WORDS FROM HOME
Statements that May BE Investigated
Statements of Madison
Citizens.

When a Madison citizen to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. Inves-
tigation proves IL true. Below is a
statement of a Madison resident.
No stronger proof of merit can be
had.
August Woitha, retired farmer,
Grant avenue, says: "Doan's Kid.

THE DOWDELL WAR RESOLU-
TIONS.
TONS.

Reader, l came to Dakota AZ years
ago; have reared, educated and am
proud of a real Daokta family of sew
en- sons and daughters; served my
country and state four sessions in
house and senate, and haze never
been charged with working for a by
law save those in the interests of the
common people. l am the democrat
ic candidate for congress in the First
district. My opponent and his back
ers have but IN crime charged
against me, that of introducing a dis
loyal resolution in the senate.
They have had free use of thou
sands of inches of space in the pa
pers of my district, to tell ~falsehoods
about those resolutions and defame
me, but refuse to publish the reso-
luton. They emphatically stated
that no declaration of war of defense
could be waged without a vote of
the people, under my resolution.

That the rules be suspended and
that the president of the senate APP

resolution conveying to the president
and the congress of the United States
the full assurance and united pur-
South Dakota to Loyalty support our
president in this trying hour"
Which motion prevailed and the fol-

I'VE, the legislative assembly rep

On page 410 the Journal reads:
"Mr. Dowdell offered the follow

Whereas, recent conditions of in

whereas, our desks are void of those

New-York tribune., 1918-05-05
BY Haywood Broun


Authors and dramatists have about
done with the cub reporter, but for
tunately he still lives in the movies.
OF course he still lives in the news
paper Offices, too, but there he is en-
ployed in the humble task of getting
the weather report and the days fire
record mixed up. He Is not much en-
gagged in saving the heroine. At least
not on office time.
The last movie about newspaper life
which we saw was called "A Leap to
Fame" and the star was a good look
ing young man named Carlyle Black
we'll. 1t was an interesting picture and
not much more wrong about news
paper life than usual.
The hero got his start on a great
metropolitan journal in curious way,
to be sure. His father cast him off
with $25 and ticket to New York be-
cause he didn't learn anything at Har-
ward except how to play poker and the
banjo. The old gentleman was quite
right. The sort of poker one learns
at Harvard beggars a man on Park
Row.
However, to get on with the story,
the hero, who is called Charles Trevor,
comes to New York and goes into a
newspaper Office to ask for job. 1t
didn't look like the Tribune Office, foa.
we couldn't recognize single face in
the city room. At that it may have
been. We haven't been down to the
Office for q couple Of days. This lad,
Charles Trevor, walks up to the city
desk to seek employment, and the city
editor, who is near-sighted. thinks he
is one of the members Of the staff and
hands him an assignment
"Cover Jefferson Market Court" he
says, although Charles Trevor is an
absolute stranger to him. We don't
know that this particular incident
ever happened. We never heard Of it.
but it's quite possible. City editors
are usually chuckleheaded like that,
and, personally, we make a point of
believing everything we hear about
them. A German spy is brought into
Jefferson Market while Charles is on
New-York tribune., 1918-05-05
Reporter as Movies See Hin,

the assignment, and while the young
reporter is engaged in taking notes
the spy breaks away. Charles Jumps
out the window after him and catches
him by borrowing an automobile. Spies
become sort of general assignment
with Charles after that. He is al
ways fighting with them, and in the
end he RECEIVERS the formula for the
mysterious explosive, has the two
spies arrested, and marries the hero
inc just as any able and conscientious
reporter would do.
There is one slight mistake in the
picture. This may have been the error
of the man who wrote the captions.
He always said something about "the
star reporter" whenever a certain thin
young man came into the Office on the
run. Not only did the thin young man
always enter the Office on the run, but
upon each appearance he Immediately
sat down at the typewriter and began
to turn out copy with great rapidity.
He had words for no one. Now, as
matter of fact, we are certain the thin
young man in hurry was not the star
reporter. We have seen too many.
The star reporter enters the Office with
big story of the day shortly after II
o'clock p. m. After taking off his hat
and coat and getting drink of water
he borrows a cigarette from a man on
the copy desk. Then he walks over to
the sporting department and finds out
in which inning the Yankees blew up.
After failing to get definite promise
for two seats for "Polly With Past"
from the dramatic department he
watches the rum game awhile and
makes suggestions.
When the night city editor speaks to
him about the story he says that he is
waiting to get the late details from
fellow who is hanging around the hos
pital. When the night city editor
speaks to him again he begins to work
in leisurely fashion, writing first SEN
tences and throwing them away. At
last he decides on "Bang! bangl broke
the silence of Broadway Sunday early
yesterday afternoon" and warns into
his story. He seldom misses the first
edition by much.
However, "a Leap to Fame" is a good
picture, but if the man who wrote the
titles is going to do any more for news
paper scenarios we'd like him 10 know
that the conscientious, thin man who
comes into the Office on the run and
turns out his copy SO fast is not the
star reporter at all. He's the dramatic
critic.

Petrova to Tour i'm
Thrift Stamp Campaign

Nine. Olga Petrova will at the COM
pletion of Patience Sparhawk" tenn
porarily cease her producing activi-
ties.
Nine. Petrova's doctor has ordered a
complete rest, but the indefatigable
Petrova. intends to do anything but
rest. She will start on tour of the
principal cities between New York and
San Francisco in the interest of Uncle
Sam. She intends to work not SO much
for the. Liberty Loan as for the pur-
pose of arousing enthusiasm for the
collection of war saving stamps.
Negotiations are now under way
whereby Nine. Petrova will make per-
sonal appearance in all of the more
Important theatres controlled by the
First National Exhibitors Circuit
which organization distributes the
Petrova pictures, and in addition to
delivering a little war talk. she will
give. brief programme of her own
original songs, poems, stories and
monologues.
Mme. Petrovas suggestion of making
her patriotic tour somewhat different
from the trips now being made by
several well-known motion picture
stars who are cooperating with the
government by speaking in behalf of
the thrift stamps rather than the third
LlperIy Loan mas met With great ap-
proyal at Washington. Instead of
raising the price at the theatres where
Olga Petrova, in addition to giving her
little war talk, presents the double bill
OF her unique fifteen minutes enter
tainment along with the showing of
her new pictures, the Polish artist pro
poses to require the purchase of one
25-cent war stamp with each orchestra
seat, and with each pair of balcony
seats. In this way many books will be
! started by persons who had not for
merly been interested in saving war
stamps
