AMUSE MENTS.
COLONIAL THEATRE.
sour Mutual eirI,',s Keystone, Maude
Feaiy.

Fealy.
Has there ever been such a program
in this or any other city as is offered
today and Saturday at the Colonial?
Take a look at the following list of
pictures and we guarantee your an
swer will be a loud NO. At the head
of the bill is "Our Mutual Girl" who
needs no introduction wherever she
goes, being the most talked of girl
in the United States. This week
shows her to advantage in many new
gowns-she runs away from her rich
aunt and goes sightseeing with her
country boy. They visit many places
of interest among which is the Wool
worth Office building in which 10000
men and women work each day. The
entire inhabitants of our genial sub
urh city to the south of us could live
in this one building and then some.
This week "Our Mutual Girl" is more
interesting than ever. 1.-The Golden
Cross" is a very pretty story told in
two parts with the popular Maude
Fealy in the leading role. Miss Fea-
ly has played in Augusta in 1.-The Wo-
man Pays" The Runaway Princess"
and several other excellent produc-
lions. Next comes a. Keystone Com
edy of the first degree entitled Love
and Gasoline it is certainly a win
ner and for people who enjoy good
clean comedy, this picture offers the
best we have seen. Several other
reels will be shown on this program,
which we consider to be one of the
best ever shown at the Colonial.
On next Tuesday evening a Grand
Opera Night will be given. A four
teen piece orchestra will render an ex-
cellent musical program in connection
with the pictures.-Advt.

What Penroseism Means.

Next Tuesday the Republicans of Pennsylvania
will have chance to show whether or not they
are in sympathy with the forward movement IN
the Republican party. They can do so by defeating
for denomination Senator Boies Penrose, who
stands for all the defects and vices of the old order
In politics and who makes bones about acknowl-
edging that he stands for them. "Penrose Stands
Pat on Penroseism," said headline the other day
In 1.-THE Philadelphia Public Ledger" and what
Penroseism means 1.-The Ledger" also described in
these fitting words:
Fenroseism means the Endorsement OF a method
OF party government which Is synonymous with all
that is degrading and demoralizing in American
politics. the debeuchng Of elections. the fragrant
employment of crime to defeat the will Of the voters
at the polls the OF public Office for purposes of
corruption, the debasng OF the Legislature for the
purposes of graft and special privilege. and the
domination of the people by political machine
which owes its strength and power TO a corrupt al-
with venal leaders Of the minority party. Pen
roseism does not mean and offers not the slightest
hope of publication of conditions which al
most wholly responsible for the humating over
throw of the Republicans in 1912 and for the nation
wide revulson from a leadership trained in the
same school and using the same methods Penrose.
1t is to be regretted that more Of the Philadelphia
newspapers have not felt free 20 speak the truth
as plainly as The Ledger" does. Many interests
which Penrose has served are seeking to continue
his tenure in Washington, and they care little or
nothing about the effect o. his reelection on the
fortunes of the Republican party. Yet the voters
know well enough why those interests are sup
porting him Are they going TO renomlnate Pen
rose in order TO please few of his big clients In
Pennsylvania are they going to defeat him for
the credit of the state and the regeneration of the
Republican party?
