Henderson to guide them.
There then were determined who would

president of the senate, and who would
name the committees of the senate.
Further there then was determined the
future legislative fight over the momen-

CAUSE is DESCRIBED;
THE EFFECT INDICATED

There is the situation and the prob
able cause. The effect will be the
triumph, in all probability, of prohl-
biticn candidates and prohibition doc
trine. For it is realized by everybody
that on the issue of tomorrow depends
that other and more vital issue. There
is no question but that at the present
moment, on organization and rrohibl-
ton the strength of the governor ana
the strength of the prohibitionists Is
at test.
Immediately following the organization
, the prohibitionists will lay plans to elm
mate the doctrine of local option from
the political code of Alabama. Their
scheme Is very simple. They will by leg
islative action--to make assurance doubly
sure-make the Webb bill enacted by Con-
gress applicable to Alabama. They VIII
then repeal, if they can, the Smith and
Parks local option bills, restoring ipsc

A Virginia game warden is fretting

HEAVY BONDAGE OF CUSTOM
True Freedom VIII BE Found to es
Rare Gem, When All Things
Are Considered.

Freedom is priceless gem--and
a rare one, also; for in spite Of the
fact that we live In an age of relig-
ious freedom, freedom OF the press.
freedom of speech and comparative
freedom of our mode OF living, yet
we are bound in various ways-such
ways that make real freedom rare.
AS a free-born race we could dress as
we chose, eat as we chose and
live as we chose, providing we did not
encroach upon the rights of others.
But this we do not do
We dress as custom and fashion de-
cree-be 1t comfortable or not, and
we are quite careful to follow fash
ions guiding finger though our daily
life and from year to year. And so
we are not free-but bound securely.
What that bondage leads to may be
seen any day on any street where
people pass by.
Then there is another kind of free
dom that should be highly priced and
sought for, and that is courteous free
dom of manner. Many persons live
rather lonely life simply because
they never considered graciousness
as worth cultivating. "Gush" and
"splashing over" are objectionable Of
lenses to our conservative world.
And yet there is a happy medium
between that and the coldly critical
person. A little freedom is helpful
in all walks of life-for high or low
as our stations may be, we are of
common clay that must molder in
time into common dust-for after a
century or two who could distinguish
dust of prince from dust of pauper!
1t is worth while to bend little
to be a bit friendly with the pilgrims
passing along the road of life. For
we need each others aid and we need
a certain sense of freedom in manner
and speech. Frozen faces we're never
conducive to happy hearts. Unbend
little!-Dedham Transcript.

The Rex


Thomas jefferson. son Of JOSEPH
jefferson, will be seen at the Re-
Friday in the play his father
fame rested upon, Rip Van Wrinkle
based upon Irving's great story.
So many requests and inquiries
have been made for a repetition or
the motion picture screen of the
original Rip Van Wrinkle, that Thorn
as Jefferson, Joe's son, himself an
actor of no mean ability, finally con-
sented to portray the part Of Rip,
which he had seen his father enact
so often, and in which play he him.
self had often acted leading parts.
Many of the properties which were
used in the original Joseph Jefferson
productions are now the property of
Mr.. Thomas jefferson, and are used
in the film production. The scenes
are taken in the Catskills, just where
Washington Irving laid the plot, and
are rarely beautiful. Five reels of
pictures are shown, and not only
those who wish once more to see
their old favorite, but those who are
only interested in the play itself,
will be more than pleased with the
production.
For those who have forgotten
some of the details of the story, fol.
lowing is given a resume of the plot:
Rip Van Wrinkle, an idle, worth
less fellow, whose wife labors at the
washtub to make scanty living for
their daughter Meenie and herself,
mortgages his property, and with
part of the proceeds entertains the
village.
Later he attends dance. where
Gretchen, his wife, finds him en-
bracing one of the girls. She chases
him through the house, and Rip and
his dog Schneider, take to the noun
tains. A terrible storm comes up
and Rip decides to go home. Here
Gretchen and Rip quarrel over his
and she demands that he
leave and never return. He and his
dog return to the mountain in this
same terrible storm, where they
meet strange little being carrying
a keg, which good-natured Rip car.
ries up the mountain for him, being
rewarded with a drink from the key
as reward. He falls asleep and does
not awaken for over twenty years,
and then finds everything is changed.
He returns to the village, and here,
after things look very stormy for
Rip, he finds his daughter Meenie,
now about to be married, and every.
thing ends happily.

When Actor Made an Enemy.


Willie Edouin once told of an actor
in a certain company who one day In
cautiously disclosed the secret that he
was actually saving 81 a week. The
rest of the company we're dumfounded
at it. Then they enjoyed the joke"
immensely. He was chaffed unmerci-
fully. There was only one person
present who did not join in the fun
against him. He remained silent and
when the money saver left he took an
opportunity of slipping out after him
and congratulated him on his common
sense in providing for a rainy day.
Then he informed him that he himself
had often thought Of doing the same
thing, but circumstances had always
been against him, and just then he
was at his wits ends. Would the
saver mind lending him, say, ten

and became from that time one of the
most bitter ridiculers of saving as
tending to make a man think of no
one but himself. 1t really requires
courage in many circles to own to
