PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARIES

cided by the voters in today's district
primaries Fierce fights have. been
waged in nearly all of the thirty-two
districts of the state. The Pennsyl
vania primary law provides for what
amounts almost to presidential pref
erence primary, since it states that

Louisiana Will Teach Newspaper Study.
Crystal Springs Meteor,

Crystal Springs Meteor,
The Louisiana Legislature has un-
der consideration bill making com
pulsory the study of newspapers in
the public schools of that state. If
this measure becomes a law, there
can be no question but that it will
work for the benefit of the pupils
and of the newspapers themselves.
The newspaper of today is not always
conducted on the plane those respon-
sible for it would decide. The rea-
son for this is found manly in the
fact that the demand of the public
must be met and that demand is for
the ephemeral rather than for the
permanent. A study of the newspa-
pers by the school children is liable
to bring about a demand for more
careful and extended presentation of
matters that have a bearing or the
affairs of TIE world in their larger
sense

PAT HARRISON MAKES SOME HIT
Speechmaking In Indiana For Democracy

From Gulfport Daily Herald, Oct, 10.
AS everybody knows who has been
keeping up with the news OF the day,
Hon. b. p. Harrison of the Sixth has
been up in Indiana telling the Hoo
siers few things about the presl-
Dental campaign and boosting the
chances of one Woodrow Wilson and
his colleague, Tom Marshall, MIR.
Harrison seems to have made quite
an impression among the lndianians
who have given voice to their adj
miration unstintedly.
The Muncie Evening Press of Oc-
tober says OF tae Mlsslssipplan:
Congressman Harrison is typi
cal young man OF the South, tall and
good looking, with pleasing accent.
Mr.. Harrison made speech IN the
interest of the Democratic party at
Albany last evening and returned to
Muncle this morning. He lett IN the
afternoon for Hartford City. where
he will make an address DIT night.
FROM Hartford City ne Will 90 to
Peru to address the crowd before
" oodrow Wilson arrives there to-
morrow.

The Muncie Morning Star says in
pi RI:
Congressman Byron P. Harrison
of Mississippi, one of the most fluent
speakers in the Democratic house,
addressed large crowd at Albany
last night in a meeting held under
the auspices of the Albany Woodrow
w llson Club. Hr. Harrison is max
ing short tour of the state under
orders of the national executive cam
palgn committee.
Most OF his speech was taken up IN
d discussion OF the record OF the
Democratic Congress, saying 1T has
been one of the most beneficial to the
country in many years. He bitterly
attacked President Taft for his veto
OF the tariff bill some time ago, which
caused much feeling among the Dem
ocrats.
How about the national election?'
be was asked.
Wilson will be elected beyond any
doubt. The Republican party is split
III two parts while the Democrats
are united 1t will be a landslide
this fall for the Democrats. The
Bull Moosers down our way are as
strong as the Republicans. Colonel
Roosevelt passed through my dis
| trlcb last week and large crowds came
out to see him.
Does that mean than he will get a
large vote next fall?
No. said large crowds came out

The amendment providing for
changing Section So of the constitu-
ton to read BE it enacted by the
PEOPLE of the state of Mississippi"
from BE it enacted by the LEGIs-
LATURE of Mississippi, is good in
theory but faulty in phraseology,
considered in connection with the
Initiative and Referendum provided
for in another amendment to be vo-
ted upon in this same election, in
that it will create confusion in ter
minology, for those laws enated by
the legislature should so read as
Identification marks to distinguish
them from acts passed by the people
direct by either Initiative or refer
endum. Were it a proposed statu-
tory law we would vote for it as it
stands trusting to later efforts to
get it amended, but enwritting it
into the constitution inadequately

sensuous In Nude Art To Be Avoided.
Y. 0. Christian Advocate.

N. O. Christian Advocate.
We have scant respect for nude
art. There is a tremendous power
for good or evil in suggestion. A
noble sentiment expressed III paint
ing or IN sculpture may be a perpet-
ual source of blessing and inspira-
tion. On the other hand, picture
or stature which suggests the i'm
pure may kindle in a mans bosom
the unholy fire of lust and start him
in paths which lead him to the deep
est degradation. We do not doubt
that the scale of human destiny has
often been turned by ali appeal to
the passions made by a scene exhib-
tied upon canvas or III marble. They
who would keep clean must seek to
shut out evil thoughts. 1t is most
significant fact that in the exhumed
city of Pompeii, where it is known
that RIGHTEOUSNESS fiourished openly
and without restraint, art in all of
it's forms was thoroughly sensuous
and debased. Parents cannot be too
careful in selecting pictures for the
walls of their homes. And many of
the prurient calendars sent out now
adays should be excluded, as one
would quarantine against a con tagi-
Gus pestilence.

ton is concerned. Those skilled in

we'll agreed that it looks like a Will
son landslide. The situation has
been closely canyassed and there
seems to be no doubt about enough
states going doing demo cratic to safe

way there s one thing quite apparent,
and that is that we have such pre-
ponderance that neither the straight
Republicans or Rooseveltians can
elect their tickets, SO in the remot-
est possibility it would narrow down
to secong battle fought out III con-
gress, but they will ne'er get that
chance If we can see things straight.

Let every elector of Greene Coun-
ty give the three constitutional a.

cordingly to law in this issue. a care
full reading and consideration. Some
comment thereupon is pertinent in
this connection. The one providing
for nine or more jurors returning d
verdict in civil cases in circuit aud
chancerv courts, is but tardY rec
Ognition of the democratic doctrine
of the rights of the minority to de-
muir and removes the iron pressure
of compulsion from off of their brow,
which would extort a stultifyirg as
sent to the major sentiment of the

lastingly of the contrary view. Such
provision has already been made ia
several states and is working well
and has the sanction of the state bar
association of Mississippi as well as
the ointment generally of the people

The ticket in Mississippi is yard
long by the rule, but not difficult to
vote as the three Constitutional a.
mendments take up most of the space
On account of it's face having no
changes on it, the matter of printing
was not so difficult as would have
been had it been complicated that
way, and to insure accuracy and uni
formitY that portion Of the job was
syndicated by large number of the
printers at some saving, otherwise
the expense would have been quite
heavy. Long tickets will become
common with initiative and referen-
dunn, which weapon will likely be
frequently invoked in city and coun-
ty affairs to make obstinate boards
no longer obstructionists but obey

The other amendment the Init
alive and Referendum is on e
of prime importance and one
that we can heartily commend,
though we have not been particular
ly an enthusiast on it for the good
reason that we thought it at present
far ahead of the popular need on ac-
count of the necessity of first produ-
cling in Mississippi better educated
electorate, but we realize that good
time to secure such a democratic
clause In our organic law is while
public sentiment is now favorable
and the opposition is powerIess to
render a telling fight against 1t, and
like many other Constitutional claus
es it can stand in that document la
tent until its need will make it act
i've. Let that come as quick as it
may be. Already we have some ref
erendum but mostly of a federal and
state constitutional nature. Surely
the people should have the right to
repeal any law legislatively enacted
which is repugnant to their inter-
ests, and then again they should en-
Joy the right of initiating wholesome
laws which the elected lawmaking
body declines to put through, how
ever, much these rights may not be
exercised, and we wot that with such
rights provided for, the future legls-
latures will be that obeisant as to
render it unnecessary to pursue eth
er of these courses to secure such
laws, as they will themselves fore
stall such action by making or re-
pealing them before initiative or ref
erendnm is invoked. La its local APP
plication we quite agree with Gov.
Wilson, is the way the /. Il r. will
most likely be most employed and
serve an active purpose.
