THE PRIMARY IN ILLINOIS.

The State Journal has been endeavor-
ing to point out the danger, in the ordi-
nary primary, of nominating a minority
candidate-one to whom a majority Of
the voters may be strongly opposed,
but who secures the nomination be-
cause the majority seatters Its votes
among several candidates.
This would not necessarily happen, Of
course, but in the manipulation of poll
tics it would be quite likely to happen
enthusiastically. If one may believe
the Chicago Inter-Ocean it Is what hap
pened in the nomination of the very first
ticket named under the newly-adopted
primary law in Illinois. The Inter
Ocean says:
LAS a Republican newspaper, the In
ter Ocean, of course, viii give its sup
port to John F. Smulski, named yesteT-
day at Springfield to be the head Of the
Republican state ticket in next fairs
campaign.
LAS a Republican newspaper. however
it declares, here and now. that to pass
a primary law for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the peoples direct choice among
candidates, to hold a primary at which
that choice is recorded Enthusiastically by
both popular vote and delegate repre-
sentatiOn. and then to f1out voters, dele
gates, and the whole spirit Of the law by
casting out the man who was chosen
and nominating the man who was repu-
dated, is a procedure that is at once IN
Republican and un-American.
IT'S not fair play; it's not honest
politics. It's sharp practice, that's al"
To be sure, the Illinois plan involves
a delegate convention, the same as does
the Texas primary law, which also has
proved satisfactory. 1t is to be hoped
that if Kansas adopts primary law
it will be one in which there will be no
room for manipulation, but in which
the majority will rule.

Some time ago much was said both
in congress and in the newspapers,
about the trusts that sold goods cheap
er in Europe than in America, and
paid the transportation charges on
them besides. The steel trust had sew
eral spasms because Secretary Taft de-
cided that the steel rails for the Pan
anna railroad would be bought where
they could be purchased cheapest, in
stead of buying them in America.
where the steel trust. by the grace of
the protective" tariff, charged some
thing like 40 per cent more for steel
rails than it did in Europe.
Now, however, little is heard about
this matter. which causes the Wash
ington Post to observe thusly:
Somebody ought to swear out a
search warrant for the apprehension
of that seemingly abandoned political
issue growing out of the practice of our
protected manufacturers selling their
wares abroad cheaper than they sell
them at home. At one time it was
supposed that the battle of 1906 would
be fought on that line; but everybody
appears to have forgotten it.
1T was fetched into congress last
spring, and the Hon. Pete Hepburn
made a speech on 1t and denied and
denounced it as a cock-and-b yarn,
and did it with an indignant vehem-
ence suggestive of the protestations Of
that other Peter in Gethsemane some
1000 years earlier. A Mr. Williams.
of Mississippi. offered to prove it, but
the Hon. Pete refused to let him
testify. It was manifest then that Mr.
Hepburn had some Republican con-
stituents who had heretical opinions
on the subject and some absurd pre-
JUDGES against the practice.
'Then a Mr. Lands, of Indiana
Mr.. Charles I.andis-took the floor and
declared that he did not believe a
word of It: but that even if it were
true, he approved it and was ready to
defend it against all corners.
But the thing did not stop there.
The third step in the standpatter's
progress was taken by a Mr. Dalzeu,
of Pennsylvania, of Pittsburg, Pa. He
admitted it; he approved it; he glori-
fed in it; he characterized it as the
child and the evidence of prosperity.
After his speech the thing got away
and nobody has heard a word of it
since.
But it seems that It has broke
loose in England. where the Liberal
party. now enormously dominant in
parliament, stands as pat for free
trade as the Republican party, equally
dominant IN our congress, stands pat
for protection. The insolent Conserva-
tives over there are asking for duties

BRYAN.

In this democratic land Of the free
one does not need to have held a high
public Office in order to be recognized
as a great man. Today the man who
stands highest in the estimation of the
American people, next to Theodore
Roosevelt, is a private citizen of Lin
coin, Neb.,-a farmer and editor. The
highest Office he ever held was that of
congressman, and even that was
several years ago.
Today this Nebraskan has just re-
turned from a tour of the world, and
a reception national in its character
is being rendered him in the nations
metropolis. Perhaps no greater honor
would be done him were he really
president of the United States.
However we may differ from him in
some Of his theories of government,
we must admit that there is something
Enthusiastically great about this man
Bryan Although twice a defeated
candidate, he continues to be one Of
the most popular American idols.
Why? Partly because of his mag
netism and his matchless oratory; but
more than that. because the people
believe him to be thoroughly honest
and fearless, and at heart their cham
pion- This is exactly why Theodore
Roosevelt is also a popular idol. and
the difference between him and Bryan
IS one of political theories only.
Who would have supposed when
Mr.. Bryan set sail for the Orient
few months ago that he would have
such a home coming as was accorded
him this week? He led the people to
believe that he would not be a can
didate for the presidency in 1908, yet
during his absence a spontaneous
boom for his nomination in the Demo-
cratic party has arisen and state after
state has declared for him two years
in advance of the time the nomination
will take place. It discloses a truly
remarkable state of the public mind
the Democratic public mind. at. least.
