HearSt's Advice

T. 4 B ID y NH . rra r. y iIt u
The labor movement should disassoclate
Itself from partisan politics, and then
labor people should regard themselves not
SO much as Democrats or Republicans,
but as labor men, and use their strength
and their great influence to elect to
Congress candidates favorable to them..
WILLIAM r. HEARST.
In other words, the laboring men should
dissociate themselves from the body poll
tic, form separate class unto themselves
and go In for legislation affecting their
own welfare. regardless Of the welfare
of other citizens and Of the country at
large The whole doctrine Is as mis-
chievous and vicious as the brain OF an
agitator like Hearst could devise. 1t Is
destructive In It's teaching and tendency
OF the very fundamentals democratic
government and social order. Carried into
effect It would make us q nation OF
factions. destroy the cohesive force OF
fraternalism which holds us together as
a nation, and end by, and by, inevitably,
In revolution and dissolution.
William II, Hearst Is the most dam
gerous demagogue to his inches who has

Barton Heights Celebration

The longest day OF the year was made
memorable in tho history of Barton
Heights by, laying the cornerstone OF
q High School building to cost $4,000
The event marks an epoch, and it is
meet that It should have been celebrated
with impressive ceremony. The erection
of this building I is probably the best
thing Barton Heights has ever done for
herself 1t is certainly the, best thing
she has done for her posterity Who
can estimate the value Of such an insti-
tuition to a community? How many
men and women of the future will be
trained within its walls How many
characters will be formed! There is In
spiration in the thought. It is a noble
structure. It was conceived in noble
spirit. and 1t must do q noble work for
the children OF this and future genera.
tons It Is the price Of struggle and
sacrifice, but the price is none too high.
Barton Heights has one Investment. at
least, which she can never lose. and
the dividends Will be rich and sure.

Growth of the Primary.

The recent action Of the Democratic
State Committee Of Kentucky, in order
ing general primary for the nomina-
ton of candida ties for United States
Senator. State officers and congressman
is n hopeful sign for popular rights and
brings into line another Southern State
4 for one Of the most important election
reforms OF the present age. 5f
The growth of the primary system in
this country within the past decade has
been something wonderful and is strong
evidence OF the oft-repeatcd fact that
revolutions do not go backward. It cam
not now be recalled that q single State,
save North Carolina, has tried tho sys-
tenn and abandoned It.
Tho principle was dIstasteful to the
party leaders there, and the particular
pltfn put into operation was beset with
all kinds Of stumbling blocks and han
dicaps: so that, after It's first trial, tho
State Committee declared In favor Of
It's Abandonment and returned to tho old
convention system Of nominating candt-
dates.
For many years the primary principle
has been in satisfactory operation In
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi LOUISE
ana and South Carolina, and in all these
States the plans have gradually been per-
fected, until now there IS no remote
prospect of abandonment. ~
Virginia came into line last year, and
now Tennessee. Kentucky and Missouri
have Joined the primary ranks.
La Toilette forced the system upon
the unwilling politicians in Wisconsin,,
as Folk had done In Missouri, while
Bryan, years ago, established It in Me-
$braska Florida has tried 1t with success,
and other States, especially in the South
and West, are coming to 1t by degrees.
If primaries are unpopular, their unpop-
Hularity can always be traced to one OF
two courses !: Either the particular plan
adopted IS. Imperfect and cumbersome, or
somebody does not desire the broadcast
ex preston of they at the polls
The Virginia CLAN is manifestly mper-
feet, and needs remedying, either by the
Z Legislature or by party authority,f4b but
this is no fault Of q great principle,
which is steadily making Its way into
the hearts Of the people. So thoroughly
are the American voters in favor Of @
free and fair expression OF the popular
will at the ballot box that II would not
be surprising should both the leading
parties, In. all the States. eventually
adopt the primary election system of
nominating their candidates for public
office. @
