First, the director gave me cigarette to smoke. Then he handed mo a glass of beer. l finished four cigarettes and four glasses of beer before the scene was taken. Next a very pretty actress was ushered in and told to kiss me. She gave me a rather cold caress. and the director he was fine fellow, believe me remonstrated
 Whats the natter? he asked. Don't you like MT. Mestayer?'
 "'Why. I've only just met him. she replied.

BILL TO REPEAL AC- TUARY BUREAU VOT.
 ED DOWN-lS TO IS
Closest Vote Cast in Senate-Senator Going Opened with Motion to h. definitely Postpone - Many
 Warm Debates.

Little Rock, Feb. 9-The Arkansas Senate, by vote of IS to 15 on Mon day afternoon voted down the Smith !of Columbia bill to repeal the act Icreating the Arkansas Actural Bu- r2au. This was done after a debate which consumed the entire afternoon session, and after the vote had been Iannuounced, Senator Edmondson, who had changed his vote from aye to nay gave notice that he would offer mo- ton to reconsider at a future date. The vote upon the repeal bill was as | Ifollows:-
 Aye-Ashley, Burgess, Bush. Duty, Edmondson, Garrett, Greenhouse, Harris, Mccall, Ruff, Sims, Smith of Columbia, Smith of Union, Wagner, Lundy. Nays-Adamson, Cabiness, Calvert, Carter, Collins, Davenport, Ferguson, Futrell, Going, Hamilton, Jones, Kendall, Moore Overman, Slaughter, Toler, Vann, White.
 There was never a roll call so close as this one, even on the liquor ques- tion the result being in doubt up to the very last, and anxious Senators looked about for the two absent mem bers, Owens and Wasson, hoping that their vote might be registered in or der that the result of a full count on reconsideration might be indicated.
 Senator Going opened the ball with motion to indefinitely postpone the bill He was followed by Senator Greenhouse. who declared the putting of the insurance business in the hands of the insurance men was like a rail road commission composed of railroad men. Senators Duty and Burgess, al so favoring the repeal of the Actural Bureau bill, followed with lenghy ar guments. Senators Moore and Cal vert opposed the Smith bill, Senator Moore declaring that the withdrawal of insurance would foreclose many mortgages, which were based upon the mortgage carrying insurance, and Senator Calvert declared that the bu- reau was not now given sufficient pow CT, for it should have the right to find if one class was bearing the insurance burden of another. and to force the companies to disclose their basis of rates in order that all insurance might l be cqualized. Senator Cabiness de clared that the Bureau had lowered the rate in his section, and Senator Carter spoke along the same line After Senator Going had made his closing argument in opposition to the | bill he withdrew his motion to inde, fnitely postpone, and Senator Smith devoted a half hour to the bill, declar- ing that if the Senate failed to repeal the measure, it was an appropriation of $10,000 per annum to the insurance companies. He analysed rates and declared the insurance trust created under the act had raised them gener- ally.

Elizabeth's outstretched arms.
Five minutes later Tom, tired, warm
and little cross, walked upon the

the trees, this is nice way to treat
an obliging brother. You told me the

hadn't been bowling like wild Indians,
I'd be on the opposite side of the val

Suddenly Tom stopped. He saw
Elizabeth, flushed and happy, and by
her side Robert Willis, also happy,

from Elizabeth's bandaged eyes. The
boys stood awkwardly about looking
at each other

FREEDOM.

Here Is the forest now,
As on that old July
When first our fathers took the vow.
The bluebird, stained with earth and sky.
Shouts from blowing bough
In green, aerial freedom. wild and high,
And now, as then, the bobolink
Out on the uncertain brink
OF the swaying maple swings
Loosing his song out link by golden link,
While over the wood his proclamation
rings,
daring boast that would unkingdom
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on bough and
wall
That day the bell of Independence Hall
Thundered upon the world the word OF
The word of God uttered when the world
began
That day when liberty began to be
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea.
But Freedom calls her conscripts, now as
then;
It is an endless battle to be free.
As the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers rise
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again, again will rise Thermopylae;
Again. again, a new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled pass,
As the long ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington
And many valorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall.
Man is the conscript of an endless quest,
A long divine adventure without rest,
holy war, battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun,
Each hard-earned freedom withers to
bond
Freedom forever Is beyond-beyond!

In a speech recently delivered in
New York, the grape juice advo-
cate and lover of the dove of peace
for a political purpose took a ter
rife slam at Roosevelt because OF
his war inclinations which was no
. doubt justifiable-for Roosevelt is
a great warrior with his mouth,
but when he gave William H. Taft
q punch because of his peace SEN
timents he did the ex-president a
gross injustice. The attack was no
doubt inspired because the Taft
peace propaganda was more prac-
teal than his own and was not all
wind. 1t is sane and will attract
the attention and support of the
best men in this country as we'll as
abroad, for it is sensible and not
speculative. Mr.. TAFT is giving
President Wilson patriotic sup
port in his efforts to avoid war and
any and all entanglements with for
eign powers, demonstrating by his
acts and speech that he is above
all feelings of animosity.

Too much praise cannot be &C
corded Governor Slaton of Geor-
gia for committing the sentence OF
Leo Frank from death by hanei ing
to life Imprisonment. There are
grave doubts of his guilt, the only
evidence against him, was that Con-
ley, the negro, who by many IS
thought to have been the murderer
of Mary Phagan. Frank was a
married man who had lived a
blameless life and his statement IN
his own defence should have had
more weight with the jury than the
testimony of the negro. The trial
Judge in a letter written just before
his death expressed serious doubts
as to the guilt of Frank and two of
the Judges of the supreme court
were of the same opinion. The gov
ernor in statement after be had
committed the sentence that 1T would
probably end his political life; and
the action of the frenzied mob in
seeking his life, demonstrated that
Frank did not have a fair trial and
that the jury was influenced by the
public clamor for blood and had
Frank been executed, it would have
been legalized murder. In the days
to come, should the prisoner be
proven innocent of the terrible
crime, Gov. Slaton can put his
hand on his heart, look upto heaven
and thank his God, that he was
not a party to the taking the life OF
an innocent man.

One thing, at least, can be said
to the credit of William Bryan.
He's ambitious. Thrice he tried
for the presidency and failed. He
really thought, very egotistically
that he had LANDED it" by appoint
ment to the Presidents cabinet.
Grape Juice Billy has designs on
the job again, even if it is neces.
sary to disrupt his party, and an
dermine President Wilson. But
he can't; his calibre is too small
and his selfish motive too apparent
