He was at one time likened to Thomas
Hood, but he never quite rose to Hood 8
height. For long period many of the
brightest fugitive poems of his time
We're attributed to him. He was thought
to be capable of producing much better
work than fell from his hands. But he
was essentially a press humorist and this
fact takes precedence of all others in a
latter-day examination of his works.
These bear the ephemeral stamp of the
press humorist His work was suited to
the time in which it was written. In that
time it was often even brilliant, but re-
moved from it's environment it is dull
A clever rhymster, he caught the public
ia ste and pleased it with his quaint con-
ceits. He possessed the happy faculty
of making people laugh. Nearly every
thing he wrote was pleasi to the ear.
Yet it is difficult to find real merit now
in those pieces and poems of his which
won highest praise back in the Cos.
The poem that gave him greatest cell

Most of these young men are business
men or lawyers. They volunteered for
military service when they believed such
necessary. They should either be given
this service of excitement and of duty
to their country or else they should be

for state camp service
There is no longer any probability of
actual war with Mexico The government
is amply able to employ regular SOL

do patrol duty on the border. Therefore,
the war department should issue an or

Brown Parkes. assistant manager of
the Jefferson theatre, is frankly under
the impression that the motion picture
exhibitor is being held up by the ex-
change men and advises that all exhibit
tors should band together and get their
rights.
DO you know the motion picture
producer has a rag-time cinch getting
by in comparison with the theatrical
producer?" said Mr.. Parkes yesterday.
"Why, with the motion picture manu-
facturer its cut and dried affair. He
had contract to make so many prints
of his pictures to the exchanges and
he is paid in cash in advance In other
words his income in guaranteed even
before he starts making a picture.
with the theatrical fellow it's very
different story. The play must be pur-
chased and then produced in the larger
cities. If it is successful it is sent out
on the road. But at all places where a
theatrical production is shown the the
atrcal producer takes a chance with
the local manager. That is he shares

If it rains and there is poor house
the theatrical producer loses with the
local house manager and that is the
system used all along the line in the
theatrical business.

Resound to the tread

Whose days are soon speds
Who reach for the baubles

And show their contempt
For the rules of the game.''
Then, weary and broken,
They lie down at last,
Completely forgotten

Where madmen compete.
