Why the Times Union
Fails to Approve.

Speaking OF the presidential prefer
ence primary the Jacksonville Times
Union comes out boldly and admits 1t
does not favor the plan. The Virginia
convention falling to approve the plan
gave the Jacksonville plutocratic pa
per the opportunity to announce it's
disapproval. 1t says:
"On the question OF presidential
preference primaries the Times-Union
is poorly fixed for being a sorehead,
for its candidate, not counting his own
state, which was uncontested con-
tended before the people for sixty dele
gates and got every one OF them.
Champ Clark tried for 1877, winning
152 and losing tilirty-ive and Wood
row Wilson tried for 313, winning sew
enty -eight and losing 235 So as I'm
derwood has made a clean record for
success In presidential primaries a pa
per supporting him can't well get in
the sorehead list on the question. But
in spite OF the satisfactory results we
do not think well OF the idea of nomi-
mating presidents by primary vote.
The president differs from state Of
hcers and congressman in that he is
not the chief executive OF the people
but of a federation of republics. The
people do not vote fer him directly.
The people Of each state vote to de-
eide how that states ballot for presi-
dent shall be cast
The above is only q part Of the
argument. 1t speaks of the cost OF
the presidential primaries and among
other absurd things says woodrow
Wilson is the only candidate who has
had sufficient funds to make nation
wide campaign, and argues that the
expensel would ruin the plan.
As a matter Of fact the presidential
preference primary should be a very
inexpensive plan. II the newspapers
will give q reasonable amount of pub
LEFTY TO the campaigns there will be
no need for a big fund. The average
reader knows and the Times Union
knows that Woodrow Wilson spent less
money in his campaign throughout the
country than Harmon or Underwood
has spent.
Several times The Journal has
called upon the Times Union to say
whether It disapproved OF the primary
elections for state ONCE. but it has
been religiously silent about the mat
ter. Really the Times Union and its
crowd would have very slim chance
of ever getting a president If the
presidents were chosen directly by the
people.

Elements of Success
Are Within Yourself.

There are lots OF people who scru-
pulously avoid passing under a ladder
never come to a field without imme-
diately looking for a four-leaved clover
and who invariably look out for a new
moon to look at It over the right
shoulder.
Having done all this relisiously they
expect to be successful.
Have you not observed that. as a
rule, this IS about all that such people
do to help themselves, and that to
their surprise they fail?
Sentiment may be all right, but SUI
perstition is all wrong. The man who
trusts to luck for success Is bound to
fail. Success is built out OF more tan
gible material.
If you would succeed in life, never
mind the signs. Is It not better that
signs should fail than that you should
Trust in no superstitions. Trust
in nothing but yourselves, you must
trust, too, in the immutable laws OF
nature.

going to become imperative for a sin

accounted centuries the world and Au-
man life have been evolving in strict
accordance with fixed laws, and yoI
