ADJUSTMENTS.

The same old story. BY 5 o'clock yes
tcrday afternoon every seat in the
Lyceum theater had been sold, and
when the late corners rushed for places
to witness the production of "Nan0n,"
by the Wilbur Opera company, last
evening. the great majority OF them had
to be disappointed and turn away.
Eleven hundred seats at each perform
ance are sold at % cents. and at the
matinees. which are given on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday of each week,
every seat in the theater is but % cents.
When one realizes that the Wilbur
Opera company is composed of over
sixty people, and includes among other
things nearly 10000 pounds of baggage
in costumes. ETC., it certainly is pretty
big show for the money. The biggest,
sure, we have ever seen in this part of
the country. "NanOn' runs all the
week.

The tenth and last of the DAM de-

and local music lovers, if they have any
regard whatever in encouraging this
splendid musical organization, should
bring all their friends and pack this
theater. as this is the last opportunity.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Verify Minneapolis harbors genius
in the person of Michael Kavanaugh,
the poet-laureate of the 'Pillsbury A."
A man who would be moved to song by
the Hudson river, down along New
York city, would be able to hear elO-
nuence in Minneapolis council meet
ing. Michael is in New York awaiting
the distribution of his brothers estate
in accordance with the ruling of the
rourt of appeals, but his heart is with
Minneapolis, and he MARBLES about
home thusly:
And as | strolled by HudsOn's banks,
To watch the salmon play;
The birds are warbling on the bush,
Which makes my heart feel gay.
The sUeckled trout in Sportive play,
Are bounding in The rill;
hope I'll see once more again
The great Pillsbury mill.

Sir John Macdonald's campaign for re-

reproved him for making known his reci-

Biologists, he says, can estimate pretty near

performances on the part Of the opposition

Thursday was that of Brigadier General
Mitchell of the Maine militia. The General,

this State, and he based this conclusion on
the fact that he had lived this State twenty
five years and nobody had ever attempted to
buy his vote. BE ought to be promoted.

One of the chief outcries of the opponents

The popular branch of Congress has been
growing pretty steadily from the beginning
of the Government In every decennial re-
apportionment except one-that based on
the census Of 1S40-the number of members
in that body was made larger than in the
preceding decade. The House Immediately
after the first census was given los members,
while the eleventh census will furnish 1t
with 356 According to American notions
this is large body, yet the corresponding
branch of the German Parliament has 397
members, the French 5S4 and the British 67O.
There is no likelihood, however, that the
United States chamber will ever be as large
as either the British or French. Public sem
tlment here. so far as 1t has been manifested
at all on the subject, seems to be averse to
legislative bodies of the European dimen-
sions.

The New England Homestead has con-
Quoted postal card canvass to determine
the sentiment which its large farmer con-
stituency entertains toward the Mckinley
tariff law. On the question, "Will the new
tariff help American farming as a whole ?"
57,25S answer Yes and 39,133 No, a majority
for the law of 1925. On the question, "Will
reciprocity with South America benefit our
farmers% 6S,405 vote Yes and %, TAB No; on
the question of reciprocity with Canada the
hgures are almost reversed, being only 80. 9O2
In favor, and 6o.237 in opposition. Nothing
could better show the overwhelming senti-

policy OF free trade in those articles which
we DO not and cannot produce or manufact-
ure and high tariff duties on articles in whose
production or manufacture American labor
and capital are engaged.
In summarizing the results of the inouirv

1t will be noted that the New England and

1t will be difficult to find in this canvass
any proof that protection is unpopular among

Senator Sherman's resolution looking to
the amendment Of the constitution, so that
United States Senators may be elected by
the people of the States directly instead of
through their legislature. voices sentiment
which has been Of late years growing in
some sections of the country quite rapidly,
The reasons for 1t are various, but the cor
ruption which has been proved in several
senatorial elections, and the character of a
good many of the Senators themselves, are
among the most prominent of them. 1t is
undoubtedly felt, and no doubt the idea is cor
rect, that corrupt influences can be exerted
much more effectively upon the small body
OF men which constitute legislature than
upon the great body of voters who consti-
tute the State. 1t is felt, too, that before
the people the candidates fitness is likel, to
count for more than the length of his bank
account, and as the reverse is frequently the
case with legislatures, herein is to be found
one OF the reasons for the proposed change.
That the change will be brought about i'm
mediately is not probable. 1t requires a
constitutional amendment, and constitution
al amendment to be valid requires the rati6-
cation of two-thirds of the States, and must.
therefore, be slow process even If 1t met
with no opposition. 1t is not, however,
among the improbabilities tlat before the
lapse OF another decade our senators will be
elected by direct vote as our representatives
are. Public opinion seems to be gradually
