ing the former followers Of President
Roosevelt. He Is expected to bring
considerable strength to democracy
in the west where president Roose-
welt held away to such advantage.
Think West Susceptible.
Democrats believe that the west
will be quite susceptible to favors
shown members Of the republican
party. who have at one time or
another been prominently identified
with the bull moose In many quar-
tiers they seem to believe that the
strength they may obtain from what
are normally republican states
should come from progressives.
Republicans, however, see in the
announcement from Senator Hiram
johnson. of California, that he will
throw his strength to Warren G..
Harding. the republican candidate.
@ distinct blow to the hopes Of demo-
Gratis. Harding's success in rallying
to the party banner all elements
within the party has been a source
Of great satisfaction to republicans.
It IL believed that he will be able
to offset all attempts by democrats
to utilize their appointive powers to
their advantage by bringing the re-
prblicans more solidIy together than
they have been for eight years. Re-
publicans can not see that the presi-
dents out-of- party appointments
have drawn from their strength.

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, July 13.--As q result of
the double tragedy at Adams, Iowa,
few months ago, when Frank
Adams, well-to-do farmer, shot
and killed his wife and then himself,
an unusual lawsuit has been started
In the Adams county district court.
The administrator of the wife's
estate. which, as she preceded her
husband in death, would prevent her
being his heir, is suing the husbands
estate for $4,000 damages for the
murder Of Mrs. Adams.
Mr.. Adams had two children by a
former wife, and two by the wife he
killed. He left large property hold
ings which will be settled upon such
heirs as are determined by the court.
1t is rarely that courts, district or
supreme, are called upon to decide
such legal question, and the claim
Is unique in the history Of the local
district court, attorneys say.

Bid For Progressive Not..

Democrats are fostering fond hopes
OF making inroAds upon the republi-
can strength between now and Mo-
vember by way Of rendering govern
mental appointments to leading pro
gressive within the pale of the G. O.
P. This was apparent with the ex-
pectation that President Wilson
would choose the three republican
members Of tho new shipping board
from the progressive wing Of tina,
party.
Representative Thomas Hefiin, OF
Alabama, who recently was elected
to the senate in the state primaries
pointed out that already the presi
dent had made strong bid for pro-
gressive support of the democratic
ticket In the appointment of Victor
Murdoch to the Craftsmanship Of the
federal trade commission, and Balm
bridge Colby to the post Of secretary
of state.
He also cited the election Of John
Parker. as governor OF Louisiana, as
evidence that the democrats had a
very cordial regard for progressive
republicans. Mr.. Parker was a sup
porter Of President Theodore Roose-
welt. but later abandoned that cause
to Join the democratic party and be
rewarded with the governorship OF
his state.

is ANY WOMAN EVER
TRULY A MAN Halter

"No woman in her heart ever really |
hates men, if she is normal woman |
in healthy mental condition" asserts
a student of psychology and mental
diseases. Insane women may have
an antipathy for men, but normal
women are naturally attracted, if not
to all men, at least to some men,
When woman asserts that she hates
all men you may take it for granted
that she has grudge against one par
ticular man, and that she is eager and
ready to have some other man prove
to her that he is different, that he
really appreciates her, that he really
loves her."
If that conclusion is correct, what
would account for the avowed aver
sion of Miss Hobbs, heroine of Je-
rome X. Jeromes sparkling comedy
of the same name, for all mankind?
Miss Hobbs was young, she was pref.
ty, she was magnetic, and surely no
mere man had ever Tilted or wounded
her Then why did she hate men, and
do all in her power to break off the
betrothals and even marriages of her
women friends?
Perhaps the best explanation for
Miss Hobbs strange attitude towards
the sterAer sex lies in her own very
.h.l and unusual personality She
was proud, independent, spirited, and
lonly to be won by someone stronger
than herself. Her attitude was her
unconscious defiance to the men
weaker and less determined than her.
self She was at heart, though she
never had remotely suspected the
fact, a very primitive woman, sim
ply waiting for someone with cave
man qualities to subdue her strong
pride.
The role of Miss Hobbs provides &
delightful comedy opportunity to tina
gifted young actress, Miss Wand;
F, fIawley. AS Miss Hobbs she makes
| her Realart debut, and it is a define
alton that both she and Realart off
cials may well be proud to offer tn

g big cast Of favo,ite players, goes

shown at the Casino Theatre every

Deep into the jungle went the dar-
ing company Of players to enact the
scenes of this thrilling and intensely
adventuresome story, Drawing the
very jaws of death in their determine
ton to picture the terrifying dangers
of these strange lands, uncivilized
peoples and ferocious beasts. So
while introducing all of the wild an
finals usually found with the bigger
circus, The Lost City" pictures them
in their native baunts, and for the
most time unfettered and free.
Hazardous indeed was the venture of
the big company, but the story called
for realism, and this could hardly
have been possible with Gagged or
tanned animals; hence the trip into
the jungle itself to tempt the many
beasts to display their natural Zero.

tors and actresses portrayed the many
scenes of the exciting story.
To the beautiful and equally cour.
ageous Juanita Hansen, who enacts
the role of The Lost Princess, must
be given great share Of the credit
for the realism Of this wonderful
story, for it was to her that the story
called for the most daring chances;
and that she met the test again and
again in scenes that must have
seemed far more real than any spec
tator who views them can imagine, is
monumental testimony to her courage
and nerve-the more noteworthy be-
cause of the fact that she is but a
mere slip Of a girl.
| To deliberately place herself with
in reach of ferocious, untamed lions
and leopards, trusting entirely to the
ability Of another person to lasso a
flight before it could fasten its claws
and teeth upon her, must call for
more than mere ordinary courage
and one cannot fail to share the thrill
that must have been hers when this
sensational scene is shown in one OF
the many episodes of this most un
usual screen drama
One thing is certain, "The Lost
