There has benn some talk of
cutting down some of tho trees
in the park and along the bou-
levard. If this is done, it will
be a serious mistake. It is
true these trees an too numer-
ous at the present time. How-
ever, the weaker ones will die
and in a few years there will be
no more trees than are necessa-
ry for both ornament ami
shade. As fast as the trees die
they should he removed and
all rubbish cleaned up. There
are plenty of people who would
remove the dead trees for the
wood. If the trees are thinned
out now, in a few years, after
those left standing have died
we will find our park and bou-
levard denuded and much ol
the chief beauty of this city,
her trees, will have been de-
stroyed. Furthermore, what
trimming is done should be
along scientific lines and should
not be done in a haphazard
way. Edmond is the forest
I city of Oklahoma and should
maintain this distinction. Keep
! your hands off the trees.
Much to the credit of th<-
committee on parks and bou-
levards, there is a good stand
of blue grass and white clover
in the park. Indications now
are that in a few weeks more
than half of the park will be
covered with a carpet of green.
An excellent start has been
made and the grass should be
thoroughly protected and next
fall seed should be sown where |
it failed to grow last fall. It'
the park is given proper atten-
tion in summer and fall in
another year it will be the fin-
est park iu the territory. It is
to be hoped that the new park j
and boulevard committee will
carry out the excellent work
begun by the old committee.
The cemetery is another
matter that needs attention. It
is the abiding place of those
we hold dear to our heart, the
final resting place of many who
brought happiness and sunshine
into the home and we owe it to
the departed to see that the
cemetery is kept in proper con-
dition. Some one should be
employed for this purpose and
the new council shoula take up
this matter at an early date.
THE PRIMARY CONVENTION.
The Oklahoma City Times-
Journal devotes considerable
space to a discussion of primary
conventions. However, after
it has concluded, it is not clear
to the reader whether or not
that paper favors the primary
election. So far as The Sun is

position. It is opposed to the
primary election, especially ii
counties that are close, politi
cally, for two reasons. First,
it imposes an additional finan-
cial burden on candidates, in
usrnuch as it practically com
pels them to make two cam
paigns, one for the nominatioi
and an other for the election
that is, for the successful f*ai.
didate. The expense of theM
two campaigns would bar many
a good man, who would not
have the means, from office,
and would give men of wealth
a political monopoly. The sec
oiid objection to the primary is
men of opposite political affil-
iation cannot be absolutely pre-
vented from voting and inclose
contests they might decide who
should be the candidates.
It is true some argue thai
there should not be any cam?
paign expense, so far as candi-
dates are concerned. We agree
with all such argument. Kot
a candidate should spend on
cent in a campaign. However,
campaign expense seem to be
a necessary evil. The condi-
tion exists and must be faced,
like many other evils.
