and it is a notice that Democracy ia
In fact the rule of the paopla, and
refutes the statement of Alderman
Unchurch that "an honest primary Is
a oke."
It was a battle royal yesterday that
resulted In the nomination of r. J.
Stanhope Wynne aa Mayor by a vote
of 1303 to the C93 received by Mayor
James I. Johnson.. the administration
candidate, the maority of Mr. Wynne
being (10 while Mr. Alexander
Stronach with a Vote of 1.23b to 120
for the present Police: Justice, Mr.
Thomas Badger, had a .maority of
BTS. .In every ,prccinct in every ward
there wait a maority for Mr. Stronach,
while Mr. Wynne carried every pre
cinct but one.
No leas remarkable was the success
of the reform ticket named by the
Democratic Masa-meeting for the
Board of Aldermen. That ticket car
ried seven out of the eight precincts
In the city, the administration forces
retaining but one precinct, the second
division of the fourth ward. In which
no reform nomination was made and
in which the fight was between two of
tho present Board of Aldermen. Mr. J.
Sherwood t.'pchurch, who won, and
Mr. J. R. Williams, who lost.
The tabulation of figures which show
the votes cast tell of a day of hard
and vigorous work by both sides in
the contest, the content 'being waged
from ; the. rising of the aun to the
going down thereof.- . There were no
collisions Or encounters ' at the polls,
bnt the vigorous tight went on peace
fully, each enndidata doing all In' bis
power to whr v: '.-
Not alone was the reform ticket far
city offices successful, but to this vic
tory was that of a complete change
In the machinery of the part, only
two of the members of the majority
portion of the Democratic city execu
tive committee - which ' ordered the
Snap Primary and Snap Registration
being re-elected, while of the reform
for the ExectuhM Committee t-nly
three members were lost. The elec
tion of this new committee means that
at the next election there will be no
snap or arbitrary methods employed.

question to Answer. . Aa th.; nutrtlng

OUT S45.000.000
That's What "Joker" in the
Revenue Laws Cost
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C. March 30.
What is designated as a "joker" that
cost the consumers of tobacco in thit
country nearly 1 45.000.000, was found
today in the existing revenue laws of
the United States by Representative
Dawson, of Iowa, who at once intro
duced a bl!! to correct the error.
Under the Ding'-ev tariff law the
two ounce packages of tobacco sell to
the consumer at 5 cents each, and the
four ounce packages at 10 cents. In
18.98 a war revenue tax of 8 cents a
pound additional was levied on tobac
co. At the same time, in order to
serve the convenience of the trade
authorization was given for the reduc
tion of the size of packages from 2. 1
and 4 ounces to-1 2-3. 2 1-2 and 3 1-3
ounces, thus enabling the smoker- tc
procure a five cent and a ten cent
package of tobacco "at the store."
In due time the war revenue tax
was repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr.
Dawson believes, to restore the pack
ages of tobacco to the original sizes,
and henee, ever since 1902, the eon
sumer of tobacco has been paying the
equivalent of the war' revenue tax tc
the manufacturers of 'tobacco.
Representative Dawson ' figures out
that the purchasers of each small
package has been mulcted oat of on.
oent and the purchaser of the target
of 2 cents and hence the "Joker" ha?
cost the consumer almost 345.000.000.
Mr. Dawson's bill proposed to re
store the packages to the original
sixes.

Dr. Eliot Sees Big Ad

(By the Associated Precs.)
Washington. D. C March 50. Pre-
dictiona of a wonderful adaoce for
the South along educational lines and
a Rotable tribute to Thomas Jea.'Trjy
for the influence he bad exerted upjn
the American public school tyatem
formed the features of an address to
day by Dr. Charles W. Eliot, retiring
president of Harvard University, he
fore the faculty and student body of
the Central. High School in this cjty.
The sneaker referred to the great
debt which the American universities
a.nd colleges owe to Jefferson, whom
he declared, was one of tho greatest
genulvaes that -the country has ever
produced.
"It la wonderful." said Dr. Eliot, to
see how the influence of that on man
on education has lasted. The reason
is that he had two distlsct concep
tions, both of which were great value
that education should te universal
and second that it should proceed
from the top down and not from the
bottom up."
Dr. Eliot spoke of the extended tour
whUh he has made In the SoutA in the
interest of education and which was
concluded at Richmond, Va.. las
night. Speaking or the movement tr
the Southern 8tatM. Dr. Eilot raW
that in a very few years a much larger
number of chldren are to have th
same privileges In the South that th

dents that if they wanted to man
education effective they must do tli?
things themselves by actual contra"

Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Gates profess

Mr. Hill nraes the paramount need

"With the recovery from conditions

The farmers In the West are turn

a loan on a piece of property there.
Instead of going to a'coantry bank,
he goes to the farmers In his locality
who : have the money and gets, his
loan at i to per cent. Aa a result
the country banks are sending their
money te tho large cities In search of

of money is one of the healthiest

Mr. Hill refused either to affirm or
deny the reports that all the differ

Interests had been settled.
Confidence After Tart Passe.
Mr. Gates on his arrival- hero went

his opinion on the business outlook,
Mr. Gates said: :
"When the new tariff bill becomes
