GOOD CITIZEN.

Out of the Jungle comes the pronunciamento of Editor
Roosevelt the qualifications of both the desirable and
undesirable citizen
Mr.. Roosevelt has told the thing before-often
He plays number of instruments but all of them but
one tune Whether he sends out the buge blast of White
House message or tootles on the penny whistle of
absentee editor Mr. Roosevelt tune always has the motif
OF decency and good citizenship.
SO in this last uerance assured that citizens
not to be condemned because they rich because of
their prominence, or because of their poverty.
The good citizen is man of good conduct.
The bad citizen is man of bad conduct.
That is all there is to it.
So saith our beloved Teddy.
Selah!
But let's look into this matter of good and bad little
and an old story will open of our eyes.
TO the tent of Bedouin crept traveller hungry Naked
and bereft OF both camels and horses.
The Bedoun took him in, received from his hands a
packet of gold and jewels for safe keeping clothed fed
and cared for him for many days. and when caravan
by from which the stranger bought cames horses
and weapons the Bedoun restored to his guest his
ures, went with him half days Journey and dismissed
hm earnestly and piousy, calling down his head the
blessings of God
And having thus discharged the duties of hospitality the
Bedouin followed his erstwhie guest and robbed him of
everything he possessed!
According to Bedoun standards, this Bedoun was a
good man. His conduct good conduct The was
longer his guest He was armed and bound to look out
for himself BY desert ethics he might take who had the
power from the traveller supposed to be caring for himself
All of us are full of Bedoun principles and of US
more SO than Roosevelt-good man that hehs Because
he is good man. his Bedouinsm is so much more in
strucve It admonshes of the probability that all
are tainted III he u.s.
What good conducts To advertise goods beyond their
true mertsf To make fortunes by making employees pro-
duce vastly more than they paid in wages? To make
the people pay dividends watered stocks? To grow rich
on the unearned increment of value in lands? To lobby
through congress schedules which make the people pay
more than they should for the things they consumer To
remain rich while any suffer from undeserved poverty?
Roosevelt good man that he u.s. would boggle at these
questions
Right and wrong ideals are matters of development
And SO many of us are still Bedouinsi

in Albany 20 minutes before Ber-
nard Johnson, known among the
worknlen in his hazardous trade as
Whitley, fell from the top of the
high iron beam on which he is
shown and was killed instantly.
- Whitley" met his fate as his fel
low workers predicted. AS struc-
tural iron worker he had shown
many times that he didn't know
the meaning of fear. His services
always were in demand, for the
big contractors knew that when
ever they had a neck risking job
Whitley" would be willing to take
the chance with the fate that al
ways stared at him.
This picture was taken where
Whitley" was helping build the
S3.500,000 educational building.
Just after he had posed for the
picture spectators saw him topple,
fall, strike a lower beam and then
hit the earth, dead. The tragedy
so unnerved the construction crew
that they quit work for the day.

BREED THEATER.
"a convict's Sacrifice" Thrilling Mo
tion Picture.

Among the many improvements now
taking place at the Breed theater, one
of the least conspicuous and at the
same time one of the greatest, is the
adoption of the new nom infammable
film for the motion pictures. This film
IS a wonder in its way, and some
idea of its great merit may be obtained
from the fact that lighted match may
be held under a strip of it, and it
IS almost impossible to burn it. The
demonstration of this fact makes it
possible for the many patrons to at
tend this theater with perfect safety,
especially is it true of the children
many of whom come unaccompanied.
As a feature picture of the week.
Manager McNulty has secured the ire
mendous 'biograph hit, entitled "The
Convict's Sacrifice" this being one Of
the latest in its line. and carrying one
of the greatest sensational stories util-
ized in the silent drama world. A
powerful lot of genuine manhood Is
displayed in this picture. and show
ing that the accused man is more of
a man than criminal and the wonder
full sacrifice revealed in the great
climax is truly soul-inspiring.

Is highly entertaining and has made a
pronounced hit at summer theaters

Camille La Jess, the European novel;

on the trapeze, while Theodore is also
a contortionist and ties himself into
all sorts of knots some of these tricks
being executed as he hangs from the
trapeze or clings with fingers or toes

should make a well balanced and sat

Rustic theater performances, some
thing like an hour and twenty min

large and handsome sky streakers,
