"TiIlie Olson" Toniuht.

One of the most amusing and di-
verting comedies of the season is the
clever Swedish dialect drama "Tilly
Olson" if all reports are to be be-
lieved 1t will be seen in this city at
the Keylor Grand theater. Wednesday,
October Goth ard Thursday, October 81.
lyon Yonson' proved to be one Of
the most successful comedies ever
written. and "Tilly Olson is said to
be even better than lyon Yonson." In
the new play the central character. in
stead of a man. is a young Swedish
girl-a sort of a Scandinavian sis
Hopkins She is first discovered as
bound girl in family of Minnesota
farmer people, but through persecution
is forced to leave and seek her fortune
elsewhere She makes the city of Min
neapolis her Mecca and there finds
employment and later distinguishes
herself by preventing the robbery of
a bank and receives from the officials
in recognition of her services, check
large enough to enable her to marry
the man of her choice and settle down
on modest farm. This simple story
of the plot does not afford an inkling
of the comedy that is brought out by
the author. 'Tilly'' has been made a
most charming and ingenious char
acter, full of dry humor and suppressed
mirth characteristic of the Swedish
nature. The play is in four acts and
eight scenes and a fine scenic produc-
ton has been gotten up by Messrs.
Moses and Hamilton. the scenic artists
of the Broadway theater. New York.
If the playgoer has seen "Yon Yonsor"
he will certainly want to see ''Tilly o.
son." Aimee Common, talented and
charming coincidence will assume the
role of the fair-haired maiden of Scan
dinavia. and the company will be who'll
ly capable to meet the requirements of

ioritv of the people of the state OF
Washington want an effective direct
urinary law. one that will stand the
test of airy courts, and it is well that
the enactment should be thoroughly
tested before the next general election
Since the people want direct pri-
mary law and since they are gong to
have one, why not have one that Is
constitutional and that will stand the
test. Many legal authorities are OF the
opinion that the present law is per-
fectly constitutional but there can be
no objection to it's being tested. 1t will
cost the state practically nothing and
surely the supreme court can be relied
on to do justice in the matter accord
ing to the rules of law.
Il is hardly justice to attempt to put
certain prominent citizens before the
public in the wrong light by accusing
them with attacking the law simply
for the purpose of avoiding 1t, partlc-
ularly when there is no evidence that
they initiated the attacks. Even If
some of these men are responsible for
the tests being made they can gain
nothing if the law is constitutional and
it is not to be presumed that any one
will want the law to remain on the
statute books in it's present form if it
is unconstitutional.
! OF course it is the popular idea to
lump at the conclusion that the "old
line" political bosses are wanting to
do away with the new direct primary
law so they may again get hold of the
wheels o. the machine and continue
to "debauch' the citizenship of the
state, but it is quite possible that such
allegations are entirely unfair. Such
methods are hardly justifiable to heap
popular disfavor on any one.
Every law on the statute books
should be in accordance with the pro-
visions of the constitution as long as
we have a constitution ard it is the
right of every citizen to test any law
if he so desires.
In our sister state of Oregon they
pay no attention to the constitution
and the legislature in that state, in or
der to satisfy a popular cry for certain
measures, has passed laws which were
known 10 be unconstitutional Much
litigation has been made necessary by
such methods and their state institu-
tons are now in sad plight by reason
of such absolute disregard for the con-
stitution. BY all means let us have
the primary law, which law is de-
manded by the people, thoroughly test
ed, and let us have the primary law
that will stand the test so that the
elections conducted under such law
may be absolutely legal in every par
ticular.
