come out fer the Presidential pri-
mary. The movement in Iowa has taken
on such proportions that it probably
cannot be resisted successfully. If the
Republicans arrange such primary
the Democrats cannot well avoid one.
Five States have legalized the Presi-
dential primary, State committees will
provide for it in number of the
Southern States, and the movement Is
getting such hold in North and West
that it viii inevitably have profound
effect on the next Republican and
Democratic conventions.
If there is TIE anti-Taft sentiment
which the progressive Republicans of
the country allege, that sentiment will
develop itself at these primaries. II
President Taft is gaining strength at
the rate his political heutenants in
sist he is, that also will develop.
If the progressive wing of the Demo
cratic party is as distrustful of Jud-
son Harmon because it thinks him
marked with the corporation brand, as
is freely alleged, that fact win be made
known, and if Woodrow Wilson or
Champ Clark stands first in the affec-
tions of the Democratic voters that
fact will likewise be made known.
Not a single sound argument can be
advanced against the Presidential
primary, against allowing the people
of the country to say who they want
nominated for the White House. But
the spread of this idea is, striking
blows at Federal and State political
machines that are bound to crush them
and leave them fit only for the scrap
heap of history. What is more re-
markable is the fact that in the
Presidential campaign of three years
ago the Presidential primary scarcely
got serious mention. Progressivism is
making progress.

RELIGION AND SOCIALISM
NEED NOT CONFLICT
70 the Editor o. THE TIMES:

To the Editor D; THE TIMES:
Few days ago some one stated. in the
Mail Bag, that socialists are against
the church. / wish to state that true
Socialists cannot be against any church
II the church retains her place.
The church of the present day Is
comparatively an old fellow who at the
declining age looks at youth and thinks
that youth is against him. But who
does not reflect that there Is a su-
preme power. that replaces. If the Old
fellows complaint is absorbed, the youth
will continue his course regardless Of
the old fellow, and time will give the
results. But II the old fellow comes In
the way and attempts to stop the
youths course, he Cthe YOUTH not only
shows his opposition but aims to clear
him out of the way.
So II the church Is against SOCIALISM
Socialism Is against the churcn, ana
more, II will give mortal blows-not oy
means of bombs, but by education,
Any sociable person can be SociaEst.
It does not matter whether he be1eyes
in the teaching of Christianity, Budd-
hism, Mohammedanism, Bahaism, and
all kinds of 'isms' or whether ne Is
an atheist.
A wise man said: There is a religion
for averv brain" Respectfully,

Miss Bingham Gives
Fine Dramatic Scenes.
Other acts on Chase's bill this week
are well worth considering. Aside from
Miss Amelia Bingham's most original
and finished production which she has
named big Moments from Great
Plays" and in which she gives the most
dramatic scenes from "A Modern Lady
Godiva," La Tosca,' and Madame
Sans Gene" there are any number Of
novel acts.
Williams and Warner DO some marvel
lous musical tricks, one of the funniest
being a selection given on tho Water

From this absurd instrument the artist
manages to coax Love Me and the

tunes. They have a queer little box
like instrument which they nave named
the "Clacophone." their own invention.
Their act is novel one and pleases
the audiences.

a score OF years; his home was in
Nevada and his son was born in this
State. He had been a faithful serv-
ant and had shown wisdom by his
