The primary election takes place next Tuesday, and every white man who has his name on the club books should turn out and vote, m doing so, he should divest himself of petty differ ences, and select from the num * er'of candidates the best qual ified for the position the candi date s6eks. This thing of lining up voters to gratify a prejudice, is the work of a selfish schemer, when it is investigated It will be ound that he i's paying~ on' the prejudices of those he seeks to "line up." and close watching ill disclose the same man. eith er in person or through some one else, is working the same scheme on the other side. This hould not be, it is discrediting a an's intelligenee to urge him o draw factional-lines in a con test forrepresentatives or coun Stoffices. The United States Senatorial sis not, and should 'not fect our local affairs, for it _natters-not who is sent to the Snate that man has no connec k icn with our county affairs; in' the seleqtioi of a Governor, and who are to represent us -in Gneral Assembly we cer -can very-well lay aside and endeavor to ap therule oftness. - All of us adt.hWe the same choice for ited Statesnator. but this not affet us in the solee Governor, nor' should M us the selectio -of or a Judge of bate Auditor, or any other Officer.

The best way is to pay no a~tention to siander-mongers It is our candid opinion, that this very primary can have a beneficial effect upon future ele' * tons; if the people will eiercise a calm discretion and not be guided by factional prejudice. everything will come out in good shape, but if we listen and act upon the counsel of extremists, there is no telling when the of strife will come. CIVILIZATION EITENDED. New complications have set in by Japan sending a ultimatum to Germany to withdraw the German warships from the Ori ent, and to evacuate Kiau-Chan, and given until Sunday to com ply with the demands of Japan. If Germany does not comply it, -mieans that another strong naval power has been added to those already against Germany, and it only makes it more futile for Germany to ever win in the life struggle Emporer William brought .on himself needlessly. When the war started Japan intimated its sympathy with *England, but it did not intend to become involved unless the triple alliance undertook to invade her territory; now since matters have reached a more serious state, it looks to us as if Japan in de manin the withdrawal of Ger many's- lleet from Japan's field of activity in China means to be come an active ally to the pow ers against Germany, and will join the British fleet in the de struction or capture of all Ger man craft in the @hinese or Japanese waters, and they will also assist their allies ir. the Pacific. Judging from the despatches that have leaked through the censored cablegrams, if only a part of them are true, this war will put the finishing touches to the German Empire, and that country will be divided up into little kingdoms, dukedoms, and principalities, similar to the pre sent condition of the little king doms which made up the great empire of Germany prior to the Franco Prussian war. It far ther appears to us that the mon archs of Europe are trembling, they are in the greatest danger of disruption. and Russia is gov erned by an autocratic Czar, the country will be divided into States, like the United States, and it will be formed into a Re publie with a constitution, or it may remain a limited monarchy, similar to England. the same will happen to Germany; France is already a Republic. fhe war will not only disarrange the gov ernments but it will maske a great change in the map of Eu rope, and although at a great cost of blood and treasure, the final outcome of it will be, the unfettering the pe'ople from the chains of ignorance, and the pro mulgation of civilization. The Times has endeavored to keep the'editorial columns from extreme - partisanship during this entire campaign, The edi tor has his personal preferances, ,the same as any other citizen, and in his choice of candidates will 'ote for the men. of his choice jus as he advises ever voter to do. He thinks it is wrong to inflame th'e passions of :igt ~., and his course has been to try and, adviss against extremes. It is his purpose to do his part towards bringing har mony to our people as their is nothing to be gained by this con stant friction, and if the masses wil reflect they will see that a conservative course does more good than irritating agitation. Let every man go: to the polls next.Tuesday to do his part as a good citizen, and if he will, the result, mattersnot how it goes, will leave no heart-burnings. and the spirit of rivalry will not end in bad feeling. President\-Wilson .has put ma chiery to work to investigate the cause of the advance in food prices, and it he has the power he will bring the speculators to taw in the courts of the United States. It is our opinion, the action of the President is not on ly timely, but it is solely for the protection of the masses against that greedy horde of speculators who stand ready to take advant age of any emiergency to fill their c'ofers. The longer Pres ident Wilson is in the executive chair the more is he convinding the American people of his wise statesmanship, and the more is he securing the hold Democrat ic party has upon the people. There is-of course, even among Democrats, an element that fear his policies will not be en dorsed at the next election, but that fear is fast dwindling away, and we believe-he will convince the country that his administra tion is not only safe, and sound, but it has done more along pro gressive lines than any adminis tration in a gentury. The war news continues to be confusing, and it is difficult to get from the dispatches that are given to she press anything like deinate information, but, we still believe the powers not en gaged in the turmoil will yet be able to get the ear of the war ing monarchies to consider me diation with a view of settling the differences How's This f We offer One Hundred Doliars Reward for my case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by ali's Catarrh-Cure.
