It Is Party Suicide.

Criticism is rife over the state concerning the arbitrary action of the state central com mittee in adopting tests of eligi- bility at the next democratic primary not authorized by the state convention self,-indeed, contrary to the letter and the spirit of the decree of that cons vention. The Sheridan Head light Grant County) says:
 The resolution as adopted by the Grant county central com mittee, if enforced, will bar a large majority of democrats from voting. We are sure that such was not the intention of the committee. It not only would bar many good demo- crats, but it makes possible the throwing out of many votes cast, after the primaries are ov- CT, in case it was thought neces- sary. The resolution should be corrected and made right, be- cause the right way to do 8 thing is always the best way. lSuch a resolution is a bad preced- ent, and will bear evil fruit in the future. Under it's provis- ions the Democratic party could never be numerically increased, except by natural birth, or the surrendering of political privil- eges for two years. Such pro- visions are not only unwise, but absolutely unjust. Such has never been the usage or prac- tice in Grant county. Members of other political parties, by such arbitrary ruling, could nev- CT join the democratic party, however honest might be their convictions in changing party af- filiations.
 There is not a single good side to such a proposition, and the folly of it cuts out a majority of the democrats. Some of the voters may not have gone to the polls last election on account of sickness; some for business engagements; some because they theought it their privilege to stay away; some because they thought it not their duty to vote under the then existing cir cumstances, and for various oth- CT reasons votes were not cast at the last election. All these

Talking Pictures At Opera House
 oaal ,nlnunnorc 11riIl ha1ro f h ai1,

Talking Pictures At Opera House 1 Local playgoers will have their first opportunity of seeing and hearing Thomas A. Edison's latest great invention, the Kin etophone, or talking pictures at the Opera House, when the in- ventor manager will present his perfectly equipped travelling company for a brief engagement.
 Since the completion of this marvellous device which so per fectly reproduces every spoken word and sound in conjunction with the pictured players and singers, MT. Edison has spent the greater part of his time at the Orange, N. J., studio in directing new plays, vaudeville and minstrel sketches, and pre- tentious operatic numbers for the programs of his eighteen road companies. It is a great rule of his never to allow any de- vice to be offered to the public
 before it has been proven abso- lutely perfect, and in the case of the Talking Pictures which MT. Edison has been at work upon for several years, the great suc- cess which the presenting con- panies have met with in each
 city and town where they have played at the high class houses has been very gratifying to the inventor.
 The program to be shown here has been selected from the hun dreds of Talking Picture sub- jects already completed, and pro- vides a well balanced bill of great interest. Comedy and dramatic numbers, Shakespearean selec- tions, operatic and minstrel num- bers, vaudeville, farce and spe- cialties are to be given in the fourteen numbers which com prise Mr. Edison's program. A number made by John J. Me- GraW, Captain of the New York Giants ball club, in which the re- doubtable 'Mugey" tells of in- teresting plays and happenings on the ball field, will appeal strongly to the young folks.
 Evening prices will be child dren under 12 years, 25c; Adults 35c and soc. Matinee Tuesday, prices 15 and 25c. An entire change of program for each show. 44d5t

These buildings are storehouses for sweet potatoes.
