HERO OF "THE ROMANCE OF TARTAN" AN EXPONENT OF PHYSICAL CULTURE.

Elmo Lincoln, the ape-reared hero of The Romance of Tarzan," repeats and underscores his successful char acterization of the successful char acterization of the white son of the jungle in the screen production of the concluding chapters of "Tarzan of the Apes" Edgar Rice Burroughs masterpiece of wild nature, which be- gins it's local engagement at sthe Palace theatre next Sunday.
 A native of San Francisco, Elmo Lincoln in His own life exemplifies many of the striking principles of strength-building through natural liv- ing that are brought out so forcefully in the depletion of TarZan's charac- ter on the screen. As a baby, Lin coin contracted a severe case of men ingitis which left him with weak physique. Determined to overcome this handicap. however he took up the study of physical culture early in life, and for years spent all Of his days and many of his nights in the open, eating the simplest and most nutritious foods and vigorously es chewing alcohol and tobacco in ali forms. By the time he was ready to enter high school wound Lincoln was the tallest and strongest boy of his age in San Francisco and on many occasions showed himself the mas ter of grown men in wrestling and boxing contests.
 At the age of seventeen he took up wrestling professionally, and for sey- eral years toured the country, meet ng many of the best men in his class, and always giving good account, 0f himself. as the many cups and tro- phies in his possession today attest Wrestling opened a way te tha sta5v. and from the footlights to the silent drama became a natural transition, His first big part in the pictures was that of the Two-Sword Man in D. w. Griffith's Intolerance" and on the reputation thereby gained he was later starred in Triangle-Fine Arts productions
 It was not until he had given to he screen his masterly characteriza- tion of he hero of "Tarzan of the Apes" that Elmo Lincoln's name be- mace familiar to millions of motion picture patrons in all parts of the world however.

SAYS LEASED CONVICT
FARM TO STATE OF TEXAS

Washington. April 26.-Rep1ying
late today to a TELEGRAM from Charles
Johnson Post. di: cctor of the publish
ers' advisory board, regarding the use
of convict labor on his plantation in
Texas, Postmaster General Burleson
said:
Answering your wire. The full
facts in connection with the lease to
the state of Texas of the plantation
in which ! was Interested. upon which
the state used its convict labor and
the terms of the contract in connec-
ton Herewith have been placed be-
fore the congress more than once and
have long been a matter of public
record 1t would be cutie interesting
for you to publish now and later have
laid before congress the facts in the
same detail about moneys raised and
spent to secure the repeal of the zone
postage rate law. OF course you
know as the New York World did
when it published this falsehood that
| did not use convict labor on my
plantation but that the plantation was
leased and cultivated by the state of
Texas and the conViCts used thereon
were at all times under the states
exclusive control and management"
Later Mr. Burleson issued a stat
ment declaring that the resolutions
adopted yesterday by the Publishers
association committed to it "a petition
for the repeal or suspension of the law
increasing the rate of postage on
newspapers and magazines"
This makes the issue plain said
Mr.. Burleson's statement. should
the law be repealed or should it be
permitted to stand?
THE statement that the public and
not the publisher, suffers by the zone
rate is an insult to the intelligence Of
the American people. However much
selfish publishers may attempt to
camouflage the situation, the thought
full, intelligent reader will not lose
sight of the real issue: Shall the old
time 100000 postal subsidy, taken
from the pocket of others users of the
mail, he restored to the few parasite
publishers who have for years plum
dered the postal revenues?
1T shall not be if by the use of the
bludgeon of truth the present post
master general can mound the honest
facts into the minds of those upon
whom the final responsibility rests"
