Must Vote Party Ballot.

An opinion was given sometime ago
by Attorney General West to the effect
that voters at the primary elections
might call for and vote the ballot Of
any party in the primary regardless Of
party utilization but his opinion has
been reversed by the Court of Criminal
Appeals which held that the voter can
only vote his own party ballot. TO al
low the freedom of voting indiscrimi-
nately would defeat the purpose of the
primary election law which is intended
to secure the nomination of candidates
for office by the majority vote of the
party to which they belong.

WHY NOT SIMPLIFY THINGS?

, The Taft steamroer organization insists that
the Roosevelt delegates from the California Fourth
Congressional district be thrown out because fhey
were selected by State primary, held in :iolation
of the call of the Republican national committee.
But upon what ground are the Taft delegates,
defeated at this primary, to be gvel. creden-
tials? If the primary illegal, then no one who
participated in it has any standing. Neither was
there any pretense at any other method of selecting
delegates by the Taft forces in California
The only manner in which Taft delegates from
California can be recognized and seated is for the
national committee to create them, appoint the and
furnish them credentials If this is to be the process
why bother with eecting delegates anywhere? Why
worry about a national convention?
Simply limit the fight to the control of the ma
tonal committee, and then permit it to nominate the
President Vice President, and perform all other
functions of the national convention. Or if it is
excitement the committee Graves let it hire the
thousand and few delegates from among the loafers
and plug-uglies of Chicago divide them about
equally and let them have a pitched battle to de.
termne the principles of great party That would
be government by "a representative part" of the
people, perfectly in accord with Taft's theory and
the national committees practice.
The Washington times., 1912-06-11

Of the plutocrat is for himself and his
descendants to become richer and rich
er, and that too by the exaotion of trib-
ute from his fellow men. If the plu-
tocrat could measure his happiness by
the amount of his wealth, or II he could
transfer to his descendants the power
to continue as plutocrats, plutocracy
might be a virtue. But he can do
neither the one nor the other. In our
present social system, individuals, who
are not scions of plutocracy will be
created plutocrats, and with their crea-
ton there will also be created all sorts
of social derelicts. Among these latter
creatures, and the most wretched, will
be the recent descendants of wealthy
ancestors. These creations will be the
result of abnormal environments.
These abnormal environments are in
opposition to two of the main causes of
Caucasian superiority-namely, non-kin-
dred mating and life-lasting parental
affection. And 1t is in this antagonism
lies the anarchy of our social system.
1t is from this anarchy that arise all
sorts of social disorders. BY reason Of
this anarchy we neglect the conserva-
ton Of our natural resources, and II Is
from such neglect that we have such
disasters as the resent overflow of the
Mississippi river. 1t is from such anar-
chy that we have divided and antagonistic
judicial decisions. And 1t is this an
archy that is in opposition to the spirit
| of the preamble of the Constitution Of
the United States.
The reactionaries are consistent in
| their enmity to their own prosperity
and to their own race. In another let
ter I will show the crude relation be-
| tween the several progressiVes and the
! preamble of the Constitution.

The Present Political Contest, the
Caucasian Race, And the Anarchy
OF Our Social System.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In our present political contest at least
four of the so-called parties are mill
tantly active. These four are the De-
mocratic, the Republican, the Socialist.
and the Prohibition parties. II there is
any difference between Democratic
party and the Republican that differ
ence is utterly insignificant as compared
with the differences in each of those
two parties. In each of them there are
reactionaries and there are progressives
The main difference between these re-
dictionaries and progressives is that
which pertains to the present inequit-
able and iniquitous distribution OF the
product OF labor.
The reactlonaries advocate the contin-
uance of the present iniquities, while
the progressives advocate q change. 1t
is change also, though each somewhat
different. that Socialists and the Prohi-
bitionists advocate. Thus 1t is that we
have one set of reactionaries and three
sets of progressives.
In their advocacy of the present con-
ditions the reactionaries advocate the
plutocrat's so-called rights The object

FUNDS FOR OLYMPIC MEET.

The success which American contestants have
achieved in previous Olympic games stimulates public
interest in the fifth of these classic meets which is
take place in Stockholm next month. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that lack of funds will not prevent the
selection committee from carrying out the plans
which have been adopted as leading most certainly
to successful issue. Announcement is made that
unless an additional $25 900 is raised it will be i'm
possible carry along the full quota of contestants
originally planned and furthermore it will not be
practicable to charter the steamer Finland to carry
the athletes and their friends across the water
The latter plan has decided advantage because
the committee will be able to select the food and
accommodations which will be most beneficial to the
men. The Importance of this is shown by the fact
that in previous contests so per cent Of the con-
tesants after showing good form in the tryouts have
gone stale account of change of climate, improper
diet, or from other similar causes. The importance
of having the full quota of contestants in order to
make entry in all the events is equally we'll recog-
nized
The meeting at Stockholm will be one of the great
occasions in the athletic world and it would be a
great pity for American efficiency to be impaired IN
any degree by the lack of funds. II is hoped that
the required amount may be forthcoming and rhst
American contestants will show their heels to the
fleet and the strong men Of the world, as they
have done in the past.

MAILING A TITANIC FACT.

The inquiry into the loss Of the Titanic has
dragged its slow length along, on both sides of the
water, until there is little probability of new devel-
opments. In the course of the British investigation,
however, one of the directors of the shpbuildng
company which built the great leviathan, made a
plain categorical statement which, in the interest
of the truth of history, should not be overlooked.
This man, who had the best means of knowing what
the vessel required in the interest of safety declared
before the committee that lover and over again" he
protested that the Titanic plans did not call for enough
lifeboats; he submitted alternative plans for four
and two boats on each davit this was in the pres
ence Of j. Bruce Ismay and another director. Both
plans we're rejected because the British board Of
trade had not insisted on an increase in the mum.
ber of boats"
The maudlin protests against the "grilling' to
which Ismay was subjected in this country seem
even more than ever misdirected, and the bald truth
places him in more unenviable light than before
