PURPOSE OF THE DIRECT
PRIMARY

the purposes of the Direct Pri-
mary are the purposes that the peo-
pie epitomise in the phrases, good
government" honest politics"
fair play" The theory of DEM
ocracy is that these things are best
secured when the largest number of
people participate actively in politics
under conditions that permit fullest
and freest expression of their judg-
ment and will. In constant strug-
gle against that theory, with strain
as steady as that of centrifugal
against the centripetal forces in the
balance of the universe, is the theo-
ry Of aristocracy, the rule of the
best, whether 1.-THE best" be a roy
al family. a patrician class, poli'i-
cal machine, the mauipulators Of
incorpated wealth, or any other
group Of men who have acquired
power by strength of intellect or
brute force.
The purpose of the Direct Pri-
mary is to restrain political leader
ship within reasonable and legiti-
mate bounds, to lessen the opportu-
nifty for corrupt practices, to secure
untrammeled expression of the
popular will. These things are
best accomplished by the adoption
of electoral processes safeguarded
from beginning to end, under which
every man shall have an equal
chance to seek Office without regard
to his purse or condition in life,
with the opportunity for every vot-
er to pass his Judgment unhamper-
ed by coercion, uninf1uenced by
hope of pecuniary gain, direct or
indirect. uncontrolled by anything
save the dictates of his own con-
science.

Another interesting incident in
the railroad war between Hill and
Hartman is the purchase of a con-
trolling interest in the Milwaukee
by the Hartman crowd. The Mil
waukee system has approximately
1000 miles of line and has always
been a fierce competitor of the Bur
lington. When the Milwaukee
completes it's coast extension, if
James J. Hill holds the traffic of
Washington, which he says belongs
to him. he will certainly have to 60
some in new construction and bet
ter facilities. In any case it is pie
for the public.

The North Coast road has receiv.

The North Coast road has receiv.
ed a favorable reply from the Sec.
rotary of the Interior to their appli-

Yakima Indian reservation. With
this settled the North Coast people
claim to have an established route

across the reservation is 20 miles

The National Baptist Convention
proposes to establish at Nashville
Theological Seminary. They have
publishing house whose object is to
supply the ro-Americans with race
iterature-which, of course, the race
is by no means able to worthily pre-
pare. And now they are about to en-
bark in theological instruction, for
which they are as little prepared as
a people could be: We expect that in
the not distant future the white
teachers will be entirely dispensed
with in the colleges and schools foster
ed by Northern Baptists for the Afro
Americans. The Afro-Americans are
as much bent upon utter separation
as the white people. This probably is
the sign of second stage in the race
problem-and very acute stage it is.
Biblical Recorder.
The statements of the Recorder be-
tray pitiable lack of information of
the subject upon which it so dogmati-
cally expresses it's opinion facts
are that for years several of the Afro
American denominations have been
supplying their churches and sabbath
schools with Disciplines. Hymn-Books,
Manuals and Sundav-school literature
prepared and printed by Afro-Ameri-
can scholars, and, thereby depriving
the white brother in the same line of
business of an immense amount of
profitable trade. We suspect that it
is the loss of this profitable market
that troubles the Recorder.

The Atlanta Mob-murders seem to
have suggested to Ex-Rev t-d-that it
is a good time for him to make a tour
in the South with his Clansmen, not
withstanding the fact that several
large cities of the South have prohibit
ted its production III their limits. To
this plan, the Washington Post seri-
ously objects, and gives the following
very truthful sketch of the play:
Essentially, it belongs in the class
of cheap thrillers-the kind that make
the peanut galleries howl and cover
nursemaids with ecstatic goosefesh
Ordinarily, it would be dismissed by
enlightened persons with a contemp-
tuous shrug and relegated to the limbo
of vulgar rigmarole. But to take it on
{: Southern tour at this time, to play
upon the passions of the mob, to slim
ulate violence, and to feed the flames
OF hatred and revenge-that will be
to perpetrate the most perilous assault
imaginable upon civilized society,""

GUNNERY OF BRITISH NAVY.
Officers of the Flagship Edward VII.
Make Remarkable Records.

Officers Of the Flagship Edward VII.
Make Remarkable Records.
British naval squadrons in all parts
of the world have recently been busy
with their annual gunnery competi-
tions. The channel squadron held it's
competition at Portsmouth, the Med
iterranean squadron at Malta In the
preliminary practice of the Atlantic
squadron, under Sir VIII. May, Petty
Officer Giles of the flagship King Ed
ward VII. made worlds record by
securing eleven hits out of eleven
rounds from six-inch rapid-frer 600
pound projectile) in a single minute.
In the regulation run of six minutes
past the ordinary service target,
which was about 1000 yards distant
from the ship, the gun crews of the
.twelve-inch weapons fired fourteen
projectiles of $50 pounds and all ex
cept one hit the target, percentage
Of nearly SO. Thirty-three projectiles
were discharged from the nine and a
half inch weapons, and thirty Of these
found their billet. equivalent to oyer
80 per cent. while from the six-inch
guns 101 rounds were fired and eighty
seven CT these were hits, percentage
Of about ST.
These records have never been
equaled in any feet and rebound great
ly to the credit of the officers and the
guns crews, for they indicate hard
work and persistent practice. Eighty
eight per cent of the rounds from
all natures of guns on the King Ed
ward VII. reached the target.

The Charleston, IS. c. News and
Courier comments upon the rumor
that Thomas Miller, President Of the
state college for Afro-Americans at
Orangeburg was aboat to go to Tenn
essee for the purpose of taking part
in the political campaign there; and
says: What is needed at Orangeburg
is teacher. not a politician. In this
the N and G is exactly right, it is not
advisable for teacher to be too &C
tive in politics under any conditions,
especially such as surround Mr.. Mil
Ter at Orangeburg. That school exists
by mere sufferance, and the men who
control it would be glad of any pre-
text for reducing its. grade, or for abol-
ishing it, altogether.

CIVILIZED OPINION,

portions of the United States day
OF two after the reign of terror in their

tunity OF finding out the opinion of
the civilized world as to their degree
of civilization and capacity for self

Coyote, Cal.-Just beside the great
warehouses: where often five thou
sand sacke of seed will be awaiting
their shipment the fifteen miles to
San Jose, queer Chinese farming
utensils are likewise gathered. There
are curious, deep baskets of bamboo,
imported by the foreman himself, and
heavy sacks into which these empty
their contents. Then there is a room
like the winter home Of circus,
where canvas sheets, each fourteen
yards square, are stacked, waiting the
season. Other sacks. Of hemp or of
canvas are beyond; while from the
ceilings depend otherndeep baskets OF
bamboo. The floor. moreover, is set
deep with sacks-samples of seeds
and each with a label written in Chi
nese and English.
Outside will be stacked circular
wooden frames, not over an inch in
depth, which the, coolie holds between
his hands and rotates slowly, so that
the wind may blow the chaff from the
seed. These great forms are i'm
ported from China. the coolie obtain
ing far better results with them than
he does with our modern sieves. A
great wooden roller, drawn over the
lettuce fields by span of horses, a
queer stool, simply two boards joined
at an angle, against which the China
man sets one knee while he beats the
onion tops against the other side of
the frame, likewise attract as unusu'
al. The Chinese fail, pole topped
with a ball from which a thong of
bamboo extends to smaller instru-
ment, is also found in the collection.

A writer in the New York Independ-

operation of banks by Afro-Americans
in certain Southern towns, calls atten-
ton to the fact that, whereas it was
the habit, about forty years, ago in
Mississippi, for white people to use
slaves as security when borrowing
money from a bank, at the present
time in Mississippi this property
which was once used as security is
now itself engaged in the banking
business. 1t is by such contrasts as
this that the marvellous progress of
half a century can best be measured.
