Are Primaries Always Honest?

1t is now generally admitted thai
the caucus must give way to the
primary. and there are those who as.
sumo that because the primary is pre-
ferable to the caucus it must be
honest, or that it is of necessity,
honestly conducted.
We invite careful reading of the
following examples of the working OF
the primary election plan in Franklin
county, leaving our readers to draw
their own conclusions.
At the republican primary election
held in the county the first of last
June, Governor Cummins received
/ 1897 votes, George d. Perkins, $40;
total 2,646. all supposed to be cast by
republicans. At the election held
Nov. 6, Gov. Cummins got /, 1853 votes.
"a votes less than at the primaries and
1888 votes less than the republican
vote in June. The total vote for all
candidates for governor at the recent
election was 2, 498, or 14S less than
the vote cast by (alleged) republicans
at the primaries in Junel
There was but one precinct in the
county where Governor Cummins'
vote at the election exceeded the total
republican vote cast at the primary
and that was Wisner township. In
Mott, Osceola and Scott townships,
the governors vote was less than half
of what the republican vote was at
the primaries, and in Mott. while he
did not carry the township at the
primaries, he got more votes than he
did at the general election.
Does any reasonable thinking man
believe that of the 40 votes cast at
the June primaries in Mott township
for Cummins and Perkins, that ma
jority Of them were republican votes?
If so, what became of the shrinkage
of nearly one-half between that time
and election, for Sc votes was the
highest received by any republican
on the state ticket. Mott township
is only mentioned as an example. In
Latimer, out of Sc votes cast at the
primary, only 81 could be accounted
for when it came to election, and
in Marion out of 1875 at the primary,
all but "a escaped before election.
These things are worth thinking
about and recommended TO the
earnest consideration of those who
think that the plurality primary con-
tains all that is honest in politics. -

THE GINGERBREAD MAN.
A Really Great Production Booked for Holt
day Week at the Grand.

The success of all stories dramati-
cally or lyrically unfolded on the
stage, lies in their simplicity, direct
ness, strength of character drawing.
and force, of appeal to the emotions.
A striking instance of this is "The
Gingerbread Man." the new and
novel musical comedy fantasy by
Frederick Ranken and A. Baldwin
Sloane, which will be seen at Grand
opera house on Friday. Dec. 2Sth.
The dainty story is laid amidst an
atmosphere of mildness and peace, yet
there flourish love, intrigue, revenge,
plot and counter plot. Instead of the
melodramatic thrill. however, there
is the pleasure of wholesome laughter
and the cheering solace of real hu-
NOR. All the action of "The Gin
geIbread MAN. centers in and about
the mythical Kingdom of Pastryland
and Bon Bon Land. His saccharine
Majesty, Bum XIII. is~ruler of these
kingdoms. The Princess Sallie Lunn,
first cousin to King Bum Of Pastry
land, is loved by Prince Caramel. the
heir apparent of Bon Bon Land. He
has rival, although unaware of it,
in the person of his father. Enter
now the complications in which our
old and always welcome friends Of
the nursery rhymes take part; Kris
Kringle, Simple Simon, Peter Piper.
Margery Daw, and Little Jack
Horner. Jack has love affair with
Maize Bon Bon, confectioner' S
salesgirl, ostensibly, but who is really
the only daughter of King Sugar
Plum. Through the Vaccinations of
one Machavelius Fudge, a dealer in
black art and evil omens, Maize and
Jack Horner are separated. Jack in
vokes the aid of Carmelita, the good
Fairy Queen, to restore Maize to him.
All the action incident to this first act
occurs in Santa Claus Land. Fudge
has by the powers of his art, restored
to life Gingerbread Man. He. too,
Joins In the search for Maize. They
are close upon her when Fudge ap-
pears in an airship and bears her
away to the kingdom of Bunnland, to
where the Fairy and all the searchers
give chase. The rival. but beautiful
kingdoms of Bon Bon Land and
Pastryland are all aroused over the
arrival of the strangers. Other char
acters introduced are "The Man From
Our Town, "Taffy, Taffy" and "The
Fiery Dragon, and of course the two
kings. The Fairy Queen demonstrates
that her powers for good are stronger
than are those of Fudge for evil, and
Maize is restored TO her lover Jack
Horner.
There is gorgeous and happy end
ing to the story, not spoiled by the
fact that Carmelita, the Fairy. re-
forms Fudge. the black exponent.
Incident to all the rapid and humor-
Gus action of the piece, are delighted
lyrics, the most catchy music and all
with gorgeous costume and scenic
setting. The cast especially selected
to present this novel and fanciful
fairyesque would prove notable one
in any comic opera. All are prime
favorites and some of them indi-
vidual stars. A glance at u few OF
the names is sufficient: Gertrude
Gimme, Mae Phelps, Marie Marry,
Helen Miller, Nellie Lynch, Homer
Lind, Ross Snow, Eddie Roadway,
Gus Weinburg, Will Donnelly and
w. H. Mack.

A lot of experts in Colorado have
been investigating "why COW

should learn whether a COW kicks be-
cause she is vicious, or whether il
was on account of the actions of the
mixer. Thirty different COWS were
tested and several members of the
commission were kicked into the mid
die of the next week. and the best
that could be done after three
months hard work was to report
"we respectfully report that the kick.
ing COW kicks because she does. "
This ought to settle the business
forever. One man suggests that the
only way to obtain a cow that will
be absolutely free from this habit
is to get a breed that has but one

"Abelish the legislature, elect a
commission of fifteen or twenty men
which could meet, not once every
two years. but whenever occasion de-
manded. and meet with the attorney
general and governor to make the
laws" Such is the course advocated
by O. s. Byrkit, formerly deputy
secretary of state. Mr.. Byrkit does
not expect soon to see his idea carried
into actual practice. but he sustains
his position that it would be better
than the present method by means
of many arguments. He calls the
present method Of making laws cum
bersome and unwieldy. 1t is neces-
sary now, says Mr.. Byrkit, to run a
long gauntlet before you can get q
law passed.

Ell Gobierno J los BanCOS

Ell 1nico proyecto de !egislacion
rentistica presentado hasta ahora al
Congreso acaba de hacer su aparici6n
en- la Camara, apadrinado por el pre- ST.
dente de la comisi6n bancaria de ese
cuerpo. En- el Sc autoriza al ministro
de Hacienda para depositar en- Bancos
nacionales todos los fondos del Go
bierno los que juzgue conveniente
dar ese destino, aparte de $4,000, ooo
que Sc tendran mano para atenciones
corrientes, Entire esos Bancos Sc dis
tribuiran con toda la equidad possible
las sumas cuantiosas que eli proyecto
entrafIa
Las dos innovaciones esenciales son
que no Sc exigira los Bancos garan-
tia especial por esos dep6sitos que q
gobierno percibira un inter6s de doa@
por ciento sobre las sumss depositad as.
Bajo ell sistema actual los Bancos na-
cionales que reunen las condolences ne
cesarias para recibir caudales p1blicos
comienzan por comprar bonos del 60
bierno y depositarlos como garantia
en- la Secretarfa del Tesoro. En- cam
bio no paga interGs al gobierno al paso
que reciben de este el interGs de los
bonos.
En- ell preambulo del proyecto Sc ex-
plea la Suppression de esa garantfa exi-
gida hoy diciendo que el gobierno au-
toriza la fundaci6n de los Bancos ma
cionales despuGs de yer que Sc han
cumplido los muchos requisites exigi
dos al efecto, que tiene estabecido
tambi6n un complete y cuidadoso sis
tema para la inspection y vigilancia
de dichas instituciones; y que con to.
das estas precauoioncs yienc 4 dar Il
gobierno mismo una garantfa de Ii
solvencia y seSuridad de eses Bancos
como depositarios de fondos pdblicos
y particulares. La comisi6n opina
que las estrictas precauciones tomadas
el perfecto sistema dc garantfas exi-
gidas son sufcientes para justihcar el
dep6sito lie fondos nacionales sin la Sc
goridad adicional que hoy proporcio-
nan los bonos
Con la nueva ley tendrian los Ban
cos la ventaja de poder destinar 4 IN
versiones mucho mas productivas los
capitales que al preseDte, solo les rim
de Ell modesto interes de los bonos del
gobierno Y este a su vez recibiria
de los Bancos nacionales el dos por
