Fifteen cents or even ei9h cen

MAKESTHE MOVIES TALK
The Wizard Has Perfected a Machine
Whereby the Motion Picture Talks.

Thomas A. Edison sat back in

of the stage" things be-an TO

First the big man thrust out one
arm in customary attitude, and
then and even the specta 'ors who
had known what was to come, were
SurpriSed-he began to talk.
Ladies and gentlemen, he be

talking moving pictures, real

The speech was delivered in care
fully modulated tones with articu
lati of the clea est. each action
coinciding exactly with each ex-
preston. 1t was SD life-like and
aatnral that gasps of surprise and
wonderment could be heard from
different parts OF the darhened
| room.
In the course of his talk the speak
ing picture took up plate and
dashed it to the floor. 1t fl W into
pieces with crash and each frag-

They went away-yOu could hear
their footsteps as they walked up
the stairs another man ap-
peared with two collie dogs, whose
loud barks were a. natural as life.
1t was hard to realize that those
were not living beings in flesh and

The Traffic.

Rachael Marshall's four act play,
THE Traffic" which is booked for the
Colonial Saturday night, November
%, is said to be the most audaciously
truthful exposition of white slavery
that has yet been written. Miss Mar
shall is the great granddaughter Of
Chief Justice Marshall. and woman
of wide experience as journalist, So
biologist and traveller She has made
study of the conditions which she
exploits, and the white slave episode
which the records is taken from an
actual case found in the Federal re-
ports, investigated last spring, under
the Mann White Slave Act. The
amazing verify of. the situations,
scenes and dialogues is said to make
the play a distinct shock even to the
most sophisticated playgoer, although
it is reported that it is never often
sive, neither to the moral OF mental
sensibilities. The shame Of the white
slave situation is shown with its taw.
dry, garish brilliance in contrast with
the squalor and pitifnl poverty Of the
tepements.

CALLS TARIFF BILL
INSULT TO FARMER
Senator McCumber AssaiIs It
as Greatest Crime Against
Any Class Of People.

Denunciation Of the Democratic tarfn
bill as "a greater crime against the
American farmer than has ever been
perpetrated against any class Of people
during any period OF recorded history -
Senator McCumber of North Dakota to-
day delivered the first of the long list
OF Republican speeches to be made
against that measure in the upper
use, For nearly three hours he up
ided the majority for their treat
t Of the agricultural schedule, as
serting that the party had 'insulted the
farmers sense Of fairness. slapped him
in the face. and kicked him into the
gutter
The speaker argued that the proposed
reductions in duties, designed to cut the
cost of living for the mechanic and the
common laborer in the cities, were all
made at the expense of the farming
population, and that the reason that the
organized wage carriers were granted
favors by Congress was the fact that
their organizations kept watch on the
votes cast by the members in Con-
sress- The farmer, he said, was not
organized, and hence not to be feared.
Your bricklayer receives from 60 to
so cents an hour he asserted. Your
farmer does not earn that much on the
average for a whole day
