Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1910-04-13

Eulogies formed the chief feature Of
the proceedings of the Senate and
House. Saturday. In the Senate the
life and character of Senator McLaurin
Of Mississippi and of Senator Johnson
of North Dakota were subjects Of nu.
merous remarks. In the House the
session was largely devoted to paying
tributes of respect to the memory Of
the late Representative Cushman of
Washington. The naval appropriation
bill was under consideration during
the first two hours of the session, and
the reading Of the measure for amend
ments was begun.

There is. of course. the long sleeve for
those who insist upon a certain individ-
uality in costume; but this style Is not
the long unbroken line to which we have
been accustomed.
There must be a suggestion OF tho
short length given by bands across the
arm, or by deep cuffs and puffs. Trim
ming can be used in plaques or horizon

That Balance Of Power,

Whenever democrats get to the
place where they feel like making a
campaign issue out Of the situation
Arising from the last Illinois legisla-
ture, the majority of whose members
were republican, they might, with some
degree of interest, If not profit, reflect
upon the fact that but for democratic
balance of power that situation would
not have come about.
The man who has been twice tried
for alleged bribery and the man he is
charged with bribing are both demo
Gratis; one was the leader of the dem
ocratic side in the legislature. These
facts make It rather embarrassing
therefore, for the democrats to seek
to build their present campaign upon
the basis Of this situation. 1t will not
matter much, 30 far as public opinion
goes, what the jury does in the second
trial of Lee o'Neil Browne: the ver-
dict of the people has been returned
a long while ago in his case and his
fate is fixed. His influence. therefore,
will be negligible quantity in the
competition for votes this fall.
Nor will it make a great deal OF diff
ference one way or the other as to the
political housekeeping in Illinois
whether the jury convicts or acquits
Browne. The vast amount of cumula-
tive evidence produced in, the two
trials will certainly bear fruit and in
the end the people of that state must
reap a harvest OF better conditions az

their own satisfaction regarding the

Another Primary MIDDLE.

Friends Of the direct primary NOM
nations, undoubtedly, will hesitate to
accept as final some of the tests to
which that law has been put this year.
One example Of conspicuous failure
comes to light In the Second congress
slonal district of Virginia, where Rep
.resentative Harry Lee Maynard has
apparently been defeated for renomi-
nation by forty-five votes by William
A. Young. Mr.. Maynard cries fraud
and says that he was fairly nominated
by 500 majority, but under the law
he has no recourse, for, while he might
demand a recount, he cannot demand
a second primary and recounts, as is
known even outside Of Virginia, do not
always insure an actual recounting of
the votes, or, IL they do, they may fail
to show where the fraudulent work
was done. Each candidate says he
paid out at least 1900 to make his
campaign.
The first objects which the direct
primary is designed to accomplish are
honest nominations and the right of
the common people to run for Office OF
choose their own candidates Both
objects are defeated in this case, APP
parently. If Mr.. Maynard's charges
are true the winner is not the choice
of the people, and If the financial state
ments Of both candidates are true no
poor man in that district could run for
congress, for poor men do not have
that amount of money to devote to
such purposes, and the very reform
spirit Of the law would forbid them
accepting the money from others.
One thing is certain-before the d.
rect primary may be accepted as a po-
litical panacea or cure-all 1t will
have to come nearer accomplishing
what its opponents claim for it than II
has yet come. Like every other sys-
tenn of political selection. it must
stand or fall on the basis of its own
results. To be ideal in theory is not
enough; II is practical utility we are
looking for Just now.

self. Americans naturally feel q
thrill Of pride, whether they live there
or not, to know that next to London
they have the largest city in the world
and that, excepting London, they have
city larger than any other two cities
in the world And the next census
will certainly show another ire
mendous gain, But with all this
pride, those OF us who have grown
used to plenty of space and fresh air
will be able to console ourselves for
not residing within the limits of this
congested center. It is not easy for
the ordinary Individual to measure
people by the millions, therefore 1t
is easier to comprehend what this
nearly 100000 population of New
York'B area would be nowhere as great
York's means when we reflect that 1t
comes very near .equaling the com
bined population OF the fourteen cities
of 100000 or more. though New
as that of these fourteen cities.
New York's average density of popu-
lation is 1890, for 1t has an area of
900 square miles. Chicago has an area
OF 100 square miles according to it's
last count after it had annexed most
of Cook county. and rating its ponu-
lation at about 1000, 900, it shows
1926 persons to every square mile.
Manhattan, the principal borough in
New York, has a population of more
than 100000, with an area of only
twenty-five square miles, density of
population, therefore, Of 1O5,9O9,
greater than all of Chicago, yet only
one-ninth as large territorially. If
Chicago could spread a population
out over the suburban stretches that II
has included within its urban limits
equal to Manhattan's rate, 1t would
have 100000 people. But we may
hope that the day will never come
when even Chicago, with its 81 wiz
spirit, can do this, Undoubtedly Chi
cago's percentage of increase In the
next decade will exceed New .York's
and it is easily possible that before
another decade after that has passed,
the great western metropolis may have
caught up with New York.
