SMASHING THE VICE TRUST.s
The Wigwam Will show today and
tomorrow Smashing the Vice Trust"
the strongest white slave picture on
Z the market There are six reels in
the production and a pretty little TO
nance runs through the picture The
incidents relative to the white slavery
were taken from the personal observa-
lions OF district attorney Whitman
during the time he was engaged in
running down and convicting the hu
man vultures who prey upon women
He found that there were 10 principal
ways in which they secured victims and
these are clearly shown as a warning
to mothers, fathers and unprotected
girls. The picture is meant TO teach a
lesson and nothing could be considered
shown. The seamy sides and the IN
happy lives Of the victims are plainly
depicted This was what Mr.. Whitman
sought and he himself appears in a
number Of scenes and shows how the
raids were actually ordered and how
they were carried out The film was
passed by the National Board Of Cen
sors and was approved by the leading
vice crusaders OF this country.
Ada Patterson said OF It:
THE only fault I could find with Il

ing picture drama, Smashing the Vice
was that its title is not half strong
enough It should be called This Is
What Might Happen to You or Your
Daughter and beside II there should be
a pointing finger that would follow
every woman in New York as the bullet
hole seems to follow every one who
sees the picture we all know OF a

The Statement Holds True.

Brother Barth criticizes the state
ment in the Plain Dealer of last week
that "Howard County shows no re-
. .blican gains and says that Dunn,
democrat. carried. the county in 1912
BY 40 votes. True, he did. but at the
same time Stevens, progressive, re-
ceived 246 votes for governor. This
year the progressive candidate for
governor received but 16 votes and
thus Hamilton was opposed by a re-
united party. Hamilton received but
A votes less than did Dunn in 1912.
Clark's plurality was solely the result
of an united party. Democrats have
always recognized that the republican
split of 1912 was but temporary and
use totals of the votes of both repub-
licans and p,ogressives in comparison
with the democratic vote.

Joseph Reckner Found Dead

Joseph Reckner was found dead at
his home near Acme last Saturday. He
had been drinking heavily and his fam
lily had left him for week. Saturday
his son-in. law, A. J. Dilly, went up to
the house and found him lying on the
floor dead, near the pantry door. His
body was burned in places, shattered
lamp was found on the floor and hole
burned in the floor.
The coroner was called and after an
examination he pronounced the cause
of death as broken blood vessel in
the brain. Mr.. Reckner evidently had
started to 60 into the pantry carrying
a lamp and the burns were received af-
ter death. Indications were that he
died on the day previous to the time
found. The funeral was held at the
Lutheran church south of town on
Monday. He was one of the old set
