REPUBLICAN, PARTY REFORM.

New York Times: There Is no rea-
son why the republican congressional
committee should not try to reform
tho machinery Of the party. IT is quite
as representative a body as the ma
tional committee. and its members are
probably better informed as to the
sentiment Of the party. And the dull
est II most stubborn of standpatters
must admit that the party machinery
badly needs reforming.
The first and chief point to which
those in the committee direct their
efforts is the establishment of rep
rescntation in the national convention
on the basis of the actual voting
strength of the party in each state.
This is stoutly resisted Ivy those of
the members who owe their power
10 the old. bad. and rotten. system.
mostly southerners. Hut the reform
is just and urgent. IT was all very
we'll. from the sectional point of.view.
to give the south far more votes in
conventions than tho republican
strength warranted so long as the
north could keep the party in power.
That can no longer he done. and the
revolt against the corrupt machine
rule will keep the party out of power
unless. and until. that gross abuse is
lone away with.
Tho other measures of reform are
i'll line with this. but less important.
is that delegates to national con-
elected at primaries in ac-

spcc'fve st;ttes shall he serted. ThcrSs
is VI" good reason why they should

the choice of delegates are a pretty
device for getting the hest rep
reservations. and they would be no
defense against marhi4a manipula-
ton. hut where the state law pro-
rides for them it should obviously he
respected. The same is true about
the state laws regulating the choice
of national, committeeman. Neither

the republican party. That is an
aim that every sincere republican
must desire to attain. and every SEN

spirit Of greedy chicane which oppos-

WuAr SHOULD uE 40:

A recent copy of the New York
Times contains "a letter from, II young
man who seeks advice. Tie is - years
old, a stenoErapher. aud in poor health
go that he needs outdoor work. He
has !, little money saved UP. iir
wishes to get into farm life, and he
asks il, with the training that he could
get at an agricultural school. and 81
600 cash, he could exc out n living on
"a farm.
The situation OF this younS man.
though perhaps not typical. is at least
not unusual. There are thousands vi
peoplc ii, the cities who feel that for
one reason or another, city life is not
what they need. and who have a desire
to get into the country. They may
or may not have Il little money to in
vest. They are ignorant of farm work
and country life. They do not know
how to start. aud that wish for infor-
nation.
The advice that would fit one case
would he entirely useless in another.
II M attempt werc made tn go into de-
tails. Aud ST. much depends on the
ad%aptahility uf the individual that it
NAV he possible for one man wholly
ignorant nf farming INC everything
pertaining to il to so. raw as he is. on
to a farm and make Il success of it.
While another. under like circuln-
stances, would make ~ total failure
OF il,
Agricultural school training is use
full and highly desirable. Yet the
ma who has never seen Il farm cam
not very we'll learn in a school how to
I've a farmer. Taking the case "f the
writer nj the letter referred ,o, it APP
pears that it would hc y mistake for
him To start his farm life by going
to school. Also. II would he rank folly
for him to invest his small capital in a
farming enterprise without more
knowledge of the business than he has
now.
1t seems that a sensible course for
n young nan 50 situated would bc to
take his capital II invest it in a safe
place where i, will earn a little inter-
est. hut where. above all things. it will
he absolutely secure. Then let hin, go
int" the country and get a job on a
farm. He will not he able to obta,n
high wages. hut he can make "a liv-
ing. and a little more. He will learn
about farming right on tho ground
where 1T is done. lie will learn how
he mus: live and work when he has
4 farm of his own. Between times
he can take short courses at agrirul-
tural schools, II the knowledge gain
ed in this way will be invaluable to
him.
IT he follows this course, and has 4
good business head. he will before Ions
know whether he actually wants to
farm or not. II he finds himself UNI
suited to the life. hc will a, least have
gained some experience Of lite which
will he useful. no matter what occupa-
ton he may select later. And his 1T
tie capital will I've intact. II. on the
other hand. after eivins the thing a
fair trial. he concludes that farming
is the business for him. he will he in
a position to SO into It :n.ell!gently.
His thousand dollars will give him a
nice start somewhere. and the knowl-
edge that he has gained will protect
hin from a score Of mistakes which
he will he almost certain to make un-
less he takes ON steps 10 inform him
eeif thoroughly in advance.

FORTUNE HUNTER" AT
THE AVENUE THIS WEEK

The success achieved by the Con-
ness Players at the opening week Of
the Avenue Theatre with St Elmo
was pronounced II even exceeded
the expectations OF Manager Conness,
although he looked for good houses.
Wilmington playgoers, however,
showed their appreciation nearly last
week OF the reopening OF the we'll
known playhouse by their attend
ance
With good business obtaining the
initial week. It is only natural that
a stronger and more modern play the
second week will draw crowded
houseB "The Fortune Hunter this
weeks bill. is one of the most fa-
nous plays ever produced in this
country.
The story Of The Fortune Hunter
is known to most playgoers II is a
narrative Of a young man who wants
to get rich through wedlock. The op-
portunity presents itself, but he finds
that there is much more in life than
wealth per a wife; that an earnest
girl without money is more conducive
to happiness than one less earnest
with the coin
The play is in four acts Il starts
i'm New York and ends in "Radvil'e." "
Pa. The electrical and scenic effects
will be elaborate and the entire pre-
sentat'on will be the equal of that
given by the original company
The wisdom of Manager Conness is
having daily matinees is attested by
] the large attendances. The cast for
this week follows:
