PARkKi; MA UK GRF.AT M'KKCH. Observer Says his Charge in Riot Case Will Be lOiig Remembered. The Charlotte Obserer. in giving an account of the closing day of the Charlotte riot trial, makes the follow ing flattering remarks about the speech of Mr. Parker, who appeared, with Mi. A. M. Slack, for the prose cution : "The speech of John J. Parker, the youngest member of the legal trio representing the prosecution, but one of I he ablest of the six lawyers en gaging in trying the case, will be re membered here as one of the most brilliant and eloquent heard iu Meck leiihurk courts iu many y ears. "Mr. Parker spoke after Mr. Clark son and he had the undivided atten tion of every man in the court-room, witnesses, attaches and spectators. The court gave all of the attorneys the ti i most intention. "Resinning at the beginning, Mr. Parker went over the entire case. His attilitd", he made plain, was not an tagonistic to the defendants. Like his partner. Mr. Stack, he thought very highly of a number of the of ficers, especially those whose homes are in I'nlon county. Mr. Parker cited the testimony of a number of witness es in his efforts to convince the court that the police shot unnecessarily and without sufficient provocation. He asked that the court hind the police men over so that a jury could pass on what was branded by defense attor neys as one of the most important rases ever to be tried in the country."

Washburn and Lois Wilson, Para-ntounl-Arlcraft pioliite, "Why Smith Left Home." which is to be shown at the Strand theatre Wednesday, offers husbands a novel procedure to follow if their wives become incensed at something and carry out a threat to "go home to mother." Mr. Wash burn, as Smith, is on a much Inter rupted honeymoon. Wrecks, fires, a pursuing Aunt, and finally an earth quake are leagued against him. A pretty serving maid inveigles him into taiher a compromising siiualioii, and his young bride, angered, starts to leave in an automobile with her Aunt. Smith quickly disguises himself as a footpad and, holding up the machine at the revolver point, kidnaps his wife. This Is the laughable climax to what Is declared to be a thoroughly enjoyable picture, crowded with novel situations and mirth. Lois Wilson Is again Mr. Washburn's leading wo man, and others in the cast are Waller Hiers. Maym Kelso, Margate- Lootuis. Winter Hall, and Carire Clark Ward. Donald Crisp was the director.

We can thank God tto- Father this season that, not un hsta.oling ail the toil am! moil of the afietiuaih ot the war, theie appear evidences of infalli ble pioots that He is on His throne, and lie, I on Hi- I flu hand .-its the Christ the Son in ail I he majesty of the divine glory ot the Second Person of the Godhead, and that in and throughout the blessed company of all faithful people is working the Holv Ghost, the Spirit id' the Three Persons in One God thai we call the Trinity in Cniiy. Are not the churches iu our country being inspired afresh to view the fields that are while to the harvest and to renewed eiforts to garner them? Are there not fewer and even fewer to say they "don't believe in foreign missions," and so to declare their un belief in the fulness of God who was to Jesus "My Father and vour Fath ir"? Yes. I believe we can thank God that we are in the stretch of a many leagued stride iu the bringing to earth of the Kingdom of Heaven. S. L. Rotter or St. Paul's Episcopal church. CHARLOTTF.
