CITY PRIMARY DATE SELECTED March B Day of Muni-
 cipal Contest. cIrYREGIsTRATIoN NOT NEEDED Executive Committee Outlines
 Rules of Contest. Party win Make List of E'isibie% In varions wards--Repert of sub
 CemBaittee sn Primary
 Pian Adopted.

The municipal primary will be held on Monday. March 23. This date was named at meeting of the Democratic Executive Committees held last night in the City Council Chamber, and 1t was selected in accordance with the wish for an early primary of nearly all the candidates for city officers.
 There will be no city registration. It has been found that under existing law, city registration is unnecessary. Under the law, any man, whether he has or has not been registered under city registration can vote in any pr.- mary election if he has paid his poll tax and has a life certificate. City registration, therefore. Is merely mat ter of choice with voter--he can reg ister or not as he chooses.
 Tn view of this. the committee abol- isfed the old city registration. which has been a feature of municipal elec- fions for many years, and which has become obsolete under the new eiec- tion laws.
 AS d substitute, special Scommittee was named last night to employ man to secure a correct list of the voters

ssThe Easterner.'s

Most interesting in novels, in stories of fiction and fact and in plays Is the element of human nature. Stated news editors seize upon it amidst great massb es of routine reports of crime, calam- ities. murders. fires. wars and rumors of wars. as hungry eyed miner grasps for the first glinting of the gold laden quartz. Human Interest," It is the element that has made more writ CTS famous than any one other. Vivid life pictures that touch the very nature of the multitudes. It Is on this element that George Broadhurst has risked the success of his latest piece, "The East erner.' It was seen at The Grand last night by an appreclatiye audience. It was artisticallyi presented by Nat Goodwin and his company of players.
 It is the second of MT. Broadhurst's attempts at comedy drama. He has achieved much in this attempt It Is buiided carefully. 1l starts slowly, te- diousiy, almost. It lays foundation of fact on which is built the monument of belief in fellow man, of the pre- valence of truth and justice. Compact ly woven into the plot are varied ele- ments of love. pathos, comedy, tragedy and human interest.
 There is no stage trickery enlisted to accelerate the action, which comes fast enough after the first ten minutes. The story opens with the aftermath of Q wedding. The groom learns of the wrong that has been done his wife before he married her. seeks her be- trayer and in a fight is killed. To shield herself the bride dare not be- tray the murderer, but allows her sis- ter,s sweetheart to be suspected.
 The father of the bride is the Sheriff, but he resigns and John Warden, dep uty (Nat Goodwin takes up the reins of office. The suspected boy is the long lost brother of Grace Morton (Miss Goodrich ) The real murderer fixes the crime upon young Morton, but the firm behef of the acting Sheriff. and his clever bit of detective work fixes the crime rightly and all turns out well.
 Mir. Goodwin has been seen in more difilcult roles, but few more sympa- thetic ones. He was admirably cast as the deputy sheriff. Miss Goodrich was very attractive and altogether pleasing in her support of Mir. Good. win. Henry Bergman, as Pedro Sam chez. and Lucille Leverne as Minerva Ringler, were. perhaps. most appreci- ated from a truly artistic standpoint. Neil O'Brion as Ike Robbins. was 6 trifie out of his element as the Sheriff. Diva Marolda as Janet Robbins. was dainty and thoroughly competent

raised by section IL may be expended.
We are of opinion that under section
z Of Article. IL the appOvtiOnment and
distribution of the State SeAo Fund
therein authorized 10 be mad law,
cOntemplates only an appo ment
and distribution upon the bust coun-
ties as units Of such apportioI thent and
distribution, and not upon the basis OF
particular schools, as such units. This
section expressly says that such fund,
which includes all the sources of that
fund, shall be appOrtioned and distrib-
uted for the support and maintenance
of public free schools among the several
counties Of the State in proportion to
the average attendance upon schools in
the said counties respectively. The
first section of the act Of 1905, Chapter
1881, plainly ignores the provision of
the constitution and undertakes to make
certain schools in the State with an
average daily attendance of 80 per cent
the beneficiaries of the act, whereas
the constitution cOntemplates that the
respectively shall be the recip-
tents of the fund. For this reason we
think that Chapter 1881 of the laws of
1906 is clearly unconstitutional
We deem it proper also to say, with
out meaning to express a positive opin-
ion, we have serious doubt whether
under the constitution the legislature
has authority to distribute the General

Sentiment Greatly Improved by Issue
 of R0ilrOad Bonds.
 New York May 1.-R. c. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say: z
 Sentiment was greatly improved In financial circles by the. successful is- curities attaining the highest position since last October,--but mercantile and industrial conditions were not changed. The outlook for the steel business railways could borrow money for need ed work and the good prospects on the crops promises well for the futures in all branches of business.
 So far as current conditions are con- cerned. however, reports indicate a small volume of trade and only fair collections. Nominally there is no change in quotations of Iron and steel. but pressure to dispose of accumulated stocks in furnace yards has produced several sales of pig iron at substantial concessions Prices of finished steel are usuaily maintained, although the opinion is expressed In many quarters that concessions would bring out much needed business.
 Thus far. there. is practically no in- crease in the average capacity of plants in this industry east of CEica- go, but at the west, conditions are bet ter. Tin plate mills continue to lead In point of activity, the leading pro- ducer reporting 90 per cent of capacity
 
 Although the tone is improving in the primary extile there is little busi- ness in the actual volume of business. Increased curtailment at cotton mills is strengthening tho statistical posi- tion and buyers begin to appreciate that deliveries may not be sfcnred as decided, but there Is suf1cients uncer- tainty regarding the Idle macfltnery to encourage procrastination

Many mills lhaNe been closed and the seasons output will be far be- low normal. Conditions are unchanged in underwear industry, wholesale houses ordering only for immediate needs and stipulating for quick deliv- cries. which are readily arranged.
