Cahin md Romnlnc Good.

Had il not been for the turn Of
JACK Cahill ami Den Romano at the
lyric last night the audience would
nave come away more bored than usual
These clever impe-sonators in fifteen
minutes of clean, but enjoyable. com
edy and good singing and yodcling got
across unusually well. and saved an
otherwise rather dull bill The act
was far above par
l.ehr. 1tvncndson and Mari were
styled AS The BOYS From Over There"
on the program, proba bly meaning that
they saw service in France. If this is
the case. it is regre;tablc That they
were not sent into Germany with the
army q occupation and audiences on
this side spared their attcnps at sing
ing and comedy. They could neither
sing nor be funny; although they
seemed to he well pleased with their
own efforts. II took an especially
good act like that OF Cahill and Ro-
maine TO convince those present that
they were witnessing q real show
The Renzcttas opened the bill with
Juggling act. Van y. Shelton e. Co
put on A bombastic one-act comedy
called Married Life" and Jonia. very
modestly called the Pearl of Hawaii
OF me program. and her company OF
H!waiians tried desperately to keep
the audience seated until the close OF
the show, but failed.

On Being Fat

There's not much sense in be-
ing fat, in wearing too much
lard; the weary years have
taught me that, for I'm an obese
bard. Diseases punk l. enter
tain, dire ailments two or three !;
and, though Pm twisted up with
pain, l get no sympathy. Men
laugh to hear a fat man groan !;
and though he's feeling tough,
and has an ache in every bone,
they think it all a bluff. If l
were thin and drawn and pale,
they would not treat me thus !;
If I put up an anguished wall,
they'd make all kinds of fuss !;
with soothing words they'd
quell my fears, and bid my pains
depart, and shed the sympathetic
tears that reach a sick mans
heart. But | am fat and when |
yell they all begin to laugh; and
they'll be laughing till my knell
proceeds my epitaph. A lean man
falls, and people sigh, and Won
der if he's hurt; they bring his
hat, arrange his tie, and brush
from him the dirt. There's ten
der feeling in the glance that
every one bestows, and for a
padded ambulance some sym
pathizer goes. A fat man falls
all in heap, and telescopes his
spine, and people stand around
and weep-but laughter brings
the brine. The fat man goes his
greasy way, with large and
bullying vest, and to the whole
world, every day, his every
moves jest.

To date 46,5S7 lic- enses have been issued, against 39,752 for a similar date in 1918. and 1.45S for the entire year of 1918. According 10 showing made in the last half of 1918. only about 2,00Q more licenses will be issued this year. but last year at this time it was almost impossible to secure machines, and now the man. ufacturers are just getting back to something like pre-war production. This may cause a demand for cars. but Commissioner Owens does not eX- pect to see more than 5Oo00 tags is sued this year
 An effort will be made in the next legislative session to make a change in the law governing dealers licenses. Many who are not legitimate dealers have secured these. and it is figured that the state had been defrauded out of much revenue thereby

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
 ONE YEAR FROM NOW
Many Candidates are Being Mentioned For State and District 0fhces.
 But Few are Candidates.
Special to the News.

1 Special to the News
 Little Rock, Aug. 15. = The neXt 1 Democratic primary will be held 2 year from this week but there is al ! ready as great an activity among the candidates as though the election wer. { to be held next March, as it was . few years ago, Candidates insist up- on running the full course. and the quarter horse appear to be in disre- pute. The offices most frequently mentioned at this time are of gover- nor, |. s. senator, and Commissioner of State Lands. The big interest will ! center in these offices.
 One of the most interesting situa- tions appears in Nevada county, where there are two aVOWed and one pros pective candidates for governor. Judge Geo. R. Hanie and former Congress- man T. c. McRae have announced as candidates and State Senator J. O. A Bush has indicated that he is consid- ering making the race Both Mr. Me Rae and Judge Hanie have made pub lie their platforms. Judge Haynie has also proposed an elimination primary for Nevada county, to determine which shall make the race, but Col. Mc!Rae has not at this time made answer to the challenge.
 The race for United States Senator, likely to be run through as three cornered event, is beginning to take on some evidences of life, and by early spring should develop into a spirited contest, with three af the states most popular and astute campaigners in the race, it should not lac, for thrills and genuemanly, high toned sensations as the campaign progresses.
 There are several men who have been nor or less prominently mention ed for governor, who are still consid- ering the serious question of to be and not to be. In a majority of the eases il is a. safe prediction that they will adopt the safe route which is the neg ative.
