a minimum of dlfflcnlty la the operation of (he o!«e>

ha found la the make-up of the Democratic party
; IIself—a conglomeration of a dozen or more email
r parties with conflicting policies and purposes, and
all of them seeking to gain control of the thing that
I •* nominally known as the Democratic party. Some
‘ day we are going to be coofronthd with the necesalty
for defining the word Democrat. Some day era mast
establish a rule as to who is a Democrat aad who is
not; mat then we must make provision* ta prevent
Interfered with Democratic party affairs by per-
sona who are not Democrat*. A political party la
not a public Institution; It is n private organisation
of persons wbos* ideas aa to public policies are In
agreement. It has s right to conduct Its affaire an
it may choose, aad a right to deny membership to
Say who do not accept Its doctrines aad pledge sup-
port to Its practices. A strong Republican party la
Texas would do more toward remedying the ertln of
the primary system than can be accomplished by
any kind of legislation by ths Thirty-Ninth Legis-
lature; for It would result In purging the Democratic

A WWr-MORTKM view of the rood bond election
***t Tuesday leads inevitably to the one con-
RJJ*08* Tax-paying voters in the rural sections of
county did not like the road building plan
oflsrrti them in the election. We do not agree with
!!■ view expressed by sopie that the two thousand
citizen s. who voted against the bond issue do not
flood roads; for, from our prejudiced view-
point, we can not understand why or how any good
ctttseii can be opposed te good roads. The enly
cMdusion is that th* road building plan involved
!h the Tuesday election 4as not satisfactory, and
, this revives the hope tnat a way may yet be found
f*f fhlvtng the good roads problem by the construe-
:* of a good roads system.
Bo many different kinds of roads have been
eons;rueuxi In Texas and yther states, and so many j
different rend-betlding plans have been evolved and
submitted for public consideration, that it is not at]
all aurprtslag that there abonld be disagreement
among Brown county citizens when a single road
building plan la offered for acceptance or rejection
We do not know tie reason that actuated most of I
the voters la their rejection of the bond issue pro-
posal, but that there was something very unsatls-
fnntory in the details of the plan la shown coaeln-
stvety hr the unanimity wtth which the voters la
many pied nets registered their opposition. That
these same voters are not fundamentally opposed to
good roads was shown in the election of November <
M»d. when a very large number of them supported
4 • road building proposal. The task that confronts l'
the Good Roads Committee, therefore, la to learn j
what kind of road building plan the people want, and 1
then to make arrangements to place that kind of 1
plan in operation.
It may be that rend construction by -districts ,
would bn more satisfactory than a county-wide plan
sack as was proposed In the two elections of No- t
vember 12 and January 2*. The tact that there are |
already three rood districts In the county, each with {
an outstanding bond issue, complicated -the situation (
somewhat la such of th* two elections, because of the f
necessity Cor leaning new bonds wtth which to retire j t
the outstanding precinct bond issues. Then. too. It I c
won Impossible to map out a county-wide system of j a
roads that was uniformly satisfactory to everybody; j o
while the precinct system makes it possible to build g
designated roads for th* use of residents of a deals- r
anted district, who pay all the costs of construction.
Thin county needs first Ulnae reads running east | j
and want sod north and south, from one county line .
* to the other. Such roads, area (without well improv- f
ed laterals leading to all th* small communities. I
would nerve more than three-fourths of th* popula-
tion of the county, and would take care of more than IV
ninety per cent of th* trnPatent travel. If u In tm- j *
possible to work out the details of a county-wide 101
rood building plan that satisfies all the people, can I
we not arrange for the oonntructioa of these two th
main highways, by district bond Issues wtth state and nj
federal aid, and then develop the remainder of the
Bounty's rand system at n Inter date? f I 1
* Th* Bulletin does not agree wtth the suggestion of
that the defeat of the two proposals for county-wide ^
( DO
road bond Issues should cause a cessation of efforts I
If secure good roads. Th* need for good roads la so | w<
great, and the benefits of good roads nr* so Tmpor- Ht
tail, that there should be constaflt activity wtth a j
▼lew to providing them. Many counties which are ,.u
now blessed with aood reeds were -pompelled to off
straggle wtth th* problem for a long time before Hi
finding a solution; but they continued to work with-
out casein j, until they got the roede they wanted
and needed. Brown county people arc just \» pro- ms
greaniv* ns are those of any other county, and there i***
ere very <r* of them who will deny the advantages **
of good roads. Where there la at least a unanimity, I rot
of sentiment hi favor of pood roads, thorn l* a b*sl*|n<H
for hope that we can have good rondo if ere continue I
to strive for them. r an

THE POOR PRIMARY
A MONO THE MANY suggestions for remedying
glaring defects in th* primary election system
of Texas is one which was offered by Lieutenant Gov-
ernor T. W. Davidson in his final speech te the mem-
ber* of the State Senate. His Idea In to amend the
law so that rrery person -who expects to vote shell
be required to record his party affiliations at the time
of poll tax payment, aad shall be qualified to vote
only la primaries of therparty thus designated. One
who expected to participate in the Democratic prf-
crat when paying poll taxes, and would not be quali-
fied a* a voter in a Republican or other primary dor-
mary. under this system, would register as a Demo-
lag the year. On* who regtafeyed a* a Republican
would not be qualified as a vexer 1a a Democratic
