REALIZATION.

! Jackson, Miss, May 9.-With but
one month remaining ere the third
day OF June is reached, the men be-
hind the Mississippi woman's mOnu-
ment movement have reached the I'M
ayOidable conclusion that another
birthday of Jefferson Davis must pass

Mississippi's mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts still I'M

coming June since the pedestal,
which had been built on the south
plaza of the new capitol for the recep-
ton of the Belle Kinney statue, was
formally dedicated and the foundation
stone laid with imposing ceremonies.
AT that time it was realized that there
would be some delay in the completion
of the whole memorial, owing to the
difficulty in getting the bronze work
executed in Milan, Italy Then came
other complications, due to the out
break OF the European war and the
necessity for a change in the original
plans. The committee from the asso-

Drama as Recreation.
by JOHN ID. BARRY.

An invitation to speak on "The Drama as a
Means of Recreation" recently started me think
ing the subject The most popular of all the
arts the most democratic, at first seemed to be
necessarily the ideal means of recreation. 1t in
vited people to think about subject they were
vitality interested in, life itself In sense, it was
the actual reproduction of life with living figures
for characters, working out their experiences as
they did in everyday living.
The dramatists work none the less crea-
ton through being a recreation. The more
closely he followed nature the more convincingy
would he reveal himself as an artist, with some
thing of the attribute of god.
But in this sense gods, had to acknowl
edge that most dramatsts were failures. Through
their gross misrepresentation Of life, they showed
themselves to be false gods. Even while appar
entity bearing witness the truth, they told great
many lies. And they often failed to catch and &c
reproduce the absorbing interest that went with
life itself. Indeed, compared with life marvelou:
in it's scope and variety and in its continual sur
prises, the drama seemed very poor means o
recreation.

Republicans In the less steadfast con-

But opinion set steadily forward again
with the President before the winter
was out and the reverses of the autumn
elections did not slacken the action of
Congress or daunt its leaders.
Their radical measures matched with
what they believed to be the real tenn
