THE STATE PRIMARY.

A Democratic State primary
election has been ordered to be
held on May 9TH for the purpose
of expressing a choice for Presi-
dent and to elect delegates to the
National convention at Baltimore.
The names of John Sharp Will
Jams, Earl Brewer, c. II. Alexan-
der, j. X. Vardaman and perhaps
others will appear on the ticket
for delegates-at-Iarge and only
the names Of Oscar Underwood
and Woodrow Wilson will be yot-
ed on for President. From this
District, Leroy Percy, A. f, Gard
ner, }. l.. Haley & Walton Shields
are candidates for delegates,
and there may be other aspirants
for the honor. The indications are
that the vote will be the smallest
ever cast in Mississippi, owing to
the fact that everybody will be too
busy with their crops on the date
of the primary to turn out to the
polls and vote. 1t is important,
however, that all who can should
vote in this election and send our
ablest and best men to the Ma
tional convention, We have here
tofore been represented by men
of great ability and craftsmanship
and we should not take a step
backward this time.

A WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

This is, indeed, a wonderful
country. In these days when, ac-
cordlng to the pessimistS, we
ought to see shrinkage Of trade
and financial panic, all the figures
go to prove that conditions are
unusually sound, We are passing
through a presidential year and,
il the old axiom held good, bear
spectators would be reaping a
harvest, whereas the bulls have
had the best Of il in most mar
kets. Congress is tinkcring the
tariff and the steel industry should
be IN a state Of collapse; but, as a
matter Of fact, the Trust" and
the independents alike report a
record business. The railways
ought to have a vast number Of
idle cars, yet the chief systems
are actually short Of equipment.
The politicians are bent upon
reforming everybody and every
thing in a hurry. We should
therefore, expect to see money
locked up and difficult to borrow
on any terms; but rates are mod
crate and the supply Of bonds is
ample,
The seeming paradox is, Of
course, mainly due TO the buoyancy
OF youth, The population grows
from year to year, and new lands
are brought under the plow; rail
ways, cities and towns constantly
feel the effect of the progress.
But we must also remember that
both the masses and the classes
haye(icarned to discount prophe-
cies Of doom and tread the ac-
customed paths, despite the up
heaValS Of politics. This change
is exceedingly fortunate, for re-
publican government would be a
failure, il we could not choose a
President without tearing the
country to pieces.
II would be foolish to deny that
fanatics and faddists are too active
for the nations good. But we
cannot have the benefits Of free
dom and shlrk its burdens. The
strong common sense Of the ma
will ultimately tell. Meri-
toriouS measures will be put on
the statute-book; the rest will be
thrown upon the scrap-heap. The
financial markets cannot be kept
in gloom when the reports show
few idle men and no idle cars. As
well might the doctors try to keep
healthy giant in bed and restrict
him to a diet Of cruel.
The sequence of disturbing
cannot last forever. With
n a little more than six months,
the presidential election will have
passed into history and the most
important disputeslbetween CAPT
al and labor will have been set
led, IN one sense or another.
With fair crops the railroads and
..actories will have more than they
AN do, whoever may be in the
House. Wise bankers and
merchants may find innumerable
Incentives TO conservatism, but
will find no grounds for despair.
\ country like ours is seldom
rood to sell short. Time Dem
,Crat.

GOING TO CHURCH

A Clergyman who for many
years had known the inside of a
church chiefly from the vantage
point Of chancel and pulpit found
himself disable not long ago from
the practice Of his profession and
took to sitting in the pewS, says the
Youths Companion. His exper-
fence there led him to write a let
ter TO a conspicuous church
paper, expressing wonder, not
that 50 few men went to church,
but that any went at all. His
letter called forth many rejoinders
from clergymen and Iaymen, of
whom some agree and some dis
agree with the position that he
took.
The whole episode is significant.
1t compels US to face the large ques-
ton Of outward religious observ-
anCe; to ask whether the churches
are affecting the life Of men as
they should, and if not, whether
the fault lies with the churches or
with the men. Our motives in
churchgolng are brought under
scrutiny whether we 90 for the
merely conventional purpose of
acting in conformity with our
most respectable neighbors, orfor
the sake OF supporting an institu-
ton that we consider useful to
the community; or because we feel,
perhaps without putting it into
words, hat the things that are
seen are temporal, the things that
are unseen are eternal. and seek To-
satisfy, by the accepted means Of
keeping hold upon things of the
spirit, an inward craving for iden-
tlfication with them.
These are questions that every
man has to answer for himself.
II none the3f motives operate with
him, and the habit of churchgoing
is dropped from his scheme of life,
he must ask himself whether he
wishes thus tacitly to ally himself
with those who regard the church
as an unnecessary institution; for
every one should follow his ex-
ample, the churches would close
their doors.
Some Of these questions may be
answered by the work Of the men
Forward Movement. This
enterprise, planned and conducted
by laymen, is based on the idea
that the ministers cannot and
should not do all the miniStering
10 present religious needs; and
hat the men of the congregations
nave an active part to play in the
luickening of spiritual life, in ex-
tending social service, in influence
ng boys, in bringing together, as
men organize large business affairs
he forces now working separate
y to a common end. 1t is a work
men for men, and the results
t has already achieved give prom
Sc that in the future there may
)e far less ground for lamenting
he divergence betweenthe church
the daily life of men.
The church undoubtedly has
IS shortcomings; individuals I'M
Ioubtedly have theirs. What the
.hurch can give, and what the
nan may get from it, Doctor

nd memorable words when he {
