Killing Individual Initiative.

There has long been complaint
that the modern theater is becoming
trivial and sensational, with a mark
ed tendency toward the sensual. 1t
has no actors that rank with the
Booths and the Iryings of old Now
comes David Belasco, the great New
York manager, who admits the
charge in part. He says in effect
that present day actors "are unable
to talk. walk or move properly; that
/, they are illiterate and boorish, often
ignorant of the rudiments of Their
art" etc.
Mr. Relasco does not state the
cause of this condition, but proposes
schools of acting to remedy the de-
feet. The New York Evening Post
says the theatrical trust is to blame
That paper does not believe the pro-
posed schools will correct the diff

LIMITED ARBITRATION.

1t would be not merely fool
ish but wicked for us as nation
to agree to arbitrate any dispute
that affects our vital interest or
our Independence or our honor,
because such an agreement
would amount on our part to q
covenant to abandon our duty. to
an agreement TO surrender the
rights Of the American people
about unknown matters at I'M
known times IN the future. Such
an agreement would be wicked
If kept, and yet to break 1t, as
1t undoubtedly would be broken
II the occasion arose, would be
only less shameful than keeping
1t. II as a people we wish to
make genuine advance. to
promise what can and will and
ought to be done, we
should agree definitely TO sub
NIT to arbitration all disputes
that do not involve the vital In
terest, the independence or honor
Of the nation. and we should at
the same time make provisions
which will tend to bring about
pacific solution Of all disputes
not covered by the treaty. -Theo-

IT is VERY CLOSE.
Little Leading in Race for Democratic
Lieutenant Governor.

It seems probable on the face of re-
turns from IS of the los counties that
c. B. Little, of Olathe, has won the
Democratic nomination for attorney
general. with Fred Robertson. of
RawIns, and Thomas F. Morrison, of
Chanute, only a few hundred votes
behind. This afternoon Little is lead
ing in the race by a bare 1000 ma
jcrity, while both Morrison and Rob-
ertson are close on his heels.
Both L. S. Harvey and w. S. Hyatt
seem to have dropped out of the run
ing and are at least 1000 votes be-
hind the leader in one of the warm
est contests of the recent primary
election. Official returns from prac-
tically all of the los counties will be
enrolled late this evening or tomorrow
morning. While the returns from the
remaining 80 counties may yet decide
the Democratic nominee for attorney
general, it is not believed that either
Robertson or Morrison will be able to
overtake the present leader.

POPULAR MAJORITY.
Looks Now as Though Stmbbs Would
Win by $500 Votes.

With returns from IS counties out
of los compiled, Governor Stubs is
today leading United States Senator
Charles Curtis by nearly 5000 votes in
the contest for a popular majority in
the primaries of August 6. In 20
counties enrolled today, Stubs gained
S96 votes over Curtis.
Late yesterday evening the official
returns in 5 1 counties showed Stubs
was leading Curtis by little more
than 1000 votes. While the friends OF
Senator Curtis conceded his defeat
several days ago, they still maintained
that the senior senator from Kansas
had won the popular majority in his
race for denomination to the United
States senate. His majority was first
claim ed at 1O, 900, was then reduced to
5000. Now it appears that the race
may. be exec edingly close-in fact, the
that Stubs will not only, land the
nomination but has secured the popu-
lar majority as well.
In the 80 counties vet to be enroll
ed, Curtis won in but IL of them,
while Stubs had majority in the re-
naming 21. This situation, however,
is somewhat balanced by the fact that
in which Curtis drew big majorities
have not been enrolled. Cherokee is
another strong Curtis county yet to be
listed, while Wyandotte, which went
strong for Stubs, is not on the list at
this time. Even by Senator Curtis
friends it is considered doubtful
whether he will be able TO overcome
the Stubs leads in the counties not
enrolled; and this afternoon it appears
