PLAN OF DEMOCRATS

And in the meantime the democrats are moving along pretty smoothly. All of the democrats do not love Wilson. But for the sake of the party they are rapidly burying personal likes and dis likes. They know that should they lose this fall, many years will hurl themselves into history before they again sit in power in Washington; and they know that if they win in the fall in all probability they will be able to retain hold of the reins for a long period of years.
 So what anti Wilson sentiment there is what antipathy based on the policies of the present administration there may be found by diligent search to exist, is buried. The democrats will come together in St. Louis and nomi-
 nate, probably by exclamation, and ther settle down to the awful grind of put ting their man again into office. Having adopted the above programme the democrats are naturally delighted whenever Colonel Roosevelt drops tn, big stick on the head of an aspiring reactionary, or when MT. Taft sits dowI with all his embonpoint on the aspira | tions of Colonel Roosevelt
 To them, the situation is ideal.

H OOTLIGHTS and Screen is not quite in the mood of \ scrivening in a light and graceful manner on amusing things and amusements today, when, due to a variety of causes, the mouth has the taste as if a pastepot had been swallowed the night before; the atmosphere is of blueish tint and the world as a general propo- sition appears on the road to the eternal bow-wows. The reason for this contre temps is a touch of neuralgia, the grippe and other things not conducive to clear thinking. That apologized for what follows:
 "Everywoman," dramatic spectacle, will be presented at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight. It was written by the late Walter Browne. "Everywom- an" is a masterpiece in many ways and it presents quite forcibly the trials and dangers that cucumber the path of the woman in search of love and happiness.
 Louis Mann, noted for his char acter roles, will appear at the Jefferson next Wednesday in The Bubble"
 From every quarter one reads of the motion picture business being in it's infancy, just emerging from it's swaddling clothes and all that sort of bunk. But those who have steadily watched it's growth and accomplishments readily concede that as an industry the fourth in ratio, it has already arrived with producers vieing one with the oth- CT as to the stupendousness of their output And all apropos of the Pathe Gold Rooster playlets which have astonished film circles gen. orally in that they quickly slipped in. usurped and took for them selves an eminent position in the picture world.
