IS NO REsPECTER OF LAWS

St Louis Globe-Democrat: Such
primaries presidential preferential)
being without authority OF law, unreg-
ulated and uncontrolled by statute,
the opportunities for fraudulent vot-
ing they would afford would be enor-
nous. There could be no penalties
imposed for Illegal voting. Demo
Gratis might, in many districts, dictate
the selection and instruction of Re
publican delegates. Apparently it is
enough for Senator Dixon to know
that it is Mr.. Roosevelt who proposes
the plan. Law or no law, the fiat has
issued for him. If the prince at noon

AGAINST THE RECALL

The murder of all the court officials
at Hillsville, Va. by mob of noun
tain desperadoes because sentence
had been passed upon one of their
number is now being discussed from
the pulpit, and leading religious
teachers see in it a warning against
the recall of judges and judicial
decisions advocated by thouhgtless
and reckless politicians.
The unfortunate occurrences in
Virginia should be a lesson to our PEG
pie and should teach them to keep
their hands off our courts" said
Bishop Samuel Fallows in recent
sermon Such happenings show the
danger of lessening the respect and
esteem In which judges are and should
be held by every citizen"
Just as soon as the respect Of the
people for our institutions and par
8ticularly our courts, is in any way de
stroyed, then just so soon will We as
a nation find ourselves in trouble,

IOWA COUNTIES FOR TAFT.

President Taft started the present
week in Iowa with long lead over
his insurgent rivals in the race for
endorsement for the Republican NOM
ination. The lineup to date is as fol-
lows:
Thirty-seyen counties give Taft 535
Eleven counties give Cummins !. 1872
Two counties give Roosevelt :. 81
1t will be noted that thus far La

AN EASTERN LEGEND.


An aged man came late to Abraham's
tent:
The sky was dark, and all the
plainswere bare;
He asked for bread; his strength was
weil-nigh spent
His haggard looks implored the
tenderest care.
The food was brought. He sat with
thankful eyes,
But spake no grace, nor bowed him
toward the East;
Safe sheltered here from dark and an
CRY skies,
The bounteous table seemed roy
al feast.
But ere his hand had touched the
tempting fare,
The patriarch rose, and leaning on
his rod,
stranger he said, "dost thou not
bow in prayer?
Dost thou not fear-dost thou not
worship God?"
He answered Nay" The patriarch
sadly said:
Thou hast my pity. Go; eat not my
bread"
Another came that wild and fearful
night,
The fierce winds ragged and darker
grew thy sky;
But all the tent was filed with won.

And Abraham knew the Lord, his
