Keep Your Eyes on That Voting Machine Proposition Don't think for one minute that the voting machine proposition is dead forever. Don't feel for a second that you, Mr. Citizen, can now proceed to forget that the question of voting machines was ever raised in Wayne county. The situation is this, namely, that the ordinance that was passed by less than the legally required majority by the county council the first of the week is no longer operative. Another ordinance might be drafted and passed to take the place of the one just lost. A majority of the county commissioners might ask the county council for another appropriation and the required majority of five members of the seven might vote to pass such a special ordinance at a special session of the council. In that case the cause of the people, who are simply asking for delay and investigation, would be lost. So keep alive and be awake. Let the members of the county council and the board of commissioners know that you, the citizens, want this question thrashed out in the open ; that you want a full investigation; that you want no star chamber sessions; that your voices have more right to be heard than those of Davis, Freeman, Nicholson or special committee members of the Commercial Club Haas. The Palladium today publishes a complete analysis of the costs of holding registrations and elections under the present Australian ballot system with 66 precincts and with the voting maChines in 28 precincts. THE PALLADIUM CLAIMS TO PROVE., THAT THE COST OF THE MACHINE SYSTEM WILL BE MORE THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE PRESENT SYSTEM. The Palladium will shortly publish the results of the investigation now going on in the State of Illinois as to voting machines. This investigation has been replate with statements about the voting machine interests offering large sums of money for influential support for getting their machines to supplant the old voting system there. It has been marked by charges, claimed to have been substantiated, of crookedness on the part of the machines in that they can be manipulated and votes lost or stolen. Let us get all this information before the public before we adopt voting machines in Wayne county. For many of us, our votes are our most precious possession. They are our only weapons in the great fight going on in this republic against the powerful, corrupt and degrading money power. Where the criminal millionaire fights us with all the power of concentrated dollars we fight back with all the power of concentrated votes. AND THE VOTES, IF HONESTLY COUNTED, ARE GOING TO VANQUISH AND OVERTHROW THE DOLLARS OF THE MONEY POWER. , IF THE MACHINES CAN BE MANIPULATED THEN THE DOLLARS WIN OUT. Under the Australian ballot system where every recognized party has its watchers present when the votes are counted and the two dominant parties provide the clerks and judges and sheriffs, there is such a division of interests that the chances for manipulation are minimized. With the machines doing the voting and the counting as well, out of sight of everyone, those chances, we contend, are not so small. So help us fight for delay. Help us get time for a complete investigation. The Palladium will make an investigation that is an investigation. It will not accept this or that man's statement simply because he is a pleasant gentleman or happens to be a county officer in some boss's bailiwick. It will go to the root of the whole question and the evidence it presents will be conclusive enough for all who care to form a logical and honest opinion of the merits or drawbacks to voting machines.

A R

eunion

of S

urvivors

Says the Muncie Press, hide-bound Republican standpat organ: At the last general election the "progressives" cast approximately 1,900 votes in the city of Anderson. After weeks of animated discussion, with daily exhortation by the local organ of the party, with an acrimonious fight for the mayoralty nomination participated in by five candidates the "progressives" got out S54 votes for mayor at their primary of Saturday. The vote on mayor was higher than on that for any other office. The total vote for city clerk was 651, for councilman at large, 659. The Palladium would call Editor Lockwood's attention to the Republican city nominating convention, held last evening. It was attended by 150 survivors of an organization which once polled over 3,000 votes in this city and proudly, haughtily selected its nuinicyjal .tickets at pri

mary elections as a display of strength for the benefit of the trembling opposition. Editor Lockwood should also know that Republican City Chairman Iliff frankly announced last evening that a nominating convention had been held because there was only one candidate for each office. He will be further interested, no doubt, in the information that Mayor Zimmerman, sounding the keynote of his umpteenth campaign for re-election, began with an apology for the "star chamber" system of government introduced during his present administration.

Shades of the past recall, if you can, another time when places on a Republican city ticket in Richmond attracted one lonely candidate for each! The gods should weep!

HU3IAN FLESH A DELICACY TO A LION

Theodore Roosevelt, In Seribner's Magazine. Man-eating lions have always been fairly common in East Africa. The most noted, but far from exceptional, case was that of the two man-eaters which for a time stopped the building of the Uganda railroad by their ravages among the workmen, until they were finally shot by the engineer in charge, Mr. (afterward Colonel) Patterson. Another lion, after killing several men around a station on the railroad, carried off and ate the superintendent of the division. The latter had come down in his private car, which was run on a siding, and he sat up at a window that night to watch for the lion, but he fell asleep, and the lion climbed on the platform, entered the car by the door, and carried off his would-be slayer through the window. In the summer of 1909 a couple of man-eating lions took to infesting the Masai villages on the plains around the headwaters of the Guaso N'yiro west of Kenia, and by their ravages forced the Masai to abandon the district, and the native travel routes across it were also temporarily closed. A few weeks later I was hunting in the district. We kept the thorn boma round our camp closed at night, with a fire burning and askaris on guard, and were not molested. Near Machakosboma a white traveler was taken out of his tent by a man-eater one night, a good many years ago. A grewsome feature of the incident was that on its first attempt the lion was driven off, after having seized and wounded its victim. The wounds of the latter were dressed, and he was again put to bed, but soon after

he had been left alone the lion again forced his way into

the tent and this time carried the man off and ate him. Every year in East Africa natives are carried off from

their villages or from hunting camps by man-eating lions. Occasionally one hears of man-eating leopards, which usually confine themselves to women and children, and there are man-eating hyenas; but the true man-eaters of

East Africa are lions and crocodiles.

TOO FINE FOR MORTAL EAR

"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter," sang a poet, well; And somewhere in Arabia lives a bird Whose little throat seems evermore to swell With music while the tender golden tongue Throbs in the parted beak as if he sung; Yet ne'er by sound the brooding air is stirred Save on almond trees she folds her wings; Yet men do follow her and cry: "She sings! Yea. always sings, had we ears to hear;" And when across the vacant morning clear Her rare and rapturous melody she flings. "Ah, God!" they cry, low listening 'neath her tree, "How ravishing sweet the unheard note must be."

LOOK TO THE SHOES NOW. Springfield Republican. X-ray shoes are to come next, but after what we havo seen this not alarming intelligence. It is carrying the principle to extremities rather than to extremes.

GREAT ISSUE. Philadelphia North American. About the only real issue we can see for Mr. Taft if he is nominated for Governor of Connecticut is Aunt Delia's Torrington pies.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE. St. Louis Globe Democrat. What chiefly ails the initiative and referendum is that it permits an insignificant minority to inflct an electon on the majorty.

BUT BARKIS HUERTA ISN'T WILLIN'. Kansas City Journal. President Wilson's Mexican policy is of the Macawber kind. He is simply waiting now for something to turn up, preferably Huerta's toes.

At the Gennett Tonight Minstrel show. Monday, Sept. 8. "The Havoc."

Murrette. Today the Murrette offers a feature production, "The Pit and the Pendlum," adapted from Edgar A!In Poe's famous novel. Without doubt this picture has one of the most interesting stories for a foundation that has been filmed recently. Reading the story holds one almost spellbound during the entire time, and the picture should not fail to do likewise. Other pictures to be seen today are "The Awakening of a Man," a two reel Edison feature, and '"Baby Elephant," a Vitagraph comedy, make up a bill of excellence.

Broncho headliner, being the feature. It is one of those western dramas which the Broncho company has made famous by the snap and life they inject into their stories. A Thanhouser comedy. "Frazzled Finance," is a story that brings forth rounds of laughter, and is well presented by those talented Thanhouser players. Also is shown "The Trade Secret." a Majestic drama, featuring Marguerite Loveridee and Lamar Johnson. Sunday another of those Keystone farces, "Fatty's Day Off." with an American and a Majestic film to complete the bill.

The Havoc. Paul Gilmore's associate players come to the Gennett theatre. Monday, September 8, for their first appearance in H. S. Sheldon's powerful play, "The Havoc." It had a year's run in New York. "The Havoc" is a satiric restatement of the dramatic triangle, and one that wings barbed shafts of satire against the erotic preachments dissemiuated by advocates of so-called advanced ideas. Its chief character is a wronged husband, who checks his impulse to appeal to the unwritten law arid pretends to accept the cynical philosophy of his wronger. He carries the code of a treacherous guest to its grimly logical conclusion, consummating a revenge far more crushing than one of his own immediate execution. In the development of this theme the author employs biting irony that shapes a really big story into a brilliant sardonic comedy. No other play produced by the Paul Gilmore company has earned such remarkable tributes as those elicited by "The Havoc." It has to its credit the universal praise of the New York and Chicago critics. In fact, of the entire United States and Canada.

The Battle. The Francis Sayles players will offer "The Battle" at the Murray theatre tonieht for the last time. The play has made a big success in Richmond and the theatre has been filled at each performance. It is one of the biggest plays of the season and the production alone is worth the price of admission, and no doubt the theatre will be packed again tonight.

MRS. WARBINTON ENTERTAINS CLUB

A Little Brother of the Rich. For their nineteenth week, starting Monday, September 8, at the Murray theatre, the Francis Sayles players will offer a satirical comedy In four acts, "A Little Brother or the' Rich." by Joseph Medill Patterson, author of the "Fourth Estate," etc. "A Little Brother of the Rich" was first produced at the Astor theatre in New York, by the Liebler company, and had a run of one entire season, also a long run in both Boston and Chicago. The play was only last week released for stock, and Mr. Sayles was one of the first stock managers to secure it. A novelty will be introduced in the last act, when the curtain goes up on a bare stage and the entire stage force is seen making ready for the final act. There are many of the theatre-goers in this city who have never seen a stage set for a performance, so no doubt this will be a novelty.

Minstrels Tonight. Neil O'Brien and his Great American Minstrels, will be the attraction at the Gennett theatre tonight, presenting for his second annual pilgrimage a brand new entertainment from the first part to concluding features. Encouraged by the brilliant success and .wonderful favor with which his first season's tour was greeted, Mr. O'Brien promises many loyal admirers a performance of minstrelsy this season even more classy, refined and enjoyable than the splendid show of last year, which at the time was conceded to be almost perfection in minstrel production. With a complete new outfit of scenery, wardrobe and paraphernalia, almost an entire new roster of singers, dancers and comedians, two new comedy acts by Neil O'Brien and a big new dancing feature staged by Pete Detzel, the O'Brien show evidently intends to live up to its promise of presenting "eeverything new" each year. Several of those in last year's company who made prominent hits have been retained. Notably popular are Eddie Mazier, the jovial rotund end man and comedian, whose infectious humor still lingers in one's memory; Pete Detzel, the eccentric dancer; also diminutive Major Nowak, Al Fontaine, the basso. Walter Lindsey, the impersonator of feminine characters, little George Hagen, the boy contra-tenor, George Faust and Doran & Strong, all of whom are now identified with this attraction. There are many new faces, both among principals and chorus. Ward Barton, the yodler, Joe Carey, tenor, Arthur Blake, baritone, and O'Donnell Clarke, baritone, are among the new soloists. The special orchestra of fourteen musicians will again be under the direction of Frank Fuhrer, who will also direct the big gold and silver band of twenty-five instrumentalists. This latter will be a big feature with the show this season.

Miss Leroy's Picture Thursday. ' The Thursday matinees at the Murray are getting to be very popular, as each week some member of the company's picture is given away, and each week their friejids are packing this popular little play house to get one of the pictures. If you attend the matinee on Thursday you will soon have a collection of each member of the company. Next Thursday after the performance of "A Little Brother of the Rich," a post card picture of Miss Leroy will be given away, and the following week a picture of Mr. Runyon, then Miss Eyferth, Mr. Flynn and the balance of the company.

A motor driven machine, operated by one man. has been inv nted to harvest sugar cane and deliver it ready for the mill.

New Juvenile Man. Hal Worth, the new juvenile man of the Francis Sayles players, wilt arrive from Kansas City Monday to start rehearsing for "Wildfire," which this company will offer all week, starting Monday, September 15. Mr. Worth is an actor of great experience and will no doubt become very popular with the theatre-goers of Richmond.
