NOT AN OFFICIAL FUNCTION.

Mr.. R~oosevelt's statement that he
wished no official marriage presents
given to his daughter was truly Amer
lean. Miss Roosevelt has no official
connection with government, as does
the daughter Of a European ruler. This
country could not send a present to
any wedding in the family of foreign
rulers. To accept such presents would
nccess.tate like favors, and would De
contrary to American ideas. The whole
American people wish Miss Roosevelt
happiness, but their wish is for her
as for any other attractive American
girl whose fathers high official posi-
ton makes her widely known. but they
would depIoro any departure from
precedent that would tend to make the
families of our public servants like the

TNO-CENT FARE IN OHIO.

The day when railroads can charge
as much as they please ought to be
nearing an end. The State and Fed
eraI governments ought TO prescribe
reasonable rates. giving fair salaries
and a fair dividend upon the money
invested. but no more.
The vote in the House of Repre-
seIrtatives of Ohio on the bill for a
maximum two-cent a mile rate was
1o4 for 10 / against. The Senate had
already passed a similar bill Of its
own, and the news is that the rail-
roads admit that the two-cent rate viii
become a law. The railroads. so it is
said. having been unable 10 control the
Legislature. Will go TO the courts. Of
course if that reduction would denv
them fair dividends on money invested
It should not stand. but its advocates
say that the earnings will prove that
the reduction is fair and just.

THEORY AND pRACvTTC-E.

A correspO ndent of the State Journal
at Marion in discussing the primary
question writes:
II have seen in your paper lately. a
great deal about the working of a
primary election law, seemingly fear
full that If a primary election law
should be adopted. some candidate
might receive a nomination when he
did not receive a majority of the total
vote cast
would it be any worse for a party
to nominate candidate for an office
at n primary election. by a minority
vote than 1t would be to elect a can
didate to a public Office at a general
election, by minority vote2
For instance, suppose that Chase
county polls 1850 votes at a general
election, and that the Republican.
Democratic and Populist parties are
nearly equally divided in the county:
that the Republican candidate receives
500 votes, the Democratic candidate
receives $50 votes. the Populist can
didate receives 500 votes: under our
election law the Republican candidate
would be elected, notwithstanding the
fact that he had received but a trife
over one-thfrd OF the total vote cast
1T surely IS no worse to have a can
didate for an office nominated BY a
minority vote. than 1t is TO have an

omeer elected to an office by minor
ity vote"
Theoretically the correspondent is
right. But in practice the people near
" always divide between two domi-
nant parties, and minor parties usual
" draw approximately pro rata from
the dominate parties.
In the last election, for instance,
suppose the Populist, Prohibition and
Socialist tickets had been eliminated
in Kansas. would not the great ma
jority of those who supported those
tickets have voted for Roosevelt in
preference to Parker
The difference is that it is impos-
sible to Jump up" political parties to
beat the opposition in general cleo
ton Political parties are established
Institutions, and Republicans can not
successfully bring out new parties to
divide the Democrats, and vice versa;
but In primaries candidates can be
Jumped up" to divide the opposition.
The Marion correspondent con-
tinues:
The only opposition to a primary
election law, comes from the poltu-
clans and parties that wish to control
the nomination and election of the Of
reason that they well know, that with
primary election law so that voter
can go to the polls and cast MS vote
for his choice of candidates. their jobs
would be at an end
with a primary election law, there
would be no free passes to delegates;
no trading Of delegations; no bribery
of delegates with cash, or a promise
of office; no hot dinners for the dele
gates, paid for by a few slick politi-
clans, but an honest expression OF the
wish of the people.
What the people demand is a prl-
mary election law, an antipass law, a
two-cent a mile passenger fare law,
fair railroad assessment law and re-
vision of the tariff law in the interest
of the people, and they will not be sat
isfied with anything less"
Again the correspondent is right in
theory. and what the State Journal is
working for is to get a primary law
that will accomplish the result sought.
of getting at the peoples choice
which the ordinary primary where the
plurality rules does not always do.
