epic-drama are far and above any
pacific influences, or teaching of any
sanity dread of violence. Some OF
the most thrilling and glorious parts
are the savage fights of one man or
several against overpowering odds.
| There is something about a good
fight we'll fought that attracts the
sympathy of every man no matter
how educated he may be to the
peaceful doctrine of submission and
cheek-turning. And it is not regret
table that this element of heroism
still holds strong in the rooty depths
of human feeling. Patriotism to
/ country, protection of the weak, and
the destruction of evil, are even yet
the hot issues of our forming civil
ization. 1t is still good healthy
sign when one can be carried away
by emotion over a realistic moving
picture or well told story.
The whole production is massive
in detail and scope, and a master
work of organization. The battle
ground of thebig fight was SO wide,
and SO filled with men and guns and
explosions that even the next day it
is hard to think of it as being staged,
and of the desperate soldiers as
merely actors. The last pretty scenes
of love and rebuilding after the war
serve to let down the heated imagina-
tion by soothing stages; one leaves
the theatre without a bad taste from
the former sad outrages and one is
reminded, as in real life, that it
needs the shock of tragedy to call
up great heroism. There remains a
comfortable feeling that right wins,
and that there is deep sense of
justice and fair play that runs thru
all the race of men that will never
let wrong or ill-used might stand
unvanquished.

APPRECIATION OF
..BIRTH OF A NATION

The" Birth of a Nation" is moi
properly show, nor an amusement
It is an experience. This amazing
piece of historical semblance with its
lively story of love, war and woe
invades every reserve and grips into
the vital depths of instructive man.
Every watcher. must come away feel
ing more aged by this experience than
by only three short hours. Not time,
but intensity counts, and during
those wonderful three hours each in
dividual in the audience was privi-
legged to live again the life of his
fathers in all its passion, and sor-
row, and triumph. We do not think
that any onlooker who owns red
corpuscles could go away from that
great natural drama, take to his bed,
bed and get right to sleep.
From the very beginning the music
by the trained orchestra attaches it
self fast to the action and follows
it in every turn, supplying all that
words could do, perhaps more, be-
cause 1t expresses the cries of an
guish, the screams of pain, the means
of agony, the tears of sorrow, the
shouts of joy and relief. The great
est triumph of the music is in its
sustaining Of the weird uncanny call
of the Ku Klux Khan. Those three
or four unvarying, untuneful notes,
penetrating. tho muffied, must have
carried living terror into every
shining heart in those dark days SO
years ago. During the fiercest fight
ing of the Khan, when all the loud
mouthed instruments were struggling
for supremacy in the general confu-
sion, just as madly as the men were
fighting, still that piercing call of
inexorable vengeance Glove its single
way above them all. The audience
were lifted out Of all actually and
carried aloft by their own aroused
fighting enthusiasm. And then, when
the khan came rushing to the rescue
of some beleaguered little band Of
heroes, came as sure as fate on the
heels of the terrible call and the mar
tial clamor. the audience drummed
the floor with their feet and there |
were half suppressed shouts, Of |
Come on!" 60 to it," There they |
comet" Hurry up!" Look at that"

BIG FIGHT ON IN BOISE

Last Friday evening mass meet
ing was held in Boise at which it
was decided to call an election to
vote upon the recall of Mayor Rob-
inson and Councilman Eichelberger
for their activity in using and abus-
ing the police powers of the city in
prosecuting respectable citizens,
blackening good character, breaking
up homes and injuring the business
Of worthy citizens who were minding
their own affairs and were exemplary
in their habits.
Following the. mass meeting, the
first step in the work was done in
six hours, securing the signatures of
1900 voters on a petition asking for
the election to be called.
Now wouldn't 1t bring forth all
kinds of surprises if the element
that claims to protect home and
character and uphold people in their
constitutional rights should lend help
to sustain the mayor in his cussed-
ness! To be more explicit, suppose
the grafters and gamblers, the loafers
and character assassins should SO
manipulate matters that they would
have the hearty cooperation Of the
w. G. T. u, the ladies aids, the lead
ing women's clubs, the preachers and
teachers, the wealthy social set and
the private snaps of all sects and
both sexes numerous as they may
be. With that kind of backing the
mayor ought to out-vote the others
and be able to go on hiring thugs and
FOUNDERS to invade peoples homes
and swear to anything needed to ruin
them. Such combinations Of voting
elements have been accomplished in
Blackfoot on three different occasions
and Blackfoot and Boise fall for the
same kind Of rot when the right ones
get In early and start the noise. It
will be interesting to note whether
or not the Boise people are getting
any sense on these matters.

A Tall Farmer

N. T. Weigel, of Thomas, is one
of the finest young fellows in all
the county. He is tall, good looking
has nice teeth, doesn't spit except
when he wants to, is good to his
mother and sister, quiet, thoughtful
and Industrious, and is studying how
to increase the crop yield. Girls,
if you like a tall man and want to
live ON fine old farm down the
pike, you can't miss it if you just
grab for him. He is shy, but not
nervous, aggressive but agreeable,
and if he isn't carrying life insur-
ance we'll bet he is making inquiries
about which are the best companies.
He has a phone and gets his mail
on route two.

A Handsome Farmer

We have mentioned fat man and
a tall one; now we want to direct
your attention to handsome fellow
of medium weight. He lives on
route three, and the first two letters
of his name are Roscoe Rich, some
times called Muggins by the younger
set, who know him well and want to
express their real friendship and ap-
probation of his good traits. The
better you know him the more you
are bound to like him, for he is like
able to a marked degree. Roscoe is
farmer and one Of the kind that
is going to win because he studies
the how and the why Of things in ma
ture. Last year he managed a wheat
crop and made money enough to buy
two Cadelacs with all the tree climb
ing attachments, but, of course, he
didn't buy them, not two. We pre-
dict that as a farmer he will make
a record worth while and will make
more money than most of us think
there is to be made in the county.

is one of the partners in the bust

worth. He is one of those very
worthy men that you would pick out
in crowd for a superintendent of
the works, member of the board Of
directors or owner of three-quarters
of the factory and hardly conscious
Of his position. A genial fellow,
fine mixer, one who would win your
esteem and hold it-but that is
enough-you want to see for your
self, and it is time to go out looking
at pure bred fowls and you have that

LIBRARY MOVEMENT
 ON AT RUSSElLVILLE DOYNE OF CON WAY ADDRESSES BIG
 MASS MEETING.

The movement to secure a Carne- gie library for Russellville, mention ed in these columns last week, as- stmed definite form when a largely attended and enthusiastic mass meet ing was held at the court house Tues day night to discuss plans for active work toward securing a library. The meeting was called to order by Su- perintendent Hall of the public schools, who acted as chairman. Miss Lille Rankin was elected secre- tary Rev. Hurie stated the object of the meeting, and was followed by President J. J. Doyne, of the Arkan- sas Normal at Conway, who spoke of the benefits to the city and the citi- zenship in general that would be de- rived from such a library. Mr. Doyne is a forceful speaker, an earnest educator, and his able ad- dress was both entertaining and in structive.
 The meeting was open for all who cared to be heard on the subject, and a numoer of citizens spoke, all eX- pressions being in favor O. securing the library if the necessary require ments by the Carnegie board can be met. The organization of proposed Russellville Library Association was suggested, and this was deferred until a later meeting. A temporary committee was appointed to discuss ways and means for financing the proposition and report at the next meetings. This committee is com posed of Supt. Hall, Walter E. Will son, Miss Lillie Rankin, Mrs. J. G. Williams and Rev Hurie.
 The meeting adjourned to meet again tonight, hear report from the committee, and go into perma- nent. organization if this course is at the time deemed advisable.
 As stated last week, under the Car negie plan, library building will he erected in approved cities by the li- brary fund, the city thus favored to guarantee permanent maintenance, donate building site, etc. Aside from the site for building, the annual fund for maintenance must equal 10 per cent O the cost of the building, and must be guaranteed by the city coun- ell. In other words, ii we want a S12,5o0 building in Russellville, we must guarantee &1,250 per year for maintenance. PrsspllyiIle Courier Democrat.
