more and then some It was the lat ter Conan success that Pine Bluff theatergoers set their lamps on last night at the Elks Theater. The ob- seryanCe of Lent possibly had some thing to dc with the fact that the playhouse was not crowded to the 'hree walls, but he house was fairly filled and there were no disappoint- ments. If there were. the disappeint cd ones ought to have gone to a re vival meeting instead of the show It was typical Conan show That $ epough.

They are always good, when they are Cohan- esque and the Talk of New York" carried out the Cohan idea SO well that had it been turned out" from the Cohen Manufacturing Com pany. public demand would now be working the factory overtime
 Victor Moore helps do it, too. It was the first glimpse local theater goers ever had of this little fat. good natured, clever comedian and let $ hope it will not be the last. To see Moore in the role of Kid Burns" in this play makes one understand why he was so popular in Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway, when he appeared as Kid Burns, the slangv chap from New Rochelle Moore can not sing. His voice is full of squeaks and cracks. but there is something about him that makes you like it and like the star. He is stage wit and his at homeness" before the footlights adds to his attractiveness Hes funny. He's clever. We'll. he just can't be heat in the part framed for him by Conan. Without Conan to write his plays Moore would be un- heard of. Without Moore Cohan s Kid Burns" would probably not have attained so much fame.

 Better individual voices have been heard here. but the chorus as a whole in the Conan show of last evening is in keeping with all the big musical productions of the Cohan type.

DON'T READ PAPERS
 DURING LINT
Episcopal Ministers Disagree With
 Bishop Who Advises None he Read.

Pittsburs, Feb 9-Episcopal min isters of the Pittsburg diocese are at variance with Bishop Conrtlandt Whitehead over his views, alleged to be expressed in a sermon last Sun day in New York City. The bishop said:
 would advise you all to do with out newspapers during the Lonten period and to replace their scandals and masses of ill-assorted informa- tion with more edifying works.
 \ number of clcreymen published statements in which they disagree with the bishop and several say that they will not give such advice from the pulpit.
 Rev A w Arundel, pastor of the Trinity church, one of the most in- fluential and wealthicst in the dio- ecse, is quoted as saving:
 certainly would not advise my parishoners not to read the neWspa- pers during Lent. Reading neWspa- pers is like eating; We cannot d. without either. believe such advice would be ridiculous .
 Rev, David F. Ferris of CalvnN church said:
 Its all rot. I cannot believe tho bishop said it. I am sure no othel Episcopalian clergyman of this cit, would hold such an opinion.
 Ten other ministers also took pub lie exception to the bishops alleged advice.

PROPOSED NEW
LAW FOR PAVING
N. B. Culbert Enters Protest
and Recalls his Experiences
With Old Regulation

Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL: Having read very carefully in
recent issues of local papers Mr.,
Banning's article on street paving at
the expense of abutting property own
ers, / acknowledge the force Of his
arguments in every instance.
My experience takes me through one
phase of the paving question Which
Banning does not bring out. / had
paved streets in front Of my property
under the old law which required
abutting property owners to pave the
streets. This property was on East
Fourth street, and the street was
paved under the old law requiring the
property owners to pave In front Of
their property. ! paid at the rate
OF S4.10 per foot | was honest in
the matter and abided by the law pay
ing the paving bill as stated at the
rate of S4.1O per foot Other prop
erty owners refused or neglected to
pay for their paving and the law was
afterward repealed also wiping out
the liens OF those who had not paid.
My money, although application was
mada for its return was never re-
turned.
For years SINCE paying this money
/ have been paying full rate tax, keep
! ing up the interest on bond issues and
helping to pay off bond issues. Now
if the proposed bill is enacted, | shall
not only have to continue to pay of
the bond issues and interest, which
have been issued for other peoples
benefit, but will have TO pay for my
own paving. From my experience,
what guarantee have / that this bill
after 1 do pay for paving under it,
will be repealed and again go through
the experience of double taxation.
protest against such a change, which,
I'm my case, consider very unjust to
me, and | hope such a law will never
pass and will do all / can to defeat
It.
have also read with interest Mr..
Brinckles letter and think that while
he is stating that he has paid taxes
for so many years that he should be
fair to the public and state to. them
that he has paid taxes at half rate
only and still continues to do so, ex-
cept in the case of one lot assessed
at $500.
Yours truly,
N. B. Culbert.
