THE PRIMARY There is a great deal of the con? vincing and convicting force of com? mon sense in the following comment of M. H. Do Young, a leading citizen of California, and the proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, touch? ing the prevailing craze that our government is not a republic but a mob: Thc direct primary is the biggest farce in politics. 1 all along believed this to be so, but 1 was convinced of it in the last city election. A capa? ble and honest man does not want to enter the field for poMtkal office when it will cost him many times, more to be elected than the thing is worth.

It isn't worth the effort or the honor. The people clamored for a direct primary law. Now they have it, but they will find out that it is impractical, and that, instead of helping them, as they thought it would, it will do them more harm than good. Under the direct primary, a man running for office has to make two campaigns. He has all the worry and expense of getting the nomina? tion, and then has to go up against a political opponent in the election.

No man fit to hold an office will en? ter such a Post The primary in Virginia is liable the same same ob? jections which are so well stated in the above article. The fact is that the primary is prohibitive, so far as a poor man is concerned. No mat? ter how patriotic, how capable, hon? est and able he may lie, he is prohib? ited from entering the contest fur office in the primary, for it is impos? sible for him to put up the nec funds. it has been conducted in some primary is both a fraud and a farce. Republicans have been allowed to vote in such numbers that they practically nominate the candidate in a Democratic primary.

There are other objection? to the primary. It creates a ating office trust. Those who are in stay in, largely because they have the funds to keep themselves in. So one who has not the funds, dare not enter the contest in the pri to oppose them. And so far as we have been able to see, no more capable, no better officers have been nomi? nated in the primary than in the old system of nomination.

The mass of the people are opposed to it. and at the first opportunity will wipe it out. AEROPLANE The fly from Albany to New York City by Curtis was marvelous and has placed him as a record-breaker, but some one will beat him in the future. The navigation of or in the air, whichever it may be called, is an infant enterprise now. Its de? velopment cannot be foretold.

No wonder Maxim, the inventor of death-dealing devices, says that all war will in time be fought from or in the air. Soldiers, he says, will go up in battalions and fight high up in the air or will throw down bomba and shells from the air. Since the telephone, the wireless tele? graph, nothing seems either impossible or improbable. We may expect anything. The capacity for man to invent cannot be measured, and, therefore, the future of the dirigible balloon and the aeroplane cannot be prophesied about.

We can just watch and wait and marvel not at the result of man's ingenuity. CONGRESS The papers say Congress is in a deadlock, and there is no telling when it will adjourn or what it will do before it adjourns. The regular Republicans, the Insurgents, the regular Democrats and some few renegade Democrats are all at sea and at odds as well. Each is pulling against the other and each is wait? ing to see what the other fellows will do. There are several so-called administration measures which have received the indorsement of President Taft, which are on the calendar and they aeem hopelessly hungup.

If this Congress, domi? nated by the Republicans, don't do something, something demanded by the people, which the G. 0. P. in its platform pledged should be done, then the Democratic party will likely control the next House of Represen? PEACHES RIPE IN VIRGINIA The first local grown fully ripe May poaches ever picked in large quantities in the Suffolk section are being gather? ed on the farm of Thomaa J. Whit field.

Dr. Thomas H. Barnes, former State Senator, who was 78 years old Saturday and who rode through the orchards Tuesday, says he never has seen the like. Most people think the phenomenal ripening is due to the early season, but the owner says the variety of peach and method of cultivation are contributory causea.
