beautiful vesper service.
At the English Lutheran church,
which was profusely decorated with
lilies and ferns, half dozen new
members were confirmed and receiv-
ed the hand of fellowship at the
morning service. The evening meet
ing was given over to very inter-
esting and appropriate Easter pro-
gram of recitations and songs by the
members of the Sunday school. Large
audiences were present at both SER
vices.
At st. Paul's Lutheran. the church
was as usual elaborately decorated
with flowers and ferns and an unus-
ually fine musical program given in
the morning by the choir. Holy COM
munion was celebrated and a spec
ial Easter sermon given by the pas
tor.
A sunrise prayer meeting began
the religious services of the day at
the Christian church at o'clock in
the morning, and the regular SER
vices of the Sunday program observ-I
ed until evening, when a short musi-
cal program preceded an able Easter
address by the pastor.
At the morning service, the Meth
odist Sunday school carried out their
Easter program Of songs, recitations,
etc. The pastor made strong ap-
peal for the missionary work of the
church and the school and congrega-
tion responded in very liberal man
ner as the total amount given by
classes and otherwise amounted to-
$232.76. This is doubtless the larg-
est Easter missionary offering ever
given by the school.
The United Brethren church join
ed with the Christian church in the
Sunrise prayer meeting in the MORN
ing at 6 O'Clock and the choir OF, the
church. rendered a, fine Easter mus

cred strong sermon on "The Prac-
tice of Immortality" The cantata,
'The Easter Allelulia," given by the
chorus choir at night, furnished a
delightful evening OF song. While
not as difficult as some productions
heretofore given by this musical or
ganization, it has never been sur
passed for beautiful solos, duets.

was sung in very capable manner.

and that when the states finances permit, a reformatory for girls should be established.
 "In order that each application for pardon may receive proper consider ation, and that the governor may have more time for the consideration of constructive legislation, Dr. Trough approved the policy adopted by twenty-five states of creating an advisory pardon board, and providing that every application for pardon shall be published in the county where the crime was committed. at least twenty days before it is finally acted upon by the governor. "Such a measure would removed the sus- picion of politics from the pardon and would limit pardon attorneys to simple, legitimate professional activ- ities in the promises"
 Amendment No. 12, which would raise the educational standard of the state, is endorsed most emphatical,y. q believe" said he with all the sin cerity of my heart that an investment in our boys and girls is the greatest measure of constructive statesman ship. l favor the adoption of consti- tutional amendment No. 12, which will permit a maximum levy of 12 mills rather than the present maxi mum of ' mills by each school dis trict for local purposes, provided a majority of the voters of each dis trict vote for it. Such a measure does not mean increased taxation, but simply a wider constitutional liberty"
 He declared for the millage basis of revenue for all the states educa- tional and charitable institutions. "I can conceive of nothing more farcical and impotent than the necessity un- der our present system of the heads of our various institutions visiting our legislature every two years and lobbying for their necessary mainte- nance. These institutions should be taken out of politics, and politics should be taken out of these institu- tons.
 He advocated the liberal encour- agement of agriculture and of labor and capital, the election of St. Fran eis Levee directors, and general state hospital for the treatment of indgent cases. He declares that he shall at all times welcome the x-ray of pub licity, and will always take the peo- pie into his confidence.

BROUCh OUTLINES
 POLITICAL POLICIES
SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
By Democratic Nominee for Govern or Received With Enthusiastic
 Applause.

Little Rock, June In his speech accepting the nomination of govern or, Dr. c. H. Brough enunciated a doctrine of constructive statesman ship that was enthusiastically ap- plauded. While avoiding radicalism, he emphasized the necessity of firm ness and progressiveness in dealing with the great questions that vitally affect the welfare of the people.
 In accepting the nomination he pledged the convention that he would return the commission to the people of Arkansas unsullied by any taint of personal or political dis honor." He said that both of his dis tinguished late opponents have ac- cepted gracefully their defeat and tender him their unqualified support, an offer which he gladly accepts in the spirit in which it was given.
 Declaring that "in Arkansas we are living in a golden decade of a golden century of golden age" Dr. Brough briefly reviewed some of the material achievements of the state. To the furtherance of this advance ment, "I dedicate myself" said he, with genuine patriotism untainted by any thought of future political pre- ferment and caring only for the thoughtful approval of my fellow men and the unmistakable voice of a conscience that tells of things well done"
 Discussing the financial affairs of the state, pr. Brough said that of ficial reports indicate an estimated indebtedness on July l, 1917, of $SOO,OOO, due largely to the fact that "our rate of taxation is exorbitantly high and our. basis of assessment grotesquely low"
 "ln harmony with our platform declaration on this subject" said he, Il shall gather around me a body of experts who shall serve as a patriotic duty to consider wise plans for low ering our rate of taxation, making uniform our assessments, and re- lieving the burden of public debt"
 He endorsed the pure primary bill now being initiated, since "honest elections constitute the palladium of a patriotic people" He pledged him self in favor of constitutional con- vention "for the purpose of clothing the people of Arkansas with govern mental garments that will fit their expanded needs" in the event that the extension of Amendment No. 10 by pending Amendment No. IS proves unsuccessful and inadequate"
 He recommended that a careful study be made of the entire penal system, that humanitarianism should characterize the administration of our penal affairs, that at least a quota of the state convicts should be employed upon the public highways.

1.-THE Floorwalker." first OF the
Mutual Chaplin comedies. scheduled
for release May Is, is fast nearing
completion at the Los Angeles stud
los.
In "The Floorwalker." the million
dollar comedian has worked in some
of the most ludicrous stunts he has
ever performed for the camera. His
antics on the elevator or moving
stairway are exceedingly funny.
For these particular scenes, depict
ing the interior of modern depart
ment store. an escalator. an exact re-
plica of one used in one Of New
York's largest stores was constructed.
1t is operated by electricity. The
stunts pulled on this escalator by
Chaplin furnish more laughs than
there are feet of film.
Chaplin. ever since his arrival in
Los Angeles. has been hard at work
at the studios with the members OF
no slip-up in his first Mutual release.
One some occasions he has put in as
many as ten hours a day.
Interest in Chaplin and his work.
particularly since being signed to a
contract by President John X. Freuler
of the Mutual. is manifested In the
scores of letters received at the stud
10 each day.
Work on the new comedy had It's
serious as well as its funny side. This
was demonstrated a few days ago
when Chaplin, during the filming OF
cne of the scenes on the escalator.
had a narrow escape from painful in
jury. All that saved him, 1t was
learned later. was one of his shoes,
famous the world over for their
length and width. On one of his
trips up the moving stairway Chaplin
slipped as he nearcd the top. The
point of his shoes had caught between
the steps. There was sound OF
breaking wood and a gasp from those
watching him work. Chaplin. how
ever, managed to oxtricate himself.
Then it was found that he was unin-
jured--all but the shoe. the toe OF
which was completely torn off.
After securing another pair of
shoes Chaplin resumed work, none
the worse for his experience.
