The mill president considered this
point from all angles, and finally, for
reasons best known to himself, he de-
cided to take a chance on Reuben X.
Pitcher. And with the business which
had taken him north successfully con-
summated, that gentleman next de-
cided to cast about him for the sell
ing agency of a spruce box factory, a
side line OF sound, well-made spruce
box shook promising to add mate
rally to his income.
Quite early in his stay at Hoquiam,
Pitcher had observed a modest little
factory on the bay shore at the east
ern end of the town. He had OBJ
served also a tremendous pile of box
wood at the end Of the elevator that
carried the waste from the saws, and
the thought had occurred to him:
Here is a man with q we'll equipped
little plant, but he is mt making any
money. I'll call on him, and If he
needs a selling agent, I'll put him
wise to few things"
pom completing his business with
~ the Wishkah Company, there
fore, Reuben X. called at the Of
fee of the Washington Box Factory
and sent in his card to the manager,
who presently came I'm from the fac
tory. He was a sad man, who chewed
tobacco, and the rim of his hat was
heavily laden with fine sawdust;
which fact did not escape the eagle
eye of Rube Pitcher - for he saw at
once that the manager had been
running spruce boards through a
planer - infallible evidence that his
cash reserve was low, and that he
was endeavoring to eliminate ex-
pense by doing himself the work of a
hired man. He shook hands and said
his name was Henry Peets; that he
owned the factory which was fully
insured, and hoped, by all the gods,
pagan and otherwise, II might catch
fire and burn to the foundation tim
bers.
Finding Reuben X. Pitcher a SYM
pathetic listener, he proceeded to di-
late on the general misery of the box
business and his own stupidity for
ever embarking in such fool game.
"Wha. you need, Mr.. Peets," said
Pitcher, "is live selling representa-
tive in San Francisco; somebody that
knows the trade and can supply you
with orders enough to keep the fac
tory running the year around some
body that can get you the top market
price for your stock and arrange ton
mage to freight II to market. And
while it's a great blow to my natural
modesty to make such a crack, l
think I'm the angel that's been sent
to save you," and he explained his
qualifications for the Job.
Henry Poets grinned painfully.
T don't doubt your ability, Mr..
Pitcher, but IL I'm to have an angel,

1.-THE Havoc"

"The Havoc" treats the sex problem
logically and is on the order of the
much talked of play Damaged Goods y
Paul Gilmores widely discussed play,
THE Havoc" one of an entire sea-
sons New York successes, will be seen
here at the Gennett theatre Monday
Sept 8, when the manager will
offer H. S. Sheldon's powerful three
act drama.
THE Havoc" is an entirely new
treatment of the sex problem and from
the American point of view. One crit
ical authority declared that the author
has written his story as though he
was telling a French farce with abso-
lutte seriousness, the difference in meth
cd lying Gin the fact that the abundant
comedy of The Havoc" is built on
sardonic humor, and the husband OF
the Sheldon play, unlike the husbands
of French comedies, is a central char
acter of titanic strength.
American theatregoers have grown
accustomed to the problem plays Dor
rowed from the European stage, in
which the dramaticts glorifies the
principals of lawless love. THE Hav-
oc" is an exact opposite to this point
of view. 1t shows the grim logical re,
suits of a revolt against martial ties

Red Mems Carnival

"Caddis," a beautiful conception is
showing this week in one of the larg-
est tents at the Red Mems Carnival.
A statue that turns to life illustrating
the NEUROLOGICAL story of Pygmalion
and Galatea showing the exquisite Ro-
man floral burial, brings to sudden
realization the uniqueness of this con-
ception. Frank Haley, manager of
this attraction gives a complete lee
ture on this story and combined with
the actual poses the public enjoys an
unusual entertainment Jimmy
Jones" from The Wizard of Or" has
been exclusively engaged to sing the
week Of the Carnival in Richmond.
1t would be a revelation to the peo-
pie here to know that the beautiful
melodies produced on the piano are
those of blind man, Prof. Hardy, OF
the Western Institute of the Blind at
Pittsburg.
Poses showing Rock of Ages,
THE Shepherdess" and Guardian
Angels" are artistic and a very close
resemblance to the original paintings
by the sculptors.

SWEET AND TWENTY

Mistress mine, where you roaming?
o, stay and hear; your true loves coming,
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise mans son doth know.
What is love? 'Tis not hereafter
Present mirth with present laughter
What's to come is still unsure
In delay there lies plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty!
Youths stuff will not endure

the only week of the season that "A
Little Brother of The Rich" could be

However, The Melting Pot will be
given later in the season.

Endangering Freedom of Ballot
TContinued from Page Onel


slipping through their fingers, thanks to the
spread of direct primaries and Independent vot-
ing, they naturally desire some method OF renew
ing their control-of securing nominations and
elections for "their" candidates. If they can
force voting machines that can be manipulated
on the voters, then they have accomplished their
purpose.
At primaries manipulative machines can be
made to cast the winning number of votes for
the bosses candidates regardless of how the ma
jority of party voters cast their votes. At cleo
tons the party bosses that can control the secret
attaching of manipulative devices to machines
will secure the election of their candidates,
regardless of the size of the other political
party's votes.
It has been stated that the reason for haste
in making an appropriation to purchase voting
machines for Wayne county because of the
change on the board of county commissioners
that will take place next January. At that time
Mordeca Doddridge will succeed to Robert
Beeson's place on the board. Mr. Doddridge is a
Progressive. Albert Anderson who took office
last January on the board is also Progressive.
The third member of the board after next Jan
uary will be Barney Linderman, Republican.
Therefore, the Progressives will be in control of
the board as two of the three members will be of
that partys faith.
Great anxiety is expressed to have the vot-
ing machines in use in Wayne county "on trial.
in the 1914 election. At that time all county
offices that were not voted for last November
will be filled with new officers. AS things stand
at present and guaranteed fair and non-crooked
election, the Progressives will probably fill the
rest of the county offices with men from their
party. What will be the case eff the voting
machines in use here could be manipulated?
The members of the county council advance
as their chief claim for authorizing the purchase
of the machines that they will render elections
less expensive Twenty Eight machines in as
many election precincts will do the work that
now requires sixtyfour voting precincts. This
alleged saving is not an unmixed blessing. All
voting precincts where machines are used will
have to be more than twice as large as they are
at present. In other words you voters will have
to drive or walk more than twice far to cast
your votes. You know what effect that will have
on lots of voters. Especially when after the vot-
er arrives at the booth he must master the intri-
cacies of the machine and cast his vote in
minutes time.
Machines "broke down. in certain Indianapo-
lis precincts during the last election and many
voters, as a result, lost their votes. There were
not enough minutes left after the break downs
for all the voters to cast their votes. And what
voters, do you surmise would be given the first
opportunity to cast their votes after such a
break down in an election that the bosses wished
to control?
