The Great Comedy Hit "seven Days"
In Seven Days" part of the rio
tous fun comes from the allotment of
Homework to dinner party OF fash
ionable folk who are Quarantined in a
Riverside Drive house. The servants
have fled and so the runnings Of the
house falls upon men and woman who
never had 1t to do and know nothing
about it, They draw lots to see who
shall be butler, cook, laundress, lady's
maid and so on. A girl who has never
cooked anything but fudge. wins
the breakfasts, and policeman draws
the lady's maid slip. But the fun and
laughter have started long before
this. Seven Days" jumps into hilar-
ious laughter at the first minute. 1t is
useless to attempt to describe it, The
job was too big for Charming o'clock,
and everybody knows he's something
of writer. He confessed his short
comings in the Green Baak Magazine.

LEROY PERCY'S DECISION.

Hon. Leroy Percy, of Green
wife, Miss, Junior Senator from
this State who was selected to
succeed the late lamented McLau
rim eighteen months ago, annOuna
ed that III the people would not
endorse his selection at the polls
that he would resign the office
and return it to the sovereign
voters of the state. The results OF
the election the past week show
beyond doubt that the people
repudiated the manner and me-
thods employed in Mr. Percy s
election, and he has issued card
in which he states that upon the
converting of the next Legisla-
ture that he will resign the of
flee and return the commission tt
the people.
Mr.. Percy's decision is what
was expected. All who know
the man were prepared for de-
monument of the present. contest.
Mr. Percy has made good his
promise and the Legislature, of
which will convene next JAN
uar.'. will select his successor.
Percy s decision is TO put the
election of his successor off I'M
til the Legislature meets in next
year is wise one, and will re-
move the selection of his success
or from the hands of Governor
Noel. who. no doubt would fill
the office with some man who
would again be the laughing
stock OF the nation
The selection of his successor
IN the next Legislature makes II
imperative that none but Var
daman men should be. selected
In the few remaining contests
which are to be run off in this
State. While the person mel of
that body is already largely IN
his favor, yet there are . num-
Der of Legislators to be elected
yet, and none but who are fav-
drably to the choice of the peO-
pie of the State should be select
ed. We want no more secret eau
