which political old women were accustomed to
brighten children long ago.
SURPRISING THE COLONEL
Not less amusing is the apparent effort of the
reactlonary press-the Examiner, Chronicle and
Los Angeles Tines-to ignore or suppress Roose-
velt. The other day when the colonel turned loose
on the insurgent side declaring himself in favor Of
the direct primary and all the pet denominations Of
the old crowd. these papers either suppressed the
news altogether, like the Examiner, or did their
utmost to conceal its Importance until the effort
became ridiculous, the Los Angeles Express
pointed out in this wise

In retaliation for the Josh in the Express about
the Times headlines, Otis quotes the coloneIs
remarks about rebates always a sore subject with
the owner OF the Express and adds:

qualification to them to see hoary old jackdaw

tics in California is Meyer Lissner of Los Angeles

beat them at their game. He is the driving
wheel of the Lincoln-Roosevet league, past master
OF political organization, slow moving secretive
inexorabe the grave-the ireless cooker of
politics.
LOOK OUT FOR FLOPS
Do you realize that the republican platform virtu-
ally reads out of the party the San Francisco Chron-
ic1e and the Los Angeles Times? There is not one
plank in that instrument which has not time and
again been roundly denounced in these amusing
journals of civilization. Must we prepare ourselves
for another shock like that which hit us when the
Chronicle effected its famous double sonersault on
the silver question in 1896? That was a very painful

becomes OF Jake Steppacher, for example? Old
neWspapermen have always regarded Jake fix

usually meant to mislead-at headquarters and he
must give way to some other gay deceiver. am

the old crowd. They had good manners That's

Mr.. HEARST ON HIS KNEES

Not less amusing is the attitude Of abasement
assumed by the Examiner on its knees before Theo-
dore Bell Mr. Bell has many admirable qualities,
but the Examiner does not think so-not low down
and never spared to say as much in the not very
distant past But Hearst is on his knees begging
to be taken back into the democratic party, like
the prodgal son. and if they don't offer him veal
he can at least eat his words.
Not less remarkable is the virtual agreement of
the two platforms on all state issues If the repub-
lcan platform is "pbpulist and socialist the demo
cratic declarations Of policy strive to outdo their
competitors in the same vein. There is no place
Of refuge for the reactonares unless peradventure,
like Grove Johnson, they join the prohibitionists.
VOTE OR GO AFISHING-WHICH?
Conceding that both candidates are good men and
true and seeing that the two parties are virtually
agreed as to all matters Of state concern there is
therefore no reason. why anybody should take the
troEblet vote The country is safe in either event
So much virtue lies ii the direct primary. It is
safety appliance.
I put this dilemma to old line democrat the
other day and he told me I was all wrong.
Consider he said ''the significance of the stand
taken by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Post
by the Los Angeles Times and the gutter weeklies
Of this city. Every one Of them is getting ready
to knife Johnson That is the program They are
out to punish a man who dares to be a reformer in
the dominant party and make an example Of him
for future use as lesson for any Of the others who
might have the temerty to get off the reservation.
What they want is to give lesson to the insurgents
who really dangerous to machine domination.
That is the reason why ], as an oldtime democrat,
am going to vote for Johnson I don't dispute the
sincerity and honesty of Bell, but the democratic
party has lost its vitality national force. The
hope Of the country lies in insurgency
MARTYRS ARE SCARCE
It is anything to beat Johnson, and yet, if you
happen TO be reactionary your lot. is not happy.
Immediately following the primary despairing cry
went up for an independent candidate as the only
plan to beat Johnson But apparently the stuff OF
which martyrs are made is not plentiful in the
reactionary camp. In their hour OF agony they
called on Henry T Gage to save them but it is far

forget the public insult that Gage put upon him at

The tribunes in ancient Rome repre-
sented the people In much the same
way that the house Of commons does
In England and the house OF repre-
sentatives in this country. For long
time the patrieians or aristocrats of
Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians Tor. as we
would say, the plain people') got their
tribune the reckless tyranny OF the
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power. He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law
passed by the Romans. Liberty among
the Romans dates from the time they

LONDON THEATERS.
They Charge From q Penny to Six
pence For q Bill Of tho Play.

At the London theaters when the
young woman shows you to n seat she
asks II you wish a program. II you
do you pay sixpence in the orchestra
or dress circle for q program hand
somely printed on fine paper. The
price ranges down through "thrip-
pence" and "tuppence" as the CALLER
les ascend TO penny I'm the cockloft-
The quality Of paper and the general
artistic merit of the program decline
with the price, but exactly the same
information is conveyed for a penny
as for sixpence. The fastidious thea
ter goer might prefer to pay a dime for
a neat and simple program rather than
to have a bulky bunch Of advertise
ments gratis, as IN New York. but
these London programs. although not
so thick as those OF New York. are not
devoid Of advertisements. This gives
the purchaser the feeling that he is be-
ing worked at both ends. A lady re-
minds me. however. that n program in
a New York theater costs her 10 cents
as the smeary printing rubs Off on her
white gloves, the cleaning Of which
costs a dime.
The quality of the performance at
the better London theaters certainly
averages no higher than that at SINH
lar theaters in New York. The music
halls are the resort OF the great mid
die class. These are great auditori-
ums with tier on tier Of galleries. the
