the habit Of regarding her evening out

GOULD'S DEFEAT :.
 SHOWS ARNOLD WEAK IN FIRST

The lineup for Republican primar- ies will be disclosed tonight when the delegate tickets selected by the opposing factions must, under the rules of that party, be advertised in the official party organ. for the three days that precede the convention. There will be contesting delegations in almost every district. Mainly these delegations will attach to Republicans who desire to beat the Republican ma chine, and who are for Harbor Mas ter Charles H. Morris for mayor or to the Machine" and Mayor Lees candidacy. But several tickets will probably represent the Young Mems faction," and be favorable to Thomas Arnold, Jr. Arnold, apparently has no strength on the East Side. Nor has he shown the strength in the First District that he was presumed to have there. for his leader, Alderman Rob ert H. Gould, who participated in the regular caucus, last night, was beaten for place on the delegate ticket. Will liam E.. Seeley was chairman of the meeting. J. Harry Crossley, Malcolm McFayden, and Dr. c. Lincoln Banks were put into nomination. with Alder man Gould. The latter had the, least number of votes. But Arnold still has a chance to carry the Seventh, and the Fourth by his own strength and that of his friends, without regard ito an alliance with the "machine.''

TEACHERS ARE WANTED FOF

MURDER MYSTERY
 IS CLEARED UP
Canadian Confessed in London Today to
 Killing Ethel Kinrade in Hamilton
EASING HIS CONSCIENCE
Special from United Press.)

London. Oct. 12.-The mystery sur rounding the murder of Miss Ethel Kinrade in Hamilton, Ontario. Feb. 21, was cleared up to-day in the Bow street police court when a Canadian named Edward W. Bedfort confessed to shooting the girl.
 Bedfort says he was hired for $500 to kill Miss Kinrade, his employer be- ing an unknown man whom he met in Toronto. The two men went to Ham ilton and the stranger pointed out the house where Miss Kinrade lived. Bed fort says he summoned Ethel to the door and then shot her to death.
 The money was paid over and no questions were asked. Bedfort says he was in hard straits at the time and would have done anything for money. He fled to England and finally gave himself up he says. to ease his con- science. Bedfort told his story in a straightforward manner and the police are inclined to believe that he is tell ing the truth.
 Bedfort said the man who hired him to do the killing said that the Kfnrade girl had tilted him and he wanted to be revenged.

MRS. FISKE IN A PLAY OF THE SUMS
SALVATION NELL SEEMINGLY SERVES NO GOOD PURPOSE FINE ACTING ALONE SAVES TT.

FINE ACTING ALONE SAVES IT. Anything that God has permitted to happen, I am not too proud to print" said Charles A. Dana, once, when he had been reproached for some of the matter that appeared in the columns of The Sun. Dana's excuse in the only extenuation that can be offered for Salvation Nell,'' the realistic comedy in which Mrs. F'isl1e has now for some time starred. and which she presented to a large house. at Jackson's, last night. Providence, in it's inscrutable purpose, has permitted. and does per init, just such persons to exist. such sordid scenes to be enacted, as are portrayed in Salvation Nen.''
 Dives there are no doubt, and places unmentionable in decent society. and their habitants are such as Harrison Gray F1ske pictures in his play. But what good reason in this for placing them. unsavory, upon a stage frankly devoted to amusement. A toad is a fact, and so is a centipede. But drama of toads and centiredes is not therefore desirable. The play is lifted from the mud by the genius of Mrs. Fiske, and of her leading man. Hpl- brook Blinn. who gives a realistic inn personation of Jim Platt. drunkard. tough, thug. one living on the earnings of women. Nevertheless all their skill did not prevent a bad taste in the mouth of those who saw Salvation NeIl.''
 The evolutionists have figured it out that once man dragged woman with violence to his home. and made her, by force, his bride. These say that long centuries of this sort of custom and inheritance have left in women a more than faint trace of admiration for the brute and of desire to yield to he of the brawniest muscle and the hardest fist. How else shall the hard driven critic account for the mani fest satisfaction with which an audi ence composed of women of culture and training saw, the climax of the play. the implied reunion of the wom- an with this hopeless thug. tempor- arily touched with maudlin sentiment, to be sure. but never with real re- pentance
 So exact was the realism of MT. FiSke'S play that one having knowl- edge first hand of his types is certain that the penitent will beat his wife the first week. spend her money for drink in the second week. and shame lessly abandon her for some shameless companion in the third week.
 We hope that Mrs. Fiske will turn her genius to the presentation of nobler themes.

A GOOD MAN CALLED

Gov. John A. Johnson Of Min
nesota, has been called out of the
activities of mortal existance, hav-
ing passed away September II,
after a brave, but unsuccessful
fight with death. The departed
was a man In all the word implies
who from abject poverty had, by
his own unaided exertions, sterling
integrity and native ability acqulr-
ed social and political prominence
by genuine merit and worth; and
departs, mourned by all who ap-
preciate true manliness and real
excellence as man and citizen.
Although a democrat politically,
he was serving his third term as
governor of his state which is over
whelmingly republican, which dem
onstrated the confidence the elect
ors of Minnesota had In his ability
and honesty, for he was safe man
and could be trusted to do the right
thing because it was right.

THOUGHTS DY THE WAY

1t can be said to the credit of
Gov. Hughes of New York, that
he acts like man who does not
care whether he ever reaches the
White House or not, and, that he
does not propose to play politics to
advance his candidacy. t
1t is reported that a certain group
of islands in the Pacific ocean have
disappeared, been swallowed up by
the sea, but unfortunately they
were no part of our burdensome
costly insular possessions, so we
have gained nothing.
After having straddled for some
time on the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, the President tumbles upon
the side of the Especial interests"
and lauds the men who represent
those interests in congress and
gives the men who represent the
interests of the people a lambast-
ing. He evidently is unacquaint-
ed with the tariff sentiment in the
west and is taking the right course
to give the democrats control of the
next house of representatives.
There are thousands of republic
ans like the writer who believe in a
protective tariff, but not tariff SO
constructed as to make a few i'm
mensely rich at the expense of the
copsumers. The talk that high
protective tariff benefits the labor
ing class is delusive, for the special
interests pay no higher wage than
they are obliged too and the in
hux. of emigrants is continually
cutting that down by securing cheap
labor. 5s8t faaase .a
President Taft is taking a IS 900
mile circle at an expense of s25,-
900 to the taxpayers of the country
just to show himself the same as
a fat steer at county fair. There
is a large deficit in the federal
treasury and yet, the authorities
go on spending money lavishly and
talk of a bond issue in the near
future to cover the deficit. II is
about time that the people elected
men to office who had some idea of
economy in public expenditures.

A newspaper heading runs,
West Virginians are always ready
to take Office 1t is quite different
in Wisconsin. 1t is almost i'm
possible to persuade men to accept
office, there is such an aversion
upon the part of our citizens to
present themselves as candidates
for the support of the electors al

The Discrimination of such good
men as La Toilette, Cook, Nc

Morris, McGillivary and hundred
or more that might be mentioned,

for their services, is certainly to be

Wonders of Japanese Hamlet.

Perhaps the most astonishing presen-
tation of Hamlet ever seen on any
stage was japanese version given by
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe Her
aid describes it as "a wonderful mix
ture of the beautiful and the gro
tesque. With an Ophelia sometimes in
graceful kimono and sometimes in
western evening costume and king
who at one time appears in the pic
turesque costume of Il Japanese noble
man and at others dons a silk hat and
a swallowtail coat, the effect is so
Kaleidoscope that a spectator has the
sensation of being .perpetually trans
ferred from one phase of civilization
to another. The climax is reached in
Hamlet himself, who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform of a student
Of the Imperial university. III the third
act makes his appearance on a bicycle,
clad in a bright blue cycling suit and
striped stockings. and at the finish is
seen in conventional evening dress
with a flower in his buttonhole." '1itl
