Trie other faction favors the rule of the people in the interest of the masses as a whole, they also favor a free and an untranineIll' primary election, in which every white man shall have a right to vote as he pleases. regardess of how poor, how rich, how ignorant, or how wise he may be. His being a white man should be nis passport to the ballot., to many of us this is the most sacred right of aE. there are many who favor the priuciples of government as advo cated by one of the factions, at the head of which is ex-ehief Justice Jones, but these have not been endorsed by the masses. There are others who believe the people should have their rights maintained without discrimination either at the ballot box, the tax collectors office or the juries, this faction has as its leader the pres ent Governor, Cole L. Blease. It is to be presumed a man who favors Mr. Jones for governor favors the principles of the faction wbich has entrusted him with its standard, or in other words, he represents the element and the methods of those who were in the majority at the last State convention. Those who favor Mr. Blease favor the principles as advocated by the leaders who wrest ed this government from Bourbon and corporate control in the early nineties. Any one who will just think for a moment will real ize that this is t-he true condition of affairs. No one should vote from person al motive either for Jones or Blease. but as a brave and a loyal supporter of the principles he favors he should vote fr the man or measures representing his views. How are we to vote intelli gently unless we know a candidate's views on these factional differences, and how are we to know uniess he tells us? Would any man who is a candidate for oflice, from governor to coroner wish to deceive the voters he is asking to elect him, or hesitate for one mo ment to let tbem know how be stands on the great questions now agitatine the public mind? When he can so easily state his position by saying franily whether or not he is for Jones or for Blease. It should be a pleasure to a man who is not a political coward, and who seeks the votes of the people to deal frankly, and not a hardship to declare how he stands on public mat ters, especially when the freedom of so many of our citizens appear to be in jeopardy; were I a candidate I would deem it a privilege to let everyv votet know my views. and if I did not have the moral couraie to come boldly out, I would not go about trying to mislead an over trusting public to vote for me. The clection to any ollice, be it evet so smallb carries power and influence with it in a political way. and as a voter I am entitled t-> know how every candidate stands on public ouestions. When the answer camn be so easily made Jones or B3!ease I hope the candidatei will not regard it a hardship to speake out. VOT'ER. These are the Candidates.

A widely known motor racer was asked by a friend if he would be so kind as to allow three young women to accompany him.wiile he was trying out a new racing car. "Why. I can't be bothered with pas sengers at a time like that, and espe cially with women. They always talk to me, and I can't have my mind dis tracted. It might prove dangerous, you know." "But these girls won't bother you. 1'11 tell them not to. One of them is my sister. They are crazy to go; want to say they have ridden with you. You know how girls are." "lWell, If you will tell them they mustn't speak to me while I am driv ing they may go. They mustn't move around or do anything to distract my attention. You impress this upon them. If they .are willing to do this they can go." The promise was made. and they started. At one place the driver ran over a water guard and there was a tremendous bump. le did not try to look around. as he was going at a rapid rate of speed, but presently he felt a timid touch on his shoulder. "What is ity' he growled. A weak little voice answered him: "Really. I hate awfully to bother you. I know I shouldn't and promised not to. But I feel I must tell you Helen isn't with us now." -Harper's Maga zine. A TOMB IN TOKYO. Luck In Chips From the Headstone Over a Famoos Thief. Behind the temple sacred to the nameless dead and close to the wres tling amphitheater in Tokyo there is to be found the grave of the celebrated robber Nezumi Kozo, who stole from the daimios long ago in the old Yeddo days that he might relieve the suffer ings of the poor. There is a superstition connected with this grave which has made it a much frequented spot. If a portion of the headstone is carried away it acts as a luc'ky talisman, particularly to those who speculate or are otherwise engaged in games of chance. It is usu al for a person breaking a piece from the stone to make a vow that in case he is success'ful he will buy a new headstone to replace the one he has mutilated. 3any prayers must have been answered, for the stones are piled high on either side of the grave, and 6 an enterprising individual near by has the stones already for sale and only _ waiting the name of the donor to be engraved and then set up. A shelter has been placed over the spot, and from the roof hang gray lan terns and pilgrims' .banners. A large money box catches all the stray sen ' which go for the upkeeping of the grave. Gamblers and geisha are of- 2 ten visitors. Students before their ex aminations feel more assured of suc- - cess if they have a chip of Nezumi .

W1ienever on one of his rare holidays Captain Goldby went to the city he took some young relative with him as : a special treat. On one such occasion - he told his seventeen-year-old grand son, whom he had with him, that they - wvould "dine at a real rest'rant and get : a taste of fancy cooking." - When they were at last seated in the great dining room the grandson waited '2 Impatiently while the captain read the : bill of fare completely through with out omitting a single article, whether domestic or foreign in title. At last -2 he sighed and handed the card across the table to the boy. '"You choose what you like, sonny," he said, with a sigh. "As for me, I 2 reckon as I've already eat more herrin' than any other man livin' I might as - well stow away a little more. It's al'ays agreed with me so far."--Youth's Companion. Talleyrand's Brevity. A single word was often sufiicient for Talleyrand to make his keenest re tort, says the Kansas City Star. When a hypochondriac, who had notoriously led a profligate life, complained to the diplomatist that he was enduring the tortures of hell Talleyrand simply an swered, "Already?' To a woman who had lost her hus band Taileyrand once addressed a let ter of condolence in two words: "Oh, madame'" In less than a year the woman had married again, and then his letter of congratulation was: "Ah, madame!'' Conquered a Crocodile. An old traveler tells a tale of a young African girl with great bravery and presence of mind. While fetching wa ter from a river she was seized by the jaws of a crocodile and pulled in. As quick as a flash she remembered the weak point of a crocodile and forced her fingers into the brute's eyes until it let go. She lost her left hand, but was able to swim ashore and save her life Matchmaking. "Now they claim that the human body contains sulphur." "In what amount?' "Oh. in varying quantities." "Well, that may account for some girls making bctter matches than oth ers."-Pittsbu rgh Post. A ShIlNING EXALMPLE OF PURITY '/ e'~r's. Th:: -s th.e .:gon~ customler" se pUUnshe.
