Uncle TOM STILL PUBLIC
FAvORITf;; HERE TOMORROW
DULUTH PAPER PRAISES sTET-
SON coMPANY's PRODUCTION
OF FAMOUS PLAY.

Concerning the Stetson production
of "IJncle Toms Cabin" which viii
be presented at the Calumet theater
tomorrow. matinee and night, the Du-
luth News-Trbune says:
Two well pleased audiences witness
ed the dramatlzation of Harriet Beech
or stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" yes
terday at the Lyceum. The number
attending formed an additional evil.
dence that her work is immortal and
that the interest in the book and the
play taken from IL never will die. The
Stetson production has added several
new features but aside from these 1t
remains the same play that delighted
thousands since the days of the civil
war.
Ed Espy portrays the part of the
old plantation slave, Uncle Tom, in an
intelligent manner, avoiding the in
congruities of which so many negro
impersonators are guilty. Second in
interest to Uncle Tom is little Eva,
and this role is taken in a dainty and
appealing manner by diminutive Benz
edene stead. The transformation
scene is finely worked out
James Stenson has the eXactng and
thankless role of Simon Legree. which
he carries with a proper stimulation of
inhuman cruelty, .--.......
The two Topsies and the two Marks
with which the show is provided fur
nish the larger share of the humor
Of which there is considerable. The
Topsy "who jes growed" is Miss Ada
Bowles, who performs all the outland-
ish antics of the impishh daughter OF
Africa with amusing gusto. Miss Sa-
die Jackson is designated as Topsy No
9 and is clever partner for Miss
Eowles. William Gates and William
Small are the other duo of fun pro-
ducers in the roles of Lawyer Marks
and Marks, Jr.
The other parts i'm the play are wei
taken care of by the capable cast.

Conditions as to hours of labor for
clerks I'm post offices have become so
bad that the United National Associa-
ton of Post Office Clerks assembled in
convention this year decided by unani-
NOUS vote that their greatest and most
urgent need is the establishment of a
| legal eight-hour day. Post office clerks
occupy the unique position of being
practically the only class of govern
ment employees who are not protected
by any act of Congress limiting In any
way their hours.
Why Congress should hesitate to en-
act legislation that would put post
office clerks on a par with all other
government employees in this respect
is hard for the clerks to understand.
The principle of an elSht-hour day
for government employees Is well es-
tablished. In recent years IL has even
been extended to cover the employees
of private contractors who might be
employed on government contract
If there is reason for this policy
in so far as it has been extended, II
is argued, there is more reason for Its
further extension to cover the posi-
office clerks.
The post office department recog-
nizes the justice of the principle, foi
i'm it's annual reports il recommends tC
postmasters that eight-hour schedules
be arranged for clerks where it is pos
, sible to do so.
But the conditions that prevail. anC
: the failure of Congress to appropriate
sufficiently or intelligently for tn
employment of additional clerks, fore
es the conclusion that the question
will never be settled right until Con
gress enacts a law to put the post of

What We Are Trying
To Do

The desire of the Chalmers
Motor Company is to supply
genuine motor cars to sell at
medium prices--to build cars
which will give all the serv-
ice anyone could ask and sell
them at prices within the reach
of every prospective buyer.
1t has been the aim to build
cars that could go as far in a
day and get back as surely and
safely as any other cars no
matter what they cost-to build
cars that would be economical
and durable through a long
period of time.
These aims have been real
lied to their fullest extent in
the Chalmers Forty" at
S27so. There is not a car on
the market at any price that
enjoys a better reputation in
the motoring world than this
wonderful car.
We do not ask you to take
these statements on faith. All
we ask is the benefit of an inn
partial comparison with other
. cars. Call at our showrooms and
let us demonstrate to you all the
sterling qualities of the Chal-
mers Forty"

More Than a Mere Machine

There is fascination about automobile that
never wears of-a sort of ever-thrlling mystery.
While the modern motor car is machine, every
part of which is perfectly easy to understand, yet
every motorist will tell you his car is something
more than machine-a half-human thing
We grow attached to the thing that serves us
well-the horseman loves his horse, the engineer
loves his engine; the motorst loves his good car,
because it is always ready willing, anxious to do
his bidding.
There is something about the purr OF the motor
that suggests willingness, and there is something
about the chug, chug, it climbs hill that sug-
gests determination.
The automobile is mans toy well as his
servant toy that is worth mans time and at
tention The driving of calls forth the hnest
faculties has. 1t requires concentration lore
sight, judgment, courage, initiative and sometimes
endurance The man who drives his own car can
not possibly put price on the good it does him
in the development of these qualities.
The motor car is the most wonderful mechanical
thing that man has yet perfected-it is the JOY OF
all who one, the envy OF all who do not.
1t is the man who that does most all
talking about upkeep After he an autoo-
bile you hear another word-he is getting
than his moneys worth in service pleasure and health
We want people to buy motor cars We would
like sell Chalmers, of course but it, after nves-
tigaton you decide against u.s. we shall still say Buy
a car-it is good investment

THE BROWN RETIREMENT
PLAN

Herbert D Brown, the author Of the
plan for the retirement OF superan-
uuated Government clerks. deserves
not only the gratitude of the clerks
but also the thanks of this Admins
trstion for hitting on a scheme which
seems to solve the annuity problem IN
a manner satisfactory 10 the Govern
mcnts interests and not Cumbersome
to the employees
For years there has been effort, some
of It 1Tisdirected. TO find way Of car
ing for those who spend their lives IN
the service only to find themselves
without means or resources at a time
when they need outside support.
The Brown plan, which has been sc-
cepted by the Secretary of the Treas
ury. viii cost the Government at no
time more than 100000 a year. tt
will cost little more than $1,000, 900 to
put IT into operation At the end Of
thirty years. it viii cost the Treasury
not one cent Ard all this VIII be &C
complisbed by contributions on the part
OF the employees of such. small amounts
that they viii not be hardship upon
them
Not only are the details Of the plan
a scientific solution of the problem BY
Mr. Brown, but the real advantage Of
the whole proposition Is that 1t accom-
plishes all the virtues 0f a civil pension
list without entailing any OF its dis
advantages OF expense. A civil pension
list puts on the Government an enor-
nous burden, which constantly grows.
/ England's experience with It has per
suaded her that it Is becoming intoI-
/ cradle.
For the good OF the Government en-
/ pIoyes, for the efficiency OF the serv-
ice, and for the sake of governmental
economy, both houses of Congress viii
do well to take up the Brown plan
and push 1t into law as soon as the
President gives the word.
