The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-09-05

After studying the matter up one
/ side and down the other, we have come
to the conclusion that we are in favor
! of a primary election law that will
provide for the nomination OF all can
didates from governor down to road
| overseer by direct vote of the people.
| The State Journals plan strikes us as
I being about the right thing, and we
would like to see it adopted. By that
plan the voter indicates his choice by
numbers, and thus expresses himself
on every candidate. For instance.
suppose there are three candidates for
the order Of his preference, and the
candidate who TALES the lowest num-
Der in the final count, wins. In the
convention system, nominations are
made by a series of trades and but
seldom is the voice of the convention
the voice Of the people. In fact. many
times men are nominated whose names
are never mentioned outside the con-
vention- Some time a deadlock occurs.
and a dark horse" is sprung and on
him the warning factions get together.
He can hardly be said to be the choice
of his party. yet he is labeled that way
by the act of the convention. BY the
primary system each voter passes upon
the merits of the candidates, and the
one who comes nearest being first
choice of all the people is given the
nomination NObodys name is elm
! mated. nobody is traded off" and
everybody has a voice in the selection
of candidates.-Jamesto Optimist
The more the State Journal studies
it, the more it is Convinced that this
plan is the fairest that can be devised
If it is constitutional One thing is
certain: It gets at the will of the ma
jority of the voters with mathemati-
cal exactness.
Further than that. it is very easy to
record the ballots under this plan.
There is nothing complicated about it
as there is about the Wisconsin sys-
tenn when it comes to making the
count.
If it could be done it would be a
good idea for some county or city to
experiment with these various plans.
A practical trial is the best test.

THE CALL OF THE HEART.

Many people read with surprise
few days ago the dispatch telling Of
Thomas W. Lawson sitting for twenty
days by the body of his dead wife, his
reason tottering from the blow that
has fallen on his domestic life The
picture of such devotion is vastly diff
ferent from what the great majority
imagine concerning the man. who has
toyed with millions, and who brought
the money pirates of Wall street to
their knees with his story of Amalga-
mated.
But men capable of doing great
deeds are also usually capable of great
emotions, and Thomas W. Lawson ap-
pears to be one of these.

strange, sad vigil of more than three
weeks. and the bowed figure of the

good facts we are prone to overlook
or undervalue.
Indeed. these are times of hurry.
when men seem to rush along without
due respect for the really fine and
high things of life; but they seem SO

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, was re-
Gently talking about a politician whose
erratic conduct had estranged him
from his party.
This man." said the senator, twas
showing visitor over his new house
in Washington the other day. He ex-
hibited the large drawing room in
white and gold, the spacious dining
room in mahogany. the vast ebony
hall with its onyx pillars. and then he
led his visitor into the littlest bit of a
room off the hall-a mere cubby hole,
containing nothing but a table and two
chairs.
Not very large, eh?' he said.
Small and cosy, isn't it? Here I en-
tcrtain my political friends
All said the visitor. it will be
large enough for that "
One Republican newspaper repro
ducing the Foraker story says it is
plainly directed at Senator La Toilette.
If that be true then it is a misfit. No
hall in Washington would be large
enough to serve as a reception room
for the political friends" of the Wis
consin Exchange.

PpOBTvG THE TRUSTS.

No matter who is responsible for It,
the action of Fred s. Jackson, assist
ant attorney general in starting TO
probe the workings Of trusts in kan
sas is to be highly commended.
This paper has been unable to see
why Attorney General Coleman, if he
had the welfare of the state and its
laws at heart, never did this before;
but if this action now is commenced
by direction of Mr.. Coleman, he should
have due credit for 1t, even at this late
day
The International Harvester COM
pany is a good trust to begin on
Every farmer in the state who buys
farm implements pays tribute to it.
Mr. Jackson has picked out a good
place to begin probing.
The Kansas antitrust law has baen
on the statute books for nine years,
has been twice upheld by the United
States supreme court, and it is a pow
erful weapon in the hands of de-
termined official.
If Mr.. Jackson shows the people of
Kansas that he is in earnest about the
prosecution Of not only the Interna-
tional Harvester company, but all
other trusts as we'll, he will accom-
plish more for himself in the coming
campaign than all the speeches that
could be made. It is the kind of argu-
ment that counts.
The people of Kansas want officers
who will enforce the law-the prohi-
bition law. the antitrust law, the rail-
road law, and all other laws.
