AMERICA IN "PURE" SCIENCE.
(Chicapo Record.Herald.)

lCnlcagO heCOTu'tteTdluJ
Even among educated Americans
the remark is often heard that too lit
tie first.rate scientific work, research
or abstract thinking is done in our
country. The regret Is expressed that
we should be so pactical, not to say
so commercial, and that we should
specialize, in applied science, inven'
ton, industrial art, etc, and neglect
the purer and nobler sciences. Yet
here comes the editor of the new Bril-
tannica with spontaneous, significant
tribute to American scholarship of the
purest and most dlsinterested type
For British encyclopedia he found 1t
necessary and profitable to enlist the
services OF American savants and
thinkers In connection with such sub
jects as palcontolOgy, astronomy, Mo
hammedan Neutrality-suspicious. Eng
land is the greatest Mohammedan
power-orienta antiquities, Christian
ity, clfmatology, etc. What this means,
says the editor, is that Americans
have caught up with the Old World
and are supplying their share Of origi'
nal mind stuff for the whole world to
digest and profit by" This testimony
will be read with pleasure In Ameri
can universities, Institutes and scten
tlfic societies. There Is no fattery In
It-just truth and fact. No, we are
not too practical and commercial 70
cultivate pure, abstract and noble
science. The dollar mark Is moi
stamped on our higher activities in
the way charged by hostile critics o.
pesimlstically admitted by INSULT
GENTLY informed Americans OF com
mendable idealistic sympathies.

DEMOCRATS REVOLT AGAINST
"a SENATORIAL DIcTATIoN.

"A very considerable portion of the
Independent Democratic press Of the
States refuses to be muzzled by the
Watson. Chiffon combination. Demo
cratic papers like the Shepherdstown
Register, Braxton Democrat, West
Union Record, Williamson Enterprise,
Pan Handle News, Huntington Adver'
User and the St Mary's Oracle insist
that the Democratic platform promis,
ed favorable action on a primary cleo
lion law and 1t is the duty of the
Democratic members OF the legislature
10 support such legislation. Here is
what the Williamson Enterprise says
on the subject:
& I'VE see some OF our Democratic
neighbors are inclined to oppose the
legislation asked for by the governor
sat the special session OF the leglsla'
tt1re. This seems very strange and in.
consistent to US, besides being very
nndemocratlc but the weakest part OF
the objections are the reasons assign
ed therefor.
"They pretend to be afarid of the
shrewdness and ability Of Ex-Governor
Dawson in framing these measures
and taking advantage of them after
they are passed. We believe we have
as able men in the Democratic party
as Mr.. Dawson; we believe with two
thirds of the House Of Representa-
;tiyes and an even break in the Sen
ate we should be able to take care OF
the Interests Of the Democratic party,
We should certainly be able to take
care OF any "iokers" or riders In any
legislation that may be framed before
IT is allowed to pass"
In the same vein, the Huntington
Advertiser says:
1.-THE Democrats have promised the
State primary law. The legislature,
one.half Democratic at least. has been
Ecalled in special session, TO enact a
