PUpPEr SHOWS !.
The Marionette Drama Almost az Old
az tho World Itseif.

80 hno "oTio skeoU.
How few theater goers of the
present day realize that centuries
ago, when there were no actors or
actresses to argue with managers
as to the size of type their name
should appear in or what place on
the program they were to have, the
great amount of amusement of the
people Of that day was derived from
the marionette drama. The ma
rionette theater was the only place
where one could hear or see q play.
The artists were the puppets; and
their ability lay in the deftness of
the thread puller, which was the
Sanskrit name of the stage man
ager, and yet some of those puppets
were as famous in their day as our
we'll known stars of today.
A peep into the origin Of this
form of drama shows that it is al
most as old as the world itself
The word marionette is derived
from morio, meaning fool, or from
Marion, the man who divorced
marionettes from the church plays
and used them for small comedy
plays in Paris, where today they
are popular in several manillin the
aters.
The word fantoccini is italian
for marionettes, being derived from
fantimo, meaning child, and the
word peppet comes from poupee,
baby or doll. Marioncttes are of
high antiquity, because figures with
movable limbs have been found in
the tombs of Egypt and in the ruins
of Etruria. They were common
among the Greeks and from them
were imported to Rome. Mario
nettc plays are now popular in Chi
ma and India and for many ccntu-
ries maintained an important place
among the European countries.
Goethe and Lcssing mention
them, and as late as 1921 La Sage
wrote plays for puppets to per
form. Don QuiXotc wrote "the GU
rious puppct show which represents
the play of Mclissandra and Don
Geyferos,' one of the best shows
that have been acted in time out of
mind in this kingdom"
Greece, Rome and Egypt had
their marioncttcs centuries ago, and
the historian Hcrodotus mentions
them. Prethernos Of Athens was
given the very stage in Athens on
which the dramas of Euripides were
enacted for his puppets by the
Archons of Athens. Today they
are favorite amusement in Java,
the land of coffee, the Javanese
marionette being moved by long,
slender sticks from behind fence,
and the figures of wood and leather
are taken as highly serious by the
spectators, some of them portraying
divinities in religious themes

Madison. Wis, Jan. 6.-Today Sena-
tor La Toilette at the opening OF the
new year fires the first gun in the con-
test to give the people the right to elect
delegates to the national convention OF
1912 by direct vote. In this weeks Is
sue of La Fol!ette's Magazine. the sena-
tor declares that Wall street has al
ready selected the presidential candi-
Gates OF both parties. There Is just
time to defeat the Wall street plan. Let
the people organize and demand Of ev-
cry legislature the enactment of pri-
mary law for the election CT delegates

ITO Wisconsin belongs the honor OF
enacting the first primary law for the
election of delegates for the national
convention by direct vote of the peo-
ple." saws Senator La Toilette. "The
Wisconsin delegates to the republican
rational convention of 1908 were elect
ed under that law. They stood In that
convention. little band Of fearless
men fighting to the last ditch for plat
form pledges vital to the public interest.
Their contest In the Chicago conven-
ton fixed the attention Of the country
and forced the candidate nominated for
president to broaden the platform by
declarations in his speech OF accept
ance in favor Of several OF the import
ant Wisconsin propositions which the
convention had impatiently rejected.
Lesson 10 Obvious.
"The lesson is obvious. Every state
In the Union should adopt a primary
law providing for the election OF dele
gates to the national conventions OF
1912 by direct vote OF the people. With
such a law in each state. the delegates
will be chosen by the voters instead OF
by machine managers, and the nation
al platforms Of both political parties
will represent the interests OF the peo-
pie rather than the interests OF the
system.
and every state should take an
other advance step. Oregon has Just
pointed the way. Under the initiative.
the people Of that state voted for and
adopted a law a. the state election In
November. providing not only for the
election Of delegates to national con-
ventions. but also providing that each
voter shall at the April primary in 1912
have the opportunity OF expressing his
choice for president and vice president.
Wall street has already selected the
presidential candidates Of both politi-
cal parties. There is Just time to de-
feat the Wall street plan. Let the peo-
pie organize and demand of every leg
