A LE6kLlzED PRIMARY.

Ever since the present machine or
ring rule obtained control of politics in
Virginia the entire policy of the party
organization has been directed to the
strengthening Of machine power. Each
step has been very adroitly taken in
that direction, but no movement has
yet failed to accomplish the desired end.
When the question Of holding a con-
vention to make q new constitution was
at first preached, the impression was
created that the machine organization
was opposed to the scheme. Those
Democrats who were anxious to get rid
of what they called the ''office-holder'
trust" were induced to thoroughly COM
NIT themselves to the making of new
constitution; and, then, the machine,
with seeming reluctance, assented to
the proposition. The constitutional con-
vention was ordered and the machine
managed to get its adherents placed in
control of that body. This resulted in
the framing and proclaiming of a new
organic law that has established in the
State an almost perfect oligarchy or
machine rule.
The new constitution provided for the
adoption Of the primary system; and
here again the ring praetleed deception
upon the anti-machine Democrats. 1t
is well remembered that the machine
was apparently opposed to the primary
system, and managed to have the indie
pendent Democrats commit themselves
to it. and insist upon its adoption by
their party. They were at last graft
fed by the ring, though it pretended to
aequiesce in a matter to which it was op-
posed The anti-machine men soon re-
allied that the primary as conducted
was snare and delusion and they be-
gan to clanor for q legalized primary.
Again the machine began to play it's
trick cards and opposed the establishing
of legalized primary. AS in the other
movements they forced the anti-machine
men to thoroughly commit themselves,
30 have done in this. And now the ma
chine is preparing to give the party in
surgents what they have been demand
ing, and in the legalized primary to
place the most deadly machine sting.
A few days ago it was announced that
Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd was draft
ing State primary bill which he would
present and have passed at the coming
session of the General Assembly. One
feature Of Mr.. Byrd's bill is a provision
making the primaries compulsory. That
means that the independent Democrats
and the Republicans will be forced to
in the priparies, or will not /,

Catching Pigs with saryta.

An old practice of gypsies was to
poison pigs and then eat the flesh
when thrown away by the farmers.
This poison was carbonate OF baryta,
and was safe. provided all parts that
were near the entrails were carefully
washed and soaked. Gypsies call it
"drab."

Mr. Byrd might have added, that if
his bill becomes law, the machine, of
which he is spokesman and for which he
is working, can and will select the can
didates four years in advance of the
primary and railroad them through.
Will the independent, honest Demo
Gratis of Virginia contribute to the sue
cess of this movement of the machine,
which is planned to bind in stronger fet-
tiers both anti-machine Democrats and
Republicans?
The making of new constitution was
victory number one for the machine;
the establishment of the primary was
victory number two, and the machine
is now cunningly scheming to win its
final and permanent victory BY enticing
its adversaries into the adoption of
legalized primary. Those Democrats
who have been fighting the machine
have already made two serious blum
ders. Will they make the third?

VIOLIN EASILY At THE HEAD
BE Crowned King Of Musical
instruments.

Restricted as is its range of dyn-
amics, the violin has had for its vOtar-
les men of such widely different tenn
perments as Paganini and SpOhr, Will
helmj and Sarasate, Joachim and
Ysaye. Its literature does not COM
pare with that of the piano, for which
Bach. Beethoven. Schumann, Chopin
and Brahms have written thei-
choicest music. yet the intimate ma
ture of the violin, its capacity for pas
siOnate emotion, crowns it-and not
the organ, with its mechanical tOnal
effects-as the king of instruments.
Nor does the voice make the peculiar
ly poignant appeal of the violin. Its
lowest note is the G below the treble
clef, and its top note mere squeak;
but 1t seems in a few Octaves to have
imprisoned within its wooden walls
a miniature world of feeling even in
the hands of a clumsy amateur it has
the formidable power of giving pain;
while in the grasp of a master it is
capable of rOusing the sOul.-James

Valley City is agitating the COM
mission system and Fargo recently
held a public meeting to discuss the
feasibility of its adoption. In both
places the plan has it's supporters
and it's opponents. AS we have point
ed out heretofore, no system of gov
eminent will in itself remedy the
evils complained of or that exist.
But given a system of government
that is good, good men will have
better opportunity to bring about
needed~reforms than they will under
a bad system. The commission sys-
tenn was designated to eliminate the
ward sentiment in cities, to elect a
body of men who shall have the in
terests of the whole city at heart
than those of a particular ward or
section, and to fix responsibility for
certain departments of government
upon officials. 1t Is very possible
that these officials may not prove eff
ficient. They may fail to meet the
expectations of the people who elect
ed them. But the remedy is the same
as in any other matter of the kind
the retirement of the official who
proves inefficient and the election of
a better one. City government should
be SO simplified under the commits
sion that the people may pass an in
telligent judgment upon it's work. 1t
is mistake to suppose, however,
that all the ills that grow into local
governments will be at once cured
by the adoption of the new system.
But it is not unreasonable to believe
that it will be an improvement upon
the present system of government,
and good government comes by grad.
ual improvement, not in single day
or night.
