AS TO THE WASHINGTON PLAN.

Several days ago The Norfolk Land
mark called upon the press of the
State to pass judgment upon Speaker
Byrd's proposal that the Washington
plan OF securing majority nominations.
by means OF first and second choice
ballots. be incorporated In the pro-
posed Virginia primary law. The
Lynchburg News replies as follows:
The News favors the general OBJ
jectiye, OF majority nominations; but
II Is not at all sure that the wash
ington method OF insuring the same
is TO be preferred over others.
TT be entirely frank with our con
temper airy. we take the position that
there is no iHpelling reason why reg
i,,lation Ct this especial character
should be furnished at all.
"A primary law should, in our judg-
ment, leave methods of nominations
TO party authority-and ii a primary
bs invoked thereby. then the plan OF
the same should be filed with the
Secretary CT the Commonwealth. and
come within the scope OF state
authority--be held at the States ex-
pense-and under State laws designed
to promote pure elections. We ,hink
It should be left 10 political parties
to deter mine Just what questions as
our esteemed contemporary presents.
Thus il the Democratic party should
elect to try the Washington plan and
the experiment. be found unsatisfac-
tory, then the party itself could Ell
feet a change without having To go
tc the legislature asking for the re
peal of an enactment. The less arbi-
trary: the less stringent a primary
law. the better"
As this paper understands Il. Mr..
Byrd has eliminated the compulsory
feature of his primary bill and. as this
measure is the only one worthy of the
name that at this time seems liks ly to
get before the assembly for considera-
ton. the ACCESSIBILITY OF leaving meth
DDS of nomination to party authority
is net in issue. A party may or may
not employ the primary, under the
proposed law. but II the primary is
invoked the expenses shall be paid
by the State and the election must be
conducted according TO the law. And
a primary, the expense of which IS
born by the Commonwealth. should be
condgcted upon a plan prescribed by
the State. II the compulsory feature
is TO be eliminated and parties al
lowed to make nominations in any
way they see fit. let the parties bear
their own expenses except when fhey
desire t. hold priusary In accord
ance with the provisions of State
law. Otherwise 1t would be better TO
pass no primary bill at all and allow
each party to wrestle with its own
nomination problem. its actions limited
only by the pure election law.

TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT NOT
ENOUGH.

/. Discussing the report of the ieg's-
Rlative committee Of tho Anti-Saioon
L. ague and commenting fayorably mp
sn the recommendation that the
league appeal to the assembly for the
passage of an enabling act, providing
thar the statewide prohibition ques-
ton shall be referred TO a vote OF
the people upon the pstition of GER
tain specified percentage of the quail
fed voters. this paper yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion that a number
equal to % per cent OF the voters
participating In the state election last
preceding ought not TO be considered
sufficient to render such n petition
effective. Thexe are reasons for th's
opinion which seem to be sound.
In the first place, % per cent OF
the voters participating in the last
preceding election usually would mean
something like 10 per cent of the
qualified vote. Thus. very small
minority would be, given the power to
demand of the assembly that vote
s...sssra> On prohibition wheth'r or
rrary EXISTED a strong sentiment
preShout the State In favor of Tach
mon
Tp.
.hsyen the most ardent advocates OF
,rohibiticn hardly win contend that II
Is desirable to cast the State into the
throes of prohibition contest unless
there is a strong probability CT an
anti-saloon victory. From the point
of view of the prohibitionist.s, nothing
could be gained by this. When this
statewide contest comes. II II ever
docs, II viii be the b.tterest fight
Virginia ever has seen; relatives and
friend.s viii lined up against each 9th
err. and no matter which side may
win, a generation probably will have
passed befose the hard feelings en-
gendered by the CAMPAIGN are for
gotten. Therefore. every precaution
should be taken to prevent such a
campaign being launched unless it is
made necessary by an imperative de-
mand from a probable majority OF the
Virginia voters.
The fact that % per cent OF the
voters participating in the last pre-
eeding State electicn might b. willing
TO sign a petition calling fer a vote
on prohibition. this paper is con-
vinced. could not be accepted as a
particularly strong indication that
probable majority favored prohibition.
At tie most this % per cent would
represfn; only about One-hfth Of the
Virginia voters. and probably AT any
time. in spite Of an overwhelming
public sentiment against prohibiron.

WHAT Is CIvILlZATION7
The other day the dispa tehes told an
interesting story about the aeroplanes
circling arsund the sphinx and the
pyramids In Egypt
Whereupo1 the editor Of 4 Ne n
York newspaper wrote q two column
editorial about the advance Of civiliza-
ton since the days Of the building Of
the pyra mids.
Certainly II is long cry from the
sphinx to the flying machine.
we 60 not know what purpose that
inscrutable face Of stone half buried
in the sands was meant to serve.
Nor do we know how the pyramids
no steam or electricity. no derricks to
lift the vast stones and no dynamite
to blast them out OF the quarry.
We only know that great swarms Of
slaves lived and died at the task.
We have made great progress since
the day when some master imagina-
ton saw in his vision the contour Of
that great stone face that for centuries
has looked out over the desert sands.
But how:
True. we have taken great leaps in
the matter Of transportation and loco
motion.
But what boots it that We can boast
Of our flying machines or Of an ex-
press train that goes from Chicago to
New York In eighteen hours? Is that
civilization?
What is civilization?
Our books on economics say that civ
flization consists in the organization of
industry. the accumuia ton OF wealth
dispersion of thrift. invention. etc
what the New YORK editor says.
But great Frenchman told us
hundred years ago that these things
were but the civilization Of the ant hill
and the beehive.
The ants and the bees organize in
dustry. accumulate wealth. dispense
thrift, and. what is more. they organ
lie governments and maintain law and
order.
No; these things Of which we boast
are only the indices Of civilization
sort of byproducts.
Civiliza ton is more than these. 1t is
the near realization Of the ideals Of
the best men and women Of our day.
1t is more than the development of
mind. 1t is the development of the
HEART.
Civilization is that state Of society
where men and women FEEL as well
as think.
Civilization-the real thing-is prog
ress along the line Of human brother
hood. 1t is ORGANIZED KINDLI-
NESS. True civilization consists in the
spirit of HELPFULNESS.
If the editor wanted to compare
something that really showed our
progress he should have compared the
pyramids with great modern hospital
or asylum or home for the friendless.

Money Needed to Raise the Maine.
From the Washington Star.
Another hitch occurs in raising the
Maine out Of the mud Of Havana har-
Dor. Sentimental and commercial rea-
sons urge that the wreck should be
removed and the bones Of brave men
probably resting in the hulk recovered
and given honorable interment. The
neglect OF this historic ruin is ma
tional reproach. and the wreck is an
impeachment to navigation as well as
an eyesore.
The present hitch is because of an
inadequate appropriation for the work
Of removal. The Loud bill authorized
the secretary OF war and the chief
of engineers Of the army to proceed
with the work and appropriated $780,
600. Gen. william L. Marshall, chief
Of engineers, reports that the sum
mentioned Is not sufficient for the
construction OF Golfer dams. which
work Is preliminary to the raising Of
the wreck.
This matter OF the raising OF the
Maine IL an example of the cumber-
some process Of legislation. The peo-
pie OF the United States overwhelm-
ingly desire that this work be done.
