Before he took up the pantomime work he played
everything that is funny from negro minstrelsy to
Shakspere's wise fools and innocent clowns. However,
It was the film that made John Bunny famous, and
the film that John Bunny made famous. They were
made for each other.
His unquenchabe jolhty has given the world many

funny Not only does laugh clear the mind
and dyspepsia which is IN itself the Of much
crime and mistake and dull sodden failing, but every
laugh does its little to establish the habit of taking
life good humOredly-which perhaps after all is the
secret of successful living.

deep hunger for and for melodrama is being
fed for a nickel The movies not only satisfy partly
the world hunger for adventure and travel but the
world curiosity to how the rest Of the world lives
The pioneer JOY, the greatest boon that ever came
to the man who must measure his journeys into joy
and life by his spare nickels, has been the newspaper
With his newspaper every is the peer of all men,
the world opens wide before him. He knows all that
anyone knows. The world is his open book. He is
citizen of everywhere. He participates IN every ad
venture sits great councils, visits great Today
the daily newspaper is like the daily bread Men get
their growth and strength by 1t and they make and
take their hold and position in life by 1t.
There IS nothing to be bought with millions Of
dollars that would take the place of the newspaper
at the end of the day. There is nothing that millions
buy that has satisfaction in it at the end
of the days work than reliable, fair minded, wide
awake, clean newspaper
And it is plain to be that the richest is
not much richer than the poor who has the

price of paper, to spare and above the bread

Can Even War Bring Forgiveness?

It is sad story coming from England where states
men are proposing and urging general forgiveness Of
girls that to become mothers and no wedding
ring or marriage papers to them from hard talk.
Thousands many Of them children themselves, are
awaiting the bearing of life, vast excess over the
normal number account Of the soldier boys going off
to war and leaving broken hearts behind.
Because of war the government sees a need for all
the children that due to to England and sees
a duty to protect the mind and heart Of all the girl
mothers Their number brings them pity, and the sad
thing IS that only tragedies and exhaustion

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol,
iticians could only settle their dis.
putes by the neigh Of a horse, the
bark of dog or the bray OF a donkey,
1t would be great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood OF industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.
