Primary Election Pointers

explanation of the new primary law:
There has been considerable con-
fusion with reference to the Primary
Election Law, particularly as to who
is entitled to vote at the primaries
and as to the manner of voting.
Under the direct primary law only
two parties are entitled to participate
therein and cho ose their candidates
for primary election; namely. the
Republican and Democratic party.
There will be bnt two ballots; QUE
the Democratic ballot and the other
the Republican ballot.
TO vote at the primary election to
be held September 10, 1912, it will be
necessary to register in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter l27 OF
the Session laws of 1911.
Each person who expects to vote at
the September primaries should see
that he or she is properly registered
as provided by law.
The election law provides that the
registration board shall, in addition
to the days now provided,sit for the
purpose of registering the electors on
Saturday and Monday proceeding
the primary elections between the
hours of a. M, and p. M, of such
d,vs which registration shall applv
for both the primary and general
election. (Applies where no perma-
nent registration).

WE'RE RUMoRs ONLY.

During the absence of Major
Butt, who lost his life in the Titanic
disaster, many conjectures being
made as to the purpose o. his visit to
Rome, rumors of all kinds were set
afloat, the most ridiculous being that
he had been sent on a special mis-
sion to the Pope. These have all
been set at rest by the following,
taken from a letter written by G. D.
Hilles, secretary to President Taft:
"The President feels Major Butts
loss keenly, and is only consoled by
the knowledge that he gave up his
life as a soldier and man. There
is absolutely no truth in the report
that Major Butt was on a mission
to Rome. The sole object of his trip
was the senefit of the long sea
voyage, and in--order to add to the
interest of his trip the President
gave him a number of formal notes
of introduction to personages in
Rome whom he knew. None of the
letters contained more than formal
introduction"

HONESTY IN SERVICE.

The principles that should govern
in public life we're forcefully set
forth by the Jesuit Father Gasson,
when he gave utterance to the fol-
lowing in recent discourse at Fall
H0nmnd to serve our
co add conscience: II we
ar viii, I'm some service to our
city Of te. the church tells us that
for every dollar received We should
give 100 cents in return and for
every hour sixty minutes OF labor.
Just because a man is employed by
the Government does not justify him
from failure to his duty, for 1t is Just
as much a crime to rob the State as
1t is to rob the other phases OF labor.
II we rob the Government We are
bound by the church to make the
proper restitution to the Govern
ment. We should serve our country
to the best of our ability and when
electing a man to office we should
not look to see II he could hand US
some fat office, but elect man that
will stand up for the peoples rights,
man of true patriotism who will
serve his country as he would his
own personal interests. He should
serve his country faultlessly and ac-
cording to the highest principles of
civic pride and integrity. Those who
handle the powerful influence OF the
vote should elect to State OF city
government men whom they know TO
be worthy OF the position"
These are principles that we would
commend to the Guardians of LAb-
erty and other like anti-American
organizations, who would destroy all
righteous government to reach their
selfish ends.

WILL NOT AVAIL.

The Herald sounds a note OF
warning that Democrats would do
we'll to heed: FOLLOWING the strife
between Republican factions, which
so far as louisville is concerned was
patched into a truce, the political
leaders Of that party will welcome
the evidence that harmony is not to
reside within the ranks Of the Demo-
Gratis. If the Beckham wing of the
party can start little real trouble
In this city it will vastly better the
chances of the Republicans next
year" The Post and some others
are doing their utmost to this end.
They would lure the Democratic
party to destruction, but fortunately
their tactics are known and wa not
avail.

well may Irishmen lift up their
hearts in thanksgiving to the God Of
Freedom, for the day OF their coun-

Democrat on the Irish home rule
bill, OF which II says:
The bill is a really great measure,
the expression OF an honest resolve
to make amends for past wrong and
10 settle the Irish question on broad
and generous lines. Ireland is TO
have control OF her own affairs,
including with limitations her own
finances. Certain controls are to be
exercised designed TO furnish safe
guards--not so much against pos
sible misuse OF power as against the
fears that a minority OF Irlshmen
profess to entertain OF such misuse.

preston OF distrust, need have and
We think will have no objection to
their being provided, If by this
means the anxieties of a section OF
their fellow-countrymen may be
allayed. Secure in their own self
knowledge and in their innocence of
those mean and sordid designs with
which their adversaries profess to
credit them, they will gladly assent
to, and even welcome, any form of
reinsurance given to the minority in
ireland. The future they aspire to
is one in which Irishmen % all
creeds and OF every clan may be
given the opportunity of working
together for the uplifting of Ire
land, just as all sections of English
men work for their own country,
and as Boer and Briton are working
today to establish a great nation in
South Africa, and as the many races
that live under the Stars and Stripes
combine to raise the glory and the
status of their adopted country.
There will be no class ascendancy in
ireland under home rule. Irishmen
Of the patriot party have never
ceased to strive for the welding to-
gether of the North and South, for
the extinction of factions, the OBJ
Iteration of class hatreds. and the
creation of bond of Irish national
brotherhood. That feeling was never
stronger than it is today, and If the
safeguards in the home rule bill
tend to break down the artificial
barrier that separates one half of
Ulster from Ireland, great purpose
will be achieved.

Hebrews Gift to Cardinal
Gibbons For Catholic
University.

Cardinal Gibbons, who is Chancel-
lor of the Catholic University at
Washington, was the recipient ON
Friday of last week of a gift of
$25, 900 for the university. The
donor is a wealthy Hebrew from the
Middle West, but his name is with
held. He said that he regarded the
Catholic church as the great bull
wark in the United States against
bad features of Socialism and an
archy and for the unfolding of law
and order" Moved by these consid-
erations, he offered the sum named,
to be paid in five annual INSTALL
ments, either to found a lectureship
by means of which Socialism would
be studied, analysed and attacked,
or five scholarships for students who
would pursue special investigations
along the same lines. The Cardinal
accepted the scholarship offer and
expressed his gratitude.
