PRINCIPLE, NOT MEN.
Chairman Barnes, New York, Issues
Statement on Campaign.

New York. May Civilian Barnes,
Jr., chairman of the Republican state
committee, authorized the following
statement, this afternoon:
This contest is one of principle, not
Of men. If a majority portion of the ma
iority Of an electorate in some states
have not comprehended the meaning of
the situation and have become infected
by the personality of a candidate, it
does not in any way change the situation
nor affect the duty of the delegates from
the state of New York, who will go to
Chicago pledged to the platform of prin-
ciples adopted by the Rochester conven-
ton
History Is being made very fast and
those who are in the thick of 1t rarely
realize where they are going Mr. Roose-
Velt's platform which, if his candidacy
should be accepted. the Republican party
must officially endorse, is the rule of the
people without restriction through con-
stitutional form. Mr.. Roosevelt knows,
as every other student of history knows.
that no democracy can endure on that
basis and that the people themselves are
the first TO recognize this and turn To an
individual TO rule them. The duty of the
Republican delegates from New York
was never so solemn, never so clear,
never more patriotic than at this very
time when the needless and thoughtless
are willing to take the initial step for
the overthrow of the American consti-
tuition, with its honored guarantees to
each citizen that he can be protected
through the courts from the aggression
OF the government, the majority or a
single individual"

Gov. Wilson Appreciates Work of New
Jersey Democratic Friends.


Trenton, n. J., May Ex-Governor
Wilson had the following to say, to
day. on the result of the New Jersey
primary election, YESTERDAY;
Il never doubted the result but /
am none the less delighted and CRATE
full that the Democrats of the state
should have stood by me so gener-
ously ana for SO unmistakabIe a yer
diet.
Their approval makes me very
happy because it is their judgment
that the new regime in our politics
in New Jersey and means that the
new order is to be sustained with
steadfastness and enthusiasm. New
Jersey is permanently enrolled among
the progressive states"
Edward L. Grosseup, chairman of
the Democratic state committee. had
this to say:
THE result of the primaries must
be taken as a most emphatic endorse
ment of Governor Wilson and the pro-
gressive policies wl1ish he represents
and at the same time as a severe
rebuke to those who have. attempted
to divide the Democratic party in the
state. There cannot longer be any
doubt that Woodrow Wilson is the
real leader of the Democratic party
in New Jersey"
L. S. Senator Frank O. Briggs,
chairman of the Republican state
committee and defeated Taft candi-
date for delegate-at-large. said that
the result of yesterday voting made
it clear that a large majority of the
Republicans who participated therein
favor Colonel Roosevelt and his poll

that large percentage of the Repub-
lican voters of the state took no in
terest in the contest and did not vote

A MUCH LOVED SINGER.
Jennie Lind, Idol of Public, and
Guardian Angel Of Poor.

Jenny Lind fills a unique place among
the worlds greatest artists. She was
gifted 10 a marvellous extent in voice
and possessed, in a still greater degree,
goodness and generosity. Jenny Lind
was the idol of the public. not simply
on account of her talent, but also be-
cause she was the guardian angel OF
the poor and the unfortunate.
Perhaps the sympathy of the artist
for those in distress grew out of the
fact that she. too knew what it was to
be poor. Born of poor parents in Stock
holm, sweden. October 6. 1920. the girl
grew up in the cramped conditions
which poverty necessitates.
Her poor mother could not make both
ends meet, and so Jenny Lind went to
live with her grandmother in the Wi
dows' Home. The child was too young
to realize what privation meant ard
so. as she said later in life. she sang
with every step took"
One day a member of the Royal OPP
era Company passed the charitable fn-
stitution, and hearing a voice of mar
veious sweetness singing from one Of
the windows, she stopped to listen. She
looked up and saw a little girl of nine
years singing to her cat.
This child is genius" cried the
woman, rushing into the Widows
Home. she must be educated for the
stage" This was easier said than
done, for Jenny's mother, having an
old-fashioned prejudice against the
hisrrionic profession. refused to listen
to such proposition. She was per-
suaded. however, to let the little girl
sing for the court secretary and sing
ing master at the Royal Theatre.
The man was moved to tears. From
that moment the trend of Jenny's life
turned into different channels She was
taken into the Royal Theater, taught to
sing. educated and brought UP at the
Governments expense.
For 10 years Jenny Lind studied and
acted at the Royal Theater. These ear
~ years, full of hard work, were not
very happy ones for the young girl.
but all the time was developing the
most glorious voice the world had ever
known. She sang in all the great cour-
tries of the world and was received
everywhere with the widest enthusi-
