hesitate to impose Il fine double the
amount that was imposed in this in

Amend the Primary Law,

AiuSN Orth Star-JOurnal: The pres
cnt primary law, while step in the
right direction, bringing the voter
little nearer to the power that nom
mates candidates-is sadly in need of
amending in several particulars and
especially in the matter of arranging
the names of the candidates on the
ballot. At first glance it would seem
that no man would take the trouble
to vote unless he had a preference.
But it seems that this presumption is
not good. Men will vote. whether
they have preference or not, and
experience has demonstrated that
great many will vote for the first name
they come to.
Take the instance of nominating a
candidate for state auditor at the late
Republican primaries. Silar r. Bar

he ran only 263 votes ahead of John

the people of Nebraska-a man who
made no canvass for the nomination,
and whose name is said to have been
put up in the first place simply as a

ATT He THEATER


The dramatiHed version of the
beautiful story of Parsifal was pre-
scented to Il large audience at the
Auditorium last night, and the play
left a deep imprint upon the people of
Norfolk who heard it,
The production was staged by an
excellent company, we'll balanced and
capable, and the scenic effects were
the most elaborate and most beauti-
full in detail ever seen in the city.
The story of the Holy Grail, not a
light one by any means, must have
sent every auditor home with ideals
uplifted. The beauty of the story, the
victory won by the strong, fine fellow,
Parsifal. over the evil temptation de-
liberately and maliCiously thrown into
his path, could scarcely do other than
arouse the purest sentiments of any
soul. And that this victory was APP.
pealing was indicated by the spontan-
eous applause given Parsifal when he
had won in the conflict.
1t was play from which any min
lister might take ideas for embodiment
in sermons II was a story which left
its lesson upon the mind and heart.
A religious play it was, and more
forceful than many a pulpit sermon,
1t was a play to arouse best thoughts
instead of the laugh, 1t was a beauti'
full story beautifully told in the Ian.
guage of the stage, a play different
from the average run, and one that
will remain in memory.

Norfolk Thursday to dissipatc the re-
ports that Dallas had been wiped off

Get busy he advised the CONNER
cial club officers, "aud fight the false
reports of the destruction of Dallas by
prairie fires with red fire advertising.
At o'clock Wednesday afternoon
Mr. Morphy was fighting fire with Il
wet gunny sack. A few hours after
with the Creighton band, he boarded
train to go down the line and with
music attract crowds and advertise the
fact that Dallas still existed.
The band played and Mr. Morphy
sang Thursday at Norfalk and the
Junction. Both the playing and sing
ing at the Junction were married by

Dallas on the afternoon train.

tional quality. But its remarkable
strain of singing out of doors. Never
but twice has Mr.. Morphy's voice
failed him-onCC in Arizona, where al
kali dust knocked him out, and at
Dallas where smoke from prairie fires
chokcd him.
Mr.. Morphy was born in Dublin
thrty-SiX years ago. His strong voice
attracted attention to him when a
youth He first sang to band accom-
paniment in Australia. and was
brought to America by Sells Brothers

He travelled with the Forepaugh Sells
show in 1901, 1902 and 1903, and was
engaged by the national Republican
committee during the Mckinley cam
paigns in 1896 and 1900. He sang at
gatherings addressed by such great
speakers as Mckinley and Ingersoll,
his songs being more effective and his
voice far more reaching than quar-.
tets.
Mr.. Morphy's father was one of the
lawyers engaged in the trial of the
Phoenix park murderers at Dublin i'll

At Norfolk Mr.. Morphy sang two
songs, THE Good Old L. S. A." and
