DoIliver on the Primary.
(Register and Leader.

Senator Dolliver has been talking to
the citizens of Quincy, ILL.,, and is
quoted by the Keokuk Gate City as
saying:
In regard to primary legislation,
while discussing the matter of legis-
lative reforms, Senator Dolliver said
that he did not wish to detract from
the efforts of those who sincerely wish
to inaugurate better things, but gave
it as his opinion that township that
cannot hold an honest caucus win in
time, fail to hold an honest primary
election
Likewise, if the senator's neighbors
cannot be trusted about his home with
the doors wide open, they cannot be
trusted with the doors locked. But the
senator is not leaving his doors wide
open Of nights on that theory.
Senator Dolliver should come to a
clearer appreciation of what Glad
stone had in mind when he said the
purpose of government is to make it as
easy as possible for the citizen to do
right and as difficult to do wrong
Right laws are powerful aid to right
conduct and locks and keys are a
powerful discourager of burglary.
Take number Of paraphrases of the
senator's suggestion. If a community
will not keep sober with whisky flow
ing in the streets, it will not keep sober
under restrictive saloon regulation. II
man will not worship God in a min
ing camp, he will not worship God in a
city of churches. If boy does not
seek education with one book and a
tallow dip, he will not seek education
in city of colleges. If man will
not pay his debts where there is no
law, he will not pay them for all the
courts.
There is a certain suggestion of
truth in all Of these. But what do
they come to? Taken literally they
lead to the most absurd of all errors,
namely. that progress is impossible and
the collective efforts of society mean
ingless.
When the Australian ballot was in
troduced it was the favorite objection
that if you cannot trust man with
one ballot you cannot with another
you cannot make an honest voter by
law. The senator will recall the tenor
of the argument of the practical poll
ticians as state by state the secret
udltul lHdue us Way. never mas the
case been more plausibly stated, and
never was there a deeper seated preju-
dice to appeal to. But who today is
found to say that if voter will not be
honest with the old shinplaster ballot
he will not be honest with an official
secret ballot?
Senator Dolliver should not give ex-
preston to these half truths in dis
couragement of the efforts of the pro-
gressive forces of society for better
conditions. He especially should not
give expression to them to bring into
disrepute reform his own state has
committed itself to, on the success of
which the reputation of the state is
staked. Primary election laws are
not an experiment. If they were, SEN
ator Dolliver should be a leader in all

icle. land If Allison runs for the senate
then Lacey will run for governor.
There is a noticeable lack of comment
from Sixth district papers upon his
candidacy. The Chronicle does not be-
lieve that Lacey would prove strong in
this district for either office. Those
who voted against him for congress-
man would certainly not favor promot-
ing him to the senatorship while Car
roll would beat him out Of sight in the
district in a race for the governorship.
The Chronicle has more than once said
that much of the bitterness against
Lacey is unjust, but this bitterness ac-
tually exists and must be reckoned
with as an element of great weakness
in his candidacy"

better advertising than admission that

Alvin Along!

-(Atlanta Constitution.l
Some folks they keep huntin' for sor-
They sigh if they're right or they're
wrong,
But this days as good as tomorrow,
So | jest keep a-livin along.
jest keep livin' along,
/ jest keep a-singin' song,
There's no use to sigh
While the suns in the sky;
So jest keep a-livin' along.
When the Lord made the world was l
in it
To give him directions? He knowed
I wouldn't know how TO begin it,
Bein' nothin' but dust by the
road.
So jest keep a-livin' along,
And l can't say the Lords work is
wrong;
I never will sigh
While he's runnn' the sky;
I jest keep alvin along.
I'm thankful for sun and for showers;
The Lord makes the winter an May;
An he'd hide all the graves with his
flowers
If folks didn't weed 'em away!
So jest keep a-livin' along,
Still thankful for sunlight and song;
know. when It's snowin'
Gods roses are CROWN.
So jest keep a-livin' along!

PENDANTS We're ever accorded fairer
treatment by 1.-THE great majority of
newspapers. AS the character of Or
chard, the star witness of the prose-
cution, was revealed by his own testi-
mony, the country rang with editorial
denunciations of the man. 1t must be
conceded even by the bitterest and
most blatant fomenters of class hatred
that Haywood was accorded a fair
trial, even as it will be conceded by
most fair minded men that the verdict
of acquittal was a righteous one.

tions. But they are not.
Better ways of doing things have
their effect on human conduct. The
mere fact that people struggle for bet
ter ways is an earnest of better con-
duct. Human nature is the foundation.
But many different structures can be
erected on that foundation. 1t is a
poor service to disparage any honest
effort for better conditions. The
church, the school, restrictions on vice.
an honest ballot and an honest pri-
mary are all of them agencies for right

the day he lives in.
President Garfeld's Funeral Bill.
(From the San Francisco Chronicle)
Death has disclosed that the govern
ment has for twenty-six years refused
to pay the expenses incident to the fu-
neral of President Garfield. William
r. Speare, 4. veteran undertaken OF
Washington, died few days ago, and
it has been disclosed that the most
valuable asset of his estate is a claim
against the government for services In

Soon after the Garfield funeral con-

expenses, and the secretary of the
treasury appointed a commission to
investigate all bills. All those present
Ing claims We're required to file re-

ideas about business, refused to hand

to secure the payment of his account.
Now that the claim will pass into other

be paid, by the Speare heirs agreeing
