"A Shattered Dream"

One of the finest and most pathetic
bits of acting yet shown in the photo
plays is that of "A Shattered Dream"
which will be presented at the L. &

by many pitiful economies for years,
has saved up enough to fulfill his life's
dream of a asreturn to his birthplace in
the old country. Just on the eve of
his sailing young parishioner comes
to him and confesses theft, exposure
of which would mean disgrace and
ruin. The priest uses his hard saved
travelling fund to restore the money
taken and gives up his life's dream to
save a SOUL, Other films at this thea
ter tonight will be How the Story

Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can

No Undue Privilege.
'T am in full sympathy with the
concern of reasonable and patriotic
men that the valuable resources of
Alaska should not be turned over TO
be exploited for the profit of greedy,
absorbing monopoliStic corDoratious
which have been made no one, as a
matter of fact, has secured in Alaska
any undue privilege or franchise not
completely under the control of con-
gress, and in all the scandal with
which the public has been regaled very
few specific instances of corrupt or
improper attempts to acquire vested
interests in Alaska have been shown
by evidence that would stand the test
of judicial examination. Notwithstand-
ing this, however. am in full agree
ment with the view that every care
both in administration and in legisla-
tion, must be observed to prevent cor
ruDt or unfair acquisition of undue
privilege, franchise or right from the
government in that district. But ev-
cry one must know that the resources
of Alaska can never become available
either to the people of Alaska or to
the public of the United States unless
reasonable opportunity is granted to
those who would invest their money
to secure return proportsonate to the
risk run in the investment and reason
able under all the circumstances
"On the other hand, the acrimony of
spirit and the intense malice that have
been engendered in respect of the ad-
ministration of the government in
Alaska and the cons:d deration of
measures proposed for her relief and
the wanton recklesSn ess and eagerness
with which attempts have been made
to besmirch the character ers of high Of
f1cials having to do with the Alaskan
government, and even of persons not
in public life, present a condition that
calls for condemnation and REQUIRES
that the public be warned of the de-
moralization that has been produced
by the hystericaI suspicious of good
people and the unscrupu!cus and cor
rupt Misrepresentation OF the wicked
The helpless state to which the credul-
ity of some and the maievolent scan
the people of Alaska in their strug-
gle for it's development ought to give
the public pause, for until a juster and
fairer view be taken investment in
Alaska, which is necessary to its de-
velopment, will be impossible and
honest administrators and legislators
will be deferred from the advocacy
and putting into operation of those
policies in regard to the territory
which are necessary to its progress and
prosperity

Up to May 1st abut 100000

one month, mind you-a total
of 100000 more was expended,
IN ORDER TO CLINCH THE
GENERAL PUBLICITY and
the previous newspaper adver-

At first glance, 100000
expenditure for advertising in
seven months seems enormous
but what was the result?
THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND

sold at a price OF upward of
$3.50 per set. THAT MENAS
A BUSINESS OF $5,1OO,OOO.
So the newspaper and maga-.

When it is taken into consid-
Grafton that this is the ELEV-
ENTH EDITION of the Ency-

the Cambridge University of
England, it makes the result all
the more remarkable.
One would think that ten edi-
