1.-THE HIDDEN SCAR.


Holbrook Blinn and Ethel Clayton,
both players of undoubted popularity
III Birmingham, are co-starred in THE
Hidden Scar" a five-part World Film
production at the Strand theatre to-
day. This pair of screen favorites
were last pictured in Birmingham in
Husband and Wife" when they
scored a distinct hit and The Hidden
Scar" Is heralded in advance notices
as screen drama that even surpasses
all the former efforts of Mr.. Blinn and
Miss Clayton.
One Of the most interesting an
nouncements of the season at the
Strand theatre is that THE Fall of
Nation" the gigantic war spectacle
of the Rev. Thomas Dixon, the au-
thor of The Clansman, the book
that inspired 1.-The Birth of a Nation
will be shown in the near future.
.ANENT KEYSTONE COMEDIES
Mack Sennett, the creator of Key
stone comedies, is a benefactor to
mankind in that he makes it laugh.
This Sennett is probably the most
fecund inventor of the slapstick
masque the civilized world has ever
seen. Spectators of his film farces
are fascinated and not inconsiderably
bewildered by the resourceful imagi-
nation of the fellow. An erstwhile
chorus man in the musical comedy
shows of 10-odd years ago, Sennett has
done the work he set out to do with
a skill so complete, with a fertility so
copious that he has graduated him
self as the foremost bachelor of Gus
tard-pie arts, the foremost professor
of the bladder He is, in short, the
very best entrepreneur of low comedy
the amusement world has known. He
has made probably twice as many
millions laugh as have all of Shape
speare's clowns and all the music
show comedians on earth rolled to-
gether And laughter knows no caste,
no altitude of brow.
IN PASSING
A movie star is known by the com
pany that keeps him.
1t is getting so that derby hat in
movie scenes arouses conjecture.
Silas Makeshift, who claims that all
the scenarious he created were pro-
duced as written, has returned to
waiting on tables.
The fellow who shoves the point of
his shoe between the joint on movie
seats makes 1t quite comfortable for
the person in the seat. However, if
one slips forward a little, one avoids
the discomfort of feeling a foot in the
small of ones back. Burning oil is
too mild punishment for such an
offense.

Latest returns from the Nebraska
primary election indicate that William
Jennings Bryan ran sixth in the con-
test for delegate-at-large to the ma
tional Democratic convention. This
means that he was defeated, as the four
receiving the highest number of votes
will attend the convention.
The people of Nebraska have been
long and patient sufferers from Bryan
ism, having stood by William for 20
years or more, but there is an end to
everything in this world. The new
generation that has grown up since ne
successfully peddled his "cross of
gold" bunk, evidently look upon the
'fboy orator of the Platte'' as a back
number.
A Democratic convention without
Bryan running it will be a rather tame
show, but unless he can slip in on a
proxy he will not be entitled to a vote
in that body this year.

Another election and another Demo
crat giving way to a Republican sue
eessor. This time it is in Kansas City,
Missouri, where a mayor was chosen.
The Republican tendency of 1916 is by
this time well established. The Kan
a City election is of particular i'm
portance, for it demonstrates the solid
foundation on which Republicans are
basing their claim to put Missouri in
the Republican column this fall. The
President may attempt to stem the
tide by appointing a few more Mis-
souri, Democrats to fat offices, but the
fact remains that Missouri, like the
country at large, has set its face towarl
Republicanism this year.

When Senator Chamberlain, of Ore

TO defend Democratic free trade poll
cies, he is likely to be confronted with
a statement made by him in the Senate
on March 18th while discussing the
army reorganization bill. Senator
Chamberlain admitted that the Ameri-
can army costs more per man than any
other army in the civilized world, and
said:
"The American soldier, like the
American laborer, demands to be
better fed, better clothed, and
better taken care of. Place our
army on the basis of some other
army and you would not have a
corporal's guard in the United
States.'
"Like the American laborer," is the

NO MONOPOLY OF
PATRIOTISM

The deliberate effort of Democrats Il
mix partisan politics in foreign affair.
is illustrated by this paragraph from
the Portland, Oregon, Journal:
"People who are trying to sub
marine the Wilson administration
should be forcibly reminded that
it has the nation honor on
board"
If that means anything at all, it
means that in the opinion of Demo
Gratis, maintenance of the nation IS
honor requires reelection of Woodrow
Wilson. 1t may be just is well to let
the Journal and all other Democrats
know that the nations honor is not
monopolized by any one man or by any
one party. A part can never be greater
than the whole. By its action, either
the Republican party or the Demo
cratic party may embarrass the gov
eminent or give it cause for pride, but
national honor never did and never
will depend upon the continuance or
retirement of any party that ever did
or ever will exist.
Moreover, it is also a good time to
let all Democrats Understand that a Sc
ries of foreign ''crises'' will not be
permitted to cover up the multitude of
official sins for which the presnt ad-
ministration should be and will be
called to account. We have not yet
fallen SO low in civic standard-we are
not so absolutely wanting in states
m~anship, that we must give popular
approval to a party that has broken
practically all its important campaign
pledges, for fear we shall sacrifice the
nations "honor."
Next November the American people
win put the Democratic administration
on trial and judge it fairly and impair
italy. They will weigh it in the bal
ance and if they find it wanting, they
will not hesitate one moment to so de-
clare. They will not judge it by any
one or two aets-by it's foreign policies
or by its domestic policies alone. They
will take its whole record into eonsid-
Grafton and east their ballots as seems
to them wisest for the good of our
common country whose chief purpose
is to promote our welfare at home
through all the years of peace, rather
than to solve the problems of rare and
uncertain periods of war.

Several weeks ago a number Of Re

Democrat to give a list of public ques-

Of Importance and upon which Presi-
dent Wilson has not changed his mind
since he was elected. So far as observ-
ed, no one has undertaken to make up
such a list. There is still plenty of
time and we should be delighted to
read a list prepared by some of Presi-

Tom Taggart thinks that Governor
Ralston should run for Senator in In
diana, and the governor thinks Tom
should try it. Fact is that each one
knows that no Democrat is going to be
elected Senator from Indiana this year
and he wants the other fellow to take
the odium of defeat. Mainline, Tag
CART will hold the office by appoint

SUCH AS IT WAS
II Was a Great Game Played In the
League Park Thursday Afternoon
Between Frankfort and
MaysvlIle.

After about two and a half innings
of farce comedy baseball, in which
there occurred seven two-base hits,
one triple, and one home run, Man
ager Holmes Of Frankfort, chased of
the field twice and then called back,
the score standing to s in favor of
Maysville. Umpire Franklin forfeited
the game to Maysville 8 to O.
The trouble began in the last half
of the first Kaiser singled, Jones
doubled, scoring Kaiser, Tinin safe on
Kimbles error, Williams hit by pitch
er, Kohlbecker hit to third, Henges
overthrowing at home allowing Jones
to score. Tinin also came in and the
Frankfort team, before Franklin
could make a decision, DEMANDED that
Tinin return to third. Tinin was or
dered back to third and Manager
Holmes was ordered to leave the field
Instead of complying he grabbed the
umpire around the neck and began
choking him. officer Tolle then escort
ed Holmes of the field, but he only got
as far as the bleachers. Another scrap
ensuing he returned to the field only
to be ordered out of the grounds.
In the second frame Maysville
scored four, due mainly to bad play
ing of the Old Taylors. In the third
the game broke up. Shepherd famed,
RAISED walked and was out trying to
steal second Jones was hit on the
hand by a pitched ball. He went 90.
second on wild pitch and came home
on another one. Monroe refused to
pitch, but finally after much arguing
in which the umpire refused to order
Jones to return to third, Monroe threw
one ball, which Thin hit for a home
run to right, the right fielder standing
between first and second yelping at
Franklin. Franklin then declared the
game forfeited. The game was pro-
tested by Holmes.
1t is estimated that the number of
feet run by the various players in
coming into argue with the arbiter
would, if put in a straight line extend
from Xenia, Ohio, to Slipup, Ky. Such
exhibitions while funny and great
stuff for the press does not appeal to
the fans.

OF hearing almost the same program
as the one to be given here next week

Mr.. Boone spoke Of the various num-

the lectures. OF Montraville Wood,
the scientist who demonstrates the

work is nothing short of marvellous;
he not only entertains everyone, young
and old, but his lecture is instructive
and never to be forgotten. He also
spoke highly of the musical numbers
being especially well pleased with the
Maurer Sisters and the band. OF Miss
Alice Nielsen he said: Perhaps TWEEN
ty-four hundred people heard her sing
and ! am sure they all went away
pleased. She is not only a great ar
list but her selections we're of such
a nature that the unmusical could en-
