border materials which come both In
cottons and silks. Everything seems
to be finished with sumptuous bor-

a deep fringe OF self material falling

Presidential Preference Primaries,

one good thing is almost certain to
result from the present aggressive
campaign for the nomination for presi-
dent on both the. Republican and
Democrat tickets and that is presi-
Dental preferencelprimaries.
This will probably be the last cam
paign in which the old methods Of
selecting delegates, who select dele
gates, mass conventions, committees
selecting delegates, etc, will ever be
used to nominate candidate for presi.
dent We believe that before another
presidential election rolls around presi-
Dental preference primaries will be
provided for In every state and that
they will be real primaries where the
voters will have an opportunity to
register their choice for president, so
that the people will have as much to
say about the selection OF their candi-
date as they have about electing him.

II this is brought about 1T will be
worth all it costs In ambitions thwart'
ed, hopes blasted, friendships broken
and business losses, because 1t will
place politics on higher, cleaner
plane, place the power TO select candi-
dates where 1t should be In the hands
of the people, instead Of in the hands
of few politicians.
Col. Roosevelt in his campaign for
nomination is making strenuous fight
for for preferential primaries and re-
gardless of whether he wins or loses In
the fight for the nomination, he Is
going to win victory for direct pri-
maries In the future. He has made
the fight on this issue so warm that
his opponents have had TO concede
that he was right and agree to aid In
securing the enactment OF laws provid-
ing for presidential preference prima-
ries.
This is one step towards the elimin-

Machine Politics.

Is President Taft afraid TO submit
his candidacy for denomination direct
ly TO the people of his own state 1t
would seem so.
AT the meeting of the Republican
State Central Committee at Colum-
bus last week, arrangements were
made for the manner OF selecting del
egates from Ohio 10 the Republican
National Convention. he friends OF
President Taft controlled the commit
tee.
The friends OF President Taft are so
afraid of the people that they tried TO
put through resolution which con
tained a joker, that was uncovered by
Chairman Walter f Brown. BY this
resolution If a congressional commit
tee failed to make call for the selec-
tion OF delegates at the primary, the
committee was authorized To select
them. Attention was called TO this
provision and an amendent intro
duced by Chairman Brown, requiring
the delegates TO be selected at the May
primary. Chairman Browns amend
ent was first voted down, but two
members changed their vote and 1t
carried IL TO 10.
The original resolution was for the
purpose OF taking away from the peo-
pie any voice in the selection of dele
gates, allowing committees to select
them, the rankest kind OF machine
politics.
The Roosevelt adherents on the
committee also introduced resolu'
tion, allowing candidate for delegate
to the National Convention 10 place
after his name tine candidate he fay-

Congressional Situation.

The suggestion OF President Fess, Of
Antioch College, as candidate for the
Congressional nomination. recalls 10
mind the fact that for the last two
general elections Greene county has
presented the Republican candidate
for Congress and both times he has
been defeated, and we can not help
feeling and saying that for few years
| Greene county should be willing to
modestly occupy back seat, especially
as she has not only furnished the can
dldate twice but also supplied the asst
Republican Congressman. Greene has
been in the Sixth District lime light
quite long enough; let us give some
other county chance. That was one
Of the ideas the Journal had In mind
two week ago when 1t approved the
candidacy Of DR.. II. M. Brown, of
Highland county. Besides being an
ideal candidate, personally, and man
who would so capably represent this
agricultural district, we thought it
was only fair and just that the candi-
date come from Highland, for that
county has not had the Congressman
since the close Of J. j. Pugsley's term
in 1891. Since then, Clermont has had
Hulick; Warren, Brown; Clinton,
Doan, Hlldebrant and Denver; Greene,
Scroggy. 1t is Highlands turn, and,
anyway this district wants to elect a
Republican Congressman and If DR..
Brown is the candidate Che will be
elected Wilmington Journal. The
Journal in this article we think has
very clearly given the situati N in this
district and expresses the feeling and
belief Of most of the Republicans OF
the Sixth District, as to- the Greene
county situation and Highland coun-
ty's claim to the nomination.

ored for president. This the Taft
people voted down l5to , II this res
olution had been adoJted candidate
for delegate TO the National Conven-
tion would have had following his
name, Favors for president Theo dore
Roosevelt or Favors for president Will
liam II. Taft. The resolution as put
through by the Taft people means
that the names of candidates for dele
gate will appear on the ballot without
any designation as TO whom they are
for and some will probably refuse to
state.
The actions of the Taft people in
attempting TO place the power TO Sc
lect delegates in the hands Of commit
tees and refusing TO allow candidate
TO have printed after his name who
he favors for president shows that
they are afraid of the people that
President Taft is afraid to have the
issue made plain one between him
and Col. Roosevelt, even In his own
state.
If President Taft really favors di'
rect presidential preference prlmar-
les as he has said he did, why would
he permit a committee that he con-
troll ed TO take such actions? There Is
only one conclusion to be drawn and
that is that President Taft is opposed
TO direct primaries and that his state
ments are only lip professions that
at heart he wants the people TO have
as little as possible to say about their
choice OF candidate for president.
Another thing thatimakes the ac-
ton look very bad is that the resolu-
tion that the committee voted down
last week. was identically the same as
the one adopted in al9O8. At that
time the committee was also control
led by President Taft, but he then
thought 1t was to his advantage To
have the name of the candidate for
president that the ldelegate favored
printed after the name Of the dele
gate and he was for 1t. And 1t was
done. Now after the people have had
three years time in which to see the
kind of chief executive he makes, he
is afraid TO let them register their
choice.
II he is not afraid OF the people why
Is he not willing to let the issue be-
tween him and his opponent be
clearly placed before the peopleT
All that we can gather from the
actions OF his followers on the State
Central Committee is that President
Taft is attempting to secure renom
ination by any means, regardless Of
the wishes OF the people.

Boy Scouts.

Carey Roush's Sunday School class
gave unique entertainment at the
Christian Church last Friday night.
The class is known as the "Boy
Scouts" and 20 of them ranging in
age from 10 to Is years, took part in
the exercises The ease with which
they performed the more difficult
parts, proved that they were we'll
trained In the work laid down In the
Scout Movement. The mothers of
the boys were present and we're high
ly pleased, especially, at the know
ledge displayed by the youngsters in
bandging and caring for the wounded.
Altogether, 1t was good illustration
OF what is being accomplished by this
great movement.

GRAND RAPIDS BUSI-
NESS men HERE

The Trade Extension excursion OF
Grand Rapids, scheduled to reach here
Wednesday at p. m., appeared on time
and were met at the depot by represent.
ative citizens with automobiles, who
took them for drive around the town.
There were 100 in the party, including
the Furniture City band of 20 pieces.
Every wholesale business of the city was
represented, with SO different lines of
trade. The object is to learn the coun-
try, meet old trade and create new by
coming 10 contact with the business OF
their respective lines. The train was
made up of four Pulmans, Observable
car, baggage car and smoker.
Paw Paw has the distinction of being
the first town to offer souvenirs to the
visitors. Upon visiting the grape juice
factory, the proprietor, Arthur Miller,
gave out pint bottles of the product of
the factory to each one, and thereby
they will remember Paw Paw and her
enterprising hosts.
The train left for Lawrence at 4:45.

PrOgressive's Candidates

SMALL CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
Paw Paw Turns Out About 100 Strong

Candidates.

Last Friday at about o'clock the in
habitants Of this village were set agog
by the ringing Of bell. 1t was not a
very business-like sounding bella lit
tie more vigorous than a scissors grinder
and considerably less excitable than the
fire bell, but as we can compare it to
nothing else, we will say about like an
invitation to an ordinary auction, or per-
haps like the old fashioned call for
school before the advent Of the modern
bell. The reporter needs some clothes,
and needs them badly, and thinking it
might be street auction, up the street
he strolled, and when he came to a small
squad of people he stopped to see what
was on, and 10, the curfew had done the
business. Here was a pitiful handful
OF men, say about 100 all told, intent up
on learning Just how it was done at Chi
cago and just what the outcome will be

was in commemoration Of the once
adored Teddy and the scheduled meet
ing OF the "Bull Moose party in their
swing about the county.
State Senator Whitney Watkins, pro-
gressive candidate for governor of Mich

senator and is well qualified no doubt to
fulfill the requirements OF either field,
but it is doubtful il he can persuade
enough people OF the state to accept his
theory that he is just the man for gov.

The speaking took place on the corner
OF Kalamazoo and Main streets. Aboye
on large banner were the smiling faces
OF the standard bearers of the Bull
