CHARLES H. SYLVESTER
 SHOWS MARK OF ARTIST
Young Violinist Captivates Large Gathering of Music Lovers by
 His Genius and Skill

Young Charles H. Sylvester, son of Nr. and Mrs. Ben Sylvester, won ad- diticnal laurels last night when he captivated big gathering of music lovers, assembled in the auditorium of the Shriners' temple to attend re- cital by this talented young yiolinist.
 The youthful artist was assisted by Mrs. Jesse R. Core, contralto; Prof. J. H. Hoffnagle, his tutor, and Mrs. E. w. Bocage, who played the accom- paniments for the two solos, "Norwe- gian Love Song" and "Too Young to Love-" with which Mrs. Core pleas ingly entertained her hearers.
 The program included some diff cult numbers, young Sylvester dis playing genius, technique and indi- viduality in each. While the gathering applauded literally his every effort, it was his rendition of Kreisler's "Cap- rice Viennois" which seemed to capti- vate most.
 Altogether the performance was one that would have delighted music low CTS anywhere, and at it's conclusion predictions were freely made that the youthful artist was but entering upon career that will lead to fame.
 A group of national airs of the Uni- ted States and her allies, played by Sylvester after he had finished the set program brought great applause.

SENATORIAL RAGE
 HOLDS CENTER Cf
 STATES INTEREST
Women Voters to Have Big Hand in Robinson Brun-
 didge Battle.

Little Rock, May 27.-The senator ial race between Senator Joe T. Rob- inscn of Lonoke and Stephen Brun- didge of Searcy is overshadowing ev en the governors race. according to well-informed political observers not affiliated closely with either candi date.
 While both candidates are claiming victory by a good majority, reports indicate that vote will be close and the winner will not have a wide mar gin.
 In a telegram to Pine Bluffian last night Senator Robinson said: Advise our friends that reliable in formation received today from every county in the state assures my nom- ination by approximately 50,O00."
 Next, in interest is the gubernator- ial race in which Judge L. C. Smith of Dewitt is opposing Governor C.. H. Brough.
 Considerable mud-slinging has been indulged in by nearly all the candi- dates for state offices, and column after column of newspaper space has been used.
 The primary holds unusual interest because it is the first at which the women of the state will exercise their newly granted suffrage. Many thou sands have paid their poll tax and the vote will be much large i'll conse- quence.
 Urges Big Vote.
 Frank B. Tomlinson in the "Pine Bluffian" referred to in the forego- ing as having received the telegram from Senator Robinson, predicting a majority of 50,000. Joe Robinson has always been Jefferson county's friend" said Mir. Tomlinson. 'I hope every appreciative Democrat will go out and vote for him today.'

 TO U. s. SOLDIERS
Trade Commission Files Complaint Against Will
 son and Morris.

Washington, May 27.-The sale of thousands of pounds of spoiled meat and other foods to Camp Travis, Tex, is charged against Morris & Co.,, and Wilson & Co. in complaint issued by the Federal Trade Commission.
 The complaint says the food was unfit for human consumption" Most of it was detected and condemned but it is said some of it may have been passed and consumed. Details were withheld. The announcement and correspondence given out with it, how ever, show the alleged offenses occur red last December and are the same upon which indictments were obtained in Texas by the Department of Justice after an investigation by the Food Administration. The indictments were dropped because they were returned under the section of the food bill which carries no penalty.
 Since then the Food Administration and the commission have continued their investigation. If the complaint should be sustained the commission could do no more than order the pack CTS "to cease and desist" from the practices. Upon repetition, offenders may be haled into a federal court.
 A further report to the Food Ad- ministration from E. A. Peden, fed eral administrator for Texas, is en- pected this week. Officials of the ad- ministration say they probably will find some penalty even if only on the ground of food wastage.
 Corresponds between MT. Peden and MT. Boyden, chief of the Enforce ment Division of the Food Admins tration shows that MT. Peden report ed his belief that the trouble was the attempt of the packers to do business without proper facilities. It is charged that the unfit chickens were prepared in unclean surroundings by barefoot Mexicans in an unscreened room and only partially cleaned.

Of kinot at the annual Rotary Con-
vention at Kansas City, held recently
The report is so full of good points of

had only one regret, and that was
that every member of this Club could
NOT have been there to have enjoyed
and profited by the big things so forci-
bly, and clearly presented.
President Pidgeon in his report of
TIE years work, said:
"Rotary in 1917-1918 is not diff
ferent in kind but only in degree from
the Rotary of previous years. The
only difference is in the fuller develop
ment and realization of its ideal and
in the new duties which the year has
provided for it's attention.
"The encouraging feature is that
Rotary has not ceased to grow be-
cause practically all the nations in
which it is established are at war.
The reports of the year will show that
Rotary has really grown faster during
the war than at any previous time
This will encourage US in the belief,
which we have always held with ear
nestness, that Rotary is not luxury
for idle men, but an avenue through
which the highest type Of service can
be rendered to individuals, community
and country"
1t would have taken every member
of this Club days to report the pro-
ceedings, and I can not hope to more
than call your attention to a few of
the mountain peaks.

of the International Association, than
whom there is not q more noble and
worthy member of Rotary, and who
has no superiors and few equals as
a presiding officer, and who in his op-
ening address sounded the key note of
the Convention when he exemplihed,
Rotary as Living Force" His ad-
dress alone was well worth the price
of attending. Among other things he
said:
"Anything that is a living force
possesses life. 1t is not merely an arti-
fetal construction, such as building
or machine, useful as they may be.
They do not change except to grow
old and wear with use. But anything
which possesses the germ of life
changes and grows and presses out
into the open, where there is light,
air and space. Only when you have
seen it's most finished product can you
estimate the value of the germ from
which it started. "This is what the
crude beginning of Rotary was: 1--WE
only know the meaning of the Seeding
when it has pushed itself into the
light through bud, flower, leaf and
fruit" Rotary is not finished con-
struction, but an embodiment of life
which is struggling upwards into the
light. The acorn can not be made
by the chemist, though he may be able
to analyze and explain it. 1t pos
sesses that element from it's touch
with the deeper universe which we
call life. In Rotary this principle is
it's doctrine of service, and the signi-
ficant assumptions which lie behind it.
All modern thought is pointing to the
unity of our universe. It's explana-
tory note is zone God, one law, one
element and one fair divine event to
which the whole creation moves. One
of the significant expressions of this
unity is the doctrine Of service. 1t
was not created by Rotary. It would
not be a living force were it mere
construction. 1t is the essence of
our world. Rotary can be living
force only because through it some
thing of the very essence of our being
is finding an outlet.
eve are in the grip of the most
brutal war history has known. 1t is
a war of ideas. Truth is in conflict
with error. A doctrine of freedom
and liberty for all against the ger
manic idea of might is right-the doc
trine of the mass whipped into the
subsection of the few. The story
has not been told because it is not fit
to be told. But we know enough to
know all that is British, all that is
American, all that is Rotarian, all
that is human, yes, all that loves chi
valry and fair play, must rise in it's
might and stamp this hateful thing be-
yond the possibility of doing harm.
1t is no use to sign treaties and con-
tracts with a mad man, you must chain
him. 1t is equally useless to sign
treaties with those to whom treaties
are mere devices for deceiving their
neighbors; you must beat them into
submission. The kaiser quite sin
cerely invokes a god, who to US is a
devil. Nothing is more momentous
to a people than their conception of
goodness. It is as true of nations as
it is of individuals that as they think
in their hearts so are they. Those
who mould the nations thoughts and
shape it's ideals hold its destiny in their
keeping. The diviner, the man, the
larger the world for which he lives
