| BY bill filed in the chancery cour
on Monday afternoon the Tennessee,
orphan Home seeks to enjoin tho cit,
oi Columbia from closing or obstruct
ing Galloway street between the neu
county High School building and the
orphan Home. 1t is charged in the
Dill that this property has been in
lact dedicated to public street pur
poses but that the city is busy now in
building a rock wall across a part ot
IL p y
The bill in the case was filed by
Hatcher & Hatcher, solicitors for the
complainant and fiat was obtained
Tor an injunction from Judge ]. Trim
mcknight, OF the county court. The
street in litigation is an extension Of
Galloway street, or that part of it that
mas been used for some years as a
part of the athletic grounds of the
city and county schools.
1t is alleged that the land covered
py the street was originally convey
ed to the city of Columbia for street
purposes as is stated In the deed Of
conveyance, and it is charged that the
tennessee Orphan Home did not ac.
quire the lands upon which it con-
structed its buildings until after 1t
ascertained that the street in ques
tion would be dedicated to public pur
poses.
1t is further alleged in the bill that
some time after the purchase of the
lands for the home by consent Of the
Tennessee Orphan Home the city was
permitted to place temporary fence
across the street in question, but
thereafter the city was duly notified
that complainant desired to use and
open the street and the city authori-
ties agreed that the same should be
taken down
In spite of this understanding It is
further alleged that the city has com
menced to haul dirt and rock upon the
streets and is erecting across a part
Of the same a wall or obstruction as
a permanent fence where the tempo
rary fence stood.
The complaint declares that the |
Orphan Home is constantly growing
and that 1t has need of the street in
question as a means of ingress and
egress and that even if the city does
not improve the same the complain
ant is willing to place 1t in as good
shape as the other streets of that part
Of the city.
Complainant prays that the city he
enjoined and restrained from further
obstructing or closing the street, that
It be required to remove the fence Or
any distractions placed therein and
'or such other relief as may be nesa.

NEW PRIMARY LAW NEEbED


From the Salisbury Tribune.
We often hear, of late, expressions
of dissatisfaction with the present
primary law Of this State. The dis
satisfaction is not so much with the
idea of primary elections for the pur-
pose Of naming party candidates for
office as against the manner in which
the primaries are carried on and the
limitations the law places upon per-
sons wishing to be nominated to Of
fee.
Often we hear Democrats express
the wish that they were not compell-
ed to go through the kind of a strug-
gle they are in just now. They wish
they might be able to meet in con-
vention as of old and name a ticket,
not in the way it could be done If
the machine politicians we're not for
ever manipulating things to have
them for their own way.
The situation in which the Republi-
can party finds itself at this time is
almost ideal. 1t is in position to
go ahead and hold real party con-
vention which will not be manipulat-
ed by anyone. Such a convention in
order to be most useful does not even
have to be a delegate convention. It
could be a mass convention and ac-
complish its work just as we'll, if not
better.
Such a convention would find that
it may choose from among its ranks
men for every place on the ticket, and
that it is wholly unembarrassed by
the over-ambitious ignoramous who
thinks that mere party loyalty and
zeal are sufficient qualifications for
any office. II would not have to
name men who expect to employ sub
ordinates with brains to perform the
actual duties of the Office II would
! find its greatest difficulty in getting
men to accept office who are really
larger than the job. rather than in
lodging the necessity of naming one
of two incompetents only because no
competents are in the running
AS between the two conditions in
Wicomico in particular that of the
Democrats and that of the Republi-
cans, the latter is to be congratulate
ed. The Republicans will be prov
ing themselves very short-sighted and
lacking in political acumen if they
do not for this year at least take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to make
the Office hunt the man, and the best
man, at that.

means to continue her great eastern
offensive and etill press for decision
which might eliminate Russia from
the war, or whether she is simply
seeking to make the most Of recent
successes by taking a position well
within Russian territory and, while
defending this, sending her surplus
troops to some other field
With the fall of Warsaw Germany
obtained possession of the line of the
Vistula, with the Russian fortresses.
Here Is an admirable defensive line,
If Germany had chosen to halt. But
an equally good line is supplied by
the Niemen, the Bug and the Pinsk
marshes, which would give the Ger
mans control of all of Poland. Pos
sibly il is for this line Germany is
now playing
! Yet even the advantages incident
, to the possession of these defensive
lines would not and could not satisfy
Germany. She must dispose of Rus
sia or expect eventual defeat. Thus
there remains the greater likelihood
that German high command is still
bending its energies to obtain a de-
cision and planning a further drive
into Russian territory.
We do not know the condition of
the Russian armies. German reports
warrant the belief that their moral
remains good. Manchuria was an ad-
mirable example of the Russian ca
pacity to fight, retreat and fight
again. But II is automatic that pre-
cisely as long as there is a remote
chance for a decision in the east
Germany will work for il.
A gigantic turning movement COM
pelling rapid Russia retreat through
difficult territory may bring the de-
moralization of Russian forces. The
cutting of the Petrograd- -Bielostok
railway will deprive the Russian
army of its chief but by no means
its only line of communications. A
thrust at Petrograd. with the main
Russian forces separated from the
capital by a wedge driven from Kov-
no at wilma and Minsk. must be con-
sidered. A raid into discontented
Finland would contribute much to
embarrass Russia just now.
If Germany is looking for peace
she may have decided that it is i'm
practicable to demand Belgium or
any part Of French territory, and may
hope to find her compensation" at
the expense of Russia. Certainly
there are political as well as military
considerations discoverable in her
eastern campaign. But the exact
purpose may we'll be disguised for
many days yet.
In any event it is safe to say the
eastern campaign is entering its third
phase. The first was the clearing OF
Galicia. The second was the con-
quest of Poland. In both the Russian
army was the main objective and
escaped. II is necessary now to wait
for some sign to prove whether the
Kaiser's strategists are determined to
go on against the Car or to turn
west or south toward Calais or Con-
stantinople.

Kovno and The Eastern Campaign
(From the New York Tribune.)

By taking Kovno the Germans have
seriously compromised the Russian
second line, the so-called Niemen-
Bug line, which extends from Kovno
on the Niemen TO Brest-Litovsk and
the Pinsk marshes east of Kovel.
The Kovno army. now in close CO.
operation with the German army op-
Grating south of Riga. is farther east
than the main mass Of the Russians
retreating from Warsaw. These two
armies are in a position to strike
south and east, cutting the Petrograd-
Bielostok railroad al Wilma and the
Moscow w-Brest-Litovsk railway at
Minsk But the distances are great,
the country difficult and the possi-
bilities for Russian resistance un<
mistakable
Yet the natural expectation must
be now that the Russians will event
ually have to go back from the Brest-
Litovsk position and German ad-
vance will cut still deeper into Rus
sian territory What seems probable
is that the German high command
realized some days ago that their at
tempt to envelop the main Russian
mass had failed and that they then
began an alternative movement.
If, as has been reported, there has
been a large transfer of troops from
Poland to Courland, this detection
would put a very large German army
much nearer TO Petrograd than the
main Russian army and the mere
threat Of an attack upon the Russian
capital would compel the Russians to
attempt a similar regrouping of their
forces with Minsk instead of Brest-
Litovsk as centre and Dunaburg
instead of Kovno as a northern pivot.
With the fall of Kovno the whole
system of Russian permanent de-
fences on their western frontier
falls. Warsaw has been abandoned
Noyo Georgievck has been defended
as the French defended Maubouge a
year ago in their great retreat, sim
ply to hamper German transport
which depends upon the Vistula. Mau-
heauge cost the French 10000 in kill
ed wounded and prisoners, but it may
have saved Paris, and certainly held
up the German transport with dis
astrous consequences. Ultimately
Novo Georgievsk will probably cost
the Russians more men than Mau-
beuge did their allies. but this is a
cost calculated in advance.
What seems to be the meaning OF
recent events In the east is that the
Russians have been able to make one
more successful retreat, that they
have won clear Of the enveioping net
Of Hindenburg and Mackensen and
are retiring in good order upon
Brest-Litovsk, losing few prisoners
and next to no equipment But their
successful retreat has already led
their German foe to resort to new
movement, this time designed not Ia
envelop and capture but to compel
that abandonment Of the line on
which Russian high command had
decided TO stand.
II is not yet clear, and will NOT
be for some days, whether Germany
