There are undoubtedly some cheer- ful minds among the folks who ge: Lp the moving picture plays. We have Lefore us a program, the principai fedfture of which is a thriller, denom- inated as “His Mother's Shroud.” Nice, cheerful little skit to enliven your spirits after a hard day's work, jsn't it? Something for you to go tome and dream about, and make you chuckle in your sleep. All of us have scen the beautiful child, who Kkisses its mother good-bye and runs cut to chase a butterfly and is promptly run down and killed by an sutomobile. The cruel, drunken fa- ther, the faithless wife, the ungrate- tu] son, figuring in pleasant little dramas, where harrowing death-hed scenes are the most tures, frequently contribute to our cvening's joyous relaxation, Sometimes we wonder what kind o! wiscrable misanthropes thosc who prepare these gruesome pictures with which to swat in the face the tired people who go to the theater to be amused and entertained, and 1ot the purpose of lachrymose facial irvigation. 1f we had our way with some of the producers of these morbid plots, wo would preseribe a tablespoonful of calomel three times a day until their livers got in better condition, The picture play is among the greatest of recent inventions, 1t is it structive and educational; properly censored, it can be of great value as a means of inculcating moral lessons in a pleasing, effective way. The thing needful is for those who pre- pare the films to cut out the tragic and suggestive, and deal only with the pure, sweet and wholesome situ- afions with which life abounds. Ev- ery proprietor of a picture show should write the producer of films and urge the importance of this re- form. Every newspaper should ad- vovate it. The picture play is the most popular and has the widest ap- pteal of all amusement institutions. Let it be made a power for good, a stimulus to laughter and good cheer, rather than a caterer to morbid tastes, or a suggestive influence to- wards evil. “SHOULD ABOLISH CONVENTION AND NOMINATE IN PRIMARY. "' (Frank 1. Mayes.) In a special dispatch to his paper, the Pensacola Journal, Frank 1. Mayes, writes as follows: “The proceedings of the Democratic convention offer the most conclusive reasons why national conventions should be abolished and candidates le nominated in a primary. They call @ national convention a deliberate essembly. It is nothing of the kind it is a mob. “Not one-tenth of this conventioa bas, at any time, been able to hear what was zoing on or to understand it. “1 predict that there will be bu one reat national convention ofter four years henoe Wo will nominat, our candidates just s we elect them by direct vote of poople™ Do not zo ont of vo 1 good, but d» zood whenever it comes your way.

Cineinnati, July 1, one of the leaders in the presidential contest at the timore Democratic convention, was graduated from the Cincinnati College of Law in April, INTH, after two years of study, lle was a classmuate of Attorneys Otway Cosgrave and Lawrence Maxwell, of this city. Clark worked during his spare hours to earn money to aid in defraying cou Champ Clark, the expenses of the law A\Ilul'lll')‘ Cosgrine was one to whom he appealed to join in a pe- tition for more night courses. The petition was made by a large number of working students and was acted upon favorably by the faculty. “Kven during his school days,” re- marked Attorney Cosgrave last even- ing, “Clark showed marked ability. 1 remember his room, which was orna- mented with an old-fashioned shot- gun, quaint houschold furnishings and the usual law books of that pe- riod. At that time Clark was a big, ungainly country boy from the back- woods of Kentucky. “He spent most of his time in hard study. That was typical of Champ Clark. He engaged in no dissipation and was a faithful attendant at all lectures and class meetings.” THE DEADLY FOURTH. H A general agitation is going \»fi al! over the country in behalf of a kane 'eurth.

The goose, seeing the worm, bit at it and got caught by the hook. When caught, the man ran, pulling the bird after him. The bird, by flapping her wings, alarmed the farmer's wife, who came cut to the gate, and, seeing the man running and the goose following, she exclaimed: “Don’t be afraid, my good man; she won't touch you." Lesson in Humility. “As long ez I wuz po'," sald Broth- er Willlams, at a revival, “I wuz hum- ble enough ter be thankful for what 1 wuz 'bout ter receive. But one day I found $10 in de big road. After dat I went about holdin’' my head so high dat I couldn’t see what waz befo' me, an’' I fell in a dry well, an’ stald dar three days, hollerin’ fer folks ter pull me out. Satan hisself wuz once an angel in heaven, but he couldn't stand prosperity, an’ look whar he Is now!” — Modern Medical Doctrines. At a conference on hospital social service in New York city one of the speakers sald that the hospital of the future must keep a record of the so- clal histories of all patients, just as now thelr medical histories re kept. Rhubarb and soda. sald another speak- er, illustrating the necessity for peychological remedies for patients, had in one case proved useless as & cuvre for indigestion until the sufferer, a grief-stricken mother, was relleved from worry over an absent boy.
