Three Of the Best.

Dramatic critics on the coast have
often commented on the fact that big
eastern successes do not reach the
coast cities until they have become
worn out in the east and have had two
or three road tours east of the Missis-

The cost of sending the Askin- Singer
attractions The Time, The Place and
the Girl THE Girl Question" and "A
Stubborn Cinderella" the three big
musical comedies to the coast, will
give an adequate idea of why some
of the most sanguinel managers hesitate
before booking a big company for a
western tour
The expenditure for the production
of these three musical comedies
amounts to over $4,000. The fare per
capita for the round trip of $3.50, 900 or
100000 for the three attractions.
Three 70-foot baggage cars are re-

obviously, the proposal to Suaran-
tee bank deposits has appealed pow
erfully to the masses of the people,
says the Pacific Farmer. Not only
is there acceptance of the proposal
but an actual demand that it be car

of federal legislation. This demand

urban and suburban localities. from
Workingmen, from farmers in fact
from all classes. In some quarters
objections are heard and the matter
seems to have become the chief. or al
least chief issue of the present cam
palgn. One of the convincing argu-
mentS in favor of the guarantee of
deposits may be offered in presenting
the method whereby insurance both

Bank guarantee of deposits is merely

may be secure. Someone pertinent
ly has remarked that, if it be tenable
to oppose deposits guarantee on the
score that it would induce bad bank
ing, equally should one oppose fire
insurance because it might induce
arson, and life insurance, because it
might induce suicide.
Farmers generally are now among
the greatest patrons of the banks.

jumps are made; one can readily un-
derstand why the manager of big
company prefers to remain in the east
where the jumps are short and the
attraction is well known than to risk
the chances Of a coast tour.
The intrepid young managers, Askin
and Singer have great confidence in
the business of the Pacific slope and
the northwest, stimulated by the enor-
nous business done by 1.-The Time, the
place. and the Girl company last sea-
son. They have booked three of their
biggest musical comedies for long tours

cities beyond the Rockies.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

Word now comes from the coast
that Henry Mcbride, who received
the greatest number of first choice
votes for the republican nomination
for governor, but who was defeated
for the nomination by the larger
number of second choice votes cast
for Samuel G. Cosgrove. is preparing
to institute legal proceedings to nave
himself declared the republican NOM
inee, and in this way expects TO have
the second choice feature Of the prl-
mary election law declared uhcoilSti-
tutional.
Recently Judge William II. White,
one of the unsuccessful candidates
for the non-p partisan endorsement for
the superior bench of King county,
gave out for publication learned
legal opinion. in which he showed. to
the satisfaction of the lay mind at
least, that the direct primary law,
in many essential features. was I'M
constitutional Judge White also
threatened to attack the law in the
courts with the idea of having it de-
clared unconstitutional in it's entirety.
In the columns of The Statesman
today there is printed story show
ing that the mandatory provisions of
the law with reference to first and
second choice votes were not COM
piled with, as the total number of
first choice votes for each office does
not tally with the total number of
second choice votes, which would be
the case had the plain provisions of
the law been complied with by voters
and election officials.
1t would appear, therefore, that
there is strong probability of the
courts being called upon to pass upon
the law under which candidates for
office were nominated last week, and
that there is at least possibility of
success crowning the efforts of those
who would have the law declared I'M
1t is indeed unfortunate that such q
test should be made at this time, and
doubly unfortunate that it should be
made by defeated candidates. 1t will
take time to determine the cases
to be brought, and the men who bring
them will be under the suspicion of
being guided by improper motives
1t would seem that If Mr. Mcbride and
Judge White really cared to test the
law, they should have done so before
they were put in their present awk-
ward position. Since they have both
sought to take advantage of the law,
it would seem that they are officially,
if not legally, bound to abide by the
statute, even though it may be de-
fective.

UNCLE JOE'S" HOLLER.

A long time ago, a grocery store
philosopher remarked that when you
threw rock into a bunch of CANNES
YOU could easily tell which one was
hit. If this also applies to bunch of
politicians one is justified in conclud-
ing that Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker
of the house and boss of America, has
been jolted by some of the rhetorical
stones which have been SHE'D in his
direction.
The other day Cannon made a speech
1t wasn't of the by God, I'm it," va
riety Mr.. Cannon usually makes when
he is called upon to discuss public
questions. 1t was distinctly a "holler."
Referring to Stand-paCtism. Cannon
says that he is not entitled to all OF
the blame. He says that two years
ago Congressman Campbell of Kansas,
and himStlf had a conference with
President Roosevelt, and thal the lat
ter gentleman insisted that then was
no time to bring on a tariff fight in
congress-" Although he does not ex-
actly say SO. Cannon intimaGes that he
took this tip and STAYED off, the pro-
posed tariff tight, and then iamentS
that the general storm of disapproval
brought down by this action was a.
rected solely at him. If we properly
analyZe Mr.. Cannon's remarks the
chief blame for the inaction of the
last congress should be laid to the
chief conspirator. the president him
self. rather than 10 the man who merel =
carried out the presidents wishes.
Before the campaign is much older,
il looks as ii Cannon will be initiated
into the Ananias club, with privileges
of full membership, since it is doubtful

the blame for the delay in tariff re-
vision at this particular time when he

Reception Last Niaht,
The reception given last evening by
the local divisions of the A. o. H. and
Auxiliary to the visiting delegates of
the state convention, was a brilliant
success. The hall was tastefully deorat-

rendered by several local artists
About $50 of the delegates We're pres

the evidences of loyal hospitality
manifested by the local divisions. The

the occasion and was given an ovation

Curiosity About "The CIansm an"

1t is easy to understand the general
curiosity among theatergoers concern
ing the visit of 1.-THE Clansman" which
will be seen in this city at the Keylor
Grand on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd.
Ever since it's first performance over
three years ago this play has en-
crossed a good sized share of public at
tention 1t has been a serious subject
for elaboration in municipal bodies,
state legislature and courts of high
and low degree. Mayors of cities, gov
ernors Of states and even President
Roosevelt himself have been asked to
decide whether or not the play should
be presented These decisions have al
ways been overwhelmingly in favor Of
1.-The Clansman" with the single ex-
ception of Mayor Weaver of Philadel-
phia Penn, who stopped the produc-
ton and his own political career at the
same time. Inquiries at the box office
will indicate capacity when 1.-The
