High Time For Voters To
Consider The Cause More
Than Individuals.

When Thos. C. McRae made his
final announcement, declining to
yield to the opportunities of his
friends, who were insisting he re-
consider his decision not to become
a candidate for governor, he stated,
among other things, that the time
had come for the voters of Arkan-
sas to redeem the state from the
thraldom Of machine politics and
machine politicians and that the
forces Of good government must
not be divided in the present con-
test, thus permitting the machine
to win by a plurality vote Contin-
uine Mr.. McRae said;
The cause is everything; indi-
viduals nothing"
1t would be difficult to reduce to
fewer words sentiment so express
sive Of the elements Of good citi-
zenship. In eliminating himself
from the contest, over the protest
of hundreds and perhaps thousands
of loyal friends and supporters who
believed he was the best equipped

McRae was certainly not moved by
selfish considerations, neither wal

Making Christmas a Farce

There are some things that make Christmas a farce One Is self-indul- gence under the pretence of gener- osity, or rather, thinking you are generous when you are only doing something for yourself.
 What I mean Is this. A well-to-do person gives her well-to-do relative some handsome linen, which she knows the latter wants but does not quite like to buy for herself; while the well-to-do relative in turn spends a handsome desk set, which she has been delicately given to understand the other covets. What is there wrong in their doing this? Nothing. The wrong consists in that each feels that she has been generous. How were they any more generous than if each went out and bought what she wanted?
 Being Hateful to People Because You
 Are OverWorking.
 Another thing that makes Christ mas a farce is being cross and irri- table and generally unlovable in the holiday season, because you are work ing so hard at em mbroidery or shopping that you can't command your tenn per.
 Another is giving, because conven- ton demands it, gifts that you don't want to give, that you actually grudge and feel resentful about.

SPORTING WIDOWS"
 . THE SEASONS HIT

Many good things can be said of the Sporting Widows,' burlesquers, who opened weeks engagement at the Grand theater last evening, the troupe being easily one of the classi- est that has held down the boards at the playhouse thIs season. Come dians who are funny, songs that are new, handled by ent ertainers who know how to harmOnize and pretty girls, coupled with handsome cos tunes, are some of the bright tfea- lures that go to make upa, an attrac- ton that should prove to be a. big success before the end of the. week
 Seldom is a burlesque fitted out with
 so many features that insure suc- cess. Termed a musical hodge-podge Jacobs and JermCn, the managers, it
 would seem as if musical extrava- sanza was more appropriate. One of the features appreciated by last nights attendants at the show, was the introduction of number of .nusical hits, new to Hartford and
 suburban patrons. #5s .,.. i.
 The comedy roles are in the hands
 of Harry Cooper, Leo Hayes and Abe
 Leavitt, and it is a close race between
 the trio to determine who is the win ner. Cooper's style differs entirely , from that of other stars, and his an- tics cause plenty of merriment Hayes is a. dancer of renown, and the ec- yentric manner in which he goes through his terpsichorean stunts mer- it's the fine applause given. Besides being a clever talker. Leavitt is pos-

Included in the aggregation are some clever lar1at throwers and spinners. Cowboy pastimes are exhibited and the Indians give a demonstration of the dances of their race in the days when the redskin was king of the land" The act Is appreciated for it's novel features. There are a num- Der of feats worked into 1t which are deserving of attention and it is ex- pected that it will be popular all week.
 The Youngs, a family of clever musicians, entertain with several pleasing instrumental selections while Kelly and Berg offer a song and dance act that has many commendable at- tributes.
 Comedy has an important part in this weeks photoplay program. The fun is started by no less a parsonage than Charlie Chaplin, who Is appear ing in his latest success, Behind the Scenes" and he is continued by a number of comedy stars of the film world. The Chaplin attraction is to be kept for the entire week. It is the biggest fun maker in which the eccentric little fellow has been seen and the audience fairly hoWls with delight over it.

Another is being snappy and dis agreeable to those who serve you on your Christmas shopping tours. Some Ways to Make Christmas a
 Reality.
 There are also some things that make Christmas closer to what it was meant to be.
 One Is letting your thoughts wan der back into old times, and writing some little Christmas message straight out of your heart to some of those friends of the auld lang syne.
 Another is giving to the poor, and giving not in the spirit of patronage but of one who humbly pays part of great debt.
 For the Child of the Empty Stocking.
 Another is remembering that Christmas is the day of the child, and giving not only to the children of your own family and relatives, who doubtless have more gifts than. they can digest, but to the child who has but little.
 Another is trying to fill yourself so full of the true Christmas spirit of love and good will towards all men, that, as you go about your shopping and your Christmas prepa- rations, some of it shall spill over into your relations with others, and make you more considerate and der to your own.
