A very few years ago the amusement loving public was bewildered when it heheld living moving pictures. With the march of invention and progress it is now enabled to hear them actually talk and sing--to witness a scene on 8 mimic stage where life size characters Tn vaudeville, operatic or dramatic en- tcrtainment perform the entire action with the finest of voices, enuneiation and the cream of dialects when re- quired. In fact, give performances in which the voice of the performer is not only as good as his acting, but better.
 And this mystery is being daily and nightly performed in a hundred cities from Maine to California, from the Great lakes to the gulf.
 It is no longer an inventor's dream, but the tremendously commercial reali. zation of one. A young Oregonian, James A. Whitman, is the inventor who dreamed, and the Cameraphone com, pany, a very big corporation, is the genius whose wand of gold is making . the dream a commercial reality, living thing that "talks for itself" The magic workshop is the Cameraphone building, big plant with 50,000 square feet of working floor space at Eleventh avenue and Forty-third street, in the great city of commercial marvels, New York.
 The inventor dreamed his dream more than two years ago and had tho tradi tionsl period of difficulties and obsta. cles to pass through. Today he is the chief executive of one of the most won. derful enterprises in the amusement world. Its gigantic possibilities can on- " be dimly perceived at present. Like all real inventors, he "builded better than he knew.' Let us see how. The tremendous effectiveness, the revolu- ;ionary nature of motion picture exhi- bitions in which every character, with moving lips, gesture, action and facial expression talks and sings his or her part, is instantly evident. The perfect illusion of actual life, of talking, breathing flesh and blood is there, com. pared with which the silent motion pie. lures, even those of the finest film- makers of the world, seem like statues or automatons.

Business Men for Taft.

Taft Is the business mans choice
for President.
This Is no partisan opinion. 1t Is
q fact deduced from the canvass made
by American Industries, the magazine
published by the National Association
of Manufacturers. The association
comprises 5000 members representing
more or less important industries scat
tered all over the country; and from
North and South, from East and West,
comes in the view that trade condi-
tons are improving and that they viii
continue to improve if Taft j. elected.
The business man has faith in Taft.
He believes the Republican candidate
for President TO be progressive vet rea-
sonable right though radical He does
not hesitate to declare his conviction
that under Taft things will move in
the right direction. And what the
business man thinks is worthy of the
most serious consideration. Upon the
prosperity of the business man depends
not only the welfare OF the worker
but the success of a host of incidental
enterprises, mostly educational and
philanthropic, which have much to do
with the progress of civilization.
On the canvass made among the man
ufacturers of the country American In
dustries reports in its latest issue as
follows:
The consensus Of opinion is that
the election of Mr. Taft and the con
seQuent return OF confidence viii re-
suit in a steady increase of business
throughout the United States.
Nor is the prospect Of honest and
thorough tariff reform grinning specter-
like upon the situation, as some have
tried to make Us believe it would. Says
the president of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers. James w. Van
CIcave:
Let Il he remembered that in the
shape in which IL presents itself tariff
adjustment viii cause no peTCeDtfble
halt in the revival OF trade. BY its
platform and by the repeated promises
OF Its candidate. the dominant party
IS pledged to revision. Just as 7 have
urged for years past, and as the Ma
toual Association of Manufacturers
has urged, the revising is TO be done
by an extra session OF Congress. Just
rs soon as the new President enters
Office in March. 1909 The adjustments
VIII be done IN the interest of the
American manufacture. the American
worker, and the American consumer
and not in the interest OF the manu-
facturers and workers Of Great Brit
ain, Germany, Japan, and the rest of
Europe and Asia.
The business man, generally speak
ing, viii vote for Taft. He viii not
vote as a partisan, for he has no reason
TO expect special favors from a Taft
Administration; but he viii vote for
Taft because he knows very well that
his prosperity and that of all others en-
gagged in business enterprises is more
likely to be brought back and kept firm
by the practical methods represented
by Taft than the loose and shifting
methods represented by Bryan.

Echoes From Tokyo.

"Banzai'-a thousand years-is not
the only echo which reaches the Amer
lean Capital from the capital of Japan.
The NIikado sat at table with no
king but the commanding officer of

the ship commanders alternated around
the board with the most distinguished
naval warriors Of Japan. The Empress
made a new precedent by greeting all

the only danger was that the cam

What makes a reception a great sue

Our Women IdleOr Wrongly Busy?

Apostolic Delegate FalcOnio. in re-
cent address in St. Louis, is reported to
have said that the American woman
is too idle one way and too busy an
other She doesn't devote enough at
tention to womanly affairs, he added,
and NEEDLES too much with the con
Germs OF others. 81 think he said. in
answer TO a query if, in his opinion,
woman should take more part in public
affairs, 'she should attend to her hus-
bands home and take care of her house
hold and see that the dinner Is well
cooked. If she will see to her own
business and keep busy in the house
she viii be happy"
MonsignOr FalcOniO might have ear
ried his remarks on this head a little
further. The truth Is, as he has prob
ably observed and most of the rest OF
US know, there is no land in the world
IN which the difficulties Of maintaining
a home are greater than in this land
of plenty. One chief reason is that it
is a land of such plenty that tempta-
ton 10 engage in business or employ
ment besets our girls during the lorna
tive period Of life and prevents their
acquiring the tastes, knoWledge. habits
or tendencies involved in homemaking.
When, later on, they feel the effect of
the nervous strain incident to their
employment, they begin too late to
think of matrimony. often not as a
condition in which to create happiness
but rather as a refuge from business
drudgery. They are by that time fire.
quently helpless to do for others-they
must have it done for them.
The home, if such it NAV be called,
in which this type Of woman is the
partner is a fiction. It has rather the
attributes of an encampment--a shelter
TO which adheres no sentiment and a
refuge from which, on every occasion,
both parties seek to escape. Food and
material are bought in the dearest
market, already prepared and served
and correspondingly costly. Waste
want, and anxiety, the result of dis
play and pretense, rule. This is be
cause so many of our girls-and they
deserve to be excused, because the fault
is not tneirs-are forced into these ar
tificiaI, temporarily luxurious but event
ually disappointing lives.
What we need in America Is a re-
turn, so far as possible, TO simplicity II
which the men may work abroad in tho
[ land and the women remain 20 work in
the home. Tt viii require a decided re-
versal of our thoughts and habits to
make such a return possible, but un.
less we have it, American homes, in
cities at least, viii become memories.
