AT SEA OVER PRIMARY BILL
Democrat Undtoidtd whethet to liz on
Corns Bill as a Party If eaiurs,
SOME AR ! , DV1S1NG AGAINST COURSE
Wowld Force ReoeMlcana to Make the
Committee Bill a' Party Measare
and Leave Democrats
Wlthoat Inflaeare.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Ia, Feb. . (SpecUl
Telegram.) At a Joint caucus of the
house and senate democrats this after
noon It was decided to leave to a sub
committee, consisting of Senators Moon
and Lambert and Representatives Da mar,
Schulte and Miller of Bremer, the task of
going over the two primary election bills
now before the legislature, with Instruc
tions to report at a caucus to be railed
next week. An effort was mads to get ths
caucus to unite on a primary measure,
but there was opposition to this. If the
democrats caucus on the measure and
ariopt a party bill It almost surely will be
followed by the republicans doing the
same. The measure would then be passed
by the republicans under party whip, with
the democrats having no voice In fhe
measure whatever. Unless party influence
Is brought to bear It Is believed the vote
of both houses on the primary would not
divide on party lines, as both parties are
divided on the measure. Miller of Bre
mer Is understood to favor a party meas
ure, while Stlrton, Lambert, Whiting,
Demar and others are not ready to dp so.
More Private Appropriations.
At the last session of the general as
sembly the policy was determined upon to
discontinue appropriations for the benefit
of private institutions. For some years
the state has been giving a considerable
amount each year to assist private Insti
tutions that are of a charitable nature,
such as the Benedict home In this city and
some Catholic institutions In Sioux City
and other places. Last session a bill was
passed appropriating money for these to
extend over a period of Ave years, fhe
amount to be less each year, with the un
derstanding that after five years It would
be discontinued. Notwithstanding this.
several appropriation bills are already In
troduced for the benefit of these Institu
tions. Abolish School Treasarers.
Representative Burgesson of Palo Alto
Is preparing a bill to abolish school Treas
urers. He claims they are supernumerary
and entirely unnecessary .and a needless
expense.

The Strength of the Weak'.' and Miss
Florence Roberta ' form a combination
worthy of praise. The play Itself lacks
the delicate touch that marks the master
hand, but Is of value aa exhibiting a
woman's approach to tha ever present ques
tion, to which but one answer has been re
turned as yet. A fine disregard for logic
Is displayed In the main handling of ths
theme. The action Is forced slung the
tines laid down by the authors until the
Impasse Is resched. Confronted 'by the
condition that has defied all writers, as It
haa all mankind, even womanly Intuition
falls, and resort Is had to ths expedient of
death. One had been led to almost hope,
as the story Is developed, that either Miss
Smith or Miss Thompson had evolved
some plan by which the sin might be ex
piated and the aettlemcnt deferred. But
It was not to be. The Inexorable law will
elnlm Its own, and the debt must be paid.
Thla la the only solution they offer. The
drama la finely conceived, and well wrought
out even Its tragic climax coming almost
aa a relief from a situation of such ten
sion that the pistol shot breaks a ailencs
that haa gripped all and under wblrh
nerves are ready to snap,
Owtllne of the Plot.
A young girl la picked up by a man of
means from somewhere. She Is slone In
ths world, and through her necessity sha
submits to him. He sends her to school,
hoping to enjoy In her unfolded woman
hood a return for his Investment. But her
soul developes, and shs revolts at their
relations. Bravely determined to win beck
her life shs exclaims, "The wages of sin
Is not death." and sets about to rehabili
tate herself. Shs writes a book tn which
she telle her experience, publishes It
anonymously, and It Is an Immense success.
A' young man loves her, and after, she has
told him that she is the author of the book
and that It la ths story of her own life,
hs still demands her In marriage. Hs Is
the son of the man who betrayed her. Her
suicide ends the story. i
Play la Smartly Written.
In some parts the play Is smartly written.
Its comedy, and It has quite a bit. Is the
innocent raillery of a lot of girls who are
not yet ail out OI ecnooi, dui wno iiiwii
an Immense amount of worldly wisdom and
discuss in a superior sort of way things of

attains In the scenes of Wie third act, of
which there are three very strong ones.
The character Is remarkably well rounded
out by her, and Is evenly strong and force
ful, and as thoroughly logical ss the situa
tion will permit. Altogether, It deserves
the great praise It has received In unbroken
chorus throughout the land.
Snpnort la Excellent.
Mr. Kent snd Mr. Bergen, as the father
and son, afford fine assistancs to Klis
Roberts, sustaining themselves well. Mr.
Henderson Is capital in the role of a
bounder w hose effort to expose the girl ho
pretends to love is defeated by her own
cleverness and candor. The girls are types
and are perfectly done. Miss Atlen scored
one of the hits of the evening, while Miss
Manola, Miss Bertrsnd and Miss Cannon
share with her In the success of tholi
scenes. Miss Robinson says "Lewis Quarli"
and "Honey swat" and similar things In n
delightfully droll way and adds greatly Id
the humor of the piece. It la beautifully
staged and perfectly enacted.
Miss Roberts was greeted last night by
much the largest audience she haa ever
faced In Omaha. It waa enthusiastic, too,
to the extent of several calls at the close
of each act, and even went so far as to
Interrupt the progress of the play several
times to express Its approval of senti
ment or action expressed. New York hav
ing accepted Miss Roberts, there Is no
longer any reason why Omaha should not,
and the matinee this afternoon and the
performance this evening should be wit
nessed by large audiences. If the merit of
the company Is to have any Influence.
