unfair one. But on being pressed was
forced to admit that on a certain oc-

side and his son upon the other.
Swift came the unanswerable retort:

The 7heQteTS
mis-. Nobody From stsr,.nd -


Miss Nobody From Starland" pi-
routed through two performances at
the Gennett Saturday. this being her
second appearance in this city.
This production is distinguished
from others of its class by a clever
and more or less amusing diversion in
the way of presentation of play
shows a stage behind the scenes
and the machinery in operation.
There is little to be said about the
whatever you call conelomerations
OF this sort-''musical entertainment"
this particular one is down on the
program, save that it is the usual thing
with good looking girls in the chorus,
some fairly good dancing. an assinine
story, baldheaded idiots doddering aft
er silly sirens. the inevitable lady with
the stiletto and others odds and ends.
The latter-impersonat by Miss
BERTHE Beaumont in the role of Nina,
an Italian Girl" proved herself-sup-
posedly herself-an unusually brilliant
dancer after the manner of her sister
of the ballet, with voice of engaging
quality.
Miss Olive Vail, evidently the Miss
Nobody, sang we'll enough although
rather off the key in her first solo
number, but failed to make an inn
preston on the audience, after a fash
ion.
Miss Vail was obsessed with the
idea-or seemed TO be-of her own i'm
portance and pulchritude. The latter
is erable-indeed Miss Vail is
a very pretty girl, on the order OF a
Nassar graduate-but when you're
"out with the show" it is as we'll, from
the point of view of the audience, to
not be too much the disdainful lady.
However, the affair was a pleasant
enough "evening's entertainment" as
these things go and some pretty girls
more so than usual in things that
come to Richmond-and as people &c
to the theater nowadays largely to
gaze at the feminine pedal extremity
what more do you want?

Bowino In 1880,

Bowling in 1880 was quite a cere-
mony. judging from the rules for do
ing it properly, given in the Atlantic:
III you bow to any one passing by
do it in this manner: Raise the right
hand to your hat gracefully.
Put your forefinger as far as the
crown and your thumb under the
brim, and then raise it from your head
gracefully and easily.
Look at the person you bow to. and
hold your body gently forward.
Hold your left arm straight down
at your side. neither drawing it for
ward or backward.
''Move the right leg. If the person
goes by on the right side. and keep
the other firm.
III the person goes by on the left
side move the left leg and keep the
right firm.
let your body be bowed moderate

AN ANGEL OF MERCY.

Clara Barton is at rest. An "angel of mercy"
she was called in divers tongues by thousands of
suffering souls. To them she was the kindly min
istering angel who comforted the wounded, nursed
the sick, fed the hungry, and clothed the naked.
To others she was an armed angel Of strife,
warring on war and seeking to civilize civilization.
She sought to allay the suffering of the Victims but
she sought also to cure the cause of suffering.
To all mankind she was marvel of energy and
industry and enthusiasm and administrative ability.
Vibrant with life and not appalled, by the limitations
of her sex or of conventions, she went where she
was needed, and did what was to be DONE
On Virginia battlefield, behind Partisan bar
rcade, in the wreck of flood, or amid the smoking
embers of conhagradon, Clara Barton was instant
with help for the needy. She knew not friend or
foe--all men were her brothers.
wonderful woman she was, and wonderful
life she lived Born in Massachusetts more than
ninety years ago (when James Monroe was Presi,
dent), the daughter of a soldier who had followed
Mad Anthony Wayne in the Revolution, she linked
in her being all generations of independent America
The first woman Government clerk, she repre-.
sented in her personality all the great social changes
that have marked the nineteenth and the twentieth
centuries.
The organizer of the American Red Cross, she
was pioneer in the movement to lessen the suffer
ngs of the individual by concentrating the charity
Of the community. ...r
AS an angel Of mercy she will be remembered ir
future generations for her good works. AS an ange
of strife she will be forgotten, for her hard work is
over. After more than four score years and ten
Clara Barton is at rest. .

MICHIGAN AND KENTUCKY.

North Dakota and Illinois held Presidential pref
erence primaries, kentucky and Michigan adhered to
the oldfashoned vicious system Of caucuses and con-
ventions
North Dakota and illinois had intense fights, cast
huge votes and turned in results that were so en-
phatc that caIl or contest was utterly impossible
Kentucky and Michigan held their conventions in
riot and tumult. Decency or proprety was the last
consideration in mind The future Of the party was
sacrificed to the instant purpose Of winning, by fair
means or foul-and fair means were utterly impos-
sble to the Administration forces.
Compare these two situations, and then remember
that in the beginnings of his campaign Mr. Roosevelt
asked only this:
TAFT BE SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE FOR DE-
CISION IN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. y
Mr. Taft refused. His influence, his of6ciary, his
power, his campaign funds, we're employed at every
point to prevent political committees or State legs-
latures making provision for primaries.
The Administrations only chance was in adhesion
to the corrupt old methods that aim hrst Of all at
suppression Of the peoples will.
Which side will the PEOPLE favor?
Such disgraceful performance as that in Michi-
gan yesterday is the last gasp the drythroaed death
rattle, of system too rotten, too corrupt, too SUBJ
versve Of common decency and representative nsti-
tutons, to continue. The end is at hand. There
will be no more such performances in Michigan
there would have been none this year but for Taft's
refusal to let the Presidential primary law take ef
feet this season.
The present campaign will mark the end Of the
wicked old methods. a-... .. .
Unfortunately, if Mr. Taft's managers have their
way, it will not unlikely mark the end of the Repub-
lican party, too

SAD CASE OF SECRETARY FISHER.

While President Taft, talking in the conserva-
tive East bemoans the danger of the tyranny of ma
jorities, Secretary Fisher in the middle of the
progressive West is mild enough to opine that the
recall OF decisions is impracticable but paliates
it by adding that "he was in favor Of applying the
recall to non-judicial officers"
Thus does our acing-both-ways Administration
play both ends of the string Ii fairly aches to be
progressive in progressive territory; it is horred at
suggestion of progress elsewhere.
Secretary Fishers case is pitiful. He was
brought into the Cabinet sop to the progressive
Cerberus. He seized upon the progressive program
of Government railroads. Government mines, conser-
vaton of resources in Alaska; and now he denounces
the progressves for failing to advance any construc-
tive program!
How useless are such tactics has been illustra-
ted in illinois and New York. Mr.. Taft pleaded for
New York delegation; he tried to be conservative
enough-n New York-to satisfy even Chairman
Barnes At the same time he has Secretary Fisher
appealing to Illinois for a Taft delegation on the
ground that he was progressive.
Neither State was willing to be fooled. -Four
years of double-faced policy has been enough ILL
nois declined to take Mr. Fishers word, that the
President was a progressive; New York declined
to accept the Presidents assurance that he was con-
servatve and would stick.
The game has been played out 1t isn't pract.
cable to fool the people all the time.

PENNSYLVANIA SPEAKS TO-DAY.

Small wonder that the eyes of the nation are
on Pennsylvania today. Despite the unsatisfactory
character Of its primary law it still has primary
law, and under that law it is eecting its delegates
to the national conventions.
The result today will decide whether Mr.. Taft
is to be recognized forthwith eliminated, or wheth-
er his candidate shall persist until the great pro-
gressive Commonwealth Of the middle and far
West shall have brought in their verdicts.
For the Republican party, it will be fortunate
IL the fight receives the prompt and effective quietus
that would be administered by a sweeping Roose-
welt victory. There would be time before the ma
onal convention for feeling to subsde bitterness to
be forgotten, and conditions to adjust themselves.

THE OLDFIELD PATENT BILL.

/ Congressman, Oldheld Of Arkansas has introduced
bill that by all means should pass, and promptly.
1t is intended to repair the tremendous in
the patent laws, pointed out by the Supreme Court
decision in the Dick case.
! That decision sustained the right of a patentee
to condition the use of his patented article, upon
the use of other and unpatented articles. That is,
| the manufacturer Of certain electric light for
instance could refuse to sell to people who would not
also buy from him all their electric fixtures.
The monopoly possibilities in such situation are
appalling Mr.. Oldfeld has introduced the British
law on the same subject That law was passed in
Great Britain for the express purpose Of counering
the efforts Of certain American patentees to establish
patent monopolies in the manner just described, and
it has had the desired effect. Massachusetts has
adopted like law.
This measure provides that any such restrictions,
Of any condition in contract designed to establish
such conditions, shall be null as being in restraint
Of trade and contrary to public policy.
This provision would bring the offense, apparent
y, within the penalties of the Sherman act. Whether
there is need of independent penal provision is
question for the lawyers. II is understood that there
is excellent legal authority for the measure in the
form in which Mr.. Oldfeld has framed it.
Mr.. Oldfeld has also prepared measure, which
in application to patent administration would be
revolutionary, and of the greatest benefit to end all
patent monopolies. 1t adopts the policy this paper
has heretofore strongly urged, of permitting no
patent monopoly whatever. Every patented device
would be open to the use Of anybody wanting to
employ it, but only on condition Of paying royalties
which should be fixed and their collection enforced
by the patent administration of the Government
Thus the inventor would be assured of his legitimate
