Quite the most wonderful of the many wonderful scenes pictured in The Birth of a Nation" is that show ing Sherman's march to the sea and the burning of the City of Atlanta Imagine q view of a long, fertile val lev extending for miles, moving through this valley in struggling for nation, or lack of formation. is the army of General sherman. The view is so extensive that the soldiers ap- pear but little larger than ants. yet the photograph is so clear that the form of each man is perfectly delin- eated.
 Now and then puff of smoke indi- cates return fire upon snipers in farm buildings. Now and then a barn is fired in evident retaliation for a dead lv bullet from it's shelter. and the army ot human ants is ever moving forward. wriggling its way like a huge serpent towards it's goal-the sea.
 Atlanta is reached. Whether the burning of the city was a military necessity, or whether the conflagration was of accidental origin. chroniclers of the time fail to agree. but Atlanta

The Love Trail" It is laid in South Africa. and the scenic environ ment alone is such as to recommend il to those who have not had the priv ilege of visiting the far-off country of jungles, and un- explored fastness. Agnes Glenn. who is the star of the novel play is said to be the most beau tiful actress in England and her com ing ot America adds to the colony of remarkably pretty women who have been brought out by the demands of the movies. Women who might have been hidden in obscurity have been in troduced to the world and their beauty brought to the screen by the movies. This girl is said to be one of the most
 fascinating women the British isles have produced. Hercareer in America will be watched by those who follow and know pictures. The Love Trail" is a good picture. A picture that no one can fault with, It deals with a
 class of people little known to this country. the hardy men who are mak
 ing history in South Africa. These
 ninncers are akin to the men who helped to build this great western communityand this story of love and adventure is laid in a country that is
 new. A sparkling Pathe weekly with some immediate news events adds
 novelty to this program. The weekly
 is as good as newspaper.

Lamara Today

If Doris Pawn has one hobby more than another, it is horseback riding. She proves her ability to do this in the new Western drama Blue Blood and Red" the latest Fox release. Un- like most fimland stars. she does not fancy the automobile, although those who see that picture will observe that she can drive machine as well as horse.
 Miss Pawn comes honestly by her love of horseflesh. She was raised in small town in Nebraska. where she rode much Tn her girlhood and learned to keep on top without pull ing leather" or committing any other cowboy disgraces. She is foremost among those motion picture actresses who have shown that they can do daf- ing riding for the "public's camera.
 This little, golden haired Fox star frequently forfeits her luncheon houf in order to take canter between working periods She is one of those few now a days who sticks to the horse as against greater horsepower in machinery.

was sacrificed to the flames and the great fire is so realistically pictured in The Birth of Nation" that one can almost smell the smoke and hear the cries of the terrified people as they flee to the hills for their lives. Few make any attempt to save household effects. so great is their haste to es- cape the flames and the hated Yam kees. Up the hills they rush. men, women and little children. an endless parade of misery, drear and hopeless ness.
 Sherman's army has cut it's fearful swathe through the heart of the south. Another link has been forged in the chain that shall bind the Confectionery to the stake. Another move has been made in the big war game that is to end at Appomatox court house with the surrender of Lee.

CONSTANTINE DIDO

CONSTANTINE DID.-One writer
in The Public Forum said some Greek
emperor changed the sabbath of the
Most High from Saturday to Sunday.
l would like to correct that state
ment, as history proves the first Sun
day law was made by Constantine in
321 A. D. He was converted to
Christianity and embraced the Cath
Ole faith, so it is clear enough who
was backing him up. Wonder why
Protestants follow in his steps, as we
clearly can see that by breaking
Gods law we show how little respect
we have for it.
/ am glad that the truth about the
sabbath is coming to the front and
that God has a people who are not
only willing to defend the whole bible,
but also give their lives for it, if need
be. Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again, and we are seeing it done right
in front of our eyes.
Most people say the sabbath was
only for the Jews. l wonder then
what Adam was? He got the sab
bath before there was sin on earth
even, and we surely could not call
him. Jew. No, the sabbath was for
all mankind, and the Lord put it

NATURES VENGEANCE. The
God of Nature is reeking out VEN
geance on his enemies. Rev. Hertzell,
man who worked hard to close the
homes of women who lived the pas
sion of their sex and to drive them
out into the streets, has just died
horrible death by consumption at the
early age of 40. States Atty Way
man, who closed these people out of
all the homes they had, died a sui
cidal and a horrible death. Anthony
Comstock, a DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde, who suppressed free speech
and free press, died an early wretched
death. He fought birth control and
tried to continue misery.
In the south nature is reeking out
terrible vengeance where miscegna-
ton laws result in nearly all of the
whites handing down tanned or mu-
latto race. Nature will accomplish
this within 200 years. In the north,
nature is working vengeance where
the sexes are isolated, except by
marriage. Nature curses people with
nervous prostration, cancer, con-
sumption, insanity, an early death
and other ailments because the SEX
ual relation is denied.
We are now spending nearly all
our time in ''help those who are
weak" campaigns. The result is
not what it should be. Survival of
the fittest" is natures rule. We are
saving every weakling that should
die and we deprive the strong. Men
are forced to defy nature by eating
foods cured in salts or saltpeter. This
brings on early sickness, breakdown
and weak offspring.
The God of Nature is angry and is
taking vengeance everywhere. Japan

 The accident was witnessed by quite a number of people, all of whom were loud in their praise of Kennedy. IL was stated by several. that if it had not been for his heroic action. the child would have met a horrible death under the wheels of the car. The mother of the child was standing nearby, but failed to witness the ac- cident As soon as she was told of the affair, she was entirely unnerved, ard was hardly able to carry the child home.
 H. G. Powers, a clerk in the office of the county treasurer, was in the car at the time of the accident.
 Tt was all over before we realized what had happened. The motorman did not see the child in time to stop the car. for it was one of those old cars without air brakes that require a block to stop. Before we grasped Kennedy's intention, it was all over. He had saved the child at what we thought the price of his own life. He just missed being run over by inches. The fender pushed him to one side and the running board scraped his back He was game even when they picked him up and brought him back on the car and took him to the hos pital We could hear him gasp, but he only said Don't lay me down; it's better for me to be in a sitting posi- tion."

 Tom Campbell, republican candidate Tor governor, will make~his campaign tours of the state in an automobile. presented to him by his fellow sons of Yavapai county.

Campbell studying method and theory Now, he is engaged dur ing his off hours, in mastering the tech nique of driving. so that when the pre- primary excitement starts, he will be able to go there.
 The car was bought by means of a fund, raised especially for that purpose by few Prescott admirers of the can didate. Only Yavapai county men con- tributed to it, on the theory that the car should be a gift to MT. Campbell from the men with whom he had grown up. and worked in business and politics Friends of the candidate predict a whirlwind campaign for him. They say his new car will poke it's radiator into every county. with the possible exception of Yavapai, where Tom" is so well known that he calls everybody by their middle name and inquires about their wives and children in an off-hand and expert manner.
