Malian an appeal for th? democratic party to adopt Tor the protection of tho primarles the law? of tho state with reference to general elections.] Mr. McMahan ls an Idealist, although lt must he said that his id?ala are) higfa and lila purpose lofty and his life in keeping with those ideals. Hut he is. we fear, too far In advance of the times, lt was he who in the con stitutional convention as far back asl is',r, wished to have an' ordinance! along the line of what is now com monly kuown as "eugoi)lcs"Xo pre vent thc marriage ?'of a good, pure woman to any man mentally and physically disqualified for the sacred hom? relation. It cannot ho said that he was wrong, hut that the world was not ready to accept such ? theory. And so it is, we fear, today. Wc ad mit that we seo no hug-a-hoo in the proposition. Nearly every poor man in the country in registered, If not the registration machinery is in the hands of good men who can and will issue ceritlflcates to any white man who has lived within tho state long enough lo qualify. As a matter of fact tho men who*would ho "disfran chised/' as some have seen flt to put lt, are the soculled "rich," who through business cares or for other reason have failed to get registered or havo misplaced their certificates. We seo no harm in the registration plan, hut we do not think, it necessary or expedient? otk thia ti&ie. ?'"will hayos.to C0P<* some d^y, Jami w$ have thought t*?sJror:'a uEratme.jtt Something mult lie dono ti make the primary mor? business like?" That is the only short, coming today. The poll lists are locked up in the'boxes with the club rolls and brought to the court house and there they re main for months, and when the time comes every second year for another primary those old club lists aro hard to find. We believe that what should be dono is merely to conduct the elec tions . in a business like manner. There ls enough law on the statute books to prevent or to punish fraud if that law was ever appealed to. The governor of the state offered a large reward two years ,sgo for evidence to convict and wc- have never heard of anyone making claim for that re ward. ./ We believe that all ot the people would, accept regulations which would put the primaries on a business .basis. T??v? the club secretaries and execu tive committeemen to enroll on the club lists every white man ' living within the geographical rhTtrs or trre jrssnecihrs^nsnckaaM^ >asu?tt?otsT?ottV> side. Orvo-ample notice so tust" zny resident may' see tnat his name is properly enrolled. Let none be over looked. Then close the lists, say 15 days before the first primary and let no name be enrolled, except upon the sworu statement of the applicant for membership In the club that he is lawfully entitled to vote there. If he makes false statement, he can be prorccuted for perjury and for viola tion of the election laws, and the fore knowledge of a few stiff fines will prevent anything ot that kind. Let the club rolls be sworn to by thc club secrctsry and approved by the county executive committee, and let the club executive comittce be pres ent at the polls to assist the managers In settling nny knotty questions. The managers of tho election are not appointed arbitrarily by the coun ty executive committee,,but by the executive comltteemen of the respec tive clubs, and this ls local self gov ernment. But we think lt absolutely wrong for any one to vote In a club other than In the one nearest to his place of residence. For instance, suppose in ono county there should be a CIOBO elctlon and In another there should be none. County lines being so nearly Invisible, what would prevent a man In one county joining a club just across the line and voting In the close election. In brief, our opinion is that the less that ls done to the election rules, tho better lt will bc. Instead of making the rules complicated and making the right to vote difficult, let the people have plain, clear, explicit rules to go by. Let men vote in the boxes where tboy are known. Let no suspicious strangers come In. There is now enough law as to the use of liquor and as to other forms of bribery. As s matter of fact is it not to be deplored that there ls so much talk of fraud? Under the law of sugges tion, we believe that auch talk gives persons vicious ideas, who never oth erwise would have thought lt possible to commit frauds in elections. That Is just our opinion. The frauds have not been established. Wo all feel hap py ove.- the Increase in population in the state, but whenever any one calls attention to the Increase in the vot ing strength, there ls at once a cry 'Nir^cabaan 'may 'k-ibf^lh birt Intentions, but we tear that he ls preparing to make too long a reach. Olva, the peopLa somsthlug. they. can . that will be fair tb all, and they ?Jil accept li and" will return a pri mary timi 1H fair and clcail. ?Ve feel that lb?' people may bo trusted. \V<' hope tiiut ibo state convention will art conservatively.

We appreciate the'fact'that thia,board ap at present const?t uted has eauaed a ? great i rund wonderful transformation in the school systeni of Anderson. . Tho writer reallied the effort 'and worri ot;; members of the board to get new cchool buildings nore to take care of the over-crowding of thc buildings- In use one year ago. The board undertook a thankless work in which they might have been subjected to criticism from the same class ot people who now are throwing their hats In the air and "whooping 'em up" for the board. For our part, we always desired to sec the things that have been accom plished, and this boavd In its wisdom aud constructive policy ls due the everlasting thanks of tho community. In offering this compliment to the board, ani| wc admit that lt is all too lacktng v in expression in ' comparison with what bas Deon done, we would detract nothing from the pluck, initi ative an/i statesmanship ot the super intendent ?pf the public schools, E.

SA VA <? KU Y IN COLOR WM) That President Wilson was 'ustificd by event?, if not In principle, in sond lng Federal troops to Colorado, and nore too noon in acting, is evident f/om Hie shocking details of recent atrocities. Thc red men of the west 30 and :i? years ago. ba their encounters j with frontiersmen and United States soldiers, were scarcely more savage, save a.; to scalping, than have been these white men of Colorado. To tito shame of slaughtered women and children has been added thc un speakable crime of tito killing of Maj. P. P. Lester, a physician hearing the Red Cross insignia, while engaged in open viow in endeavoring to save the life of a wounded guardsman. This Incident, moreover, and others in which \'i lives were lost occurred more than a d-?y after the president of | thc United States had issued his proc lamation. Th.is lt appears to be even more Im perative than appear.pd earlier In thc strife that the Federal authorities shall proceed with rigorous measures toward thc restoration Of orderly conditions. This accomplished, it is neither the duty nor intention of,, the government permanently to police Colorado. This ls a duty of t' c state1 -.,.,-. -~ Sfjf m:-.! . i>>. - -?reter.se of maintaining al republidan form of government; and | lt must do so at whatever cost in money or defeat of trouble-breeding | factions among the population.

Imperial In natural re sources and wonders, one of the most delightful states in the Union to visit in and travel over, what between its radical politics.and still more radical antagonisms duo to disputes of captial and labor for years has frittered away | golden opportunities and, with persis tent disregard for consequences, has permitted'its own peop'e lo1 sow the seed of social destruction.
