drama; no art is lost. This great play
lives again in greater scope and
grandeur through his touch and vivi-
fication. When Lottie Blair Parker
and Joseph Grismer brought forth
this drama at time before people
We're. accustomed to think in or of
the theater it was referred to as a
rural play; Griffith has utilized it
to bring forth the story of a woman's
soul and thus lay bare truths as ur-
ban as Broadway and as universal as
the skies. In this picturiztion, spec
tators are transformed from pasto-
raj solitudes to the glitter of city
life, thus furnishing series of con-
trasts that enhance the dramatic val
ues of the offering. The delightful
COMEDY scenes of simple country folk
are retained and even amplifed, while
the finale brings forth the great snow
storm scenes ending with the stupen-
,dous crashing iee-gorge, all of which
are presented in a manner the public
has come to expect in Griffith pro-
duction. The orchestral accompani-
ment is said to be the most preten-
tious yet attempted in connection
with a photodrama presentation.

During his short visit here DR..
Keister enjoyed the splendid roads

flowers blooming in the well kept
gardens in the city, and the trees
green and in full leaf, he said that it

back with him to his native state.
He jocularly remarked that the eli

DR.. BARTON'S
DAHYLETTER
LIVING FASTER.
BY DIR. VIM. E. Barton.


a BRAHAM Lincoln delivered his
"A address in Cooper Institute New
York, on Monday, Feb. 81. The pre-
ceding day he had heard Henry
Ward Beecher preach. That address
was one of the notable steps in his
ascent to the presidency.
No Chicago paper, as / am inform
ed by man who has recently search.
ed the files, made reference to the
address next day, though to Illinois
it was of great moment. Apparently
no single word was telegarphed from
New York.
Chicago papers in 1860 wasted
very little money in telegraphing.
They could wait for the mails and so
could their readers.
But in 1885, when the revised YER
sion of the New Testament was
brought out Chicago newspaper
had every word of it telegraphed
from New York where the first copy
had just arrived that it might appear
in full in print "a hours earlier than
if sent by mail.
So much of change had been
wrought in 25 years. To be sure, the
New Testament was more important
than even Lincoln's speech, but peo-
pie already had the Testament and
besides, the Testament was longer
and more expensive.
Living faster is no assurance of
living better; but neither is there
virtue or saving grace in being be-
hind the methods of ones own day
and generation.
Trousers may be less graceful than
a Roman toga, but the man of today
cannot do business in the garb of the
days of Noah or of julius Caesar or
of Adam.
We move with our age or we are
left behind. There is no virtue in
living in the past. The past was
present yesterday and today it is as
certainly past as the days of HAM
bal and Xerxes. The language the
method, the mental approach must
be those of today.
There was a time when no railroad
used a telegraph line for its own
business; but the railroad that would
thus operate today would go out of
business with a great crash Every
business must conduct itself in the
life and spirit of its own generation.
And that is as true of education and
religion as it is of anything else.

since elevation to the Craftsmanship
last night reviewed the republican adj
ministration of national affairs since
last March and contrasted this with
"the unparalleled achievement" of
the democrats in the previous eight
years.
The address, which was given at
dinner here in his honor by the
state democratic executive commit
tee and attended by party leaders
from throughout Tennessee generally
was accepted as the opening of the
congressional prediction campaign
by the new chairman.
Further relief for farmers, ade-
quate compensation for veterans, re-
duction of taxes to compensate for
the panic conditions" now obtaining
and remedy for the situation result
ing from the flood of tax exempt Sc
curities were among the issues that
Mr.. Hull outlined.
"The democratic party is the only
political organization" Chairman
Hull commended, (which today offers a
comprehensive, up-to-date national
program of policies and principles"
The party, he continued, "still holds
its belief in a tariff for revenue only
for economy in governmental expen-
ditures and for equal rights to all
and special privileges to nome"
Mr.. Hull declared that the demo-
Gratis are loyal and consistent friends

cratic party when in power did more
to advance the interests of the far

adjustment of the public debt SO it
would not-be oppressive and said that
the states rather than the federal gov

an uniform policy with 1.-The growing
evil of tax exempt securities"
Criminal malignity and reckless
falsehood," on the part of republican

of solemn and unqualified promises
to the people constituted statuotary
crime every reactionary republican ,
leader, state and national, would UNI
