THE HEAD USHER.

ter and Never saw show.
From the Chicago Record.
II is as old as the proverbs that the cob
bler's children are always poorly shod.
The restaurant man goes home for din
ner, and the bartender is a total abstain
er.
The druggist may patronize the faith
cure and the railway man knows of no
greater luxury than ride in a buggy. Tho
street car conductor is glad to get day
off, 50 he can take long walk.
A more remarkable case than any OF
these is that of the head usher at the the
alter, and one theater in particular Prob
ably every play-goer in Chicago knows
him. The title Of "head-usher" does him
an injustice. He is more like a host or

There are head ushers who pounce up
on you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout:

There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry up or step lively. They give
loud warning that all coupons must be

They shout: Hey therem and are con-

to box office or is engaged as an usher

eNo matter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in 1t seems that every one who comes
receives some courtesy at his hands.
He doesn't shout or grab and the small
children are not afraid of him.
The most remarkable thing about this
model master of ceremonies, however, is
that he knows very little about actors or
plays
The other evening when the house was
crowded and the performance was being
received with noisy approval man who
came into the foyer between acts remark

Uniformity Of State Laws.

In anticipation Of the congress Of
state commissions to secure uniformity
of state laws relating to certain SUBJ
1ects, such as marriage, divorce, bank
ruptcy and legal records, which will
begin its sessions at Detroit on Mon
day. the Washington Post, speaking
for locality whence has come the
greatest theoretical objection to prog
ress in this direction, very wisely says:
1t is neither practicable nor desirable
to have absolute uniformity in the gen.
eral legislation Of all the states. for there
are differences in the character habits,
traditions, occupations, and interests of
the people In the various commonwealths
that demand corresponding differences In
law. One OF the chief sources Of our ma
tional strength-one Of the things which
make our Union strong and great-is the
absolute sovereignty Of each state in the
exercise of all powers not delegated to
the central authority. Within the limit Of
that sovereignty each state Is as inde-
pendent OF every other state as II 1t
were an island. This Independence pro-
notes state pride and fosters patriotism,
while II enables the people Of each state
to make such laws as local conditions
require for the promotion Of their own in
terests. But there are certain depart
fOrmity is desirable. and. apparently,
practicable. and we believe that the in
terests Of all the people in all the states
would be promoted II uniformity were se-
cured.
1t then cites the subjects enumerated
above, and adds: much progress
has been made since the work
began, and much more would
have been affected II all She
advocates Of uniformity had been will
ing to work on the same plan. But, un-
fortunately, many Of them thought best
to secure uniformity by 10 amending
the constitution OF the United States
as to transfer to the nation the various
branches Of legislation in which uni
formity IL deemed necessary. This was
serious mistake. The Individual
states will never surrender the right
to make their own laws on such sub
jects as marriage and divorce. and
there will be no addition to the authori-
ty Of the nation in the matter Of col
lecting debts. Congress can. when II
pleases, provide q uniform system Of
Bankruptcy. but II seldom pleases to do
90. and II does not permit Bankruptcy

vention. He wants to have all the dele
gates about whose election there is any
question seated so that he may control

important advantage In the convention
But Gilkeson's friends do not propose to

protest. They insist that the practice Of

little doubt that the two new bridges

the obvious facts that the bridges are
