TAKERS VS.. WORKERS

After a season of strenuous effort In
behalf OF the American drama, the Play
goers' and Theatregoers' clubs OF New
York and vicinity have adjourned for the
summer. A statistician conected with
one of these oranizations has kept a care
ful record OF the splendid work accom-
plished by the two clubs during the
year. The number of topics discussed
was 595: the total number of words ut
tered was. approximately 7SS,9i2.6o4; or
iginal ideas expressed. IS: managers de-
nounceo. 16 new playwrights discovered,
2L; would-be playwrights discouraged,
SO: serious uIarrels between members, IL;

go away and rest. Scattered as they soon

SHOUTING TOO SOON.

Not Unexpectedly, there has been some loud
shouting because the Republicans have carried
towns that for years never did anything save elect
Republicans TO the town offices. 1t is plain case
of the Dutch taking Holland. Little if any, atten-
ton was paid to state politics in these contests,
which are purely local and are fought out on local
issues wholly.
What would do the Republicans better service
than their present Mysteries over town elections,
would be TO furnish some evidence that they can
agree upon compromise candidate for the United
States senatorship to be named at the next state
convention of the party. Such candidate must
possess better qualification than the ability to
pay off some old financial obligation and willing
ness to finance the party machine in the future. He
must be man of ability and character and must
moreover, be one with courage enough to show the
members of his party the folly and menace of ma
chine rule.
Can such man be foundi The Republican
leaders, those who believe in anything but holding
down the offices, must realize that unless the
honest men OF the party shown that the real
purpose is TO give the state good and progressive
government defeat is foreordained
The independent vote is steadily increasing
There are thousands of voters still in the Republi-
san ranks who hope the leaders will be wise enough

A NATIONS DISGRACE

IT must been humiliation. deep with
touching pathos. for the naval vet
Grams OF the Civil war to know on
this Memorial Day that the blue uni-
form they wore in battle and blockade
Is now so lightly honored by the land
they helped to save. This simple garb
OF blue means much 20 these old men--as
II should mean by law and custom and
affection 10 the whole country. II symbol
ICES for them a past glorious with aspira-
ton. filed with unquesioning sacrifice
and Illuminated by deeds whose memories
will never die.
1t is unthinkable that the blue uni
form of the sailor should be anywhere
less than a badge of honor or that the
wearer of IL should be welcomed with
aught but the widest charter to the lib
critics and grateful hearts OF our people.
And yet, not at jamestown nor at New
port alone, but here i'm this seacoast city
and along the fringe OF the Atlantic from
Portland southwark. and on the Pacific
sltpe. our splendid blue ckets are denied
by miserable ingrates the honest amuse-
ments OF the shore. Not. let II be remem-
bered from personal misconduct. but be-
cause OF the uniform-the nations uni-
form--they wear.
The season for temporlzing with this
foh commercialism has passed Where
common gratitude and public decency
have failed let the law enter. And surely
no one will welcome this more than the
grizzled veterans who. mastering with
thin ranks today, are, with all their losses,
happy and honored by the escort of their
brother sailors and marines OF the feet

SENATOR KEAN'S CHANCES.

There are indications in New Jersey that Sena-
tor Kean will find it extremely difficult if not inn
possible, to secure a reelection He is regarded as
an enemy of President Roosevelt's policies and as
being too careless in regard to his association with
those favorable to making all interests in the state
subservent to the corporations. The senator's
friends do not admit these charges, but many New
Jersey people claim it in the days OF favorites
he chosen, and that now, in the days when the
people making their own selections, he is not
one who comes up to their requirements for the
senatorial office.
Ex-senator Dryden's fate is said to have in
sured Keans failure. Kean never had the approval
of the Republican rank and file and was defeated
even when Republican candidate for governor.
There is broad principle involved in the next
senatorial election in New Jersey. The Republican
sentiment at present is strongly in favor OF selecting
candidate by popular vote, that is as far as a
choice can legally be obtained in that way There
was much feeling in the last senatorial campaign,
and while the machine so manipulated the caucuses
that it looked as IL all that was lacking the
credentials of the secretary of state TO keep Senator
Dryden at Washington another six years, so per-
sistent and determined were the men who fought
the machine that Dryden's election was rendered
impossible.
True, the Dryden men managed to have one OF
their own kind and of no special htness
chosen as senator but terrible blow neverthe-
less given the Republican machine. One result OF
this fight has been the superior character OF the men
under consideration for the Republican nomination
for governor next fall.
Those who fear the United States senate will
not be as able body hereafter if the selections are
to be made by the people, must take into considera-
ton the fact that Dryden beaten by public
opinion, that here in Rhode Island the naming of
convention Of the people prevented the sale at
auction of senatorship, and that Senator kean's
defeat is apt to result from the adoption of the idea
that the people ought to have voice in the selec-
tiou Of their senatorial representatives.
