The democrats are well satisfied with the result of the first registration for a city primary Monday though they did not spare any efforts to see that all possible Mragylers were lined up for the second day of registration Tuesday. Various estirmurs of the percentage of the democratic vote that is now iceorded on the books v.t-rr made, most of th-m ranging around ninety per rent, or better. This indicates two thing.- spontaneous interest in the coming campiign and a widespread appreciation of its importance, and second, the fact of a good organization working v eil and unitedly. To some, people the word "organization" has come to hae a harsh sound, and to be co-rel.itf d somehow with "machines" and "bosses". And yet no conspicuous success luus ew-r bei.n secured or maintained at any time by any Political party without an organization. There might indeed be rases, and undoubtedly are, at long intervals when the general sentiment of any community is aroused at blood heat and

every voter 1n the community is so deeply

issue that he doesn't need any organization to spur him to his duty.

ion is necessary to all parties-. Some of the best intentioned men

means keeping a poll book in each precinct and a list of the members of the j

party as they hie in to the registration or voting booth. It means following up the late comers as the hour of closing nears or checking up those who have failed to put in an appearance and jogging their memory by telephone

Organization at Washington means a congress in which several hundred nen from even,- part of the country, of every shade of opinion, moved by ountless influences, subject to a hundred sources of pressure, work together, ubordlnating petty differences. approximating the greater ones to ring forth a currency bill or a tariff bill that will meet the expectations of

r he country as a whole.

The democratic party has learned the value of organization, of working ogethcr. from top to bottom. Next year we elect an entire new house of cpresntatives and one-third the membership of the senate. Democratic suecsss In South Hend this fall will help democratic success in the district and ho state next fall. A party election, be it for president or mayor, is equally a call on the

nernbership of the party to stand together and work together for the comnon good, for the 'underlying principles that have brought these millions of

nen from Portland to Portland together under the broad banner of democacy rule by the people.

)irvi:ixp.Mi;NTs or tin; takii-t liAW. In the flood of thing to occupy the ttention of the public during the conideration of the tariff bill many inTesting details were unavoidably verlooked. One by one these are. ow coming to the surface in the aplication of the law. In our editorial of Monday morning n the interpretation of the new law he discovery of surprises was forehadowed. Already one has develpcd. It pertains to the construction ) be placed by the treasury departtent on the provision allowing a live er cent rebate on imports shipped in merican bottoms. The question has een raised as to how far this cause ill conflict with existing treaties. It ill be the duty of the treasury deartment to Uis' ovcr. It is diilicult in the multiplicity of ws and treaties to prevent tme from erlapplng on the other. Thas is k here it becomes necessarv to interret and construe the meaning of the ew law. as to whether it repeals an lder law or abrogates an existing reaty, or as to whether its enforceient may be so modified as not to inrfere. The treasury department anil 3 legal advisers are apt to have a usy time until they succeed in raighter.ing all the entanglement. Few, perhaps, had noticed that the resent president of the United State? nd members of the supreme court re exempt from the income tax. hi se exemptions were not made as rsonal favors to Pies. Wilson and ;e present incumbents of the su--eme beneh. The contingency was ovided for when the constitution of e United Sies was adopted. The constitution provides that the esident shall rccche a "compensawnich shall neither be increased ! r diminished during the period for hich he shall ha e bt-en elected", d that the judges shall receive a ompensatiou which shall not be liInished tluring their continuannce in ice". This exempts Pres. Wilson for s first term, but should he be reacted he will bo subject to the inme tax, as will his succe.or, and . .i J..WK.-.- wi u. M-i'innr i o,;i , .

These complaints were made by Mr. Osborne Immediately on his emergence from the prison when he was in noithr mental nor nhvairal condition . , , to give them the emphasis and elaboration which he will attach to them later. Thev are sufficient in their i present form, however, to show that the prison system a exemplified at Auburn is at variance yin the modern reform idea. From the instances quoted the system may well be designated p.s unintelligent, inefficint and cruel. Fortunately Auburn is not a model for other prisons. More humane rules and customs have been introduced in other prisons and the investigation by Mr. Osborne will help improve conditions at Auburn. In this progressive age no system can stand against such j damaging charges. The modern idea is that offenders are sent to prison to be taught the error of their ways and for the protection of the public while their reformation is in progress. The question of punishment is practically eliminated except so far as confinement is a f :enaU The minor offender and i criminal are believed capable of learn,M,or w.ftvi nf tivin- m n ,1 :ire held I v. - I until tluy do, subject to the limita tions of their sentences. 1 MIT ATI NG rPIUMIT I 'IZ MAN. A Roston artist has proved beyond question that primitive man had nothing on the modern type in the matter n;t arms or implements of any kind sixtv davs aco and has come out' clothes, well fed and supplied with all necossart utensils for preserving hi n a primitive state. The experiment Vas interesting and uiuable to the extent that someone iniht rind himself involuntarily in the predicament in which the Roston artiH placed himself and the value would then be discounted by the indiiduals lack of adaptation. The Roston ar-

list was a skilled woodsman, versed in the methods of the trapper and hunter. He m.ide weapons of Hint and killed sufficient game to provide food and clothe himself in deerskins. In this respect he is perhaps on person in ten thousand. The great majority would die of starvation or exposure or both. The limit in resources of the average, individual would be to pick a few berries, which mitfht sustain life for a short time. Hp knows nothing about plant life, or the habits of the animals and birds of the wild. There would be an abundance of food about him without a bite to eat. It would not be prudent for the average individual to attempt the experiment without a rescue party near at hand ready to respond to the first call for help.

Those who rrtvy the leisure hours of the farmer may be surprised to learn that his average work day is f . C . hours long. In the days of the farmer's grandfather the day was 1.1 to 16 hours long. To this extent the farmer has been emancipated by modern machinery. Pres. Wilson was not so cold blooded, that he failed to go to the hospital and comfort the little boy who was run down by his motor car by assuring hin, that he would rot lose his job. Henry H.irke, the "Spercer" of the Rexroat tragedy, may not be the demon he Messes to be. but he is sufficiently a demon to make his future care and custody a matter of prudence. Ripping plumage from women's hats is another way the customs olfivet.' uie in midw HiK i nr III null iney are not privileged characters except in their own homes. Now that Uncle Sam's attention has been ca'.ld to lottery gambling in Porto Rico he will regard it his duty as a high moral force to suppress it. It is encouraging to learn from the federal bureau of labor that the working conditions of men and women ate improving. There is ample room. Sen. Morris is authority for the statement that the currency bill will create a gieat political machine. It seems impossible for these old political machinists to see anything but cogs. ; And Mr. Harnes intimates that Col. Roosevelt lied when he said that he lied. But why should we worry? Forget to register? Too bad your estimate of the value of your citizenship was so low. Perhaps Hies are less dangerous now than in hot weathj' but the weather will not always be coed. How the Mexicans get the money i to buy the ammunition to kill each other with is becoming a mystery. i'c ' ' V v v 'r e t r 't v 'e A l MARRIED LIFE THE FIRST YEAR AFTER THE HONEYMOON By Mabel Herbert Urncr.

"P.ut " "Oh, now, don't begin to find excuses. It will do you good. I tell you. It's time you were getting out some." It ended by their hurrying through dinner.

"Now. ir anything should happen, or go wrong, you are to telephone at once to the theater, as I told you. I've written down the number on this card, and I'll put it here over the telephone.

"And then you " "Hurry up, there!" came from the front room where Warren was waiting impatiently. "It's ten minutes to eight now." "Yes, I know I'm almost ready." and then to Marie: "When ybu take her up. be sure to support her back in your hand as I've shown you. You must be very careful about that I've told you so many times and yet the other day I saw you " "Yes. yes. in just a moment." Then to Marie. "And be sure to keep her feet warm.

"Well, it's asleep now, and it'll probably sleep till we get back. Now are you ready?" "All but my gloves." searching hurriedly through her top bureau drawer. It was after eight when they final

MARY GLYNN AND NOGGS. Here you see pretty Mary Glynn,' who plays the part of leading lady at the Comedy theater in London. She is 13 years old. That's pretty young to be playing the principal part in a play, isn't it? On the stage she seems quite grown up. .o one would" think she ever wore her hair down her back or ROMPED and PLAYED! Hut that is where Mary tricks the public! As a"matter of fact, "Iady Noggs" as she is called in the role she now plays, spends just as much time as she can playing. Some afternoons, when she Isn't studying or rehearsing, she gets a whole group of smaller children around her and then announces n game. nn I iw.f IP! 'I Thank the Lord I have my work!

Helen insisted on stopping to leave their name and the. location of their scats with the man at the ticket window. "And if anyone should telephone you will semi the usher for us -at once?" she demanded anxiously. The man nodded indifferently and turned to the party behind her, who were asking for orchestra seats." "Third row of the balcony--noth-ing down stairs." Helen turned away reluctantly. "Oh. do vou suppose he will remember he seemed to pay so little attention. Hadn't you better speak to him again?" Hut Warren dragged her on impatiently. "Can't you .see how late we are?" The theater was darkened and the curtain wen; up as they entered. The usher finally took their tickets and led them stumbling down the aisle. Their tieats were in the center of the row and half a dozen people had to be disturbed before they could be reached. The men stood up. the women, with ill-concealed impatience, clutched at their hats on their laps, and drew back their skirts. "This comes, cf your making us 'late," Warren whispcrea angri'y. "Having to crawl all over those people!" "Hush-sh-sh dear, don't", laying a conciliatory hand on his arm. Just then a very pretty girl rushed on the stage and Warren's attention was for the moment diverted. After the first act, while ,Warrcn was trying to figure out the characters on the program, Helen asked anxiously. "Don't you think that you'd better go out and see if she has telephoned? I don't think that the man paid any attention to what I said. Perhaps if you'd ask message him if there has been any 'Crawl over these people again rsot ir i Know it on "Rut. Warren, suppose she has telephoned suppose something should have happened? Marie's a new nurse girl you know, and I don't feel quite " "Well, what on earth could have happened u e haven't been gone forty-five minutes! Here, do you want a drink?" as the boy came by with the glasses of water in a wire basket. Helen shook her head. . She told hee'f that, perhaps, she was foolish to worry about the baby but somehow she couldn't help it. "Not a bail show," Warren commented easily. "That man's a duffer, but the girl is pretty good." Helen assented absently. In the second act the serious illness of a child was referred to the child whose death In the third act was to reunite the parents. The applause had V:'rdly died out after the curtain when she turned to Warren nervously. "Oh, you must go now! If there isn't any message call up Marie and find out if everything is all right." "I tell you. Helen, I'm not going to crawl over those people again!" "Then I'll have to go myself. I can't

"Why did you come then if you want to be flying to the 'phone every five minutes." "Why, you insisted on my coming." "Weil, I'm damn sorry 1 did if it is going to be like this." "Now, don't please don't be .cross! It's the first time I left her and you know I can't help being anxious!" In the end he went, apologizing to the people over whose laps he stumbled, and who glared at him coldly. He returned just as the bell buzzed for the curtain. "Well?" she whispered eagerly. They Didn't Answer. "Couldn't get any answer to the 'phone?" excitedly. "No, guess the nurse girl has gone to sleep. That means the baby's asleep, too." "Oh, something elreadful has happened that's why you didn't get an answer to the 'phone! My baby may be kidnaped for all you know." She was gathering up her wraps from the back of the seat. "I'm going home now do you iiilnk I can sit here when I don't know where my baby is?" The curtain went up here and he caught her arm and held her firmly in her seat. "You are going to stay right here, if you haven't a particle of common sens? I'll have to have it for you, that's all. Now you're not going nowhere until the end of this play." There was a note of finality in his voice that Helen had learned it was useless to combat. But to her the half hour of that last act seemed an eternity. She had her hat on before the curtain fell, and was making her way out before the crowd was fairly on its feet. Warren followed frowning grimly. But unheeding, him. Qhe pushed her way through to'the nearest side exit. Ordinarily her sense of economy kept her from taxicabs even when Warren suggested them, and now she turned to him uith a peremptory: "Oet a taxicab it will be quicker." W.th a grumbled comment about "all women being fools", lie motioned to a cab across the street. In a few moments they were whirling towards home.

No answer. , She rushed into the nursery. There was Marie sound asleep, her hand resting cn the chair and with the baby also jislcep in the crib beside her. After a Ions breathless look, Helen
