Lessons of the Primary.

Ocean Spring News.
The recent primary election and its
attendant results has had the effect
of satisfying many of the people of
Mississippi that while primary syst
EN- as an institution is a good one,
and one that will improve with usage
and experience, there is room for
some modification, and if the Legis-
lature which is now being chosen
does not undertake to make some
changes the drift of opinion is much
mistaken, says the Picayunes cor
respondent at Jackson. 1t is the
general opinion that the law should
be SO modified as to permit of sets of
primaries for State and legislative
offices and for county Offices being
held separately, and if this is done,
and done judiciously, it is thought
that the effect will be wholesome.
lit is KIN own tina from
the very beginning of the primary
regime the system has led to vote
trading or exchanging, which would
have the egect of throwing the vote
for a local candidate one way and for
State candidate quite the opposite
way to that originally intended by
the voter. Of course it is the mali
enable right of the individual voter
to cast his ballot for whomsOever he
lists but there are many who are
easily susceptible to persuasion and
to chance their vote in the interest
of some local candidate and In so do
ing sacrifice or knife" the man of
their original choice for the higher
Office. 1t is thought that this system
can be obviated by having the nomi
mating primaries for local, beat and
county offices in advance of general
primary a plan which was tried by
some of the counties in this present
campaign with good results. 1t is
believed that this should be manda-
tory and optional, and as to desira-
bility for such provision being ad-
ded to the statute there is little if
any contrary opinion heard. The on
ly serious objection heard or that
might be raised is that such provi-
sion would lead to multiplicity of
election days, which in the estimat-
ion of some are of too frequent oc-
curence as it is, but this would no
doubt be more than balanced by the
advantage gained and the opportuni-
ty that it would afford to each coun-
ty for free and altogether untram-
meled expression of choice by the
individual electOr, with no local
strings attached, or the reverses, as
the case might be. Another advant-
age that it would bring be that the
public would be in possession of the
information and the news of the
results much more promptly. and be
relived from the strain of suspense
and uncertainty as to the general
results, especially where the races
have been as close as was the case in
a number of the events in the recent
instance.

President Roosevelt will be vel
coined to Vicksburg by Governor-e e
lect Noel. This is good. The PRECEDENT
will appreciate it. He will have no
reason, anyhow, to feel sighted at
the reception he will receive on Miss
issippi soil. To differ with Roosevelt
on account of political differences is
all right; but to refuse to do honor
to the chief executive of this great
country because of those differences
is puerile.

bad times if he is full of energy and
works the soil himself. Such soil
stands both wet and dry weather

The protracted meeting at this
place has had the effect of drawing
out street corner discussions upon
the subject of religion and the Bible.
The writer seldom engages in these
discussions, as he is not well enough
versed in the Bible to successfully
defend it, and he has too much res
pect for the religion of his mother to
assail it. A man S father may have
been afflicted with touch of heresy
as a sort of an apology for his short
comings, but nine men out of ten

This world went on a long time
without u.s. and if we will learn from
history and observation, we may
know that it will continue to go af-
ter we are gone. We have very little
of which we may be proud. Really
great men are always incapable of
understanding the honor which their
fellow creatures put upon them. HUI
mility does not mean debasing ones
self. but it does mean acting honest
Nv and in the consciousness that
mans greatest height is never very
great A good action that puffs a
man up with pride is not only inju-
rious to him who performs it but los
es its force upon him to whom it is
done. Paul wrote to the Romans mot
to think of themselves more highly
than they ought to think, but to
think soberly. Self respect and hu-
mility do not exclude each other in

are finding good deal of fault with

We agree, that some beneficial chang

primary to nominate county and
beat officers is a good suggestion.
The idea has been advanced that we
have too much politics in Mississippi,
