ELECTION LAWS APPLY TO
PRIMARIES.

II has been contended by some that
the perpetrators of fraud in primary
cannot be dealt with under the State
election laws and that. consequently,
the parties who voted dead men and
men who had never lived at all In the
recent Second strict congressional
primary cannot be punished Since
Judge Hanckel. OF the Norfolk Corpo-
ration Court. has instructed a grand
jury to investigate this primary IT
would seem that he does not think
IT is impossible TO reach the crooks.
In this connection, the Richmond
Evening Journal publishes a commun-
icstion from Comonwealth's Attorney
Berkeley, of this city. The Journal,
recalling that two convictions for vio-
lations OF the law by participants in
a Democratic primary campaign had
been secured in this city, asked Cap
tain Berkeley for an opinion as to
the application of the election laws to
primaries. The captain replied thai
he hardly could see how there could
be any question about the matter,
quoted from the statutes to prove that
they do apply to primaries. and said
that il the occasion should arise he
certainly would act in accordance
with his opinion.
This section of the state general
election law, quoted by CAPITA II Berk-
eley. certainly seems to settle the
question:
All laws intended 10 secure the resu-
larity and purity of general and local
elections and to prevent and punish
any corrupt practice in connection
Herewith and the penalties and pun
ishmenls now or hereafter prescr-be bed
BY law for such offences, shall. so far
as they may be applicable, apply to
all primary elections, whether the
same be held under any state law oil
this state or under a plan provided
by some political party.
The statute does not limit its ap-
plicaiion to "legslized" primaries. II
says all primary elections. whether
the same be held under any State
law Of this state or under 8 plan pro
vided by some political party" The
laws under which persons guilty Of
fraudulent practices in general or 10
cal elections are laws intended tC
secure the regularity and purity" o.
such elections. so they apply TO an,
party primary just rs they apply e
general elections.
There is no excuse for such condi
tons as have prevailed in and around

you do the same by him. We all speak OF

really mean anything by it. But We do
it. And there's an end of it.

My experience in life has shown me
that human beings find it the finest and
most stimulating fun going to laugh at
the failings and oddities of others be-

far as to assert that this trait in our
common humanity is the root and foun-

VULGAR DISPLAY OF JEWELRY.
Tendency of Modern World to Emu
late Opulent Romans.

From the New York Tribune
BY the time she had finished her lecture
on Jewels before the members of the
League for Political Education, Miss May
Morris had convinced her audience that
"Jewelry is not the strong point of the
modern western world
1.-The opuIent Romans" she said, dis
carded the intimate and tender simplicity
of the Greek jewelry and adopted bar
barc-or merely vulgar-heaviness Their
rejection Of dignfied tradition for sheer
display is danger to which we are run
ming today
1t was not her intention. Miss Morris
said, to criticise modern work, but she
could not refrain from pointing out that
such things pigs done in fine diamonds,
dunr5bell cuffbuttons and torpedo watch
charms were most intolerable, and that
they were put on the market by inartis-
tic traders who could sell anything to
a public that didn't know what it wanted.
Miss Morris particularly admired the
opaque enamel of the old jewelry much
more than the translucent enamel of to-
day.
lit is so loud she said, 81 would as
lief wear d tea tray around my neck as
one of these highly polished enamel
brooches
When the picture of one of Holbein's
women was flashed upon the canvas Miss
Morris showed how we'll the women of
the Renaissance wore their family jew
els. They didn't wear much. but what
they had was good" She also pointed to
the jeweled sleeve and wished that mod
ern women would adopt the style.
Miss Norris herself wore heavy dog
collar of silver baubles large glitter
ing brooch of many varied stones set In
silver, and chain of silver with a
heavy blue enamel pendant.

Conserving the Quail.
From the Columbus Journal.


Gen. Speaks, our efficient state game
warden, is receiving hundreds of letters
asking for advice as to how to save the
quail from starvation in this oId-fash-
loned winter. The quail is about the
most helpless bird we have in Ohio. Al
though it winters in this latitude. it
hasn't the slightest idea how to take care
of itself when the deep SHOWS come.
When the ground is covered and tile
ready food supply is shut off. these beau
tiful and useful birds huddle together and
wait in miserable motionless fiockS for
death by freezing or starvation. The only
way to save them is to scatter on the
snow '.C.-r their hauutS liberal allowances
of grain or other suitable food. 4 few of
the holder or tanner birds will find it AMI

JAPANESE LEARN THINGS.
This Country's Wealth and Waste
fulness Astonish Foreigners.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The members of the Japanese commits
sion who have been visiting the great
cities of this country were profoundly i'm
pressed by many things, with others, the
great resources of the country, the Won
derful manner in which they are utilized,
the evidence of incaculabe wealth, eN-
traordinary use of machinery and splen-
did deveopment. Another was the waste
fitness of Americans as class. in the
home as well as elsewhere. 1t was said
that the waste of an American family
would support two Japanese families in
comfort, which is but a paraphrase Of
remarks made many times about the su-
perior economy with which household af
fairs are conducted in the older countries,
particularly in continental Europe.
This may be true, but it Is to be noted
also, that peculiar wastefulness is not a
racial trait. 1t is one Of the habits of
American life which the European adopts
after he has been domiciled in this coun-
try long enough to become Americanized
in other respects. and to grasp the Amer
lean point of view
The things Of which Americans are eco
nomical and other countries are wasteful
are time and physical exertion. The
greater percentage of American waste is
due to the refusal of Americans to waste
time, especially the Well paid time of
others whom they are paying. Raw ma
terial is often wasted. because, as a mat
ter of dollars and cents. it is more eco
nomical to permit it to go to waste than
it is to use high-priced labor to save it.
AS a minor, and, possibly. a petty illus
tration. an employer may figure that 1t is
cheaper, when q highly paid mechanic
drops a nail, for example, for him to let
it lie rather than to take his time to pick
1t up, when his time may be worth IS
cents an hour or some such sum-
An American manufacturer will throw
away perfectly good machinery, for which
he has paid thousands. when better ma
chinery comes in, which will do more

American housewife will use the ex-

cooked in a palatable manner at a frac-
ton of the time and trouble that II would
take to make appetizing dish out of
the cheaper cuts.
The American does not waste labor.
whatever else he wastes; indeed, most OF
his other wastefulness is due to that one
fact Labor is rated at higher rate
here than anywhere else in the world in
every conceivable way. A foreigner visit
ing the United States Is always inclined
to hold up his hands in horror at Amer
lean waStefulness Of material. On the
other hand, when an American goes
abroad, one thing which tends to arouse
a feeling of irritation in him, especially
if he has been in the Industrial classes or
if he be an employer of labor is to wit
ness the extraordinary waste of labor
which passes unnoted in all countries save
this.
