The Ion Jackson Concert.

The Ion Jackson Concert Company
gave one of their musical treats to the
music loving people last Tuesday eve
ming in the Y. M. c. A. course. The au-
dience was not as large as usual nor did
they give the quartet the welcome they
deserved. Miss Ada Hussey, who was
to have sung with the company that
night requested to be excused to accept
a fattering offer for two eveningsin New
York. Her place was taken by Miss Alice
M. Stanaway, whose songs II am to
the wind Of the South, and "The night
ingale has Tyre of gold gave the audi
ence an idea other rich, sweet voice. DR..
Jackson's fine tenor voice once more de-
lighted the audience and all were pleased
to hear him again. Mr.. Searle did ex-
cellent work as accompanist and his
solos showed him master of the piano.
Miss Often is a wonderful musical genius
and has attained a position as violinist
among the first. There is a sweetness
and sympathetic power in her playing
that thrills and fascinates her hearers.

Unsettled Morocco.

4 French newspaper correspondent
at Tangier has just made a journey in
the north Of Morocco, where he found
the natives in extreme distress, COM
PEELED to live on food usually given
only to animals, and driven through
hunger to commit many crimes. The
country people are flOcking into the
towns in the vain hope Of finding work
and are forced to subsist on such
charity as they can obtain. Imported
foodstuffs, such as French -four. Rus
sian barley, rice, ETC., reach the ports,
but the cost of transport to the in
terror is too high, and the poorer
classes are thus unable to obtain them.
The crops promise to be much above
the average this year. but before har-
vest time arrives large number of the
people will, he foretells, die of starva-
ton unless aid is forthcoming In time.
The correspondent adds that even in
the most remote villages the Algeciras
conference was the sole subject of con-
versatiOn and has caused keen disap-
pointment among the natives. It is, he
says, precisely in those districts where
most was expected from the support
of Germany that the disillusion is
greatest and that a change favorable
to France is clearly perceptible.
France evidently has a chance now to
recover her prestige in Morocco, but
she has unfortunately no consul in any
of the towns in the north, where the
Germans appear to be working very
tndustriously.

NOT A BACKWARD STEP.

Several years ago a wave of feeling
favorable to centralized city govern
ments went over the country, and un-
der it's influence a number of charters
on the central or mayor" plan were
put in operation. Among these were
the Built charter of Philadelphia and
that of Greater New York. The latter
was sufficiently drastic at first, but
has been amended several times, al
ways in the direction of giving more
power to boards or elected officers,
whose responsibility it was believed
most radical amendment was made
by the present legislature of the state
the court Of appeals. 1t takes from
the city council the power to grant
franchises and transfers it to the
board of estimate. The board of alder
men is the elected board of the people,
affair composed of city and borough
officials. The granting of franchises is
the highest attribute of an elected
council in a city. Yet the legislature
has taken this function away from
the peoples representatives, appar-
emily with the consent of the people
themselves. The explanation of this
drastic step denies a drifting away
from responsible government and as
serts that it was taken in an effort
to substitute real for flake" respon-
sibility. The board of aldermen of
New York had long ceased to be even
resepctable; as to being responsible to
the people, the thought never entered
the heads of the members They be-
longed to Tammany, and to Tammany
alone. With the board of estimate it
was different. This was composed of
the mayor. controller, the presidents of
the boroughs and the chairman of the
board of aldermen. Now these men
are really responsible. Their official
acts are scrutinized by the people
closely They must stand or fall on
their administration of their offices.
In transferring the franchise power to
this board the people really turned it
over to SMALLER more select and more
representative council

GLASFORD AS A REFORMER.

If Councilman Glasford had been
half as anxious to save the city and
ing of paving contracts as he pretends
to be in the building of the pipe line,
the city and property owners would
be thousands of dollars ahead. On the
contrary, he has constituted himself
an active agent for the Warren Con-
struction Company, handling their lit
erature and doing everything in his
power to promote the interests of
other towns where it is seeking con-
tracts. He places his responsibilities
as a putative agent of that paving
company above his obligations to the
public as a member of the council. In
the awarding of the contract for the
pipe line ditch he got in his work for
the Warren company at a cost to the
city Of not less than $4,000 If the
city had undertaken to dig the ditch,
placing some capable man like Dion
Keefe in charge at a salary of $3.50
for the job, it could have saved the
bonus now being given the Warren
Construction company over the salary
being paid Keefe and the cost of tools.
This is quite as serious a waste Of the
public money as that involved in the
contract with the National Wood Pipe
company over which Councilman
Glasford has been making such a
howl. If he can only succeed in hav-
ing Engineer Thomson dismissed and
Engineer Weile placed in charge of
the construction of the water system
he will be serenely happy. If that can
not be accomplished perhaps he could
be appeased by allowing the Warren
Construction company to appoint in
spectors for the pipe line reservoirs
and settling basins, making the chief
engineer kow tow to the company's
orders.

Nine. Currie has been appointed to
succeed her husband as lecturer on
physical science at the Sorbonne, and
is likely to be promoted to the full
professorship. This is not done for
sentimental reasons. 1t has been init
mated that Nine Curie was the prime
mover in the experiments which made
the name Of both famous through their
discovery of the properties Of radium
Indeed it was she who first studied the
phenomena. There is no reason why
a woman as well as man should not
make a discovery of SURPRISING inter-
est to science. And if she does why
should she not be properly honored?
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-23

Some of the members of the old pa
per trust, recently broken up by the
government, talk very bravely of what
they are going to do in order to get
around that decision. The most ac-
copied plan seems to be to organize
new general company, which will
take in all the individual companies.
This may be done, but about the time
it is done there will probably be some
thing doing toward the removal of tar
if on paper and wood pulp. The re-
peal Of the duty would be much easier
than the breaking up of the trust.

NEW PRIMARY EXPERIMENT.

Governor Deneen's special session of
the Illinois legislature has thrown off
a primary law Of a new and curious
kind. The western states are full of
primary law experiments. ranging
from the thoroughgoing Wisconsin
system to the harmless homeopathic
caucus law Of South Dakota. This
latest effort has features all it's own,
however.
The Illinois law does not do away
with any of the conventions, but the
primary will give voters chance to
register their choice as to candidates
at the same time they elect delegates.
state conventions will be chosen at
the primaries and they will be bound
to vote on the first ballot for the cam
didate who has received the largest
vote in their district. Any man get
ting a popular majority is therefore
sure Of nomination. If more than one
ballot is required, the delegates may
then vote as they please.
The Illinois law seeks to avoid the
cumbersome features of the North Da-
kota law by cutting counties up into
delegate districts. There will be no
list of fifty or hundred delegates to
be marked by the voter at the Illinois
primary.
The innovations in this law have
been discussed in every state as mat
ters of theory, but no other legisla-
ture has been willing to adopt them.
If they prove practical, they will add
much to the development of the prima-
dy idea. They will solve the problem
of preventing minority nominations,
which is one of the worst features OF
the Wisconsin law.
