BIJ0U PLAY IS
GETTING FAVOR
Big House This Week.
Strong Western Story.

Evidently the bill this week at the
Bijou has hit the popular fancy, as
the attendance since 1t opened was
overlooking. The play is a strong
Western story, THE End Of the
Trail" and pretty scenery, strong
situations and broad Irish comedy
combine to make an excellent even
ing's entertainment. Mr.. Smith, in
makeup and acting, was a typical
Redskin, but with a nobler nature
than is usually attributed to them.
Miss Halter was a pretty Indian
maid and Mr.. La Sale a bad man in
the government service, whose ideas
of morality are rather lax. Mr.. Con-
roy and Miss Harcourt were a pair
| of Irish lovers and as laugh proyok-
ers they were a decided success.
Miss Shannon and Mr.. Watersi
also did some clever work. The play
was heartily ~applauded and evidently
made a hit"
For next week the company have
in rehearsal ]. X. Tillotson's "Lyn-
wood" a story of the Blue and the
Grey in the stirring days of the early
sixties. II. Landishman, a well
known scenic artist of New York, is
preparing an entirely new outfit of
scenery for this production and the
management promises a big drama
tic presentation of this popular play,
which has proven a drawing card in
the large stock organizations of near
by cities.
| Following this comes a romantic
tale of the 'Moonshiners" in North
Carolina. A popular innovation at
this house Is the reservation Of seats
for any performance except matinees.

clined to do SO and SO far ne other
candidate has been named.
On the Republican ticket practi-
cally nothing has been accom-
plished up to date. Several pro-
spectiye candidates for the mayor
atty were approached and they all
fatly refused. No petitions have
been filed and the who's who" IN
the Republican party In local af-
fairs this year Is a perplexing
question. Among those talked Of
as candidates were Frank Van
Brake and Charles L. Young, but
no definite action has been taken.

SNOW HILL. MD. DEC. II
Popular Elections

This is Nation of State
rights as well as popular rights.
Neither people nor States have
all the rights there are, because
experience has proved. what
was declared by genius akin to
inspiration, that both rights
would be safer and surer than
either rights alone. Nothing is
surer than the death of liberty
in an unlimited democracy. For
this reason we divide our Gov
ernments into coordinate de-
partments, each checking the
other and also check our nat
ional Government against en-
croachment by the Nation. and
both against the attacks of UNI
wisdom through popular sutf-
rage. Nobody of authority will
challenge this statement, and
yet some of authority are urg
ing that Presidents should be
elected by popular majorities.
without the intervention of the
Electoral College which repres-
ents the State as well as the
people. 1t is said that votes
should be of equal value in each
State, but that at present a sin
gle vote in some States counts
for as much as two or three
votes in other States. Some
times we have had minority
Presidents, and sometimes the
votes of the Electoral College
have been different from what
the decision would have been
had pure majority ruled
1t is necessary to admit some
imperfections in our methods,
but it does not follow that the
substitution of a mere popular
majority would be preferable.
1t might be easier, but it is not
well TO make the election too
easy. 1t might be easier to win
a popular majority than to carry
majorities of both States and
people. The Electoral College
is not above criticism. and its
machinery might well be
amended when somebody sug-
gest a sure or even an apparent
Improvement. But il is worth
remembering that it works in
correspondence with the theory
of our Government. and that it
never has worked harm. 1t may
be archaic, but stronger reason
than mere innovation ought TO
be advanced before destroying
respectable institutions, which
may be more useful that their
critics think.-N. y Times.
