Pretty close shave, but enough. We have found one man in Sherman county who defends the primary law. But even he acknowledges he doesn’t understand it. The republican party in Sherman county are fortunate in the selection of their republican candidate for county clerk in the person of Thos. R. Lay, one of the brightest young business men in the county. Mr. Lay has for years had charge of the Keystone Lumber company’s interests at Rockville and has drown an aptitude for business far beyond that exhibited by the average young man of today and we have it from Mr. Outhouse that it was with regret that he accepted Mr. Lay’s resigna tion as his business agent at Rock ville, to allow the latter to go into the canvass that will undoubtedly land him in the clerk’s office. How ever, Mr. Outhouse’s loss is the ffe RubU»n party’s gain, for Mr. Lay will undoubtedly make as competent M hB for It looks like William Howard Taft for our next president. Judge Reese’s majority over Judge Sedgwick wa/ 7,372. Now double that and you will have approximately the majority of Reese over the fusion nominee for supreme judge. The attorney general's office has decided that the primary law did not intend that blank lines should be placed on the ballots, hence candi dates who have received nominations by their names written in the blank spaces will not be recognized. The primary law was evidently made to benefit the fellow who could get a a nomination for office in no other way than by the #5 method. Judging by the poll of the middle-j west recently made by the Chicago Tribune, which included 1,700 con gressmen, editors, legislators and j party leaders, which gave Taft 9001 votes to Cannon's 191, Hughes 184. Fairbanks 159 and Knox 19, the trend seems to be overwhlemingly Taft’s way. According to this Taft would have 160 votes to Cannon's 54 and Fairbanks 30. The approval of Roose velt’s progressive policies received 1,566 to a disapproval of 65. As an indication that Taft is thought to be the strong man for republican candi date for the presidency, there can be littie doubt. THEATRE TALK NO. I. WHEN HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW ANNOUNCED ' THAT “ART IS LONG AND TIME IS FLEETING” he could not have been thinking of dramatic art. The only successful plays made out of his works were made by — ■ ■ . other hands than his. But his statement, if in it he included UOOu ■ Id jiJ dramatic art, is susceptible of ay |\jA mountains of proof. GOOD nGVCr Ulv PLAYS NEVER DIE. They go --— into states of coma, and suspended animation that lasts sometimes for years and sometimes for centuries, but if they are good plays they still live and make their appearance at the most unexpected times and under the most unusual circumstances. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE ON THE STAGE TODAY PLAYS THAT WERE SEEN HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO. All Shakespeare was acted before “HIS LIFE Oft MY HONGS’* the death of its author. The plays of Marlow and Lea John son, Shakespearr’f. contempo raries, and of B£arxcr.t and Fletcher, his predecessors, still ~ held the stjMITE IS LIMITS MORE CIRCUMSTAN TIAL THAN THOSE THAT INCLUDE THE -CENTURIES, IT IS POSS-H.i TQ FIND PLAYS THAI DAVE LIVED LONG AND PROSPERED. “Richelieu,” “The Lriy of Lycr-s.” ' The.Twc Orphans,” “ilente Cristo,” “Unde Tom’s Cabin,” who rhall say that they have net proved their worth bv long life. TEEN THERE “IS THE HIDDEN HAND”. WHICH WILL BE SEEN IN TOWN BEFORE MANY DAYS, and which is one of the best of modem dramas. It has been played so often that it is hard tohrealize that it is not older than it is. It will not die, it has real human blood in its veins and cannot die. “The Hidden Hand” is one of those successful dramas of the season, which in this day of froth and folly on the stags, affords an evening’s entertainment which agnsrls to all lowers of all that is be:: in dramatic‘art. The piecq is one of there an. iatic stories in which the people portray a plain country folk, -tlwrv r so interesting when faithfully produced on ti e stags. “The Hidden Hand” a3 it will be | seen here, is said to be sc realistic P - t"SBI ri a w tnat one can almost imagine J aggl pi oneself sniffing the ozone of the jj i UL a Ln I Blue Ridge mountains, and L‘ - .. listening to the quaint manners of speech of the pc, tie, both white and black of Old Virginia. It is one of those NATURAL PLAYS THAT HAS NO WICKED WOKEN WITH PAINTED FACES AND WHITEWASHED CAREERS, n» loathsome men of objectionable sins, nor any shocking episodes. “Your Money’s Worth or Ydur Money Back.” USUAL PRICES WILL PREVAIL.
