Now tliat the primary election i past, all
good citizens including the uiisin-es.-diil candi
tlatos can settle down to their usual vocations.
The defeated candidates can count up the liars
onlv ly uing the census report.
It was (juite a victory ior "Friday" Keller.
A man seldom gets on the lieiich at the age of
thirtv years. He is a young in:.n of good char
acter and after Senator Hummel turned him
down, Editor Lombard took up his cause and
carried him through.
The I'liion township correspondent to the
Post suggests that liars he closed on primary
election days, the same as on general election
days. He is certainly right. There is really
more necessity for this in a primary in Snyder
countv than i:i a general election.

n iiii'inlier o f the staiuliiitr committee
yet tried to explain why registration closed on a
week's notice for live full weeks liefore the pri
mary. Niither has any one explained why the
people were not given an opportunity to vote
for qr ugaii.st a permanent date lor the primary
the affaire of the party", but it it always proper
to allow the people a chance to express their
wishes. Io this case public sentiment was muz
zled.
Kverjr rural community needs et least three
institutions the Christian church, the public
school and the G range hall the church to fos
ter the spiritual iuterests of the people, the
school to give the children the foundation of an
education and the grange as a social, educational
business ccutre. Few would care to live where
the first two are not wiihin easy reach, but the
community that has only these sutlers a great
loss. IWul intellectual and even moral deel
opment come only from contact of mind with
mind. In the country this contact does not
come lrom the nature of the surroundings as it
does in the centre of population. It must be
provided lor or the people will lead isolated
lives. Isolation means narrowness and dull
ness. When the people meet to give the hand
clasp of fraternity, to deliberate on (piestions of i
common inteiest, ami to co-operate in matters
that concern them, dullness and narrowness
have no place.
Conditions lor Democrats to-Vote.
There should he a section in the rules specify
ing precisely upon what conditions a democrat
can vote at our primary elections, as it no.v
stands the matter of requirements rests with the
local board and the conditions in dillerent dis
tricts are as varied as the weather was during
the last campaign. Two dillerent rcquiicments
have belli discussed : 1'irnt, that the democrat
swears he will support at the coming general
election the entire licpublican ticket, tic, ml,
that he 1k required to swear that he voted for
the entire republican ticket at the last general
election. Some have suggested that in order to
show the proper sincerity, both conditions be re
quired. As long as the republican majorities in Sny
der county are as large as they are now, there is
no necessity for making the requirements too
easv. It is always best to be sure of a democrats
sincerity in the matter.
It is immaterial to the I'ost what these re
quirements are, but they should be embodied in
the rules so that they are uniform for the
countv.
Uniform Primary Elections.
Philadelphia Pre9.J
lot law before the session of the Legislature is J
ended, no bill to provide for uniform primary j
elections has lieeu introduced in either House, j
There is iio public knowledge respecting what
has been done by the su'.icomnnttee of the Re
publican State Committee appointed to prepare
such a measure.
There has been enough expression of opinion
on this subject throuji the Kepubliean press of
the State to indicate a pretty general popular
demand for some action. It is not a new ques
tion that needs to be held over for further con
sideration. It has become pretty familiar to all
who take an interest in such matters. Two
years ago a very excellent measure was passed
by the lower house, but failed in the Senate. It
provided for primaries by all parties at the san e
time in a!! tin1 counties of the Commonwealth,
and if it could have Ut n made a law would
have broiig'.i about ouie desirable and advan
tageous reforms.
The chief objection to any legislation on this
subject apparently arises from the fact that if a
new and uniform system were provided applica
ble to all l lie State it would make radical changes
in the existing methods in many counties. Dif
ferent counties have dillerent systems of making
nominations, and each apparently likes its own
method well enough not to want to make a
change. In those counties where the popular
vote system is in use there would le no very
radic il ehai'ge. The primaries would be held . j
by the general election ollleeis in the several
districts, and all parties would go to the pods at
the same time, but the popular vote method
would still prevail.
It is in other counties where they still have
delegate conventions that the chief opposition
exists. There is a convenience about the dele
gate system that makes it most acceptable to
those who want to manipulate conventions, and
there is a reluctance to give il up. We do not
believe there is any probability that a primary
election law similar to that passed by one house
two years ago will be considered at this session.
It ought to be possible, however, to take at least
one step in the light direction, and that step
could he taken by a brief enactment requiring
primary elections to be held on the same day in
all the counties, and not otherwise disturbing
existing systems in the dillerent counties.
Such an act would not, of course, meet the
requirements, but as a step toward what is
sought it would be so much better than nothing
at all. It would enable the people to familiarize
