THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

New Yorks primaries and Indiana's State con-
Venton resulted in just what had been predicted and
expected In each case, the importation Of Southern
machine methods, supplemented by reversion to the
old-faShioned procedure of the Boss Tweed and
blocks of five" days, accomplished the result.
Indiana will send twelve Roosevelt and eight
cen Taft delegates to the national convention, assum
ing that yesterdays State convention will be accepted
regular and its delegates at large seated Roose
welt captures almost half of the States delegation
in spite of the determined and extreme methods en-
poyed by his opposition. 1t stands as the biggest
victory that the cause of popular rule has yet won
during this campaign.
OF New York. nothing need be said Persons
familiar with the New York primary" law, know
from the time it was passed that it was in fact
highly ingenious device to prevent any possibility of
the people expressing their preferences about cand
dates; device to gag the people, and then allow the
political gang to speak by the voice Of the people.
1t is the most dangerous of all laws of its Sort be-
cause it gives the senblance of popular mandate to
the edict issued by the Bosses
In order to get away with the thing, however,
the New York county bosses had to overstep some-
what the limits this law permits, and it is threat
ened that primary entirely may be ordered.
Ballots were not provided at many Of the polling
places thousands of voters unable to vote; the
count is understood to have borne particular
ations to the votes cast but merely to the necessities
of the side in control of the polling
Even in so scandalous an affair as this, however,
there is one consolation 1t has given New York a
demonstration of the absolute necessity for real
and respectable, primary act Last week North
Dakota held a primary, after a bitter and intense
campaign. There has not been suggestion of crook
edness, manipulation, suppression fraud. The
people voted the votes were counted, the result ac-
cepted instantly.
New York, on the other hand though there was
small interest, no excitement and absolutely no need
for complications, managed to turn out a scandal OF
fine proportions, simply because its law is an invita-
ton to scandal. 1t is one of the bad laws that will
be bettered as a result of this years fight for popu
lar government

BELIEF IN GOD us
INDEPENDENT OF BIBLE

To the Editor of THE TINES:
In reading the letters of the Chris
tians In the Mail Bag. / notice they
all seem to think that everyone that
differs with them is an atheist or in
fidel. Now, am neither l am a deist,
and believe in God as absolutely as It
thing. Even IL fail to comprehend his
Intensity and immensity. l still fail to
have a doubt. ] do not believe in the
Bible, or that II has any connection
with God, and If / believe every word
of it, l don't see that II would have
any bearing between me and my God,
because everywhere ] go l see Gods
wisdom, power, and justice, and with
the spirit that he has placed in me and
every other human being. Also, I can
get all the information / need without
1t, or any minister, past, present, or
future, Christ included.
i believe the churches of all creeds and
countries (none excepted) have done more
harm than any other institution or power
known to the world since the creation
and their ministers have been their
active principles. They are founded on
intolerance, hypocrisy, and brutality. I
have read in paper that one denomi-
nation contemplates building a church
In Washington to cost $3.50, 900, which
would probably pay minister SIS, 900
per year to preach love and charity.
Now, how many widows and orphans
would that amount keep in comfort.
while the ministers follow some useful
have spent good part OF my life
trying to forget the absurdities taught
me in Sunday school.

ASKS WHY NOT USE
SHELLACKED BREAD

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Now that the question of the use of
shellac OIL candy is to be discussed and
settled by the Food and Drug Inspection
Board Of the Bureau of Chemistry as
reconstructed after the retirement of
DR.. Wiley, II would seem to be a good
opportunity to extend its beneficent use
beyond the popular peanut brittle and
dainty chocolate, TO a wider and more
appreciated field for the preserving OF
bread. Paper wrappings and bags are
expensive, and more or less unsatis-
factory for various reasons, but think
OF the advantages of coating each loaf
Of bread with a nice, clean, surface of
shellac. or other varnish. It would pre-
serve the bread indefinitely. II the loaf
collected dust in transit, it would only
be necessary to dust it of carefully,
before using. If it fell on the floor, or
got dirty, 1t could be washed with soap
and water. Always, we have the clean
and germ-proof surface, for what germ.
pathogenic or nonpathogenic, could live
on lshellac?
Machines could be made for dipping
each loaf with accuracy and precision
into it's bath of shellac, reducing the
expense of treatment to a negligible
quantity. If the price of shelac should
increase with its use, no doubt Some
way could be found to overcome this
disadvantage; perhaps II could be adult
Grated with some inexpensive and harm
less ingredient, thus improving its
quality and keeping it's cost low.
Indeed, the consumer might purchase
heavier loaf for the same price as
now. r. S. W.

UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN

AS suggestion to f. L. Orton In his
perplexity on economies of dress
Florence Kelley is one Of our closest OBJ
servers of labor conditions. In scoring

tnelr seltshness, thoughtlessness, and
ignorance In regard to the condition un-
uer which their finery was produced

extraYagant woman had more magma

In a sense we all do that-produce for a

CHEAP LABOR AT
LAWRENCE MILLS

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
II Massachusetts Farmer has not
bcen convinced yet that the statements
I made anent the Lawrence strike were
true, and did not emanate from my
feminine brain, l think the following
cut from Current Events, published this
week at Springfield, Mass, ought to en-
tighten his ignorance:
For fifty years and more the excuse for a
high tax on imported fabrics has been that
It protects American labor against the
New England city filled with the cheapest
pete with American workpeople at their
own doors. Where IL the protection?" asked
the opponents OF a high tariff. Better Inn
port the products OF foreign cheap labor
than import the foreign cheap labor itself!''
And this argument was having great weight
with the public, not only in Lawrence. but
throughout the country. 1t was taken up
IN Congress and had great weight there.
Not that there was anything new in II.
Congress had heard II before, many tlmes.
But now the Lawrence strike had driven II
into the minds OF n great number of people.
Children Of the strikers, mosr OF them from
wretched homes where no English is spoken.
were taken to Washington and examined by
committees OF Congress.
Farmer spoke very jauntily OF my ig.
norancc, but events and proofs have
conclusively shown that the Ignorance
belonged to Farmer. S. c.

PASSING OF THE OLD GRIsT MILL.

Attention has been called to the fact recently
that the old-fashioned grst mill is one of the time
honored institutions which have taken their place
with the things that we're. The roller mill and the
patent process have crushed them out as if they
were the grain itself.
There is nothing new in the announcement, for
the old method of grinding has been falling into dis
use for these many years. 1t Of the pathetic
facts which people liked to forget, for with the
mossy mill wheel, the foaming mill race where the
perch hid under the rocks and the drowsy drone of
the upper and the neither millstones passes much
of the sentiment and charm of life as our forefathers
knew it..
There was a picturesque and Companonabe
quality about the old mill which had no rival, per-
haps except the village smithy which still abdes in
spite of the science of efficiency and the trusts and
yet it not in these abstract attributes that the
old mill excelled exclusively. There was a whole
some flavor about the water ground meal" to which
the cereal products of today cannot attain. Before
the Northwest Territory became the dusty miller OF
the nation it was possible to find the raw materials
for lye homny, and from its succulent kernels was
prepared dish not only worthy of Lucullus, but o
an American citizen. The biscuits lacked that sus
pcious wheness which in latter days hints of adul
terants and the country butter seemed to melt
readily into their warm and welcoming hearts The
very memory of corn pone sprinkled with crackllns
brings tears to the reminiscent eyes of age.

PLEASING CONFIDENCE
IN OWN SUCCESS
To the Editor OF THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In the Mail Bag of Sunday IAN I'm
believer" writes: Give some positive
proof that the Christian reIigion-or any
religion, take your Choice-is true, and
will be only too glad to show you where
you are wrong" What a pleasing con-
fidence this unbeliever has in his own
ability to achieve success.
After an April downpour a boy that
had been born blind groped his way out
TO a balcony where his friends stood
admiring a beautiful rainbow. For a
while he listened in silence to their eX-
pressions of delighted admiration. They
had forgotten he was blind.
At last he broke out in violent protest
against the darkness surrounding him.
What is light?' he cried. Il don't be-
lieve in it! I can't touch II and I can't
feel it "Oh, yes you cam" said a
kind voice somewhere in the viewless
space: you can feel II. Place your
hand here, in the shade. Now here. in
the sunshine. Can't you feel the differ:
ence?" But this Is heat" objected the
boy. Yes, and whenever you feel II
you know that the glorious sun is shin
ing above you as he Is now, painting or
the sky an arc of violet and orange and
red"
Thas we are given the eye. the organ
of vision. and we know light: the ear
and we know-what? Nothing! That Is
strange. indeed! The conscience is the
moral faculty, or sense through when
We may know God and our relationship
TO Him. In a moral sense, II Is the eye
of the soul. When II Is awakened ano
enlightened we have that inward CON
sciousness OF God, which no inf1del ar,
gument can by any possibility reach. 81

LOOK AT SAVIOUR
FROM ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
lntemperance begets intemperance,
and intolerance begets abuse. Profess
ing Christians who substitute intoler-
ance for faith and prejudice for under
standing are directly responsible for
such letters as II. S. Wallace writes
on the 2Sd, and no one has a right to
resent his language until his questions
have been answered
l will ask Mr.. Wallace and such
others IS consider this question OF
atonement worth studying to look at
the Saviour from another point of view
as a way-shower-and to study His
life and teachings as of one who had a
clearer and higher understanding of the
meaning and object of life, and who de-
voted his life to the purpose of demon
strating and proving His teachings 10
an obstinate and unruly world-even 10
the point Of allowing the mob to cruelty
Him, that He might prove the power
lessness of their hatred over One who
was at one with God by arising bodily
from His grave.
II and NV Father are one" He said;
also: "Of Myself can do nothing" and
my Father and your Father" The

ONE CHRISTIANITY is
NOBLE AND ENDURING

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
suppose no intelligent person Will
deny that discussion is the channel
through which We come to the truth

led round by the church halter, are the
ones who deprecate discussion and in
weigh against freedom, and take TO

Gus followers of the LAMB t:), or

that he might stand In corner after
a hundred years, and hear the return
ing dead relate the story of their fu-
ture state. He left no doubt how great
would be his rejoicing II he could only
see upon each of these the ravages OF
a birthstone hell. God loves mercy; but
does Mr. King forecast it? Just one of
the numerous evidences that the church
is not divine, but is human insu-
tuition that is decaying, as all NOR
tality must. There is grave suspicion
that the professional frock-tillers mis-
apprehend Him who spake as never man
spake. Now comes also Mr.. Belt, EVAN
gelist." The title, on first impression,
is O badge of intolerance and bigotry,
though not all evangelists are bigots.
The coarse marks of church collar
gals repel; but who ever heard of the
sweetness of Christian temperament
having like effect? The voice of his song
is despotic suppression and injustice. He
is in line with his ancestors who CEN
sored their fellows, dictated their
opinions. and burned them at the stake
II they would not lie about their con-
victions There are hundreds of re-
ligions to fit the varying traits and cir
cumstances of men, but there Is one

OPTIMISM IN THE COAL FIELDS.

From all parts of the big middle Atlantic coal
field come advices that the differences between
operators and miners are likely to be settled, in
fair way toward settlement, before the end of the
month. 1t is admitted that there may be suspen-
sion of mine work for while, but it is generally
doubted that there will be any long and disastrous
strike such as occurred decade ago. This optimism
may be somewhat exaggerated, but at any rate,
there is encouraging absence of bitter talk and of
the exasperating charges and counter-charges that
inflame the disputants and often lead to quarrels
that cannot be patched up until the public has suf-
fered, as we'll the quarrelers.
1t is true that the spokesmen for both sides
say in their latest statements that there will be no
yelding but of course it is certain that one side
or perhaps both sides, must yield more or less.
The way in which to do yielding successfully
and mpartially is through an extension Of the Erd
man act. And the operators may as we'll recognize
that the public will not quietly endure the distress
following strike without taking every means to
press home and fix the responsibility.
