PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Tbe
~ Rev. George Chalmers Richmond,

church, forgetting the world"
accepted proverb "De mortuis NIL
nisi bonum,'' delivered a startling
sermon. His remarks in the criticism
of the Astor will are of public inter
est in connection with the criticisms
which have been made throughout the
country during the last. week. ln tins
respect DR., Richmond had this to say;
uWe are filled with n patriotic
shame after reading the will of John
Jacob Astor. Ho was man of great
wealth and as such he stands forth at
the bar Of Justice aud the Christian
conscience Of the American people.
What our American multimilllonalre
must remember is this: That if ne ex-
poets to shine in glory hereafter he
must reveal certain traits of the ideal
TO us who are his contemporaries.
Compares Two Wills.
s'What a difference between this
will and that of DR.. Francis Bacon, the
great surgeon of Yale, who died last
month. He was a poor boy, Through
toll and skill in handling his small in
come he left an estate OF 100000. Or
this 100000 goes To a tuberculosis in
stitution. A few thousands 20 to other
equally worthy movements and the resi-
due to help poor boys through Yale.
oh. how much greater is such a man
than Astor!
"No man ought TO be able 10 leave
more than $4,000 ut most, after giving
away generuos sums to religion. edu'
cation and charity. We must so order
our laws that such estates as Astor s
would be impossible in the future.

PICKING COTTON,
PLANTING COTTON
Happened In the Same Field
Yesterday

Out upon the farm of Mr.. Stephen
Roach, near Americas, a scene out of
the ordinary was presented yesterday
in one of his cotton fields.
Mr.. Roach is a worker, and upon
one side of the field he had several
negro laborors engaged in planting
cotton for the next crop, while in
another locality Mr. Roach was busily
engaged picking cotton of last years
crop, of which he has several acres
as yet untouched by the hands OF
cotton pickers.
Scarcity of labor has prevented the
picking of this remnant of the last
crop, but it is valuable now, with
prices soaring, and Mr.. Roach is 60
ing to market every pound of it even
though he has to do the picking with
his own hands.

THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN

An exposition on an unusually large
scale, and one of many novel features
vii open at the Coliseum, st. Louis,
this evening and continue two weeks,
including two Sundays, for the cause
is one of the highest morality as well
as of universal interest. A Childs
Welfare Exhibit of this magnitude is a
new event, though the idea is as old
as the first human family. No matter
how much mankind are divided on So
cial and political ideals and methods
there is but one opinion as to the duty
to give each generation an improved
chance to realize the best objects of
existence. to this end enlightened
races are laboring in various fields,
and it would be unfair to say that even
savages are without a like aspiration
for their offspring. But while the de-
sire exists everywhere the efforts to
realize it must be intelligently direct
ed to be effective. Organizations and
public movements are the sure signs
of progress in the work.
child is the man or woman of the
future. Children grow up to come
into possession of the world and to
conduct all governments. Their well
fare is in the hands of the generation
that precedes them. The presidents,
legislators, captains of industry, phil
anthropists, reformers, inventors and
geniuses of literature and art of forty
or fifty years hence are, for the most
part, among the small children of to-
day Much sooner the potential mass
of average men and women, now chill
dren in the course of training, will be
in control of general affairs, and
earnestly intent on passing to their
successors larger advantages and OPP
portunities, a truer Interpretation of
how to make life noble, useful and en-
joyable.
These purposes, warmly recognized
by all, are the basis of the exhibition
at the Coliseum. 1t seeks to make the
essentials of the subject better under
stood and to direct attention to many
things in the rearing and cultur OF
children that can be promoted when
morec learly comprehended What
will be shown, and the programs from
day to day will not be commonplace
or perfunctory. On the contrary, the
exposition will be full of fresh inter
est, with continuous features that will
richly repay visitors. st. Louis car
point to it's schools as one example OF
its position on the welfare of children
and it is proud and glad to be tn
scene of this admirable exhibit.

INADEQUATE PRIMARY LAWS.

None of the direct primary laws re-
Gently tested has proved satisfactory
in operation. Defects have been found
that seriously affect their real value
as practical reforms.
In North Dakota the law is so loose
ly drawn that numbers f democrats
took a hand in the party contest Of
the republicans and swelled the anti
taft majority by voting for LaFollette.
In this city the ballots were of suc1
inordinate size and so complicated in
arrangement that what should have
been trif1ing legal delays made it i'm
possible for the printer to provide
them in time for distribution at many
of the polling places.
In Massachusetts the new primary
law made it possible for the majority
of republican voters to express a pref
erence for Taft and yet the Roosevelt
delegates at-large We're elected. On
the democratic side the delegates
chosen were pledged to Gov. Foss, but
on the primary ballots the party Wit
ers were restricted to choosing be-
tween Clark and Wilson, and in Penn
sylvania there was no chance to ex-
press a preference for any candidate
but Wilson.
! The pretense that the direct primary
system as it has been tried assures
the people an absolutely free express
ion of opinion is anything but justified
by the facts. The theory is admira-
BILE; in practice it has not worked.
Cannot any Of the direct primary
Enthusiasts frame an adequate law? Is
there no body of legal and political
exnerts, and no state anywhere cap
able of producing a primary system
lat really deserves to be generally
adopted New York World.
