his individual vote counts for his
chosen candidate. 1t Is not sorted six
or eight times. 1t counts. That suits
him. He desires to govern himself as
nearly as may be. He believes in him
self and his neighbors wherein he diff
fers with those who assume and say
that he is not fit to govern himself.
The primary makes for his own per-
sonality. 1t is the essence Of majority
vote and representative government.
He deals face to face with those who
are pledged to do his will if his shall
be the majority will. That is why he
likes it.
That is why he will insist on presi-
Dental primaries. The presidential pri-
mary would count his vote in Wash
ington. Under it he is not to be beaten
in detail by minority. This preconven-
ton campaign is making it practically
CERTAIN that the next succeeding pres
idential candidate will be nominated
by popular vote and not by politicians
and the power of federal patrona ge.
The rules of the game are to be
changed.

Valuable Find of Manuscript.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery of Illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880, has just been made
in the library at Oxton Hall, says the
Nottingham (Eng) Guardian.
1t came about in this way: Tho
vicar Of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books in the library at his leisure.
While SO doing his curiosity was
aroused by a locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which he proceeded
to investigate. Its contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con-
veyed by the antiquity of their ap-
pearance that they belonged to tho
very earliest stage of the art Of print
ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1847.
The majority of them are folio vol
umes, and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planned boards OF
solid oak, and the books are bound
with stout leather faces, the backing
and lining being fragments Of illum-
mated manuscripts Of much earlier
date, cut up as waste with ruthless
indifference.

Money and Strikes.

lONlald W OrlQ fteralu.J
No one can doubt that conditions in
England are very serious If the strike
Of the coal miners continues for only
few days the whole kingdom will be
in a state of starvation. and when men
are starving there is no way to restrain
them. In this country there is also
serious trouble on account of strikes,
and not long since France was
struggling with the same difficulties.
In Germany on account &C ""rkrnen'S
liability and insurance laws there is
not SO much trouble. If England sue
ceeds in arranging the strike by a
slight raise in the rate of wages, how
long will il ne before the same trou-
bic will again occur if prices continue
to rise?
Every man who stops to consider the
matter must see that there will be
ever recurring strikes as long as prices
continue TO rise. The wages that will
support a workman and his family one
year will not suffice the next year if
prices increase. and the only thing
available for him to do is to strike. for
employers in but few instances will
raise wages until some such force is
brought to bear upon them.
Then these strikes have a tendency
to lead to more serious things. They
may mean an uprising that will shake
the throne of orderly government. Such
things have happened in the past.
Would it not be more statesmanlike
to prevent strikes and the turmoil and
suffering that attend them. rather than
to try with law police and troops to
settle them after they have occurred?
AS long as prices continue to rise,
strikes willy occur. and wages must be
raised. for the workers must have
enough to support them. The way TO
prevent strikes is to establish a
,nonev system that will maintain stable
prices from year 10 year. RAPIDLY fall
ing rrices bring lust as much distress
as constantl! increasing prices. The
