It is a love story I with' very deep plot, but ao well I told It ia easily understood, and with I its masterful presentation Is an nu-| usually strong drama which will be of j great Interest. A Life For a Life Is a lively stofy which contains something of the char acterlstle features of a rebellion, and at the same time develops an Inter esting though somewhat complicated plot The drama is excellently acted and photography fine. How Foolhead Paid His Debts Is a comedy which is a veritable laugh producer. Foolhead who has m^de a number of his hits In different come dy role* reappears in this picture, antl his experiences are funny enough to please the most exacting demands.

What Imp of political perversity In spired Mr. Bryan to drag the fred eliver issue out of Its grave at this time? The Democratic party Is getting on Its f^et again. The country shows a disposition to forget the Democratic blunders of the past in an earnest deal re to rebuke the Republ ican party for lta broken promises, lta reaction ary leadership and lta alliance with privilege, plutocrary and high protec tion. In States like "New York. New Jer sey. Ohio. Indlsns, Illinois, Minneso ta and Kansas the Republican organ isation Is shot to pieces. In don gress the fight between reg^ilsf snd insurgent Is more bitter than the fight | between Republican and Democrat, "the shadow ofrthe Big Stick fiangs over Aie Republican the Return-from-Elba Club Is holding nightly meetings. There Is $t chance of elecntlg a Democratic Honee of Representatives In the fell, of Increas ing the number of Democrats :n the United States Senate and of electing Democratic Governors In various States now Republican, Including New York. For the flrst time In years Republican politicians are sorl ously considering the possibility of a Democratic President. But along comes Mr. Bryan wltb the cross of gold, the crown of thorns and the beaven-boru ratio to remind the country of 1896 and 1900. In his Jefferson Day letter he seizes up on one of Mr. Taft's excuses as vin dicating the Chicago platform and all the 16-to-l folly of two disastrous de feats: N I But there is another item of news which has just come to my attention. President Taft in his Lincoln speech at New York on February 12 attrib utes present high prices mainly to the Increase In the production of gold and the consequent enlargement of the volume of money. This unexpected Indorsement of our party's proposi tion In 1896, when we, demanded more money as the only remedy for falling prices, is very gratifying. How valuable tl^at admission would have been to us If It bad been made dur ing the campaign of that year, when the Republican leaderff^gre denying that the volume of money had any In fluence on prices and asserting that It did not mattgr whether we had much money or little, provided It was all good',? We may now consider the quanti tative theory of money established beyond dispute, and proceed to the consideration of other question*? Thus Mr. Bryan Indorse^ Mr. Tsft's defense snd helps him to acquit the Republican party of all responsibil ity for the Increased coat of living. If the advance of prices Is due to the greater volume of money/ then It Is clear that the tariff Is not to blame and that the trusts have been wrong ly accused. It makea Uttla/tf I (Terence to the consumer whether ?ne Dingier schedules were revised down or up? [tor the production of gold Is not af fected by the Payne-Aldrlch tariff. Mr. Bryan aaya In effect that the Increased production of gold has re sulted In the very economic condition that he waa trying to bring about by ANOTHER LOT THOSE MEN'S WHITE SHIRTS THAT EVERYBODY WANTS JD3T RECEIVED.

C., April 14.?A i light la to be made on the provisions | In the river and harbbr Mil author iziag the purchase of one of the two canals that form the third section of the Beaufort-Norfolk Inland water way. Senator Burton, of Ohio, a member of the Sanfcte Commerce Committee, filed a minority jreport to day In oppoaltlon to certain features of the river and harbor bill and be took a crack at the North Carolina waterway project, which It to estimat ed will call for a |BOO.000 appropria tion next year, ultimately costing three million dollars. Senator 81m none secured the adoption of the pro vision of the commerce committee, and he expressed the oplnoin tonight that he would be able to return It to the bill when It coaaaa up for com ?ration In the Senate despite the op position of Senator Burton. For years Mr. Burtbn opposed the project for the canalisation of the upper Cape Pear, bnt ha makes no point In his re port against the appropriation for the FayettevllIe-WUmlngton river provement. Ia tact he stood with Sanator Slmmona-to get the appropriation for the project. EDUCATION A Most Attractive Program is Being Arranged To Be Published Saturday. Preparations for a big educational conference to be held next Wednes day, April 20, In the First Methodist Church, this city*. Is' b*lng arranged. The meetings will begin at 10:30 a. m. People from all parts of the coun ty are expected to be present and take psrt In the deliberations. There will be a meeting of the alumnae of Trin ity College, to which every old stu dent of this college Is requested to be present. A full program of the oc caalon will appear In tomorrow's Dally News. Professor G. C. Brooks I of Trinity College Is expected to be present and dejlver an address on ed ucation' on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Thlo speaker has a State I reputation and his coming to Wash ington is hailed with pleasure by all our peoffle. Look for the program !h detail tomorrow. CJAIBTV TONIGHT. The Gaiety has two feature pic tures to offer lta patrons tonight. "Th? Cowboy and the Squaw" is one of'those rcr\l Western dramas: one that makos you tingle with the ex citement of the many thrilling scenes t\nd highly dramatic climaxes that is shown. To lovers of this class of pic tures this'one is the best that has evor bean offered in this city, and to witness the riding and other features shown in this One dim is a pleasure that all should avail themselves of. . In the "Livingston Case" you have one of the greatest detective stories of the age. No doubt many will re call this sensational case, which hap pened in New York State, and to them it will be of deep Interest. To those who do not recall the incident there will be no difficulty in under standing the plot as it is finely work ed out and is a masterpiece in this class of pictures. The illustrated song fdr tonight will be "Meet Me on the Board Walk, Deai^e." and it has one of those catchy T'patter" choruses which has been so well liked on former occas ions when Mr. Whlt{en has rendered one of this nature. Come out and enjoy yourselves. _ means of free silver, and that (be in creased cost of living therefore vin dicates the wisdom of the Democratic party in 1896. If this be true the higher cost of living ought to be ac cepted as a great Democratic prin ciple. An inspiring <w*y of opening an opposition campaign! A Joyful mcth od of appealing to the confidence of the country! A convincing scheme for making the voters believe that the Democratic party Is to be trusted and the Republican party is not!

A NIC There Ila Strong l/nderrurrent of I'BcmaliMM and (Hill l>anger of Conflict' and Bioodahed?The Gov ernor's ltcaaonn Haa lnrrraaed the Blttrrao?. Nashville, Tenn., April 14.?After night of wild rumors. In which threats of lynching were heard from the most Impassioned partisans, the excitement over the pardoning of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, the slayer of ox Senator E. W. Carmack. appeared to day to have aubslded. There remains, however, a strong under-current of uneasiness and any slight alarm Is likely to bring on con flict and bloodshed. Oovornor Malcolm R. Patterson haa Issued a statement regarding his motives In pardoning Colonel Cooper after the 8tate Supreme Court had af firmed his 20-year sentence, and or dered a retrial for his son# Robin. The governor's statement, which has done much to add to the trouble, reads: N "Tho tollopni are my reasons for pardoning uFD. Cooper, ss they ap pear upon the pardon: "At the January. 1909. term of the criminal court of our county of Da- i vidson. D. B. Cooper and Robin Coop er were convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to un dergo confinement of 20 years each in the State penitentiary, ataf the judgment of the lowfer /oicrt has Just passed in review bhl&rv the supreme fourt of the State, resulting in an af UnaiBie of the sentence as to D. B. Cooper and a reversal ns to Robin Cooper. Being thoroughly familiar with the record, having read all the Ustlmony and testified to certain facts '.vithin my personal knowledge, it is neither desirable nor necessary to delay action for petitions to be presented asking executive clemency. "In my opinion neither of the de fendant? is guilty and they have not had a fair and impartial trial. Imt. were convicted contrary to the law Bud evidence. The action of the su preme court In vacating the judg ment aB to Robin Cooper leaves the sentence of final conviction as to this co-defendant. The proof showed j that Robin Cooper killed the deceased j ^id that D. H. Cooper did not fire a J "hot. Without reflertion upon the (court it is inconceivable to my mind and repugnant to every principle of justice that a mm should he found gu'tiy of murder who was not In a conspiracy lo kill and who. in fact, did not kill." This statement had done much to spread bitterness among _thc advo cate.* of the Coopers and of Carmack. It is believed lh:it the implied cen sure on the prosecution and courts, in spite of the declaration that no slight is meant, can but result in fur ther dimension anU greater heat than any developed in the case, save by the actual Vllling of Carmack.

GETTING INTO LIKE Th; Independence Party Pledged to Democracy. GRAVES IS THE PROPHET Jolin Truplr Grain la Hpreeh Hays That His Party Will Help Um> IVm orrntu iiout the Republicans?The Republicans Have Bat One Hope, Theodore Roosevelt. Washington. April 14.?John Tem ple Graves, former candidate for vice prealdent of tbe United States on the Independence League ticket, arrived back In the Democratic ranks with his party, at the Jefferson Day din ner here last night, and amid cheers flung out the banner of William Ran dolph Hearst, Eugene N. Foss, the new representative and recent con vert to Democracy from' Massachu setsa, was warmly welcomed. It required four hours of good, old fashioned Democratic oratory to ap pease the post-prandial appetites of the several hundred diners. On the end of it all came the reading of the now famous letter from William Jen nings Bryan. In Braxil. As the mid night period length^ied Into the morning hours It began to look as If Mr. Bryan and bis missive had been quite forgotten. Mr. Graves converted the dinner into a scene of political enthusiasm unequalled In the capital In a decade. The sensation was sprung as a complete surprise after a dozen Dem ocratic leadors had bitterly arraigned the Republican administration and predicted a victory at the polls. He virtually pledged tbe Indepen dents to Democracy, but he declared a party "half Bryan, half Belmont, half Hearst, and half Ryan" cannot be harmonious. \ Declaring thai a new leader must be chosen, he tuld the diners to aban don "hybrid Democracy" and stand united against the divided Republican party. When he arose lo speak, immedi ately after Senator Gore had made a stirring attack upou the administra tion. he plunged straight into the subject with a statement that the old .discords must lie forgotten. "The Independence party has been simply a -party of protest against De mocratic bickerings, he said. "But the Independence partv stands for the people ntid it believes the lime has come, with a solid front in the array of Democracy, to join forces and light for the ccmmon cause, the de feat of a common enemy." When the 7(>'? Democrats caught the f;i!l htgnilicai.ee 01 the message ihe> arose in a body and the hall was filled with cheer*. Tumultuous ap plause lasted lor live minutes, and when it had subsided. Mr. Graves sounded hi* note of warning against further dlsiords and bade them heal ti e old tears and stand together. ".My position is slightly different from that of these eloquent gentle men." .Vr. Graves continued. "They come to speak for the orthodox par ty. i do not. But 1 admire their loyally, and i commend this spirit of harmony. "I come from an unorthodox camp ?from n camp of suspicion. But we have no apologies to offer for our de parture from* the treed, because we. too, are good Democrats, and na tional exigencies and former incon sistencies of orthodox Democratic leaders made it necessary that we separate. % "I come with full consent of the large Interest, and they stand as I do, hopeful of the future in the revived principles of true Democracy. We must put aside the differences of the past. The Republican party stands hopelessly d(*Yeated now. The spirit of the times is against them?the opinion of the nation arraigns them. That party can never recover com pletely from the slough it has fallen into. "They have one hope?this Colonel Roosevelt?and even now they are holding dinners and Joy parties and singing songs somethink like this: " 'Hush, little Infant, don't cry " 'Teddy's coming bye and bye." "They are relying on thiB one Afri can hunter to "bring home a lion skin to wrap their baby buntln' In'?the baby of the Republican party." Of course a woman can't remember very far back; she Isn't old enough. ? NEW ADVERTISEMKNT8. ? Gem Theater. ? J. K. Hoyt?Muslin Underwear. ? J. II. Harris Plumbing & Supply ? Co.?Roofing. ? Jas. K.
