Introduce Me.

Laughter romance and heart in
terest are the ingredients that have
been employed by Della Clarke in
her new comedy, Introduce Me-
to be seen at the opera house SatuY-
day night. Those familiar with
Miss Clarke's other successful plays
Will be quick to realize that this
play is clean and wholesome. Miss
Clarke is not believer in the sala-
cious play no matter how tremen-
dous 1t may be in It's dramatic eff
feet and appeal. She believes thu.
people go to the theatre to be enter
tanned and kept in happy frame Of
mind To this end she has written
Introduce Me" and the opinions of

that Miss Clarke has succeeded In
her purpose.

TOO MUCH POLITICS."

Politics, generally speaking, Is
that science which treats of the dis
tribution of power in country
Domestic politics investigates the
distribution of power among the in
dividuals belonging to particular
country, the best form of govern
ment for the nation, the means OF
perity of the people.
In America, where the people
rule, or are supposed to rule, to I'M
derstand politics in theory and prac
tice is a duty that every good citi-
zen owes to himself The business
! of the American government is ad-
ministered by the servants of the
! people-the hired men of the vot-
ers, if you please-and If politics IS
removed from the consideration OF
those upon whom the choice of ser
wants rests how shall they know
whether the prosperity OF the peo-
pie is being preserved through the
faithful performance of duty as
signed?
That man who pleads ignorance
to the laws OF the land is inexcus- |
able before the courts for criminal |
acts, and certainly the man who dis
qualities himself through ignor-
ance. to exercise intelligently the
rights of citizen is both to be pitt
ed and blamed
The cry of too much politics" is
he song of the siren. To advise the |
eople against politics is to encour

JOHN PAUL Jones MONUMENT

Washington, April IA great pa
triotic demonstration marked the un-
yelling today of the memorial to John
Paul Jones, the revolutionary naval
hero, in Potomac park. Admiral
Dewey unveiled the monument and
among the speakers were President
Taft, Secretary of the Navy Meyer and
Gen. Horace Porter, who was ambas-
sador to France at the time the re-
mains of John Paul Jones were recoy-
cred, and who discovered the grave
of the naval hero in an abandoned
cemetery in Paris.
Unlike the ceremonies incident to
the recent interment of the Maine
dead, the program today included no
funeral dirges, but was marked by
paens of victory, while the bravery and
daring of the gallant Scotch-American
sea warrior were proclaimed by Presi-
dent Taft and the other distinguished
speakers. Sailors, soldiers and ma
rines marched in the parade which
preceded the dedication of the statue.
The Jones statue stands on the
northwest hank of the tidal basin at
the foot of Seventeenth street, and is

Evangelist Ham continues to preach
to church members and scores them
for Inconsistencies and sins in their
hypocritical lives. Last night his sub
Ject was What Is Christian" The
evangelist showed MIN to be a man
who stood for Jesus amid derisions,
SCOTS, abuses and tortures. The
Christians were called such in de-
rision, yet they bore the name with
out shame. The real Christians will
not be discouraged at the evil inten-
tions of the world. They expect, IL
they live for Christ, to have the world
TO hate them. The average church
member Of today courts the world.
What the churches need is Christian
ity, not religionA The heather world
is full of religion, The Pharisees were
religionists of high order. Christ
in the heart is what we need.
Mr. Ham condemns dancing, card
playing and theatre-going. but he does
not fail to show up cursing and drunk
enness with lust and adultery, and the
rest of the category OF sins in their
right colors.

A. {. N. CADET
BADLY INJURED
Was Run Down by Horse That Was
Running Loose on the
Campus.

Joseph Wiifiam Love, aged II years,
son of J. b. Love of Salado, Bell coun-
ty, was badly injured this morning
by runaway horse.
Young Love is a student of A. & NJ.
College, being in his freshman year,
preparing to take the course in cleo
trical engineering. About o'clock he
was passing across the campus to his
room from class. with large num-
Der of other students. A big black
horse belonging to the college, that
had become loose and was running
wild, approached the body of cadets in
his mad fight. All the boys took to
heir heels to avoid him, and, as one of
the spectators says, the horse went
through the thinnest bunch of them.
Young Love was directly in his path
and could not get out of the way. The
horse, however, appeared to try to
avoid the boy ,and reared up to leap
over him as he would take a hurdle.
His fore foot struck the boy in the
face, breaking his nose and causing
eoncussion which resulted in uncon-
sciousness. The lad was taken to the
hospital and was attended by College
Surgeon Otto Ehlinger. He soon re-
gained consciousness, and while he is
painfully hurt it is believed he will
recover all right from his injuries.
The boy is son of J. B. Love, a
stock farmer of Salado, Bell county.
He graduated at the Thomas Arnold
High School in May, 1911, and entered
A. & NJ. College on his diploma from
that institution.
