THE PITY OF IT!

The last general assembly left many things
andone, but it was in no particular guilty as in
failing to heed the demand of the people for an
amended caucus law.
1t is no answer to the demand for law
that will protect the primaries, say that
citizens should be honest there, whether in charge
of the voting simply voting. In an ideal COM
munity few if any laws, are necessary. Where all
the people are good there is little need for stern
enactments Furnishing evils. Rules are made to
govern, and before the rule or law is established
there must be some evil to be remedied.
The Importance of the caucus under our pres
ent system no one can dispute. In order to get
names of candidates upon the official ballots very
stringent rules must be followed, and the present
caucus act, as construed by the supreme court and
by the board OF canvassers and registration, per-
mits the board last named to throw out caucus on
the slightest pretense; in fact though the testimony
in support of the caucus having been fairly con-
Quoted is overwhelming
That a Republican majority, or in fact any ma
jorty in the legislative body, should refuse relief
from an oppressive law seems hard thing to be-
lieve in government constituted such as ours.
To keep laws on the statute books that instru-
ments of evil, comes mighty near being violation
of a legislative oath. There is but one way by
which the voters Of Providence get around this
kind of contemplate political chicanery, and that
is by registering and going into the caucuses deter
mined to maintain their rights.
So important is the primary that the laws
rounding should be carefully drawn and the pun
ishnent of those violating such laws should be
swift and certain The action of the Republican
assembly in this important matter must be kept
constantly before the voters, that schemes pro-
viding for the stealing of Democratic may
be frustrated.

thank God.

tell him. who says that he always
keeps his word that he cannot do so
I'm this instance. We have shown
how Brayton played both ends OF the
senatorial game. how he wheedled
money out OF each candidate and did
not make a delivery 10 either. In
hotel i'm Boston he conferred with the
Wetmore people OF a Sunday, selling
goods which he there and then prom
ised TO deliver. and coming back to
Providence on Monday, he conferred
with the Colt faction and sold the
same goods 10 them IL either Wet

Gov. Higgins advocated the lessening OF
the inequality OF representation In the

governor the veto power. He added that

OLD HOME WEEK.

Matters are assuming a business-like aspect in
regard to the celebration of Old Home Week, which
now has been refnitely decided upon as TO occur
July 2I-27. This event should be decided success,
and every citizen, man woman should take an
especial pride in making it such, and using their
own individual efforts to secure the attendance on
that occasion of relatives friends whom they
know reside in other sections of the country.
There are thousands of former residents of
this city and state, who have been away for years.
during which time this municipality has grown in
SIZE in beauty, and assuredly during the past few
wears there have been added attractions along the
shores of the bay which should appeal strongly 10
visitors at next Julys celebration.
While the executive committee having charge
OF the event, as well the various sub-com-
mttees, are composed OF men OF the highest stand
ing i'm the community, who will bend every
effort toward the success OF our "Old Home Week"
vet the fact must not be lost sight of that every
citizen who has pride in this city must do his or
her parts and lend. in every way, their help, both
moral and financial, if necessary, TO the various
committees who have the affair in hand.

James B. Reynolds, who did so much good
work in the cattle slaughterng Investigations for
the government, is now devoting his energies to
devising a better government for the District oi
Columbia. This very earnest and able man wishes
TO place all the offices in the district government
under the rules of the civil service commission
save that of district governor.
Mr.. REYNOLDS has given the question OF muni-
cipa government attention for many years, and he
has reached the conclusion that the German cities
are the best governed of all cities. In that coun-
try the mayors of the larger cities are selected from
the mayors Of the smaller places, and Mr.. Reynolds
would have the governor OF the District selected
from mayors who have governed cities of $4,000
population There may be much in his plan, but
how the number Of office seekers would be increased
if one could by being chosen mayor OF small city
fisi himself one of those who had an opportunity
to be almost as big man in Washington as the
president.

The state of Idaho has reputation to estab-

legged completely in the murder of Gov. Steunen-
berg If the state, by the presentation OF strong
evidence should convince twelve men of the de-
fendant's guilt, then no can find fault. There
must be care taken however, to make no one suffer
for holding opinions that appear distasteful and
impractcable In other words whether Haywood
is Socialist or not has nothing to do with the fact
of whether he is guilty innocent. Evidence of
the legal kind should be alone considered by the
Jury. Class feeling should not cause the punish
ment of any citizen should it prevent his pun
ishment if he has broken the law.
