It la too burdensome for practical purposes. But, of course, this Is matter for tha legislature and not for tha courts. In my own case, I know tha plan la too burdensome and severe on the voter.

Judge Kennedy The law, seems to b a little cumbersome in Its practical opera tion as It works out. and I believe It ought to be changed. I believe the rotation sys tem Is all right. The difficulty la that there are too many candidates to be voted on. If the delegates were elected In each precinct Instead of at large the number to be voted on would be amall enough to do away with the objectionable features. I think there should also be provision made for the expression of preference for can dtdatea for office. This would be according to the direct primary Idea. If the direct primary were state wide there would bo no need of a convention and hence no necessity for electing delegates. Judge Troup I am In favor changing the law, as there Is no doubt It Is cum bersome In Its operation. This Is a mat ter to be taken before the next session of the legislature, where the remedy should ba sought, Howard H. Baldrlge, chairman of the Rosewater, campaign Committee, waa not surprised at the outcome and had this to say of the rotation ballot: "In my opinion the law should permit ... the voter accurately and easily to express his choice at the polls. The present law requiring rotation of names aa Interpreted by tha court when applied to the selection f a large number of delegates to a nomi nating sonventlon makes It too difficult for the voter to express his choice.

Howell, one of the Fontanells lead ers, had this to say when, a shed hit opin ion by now of the rotation ballot: "As a matter of fairness If a man's name begins with W or X It seems to me tho rotation ballot Is a good thing.

Jki I. Kennedy Talks on tho Resnlts of Congressional Wsrk Mnny Important Bills' ' Passed. Congressman John JL Kennedy Is back from Washington,, asM while he Is pretty well tired out by th strenuous labors of the session f congreis, speaks enthusiasti cally of the results adcomplleheri. He said: 'The first. 'session of the Flfry-nlnth con gress will prove to bj the most Important Id the history of the country since the civil war. - This is particularly true because the measures enacted Into law are mostly constructive In character and will strengthen our Institutions and laws and develop our trade. "The railroad leglslatlan would of Itself make the session memorable". "It la a gr't step forward-In the regulation and control of ,'oommon carriers. The people have clxnplnlned. ncrt'RQ much of excessive rates, as of unfair discriminations. The new lnw will In large measure correct these evils. Tile discussions on the bill make It perfectly plain that It Is the Intention to perfect the law still further If necessary and that In the meantime Its provisions must lie carried Into effect without fear or favor. ) 'Btntchood has been granted to Okla homa and the Indian Territory and It Is left to Arlxona and New Mexico to say whether or not they ' shall be admitted as one state.

The new state of Okla homa will come In with a large, energetic and enthusiastic, . i-lllzenship and It has a great future Jx-fore It. The removal of the tax on denatured alcohol means a grrn deal to the mechanic arts and much, very 'much, to the farmers.

It will revolutionise many modern methods ami relegate the lll-ainelling gasoline to the rear. Boon for the Conanmer. "The, pure food law will be a godsend to the people. The Investigation made In ttwy house established the fact that many of. the most common articles of food and irlnk are adulterated and are sold by short weight-or measures. I'nder the n 'lw Consumers w-ni know what they eat or drink and huw much thoy'-get of It for their money,' . . "Tho mest' Inspection measure Is In class by Itself and will have far-reaching consequences. Tlr public agitation of the subject did g-eat Injury to the trade and Is to be regretted. The ultimate effect, however, will be a benefit to the entire country. The testimony taken before the agricultural committee of the house did not disclose that diseased meats were be ing canned or sold, but .that in some casea the aanltary conditions were Imperfect. A permanent annual' appropriation of $3,000,000 was made to cover the cost of Inspection, thus distributing the burden equitably upon all the people. "' To shave done otherwise would have been' ts tax the west and the Industries of the west for tha benefit of the east.

"The settlement of the type of the Isth mian canal was of vital importance.

Nations, if tbey would be great in the hetter sense of t:.e term, must Intend benefit as well as confer it, they must plan advantage, and not eave the results- to chance. I take It for granted that our duty to the socalled Inferior races Is not discharged by merely feeding them In times of famine of by oontiibutlng to their temporary sup port when some other calamity overtakes them. A much greater assistance Is rend, ered them when they are led to a more clevHtcJ plane of thoueht and activity by Ideals which stimulate them tn self-develop, ment. The Improvement of ths people themselves should be the paramount object In all Intercourse with the orient. Among the blessings which the Christian nntluna are at thla time able and In duty bound to carry to the rest of the world I tuny mention five, education, knowledge of the science of government, arbitration as a substitute for war, appreciation of the dignity of labor and a high conception of life. F.d oration necessary. Education oomeo first, and in nothing have the United States and England been more clearly helped than In the advocacy of universal education. If the designs of Ood are disclosed by His handiwork, then the creation of the human mind la In disputable proof that the Almighty never Intended tlwt learning should be monopo lized by a few, and he arrays himself ssalnst the plans of Jehovah, who would deny Intellectual training to any part of the human raoe. It Is a false civilization, not a true one, that countenances the per manent separation or society mio iwo Dis tinct classes, the one encouraged to lin r..va tha mind and tha other condemned To hopeless Ignorance. Equally false Is that eoiicculion of International politics which would make the prosperity of one nation depend upon the exploitation of another. While no one la far-sighted anoiish ts estimate with accuracy the re mote, or even the immediate consequences ki.m.n action, vet as we can rely upon the principle that each Individual profits rather man looses oy Srosperlty of his neighbors, so we cannot oubt that.lt Is to the advantage of each nation that ever other nation shall make tha laraeet nonalble use of Its own re- n.irraa and tha raoabllltlea of ItS people.

The English langtiaae has lwmi ths vehicle for the conveyance of governnientAl truth, even more than for the ssread of general Information, for, beginning with Magna Charier and continuing through the era of the American . revolution and ths Declaration of Independence down to the present, no language lies been so mu-'h employed fr the propagation of that theory of government which trsces gov ernmental authority to the consent of the governed. Our own nation presents the mnst illustrious example known to history of a great population working out Its des tiny through laws of its own making and under offlcisls of Its own choosing, al though, 1 nisy ssv, we scarcely go beyond Knglsnd in recognizing the omnipotence of a parliament fresh from the people. It is difficult to overestimate the progress of a nation and. tn turning the thought of the world away rrom despotism to the possi bilities of self government, the pioneers of freedom mad weslern civilisation possi ble. F.tTect of nn Iden. An Idea will sometimes revolutionize an Individual, a community, a state, a nation or even a world, and the luea that man possesses Inalienable rights which the state UIU not give and which the etate, though It can deny, cannot take away, has niuue millions of human lieinga stand erect and claim their, tlod-glven inheritance. While the era of constitutional liberty Is ever widening, while the tyianny and lnuce of arbitrary power are every year decreas ing, the leadnrs of the world's thought, not only the English shaking nations, hut the other Christian nations as well, have jet much to do In teaching reverence lor the will of the majority and respect for the public servanta, upon Wliom the people bestow authority. The Christian nations must lead the move ment for Ihe promotion of peace, not only localise thy are enlisted under the ban ner of the Prince of Peace, but also be cause they have attained sch a degree of intelligence that they can no longer take pride In a purely physical victory. Thj belief that moral questions can be settled by the shedding of human blood la a rrllc of barbarism; to doubt the dynamic power of righteousness Is infidelity to truth Itself. That nation which I unwilling to trust Its cause to the universal conscience or which shrinks from the presentation of lta clulms before a tribunal where r.'ason holds sway betrays a lack of fulth In the soundness of Its position, tmr country hns resson to congratulate Itself on the success of Presi dent Roosevelt In hastening peacfl between Russia and Jupnn. Through film otir nation won a moral victory more plorlous than a victory In wnr. King Edward hns also shown himself a promoter of arbitration and a large number of the members of Parliament are enlisted In the same work. It menus much that the two groat English speaking nations are thus arrayed on the Side of peace. 1 Venture to suggest that the world's peace would be greatly promoted by nn agreement among the leading nations that no declnratlon of wnr should be made until the submission of the question in con troversy to an Impartial court for Investi gation, eaoh nation reserving the right to accept or reject the decision. The prelim inary Investigation would In nlmost every instance Insure an amicable settlement, and the reserved right would ho a sufUclont protection against any possible Injustice. Dignity of ljbor. Iet me go a step farther and appeal for clearer recognition of the dignity of la bor. The odium Which rests upon the work of tho hand has exerted a baneful Influ ence the world around. The theory that Idleness Is more honorublo than toil that it Is more respectable to consume what Others have produced than to be a producer of wealth has not only robbed society of an enormous sum, but It has created an al most Impassable gulf between the leisure classes and those who support them. Tol stoy Is right in asserting tliafmost of the perplexing problems of society grow out of tne lacK or eympainy peiween man nu man. Because some Imagine themselvis buve work, while others ses netore uiom nothing but a life of drudgery, there Is con stant warring and much of bitterness. When men and women become ashanud of doing nothing and strive to give to so ciety run compensation tor an iney rectum from society there will be harmony between the classes. Individual Responsibility. While EurcDt and America have ad vanced far beyond the orient In placing a proper estimate upon those who work, tfn our nations nave not yei tuny teamen me lesson that employment at some useful avocation is essential to ths physical health, Intellectual development and moral growth. If America and England are to meet the requlrenienta ol their hlgli po sl lions they must be prepared to present In the Uvea or their citlaeiia oxampiea, in- ot exiting in number, ot mn and women who llud deilglit in oontriDUiing to me wel fare of their fellows, and thla ought not to be difficult, for every department if human activity has a fascination of Its own. The agricultural colleges and Indus trial sohools which nave sprung up in so many localities ere evidence that a higher Ideal is spreading among the people, and now we come to the most Important need of the orient a conception of Ufa which recognlxua Individual reauonalbllay to Ood. teachea the brotherhood ot man and measures greatness by the service ren dered. The first establishes a rational relation between the oreature ana me cre ator, the second laya the foundation for juatlce between man and hla fellows, and the third rurnianea an aniouiun iare enough to fill each lite with noble effort. Mo service wnicn - we can renaer to me less favored nutions can compare In value to thla service, for If we can but bring their people to accept audi an Ideal they will rival the Occident In their contribution to civilization. Christian nation's Work, If thla Ideal which must be accepted as the true one. If our religion is true had been more perfectly Illustrated In the Uvea of Christians and In the conduct ot Christian nations there would now ba lesa of ths "White Man's Burden." ir It Is legitimate to "seeg anotner s profit" and "to work another's gain" how can this service best be rendered? This has been the disputed point. Individuals and nations have differed less about ths purpose to be accomplished than about the methods to be employed. Pereecutlona have been carried on avowedly for the benefit ot the persecuted, ware have been waged for the alleged Improvement of thoae attacked, and still more frequently philanthropy has been adulterated with sel fish Interests. If the superior natlona have a mission. It la not to wound, but to heal not to caat down but to lilt up, and the means must be example a far mote pow erful and enduring means than violence. Example may be likened to the sun whose genial rays constantly coax the burled seed Into life and clothe the earth, first with verdure and afterward with ripened grain, while violence Is the occasional tem pest which can ruin but cannot give life. Gfflcser of Example. Can we doubt the efficacy of example In the light of history? There has been great Increaaa In education during the lust cen tury and the school houaea have not hnon opened by the bayonet, they owe their ex istence largely to the moral lnflueuca which neighboring nations exert upon each other. And the spread of popular government during the same period, how rapid! Con stitution after constitution hua been adopted, gnd limitation after limitation has been placed upon arbitrary power until H.iaala vieldlna to Dublic opinion, estab lishes a legislative body and China sends commissioners aoroau wun a view to in vltlng the people to share the reaponai hilittfta of aovernment. While In America and In Europe there la much to be correc-tea anu aounaaui room for Improvement, there has never been so much altruism In the world aa ih.r. la lodiiv never ao many wno ac knowledge the indissoluble tie that binds each and every omer meiooer ui ma ra.-a. i h.u.

Society haa passed through a period of aggrandisement, the nations taking what thev had the atrenath to lake and holding what thev had the power to hold. But we are already entering a second era an era In which the nations discuss not merely what , they can do. but what they should dn. conaiderlna luatlcS to be more Important than physical prowess. In tribunals like that of The Hague, the chosen repreaenla tlves of ths nations weigh questions of right and wrong and give a small nation and equal hearing with a great and decree mintlni to conscience.
