Rev. T. S. Leland has consented to
look after the editorial department of
the paper
We don't mind being substitute
providing the dear public will reserve
ali kicks and punches for the editor
who is now drinking in the beauties Of
the "sun kissed landscape of Cali
fornia, so please remember we are
timid folks and have been careful and
successful thus far in life in avoiding
every opportunity granted us to become
great in the annals of history. Please
reserve that glory for the real editor.
We are simply acting as substitute,
but we are fully empowered with full
rights and privilege to dodge and run
whenever it seemeth best for the gen.
eral good of our anatomy, so we are
not responsible if any one don't like
what some one else imagines they dom
really consider was a proper thing for
the Rosebud County News to allow
appear in it's columns. We extend our
sympathy to Editor Johnson when he
does return and the Lord in tender
mercy bless the public, and if there be
any part of us remaining at the end O
our editorial career, please to carefully

The New Primary Law

We have realized for years that one
of the great evils which must sooner or
later be attended to in order to prevent
bad men gaining place on party
tickets as a candidate for office, was
to destroy the present primary system.
In the past the utter neglect of each
voter to attend primaries, accounts
largely for our corrupt political situa-
ton. We believe this new primary
is step in the right direction as it in
no way changes or affects the general
election, but it does require each voter
to be enrolled, and different coored
ballots to be in evidence thereby re-
moving the cause of a great deal of
the Misunderstanding. 1t does away
with delegates and conventions, and if
adopted in counties, it puts an end tc
the delegates aud conventions for put
ting in nomination candidates for
county Offices, for by the new primary
law, party candidates are nominated
by direct vote in your own voting pre-
cinct. OF course any American citi
zen who has lost his Americauism ant
zeal, above the age of u wears, wht
cares but little what kind of official,
the county and state may have, or h,
does not care to express his preference
need not enroll and yet can vote at tn,
general election as in the past Tn
new primary law also takes the plac
of the old time caucus and also require
plurality of 40 per cent in the selec
ton of candidates for governor an,
lieutenant governor.

Lion and Mouse.

THE Lion and the Mouse" by
Charles Klein, the author of The Mu
sic Master has scored the dramatic
sensation of years in Chicago at the
Illinois theater, where it is now in the
fifth week of its run, and ninth week
in Chicago.
Its triumph has been a we'll deserved
one, for THE Lion and the Mouse" is
finely effective dramatic presentation
of subject that is of paramount in.
terest to the American people-the cor
ruption of the civil government by the
power of concentrating wealth.
Mr.. Klein. has not only treated this
sociological problem in forceful in
he has also written a play of compell-
ing human interest so brisk n action
so replete in dramatic incident and SO
admirable in character portraiture that
the attention and the sympathy of his
audience is constantly retained.
The dominant parsonage in 1.-THE
Lion and the Mouse" is-John Burkett
Ryder, known in the financial circles in
which he is the acknowledged leader,
as Ready Money" Ryder.
Mr.. Klein is the first dramatist to
perceive the splendid possibilities in a
drama centering about money king,
and he pictures this magnate as we all
know him-his brusquerie, his power
his little vaRities and his shrewd com
mon sense; against him he arrays a
fine type of American womanhood
Justly incensed at the humiliation plac-
ed upon her father by this man of
money and his coterie of corrupt poll
ticians With fine ingenuity he intro
duces a love story between this girl
and the son of her enemy. The COM
plications that thus arise give occasion
for some of the most effective and con
vincingly dramatic situations that have
been seen upon the Chicago stage in
years.
An excellent cast is presenting this
interesting play at the Illinois, com
prising the following notable players:
Arthur Byron. Gertrude Coghlan,
George Parsons, Joseph Kilgour. Grace
Thorne, Flora Juliet Bowley, A. S. Lip
man, Edith Shayne, P. S. Barrett, Flor
ence Gerald, Edward See, Lillian Dix.
w. H. Burton and Ada Curry.
Performances are being played night
ly and Wednesday and Saturday matt
nees are given. the prices ranging from
so cents to $3.50. Evening perform
ances over at 10:45, thus allowing am
pie time for out-of-town patrons of the
Illinois to catch their trains.

The inquest over the remains of Els

jury returning a verdict that he came
to his death from wounds of a gunshot
fired by Edward Hoffman. Ross, who
is at the hospital, is doing well, and
is in fair way TO recover. His condi-

inquest the testimony of several wit

that he was not the aggressor.
