THE PRIMARY "CRsFTER. -

It is more than probable that the
sum OF 500, 900 was spent by the
various candidates in the primary
just closed. A large part of this
sum went into the pockets of men
with nerve enough and dishonesty
enough to cajole or threaten the
candidate, unless they were paid
money for work. This is a new
political evil in Alabama, but it is
a dangerous evil and an evil that
has been spreading steadily under
our primary system. Montgomery

The same conditions have ex-
listed in this state for several years
and the Offices of honor have been
given to the men who could spend
the most money or had the power
to use the political machinery in
their own behalf at the expense Of
the taxpayers. Should it continue.
God pity the country.

both of which he denied, we
turned with relief to the Death

INTEGRITY AND DISHONESTY

An exchange asks the question:
Does civilization bring integrity !?
1t depends largely on the character
of the civilization and what is
meant by that term. If it is based
on christian principles, there is no
question but that it brings integ-
rity and lifts men above selfshness
and dishonesty. The fact, how
ever, that men may profess to be
christians and lack in honesty and
morality, does not destroy the un-
DERIVING principle of our civiliza-
ton. There are thousands of good
men, who make no christian pro-
fession, who by reason of educa-
ton and environment hold high
ideals as to moral worth and re-
quirements. Civilization does
bring integrity and the lapses from
the standard of right and wrong
are but few, in comparison to the
great, overwhelming number of
people who are honest, from a

William A. Kohl of Mayville, is
thinking of becoming a candidate
for the republican nomination for
congress in the Sixth district, now
represented by Hon. Charles R.
Weisse of Sheboygan, who un-
doubtedly will be the democratic
nominee to succeed himself. The
writer is not acquainted with Mr..
Kohl, but understands that he is a
good man and if nominated, will
make Charley Weisse hustle even
if the district is strongly demo
cratic.
St. Paul, MINI. a democratic
stronghold went republican week
ago Tuesday by a majority of up
wards of 1900. Evidently there
are independents in the demo cratic

suits. The only question which
Influences political choice these
days is, what the candidate stands
for and can they be trusted to work
for the best interests of their con
stituents.

DR.. Parkhurst of New York. The
