Plea for Play Reading
New York Tribune)


 One of diversions is read plays, new. old. classic, casual-it matters not. l find them dozen times more interesting than novels, and they form large proportion of all my reading. great argument in favor of play reading is the comparative breVity Of dramatic writings. The longest play be read in couple of hOurS and if the work proves disappointing, not much time has been wasted the other hand, it takes many, many hours read of pages are written simply padding. In reading play one becomes acquainted with the characters and follows oIt the plot in terse straightforward fashion; there is little beating around the bush. Yet at the time there technical and literary delights to De got out of play reading. there from novel reading.

 However complete description of that region might have been few months ago. it would be entirely inadequate now. The Free Press holiday number is uF-to-date but believe that another six months will make it seem imperfect and anti quated that another special number will be necessary.

 Several of the members who are opposing the test declare that if such test had been enforced while We were struggling independence, it would have deprived us of the aid of Count Pulaski in the struggle of the colonies. Herein is shown lamentabe ignorance the literacy provision which requires only that immigrant must be able read and write in his language This bar is lifted if he prove that he is fleeing this country from persecution oppression.

The Peoples Postmasters

is with engaging fran>ness that be- loved contemporary the Bisbee Review discusses the Bristow preferential post office primary meas ure whose operation Bisbee. many democrats fear. according the Review would be disastrous. Some fearful that it would mean the perpetual continuance in office Of the incumbent, the Hon. Michael Emmett Cassidy MT. Cassidy is held in an esteem that breaks and disregards party lines in Bisbee. Plainly preferential post office primary would divert the post office spoils from the victors.
 The Review assures its alarmed constituent that there is ground apprehension The Bristow is foredoomed to extinction. Says the Review most comfortngly:
 The democratic congressman promised too many postmasterships to supporters to allow them to agree and uncertain system which would be fatal many who arranging to the postal service"
 Thus have it in nutshell The people are be deprived of the privilege of exercising their choice of man for postmaster in order that con- gressmen may campaign pledges and distribute political rewards.
 We have heard' this objection raised against the postmaster primary: That people would choose the most popular rather than the most eff cient We will admit that the popularity of any candidate do with his election office but it has not everything to do with it.
 The people when they have had a chance (and they had none under the old delegate convention system) have manifested considerable discrimina- ton and appreciation efficiency We have all seen candidates supported for office for which majority of the voters believed them to be fitted We have the candidates for other offices defeated because though they had lost of their popularity majority of the voters did believe them be fitted for the latter offices which they aspired
 But if the people should sometimes in the choice of a postmaster their mistakes would not be nearly numerous those which made under the existing system of making the pOstof fees rewards for political service.
 There is other office with which many of the peopdle have a relation the postoffice. Comparatively few of have business with the sheriff the courts. More of have business with assessors and treasurers. Practically every has business with the post office.
 We have no criticism offer of post master any other this believe that they all attentive to their duties and try give their respective communities the best pOssi- ble service within the experience of all of Us that postmasters without qualification or time attend to their duties have been appointed to fat fofices whose administration devolved wholly upon ill paid assistants and whose interest in the service commensurate with their salaries

Odd Recurrences in Reading

 A busy newspaper cOnfided to that when arrested by unusual reference in his read ing he does not always seek immediate enlighten- ment He waits, with d confidence that is rarely disappointed for the reappearance of the allusiOn elsewhere to bring the needed illumination

Christmas the Season of Love

John A. Sleicher in Leslies Weekly
 Love is the keynote of the Christmas season. The greatest mystery of life is love. Who has not sought to sound it's unspeakable depths? Who has not felt it's all compelling power? Who has not surrendered it's irresistible force?
