WEDNESDAY,
THE HKSUIr OK THE PRIMARIES.
It Is Roosevelt. The Republican majority of Wayne county has spok
en at tho primaries, and that Is their decision. When a majority has de
cided an Issue through a ballot fairly taken and lawfully counted It Is not
tho province of a minority to set up tho banner of revolt. Tho Roosevelt
victory Is complete. Discount the result as much as you will, the fact re
mains that the bulk of Republican sentiment In Wayne county is for Roose
velt. It Is true that a light vote was polled. In most of the districts fifty
per cent, of tho voters remained away from the polls; In some districts a
still greater proportion. It is also doubtless true that tho number of
Roosevelt votes was greatly swelled by Democrats who called for and voted
the Republican ballot. Nor must It be forgotten that tho 'Roosevelt cam
paign was thoroughly organized, heavily financed and vigorously pushed.
But no one of these facts, nor nil of them together would account for the
groat Roosevelt majority, had it not been that popular sentiment was so
strongly with tho Ex-President. While It is Roosevelt's victory it is no
ono's defeat. Tho personality of the delegates standing for him or stand
ing unpledged was not considered. Tho principles involved in tho contest
were mainly lost sight of. It was Roosevelt's personality that conquered.
Tho American people are still swayed, moved and magnetized by a force
ful personality; they are attracted and swept along by tho dashing, the
dramatic, the spectacular, the heroic. It is not tho man who appeals to their
judgment, but the man who appeals to their sensibilities who, in a popular
election, usually wins. Tho voters of Wayne county are fully as intelligent
and thoughtful and conscientious as are the voters of any other county In
the State. Tho Citizen gives them full credit for sincerity, for intelligence,
for a profound belief in the righteousness of their action at the polls. But
this does not prevent them from being swept from their feet by a gust of
popular feeling for a popular leader, any moro than it has In tho past pre
vented intelligent people In this country, and the world over, times without
number, from being plunged into unwise action by the force of oratory and
the sway of sentiment. Given a magnetic leader, a plausible propaganda,
an appeal to the discontented, high-sounding promises of things that are
Incapable of performance, and you have the promises on which the con
clusions of the public is too often based. ' The history of these waves of
popular feeling is that they are usually followed by a revulsion of senti
ment, and the laurelled 'hero of to-day becomes the uncrowned king of to
morrow. Mo president since the Civil war was more popular in the South
than Roosevelt, until the day when, by his invitation, Booker T. Washing
ton, the colored educator, dined with him at the White House. Since that
event 'his name has been anathema below tho Mason and Dixon line. So
slight a thing can and does change public sentiment. The tldo that Is set
ting In so strongly for Roosevelt to-day
fore the Chicago convention. But,
tossing up their hats and shouting
moro than likely to be foremost in
Jeailerg who lead by dramatic force,
play upon'tho'sensibillties of the masses, rather than by wise judgment and
sure-footed skill, that a time comes when they are discredited and cast
aside by the very masses who applauded them. In tho mean time" Roose
velt Is a commanding figure in national politics. His successes in Pennsyl
vania will encourage and hearten his followers in their fight for victory at
Chicago, and his adherents In Wayne county and in this congressional dis
trict may well congratulate themselves on their success at tho primaries.
But, after all, it is the men who, with clearer vision, with a broader
outlook, with a more profound respect for such constitutional government
as tho fathers framed and the sons have given toil and treasure and blood
"to uphold; it is they who should congratulate themselves that In the
face of popular sentiment, unswayed by prejudice or passion, and in the
midst of probable political defeat, they had the courage and the judgment
to cast their votes for men who stood primarily for orderly government,
obedience to law, and the preservation of the constitutional rights of every
citizen. . ..

AVHO DID IT?
Somothlng that will probably al
ways remain a mystery is where the
Roosevelt managers are getting their
money. It Is admitted that since
Teddy's hat landed In tho ring that
the expenses of tho campaign have
exceeded seven thousand dollars a
day. Last week, 1n Pittsburg alone,
twenty-six tons of llteraturo wero
printed and sent out to voters as a
"last card." Some one with money,
and oceans and gobs of monoy, Is
spending it like water to beat Taft.
Roosevelt Is not paying tho expenses
himself. He Is not a rich man. Ho
Is said to bo In receipt of a stated In
como from Investments of about $8,
000 a year, and his salary as assist
ant editor of tho Outloolc is not very
large, probably $5,000 a year. Be
fore tho convention meets In Chicago,
if they keep up tho pace, Roosevelt's
backers will havo spent nearly, if not
(I ui to, u million dollars. Tho ques
tion is, who is doing it?
Tho "Durk" Horse.
Tho Philadelphia Press gives tho
following facts In regard to success
ful "dark" horses at nntlonal con
ventions: "At tho convention of 1880
Garfield was nominated on tho thirty-sixth
ballot, receiving 309 out of
tho 756 votes cast. Tho contest in
tho convention was'chiolly between
Grant and Blalno, tho delegates be
ing fairly divided between theso two
up to tho thirty-fifth ballot, at which
time 313 votes were cast for Grant
against 267 for Blalno and Garfield
60. Tho opposition to Grant con
centrated on Garfield on the thirty-
sixth ballot, giving him 390 votes.
Uarflold did not rocolvo a slnglo voto
on tho early ballots. At tho conven
tion of 187C Hayes was nominated on
tho seventh ballot. In tho earlier
balloting ho had boon led by Blalno,
Morton, Brlstow and Conkling.
Blalno was tho leading candidate,
having moro than twice as many
votes as any of tho others, hut could
not marshal enough to win, so tho
opposition concentrated on IHayes on
tho seventh ballot."
W. D. B. AIney, Republican candi
date for congress, received tho larg
est voto polled for any candldato at
tno primaries last Saturday, his voto
being 1.73G. Jool G. Hill had tho
largest Democratic vote, 607. By
adding these figures together It will
bo seen thnt only about one-third of
tho untlro voto of Wayne county was
polled at the primaries.

N. V. BAR ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS THE RECALL
Albany, N. Y., April 13. That
thero Is a growing sentiment in favor
of the recall of Judges and of judi
cial decisions oy popular vote, was
tho opinion expressed at a special
meeting of tho Now York Stato Bar
Association today, when resolutions
were adopted condemning such a sys
tem. Another resolution, offered bv
former Justlco I). Cadyllerrick and
seconded by Alton B. Parker, former
onier Judge of tho Court of Appeals,
was approved, empowering a com
mltteo to investigate tho cause of
this movement and if necessary rec
ommend a remedy to check it.
The meeting was unanimous in Its
opposition to tho recall. The reso
lution condemning it was offered by
winiam u. liornuiower, of New
iork, and in part says:
Resolved, that tho recall of
judges or the reversal of judi
cial decisions by popular voto
would destroy tho independence
of the judiciary and the Impar
tial administration of . justice
and deprive all classes of tho
community of the protection
now afforded to individual rights
by substituting for the train
ing, intelligence and conscience
of the judiciary and settled
rules of law, public clamor and
agitation and the constantly
varying opinions of voters over
ruling the judgment of tho
courts and nunishintr tho
judges for unpopular decisions.
Tho resolution further pledges the
New York State Bar Association to
urge the bar of the State and nation
"to unite, irrespective of party. In
opposition to such proposals and in
defense of tho independent judi
ciary.
This action is part of a plan to
havo every state 'bar association re
cord its position on this question In
time to be reported at a meeting of
tho American Bar Association next
August.
PEOPLE'S FORUM.
Wnnts Cresoto Blocks for Pave.
Mr. Editor:
Slnco reading the recommendatioii
of the Highway committee of the
Board of Trade in which said com
mittee recommended tho paving of
Main street with brick, I want to put
in an earnest plea for creosote
blocks. Wooden blocks treated with
creosote will last Indefinitely, and
as a taxpayer of Honesdalo and one
Interested in tho future welfare and
advancement of the town, ask the
members of tho borough council, be
fore whom the recommendation and
petition of the Board of Trade will
bo presented, to make a careful In
vestigation before selecting tho ma
terial for paving Main street. Thero
aro many points in favor of wood
blocks over the brick pave, the prin
cipal one being less noiso. Another,
it would ho easier on horses, the
wood giving whllo tho brick does
not. "Lot's get our heads together
and have a block pave," was onco re
marked by a German, "all wo have
Is mut, mut, mut." Tho same can
be applied to Honesdalo. Tho writ
er, howevor, fears that our heads
would make a poor pave, lie would
Hko to hoar from other property
owners on tho question through tho
Citizen.
