Voters should remember that all po-
litical parties are required to elect pre-
cinct committeeman in the various pre-
cincts of the county on primary day.
On the primary ballot appears blank
space for writing in the name of the
voter you desire to have serve as COM
mitteeman for your party. Later a
meeting of the precinct committeeman
is called, at which the county commit
tee is organized.
Those who believe in party organiza-
ton and party work should see to it
that individuals are elected to represent
their precincts in the various parties
who will take an interest in the work.

The peculiar part about the DOLL

On and Off the stage
(By George A. BENSON

Lewis Waller. the English actor.
who has been giving American the
%atergoers some notable productions
during the past two years. has some
pronounced views about the actor
manager. Mr.. Waller, in connection
with the Shuperts, is sending "A But
tertiy on the Wheel to this city. He
is very much of the opinion that the
actor-manager idea is he best. In
speaking on this subject recently. he
said:
The actor-manager may make mis-
takes. but they generally benefit the
public. He will surround himself with
the best actors he can get. paying
be Wy to the standard. He X great
pride in his work and his reputation.
On the other hand. some commercial
managers are disposed To get actors as
cheaply as possible. They an never
have the same feelings toward the
stage as the man who has spent his
life behind the scenes.
II do not like to be called a star
Here in America stars are made e
practically plays itself. The actor who
gets it makes a big hit and is straight
way a star. This is hard on both actor
and manager. Unless the actor Is an
exception. he has to have the same
kind Of a part for the rest OF his life.
The manager makes money out OF him
the first season, but ii the new star
gets dissatisfied and quits, the man
ager has to send the piece of h store
house. The public will not have h
play without the man who made h
hit. The actor who has served a long
apprenticeship in ali departments Is
we'll equipped to hold his place on top
OF the ladder"

ALWAYS LOOK FOR WOMAN
DETECTIVES FOLLOW OLD FRENCH ADAGE IN RUNNING DOWN

ter. But it is pretty generally a wom-
an who Is the innocent cause of the
undoing in the end. Now and then a
hunted man gets homesick for his old
surroundings and for the familiar
faces Of his friends. There is always
in the back Of his head the face Of
some woman. for whom he has a fancy,
although she may be no more than a
casual acquaintance. He ponders over
his lonely situation until at. last the
idea Of getting a glimpse Of his old
stamping ground becomes an obses-
sion. He goes back secretly. hunts up
the woman who has been so much in
his thoughts and usually pays for the
sight Of her face with his liberty.
The criminal who is never caught or
arrest the longest is the Lone
Wolf" who works alone and seems to
have no ties of affection. even of the
lowest sort. Detectives Of long ex-
perience say thai a man Of this sort,
who Is absolutely selfish and cold:

criminals are rare. Not one out of a

ten years for every one in England

record just compiled by the Spec

Talks With Men of
National Prominence
At Washington. D. q

Il have never seen so great a
change of. public sentiment in six
weeks as has taken place in Ohio
said Harry NJ. Daugherty. Ohio state
republican chairman. III this ratio
keeps up. President Taft will sweep
all before him next month. The
campaign being conducted by Colonel
Roosevelt shows that he has given up
the fight. in so far as the present
campaign is concerned. and is only
laying ground for his presidential as
pirations in 1915. He is going into
states where he and everybody else
knows he can never hope to get an
electoral vote.
1.-THE realization that he is out of
the fight has brought thousands Of
republicans in Ohio, who had planned
to vote for Wilson. fearing Roosevelt's
election. back to President Taft. 9th

remarked Representative Asbury e.
Lever Of South Carolina, referring to
h declaration hat Colonel Roose-
Welt would carry Tennessee and North
Carolina.
We'll. I would like t o make a bet
that the colonel's visit in the south
will not change ten votes. The south.
ern' people have a habit of being hos
pitable. and necessarily they extend
every courtesy to men SO eminent as
Roosevelt, but as for voting
for the bull moose candidate, that's
an entirely different proposition.
The south is for Wilson, and will
vote for the democratic nominee.
President Taft will get more votes
in the south than will Roosevelt, and
he will finish second in the race.
While ] believe that Wilson will get
a larger vote in the electoral college
any president has received since
Monroe. ! do not think. as Mr.. Bryan
prophesies. that he will carry every
state. The president will make a
good run. and I am sure will poll a
larger vote than Roosevelt.
The country has not yet gone so
wild that 1t will vote for socialism,
and R~ooseveltism leads to socialism.
I have frequently remarked that the
south will save the country. Southern
people are naturally conservatives:
they Will not support the ultraradical
propositions that seem to be sweeping
the northern n western states.
The democratic party, as repre-
sented by it's platform and candidates,
today occupies a middle ground be-
tween socialism and extreme radical

WHY ARE BOSSES.

There is not and cannot be any
question of letting the people rule"
in this land of manhood suffrage and
popular government. Who Is prevent
ing the people from ruling? Who
could prevent it? And how, since
there is no power in the country that
casting his ballot? The sovereign
American is the most absolute mon
arch on earth. He can make and UNI
make constitutions. he. can set UP and
dethrone governments, he can force
war or enforce peace. In fact. there
is nothing he cannot do if he does it
in orderly manner under the prov
sions and safeguards Of his funda-
mental laws.
The real issue is not of letting the
people rule, but to decide whether the
bosses shall rule. For there are bosses
in every party, men who have, sprung
to leadership and have misused their
power and position. But. under Amer
lean institutions. before a boss can
usurp power the sovereign people
must have abdicated it. And there
is the cruz Of the whole situation.
The indifference Of the people alone
makes bosses possible. When they
abandon politics to the professional
politicians. when they neglect or re-
fuse to exercise their rights to saw
Who shall govern them, they invite
,bossism, increased taxation, incom-
petent government and exploiting
policies. If the people fail to rule it
ts because they have themselves sur
rendered their power.
In the last presidential election
one-third of the voting population Of
the nation never went near the polls.
The stay-at-home citizens numbered
almost $4,000 more than those whose
votes elected Mr.. Taft.
Who kept those 1000, 900 voters in
the nation from ruling in 1908? It
IL the same almost generally. In the
presidential primary states this year
the vote cast was a mere fraction of
the total number of voters. So, too,
In the state primaries. as in New Jer-
sey n Massachusetts, recently.
Attorney General wickersham has
suggested that voting be made COM
pulsory. and the idea has been ap-
pAoSS0 A uACAPcCIcQ quarters. But
something more is needed than get
ting the voter to the polls. He should
have sufficient interest in what he is
voting on to weigh and analyze the
problem before him. the measures
and the men upon whom he Is to de-
eide. It will be of little avail to COM
pei voting unless the proportion Of
citizens who take apparently no inter.
est in how they are governed is re-
duced. They will be an element Of
danger rather than Of strength. What
is needed. and what is essential. is
that all citizens shall take an INTEL
ligent interest in public affairs at
least to the extent Of informing them
selves Of the issues presented to them
and then go to the polls and record
their opinion. Until that condition
is more generally realized. until the
people cease talking about their right
to rule. and do something with it,
the evils Of which they complain
will continue. No boss is possible
unless the people tolerate him. The
people have the right to rule today.
and it is for them to say whether
they will use it or let someone else
use 1t through their W default.
