Port Fitoii Primary-
The Houston Post fsvors a presi-
dential and senatorial primary. It
«7>:
"If it be desirable ta ascertain by
primary election the wishes of ths
people with respsct to ihe presidency,
it u even moW desirable to ascer-
tain their wishes with respect to the
senatorship. for the reason that the
United States senator is more closely
identified with the welfare of the
stats than the President The sena-
tor is the state's spokesosan in the
federal congress.
Unless the senatorship be settled
by the primary, the people them-
selves will hare little to say about it
and the choosing of the senator
might be attended by trades and
combinations in the legislature. If
we are really in favor of the direct
election of senators, then we should,
in the absence of constitutional war-
rant for direct election, ascertain the
public choice in the only feasible
way, and that is through the primary
election method.
We urge the executive committee,
therefore, to include in the call for
a presidential primary, if it decide to
call one, the nomination of a United
States senator. First, because al
ready there are evidences of a com-
bination to manipulate the legislature
iu the interest of men who would
hesitate to submit their claims to the
people themselves; second, because
the people have the right to nomi-
nate a candidate for senator; third,
because it would remove from the
next legislative session a contest that
would be sure to overshadow impor-
tant domestic problems and probably
result io a deadlock that might
eventuate in the choice of a man the
people do not want."
Now that there are at least four
candidates for the senatorship—Ran-
dell, Sheppard, Ball and Wolters—
it becomes necessary to thin them to
a stand. The fact that Ball and
Wolters were leaders in the state-
wide contest will, in all probability,
simmer the campaign down to these
two ; but this would make the contest
strictly one of prohibition, and that
subject should not enter into the
matter of selecting a United States
senator. But let the executive com-
mittee exercise its authority and
give the Democrats a chance to se-
lect a senator and Presidential can-
didate by primary election.
Naval Experts Amazed.
Berlin.—Herr Christian Wirth of
Nuremberg gave an interesting illus-
tration ot a new method invented by
him, whereby a vessell may be con-
trolled without any individual being
on board and without any communi-
cation with the shore. By Herr
Wirth's invention he is able to trans-
mit power by means of radio-tele-
graphy and so control entirely the
movements of the vessel.
The experiment was carried out
upon the Vansee. The model, which
was fifty feet in length and fitted
with two masts, carried what are
termed "aerials" and was stationed
about a killometer from the shore.
With the utmost regularity and
with a marvelous precision and a
wonderful absence of hesitation or
delay, the engines of the model
started, reversed or stopped by the
mere pressure of a button cn shore,
the helm also being regulated with
equal precision. The large party of
naval officers and experts in the en-
gineering world witnessed the re-
markable and wonderful sight of a
vessel being maneuvered from the
shore without the^ssistance of wires
or any other similar means of com-
munication.
The mechanism on bbard the ves-
sel is so adjusted that V# soon as
what may be termed a certVin "com
mand" was given, a
colored light
showed on the vessel. In explaining
the working of this most wonoerful
of modern inventions, it was pointed
out that not only could a ship bt
controlled in this saaaner, bat that
torpedoes and guns could also be
controlled and fired by this radio*
telegraphic system.
Vtiture experience alone will show
to what extent this invention will be
developed. Considering, however,
that the present distance over which
the veeeel can be manipulaj|d is
about three miles, it speaks well for
the future of this ingenious discovery.
A Good Show.
The colored ssinstrels were wit-
nessed by a large and appreciative
audience here last Tuesday evening.
It is very seldom that we get to see
as good a minstrel show as this one
except in the larger cities. The dar-
kies were right there, both in singing
and dancing and were encored to
almost every number. The show
carries a fine brass band which ren-
dered some excellent music.—Gen-
esco Post.

Dr. Eliot's Future Religion.
Dr. Chas. W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, has drawn
upon himself a storm of protest be-
cause of his reiterated declaration
that the religion of the future will be
unified and simplified "under one
head—that of the love of God and
service to one's fellow-man." Dr.
Eliot is regarded as voicing to a
large extent the college sentiment
toward religion and his prominence
as an educator and public man has
given unusual force to his views.
*'The religion of the future will not
be bound by dogma or creed," he
thinks, but it will center round good
works. Pain, he says, used to be
considered as a punishment, whereas
"the 20th century religion regards
pain as an evil to be prevented or re-
lieved by the promptest means possi-
ble." "Thanks to science," he
adds, "there is comparatively little
pain now that cannot be prevented
or relieved.'' He thinks that "the
fear of hell has not proved effective
to deter men from wrongdoing and
heaven has never been described in
terms very attractive to the average
man or woman hence the religion
of co-operation and human service is
displacing the old-style religions.
