FRIDAY, JUNE $, 1886
PRIMARIES ARE PARTY


With the approach iof the party
primaries on June 9th it is we'll to
consider their purposes and proper
protection. Many people apparently
think of a primary as simply anoth-
er election in which everybody has
a right To participate. Such is no,
the case. A Democrat has no
more right to take part in a Re-
publican primary or a Republican
to participate in a Democrat Prl-
mary than either to attend the par
ty conventions of the other. 1t
you are a Republican and honestly
intend to change your party aftll-
iation (or vice versa) then it is
your right and privilege to take
part in the selection of the party
nominees.
Attorney General Seawell has is
sued a timely ruling that Republl-
cans will not be allowed to parti-
cipate in Democratic primaries, nor
Democrats in Republican primary
contests.
We agree with the statement OF
The Statesville Daily that such a
ruling shouldn't be needed because
1.-THE principle of it is as plain as
the nose on ones face. C~riss-cross-
ing would defeat the benefits and
purposes of our two party systems
When a voter subscribes to the ten
cts of one party and selects that
party as his own, in good faith,
naturally he wants and has a right
to participate in the selection OF its
candidates, but beyond that he
ought not expect to 60"
Attorney General Seawell says:
"There are no requirements with
which a Republican can comply
which would permit him to vote in
the Democratic primary, nor are
there any requirements with which
a Democrat can comply which
would permit him to vote in a Re
publican primary"
Participating in the primary Of
either party carries with it the NOR
al obligation to abide by the result
and support the nominees in the
general election whether one likes
them or not. If the voter cannot
do that, then he should stay out.

Bonus Money Cannot
Be Legally Attached

The congress of the United
States not only has passed an act
to pay the adjusted service certifi-
Gates to the world wal veterans but
also included legislation to guaren-
tee the protection of the money
for the sole benefit of the aoldiers.
The description and the law is
printed below and tells in detail
just how the money will be used,
exclusive of any attachments what
ever, by the veterans.
The adjusted service bond or
the proceeds of the same is not sub
ject to attachment, levy or seizure
under any legal or equitable pro-
cess whatever, or to national OR
state taxation (see A U. S. Stat.
2S7. SO U. S. C. 61S,) and is not
assignable OF negotiable. 1t is col
lateral security for nothing, and is
not subject to the claims Of credi-
tors, or alimony, etc. AS long a,
it is not so mixed with other mon
ey or property as to lose its identi-
ty, it has this protection. If it re-
mains in specie or is converted into
other property capable of being
identified as proceeds of the adjust
ed service bonds insuring to the
benefit Iof the veteran, this cloak
of protection remains. Generally
the same protection extends to the
beneficiaries of deceased veterans
also.)
Veterans or their beneficiaries
should advise with the officers OF
their organizations about the de-
# this protection.

While Americans are establish

are running their big dirigibles
across the Atlantic, word comes
that England is building huge air
planes for transatlantic flights.
These new Empire type planes of

and faster han the China Clipper
type of Pan-American Always.

casion not long ago to send a let

learned from the New York Post
office that the quickest route was
to send it by a steamship to Am
sterdam, whence one of the dutch
planes flying to Java would take
it quicker than if l sent it by way
of London and the English airmail
routes.
Flying is still in its very early
infancy. 1t is getting safer and
easier all the time.
WINDMILL ..... slow
The safest flying machine so far
developed is the autogiro, which
loops like a horizontal windmill. 1t
can rise out of an ordinary back
yard and needs no more space than
a baseball diamond Ito land in. 1t
can only fly about 80 miles an hour
however, which is pretty slow for
air travel these days.
The ewes improvement, now
being tried cut, in aircraft, is a
combination of biplane and auuogi-
nro. The upper plans can be shift
ed from its flying position into a
windmill" of the autogiro type,
for rising and landing nor in case of
emergency, while as a biplane a
speed of upwards of 125 miles an
hour is expected.
SAFETY ....... Prizes
The latest organized effort to
make motoring safer is the establish
ment by the Commercial Invest
ment Trust of a fund of $250.00ul
to be used for educational efforts
for better driving and safer roads.

Coal Purchasers Warned.

Washington home owners who pur-
chase coal from itinerant, door-to-
door vendors are warned by the Bet
ter Business Bureau to guard them
selves against the possibility of short
weight. The bureau has received re-
ports that coal is being purchased in
truckload lots at the mines by timer
ant vendors who are not regularly en-
ployed in the coal business and who
have no regular organization for
handling coal business and is being
"hawked" by door -to-door canvass
methods.
The bureau reminded purchasers
that under District laws the coal DEAL
ers must have sales ticket showing
the weight of the coal delivered. The
District laws prescribe the long ton Of
2,240 pounds as the standard for sale
of coal in Washington.
If the dealer does not have sales
ticket or if the purchaser has other
grounds for suspicion, the bureau ad-
vised, he should call the District
Bureau of Weights and Measures for
his own protection and the protection
Of others. 1t was recommended that
purchases be made from regular and
known coal dealers. 1t was pointed
out that special license tag is issued
by the District to regular dealers
which serves as a means of identif1-
cation and that regular dealers usually
have their firm name on delivery
trucks.
