DEPEW AGAINST IT.
Veteran Senator Not in Favor of
Hughes Direct Primary Plan.

New York, March Ex-senator
Chauncey M. Depew is not in favor of
Governor Hughes direct primary plan.
In an address last night before the Col
umbfa University Politics club. Sena-
tor Depew declared that a system such
as Governor Hughes advocated would
result in the election of inferior men
and the degeneration of government. He
said in part:
Under the old system the office seeks
the man, but under the proposed sys-
tenn the man seeks the Office and seeks
it hard. The whole object in proposing
this new system is to obtain an ideal
system. This new system is revival
of the old New England town meeting,
which is a nearly ideal form of gov
ernment. But how can you get a town
meeting in New York?
Gould he get Elihu Root or Joe
Choate' to enter a contest where they
would have to go up and down the east
side into the west side, through the
center of the city, into every barroom
and tenement shouting, I'm the man
to be your judge. I'll see to it that
no man is turned out of this house be-
cause he is poor
1--WE have had this system for more
than 100 years. We have never had a
bad president, but we have had a num-
ber of great ones; New York has never
had a bad governor, and she has had
many great ones.

SClOMON'S PRAYER.
Was the Bible Passage Kissed by Taft
at Inauguration.

Washington. March 10.-Through
James H McKenney the veteran clerk
of the supreme court of the United
States has just come to light the fact
that President Taft's lips fell upon
a very significant passage in the Bible,
when after taking the oath of office
he kissed the sacred volume.
Mr. McKenney held for the chief
justice the book used in connection
with the administration of the oath.
He presented it to Mr.. Taft and after
the latter had sworn to bear truth
faith and allegiance he reverently
leaned over and touched his lips to
the open face of the book. They fell
upon the third chapter of First Kings,
at the point beginning: "Gfve there
fore thy servant an understanding
heart to judge thy people, that may
discern between good and bad; for
who is able to judge this thy so great
peopIe?"
This was the prayer of Solomon at
the beginning of his reign and the
passage closes with the statement that
the prayer was answered because of
its unselfish character.
