HOW THE PRIMARY WORKS..

New York City is not entirely pleas
ed with the primary system. 1t has
witnessed inst ances where the bosses
rode into power more easily by that
route than tie old convention sys
tenn. Il This, from the New. York
World, relatiye to it's own local con.
ditions,> sheds light upon the working
of ailaw, which reformers have held
as nearly perfect as an instrument
through which to register the will of
the people; in}:-. ~ @lEs5. .&Ldgfa
The party organizations, according
to their needs and inclinations, have
dictated the choice Of candidates for
the various offices to ne filled, and
only. here and there is there evidence
of Independent action by a consider
able fraction of voters qualified to
take part in the primaries.
"This is not at all what was pre-.
dicted at The time the battle was rag.
ing yer the direct primary issue. 1t
vas to free for all time the honest
voters from the power Of the boss and
make the men of conscience and cour-
age the. real masters of the nominal
ing machinery. ~. /. .
But somehow it is not working out
that way The Democratic and Re.
publican candidates for sheriff, for
assemblymen and for aldermen have
been designated by the organizations,
and there are no popular uprisings.
No great number of patriots have ap-
peared anywhere to strike for their
affairs and their fires. 1t is hard to
see now why the party organizations
should ever have been opposed to
methods which leave them in undis-
puted control

How refreshing it would be if the
public prints would cease attempting
to classify Americans. No hypher
should indicate or even suggest a di

Surely the follies and blunders of the

any more than the attitude of the

This nation cannot adhere toe

Friday is a Side Split

The familiar significance of the title
"a Pair Of Sixes," which plays at the
Auditorium Friday, to~American ,theat-
ergoers, as well as it's q%uaintness, has
made it we'll known the country over,
apart from the fact that the farce en-
joyed a run of nearly a year at the
Longacre Theater, New: York, and is
now being played north, east south
and west. j$$ ID ~
The play wassreceived by the metro
politan critics with an expression of
praise that almost exhausted the s u
perlatives and the hilarious farce has
made good everywhere despite this
avalanche of praise. It has made
theatergoers expect much and they
have not been disappointed. For in
genuity Of plot, bright dialogue, hilar-
ious complications and most amusing
situations, it has been declared the
best play Of it's Kind eve seen on the
notwithstanding stage. It is by Ed
ward Peple, the author Of "Th6SLdt-
tlest 4Rebel"tan 'fThe Prince Chap"
and is in three acts.,Rt ;1-f v~rE&@
The plot deals with the affairs of
George B. Nettle:on and r. Boggs
John, partners in a pill manufacturing
business, who are constantly. at logger
heads, each longing to be rid 7of the
other, but neither willing to sell out.
They summon their lawyer but. decline
his various propositions for. dissolu-
ton until, in despair, he suggests a
contract with numerous conditions by
which a hand of poker is to be played,
with }h0 nan ol$v tfho& th1 11c4y ohh1I
quit the business for a year and in
the interval serve as a servant in the
household Of the winner. The lawyer
is interested personally because he
hopes to see T. Boggs John lose and
with his lips sealed by the contract
he will be Inundated before the girl
with whom he is in love, and in whom
the lawyer is also; interested. The
breaking ofsthe contract means a for
fixture Of $1,000 Sand sacrifice Of his
share of the business. John loses and
Nettleton and the lawyer both feel he
will break the contract rather than
stick it out for "a year. But he grits
his teeth and bravely enters upon his
duties as. hutler in the Tettleton
household. He is found here perform.
ing his meniel duties by his sweet.
heart, who arrives as the guest of the
Nettletons. He cannot explain his po-
sition to her, and there is more trou-
BILE for him through the attentions of
an eccentric English housemsid who
pursues him for a husband. This
comical complication is developed
through the rapid series of hilarious
situations and the fun rattles along
until the unfortunate partners sweet
heart takes a hand in the game and
rescues him from the clutches of his
partner. The latter, too. is glad to
end the agreement, for he has mis-.
