It's practical operation. For this rea-
son we believe the legislature should
GO no further at this time than TO
amend the law to the extent that seems
demanded by public sentiment.
In the first place. the law should
be amended in a manner that will eff
fectually protect a political party in
the control of its own primary. The

fall, a theft that was deliberately plan
ned and carried out openly and boast
ingly and which could not be blocked
under the provisions of the direct
primary law. The legislature should
by all means pass an amendment that
will make a repetition of this outrage
impossible.
Under the primary law as 1t now
stands an aspirant for office finds 1t
necessary to make a thorough cam
paign for the nomination and if he Is
successful he must repeat the opera
ton for election. In the case of
candidate for state office. this double
campaign imposes a heavy expense
and discourages many deserving men
of limited means from entering the
race Thus candidacy for office be-
comes largely an individual matter,
for while the candidate is affiliated
within a party, his efforts to secure
support are more in the nature of a
personal appeal than in the name of
the party, and he is therefore fire.
quently disposed to make appeals and
promises which would not be sanction
ed by his party, but for which his
party is held responsible If he is
elected Under this system the peo-
pie have little opportunity to estimate
the qualifications OF candidates for
state offices, and are therefore liable
to be imposed upon by men who would
receive scant consideration if their as
pirations were submitted to represen-
! tatives of their party. To remedy this
situation 1t has been proposed to
amend the primary law so that can
didates for congress and state offices
will be nominated by party conven-
tions made up of delegates from the
various counties selected in primary
elections. This plan would preserve
all the SO -called safeguards of the
primary system, relieve candidates of
the heavy expense of double cam
paign, tend to induce more desirable
men to seek state office, and firmly
fix party responsibility for official
conduct.
There are doubtless other changes
which should be made in the primary
| law, but these named stand out as the
most conspicuous and we trust will re-
ceive legislative action.

Where are Their Names9
(By Rev. D. NJ. Helmick.)

Corporal Green: Where does his name appear
In the list of casualties? On the rear
Page of the Daily News. What in the war,
Did he do? Just look at that awful scar
Made by a saber at the battles front
Where he led his squad to bear the brunt
Of the enemy's rush in mo mans land
And the fighting was bitter hand to hand
Private wood Just where will find his name?
In a iumbed column with more OF the same
What did he do that his should be writ
More conspicuous than the rest in that pit?
Didn't they find him just here he had lain
For DAYS and nights from the time he was slain?
1lyhat more could he do to deserve place
On the front of the news with larger place?
we might call the list of the thousands slain
Or wounded severe for humanty's gain
Each one of whom is deserving place
TO most prominent hero could grace.
But we look in vain on the printed page
For a suitable place through we look an age
Let us turn away from the slight thus given
These heros of ours, their place is Heaven
In humanity's cause they fought and bed;
While some have survived yet many are dead.
At the "Reminiscences shrine is their memory sweet
Though it waits in vain the returning feet
And the years will pass in their onward flow
But we can't forget for loved them
on the heart of the world there you will find
in honor preferred their names enshrined.

COON DANCE A
HUGE SUCCESS

4 r. r. y =
The Woman's Book Club were the
originators and hostesses oil one of
the most novel and enjoyable dances
held in some time. A large gath
ering entered into the spirit of the oc-
casion aud some of+our most ,sedate,
abandoned all decorum under a coat
of black and turned themselves free
for real good time. Mrs. Mckay,
Transformed under the aforesaid black,
greeted all gentlemen with the affec-
tionate words: :"gib me yo dollah or
git out OBJ heah." She got the dollars
alright and not few Mrs. Johnson
presided at the 'limnde stand" but
made ones mouth ache for water
melons. Then there were numerous
mammies, Mandas and Topsies-
enough to go round so there was no
occasion for the use OF "razzers" by
the colored gentry present.
Mrs. Rawson made.a perfect Topsy

were all making eyes at her, when in
came the Minstrel coon and appro-
priated her .'all to hisse1f." They
whirled off into an eccentric dance
for which they had and needed the
whole floor--creating quite some
amusement.
~ The old decrepid darkey as enacted
BY Mr.. l.. Scott was realistic and re-
minder of slavery days. Mr. Stocker
made an elegant and pious looking
parson, but forgot his calling and en-
couraged his flock to go the limit
even if they were on the gay road lead-
iY1g away from the right place. Bert
ram Hill was the Minstrel coon and
with his jolly Topsy-Mrs. Rawson,
led the grand march cutting all kinds
of new capers. It was really jolly
affair. Keep the good work up ladies
and you will soon have that building
