WHY THE WIND
IS PHOTOGRAPHED

what makes the wind blow so
much in the moving pictures?"
The question is asked by almost
every one who has been bitten by
the bug of the moving picture
show. 1t is fact that in every
see ne where there is half a chance
of getting up a breeze it blows a
tornado, or at least a bri.k gale
disports itself in the trees in the
background and the skirt of the
harassed heroine in the front. A
moving picture man solved the
problem.
That's easy"hc replied in answer
to query. eff the pictures were
taken when the air was prefcctly
still then if the living characters
happ eneG to be still also the
pictures would be as dead looking
as 35-cent chrome of Twilight. "
So time is selected for photo
ghaphing the scenes outside when
the wind is playing old hob with
things generally, trees swaying
and skirts futtering and hair
flying haven't you noticed how
much more effective a woman, is
when her hair is streaming behind
her like the burgee on racing
yacht? Then, too, when every
things busy moving it looks like
there's something doing all around.

There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it
q local disease and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catsrrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactur-
ed by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

MEASURING MEN

Senator Culberson of Texas is
reputcd to have expressed the
opinion that Champ Clark would
be the strongest man to bear the
standard of democracy in 1912.
This has set many newspapers to
making estimates of Mr.. Clark in
that connection.
Our thought is. he is more COM
parable to the late President Nc
Kinley as he was when a member
of congress than any other public
man whom we can call to mind.
Handsom g, genial natural gentle
man under all conditions; always
courteous and obliging; never
Extensively aggressive; honest--very
like, though with a much keener
sense of humor. than Mr.. Nc
Kinely possessed. Just about as
gifted a speaker as was Mckinley;
like Mckinley much loved by his
friends with q host of friends in
his train.
Speak ing of friends Mr.. Clark
has the same faculty of drawing
personal friends from the opposite
party that Mr.. Mckinley had. In
this respect Mr.. Clark may be con-
trasted. as was Mr.. Mckinley with
President Harrison. Mr.. Clark has
now, as had Mr.. Mckinley in his
life time two friends to General
Harrison's one; solely because the
General was destitute of he
magnetism Of the others and had,
moreover a shy way with him,
which must have been in his case,
prenatal, for it was often the
case that he repealed men, whom
he sincerely desired to draw to
him.
But when it comes to statesman
ship, to a profound intellect, which
could grasp great question at a
glance and analyze it's component
parts and estimate its full merits
neither. William Mckinley nor
Champ Clark can be considered in
his class. At least Mckinley can
not be; Mr.. Clark may not yet
have reached the measure of his
power. or at least of his confidence
in himself.
As we look over the record
President Benjamin Harrison takes
on larger and larger proportions.
When nominated his political
opponents in Indiana said, well
the republicans have nominated
the greatest lawyer in his party"
Then began that series of cam
paign speeches every day, day after
day.
The World Of New York sent &
sharp correspondent to follow him,
and If possible to catch something
in some of his speeches that cam
paign Knockout could be made
from. After month the CORES.
pendent wired to the World: "Nt
use, he never makes a mistake"
When the Chile cmbroglio come
on, and Secretary Blaine was pro-
strated by illness. Harrison tool
up the correspondence and left the
Chileans nothing to stand on in 1.
week. He gives the impression
that he would have been equal t.
any emergency.
Mr.. Clark in now in the lime
light. The world will be able t,
more correctly judge him a yea,
hence.

CHANGE IN POLL TAX LAW.
General Assembly will Probably
Seek Amendments
to Law.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 2S.-One OF
the matters which will engross the atten-
ton of the members of the next sener-
al assembly will be that to amend the
constitution so that the poll tax re-
quirement will be repealed and an
nulled. The people generally are
against that proposition, and tbs de-
n1and is growing for its repeal. There
are some thousands of persons who
have been denied the right to vote
because of the existence of this pro.
vision of the constitution, and there
is no question that the Democrats
have lost far more heavily than the
other parties. The Republicans have
had little or no show in the great
bulk of the State, and except in South
west Virginia there are no Republic
can officeholders, and the party is not
organized and has made no fights OF
any consequence for long time. 1t
is held that by strict enforcement OF
the registration laws this same ends
could be accomplished, and at the
same time it is recalled that in some
fights that have taken place recently
on the question of prohibition the
negro has been allowed to register and
to vote when they were not entitled.
That was the open charge in the city OF
Lynchburg and the same allegations
are being made in Stauntou. The
temperance people in the city of Roa-
noke had the same thing to say OF the
contest in that city. The registrars are
the sole judges of the fitness of man
to register.
