Good government usually results when citi
zens take a live interest in politics and go to the polls. Inefficient government, by the same
token, usually is a result of apathy and neglect
on the part of the voters.
Richmond's municipal administration for the next four years probably will be decided by the primary election on August 23. Here it Is where the candidates for the various offices will be selected by the voters. That is, if the voters go to the polls to register their selections. If they stay at home, a small minority of the voters will select the nominees, for .the. whole city, who, in that case, will not represent the expressed wish of the majority but only of that portion of the voters which Went to the polls. The" necessity of taking part in the primary cannot be urged with enough emphasis. Many voters have said that they will refrain from participating in the primary election. This is a capital mistake. The field of mayoralty candidates, for instancei is so large, and the qualifications so varied, that every Republican in Richmond ought to go to the polls to select a nominee who will represent the choice of the members of that party. If hundreds of them stay at home the selected candidate will not be the choice of the whole
party, but only of those Republicans who scanned the list and made their selection. The primary election serves a good purpose, if voters take advantage of its provisions, which,
in a few words, is this to enable them to pick their own nominees instead of letting a political
boss or a small group perform that highly im-
portant duty. A well marked step toward assuring a good administration of the affairs of Richmond for four years will be taken if a field of good nominees is selected at the primary. If men of mediocre ability, of little executive experience, of scant knowledge of municipal affairs, and of untested worth, are put on the ticket, the whole city will suffer from their administration. The time and place to select capable nominees is at the primary on August 23.
No argument of expediency or policy should influence a voter from neglecting to vote on August 23. It may be inferred that every effort
to discourage a wide participation in the primary
has a sinister reason back of it, because no cogent
argument can be advanced why a voter should fail to take part in a function which is his by
statutory legislation.
The primary is not a cut and dried procedure,
but an open test of the preference of voters for
candidates. The very fact that it permits of an j
unlimited participation of candidates, gives the voters an opportunity to make their selection from a wide range of men and women who are seeking to hold public office. The candidates are thus thrown before tha public for weeks. Their qualifications can be studied and their claims for the nomination put under close scrutiny. The voter, by eliminating one candidate after another, is able to pick the candidate who meets his approval. The primary is an exercise of political judgment in which every qualified voter should take part. Good municipal government in Richmond, it is believed, will hinge in a marked degree on the selection of candidates made on August 23.

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON
' NATURE IN AUGUST. The butterflies are In the air. The tees are in the clover, - The flies are sinning everywhere, The fleas they swarm on Rover. The skeeter on each pondlefs brink Uplift3 a song malevolent The cockroach in the kitchen sink Is prevalent. The grasshopper uplifts a song From every bush and thicket, The locust hollers all day long. And all night long the cricket. , (Cricket, wife says, not only sings. But eats well, I should hesitate To write the list of household things . She says it ate!) Dog-days are here. But as I squirm And scratch, I wonder whether Bug-days were not a better term For August's crawly weather. Though dogs delight to bark and bite, O Bugs, more deeply shock you us We'd loathe you, even were you quite Innocuous! Ted Robinson in Cleveland Plain Dealer. (From the Tuscola, 111., Review.) Sunday morning, shortly after the
man awoke, which was near the noon hour, Doc sent to a nearby restaurant for eats for two. In the meantime Doc
missed his money. He started looking
around for it, but failed to find it in
its customary place. He accused the
man and telephoned for Chief Getz.
While awaiting the chief's arrival he
decided to put on some third degree! Ftuff to get the man to divulge where; he had hidden the money. Hej grabbed him by the shirt, and in the; Fcuffle tore it off him. With his big! knife he threatened to disembowel the j row badly frightened and pleading
guest. Just at this juncture Doc felt some unusual pressure on his right thin. He glanced down and then remembered he had put his wad of money in his drawers and it had slipped way down below his knee.

CHARACTER . "Strange," I remarked to the chief, "that Jones didn't get that loan at the bank; I always thought he had lots of money back of him." "Not at all so strange," answered the chief. "There are a great many men whose credit Is unquestioned, but it is not because it is believed that they have money back of them. Very often it is regardless of whether they have any financial backing at all. - "A man gets credit because people believe in him. He might not ce "worth" anything. J. P. Morgan once testified under oath that he had known a good many men to come into his office, and he had given them a check for a million dollars when he knew they hadn't a cent in the world. In the same cross-examination he said that a man that was not trusted could not get money from a bank or banker on all the bonds in Christendom; and I think that is the rule the world over; that is the fundamental basis of business. "Commercial credit is not based primarily upon money or property. The first consideration is character. Before money or property or anything else is character. Money cannot buy It. A man with character with nothing behind it can usually get all the credit he needs; but it is very frequently the case that the man with the property and without character cannot get it. That is the rule' of business. "When a man goes to the bank and asks for a loan the bank goes into what a man has; but the first thing they say is: 'We want to see your record. He may own government bonds, railroad bonds, and he may go in to get a loan on the security of those bonds; but if he get3 a loan, he gets it on his dicircict-Gr "And the same thing, to a greater or less extent, holds true in picking men for big places. They much be men who can be relied upon, who will not give under moral stress and strain. The employer, of course, is interested in what a man knows and can do, but his paramount concern is the sort of character he has, his quality. No business man can afford to take a chance on a man in a big place unless his character is up to it. "And he is justified. Experience proves that a man may have friends, fame, good connections, genius, riches and almost everything else; but if he has not character then his whole house will fall down upon his ears and his brilliant qualifications will become dust. "Character is greater than gold, for character creates gold. "Character is armor-plate; it simply deflects attacks. "Every man who has truly succeeded has succeeded by reason of his character first and his ability afterward. "Yes, character is the pillar of every worthwhile career; and. fortunately, it is something every man can and must acquire to make good."

ANOTHER CRUSADE. This world will be a better place when peanuts are not sold; they are a menace to the race, they're causing grief untold; they bring us ruin and disgrace, and troubles manifold. Oiu' childrpn let their grammar slide, and jeer at all it tells, refuse their teacher as a guide .although she's wearing bells, while sacks of peanuts they divide, and pelt her with the shells. I've organized a band of guys to fight the peanut curse, and shortly you will see us rise and put it in a hearse; and .if you think the crusade wise, produce your ample purse. We cannot run this big crusade upon the modern plan imless you promptly give us aid and Fhell out all you can; dig up the roubles with a spade, and send them in a van. We can't alone by tongue or pen wipe, out this glaring wrong, for vil will rise up again, unless our blow is strong; we need all kinds of iron men to help the work alons. We have a high and noble aim, our purposes are broad, but we can't queer the peanut game and place it 'neath the sod. unless the deader, gent or dame, will send along a wad. We not when we'll reach our goal it may not be this year but soon the bells will doom, that's clear, if

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" DOING AND UNDOING Only as we are plastic in the hands of intelligence are we able to be anything. i The story of the city and the nation is one of building and tearing down. And this is the same process through which we all go from day to day. Our thought conceives and our hands fashion. You alone know what manner of man or woman you are. The builder alone is able to see through his own building. In trying to do, we so often undo. i It's because we are not super-beings at all, but jult human beings made of clay right out of the heart of Mother Nature. And so as expert stumblers we are very good! We do something fine that gives a thrill to the soul and then we do something that chills it all and often undoes what we hoped would remain as a part of our best maybe forever. But as "hope springs eternal in the human breast," so does aspiration dry and wipe up the stains of our undoings and teach us to do better things things which represent us as we are to our leading angels. "Our moods," says Emerson, "do not believe in each other." Nor do oumindoings so voluntary at the time seem at all related to the worthy deeds we do. " Click-clock, click-clock as the pendulum releases its all-day talk, so do we do and undo To DO all over again!

Subscriber Can you tell something about the author of "Silver Threads Among the Gold?' That still popular old song "Silver Threads Among the Gold," was written by Eben E. Rexford while a student at Lawrence university, Appleton, Wis. His mother inspired tne song, it is said. As a girl she had luxurious golden hair, and as she became older it became thickly threaded with gray, inspiring her admiring son to write the lines. Mr. Rexford died in 19H5. He was born in Johnsburgh, N. Y., in 1S4S, and when eight years old moved to Wisconsin with his parents. There his father tried to make him a farmer, but little Eben had k strong liking for books, and was- permitted to read a great deal. At the age of 14 his first published effort, a poem, appeared in the New York Weekly. He soon began to write for the Frank Leslie publications, Mr. Leslie himself paying the young writer the first money he ever received for literary work. Now that he was devoting himself to writing, Rexford felt the need of a broader education than he had obtained at the country school. So he entered Lawrence university, studying there for four years. While there he wrote "Silver Threads Among the Gold," his most popular song, although he did not consider it among his better efforts in the song line. He once said: "I have written a great many much better songs, but with the possible exception of 'Only a Pansy Blossom,' none has had anywhere near the popularity of 'Silver Threads. "
Having a strong passion for flow
ers, Mr. Rexford began to write a series of articles on his experiences in the garden, and for many years wrote on floral topics almost altogether. In this field he met with great success, being one of the first popular writers on that subject. - Readers may obtnln answer to questions by writings The Palladium Questions and Answers department.

Madam, the chapeauist, had bought six hats. Trying one of them on the first customer, who was thin, she said: "It makes you look so plump!" And the first hat was sold. To the second customer, who was fat she said; "It makes you look thin!" And the second hat was sold. To the third customer, who was florid, she said: "It makes you look so pale!"
