THE COMMERCIAL CLUBS ROOM

The announcement was made yester-
day that the Commercial club would
have to pay $75 per month for the use
of the commodious quarters on the
top floor of the city hall, this being in
accordance with the agreement of the
club to pay the city monthly the sum
represented by the additional interest
charges due to the cost on the extra
story of the building
While this rental is not exorbitant
in view Of the excellent quarters Sc
cured, it occurs to The Statesman
that it would be the part of good poll
cy for the city to relieve the CONNER
cial club of the burden of this rental.
The Commercial club is at least a
quasi municipal organization; it is
performing public duty in advertis-
ing the city and in bringing to the city
public meetings from different parts of
the state. In a different way, it does
the city as much actual good as does
the police department or the city coun-
ell. 1t is necessity, and The States
man believes that the city owes it to
this admirable organization to furnish
it with quarters in keeping with its
character
This suggestion is respectfully sub
United to the city council.

The returns indicate that democrats
manifested only scant interest in the
Urinary. and that. in some instances
at least, democrats voted the repub-
lican ticket. though without a legal or
a moral right to do SO.
There is no means of determining
how many democrats participated IN
the republican primaries, but it is rea-
sonabIe to assume that considerable
number of the more unscrupuious
members of the party deliberately
sought to foist weak nominees upon
the republican party.
But there is another view TO Jake
of the light democratic vote in this
state. 1t may be that they did not
wish to show their strength. 1T is
hard at times to tell the difference be-
tween political apathy and party dis
affection in the earlier stages or
state or national campaign.
while there has been no outward
evidence of a weakening of the repuo-
lican party's position in this state YET
the republicans should fully realize
the need of unusual care at this Tune

..IS TAFT A WEAKLING?'

Most of the campaign news received
by telegraph consists Of excuses Iof
Taft-and the conviction is growing
that the great, strong man, Wnom we
know in Washington, and whom many
of rs believed to be of the sort of tree
from which presidential timber is cut,
is either not in that schedule at all Vi
else is being grossly misrepresented by
his friends. says the Seattle Times.
If Taft cannot be trusted to make a
speech which has not been carefully re-
vised. why all this talk about his con-
ferences with his advisors?
If Taft is the candidate for the pres
idency, why all of this overshadowlng
talk about Roosevelt, Hitchcock and
Vorys?
If Taft cannot be trusted to meet the
people in a rough and tumble car-plat-
form argument, why all this discussion
as to the wisdom of allowing him to
try it?
All along the Pacific coast there has
always existed a very general impress
sion that Taft was a strong man-and
most amiablet and adaptable person.
atty. The republicans of the coast
have not been alone in believing that
this was true-a great many demo-
Gratis have volunteered membership in
the same school of belief.
Yet when both read continually of
the guard placed upon Taft's utter
ances, and the censorship upon not
alone Tafts speeches, but Taft's very
attitudes in his own campaign, neither
one nor the other can help having some
doubts as to the ability of the man and
his capacity for being trusted with the
great office of president of the United
States.
The voters of the Pacific coast would
like to see Taft turned loose to run
upon his merits. They have admired
him-and liked him-and have ap-
proved of his work-and they are dis
appointed that he is allowing himself to
be placed in the position of an over
grown boy who has to be watched all
the time.

ALL Everything concerned in the en-
tertainment is as near authenticity as
human ingenuity and the unrestricted
expenditure of money can make 1t.
Historic in it's origin, Buffalo Bits
Wild West has always maintained its
established record for genuincness in
all things.
1t will therefore be interesting to the
lovers of horseflesh in all varieties to
learn that there will be display of

city The art of broncho busting has
engaged the most daring members or
the cowboy fraternity since the days
when cowboys were first an established
necessity in some features of western
development. 1t is a most dangerous

"Comino Through the Rye"

unusual attraction at the keylor

two performances, matinee at z:aV p
M: evening at SIS, when the big mu-
steal comedy success Coming Thro

here. 1t is discussed in circles where
amusement events are talked ABOUT
and it would seem that everybody VINO
enjoys the best in stage performances
has arranged to be present There is no
doubt whatever that this entertainment
entirely justifies all the interest tnat
has been aroused concerning 1t. 1t Will
be given by a great company Of 70 peo-
pie. of whom a dozen or more are
widely known comedians and vOcalists,
and with a chorus and ballet of about
go, made up principally of the very
best chorus girls and the most grace
full dancers that have ever been as
sembled in one organization. The
scenery and costume are described as
massive and beautiful and the whole
affair is said to be exceedingly fine. 1t
is not often that emphatic assertions
may be made in advance regarding
theatrical offerings, but in this instance
there is no reservation, as to the high
character of the production, necessary.
Coming Thro the Rye is one of the
distinguished successes of the times

that we are to have the great produce

GETTING SCARED.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer,w which
is tickled because Jones was endorsed,
bue sore because Mead lost, already
sees some breakers ahead as a result
of the primary election. and admits
that it is just trifle alarmed lest the
republican party be turned out of
power.
In its issue yesterday, it printed the
following editorial warning:
Not the least important feature OF
the primary election in this state was

means of making party nominations

run, for only then can he be said to be
in any measure under control. The
horse uses all methods to dislodge his
rider and if he succeeds, he is always
thereafter far more difficult to control
than though he had never felt sad
sic. Once he is subdued however. the
danger Of his becoming unmanageable
is minimized and he is a useful member
of horsedom.
In Buffalo Bills exhibitions there are
employed no theatrical device of
training to impel the bronchos to buck.

Fire Plugs
Need Attention

1t becomes our duty to re-
mind those in charge of the fire
apparatus that the fire plugs
about town need attention i'm
mediately. One fire plug on
Panaca Flat is always open, and
is being used by residents in the
vicinity to secure their water
supply; the only means they
have to draw water from the
main pipe, but this should be
used for nothing but fire. FaciI-
tiles for the present users of
this plug should be supplied by
the water company with a small
pipe at some other point.
While no compensation is at
tached to the officers of the fire
