up with the head
full of third-rail microbes and the

Uncle Peter is one of the gamest lit
tie chunks of humanity that ever looked
the world in the eye, but when he heard
the edict put forth by DR.. Osler the old
man went overheard with splash.
He was under water long time.
He though the DOGGY Man had him for
sure.
Uncle Peter felt that it would no
longer be possible for him to pass q
drug store without some young fellow
rushing out with handkerchief full of
chloroform and yelling: "Here, you old
chestnut! here's where you get it in the
nose!"
In the dark watches of the night
Uncle Peter used to wake up covered
with cold perspiration, because he had
dreamed that Doc Osler was pounding
him on the bald spot with a baseball
bat after having poured hair dye all over
his breakfast food.
AT last Uncle Peter got so nervous
advised him to write to the doctor.
"Ask him If he won't commute your
sentence because you live in the country
and are a commuter," l suggested.
The doctor replied to Uncle Peter at
once, and l will try to translate his let
ter from Johns Hopkins into pure Eng
lish, as near as l can remember:
"Johns Hopkins, Today.

Peter, and that today you are bigger

Peter, will be found in the beautiful
words of the poet who said:

Don't mention it, Uncle Peter, for

"To Admiral William Duffy Togo, the
Japanese Crackerjack:
"Dear Togie-Please forgive me for
writing you these few lines, but ! have
been through several wars myself and
l have witnessed how easy it is for q
hero to take the wrong road and walk
unexpectedly into the cold storage de-
partment of the public's estimation.
That is the reason / wish to give you II
few points on the etiquette Of being u
hero, which l have studied from obscrVa-
tion in this country.
Brave Togie-When you get home in
Toxic or Yokohama, or Communipaw,
or wherever it is, keep the face closed,
more especially in the region of the
mouth, because the moment hero be-
gins to speak somebody will misconstrue
what he says and get him talking poll
tics when he only meant to say: Drink
hearty!
"Clever Togie-Don't ever talk with
an ambitious reporter unless you have
baseball mask over the face and q
mosquito netting over the vocabulary;
because if you only say to him: flows

paper a column interview, in which you
have decided to run for Mikado on the
Democratic ticket.
"Good Togie-When you arrive at the
depot in your home town you will find
lined up in front of the baggage room
about 81 young ladies, all with their
lips puckered up in the most kissifac
tory manner-but don't do it, Togie.
"Friend Togie-Resist the awful
temptation to 60 down the line and plant
burning kisses ON the front teeth OF
these beautiful maidens, because after
planting these kisses the harvest will be
the long grass of oblivion, and you will
find yourself rushing madly through the
comic papers trying to bite all the fair
ladies therein.
"Fine Togie-When you meet this
awful situation, as meet it you will,
sneer gently at the puckered lips and
repeat over and over the old proverb
Oscillation is the thief of reputation

lady kissing bugs jump quickly into
