WASHINGTON, July President Roosevelt today reaffirmed hope that America can stay out of the war, but drew the distinction, how ever. between hope and belief.

 He preferred not to comment on Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox's declaration in Boston last night that the Navy should be used inn mediately to clear the Atlantic o1 the German menace so war supplies could be delivered to Britain.

d. Primaries In The
South Nominate or Elect?

Along about the turn of the century, shrewd
political minds of the South for the first time de-
vised a method to nullfy the 18th Amendment to
the Constitution without running afoul of the Su-
preme Court of the United States The conven-
ton system of nomination was giving way state by
state to the primary system. The argument that
all the people would have voice in selecting candi-
dates for public office was most persuasive
Southern legislatures fell into line one by one
They adopted the primary system of nominating
candidates for elective Offices they passed detailed
laws controlling the manner of holding Elections"
as opposed to primaries; they set out statutory
qualifications for voters in the elections all within
the frame of the Constitution. They then passed
what might be called an enabling act for the oper-
alton of primaries by comforting upon political par
ties the legal power to set additional qualifica-
lions for persons participating in primary 'nomi-
nations" Thus the notification of the 18th A
mendment to the Constitution of the United States
For over a generation this system has been eff
fective in maintaining the white mans party" in
the South Three times in this period the Supreme
Court has been appealed to and three times has
the Court sustained the claim that primaries are
nominations and not subject to Federal control or
regulation The Democratic Party, protected by
these DECISIONS has felt as secure in its political
domination of the South as France felt protected
by the Maginot Line
Now the Maginot Line of Southern Democracy
appears to be about to collapse. The Supreme

folk, as they always have things well
in hand.
A very very good Board was held

1t was the wish of the family to
have had the Parmiter funeral SER
vice at the home. We feel we should
tell those of you who are away that
the house looks fine-and folks who
had a part in fixing it up have much
to be proud of, and everyone should
be glad that it is a church, funeral
chapel, or whatever you wish to
call it, rather than a sheep house,
or something else.

The death of George w. Carnes
of GAINESVILLE takes another of the
old time coal diggers of Bristol
township. His father, a Civil war
soldier, was killed in battle, leaving
the mother with a family Of small
children. He, like his brother, J..
p, had to go to work when only a
young boy. Starting in the coal
bank they kept at it as long as they
were able. We remember him
when he lived at Otho as very re-
ligious man A friend who is older
than your scribe tells us that he was
very honest, having the reputation
of giving his customers every lump
Of coal that was coming to them.
We are sorry to hear of the death
Of our friend, Mrs. Mary Newton.
Our acquaintance dates back to
January, 1891, when we first
viewed the land of Todds. Her
family, the Woodwards, and our
uncle and aunt, Isaac and Elizabeth
Shook, were neighbors and good
friends, and our friendship has con-
tinued through all these years.
