Lowells tribute to Agassiz as ex-
pressed in the foregoing, might easily
constitute a pen picture of Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the United States
Navy.
Secretary Daniels spent yesterday
III Pensacola. He expressed himself
as delighted with his visit, but to say
that Pensacolians were delighted with
Secretary Daniels would be putting it
mildly. He captured them completely
and without the utterance of a com
mand on the firing Of a gun.
Perhaps the recollection of former
secretary's frigid presence some three
years before had something to do with
it, But that is hardly probable. The
recollection of that occasion simply
emphasized the plain, democratic,
cordial and altogether likable charac-
ter of the present secretary.
Secretary Daniels does not stand
upon form and he is no respector of
persons. He shook hands with the
train crew as he left the depot in the
morning and he shook hands and
spoke to every member of the navy
yard force-enlisted men, workmen,
and the officer in charge. He did the
same thing on the pilot boat. Pluto
crat and prolatariet, statesman and
ordinary citizen, all look alike TO Jo-
Sephus Daniels.

THE "cRookED" REFERENDUM.

The initiative, the referendum, the
recall, the direct primaries and other
issues and fads and so-called reforms
are getting their hardest knocks these
days from the "reformers'' or So
called progressives in both parties. As
a matter of fact, the sooner we begin
to do municipal, county, state or ma
tional business Just as we transact
ordinary, everyday commercial bust
ness the sooner will we be sailing in
common sense channels. This, from
the Lewiston Tribune. is timely:
president Woodrow Wilson, ac-
cording to dispatches, Is himself au-
thority for the assertion that the ref
erendum is being used in his own
state of New Jersey to delay and then
to defeat the jury reform law, which
the Legislature had written into the
statutes, whereat the Tribune is
threatened with heart disease. Just
as we seemed about to be brought to
the light in this progressiveism, along
comes its chief apostle and announces
that the sacred referendum is really
tool Of the reactionary interests to
defeat the will Of the virtuous legis-
lators. whereas 1t was written that the
referendum Is the sure battle AK that
lays low obstructive and predatory
legislators. So we are all at sea and
adrift again and everything is in .

to pierce the gloom of this starless

cast at them, are even more objection
able than the old fashioned caucuses.

vote probably because of the reac-

contest in the primary sufficiently
conspicuous to arouse general inter-

The fact Is that no cause whatever
is conspicuous enough to arouse such

is always so conspicuously small and
the vote on any party's candidates Is
apt to be so much mixed with the
possible to get any satisfactory re-
suits from the primaries; and, above
all, the primaries do not give major
ity candidates. If there are three or
more candidates for any office, 1t Is
the next thing to impossible to get
majority nomination, and where the
candidates are so numerous a very
small fraction Of the total vote gives
minority candidate who may receive
more votes than any other candidate
but still may not have more than one

vote.
