New York's first primary under the
new direct nominations law will be
held to-day, when voters of both par
ties throughout the State will pass on
the membership of the state, district
and other committees and will name
delegates to the State and nationa
conventions. Opinions differ widely as
to the merits Of the law under which
the primary is held. Although Tam
many had finger in the pie in for
mulating the provisions of the new
law, it Is understood that there is
much dissatisfaction, In the Wfgwam
over the size Of ballots to be used and
other matters.
Under the provisions Of the primary
act, all the names agreed upon by the
regular Democratic and Republican
organizations are placed on the official
ballots as 1.-The designates' of the par
ties. Any other names on the ballot
such. as those of Roosevelt candidates
for delegates asd committeeman, have
had to be placed there by petitions
containing the signatures Of at least
five per cent. of the enrolled voters Of
the party in the district.
Col. Roosevelt's opinion of the pri-
mary law is far from hattering to its
authors. He said:
"In New York the machines of the
two parties have co-operated to draw
up a primary law which imposes on
the people q system SO cumbrous. SO
involved, as to make 1t impossible to
get a fair expression OF public sentf-
ment and very difficult to get any ex-
preston of public sentiment at all.

new FLORIDA
WORLD -BEATER
Makes 22.54 Knots, Fastest
Rate Ever Reached by
a Dreadnaught.

Rocklanu. Me-, March 26-The bait
tleship Florida, a ship constructed in
q government navy yard, was put
through her PAGES over the measured
mile course yesterday for standardized
ton purposes. The highest speed she
made, 22.54 knots, is not only the fast
est ever attained by IAN American
dreadnaught but is a record for her
class throughout the world.
According to naval officers here, the
nearest approach to this speed was
made by II. M. S. Vanguard, one of
the newest British dreadnaughts. Her
top speed was $3.50 knots.
The tryout yesterday was of partic-
ular interest because the Utah, built
on the same lines by private builders,
reached a speed of 21.637 knots and
they were much pleased that the Flor
ida, built by the government, had ex-
ceeded that rate.
The ship made twenty-five runs. over
the course, and the high wind and
heavy seas had little or no effect upon
her speed. She burned coal entirely
under her boilers as the oil fuel tanks
are not yet in place.
The Florida will start on her four
hours endurance run today.

FIRST THINGS

The first street railway in New Eng
land was opened for travel fifty-six
years ago today, between Boston and
Cambridge. The first street railway
in America had been opened in Fourth
avenue, New York, in 1882. Horses
were used as motive power on bo'
the New York and Boston roads. The
first iron tramway in the world was
that between Croydon and Wands-
worth. England, completed in 1901.
London did not get its first street rail
ways until 1851, and in the following
year, the House of Commons having
refused to pass a street railway bill,
all the lines had to be taken up. 1t
was not until 1870. when street rail
ways were common all over the Unit
ed States, that the first permanent
'tramway'' was constructed in the
English metropolis.

The stars look up to the mighty God,
The stars look down on me.
The stars have lived million years,
A million years and a day;
But God and I shall love and live,
When the stars have passed away"
