DAILY COMMENT ON PEOPLE AND THINGS

Now that organized labor has gone
on record against the Simon O'DOn-
nell edition of Hearst's Examiner,
Simon should resign either as editor
in-chief of that edition or as presi-
dent of the Building Trades Council.
We don't know which pays the
most, but Simon surely can't hold
on to both.
Harry Thaw isn't the only crazy
man who isn't locked up in an
asylum.
There are rich mems sons tearing
around Chicago who have no more
brains than Thaw, and whose morals
are just as rotten.

most people sympathize with man
who escapes from prison?

After all we couldn't have Perry's
victory all over again in Chicago be-
cause the hired heroes of the occa-

They wanted to be 81 a day heroes
or none at all So they struck.
Not having any fighters there was
no Perry's victory. So it was in play.
Some day it will pan out the same in
war. The soldiers will go on strike

SHOWS DEFECTS OF LAW.
Secretary Brenaman, of State Demo
Cratic Committee. Outlines
Changes.

Richmond, Va, Dec. l9.-Amend-
ments to the State prirary law, which
will make it more nearly conform to
the general election law, and provide
more adequate machinery for secur-
ing and compiling the returns, are
strongly urged by J. y. Brenaman,
secretary of the State Democratic
committee. Mr.. Brenaman says pro-
gress made by committee name at
TIE last meeting of the State Demo-
cratic committee to draft amendments
to the prirnry law,but that from his
own observation Of the actual work
ings of one State primary since the
act of 1912 took effect, he was con-
vinced that there should be material
amendments.
"We are committed to primary
man." said Mr.. Brenaman, "and there
is no reason why we should not have
an effective and workable plan. My
experience in the recent state primary
convinces me that there should be a
central head in each city and county
to whom the precinct judges of cleo
tion should report. instead of requir-
ing them to SEM the precinct returns
direct to the chairman Of the state
Democratic committed. There has
been no complaint of delay in rcceiv-
ing the returns in general elections,
ari | would suggest that the primary
laws be made 10 conform as nearly
as possible to the general election
laws"

Spaniards Rout Moorish Tribesmen
Yesterday.

Madrid, Dec. ia large force Of
Moorish tribcsnren was routed with
heavy loss yesterday By the Spanish
troops ut Muley AbSelam. Spanish
Morocco.
Spanish military aviators threw the
Mo0rs into disorder with shower of
bombs.
The SpaniardS attacked the Moors
with a brigade of SharpShooters, d
battalion of infantry, four batteries
of artillery. and large boy of ma
tive auxiliaries.
When the order for the general adj
vance of the Spanish column was
given, the advance guard discovered
several thousand Moorish mountain
GERS concealed in Irregularities of the
ground.
\ flotilla of military aviatorS was
sent up TO reconnoiter. BY means Of
flag signals the avlatorS guided the
column of Spanish troops.
A heavy artillery fire was opened by
ths Spaniars without effect. The av-
iators then ascended to an altitude
out of range OF rifle fire and flew di=
rectly over the places where the
Moors were in the greatest numbers.
Then came what the dispatch TO the
Spanish war office describes as a
"veritable rain Of bombs, tossed by
hand by the airmen into the midst
of the Moors.'
After this bombardment the Span
ish infantry charged with the bayonet
and dislodeed the Moors, causing
them to fee in great disorder, leaV-
ing many dead and wounded on the
field
Tht Spanish troops also suffered
heavy loss, as the rifle fire of the
tribesmen was very accurate.
