Duluth Judge Finds Preference Law
in Appointments Void.
Judge DibeM of the Duluth district
court has declared unconstitutional the
state law which provides that old SOL

qualify for the situation.
The decision was in the suit Of AL

of deputy boiler inspector. He said
he was an expert on boilers and an
old soldier and claimed that Gov

mentioned generally do not.
 Now a very great deal of this Sun day work is absolutely indisp ensable. I would not be nderstood as wishing to abolish it. but I do want to make it clear how the Sunday laws have failed to meet the test in a comm err cial age. And I am wondering how long the church is going to remain vigor fer legisla ton that would pro- tect the Sabbath and got it. And then, because the times changed, the legislation failed. But after all ''the Sabbath was made for man." Man is the more important Will not the legislation that will protect man?
 A law requiring one day of rest in seven. regardless of which day 1t is, for all workmen-absolutely de- manding that one rest-day with no loopholes of necessity and charity industries necessarily continuous would add one-seventh to their work ing force, and let one-seventh of their force by rotation rest each day to employ a larger working force, and the industries not necessarily con- tinuous would close down on Sum- days. Thus the Sabbath would be better protected than it is now; thus men would be protected from the
 
 week in order to hold their jobs. A man who has one day of rest a week, whether of his own choice or by com- pulsion, is better worker, a better citizen, and better man than one who works every day, even if his rest-day is not Sunday.
 Various church organizations have declared against seven-day work; in Connecticut che .Congrega tionaI churches during the last session of the legislature tried to secure the passage of a bill providing for one day of rest in seven; but there is as yet no irresistible demand put for ward with the strength of a thousand clamoring churches in each state Yet this of all issues is the most natural one for the religious forces of the community to make commoncause over with the workers.
 Could the church do a more Chris tian thing than to put on it's fighting clothes again, as it did in colonial days, and get on the statute books of the states laws that will protect men from the debasing effects Of seven-da labor?

THE LESSON OF THE
 RICH JOY RIDERS AND
 MOTORMAN PETERSON

X party of joy riders. return ing home after drinking bout, came into collision with a trolley car. \ woman was killed. \ girl in her teens was injured for life.
 The automobile was driven by Yale students. They had been drinking, with the women. for hours. They were intoxicated at the moment of collision.
 The trolley car was driven by MOtorman Peterson. He was sob- CT, an honest wOrkingman. engaged in honest labor for his daily bread.
 An inquest was held before Coroner Wilson. It was a secret inquest. The students had veal thy parents. They were infiuent- ial. They were exonerated.
 AIotorman Peterson was charged with responsibility for the mishap that overlook the drunken party. He was lodged in jail. and for a long time could not get bail.
 Some months have elapsed since Motornan Peterson became the scapegoat for the drunken, but in- fuential. joy riders.
 the opinion of States Attorney Stiles Judson, that the evidence does not show that he is guilty.
 Coroner Wilson says that he no longer believes in secrecy in the conduct of public offices. Is he entitled to belief, especially since he is pledged to carry out policies approved by the Warner, King and Lavery combination?
 If any electOr thinks of voting for Coroner Wilson, let him think of the narrow escape of MotOrman Peterson. Let him ask what Coroner Wilson will probably do as mayor, when great wealth and privilege stand upon one side of a public question, and the plain people upon the other.

 "The honors go to 'Dinklespiefs s Christmas by George V. Hobart and produced by Joseph Hart. Seldom has the theatre rung with such genuine laughter as 1t did yesterday. Bern ard A. Reinold is MT. Dinklespiel. He is a round gentleman but comedian nevertheless.
 There are four other performers in the admirable little playlet and they manage to make every line and situ- ation tell.''

POII'S.

Tuesday night. election returns an- nOunced from stage.
 Order your seats early.
 Inspired by the great success of his famous ''Dinklespiel" character, Geo ". Hobart has woven delightful vaudeville sketch about the adven- lures of that comical but loveable old fellow, and this sketch, which is ac- claimed as one of the very best on the stage today, will be the headline attraction at Polls next week.
 'DinklespiePs Christmas as this little playlet is known, comes direct from a great success in New York city, as may be judged by the follow ing review in the New York Ameri- can:
 With but few exceptions all the performances at Hammerstein's Vic- toria theatre this week are headliners. The program is so adroitly arranged

 wished me to produce it. Then came another period of work without much reason to believe the play would prove great success. At the be- shining of it's first season however, it 1t and then, I took the comedy into New York and presented it at the Criterion theatre, for twenty-seven weeks, where it captured every record of that playhouse which had been previously made by some of the great est players on our stage Miss Edna Bruns, Francis Wilson's leading lady Tn his successful comedy, "The Bache- Tor Baby spent her summer abroad and she brings back the following in- c1dent which happened last summer the opportunity of witnessing a first performance The leading woman of the company was a very charming and delightful actress but it was with difficulty that she got her words clearly into the remote parts of the theatre. The curtain had fallen on the first act in which this actress had rattled along her speeches in a more than ordinarily indistinct fashion. An attendant had walked up one of the alsles in the stalls crying: opera glasses? opera glasses. please? opera glasses ?' Opera glasses be hanged" shouted man from the back of the pit. Bring us some ear trumpets." Miss Bruns says the staid English audience fairly yelled with delight and that it was by all events the most amusing contretemps she experienced during her trip.

THE NEwLYwEDs AND

THEIR BABY"
 Many theatregoers will recall the great success made here a few years ago by musical comedy called .tCom- in Through the Rye" Just why, no one could say. Little was known about it, yet a desire to see it seemed to become contagious. It impressed people as being good, and the per- formance lived up to expectations Packed houses were the rule through out New England. On return dates every ticket was sold in a few hours. That was several years ago. The theory of cycles in things theatrical as we'll as in the history of nations seems to be borne out by the success of a new candidate for box office hon. ors bearing the unique title of ''The Newlyweds and Their Baby" It's his- tory parallels that of "Comin' Through the Rye" Originally produced in New York, 1t ran for several months. It was taken on the road and drew packed houses right from the start. People turned away almost nightly, Exactly the case with ''The Newly Weds. In a comparatively short time, it has made a fortune-that is, theatrical fortune for it's owners. This is the first venture into New England and so far it has hit the bulls eye. It is an excellent enter- tainment, novel in plot line Of characters new to the stage. In fact a distinct departure from anything yet offered in the musical comedy line It's a big company-over 50 people. The Newlyweds and their wonderful baby will be seen here at the Park next Friday and Saturday

THE PARK
THE MAN ON THE BOX

For tonight at the Park theatre the attraction will be '"The Man on the Box" one of the most delightful com edy dramas ever offered to the public. The play has been dramatized by Grace Livingston Furniss from liar old McGrath's famous novel of the same name and it tells bright whole some tale which scintillates and spar kles from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Nearly everybody has read
 the novel and will readily remember how the mischief-loving young Lieu- tenant Robert Worburton on the night of Washington's greatest ball. to play a practical joke, on his sister. disguises himself as her coachman, intending to drive her and her chum home at a law-defying speed rate. snatch a kiss from his sister and vanish before she could find out the trick. Everything ants scheme, but, by a mistake in carriage signals, he mounts the box of the wrong carriage, and ignorant of the change, drives away at a reck- less speed. He gets his kiss, howeve.. from a strange girl, Betty Annesley, a ColonePs daughter, and is afterwards arrested. locked up on the charge of fast driving and disord derly conduct and is heavily fined the next morning. It would be a shame to tell any more Of the plot of this delightful play; it must be seen to be appreciated. The principal role of Lieut.. Robert Wor- burton was created by that excellent American actor, Mir Henry E. Dixey, and in it he scored one of his great est successes. The piece had an un- usually long run on Broadway and af- terwards toured most successfully for three years in all of the larger cities.

Wilson recently said: "All I can say about success is that it comes like a change in the weather, when one least expects it. All the time I was playing the principal comedy roles in the musical plays with which I have been associated I was fully re- solved some day to try legitimate com- edy. At that time, it semed almost impossible that I should ever get a chance to- break away from the buf- foonery of those roles; it seemed like flying in the face of Providence to give up what was certain for that which was not But I kept on work ing, trying to make myself a better actor, and suddenly and most unex- pectedly the chance came. My next ambition was to become a playwright. I wrote a number of plays, and mo- body seemed to want them. My ambi- ton to succeed in this line seemed even farther away than the success in straight comedy. But kept on work ing and working and finally I turned
