DEMOCRATS SWING G. 0. P. ILLINOIS
 PRIMARY.

It is now conceded that the defeat of Mayor Big Bill" Thompson, Senator Smith and Gov. Small in Illinois was largely the result of Demo- cratic voting in the Republican primary. The Republican primary vote was more than 200,- 900 greater than the vote for President Coolidge at the last general election. This is explained by the fact that several hundred thousand Demo- crats voted in the Republican primary against the Thompson Crowe-Smal- Smith machine.
 George E. Brennan. the. Illinois Democratic leader, attempted to persuade Democrats to re- frain from voting in the Republican primary. He thought it would have a demoralzing effect on the Democratic Party for one thing and, further, that if the Democrats would let the machine out fit control the Republican primary 1t would be 'pe" for their party next November, However, the silk stocking" Democrats were inter ested in the good of Chicago than in party advantage in the election and as the law per- mits them to do, they went to the polls by the hundreds of thousands and voted for 'respeetab- ity and cleanliness"

The Speaking Mountain.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 America possesses the most imposing monument in the world--a monument commem- orating Southern distinction and heroism. Work on this mighty rock record-a record for all time -is going gratifyingly forward The heroic figure of General Robert E. Lee, mounted on his famous horse Traveller. will be unveiled at Stone Noun tain, Ga, today, marking the inaugural compile ton of this famous memorial to the Confederacy.
 No pharaoh Caesar claim a monu- ment so majestic enduring. The towers and temples and triumphal arches, the pyramids and all the ancient commemorative works of man have crumbled are in the way of seeking the kindred dust of the earth, but Stone Noun tain, with it's effigies, will endure while the physical world endures.
 The South has good to be proud of this gigantic undertaking and the lasting results achieved. If not another blow of hammer or chse were to be struck Stone Mountain still would remain of the worlds supreme won ders.
 Carved in the massive granite side of the mountain the leaders of the Confectionery will head their immortal cavalcade. It will take twenty-five years to complete the great work. North and South will join in the succeeding dedlcations with appropriate ceremonials and coll orful military display

TUESDAYS PRIMARY AND WHAT TT
 SHOWS.

The returns from the Republican primary in the First Division show that William Paul still controls the organized Indian vote in many pre- cncts almost quite to man. The manner in which Indian precincts turned from Senator Hunt because they were told to do by their chief makes that plain. However, while Paul and his organized following have again dominated the Republican Party of their division, the situa- tion disclosed is by no means hopeless Returns show that a concentration of the voters who op- pose Paul domination on a single set of Leg islatve candidates would have defeated his can date for Senator and perhaps two of his can didates for Representative. It is not impossible that he has lost Representative as it is.
 The returns show further that the Paul or ganzation much successful in getting out its vote than were the regular Republicans. Such Indian precincts have reported came much polling full voting strength than the in Juneau and other places where the machine was in a minority It is fair to assume, therefore, that the Paul vote was nearer polled in full in Juneau and Ketchikan than was the vote of the regulars.
 The situation in November will be different to that which obtained at the primary election At that time there will be just two tickets in the field instead of three candidates for Senator and nine for Representatives. There should at that time be 500 or 500 votes cast in Juneau than were boiled Tuesday and similar situation at Ketchkan.
 The people of the First Division will have an opportunity next November to free themselves from the denomination of professonal politician with a thoroughly organized bloc of voters who obey his every command. The situation dis closed by the voting Tuesday proves that if all the legal electors go to the polls at the general election shall again have representative gov ernment in this part of the Territory.

Memory Cherished By All.
Seattle Times.)


 Today is the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, hundred and eighty y-fve years ago; and although the Democratic Party has made him it's patron saint, it has special or proprietary rights in the heritage of his wis dom.
 The American people, irrespective of political affiliations, in honoring the memory of the man who framed the Declaration of Inde- pendence; who negotiated with Napoleon the Louisiana Purchase giving great empire for pittance who founded the Patent Office, and who left to sound governmental phil osophy.
 The claims of the Democratic Party to Jef- ferson are valid to such an extent that usually leave to those of that political faith the duty of celebrating the anniversary of his birth. To- day most of the Democrats of this State as sembled in Spokane, and nobody is left at home to eulogize him to recall his great service to the young republic
 However, the occasion shall not pass unnoticed because of the preoccupation Of the Democrats. We take the opportunity to say that Jefferson was one of the most accomplished men the coun- try produced. His simple tastes his love lof the people, his strong courage his independ- ence of thought, and his sound political phos- lophy, things that make his memory dear to us all.

Plays and PadlOcks.
Manchester Guardianl

The being made of the Wales pad lock law which enacted in New York last year reminds us that our superveillance of the arts, though often vexatious, has it's advantages and it's simplicities. Our dramatic censor ship, for instance, is historical relic, like
 much of constitutional machinery, and its working is often open to crticsm but we imag- inc that all parties concerned would prefer the discipline of the Lord Chamberlain to that of Scotland Yard. New York has lived without any censorship, and it has also experimented in a voluntary system comparable to the self-imposed
 censorship of the film companies in this country. But the New York stage is afflicted with a
 drastic police control, and the French piece Maya" which was acted by producing society in London last autumn, has been the first victim of the District Attorneys intervention. Under the Wales Act anybody can inform against any play. When information has been laid the police
 visit the piece and it's morals. If their verdict goes against it they order the immediate
 removal of the play under threat of pen altes of which is the padlocking of the theatre for year. That delicate questions of
 taste and ethics should be submitted to such an arbter is obviously grotesque and there is little cause for surprise at the vigorous protests
 which are being made in New York against this
 new indignity to the art of the theatre.

of the University of North Carolina students. It showed 476 for Gov. Smith, 14S for Senator Reed and 56 for Senator Walsh. The State Col lege, which had been previously polled, showed even larger percentage for Gov. Smith. MT. Daniels has let is be known that he will support Gov Smith if he is nominated. and intimates that he believes he will be the choice of the Houston Convention.
 North Carolina has not yet selected her dele gates, and when she does they will probably be uninstructed, but that there will be supporters for Gov. Smith among the delegates is admit ted. It is thought most of them will be voting for the Governor if the convention runs into many ballots.

It is mat ter for laughter rather than serious discussion The nearest serious thing about the whole mat ter is the rdcule the officers of the D. A. R. are bringing upon their organization. Of that will right itself in the of time-neary everything does in the end-but the quicker these societies eschew politics and political prob lems the better it will be for them.

Is University students reported
Monday afternoon for winter
football practice. In the old
days preparation for the grid
iron battles began in the fall, a
week or two before the first in

hardly is one season ended when
training for the next begins.
The winter practice consists
principally of what are "condi-
tioning exercises" but these do
not make up the entire program.
There will be drill in kicking and
tackling and other fundamen-
tails of the game; formations
will be suggested and examined
and criticised; and there will be
much attention to the "higher
strategy" And there will be
some actual scrimmaging. Last
years closing number of the
program, a full Commute game
between two elevens picked from
the squad, may be repeated this
spring.
The majority of the candi7
dates who reported Monday
were members of the 1927 re-
serve and freshman squads, but
some varsity veterans were on
hand and others who have been
engaged in wrestling and box
ing will report a little later. A
mong those who are expected to
come into action in the next few
days are Captain Schwartz, Far

Preparations are being made
to plant Lombardy poplars along
the north side of the main street
in the block between the post
office and Columbia street. This
planting is done in accordance
with the recent decision of the
board of aldermen to cultivate
shade trees in the business sec
tion.
There was a lively discussion
in the village, a few weeks ago,
over the question of whether
there should be trees along this
stretch. A public hearing was
held before the board of alder
men, and w. G.. Coker and many
members of the Community
Club urged the board not only to
preserve existing trees but to
plant more. Finally the board
instructed Town Manager Knox
to proceed with the planting
with the advice of Mr.. Coker,
The trees are being spaced SO
as not to interfere with the
lamps on the edge of the side
walk, and they will be protect
ed from damage by some sort
of grill work.
