Independent Socialists and Nation.

Berlin, July 20.-(By A. P.)-The
Reichstag by an overwhelming majority
yesterday approved the agreement made
recently by the government at Spa with

The resolution approving the Spa
agreements was presented jointly by the
three coalition parties and the Majority
Socialists. 1t declared that "the Reich
stag duly appreciates the motives which
actuated the government in signing the
agreements at Spa
The resolution was opposed only by
the Nationalists and Independent So

iZation of the coal fields, but were sup
ported only by the Socialist factions.

time would create an impression among
the Entente that Germany was seeking
to eyade or delay the carrying out OF
the obligations assumed at Spa.

A WHITMAN MUSEUM

THE purchase of the Walt Whitman
4 house by the city of Camden as
sures the preservation of the building
with which the latter years of the life
Of the poet were associated. In fact,
II is the only house which could be used
as a memorial, for it is the only one
which he lived in for any considerable
period.
The fame Of the man increases with
the nassing Of the years. His personal
cruditics and the crudtics in the verse
offended many of his contemporaries,
but we are beginning now to discover
that he had a great vision of democracy
and that he described it in language the
significance of which increases with
time.
Camden is wise TO make arrange
ments to -perpctuate the memory of his
life in that city and thus to attract to
It visitors who would not otherwise &c
there. There is likely to come time
when the simple building will be re-
garded as symbolic of the democratic
spirit Of the man who occupied it,.

THE PRIMARY FARCE

TNHOSE good people who believed the
4 primary system would enable the
voters to make their nominations re-
gardless OF what the politicians might
say must be regarding thc proceedings
of the New York Republican convention
with some msgivings.
The convention was called to select
n candidate for the governOrShip to be
nominated at the primaries. The lead
ers agree on the man, the delegates ap-
prove him and then the voters at the
primaries are allowed to go through the
form of nominating him. The conv"n
tion performs all the essential functions
of the old fashioned convention which
actually made the nomination. The
primary is a supcrhuity in New York
ut the present time.
OF course, conditions may arise when
the people will turn down the candi
date nominated in a pre- primary, and
we suppose that the advocates Of the
system will insist that it provides way
out for the dissatisfied voters, BUT it
does not seem to be much more than
this at present.

Dublin, July 20.-Rcnewed activity
