Some think it would be better to en- large it on the north side; others were very sure that the land Is better on the east side Still others think the slope is better on the south side. and many inclined to the west side. Many have no preferences and are confused by the arguments of those who have posi- tive opinions.
 Now while the people hold these va rying opinions honestly, each party thinks the other prejudiced or biased by self-interest. The people are hon. est, but they are also human, and hay ing ,espoused any side of a. cause they are anxious their side should win, or at the least they do not want thelr opponents to succeed
 Unfortunately there is no way to tell which side has the most advocates, because they can vote on but one side at time. Unless one side has a clear majority over all other sides, nothing can be done, and the people are like ly to have to live on two meals day, when they want three. If they could vote on all sides the same day and a plurality would elect, the matter would have been decided long ago.
 They voted on the north side a little while ago voting it out. This week Fri day they are to vote on the west side. If they turn that down, they will prob ably at later meetings turn all the oth- CTS down in turn, and the people will have another chance to go hungry.
 It seems strange to the people on other islands that, when the land is fairly good on all sides, the people of sMohegan had rather stay on short ra- tions than to compromise on either side.
 It is to be hoped that they will vote yes on Friday, close the controversy clear the land, and raise potatoes enough so that none shall go hungry even if the other sides may be trific better Otherwise, like the animal in the fable they may starve between two haystacks, because they cannot decide which is the best.

Scene From KIen's Great Play, The Gamblers at the
Colonial Theatre, Saturday Matinee and Night
THE GAMBLERS"
AT The Colonial Theatre Saturday Mat
inee And Night

1.-THE Gamblers" Charles Klein's
gripping play, which holds the record
for long runs among serious dramas
of the season just passed, comes to
the Colonial Theatre Saturday, Sep
TENDER rs, matinee and night, under
the direction of The Authors Pro-
ducing Company, of which John Cort
is president.
The story of the play involves a
debonnaire young freebooter who has
come into the management of his
staid old fathers bank, and who, in
his effort to expand the business, re-
sorts to various questionable prac-
tees. There is woman in the case,
the wife of the prosecuting attorney
of the Federal Government, who was
once the sweetheart of the young
broker, and whose husband is given
to posing as an infallible moralist,
and he allows his unjust jealousy to
override his sense Of legal justice.
Mr.. Klein illustrates the axiom
that there is no gain without risk.
He shows that men and women cannot
make tremendous gains without MAX
ing tremendous losses, and that sue
cess in fame and fortune does not
always mean real success in life.
