MORE CANDIDATES
in THE FIELD
Three Out for the Office of
Treasurer
One Out for Assessor and
One for the Office of
Mayor.

With. election still over five weeks
away the political pot is beginning to
simmer in good shape and a number
of candidates have already entered
the field for the numerous city
offices.
E.. Bryan is the first candidate in
the field to announce his candidacy
for the office of mayor. He says that
he has decided to make the race.
Frank Grey is also mentioned for the
place. The many friends of Olof M,
Olson are endeavoring to get him to
enter the field for the Office of mayor.
MIR. Olson made an excellent record
during the eight years he served as
alderman from the end ward and his
many friends believe that he is the
man to head the city government
during the coming year. Should he
decide to enter the field he would
have the support of large number
of the business men and taxpayers.
For the Office of City Treasurer
three candidates are in the field, be-
ing Nels Lee, the present incumbent,
Nels Westerlund and James A.
Sheridan. F. w. Downs is also
mentioned for the place. This
promises to be lively race. Matt
Robinson is candidate for reelection
to the Office OF assessor.
In the ward Offices there will be
number of candidates and it behooves
the taxpayers to pick men who are
qualified for these Offices. In the
past too little attention has been
paid to the selection of aldermen and
supervisors with the result that some
poor men have been elected to Office.
Voters and taxpayers should give
this matter serious thought and select
men who are qualified.

PARSIFAL

The Ambrosio Company of
Turin, the world-famed feature
producers, have excelled them
selves in this grand production
of "Parsifal," which has been
immortalized by the music of
Richard Wagner, and is known
throughout the world as an oper-
attic masterpiece.
The opening of the film shows
the passing of the procession of
the Knights of Monsalvata, who
go to venerate the st. Graal, the
cup in which is kept the Holy
Blood of Christ. They arrive at
the Temple, where the Bishop
appoints Amfortas guardian of
st. Graal, saying to him: '"This
cup will make you invincible if
you keep pure"
Suddenly the magicians, King
soor, accompanied by Kondrie,
appear and conspire to make
Amfortas sin. The next scene
shows the trick of the magicians
and how successful they were in
causing Amfrotas to sin, which.
makes him worthy of the
office as guardian of the st.
Graal. Amfrotas is punished
by a mysterious illness. and his
suffering causes him to confess
to the bishop. They both kneel,
praying to God to appoint a
worthy successor, and they are
rewarded by seeing a vision of
Parsifal.
At that moment Parsifal is
awakened by an angel and feels
that he has been appointed to a
great mission, and, making way
to his home tells his mother of
his vision.

mingled together in this wildly col
Ced romance OF the desert. The su-
thors, we are informed, paid three

Wi,amsons do not draw upon the leg

RICHARD FURLONG's CAREER.

ACHIEVEMENT By Y. Temple Thurston.
l2mo. PIP. 45l u. Appleton a Co.
In achievement" Mr.. Thurston car
ries to its conclusion the career Of the
great artist whose beginnings he told
in Richard Furlong." The completed
story propounds the theory that the
artistic creative power OF man depends
upon woman's influence to become pro-
ductivc. even as her creative power re-
mains barren without the love Of man.
The analogy may be carried further IN
the reflection that, even as woman be-
comes independent of her mate the
moment motherhood is attained, so the
artist ceases to need her influence the
moment il has quickened his gift and
caused it 10 bear fruit. The child of
his brain takes precedence, for the
time being, over it's spiritual mother.
He may return to her for renewed in
spiration: he may ind it elsewhere
without deliberate intention to wander
from his allegiance.
1t is an interesting theory, which hts
remarkably well with what we know OF
the artistic temperament and some
others as vol. II is not allowed TO
overweight the story, however; rather
is IL made the sub-cOnsclous influence
which, one thinks, it mostly is in tho
life of the artist. Suffi,e it to say that
Mr.. Thurston here takes up the career
of Richard Furlong from the moment
of the death of that magnificently
drawn woman, the cockney Constance
Baldwin. to that of his own destruc-
ton. He meets many women, ms
genius draws upon them all for sus-
tenance and inspiration, for comrade-
ship and sympathy, but not always Is
he aware Of what he owes them. None
of them rises to the heights where
stood Constance; his second great pas
sion leads to his undoing in the end.
Readers of Richard Furlong" will
want to read this sequel as a matter Of
course. The two stories, read in sue
cessior. will repay whoever takes them
IN. This is good, serious fiction, OBJ
servant Of life, based upon an inter-
esting idea
