Ht SIN KSK LIKE ELECTIONS
WP have received from John J. Mc
Mahan an appeal for the democratic
party to adopt for the protection of
the primados the lawn of th" state
with reference to general elections.
Mr. McMahan ls an Idealist, although
it must he said that his ideals are
high and bis purpose lofty and his
life in keeping with those ideals. But
he ls, we fear, too far in advanoe of
the times. It was he who In the con
stitutional convention as far back as
1895 wished to have an ordinance
along the line of what, is now com
monly known as "eugenics"-to pro
vent thc marriage of a good, pure
woman to any man menially and
physically disqualified for the sacred
home* relation. It cannot be said
that he was wrong, but that the, world
waa not ready to accept such a theory.
And so it ls, wc fear, today. We ad
mit that we see no bug-a-boo in the
proposition. Nearly every poor man in
the country Ia registered. If not the
registration machinery' lt In tho
hands of good men who can and will
Issue certificates to any white man
who has lived within the state long
enough to qualify. As a matter of
fact the .men who would be "disfran
chised," as some haye seen flt to put
lt, are the aocalied . "rich." 1 who
through business cares or for other
reason have failed to got. registered
of. haye misplaced . their certificates^
We see po .hann In the registration
plan, but we do not think it. necessary
or expedient at this time. It will
have to como some day,, and we have !
thought this for a Jong time.
Something must be done to make j
the primary more business like. That
ls the only short coming today. The
poll lists ere locked up in the boxes
with the club rolls and brought to
the court house and there they re
main for months, and wh/?> the time
r>nmaa ovorf uuuuid VAar fnp ' nnntl.m'
primary those old club lists are hard
to find.
We believe that what should
don? bi merely to conduct the el
ttons In a business like mann
There is enough iaw on inc statute
books to pro vent- or to pun lah f mud
If. that law was ever appealed to. The
governor'of the state offered a large
reward >t*ro years ago foy. evidence
to f;oavJfct and we have never heard
ot anyon* making cloie.'for that re
ward.
. Wo hello ve that ali pf tho people
would accept regulations which would
put thejpnmariea opie business basis,
'?Haw tJfefelub secretaries and execu
tive committeemen to enroll on tho
club lltjMf every white mau living
within. :-^ geographical Mhos bf the
respectMg^precincts, and none out

the sworn statement of the applicant
for membership in the club that he
ls lawfully entitled to vote there. If
ho makes false statement, be can bc
prosecuted fer perjury and tor viola
tion of the election laws, and the fore
knowledge of a few stiff flues will
prevent anything of that kind. Let
the club rolls be sworn to by the
club secretary and approved by the
county executive committee, and let
the. club executive comltteo be pr?s
ent?t the polls to assist the managers
in neuiing any knuUy questions.
The managers of ibo election ?are
not appointed arbitrarily by . Use couft
tv MM;H?; corbin ii icc bit by tbs
executive coroittoemen of the respec
tive club*, and this ls local self gov
! ernment.
? But we thing lt absolutely wrong
for any one to vote in a club other
than In the ono nearest to his place
pf residence. For Instance, suppose
1 In one county there sLonld be a- close
' elction and in another there should
bo nmfi: County linea being so nearly
Invisible, what would prevent a man
in one county Joining a club lust
' across the lino and voting in the
' close election.
1 In brief, our opinion ts that the less
. that la done to the election mles, the
* bettor it -Will he. Instead ot making
1 the mica complicated and making thc
1 right to vote difficult, let the people
' have plain, clear, explicit rules to go
'? by. Let men vote in the boxes where
they are known. Let. no auspicious
> strangers come tu. Thero Is, now

ls Just our opinion. The frauds have
not been established. We all feel bap
k ny over the increaao in population la
i tho ?tate, but whenever atty one falls
t attention to the increase In the -rot

of "fraud'."
Mr. McMahan may be right tn his
) intentions, but we fear that he I*
li preunrios io make too long a reach,
apte somothtr.
will accept it and will return a pri
mary that is fair and clean. We feel
that the peuple may be trusted.
We hope that the state convention
will act conservatively. If Mr. McMs
han's plan is adopted, we believe lt
will not cost so many votes in the
state, but . cannot something simpler
be dope?

SAVAGERY IX COLORADO
That President Wilson was justified
by events, if not in principle, in send
ing Federal troops to Colorado, and *
nour too soon in acting, <s evident
from tho shocking details of recent
atrocities. The red men of the west 30
and 35 years ago, In their encounters
with frontiersmen and United States
Boldlers, were scarcely more savage,
save as to scalping, than have been
these white men of Colorado.
To the shame of slaughtered women
and children has been added the un
speakable crime of the killing of Maj.
P. P. Ivester, a physician bearing tho
Red Cross lnsignls, while engaged In
open view in endeavoring to save the
life of a wounded guardsman. This
incident, moreover, and others in
which 13 lives fcere lost occurred more
than a. day after the president -of
the United States had issued his prpc
tarnation. iu fy'tux inib .1
Thus it appears to be even more im
perative, than appeared earlier In the
strife that tho . Federal authorities
shall proceed with rigorous measures ?
toward, the restoration ot, orderly
conditions. This accomplished, it is
neither the duty nor intention of the
government permanently to police
Colorado. This ia a duty, of the state
which may npt be evaded if lt would
mak<* s .. pretense ot maintaining a
republican form of government; and
lt must do so at whatever cost in
money or defeat of trouble-breeding
factions among the population.
lli-?oilu Pnlfti-niln has il nun Irrnnar
able Injury to its industries, its in
stitutions, its material welfare and its
future. Imperial in natural re
sources and wonders, one of. the most
delightful states in the Union to visit
in and travo! over, what .between; its
radical politics and still nnorb radical .
antagonisms due to disputes ot captlal
and labor' tor years bas frittered away
golden opportunities and, with persis,- ?
tent disregard for consequences, has
.permitted its. own people to BOW the
need1 of Boclal destruction. And. ns
Iffll Colorado oo with South Carolina
or any other state where Jthe people
are sot taught that the law ls supreme,
