Half-Baked Reform.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The idea of choosing candidates for
United States senator by popular vote
has already developed various practical
difficulties. To judge from the hubbub
stirred up in Wisconsin. it has quite
failed as a means Of eliminating the
barrel from senatorial elections. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Stephenson's opponents,
primaries as well as legislatures can be
bought. Only they cost more. This is a
questionable reform. AS the idea has
taken shape in Maryland. it appears to
make barrel more essential than before.
Under the old plan, by which party
candidate for the Senate was designated
by the caucus. the nomination did not
necessarily cost anything. At least a
poor man could get his name presented
IL he had even one member in his favor.
Under the new law adopted in Maryland,
only a rrcn man can be candidate for
the Senate, since the candidates have to
pay the expenses of the primary elections
themselves.

Every officer of the Army, Navy and

test of miltary-naval professional fitness

as an incentive to regular physical ex-
ercise. The more one hears of the whole
system the greater is the conviction of
the wisdom of modifying the require
ments imposed by Mr.. Roosevelt in the
way of annual riding and walking tests.
The practice is veritable nuisance, very
far from accomplishing anything of value
to individuals and much less to the serv-
ice: more than that, 1t has done harm
and will do more, SO long as it remains In
vogue. 1t imposes an altogether artif-

Dahlman and Bryan.

Honors are easy-or should be-between
Mayor Dahlman and Mr.. Bryan. The
former wanted the gubernatorial nomina-
tion of the party last year, but failed to
get it because of the refusal OF the latter
to support him. Mr.. Dahlman has now
been reelected mayor of Omaha without
Mr. Bryan's assistance. The temperance
issue entered into the mayoralty cam
paign. and Mr.. Dahlman stood for what
is called liberal Interpretation of tenn
perance laws and regulations. Mr..
Bryan is rated as strict constructionist.
Where is MIR. Dahlman likely to land In

mons and the Marshalls are embattled

Dramatic Morality.

Now for a long line of edifying court
proceedings in New York city regarding
the morality and the wholesomeness OF
the plays produced on the metropolitan
stage Gov Hughes yesterday signed
bill recently enacted by the Legislature
declaring it to be a misdemeanor to ad-
vertise, present or participate in any i'm
moral or impure drama play or ex-
hibiticn (which would tend to the cor
ruption of the morals of youth or others"
1t is left to the courts to ascertain wheth-
er particular performance or production
falls within the definition and to lay
down rules and standards of purity and
morality beyond which managers and
actors must not pass. The initiative may
be taken by any citizen with the nerve 10
swear out a warrant, and it Is easy to
foresee that there will be no loss of time
in the institution of proceedings Nor IS
it difficult to believe that In some cases
managers will be willing to hale them
selves to court, under cover of proxies,
for the sake of the incidental advertising.
And there may be evolved new skill In
playwriting, to cure defects pointed out
by the court so as to render an obnoxious
situation or speech or plot innocuous
enough to pass muster and yet wicked
enough to draw full houses. The adver-
tising possibilities of the new law, In
short, are infinite.
But it is nevertheless to be hoped that
this innovation of legislative enactment
will have good effect. OF late years the
stage has run to putridity unlimited. Iales
have been told of shocking nature, SIT
uations developed so suggestive as 10
cause innocent auditors to feel ashamed.
The broadest illusions have been made
with perfect freedom. And in the main
to no good purpose. Occasionally a play
may have been produced which has Justi-
fed itself as a powerful moral lesson de-
spite or possibly because of the challenge
to the finer sensibilities. But the aver
age theatrical manager has cared moth
ing for the play as a missionary agent
and everything for its drawing powers.
His chief ambition has been to get his
production discussed. if possible denounc-
ed by ministers as improper, and he has
then rested content. with the assurance
that his box office would be besieged with
ticket seekers as soon as the word spread
that the performance was in any degree
naughty.
1T Will De III Tie lltcfcSl VI tliO pooPiS
If the new law in New York state is
utilized sensibly and carefully, not sensa-
tionallys II the managers are In earnest
in their proclaimed determination to I'M
prove the morals of the stage there will
be little need to apply the statute. But
reliance cannot be placed in any or
ganizaticn representing the f1rst-class
theaters. They may seek to establish
decent standard. and there will remain
scores of places where the vilest ex-
hibitions are given twice daily. The chief
difficulty is that there is no fixed scale
of morality and obviously the courts to
which the cases are carried under the
new section of the penal code will be hard
put to lay down definite lines of guild
ance.
