The SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

Will De held III this State May IL
may from one point of view appear
to be very simple election, but
when the rules governing it. as
presented by the Democratic State
committee are considered it will
mot seem SO simple an affair
In every county IN the State on
the date named a primary election
conducted under the direction of
the Democratic committee, of the
county will be held. These cleo
tions will not come under the law
relating to primary elections, but
are to be held in accordance with
the terms and regulationsmad eby
the State committee and agreed to
10y the two candidates for the nom
ination for United States Senator.
Each county committee is to APP
point all the primary election off
GERS, six at each voting place, three
to be avowed adherents Of Carmack
and three to be supporters Of lay
DOR. Each candidate FOR Senator
is to name his three representa-
tiyes. This rule presumably is
not to be taken literally, as it
would be a tremendous job for
each of the candidates to person.
ally select several thousand cleo
dion officers in the heninety-six coun-
ties of the State. The candidates
will doubtless leave the selection
of election officers to their friends
and representatives in the counties
and also the selection of the spe-
cial representatives who will be
the watchers and challengers at
the voting places.
The cost of theprfmariesin each
county is to be assumed by the
Democratic committee OF the coun-
ty. 1t is presumably expected that
there will be no difficulty in secur-
ing election officers who will serve
without compensation. The part
isans of the candidates will prob
ably volunteer their services. But
there will be some cost in every
county which may be met by the
ardent friends of the candidates
without drawing upon the3purses
of the candidates.
A rule which may give some
trouble is that relating to the
ratification Of voters The pri-
mary is to be free party election
without any registration OF poll
tax requirements.
The rule provides simply that
"only white persons who are
known Democrats and who have
attained their majority, or white
persons who will be twenuy-one
wears of age by Noyember'6, 1906,
and who desire to affiliate with
the Democratic party upon attain
ing their majority, shallbe eligible
to vote in said primary election"
In counties where the contest is
close and heated there may be
disposition to draw the line very
rigidly in determining who are
known Democrats.
A good many Democrats nova
days wear very loose party robes,
which they throw off when i'll their
Judgment 1T is deemed advisable
to scratch a ticket or vote for q
candidate named by the opposing
party. For instance, many Dem
ocrats voted for Mckinley against
BRYAN, and some voted for Roose-
aelt against Parker for President,
and some of these have shown no
signs of repentance.
One can hear number of Dem
ocrats nowadays declaring that If
this or that man be nominated by
the Democratic convention for
governor theyawill not support
him with their votes.

The Raid on the Gamblers.

The police handled the .s45gam b ling
raid on Saturday night in a manner
which signalized the value Of disci.

ness and dispatch characterized every
movement. The raid was valuable as
showing that police force can be or.
ganized in which none of the elemental
weakness. Of political favoritism will
make itself manifest.
1t also demonstrated that the gam
blers were mistaken if they believed
the administration would, after having
publicly put the ban on gambling
quietly wink at infractions of the
law. Evidently the mayor and the
chief of police have been aware that

Rede's INSURGENCY.

The hit made by J. Adam Bede in the
debate on the statehood rule is adj
mitted by the correspondents, but some
of them intimate that it will prove but
poor compensation when Jadam goes

j. Adam is not lacking in political
and personal courage. There is a
story told of him when he was federal
marshal for Minnesota, which illus
trates his readiness both at repartee
and at getting action. It was in, a
little town in northern Minnesota dur

Orpheum-Modern Vaudeville.

Choosing headliner in vaudeville
bill is task like judges at baby
show Not all the audience will agree
with the mar who writes the copy
for the posters, and not always will
the audience be unanimous. With SO
well balanced bill as that which is on
at the Orpheum this week, awards are
difficult, but the poster man choice OF
Lillian Burkhart is pretty good guess.
HfThe Strenuous Daisy' is pretty and
a funny playlet, of more than ordinary
claim to attention in that it is well con
structed and well presented by Miss
Burkhart and the three players of her
support.
IF to win applause and recalls, to
"make 'em laugh gives clear title to
excellence, the Wilson trio in their mu-
steal comedy act have second place this
week. And Of the trio the Dutch come
dian is fairly first, tho the graceful
woman of the trio is very attractive.
Their act is well along On the bill, but
they leave the audience calling for

Paulo and Marlow's act is a novelty,
as it is billed. 1t is a musical comedy
without a chorus A discriminating
listener inclines to favor Paulo's voice
over Mile. Marlow's but she makes up
for the difference by her appeal to the
eye.

THE EVOLUTION OF A GREAT
by Newton Mann, y an
attempt to popularize the theories OF that
class Of Bible students who arrogate to
themselves the titles OF critics and
scholars" and deny these titles to all
who do not accept their conclusions.
The author well says, in his flrst sem
tence: This work sets up no great
claim to originality" He is right It is
only repetition Of the old arguments
against the traditional theory Of the
origin OF the Bible. Like them, in It's
main contentious 1t does not really
and then argues from them as scientific
truth. In short, It is full Of the logical
fallacy known as begging the question"
An illustration will make this; clear. The
original claim Of these critical gentle
men--of the class to which Mr.. Mann be-
longs-was that such body Of writings
as the Pentateuch-or. as they love to
call 1t, the Hexateuch-could not have
been written in the time Of Moses, be-
cause writing for literary purposes was
then unknown. When the marvellous
finds In Egypt and Mesopotamia were
made, that pretense Of the "critics" was
! thoroly exploded, and 1T became evident
that their whole theory rested on their
own subjective assumptions Now Mr..
Mann comes, and assumes the barbarism,
or standardization, and Ignorance OF
! Israel, tho living in the middle ground be-
tween two Of the greatest civilizations the
world has known, and rubbing shoulders

| surpassed in brilliance the other two On
