PREFERENTIAL; En- VOTING

In the approaching senatorial con-
test there will be four certainly, and
maybe more candidates. II seems
to be understood that there will be
a primary held, as In the Simmons
Carr contest, to ascertain the prefer
ence OF the people. The prospect is
that at such primary no candidate
will get d majority. of votes, as is re-
quired In democratic primaries and
conventions The feeling Is that we
shall have to call second primary,
with all its attendant expense and
yexations. To get around second
primary, am In favor of adopting
in the first primary the preferential
system of voting, which has worked
so wen IN wisconsin, and other west
ern states and which is now being
suggested by some OF our North Car
olina newspapers.
Preferential voting. as yet slightly
understood by the majority of the
people, is simple. both in principle
and operation. The names of all the
candl "a at@ flor domination to an Of
flee are put ON the same BALLOT with
blanks opposite the names in which
to mark crosses indicating first, sec.
ond, third, and fourth choices, and
so on. Thus:

And all the flowers are gay,

Aud tumble in the hay.

From lands behind the hill.

And makes me very still.

Greed. selishness, the tendency on
the part of many individuals to Judge
harshly and without cause were dis
cussed by DR.. Johnson In his lecture
at the National Religious Training
School Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
In discussing the duties of subjects
10 fellow-men he gave several Illus
trations OF what the golden rule
meant. The rule as laid down for man
by Christ and mans conception OF
same and his actions were contrasted
by the speaker. revealing the inordi-
nate desires OF man and his mad rush
for gain. make money serve you and
the kingdom OF God" were among the
salient assertions OF the professor In
making a strong plea for the law as
established by Christ's action TO be
willingly obeyed by man.
The course In sanitary chemistry
taught by Prof. Pinyon, a graduate
OF Cornell University, and young
woman who Is doing much good in this
field IN betlefllg the sanitary condi-
