lished In Washington one year ago by
Edmund Hudson, with the Endorsement OF
many Of The groat leaders OF the party, has
entered upon Its second year with q circula-
ton OF 40 900 copies each week. This il

long remained untitled. 1t gives q complete
record OF political information including the
most important speeches that are delivered
by democratic leaders In congress and on the

fade. hut the impression that she Is an ami
mated work Of art takes strong hold upon the
mind. The recent appearance IN Little Rock,
OF Miss Moore. was greeted by ut first an
enthusiastic and then by a speIl.pound audi
ence. The art with which she portrays the
inrocf nee OF y suddenly created being Is ex-
ceedingly tiae. and the dramatic power to
which she arises Just before returning to
