Good Picture Show
CIVILIAN

What has been said by many
theater goers to be tue best picture
ever shown here was the "Last
supper" at the picture show last
Friday night. The picture was in
two reels and showed the influence
upon the worlds crime and wicked
ness that Christ would have should
lie be present IN modern times.
Some unusually good scenes were
the "Sermon on the Mount, >
Christ walking on the waters Of
Galiee and the "Lsst Supper" with
his discI. e.
The show was given as benefit
for the Pocahontas Orchestra aud
quite a crowd was present. The
manager, Cleo Davis deserves great
credit for his courtesy to the Or.
ches II, as through bis benefits it
has been able to buy music for its

WASHINGTON, d. c. Ang o.
Mr.. Woodrow WILSON wife o!
the President of tbe United States
died At the White House at 3
o'clock this afternoon. Death came
after a struggle Of months against
Bright's disease, with complications
The president was unnerved by
the shock, but bore uP well under
I strain, and devoted himself to
his daughters.
The end came while MIS-. WI
son was unconscious. Her iIlne :
took turn for the worst shortly
after I o'clock in the afternoon aud
from then on she grew gradually
weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside al the
end were the President aud his
three daughters. DR.. Gary 7.

were in the room and just outside a
door we're Secretary McAdoo and
Francis X. Sayre, Mr.. Wilson's
sons.inlaw, aud Mr.. Tumulty, his
secretary.
Both houses Of Congress adjourn
ed when Mrs. Wilson's death was
announced and for brief time the
wheels Of the Government virtually
stopped, while everyone paid re
spect to the loss OF the President.
The beginning OF the end came
this morning, when DR.. <. P, Dav
is Of Philadelphia, who had been
called IN consultation, realized that
the time for hope had passed. He
took the President into the Red
Room of the White House aud there
told hlm the truth.

son then took his three daughters,
Mrs. w. G. MoAdoO. Mrs. Sayre
aud Miss Margaret Wilson, aside
aud told them of their mothers
condition. Until then they bad
thought there was a chance for her
recovery.
From that time on the President
and his daughters remaIued con.
stantly at Mrs. Wilson's bedside.
The President held bis wife's hand
and the three daughters we're group
ed near by. Until she became un.
concious, Mrs. Wilson frequently
nodded to one or the other aud
smiled ch,er'ully.

Hon. L. S. Light of Marion county,
twice a representative from his coun-
ty in the legislature, has been urged
by his farmer friends to contest win
Frank Clark for a seat in Congress.
Mr.. Light is an unusually intelligent
farmer and one to whom the science
of government, by the people, is not
a mystery, by any means. He be-
lieves a government Of the people
should be by the people, and not by
and through the interests. Mr.. Light
is honest; he would in congress as
he has in the legislature, work for
measures he thought calculated to
benefit all. If he could get the sup
port of the farmers of his district
he would be elected overwhelmingly.
But he can't get that support His
chances would not be good in such a
contest. Frank Clark is too strong
with the farmer class, and he is we'll
known in all parts of the district,
while Mr.. Light is not well known
outside his own county. There is
work for men of the Light stamp
right here in Florida-at Tallahas-
see. He is needed there, and the
News hopes he will be content, for
the present at least to work in the
state body.

The Jacksonville News is dead
really, positively dead; its pitcher
was broken at the cistern where its
stock was watered. And no man gave
unto it, not even Senator Fletcher,
whose cause it was so urgently cham
pioning. But the News started with
out money to carry it through the
infantile stage of helplessness; it
hoped to make good but it hoped
against hope, and should have known
better. To make a daily newspaper
go requires money, only the love Of
(which is the root of all evil. We can
find ourselves pittying the fool pub

WHAT ABOUT IT.?

A gentleman prominent in the re-
ligious work of the county was over
heard in a discussion not very long
ago to take the position that "the
world was growing worse, instead Of
better" This position seemed to be
so inconsistent from the standpoint
of Christian worker, that the News
has been dwelling on the thought and
has decided to ask an expression of
views from Christian people of the
county on the subject.
The Palatka News dissents from
the position taken by this church
worker. 1t believes that never in
the history of the world was sin so
hideous as at the present time; that
never before was such effort being
made to influence men to better liv-
ing nor with greater success; that
never before was there such a demand
for an honest administration of gov
ermental affairs; that grafters are
ceasing because they are few-as
compared with former days; that
never before were men of wealth Civ
ing so literally for the human uplift.
We are going through a great pc
riod of change, but It is a change
for the better. The forces of evil are
making greater effort, it is true, and
spending more money, but this is
made necessary by the growing,
popular demand for righteous, decent
living.
