the position held by Du Ryer when in
his best manner.
"Du Ryer's six tragedies form the
most important part Of his work. BY
them he gained most Of his dramatic
reputation and helped establish the FOR
mula for classic French tragedy. T.u-
GREECE showed before Horace that Ro-
man history could furnish themes suit
able to such plays. Saul and Esther
introduced the religious subject To
classic authors. Years before Raclne's
'Berenice.' 'Alcionee' demonstrated that
five acts could be sustained without eS.
ternal events purely by the representa-
ton Of mental states. 'Sceuole,' COM
monty held to be the authors chef
d'Puvre, was one Of the few plays
written in the first half OF the seven
teenth century that were acted in the
eighteenth. 'Themistocle,' published
more often than most OF Du Ryers
plays, has some interest as an example
of the political tragedy in the Cornellan
manner

AZ suited his position ca.:S In life a.
one Of the Junior secretaries Of his king
and later in the same confidential posi-
| ton with vend6me. But for all his be-
lief in the right divine he had phllo-
sophical provision; long in advance OF

constitutional monarchy. His whole at
titude toward life Is that of modern cti-
zenshlp. as far from the allurement of
the court above as II is from the law
less sting Of poverty below. In his rare
Introduction Of the bourgeois class he
shows a sympathy far ahead of his age
and endows the class with homely vir-
tues which fill them with pride. Upon
this point Prof Lancaster observes:
| "Du Ryer endows his 'personnages
sympathques' with the orthodox virtues
of patriotism, loyalty. Justice. domestic
fidelity. The cosmopolite and the scep-
| tic are condemned along with the egoist
and the traitor. At the same time ne
seldom forgets that he is an artist
rather than a moralist. and does not
often take pious and mciodramatic
delight In the punishment OF his VII
lains"
Those who treasure the memory Of the
delightful cadences Of Du Ryer's rhythm
will rejoice that he has been brought
back to the knowledge Of a forgetful
world In such a sympathetic treatment.
II is to the honor Of American literary
scholarship that so valuable a work IL
to be set to the credit Of one Of our less
pretentious colleges. AS to the position
OF Du Ryer in the literature Of the
stage We can reach no other determine

eastern Oregon where transportation
facilities are limited. Chapter 203, a
companion bill of chapter 2O1, pro-
vides for the preparation of official
ballots a week earlier than hereto
! fore.
! Chapter 323, commonly known as
| the "Gill Registration Bill" was re-
Gently declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court The invalidity OF
| this measure has caused much con-
| fusion among county clerks as to just
when the registration books should be
| closed before the primary election,
but the attorney general has held that
the spirit of the direct primary and
other election laws will govern, in the
absence of specific authority, and il
seems quite certain that the books
will be closed two weeks before the
primary election.
New I,ceistrtiOn Required.
The supreme courts decision invali-
dates all registrations made in the
year 1913. and as the old registration
laws must now govern until they are
altered or repealed. it will be neces-
sary for all who wish TO participate
in this years primary election to reg
lister anew before May I.
Chapters 81. 207 and 359 deal with
ballot titles, printing of pamphlets and
other matters pertaining to the initi-
ative and referendum. The first EMU
merated chapter provides for the
printing of a short, concise ballot title
o. 10 words and the name of the party
or organization responsible for the in
itiative or referendum petition. the
100-word title heretofore authorized
remains unchanged. but is to be sup
plemented by the shorter title for the
purpose of Identification. This new
law was in operation at the recent spe-
cial referendum election by which the
measures We're identified as they were
commonly known, i e, County At
torney BILL" "Workingmen's Com
pensation Act" sterilization Bill
This lave enables the average voter
to tell at glance the identity of the
measure before him and saves the
trouble of scrutinizing the technical
wording of the 10O-word ballot title.
Another important change occurs
in the size and style of the initiative
and referendum pamphlets. The use
OF smaller type will result in cor
respondingly smaller pamphlet; ii Is
estimated that there will be a saving
of $4,000 biennially on postage alone.
An important change was made in
the form of initiative and referendum
petitions. it being provided that the
verification of the eirculator must be
on the face of the petition instead OF
on the reverse side as heretofore.
Minor Changes Numerous.
There are numerous minor changes
and corrections in the election laws
and many sections of dead" matter
have been repealed. Those who have
made a study of these laws and the
] amendments by the legislature are OF
the opinion that the laws, as they ex-
list at present. will be easily under,
stood and applied, and that the dutie:
OF county clerks and election official:
generally have been materially light
ened
! One of the amendments that prom
ises to be particularly pleasing t.

whereby the secretary of state must
print and distribute, in addition TO
the pamphlet containing the whole OF
the election laws. smaller pamphlet
containing copies of the provisions of
these laws which bear directly upon
the duties of judges and clerks. The
average election official usually is be-
wildered by the legal terms as wen as
by the volume of the pamphlet in
which he finds his directions. so the
smaller pamphlet will be of material
assistance to him.
