ers who investigate and search for
truth with an open mind. Those who
had the courage to tell the result OF
these findings to an ignorant world
in the dark past werc discredited, per-
secuted and put to death. A free in
quiry into truth with a view to get
ting at the bottom of things seems TO
be distasteful to the great majority
of people. They have certain inherited
ideas which have solidified in their
ossified brains and which they fondly
believe to be their own. They do not
want these opinions to be disturbed.
They even resent any effort to en-
tighten them. They are victims of
their own short-sightedness and look
upon their own little horizon as be-
ing the boundry of the universe.
The boldness Of Investigators seems
to them almost criminal. They wish
TO be left in blissful ignorance, to be
undisturbed in their illusions. They
are absolutely incapable Of admitting
the truth of anything they do not un-
derstand.
In all ages men of this kind have
been found stupid and tranquil
sometimes in high places. Men who
would seek to deprive us of our nat
ural liberties by oppressive laws; men
who are corrupt themselves but would
seek to legislate a Puritanical and
tyranical form OF restriction on the
liberties of free men and women.
Civilization will advance very slow
~ while such men are in control of
the destinies of state and nation. Our
lawmakers are often very corrupt and
entirely untitled for the high position
in which we have placed them.
Another great hindrance to the
growth of intelligence Is prejudice
pre- ustice-judsing in advance. Theil
minds are made up in advance, be-
fore the facts are known; they don't
care to hear the facts at all-espccial-
ly IL they are unpleasant facts. II

we think, a solid body; there IL no

We hear harmonious sounds, but
the air has brought US only vndul:s
tons which are silent in themselves
but cause sensation in the ear which
we call sound. We admire the effects
of light and color which brings to our
vision the scenes of nature, but in face
it is only vibration of the ether inn
pinging on the retina which gives rs
the impression of light and color. We
speak of heat and cold; 1t Ia only diff
ferent rates of vibration. Thus vvs

know not from whence it cometh nor
whittier it goeth. Our poor five senses
are insufficient and inadequate. They
enable US to feel only a small number
Of the vibrations which make up the
life of the universe.
From the last sensation received By
our ears as sound, about 10000 vibra-
tons per second, TO the first optical
impression about 400 trillion per ser
ond, there is a wide blank in which
we receive no impressions; because We
have no sense organs TO receive them.
Whatever intelligence may be con-
tanned in this wide gap we do not
know unless We develop additional
sense organs.
Thus we see that the testimony OF

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
The general primary election law of
Texas. which election takes place on
the fourth Saturday in July of this
year has been adopted by Democrats
as the law Of the Democratic party
to govern it in its general primary
election.
The executive committees both of
the state and the counties are sup
posed to set forth rules and regula-
tions governing their own political
parties.
The Democratic party adopts its
platform after the general primary
in July.
Article 3096 of our revised sta
tutes under the general primary act
sets forth the test of each political
party, every one must state to what
party he belongs, and that he will
support the nominees Of that party
which rule is to be universal among
all parties.
Our statute does not define what
political party is, but Webster does,
and his definition is adopted by our
laws, unless the statute gives con-
trary meaning he says "a political
party is one wherein number of per-
sons united in opinion or design, in
opposition to others In the community,
pertaining to civil government and its
administration"
Perhaps all Democrats have not read
the law of 1923 governing Democratic
primaries it says, "all qualified voters
under the laws and constitution of
the state, who are bona fide members
of the Democratic party shall be
eligible to participate in any Demo-
cratic primary, provided such voter
complies with all laws and rules gov
erning party primary elections.
The general primary election law
provides a way by which members OF
other political parties. can have his
name placed upon the Democratic bal
lot to be voted FOR as a Democrat,
but each voter who votes for him
must under the statute be bona fide
Democrat.
Does the Democratic party of Tex
as believe in singing out American
citizens because of their foreign birth
or religion and legislating against their
interest as American citizens? Do tnry
believe in enforcing the laws Of the
land outside of the courts? Does the
Democratic party believe in a system
of taxation that throws the burdens
of government upon one class Of peo-
pie alone?
There are ten men seeking to have
their names placed upon the Demo-

be deceived by q clever ventriloquist"
said the wise men Of France, when
Edison's monograph was first ex-
hibited at the Academy Of Science in
Paris. Westinghouse laid the plans
of his air-brake before q famous ex.
pert and after waiting three
weeks for an opinion was told that
his invention was impracticable and
worthless. He paid a hundred dollars
for the opinion.
Why is human nature prone to ridi-
cule and discourage all attempts at i'm
provement and discredit all worthy
endeavors? Why do they condemn
thing merely because they do not I'M
derstand it? Why do they accept false
hood in preference to truth? A pleas
ant falsehood will be believed while
an unpleasant truth is nearly always
rejected.
An erroneous idea seems to slide
along on CREASED skids and a false
hood catapults like a bat out Of hell,
meeting with ready acceptance and is
promptly passed along, while truth
meets with all kinds Of obstacles and
opposition.
1t is a common experience to see
thoughtless people reject truth and
accept a falsehood in preferences
pecially II the falsehood is in conform
ity with their preconceived opinions
or pleases their fancy. Inherited opin-
ions in the form Of religion or politics
are generally accepted without ques-
ton. 1t is too much trouble to read,

PSYCHOANALYSIS OF HUMAN
NATURE.
To The Editor.

10 The Editor.
New ideas always meet with opposi-
ton from the majority Of the ignor-
ant masses. These majorities have
nearly always been wrong. The bold
man who advances u new thought o.
asserts a new truth is generally dis
credited and often ridiculed by his
fellow man.
Since the beginning Of recorded his
tory all original ideas had to fight
their way through the combined OPP
position of Ignorance, prejudice, mar
row bigotry and religious intolerance.
When Calico said that the earth
was round he was imprisoned. perse-
cuted and finally forced to recant and
disavow his former statement. The
whole world believed he was wrong,
although We now know that he alone
was right and the vast majority, ms
usual, wrong. They reasoned that if
the earth is round and revolving we
would fall off when on the "under
side"
They did know hat cup" and
down" are merely relative terms and
local to the earth alone; down, mean
ing towards the center of the earth
and up. meaning away from the earth
in all directions.
"He staggers the foundation of our
religion" said the fanatic. Well, so
much the worse for their religion, il
it was founded on such shaky foun-
dalton.
We can not alter natures laws In
conformity with anyone's superstition
or belief. The Universities and dis
arrangements encountered by Column
bus are well known TO every school
boy. He was even brought back in
chains and died in prison. Socrates

ship expect to vote in the Democratic
primary regardless of the law?
There seems to be but one candidate
for governor on the Democratic ticket,
who is willing to trust alone to the
true tenets of democracy for which
our forefathers fought and which are
still the foundation Of the party. Is
he treading the political wine press
alone or will we as the remnant 90
to his aid?
In the wilderness of political party
voters, who expect to storm the citadel
of the Democratic primary in July is
there no balm left for true democracy!

down one who occupied seat in this
body for two successive sessions; and
WHEREAS, in the person of Sam
uel M. Crockett, the State has lost a
servant always devoted and loyal to
it's interest; the county, representa-
tive of strong mentality and convic-
tons, unimpeachable probity, unques-
toned courage, and unwavering fideli-
ty to his constituency; the town
where he resided, a public spirited
citizen, an influential man, and gen
ial, kindly spirit to all with whom he
came in contact; be it therefore
RESOLVED, that we, the General
Assembly of Maryland, in convention
assembled in the year of our Lord,
nineteen hundred and twenty four, do
