THE LIFER" GREAT MT
At TIE GARRICK

Gordon and North in a melodra-
matte production entitled The
Lifer," are the feature par excellence
of a very good show at the Garrick
this week The company carries
nearly two carloads of scenery and
with eight people in the cast there
are more than twice that number en-
ployed in the handling Of the scenic
effects back of the curtain. A thun-
der storm is produced with splen-
did realism, and all through the act
is one impressed by the fact that no
expense has been spared to make this
the big melodramatic success of the
year in vaudeville The LITER is
the story OF an old man, John Nor
gan, who has spent thirty years in
Jail for a crime he had never COM
mitted In those thirty years he had
come to be known for his love for
flowers which he cultivated in the
gardens inside the Jail walls. When
il was found that he was not guilty
of the crime for which he had served
the best years Of his life, and the par
don came, the old man refused to
leave. claiming that that was his
home. When he finally leaves the
Jail he goes back to New York TO the
scene of his early days. only to find
things so changed that he never
recognizes them. He longs 10 see
his flowers once more and finally un-
dertakes to commit some offence that
will land him behind the prison
walls. While undertaking to rob a
house on Riverside Drive he finds his
daughter whom he has lost sight of in
his thirty years as a convict. and is
a witness to a quarrel in which she
shoots the man she has been living
with. Morgan comes forward as the
real murderer and the curtain drops
as the officers place the handouts
around his wrists TO take him to
prison where he can be with his trees
and flowers once more.

SENATOR TOWNSEND
NOT A CANDIDATE
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In your leading editorial Of April
you give an unwonted dig to
Senator Townsend in regard to the re-
cent soap-box primaries held in Jack
son, Mich, his home town, regarding
the small vote he received as a dele
gate to the State convention, creating
the impression that he was roundly
drubbed in his home city, and stating
that he was beaten three to one. Now,
then, you are doing Senator Townsend
great injustice by your article, and
creating a false impression. For Sena-
tor Townsend was not a candidate at
all as a delegate to the convention, nor
did he 20 home to attend the pri-
maries, nor did he take any active part
in ii. leaving to his home people to do
as they pleased and vote for whom
they plea ased. The city of Jackson did

and in no sense an expression of opin-
ion; for II they were, you could have
we'll said he was beaten more then
eight TO one in the ward. for that was
the result of the vote. So you can see
from this there was nothing in the
vote to Indicate a rebuke to Senator

knows. They know where ne STANDS

MILWAUKEE AND THE SOCIALISTS.

1t was almost inevitable that the socialists, after
their fling in Milwaukee, would lose temporarily at
least and return the nominal control of the city to
other political powers.
The socialists could not hope expect to make
good" in great city like Milwaukee, simply because
they could not carry out their program.
Perhaps if they carried it out it would fail. But
that is not the point. The socialists design many
movments which simply cannot be accomplished so
long as city charters restricted as now. The
State legislatures hold firm overlordship of the
cities; nothing worth whie-nothing very useful or
very dangerous-can be done, by socialists by
ANYBODY else until have free cities in this country
New York is halfway ruled from Albany PhiIa-
delphia from Harrisburg; Chicago from Springfield;
Milwaukee from Madison. And so on.
1t is all wrong. The cities ought to be set free
their affairs ought to be in their own hands. If
Milwaukee or DeS Mones wants to buy its street
railways it ought not to be prevented by any general
limitation of debt imposed by State constitution
upon all cities. Circumstances differ with cities
every city ought to its affairs. Fitting Mil
waukee into garments made for Madison and Fond
du Lac is as dotic expecting the forms of canton
ese government in Switzerland to apply to London
1t is not necessarily the fault of the Milwaukee
socialists that they did not do all the things they
promised in two short years. Nobody could have
done much than they did.

Isn't this going rather too fast in order to put
Colonel Roosevelt in bad light?
The machine in Maryland is against Colonel
Roosevelt and in this, as in any other primary, the
machine counts for a good deal. Every Federal
offceholder in the State must get out and hustle in
return for his job.
But the attention Of our contemporary is called
TO the fact that every advocate of Colonel Roosevelt
in Maryland, so far as The Times can ascertain,
wishes to see Governor Goldsborough sign the
Harper bill.
At least, it gives the voters of Maryland oppor-
tunity to stand up and be counted.
This is good deal 1t is vastly preferable to a
