ADJUSTMENTS.

OF all the players who have found
g nrm place for themselves in the
hearts OF the theatre-goers OF the
country, none has made that place
more permanent than has William

big revival OF .''she stoops to Con-

with him. In the course of his forty
years or so upon, the stage, Mr.. Crane

IN an infinite variety of Cities, and
yet in the whole course of his :,exper-
fence it is doubtful if he has ever

MI. Crane has not played this part,

and a loaded gun on the back. I could

THANKSGIVING DAY FIRE
ALARM STARTLES HEIG]

The ringing of the fire bell at 1880
Thursday evening just as every one
was peacefully lounging about their
pleasant f1reside enjoying the effect
of their Thanksgiving dinner, rather
startled the good people of Duluth
Heights. Some one noticed a blaze
in the home of John Olson on Lemon
streA and the alarm was Immediate
ly sent in. About fifteen men and
boys ran to the fire hall, and every
one else went direct to the fire.
The boys took out the hook and
ladder cart, and just five men were
left to pull the heavy hose cart
through two feet of snow. The first
apparatus was pulled to the corner
of Hugo and Palmetto streets where
the boys were obliged to abandon
their task, and carry the ladders on
their shoulders to the scene of the
fire. The hose cart was banked in the
snow within 100 yards Of the fire
hall. Shortly news came that the
fire was but chimney dlaze and
the carts were returned to the hall.
Two lessons were learned by this
experience, and they are as follows:
Some sort of runners must be had
for the hose cart, and citizens should
run to the fire hall and help get out
the apparatus before going to the
fire.

NO UNBELlEE,

Whoever sees, meath winters field

Content to lock each sense in slum-

Knows God will keep.

He dares disoWn,
The heart that looks on when the

The heart lives by the faith the Inns

THE LID.

The excitement incident to the
Lid" agitation having in great
measure subsidized, we can now dis
pasionately reason together. There
is some merit in the arguments adj
vanced by each side. BY this we
mean that neither side is wholly
wrong, nor is either side wholly
right. We have to deal with con-
ditions as they confront us. Those
who believe that the use in any
manner of liquids possessing in
toxicating possibilities, is a moral
wrong, can be satisfied with moth
ing short of absolute prohibition.
But, the law, under which we are
now working is the capitalization
of the sentiment OF the large ma
jority who distinguish between
temperance and total abstinence. If
the word TEMPERANCE means
anything, it means USE but don't
ABUSE. That the danger of abuse
is very great, is evidenced by the
safeguards and precautions which
the legislature has attached to the
business of dealing in Intoxicating
liquors, and 1t Is clearly the boun-
den duty of officers entrusted with
the enforcement Of the law to re-
spect and observe these safeguards
and precautions. Now with what
spirit shall they be actuated in
doing this? Whose sentiments shall
they imbibe and endeavor to fol-
low? Will it be those of the pro-
hibitionist who would sacrifice ev-
cry other interest under heaven If
only his pet hobby could be ad-
vanced; or, will they follow the
lead of steady, conservative, law
abiding men, whose opinions and
determination on the liquor Dues
ton find expression, in the enact
ments now on our statute books?
Clearly, it is their duty to fol-
low the latter. The vindictiveness
of the prohibitionist aud the law
lessness of the wide-open-policy
man ARE equally reprehensible to
the genius of the law, and an ex-
ecutive giving healthy admins
tration Of public affairs, will give
both extremes wide birth.

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP !:
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS

The Duluth Heights Fire company
held it's regular monthly meeting last
Tuesday evening with Captain John
Robertson in the chair. It was an
earnest and enthusiastic session, and
much business of Importance was
done. Discussion as to the proper
care of the fire hall took up most Of
the time. 1t was. finally voted that
the winter be made for the rent of
the fire hall in excess of the deposit
of $500 now required. Tn addition
al charge Is to be made for fuel
Many members Of the company dis
liked this new procedure, but fuller
elaboration has shown that the
course is a. wise one. Lem Tomlin
was appointed janitor of the up
stairs portion of the fire hall.

the Pilgrim community knew no
bounds land the first American
holiday was born just 2S2 years
ago. This nation has passed through
many vicissitudes since then, but
good old Thanksgiving day has
survived, and is as real and sig
nificant to the people of today, ar
it was to the poor pilgrims OF
1923. If other years have furn-
ished grounds for gratitude, the
year 1906, gives them to the Amer
lean people by way of prominence.
But in the light of such blessings,
when we come to consider our re-
sponsibilities, therefore, we are al
most appalled, at our own un-
worthiness. Truly - faithfulness,
duty, and devotion to the Supreme
Giver, should inspire our every
thought, and actuate our every &C.
ton, lest our prosperity be our un-
doing. AS is we'll said by our no.

sion mark the commencement of

She paints her autumn sunset clouds
With smiling eyes and generous hands
Pours out her wine and oil.
She paints her autumn sunse clouds
With tlnts Of gold and rose:
And lends the year her brightest flow.

On busy mart and harvest-f1eld
There rests a Sabbath calm,

With grateful memories of the past
And hope for future days!

playing what he wishes. Now, how
ever, I am back in the part and with
a very charming cO-partner for the
time being, and am enjoying the ex-
perience thoroughly. Its a curious
| curious thing how tenacious the
memory is. Its been nearly twenty

The tour of the charming little
comic opera star, Lillian Spencer, in
the tuneful success, Dolly Warden,
the famous Lulu closer production,
has been one of the most suspicious
ventures of the theatreatical year.
| Her success dates back to her baby
hood, when she appeared at the age
of three years with "Fritz' Emmett.
From the first night she popped I'M
expectedly out of a dress suit case,
her face wreathed in happy mis-
chievous smile, her career was as
sured. For a number Of years, she
played children's parts, and at the
same time, became noted as an ar
lists model. Her piquant style Of
childish beauty made her much
sought after for idealistic paintings,
and her likeness was used by many
famous artists. When she had out
grown the immature roles allotted to
children, she went into musical COM
! edy, and in the last few years, her
rise has been rapid in that field. Her
clever acting and charming voice
were quickly noted by Milton and
as a star, and purchased for her ex-
ploitation, the magnificent produc-
ton of dolly Warden" probably the
greatest musical success in the past
ten years. This opera was selected
for the reason that its central role
is one that offers unlimited oppor-
tunity for the display Of Miss Spen-
GERS irresistible vein of comedy, and
natural, ingenious personality. There
has been no prima donna role writ

much comedy, wit and hunaor as the
title part of Dolly Warden" and that
Miss Spencer, as a coincidence Of the
first rank, is equal to the part, is
vouched for by the extracts that have
come to hand from the newspaper
critics wherever this attraction has
appeared. The other characters in
the opera are equally well-drawn, in

DR.. RICE's ADDRESS.

DR.. Rice, pastor of the Methodist
chnrch Of this city, addressed the
Common Council on Monday even
ing in the interest of the MERRITT
Lid Crusade. The Doctor Is
strong, persuasive speaker, ana
throws his whole heart and soul
into every measure which he advo-
Gates. He is so earnest ana elo-
ouent that it seems almost ap-
preaching the sacrilegious to differ
from him. If we were q Prohib1-
zionist and viewing the question
from that standpoint, we could
heartily endorse DR.. Rlce's state
ments; but as we cannot accept his
premises we must reject his con-
clusion. Our present liquor law
was not formulated by Prohibition
lists nor is it Prohibition meas
ure, and it must be enforced In the
spirit of those who enacted it and
not in the spirit OF those to whom
the law is obnoxious. This point
it seems, has eluded DR.. Rice. In
other words he was addressing him.
self to a question that was not at
issue, and cannot be so long as the
present law stands. DR.. Rice's threat
against ourself for not becoming
an instantaneous prohibitionist by
the force of his eloquence, we &C
cept as a compliment to the cor
rectness of our position. One thing
is strange to a degree that is moth
ing short Of the marvellous. 1t is
this, the presumption and AFRO
gance of those lid >agitators. Evil
IDENTIFY they delude themselves with
the idea that they are the only
law abiding citizens in Duluth.
Gentlemen, Duluth and its citizens
will live and be law abiding when
you shall be numbered with the
good people that were. Don't mag
nifty your own Importance too
much. Duluth can get along with
out you and some of you it could
spare without any alarming symp-
toms. You are not nearly as big
or as important or as influential
as your egotism would make be-

THANKSGIVING.

Our honored President has set
apart the goth day of this month,
as day of Thanksgiving, and our
own beloved Governor, has set
apart the same day, that all of our
people, may acknowledge in graft
tude and love, the manifold bles-
sings which we have enjoyed, dur
Ing the past year; and also, that
our hearts may hold sweet COM
munion with the Giver of all good,
who has filled our storehouses to
Overlooking, bringing prosperity,
comfort, and happiness to cottage,
and hamlet, and mansion. Never
since our nation had a being, has
there been greater cause for re-
joicing than during the present
year. AS a people we are at peace
with the whole world, and enjoying
perfect harmony within our own
borders. We are prosperous be-
yond anything the World has ever
dreamed Of, the favored people of
the earth. Probably, no city in the
United States, has greater cause for
genuine Thanksgiving, than has
our own invincible Duluth. We
are free from calamity or disaster
of any kind. Evidences of health
and prosperity on every. hand
abound. A city of schools, church.
es, material improvements, and
good government. What a contrast
between today and 2S2 years ago,
when the custom of observing the
day was first innugurated. The
Pilgrim Fathers found the sum-
mer and fall of 1923 inauspicious
enough. The means of subsistence
were scarce, the harvests anything
but abundantly ana the sturdy old
pioneers looked forward to a win
ter Of possible starvation and
death. In the hour of their great
est extremity, they determined to
lay their sorrows before the King
OF Kings. The last Thursday Of
November was appointed as a day
OF fasting, humiliation and prayer.
The people assembled, but scarcely
had the services commenced, before
q huge ship, with weather beaten
sails, and blackened sides, was
sighted entering the harbor. She
was laden with food for the win
ter, and seed for the spring. Strong
minded men wept like little child
