A Chicago publisher says the pub lic are getting tired of “sex” stories. But the sexes will never tire of each other’s company. The moving picture has found its way into the department store. A Little Rock firm is arranging to en- j tertain its customers with a moving picture show, and others will follow suit if it is a trade producer. Not one line has been said person ally in this column altout any can didate for office before the demo cratic primary. We have discussed issues, and left out personalities. But Congressman Oldfield refuses to discuss issues or his record in con gress, and attempts to mislead the voters, with an effort to bring m personal matters thaA has nothing under the sun to do with his quali- , fications as a congressman. Officials of the city of New York recently supplied a number of unem ployed with transportation to the farming sections, where farmers are offering S2O and $25 per month for hands, the former price for inexper ienced and the latter for experienced farm hands. Out of about 100 sent to the farmers, only three accepted employment. These men were un encumbered with families, and yet they had rather loaf in a city than earn an honest living at work. It is this class that is a menace to the country. PRINCESS -:THEATER:- TONIGII I Complete Change of Pro gram Tonight.

After the appearance of Trilby and the alleged hypnotic pow ers of Evengali were exploited, the hypnotic eye became an every day occurrence, the people were com pelled to do things against their will every time a mysterious “strange man with piercing black eyes” look ed upon them. The doctors exploded this nonsense by showing that no one can be hvpnotixed. Those who com mitted crimes, and in extenuation pleaded that they were hypnotized into doing so. have been exposed as frauds. The next delusion that we heard of was instantaneous anes thesia. People were rendered sud -1 denly unconscious by some one fiap < ping a handkerchief over their mouths, by throwing some sort of a narcotic under their chairs, or by hoisting it on a pole into their sleep : ing rooms. The doctors have ex ploded this fallacy by showing that nO one can be put under the influ ; enee of an anesthetic while they are ■ asleep. It will arouse them instant ly. All doctors know how- difficult i it is to get some people under the influence of the drug even when sur- , rounded by every facility. The latest j delusion to be exploded is the strange man with the black eyes who goes. about mysteriously and jabs a needle . : into the flesh of the beautiful young! lady, who simply falls into a swoon. , become* unconscious and is carried I off by the villain, to be subjected to such treatment as he chooses to be stow upon her. The doctors have j shown that in the entire pharmacop oeia there is not poppy nor man dragora nor any drowsy syrup of the world capable of rendering a person unconscious when it is suddenly in jected into their flesh The myster . ious needle game is a fraud and a! i farce. But the doctor* need not i felicitate themselves with the idea ■ that they are through exposing fakes and frauds. There are many others, and as soon as one is put to flight another will spring up. so that the work will continue on indefinitely. Secretary of St „u Bryan cele brated his nlth birthday Thursday.

T. J. Raney, candidate for j railroad commissioner from this dis- ! trict, is a citizen of Independence county, where he has made good as 1 a business man and a man of public I affairs. Mr. Raney represented this county in the lower house of the leg islature. and his course in this body resulted in his being chosen state senator from this district four years ago. He was regarded as one of the leaders of that body the two ses sions he served. He was chairman i of the insurance committee, and took | lan active part on the floor of the i senate in discussing legislation of all kinds, showing marked ability as a| debater. He is capable and ener-1 getic, and would be active as a mem-1 her of the railroad commission, and , should receive a strong endorsement ; at the polls by the voters of this' county. DRESSES DREADFUL. Mrs. Richard Bland Attacks Divorce । Evil and Talks on Question of Woman Suffrage. Denver, March 19. — “Women’s! , dress is dreadful. If suffrage and the modern woman’s movement were i responsible for modern dress, I would not be in favor of either. Luckily, | however, such is not the case.” i Sounding this strong note of dis appointment with the tastes of many j of her sisters, Mrs. Richard Bland. I widow of Richard (Silver Dick)' i Bland, congressman from Missouri i for a quarter of a century, has come ‘ to Denver as assistant internal rev । enue collector. I “I think women eventually will' I have the vote in every state," said Mis. Bland. "Only tune can tell how ' beneficial that change will be, 1 be lieve. however, the laws of Colorado have been better since the women ' here got the ballot. "Eugenics? I know scarcely en -1 ough about that to discu,ss it. but if j it will help cure the divorce evil, it 'is all right.
