Mrs. D. Davis it visiting her daugh-

Governor
Newcastle.
Democratic
nominee, when waited on by members
of the national women’s party, said
that he would do all in his power to
bring about ratification of the federal
suffrage amendment by Tennessee,
and asked them not to preach the gos-
pel that he should receive the votes
of women because he helped to give
, them suffrage, in the event that he
succeeded. That sounds like a man—
one big and broad enough to fill with
dignity and ability the chief execu-
tive chair.

,4n referring to the Rev. (7) who
' Ij led the convention of the forty-
•v^rtfltors, the editor of the Temple
Daily Telegram rebukes him to our
entire satisfaction. He says in part,
“Were he capable of receiving reproof
it might be well if God should speak
to him as He did to Moses in the
presence of the Burning bush, and tell
'im to take off his shoes for lie is
reading upon Sacred ground.” We
believe however/a most appropriate
rebuke would have been the instru-
' mentality used by Jehovah in his re-
buke to Balaam.

audacious “Dark-
Scene ” Test.

Read below what the New
York newspapers said of the
test. Remember—-the mar-
velous instrument used in
New York City was an exact
duplicate of the original Offi-
cial Laboratory Model, which
• 0
cost Mr. Edison three million dollars in research work
We, too, have an exact duplicate of the famous three million
dollar original. We guarantee that it is capable of sustaining
all the astonishing tests made on March loth, at Carnegie
Hall, New York City.
Come in and hear this guaranteed Official Laboratory Model.
Experience its marveloua realism for yourself We give Mr.'
Edison's unique Realism Test
2&NEW EDISON
“A portion of the demonstration
was even carried on without the
lights, so that no one could see
whether Miss Case’s lips moved or
not. It was all genuinely instruc-
tive, and the twin-ship between
Miss Case's singing, and ihe repro
duction thereof proved so close as
to be often, indisringuishible. ’' -
r York Globe. ~ )
“When you sec and hear Miss Case
•ing, you can scarcely belieVe that
an art so essentially individual and
personal as hers could ever be repro-
duced mechanically, yet the New
Edison has succeeded to the point
where the voice in the fluffy pink
draperies and the voice in the ma-
hogany box seemed one and the
same.” New York Evening Mail.
“ When the lights were lowered,
it was impossible to tell when it was
Anna Case, and when it was only
her voice that was singing." New
York Evening Sun
I he “dark scene” test was positive-
ly sensational in its proof of the
realism of the New Edison.
Q
Anna Case, the world famed so-
prano, stood beside a dignified
Chippendale cabinet. She started
to sing. Her voice enthralled the
audience with its colorful brilliance.
Suddenly the lights went out.,
Densest black swallowed stage, -
phonograph and singer,
the. iiUUr gt fyriMtr—tkt
“The Phonograph
with a Sotfl"
But Miss Case's voice went smooth-
ly on. It rose to the very height*
of its superb artistry.
Then, the lights flashed on!
I he audience gasped with astonish- -
ment. Case was gone' Her
voice had been coming from tha
New Edison.
Undercover of the darkness, Mias -
Case had stolen from the.platforna,
leaving the New Edison to con-
tinue her song alone. The audi-
ence never knew she had gone, dfi
the lights went up.
I he exact duplicate of this instru-
ment is here in our store,—waiting
to prove its perfect realism to yam.
