PERCY KNEW WAS ILLEGAL.
But Holds Primary Will Be Binding on
Those Who Participate.

Mountaineering the state
ment made by Gov. Noel to the effect
that the proposed senatorial primary was
Illegal, Senator Leroy Percy said that
he never claimed it was legal, his con-
tention being that the primary was a
primary by agreement and would be
binding upon those Democrats who par
ticipated in it; also that the choice of
the November primary naturally would
be the choice of the Democrats in the
August primary of 1911.
Moreover, Senator Percy said that the
man nominated in the November pri
mary would not have to make a canvass
for the 1911 contest.
Should Gov. Noel refused to accept his
resignation as senator, in the event he
should be defeated in November, Sena-
tor Percy declared that he would wait
until the legislature convened in 1912
and then present his resignation.

The Wav of the Reformer.

Every new truth which affects life
must pass through a period in which
it is hated before it attains the per-
iod in which it is loved. What people
dread is change; what they wish is to
be let alone. They will kill the re-
former, if they can, and only those
reformers who refuse to be killed, but
who for years together go on savage
ly, patiently, tenderly reiterating the
same message in the end have their
way, and are believed.-Rev. Elwood

Use for 16-lnch Gun,

1t is suggested that the 16-inch sun
now lying unmounted at Sandy Hook
be sent to the Philippines and mount
ed on the Notifications now under con-
struction at Corregidor island for the
defense of Manila. This gun would
command the channel there, which
the 12-inch gun will not do, and it
can deliver a bow at distance of

frame and armor bearing of the ship

mittee, in which they agree to a joint
debate and canvass of the State for the
senate, the primary to be held November
next, and both to abide by the result as
per the resolution adopted by the Legis-

WINNING PRINCIPLES
FOUGHT FOR FORTY
YEARS..

Aprcpos of the Prohibition
party's fortieth anniversary,
which is being celebrated this
September, it is interesting to
note some of the principles
which have been unswervingIy
+. and constantly advocated by
/ that movement during the past
( forty years. These items are all
taken verbatim from various
national Prohibition platforms
from 1860 to 1908. Once laugh
ed at as fanaticism, these decIa-
rations are now coming to be
enthusiastically supported by a
majority of the American peo-
pie.
+ The Dominant Issue for Forty
Years.
The traffic in intoxicating bev-
erages is a dishonor to Christian
civilization. inimical to the best in
terests of society. a political wrong
OF uneQualed enormity. subversive
Of the ordinary objects of govern
ment, not capable of being regu-
lated or restrained by any system
OF license whatever. but impera-
lively demanding for its suppress
sion effective legal Prohibition both
by state and national legislation
Platform 1869.
The Liquor Traffic and Labor.
The liquor traffic is the robber
which lessons wages and profits,
foments discomfort and strifes and
is the destroyer of family welfare.
Labor and all legitimate indus
tries demand deliverance from the
taxation and loss which this traffic
imposes.
No tariff or other legislation can
so healthily stimulate production
or increase the demand for capital
and labor or insure so much of
comfort and content to the laborer,
mechanic and capitalist as would
the suppression of this traffic
Platform 1884.
The Question of Party and Pro-
hibition.
We declare that there are but two
real parties today concerning the
liquor UNDERGRADUATE and
Prohibitionists.- Platform 1900.
Experience shows that any party
not openly opposed to the traffic
will engage in this competition. will
court the favor of the criminal
classes. will barter the public NOR
ais. the purity of the ballot and
every trust and object of good gov
eminent for party success.-Plat-
form lS72-1SS4.
To secure the enactment and en-
forcement of prohibitOry legislation
It is necessary that the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of
government should be in the hands
OF political party in harmony
with the Prohibition principle and
pledged to its embodiment in law
and to the execution of those laws.
Platform 1904.

for eight hits In succession, which, to-
Eather with the errors. netted ten
runs.
The first ave runs made by Amherst
were due in the main to the wretched
fielding OF Baird, who made his debut
at second base. HumA varsity out
fielder for the past tso years, made
his first appearance OF the season
under more favorable circumstances.
The first time up he lined out a beau
