 Raymond Hitchcock makes his bow before the film public in a Triangle picture. With Mr, Hitchcock is Mack sennett and Mabel Normand, long fla vorites with the Keystone company and popular in Birmingham. My Valet" is a four-act farce in which the master exchanges place with the servant and the usual farcical turns that then en sue are made funnier by the artistic touch of Sennett, who is the ac- knowledged farceur of the movies.
 ''The Iron Strain"
 Dustin Farnum, the handsome actor who achieved q great success in The Virginian" and other stage plays, is one of the interesting stellar attrac- tions in the fine Triangle programme at the Strand. MT. Farnum will be pre- scented in the Alaskan cave man drama in five parts, entitled "The Iron Strain" Miss Enid Markey, a popular leading woman of the Ince studio, is associated with Mr. Farnum in this play. The unusually high quality of Triangle personnel is also to be noted in the other members of the cast, which includes Charles IA. ffeHcn, Loulsc Glaum and Truly Shattuck
 "The Iron Strain has been described as q sort of cross between "The Tam ing of the Shrew' and ''The Great Di vide" The circumstance of its com parison with such classics indicates its high excellence. Here is the story;

 For Friday and Saturday Manager Leftwich offers Marguerite Clark in ''Stil. Waters"
 "Still Waters is a story of circus and canal boat life, written especially for the little Famous Players star by Edith Barnard Delano, the well-known novelist. who recently wrote Rags for Mary Pick ford, in which she scored a triumph. As Nesta in ''Still Waters" Miss Clark has been called upon to do the most
 dramatic work of her motion picture ca lcer. Beginning as a quaint comedy. with very delightful little romance, the story gradually develops into & thrilling
 drama which reaches a big climax in the rescue of Nesta from burly ringmaster. who has trapped her in a deserted canal
 boat cabin, whither she has fled to es- cape his importunate attentions.
 In order to obtain the proper atmos-
 phere for the production, Miss Clark and
 a company of players. under the direc- ton of J. Searle Dawley. were sent to
 Easton Pa, for several weeks. The
 beautiful Pocano Hills, the Delaware
 river and the famous Water Gap were
 used as the background for the action which gives Miss Clark the best oppor- tunity which she has had to display her versatility as comedienne and as a dramatic actress.

 ''The Lamb''
 Spectators who saw ''The Lamb" in the new Triangle programme in New York exclaimed, Why, that must be Grif- filth play!n The exclamation was caused by the thrilling quality of the Mexican attle scenes in this offering and by the similarity of those scenes to some of tho great civil war moments in "The Birth of a Nation'' As a matter of fact. tho creator of "The Birth of a Nation" did not direct this play, but he supervised the rehearsal of the scenes and inspired w.

ELIHU Roof has put the national
passion for law-making to the acid test.
He has actually taken pains to deter
mine the exact scope of this unholy &C
tivity. His finding is that during the
five years prior to 1914, upward OF
81, 900 new statutes were enacted by
state legislatures and the national con-
gress, and As, 600 decisions rendered by
courts of last resort. The most con-
firmed bill-producer must admit that
this is something fierce, nor will the
most confirmed legislative reformer
maintain that this mighty bulk OF new
legislation was passed in response to
the popular will. The New York World
points the significance of this law
breeding mania in a manner at first
astounding, but ultimately impressive.
There is no certain popular demand for
more than a small fraction of this huge
outpouring of statutory law. 1t is
largely the work of special interests,
the work of noisy groups of busy
bodies, the work of zealots seeking to
force others into conformity to their
own passing notions of right habits and
conduct. The people are entitled to
respite from this wholesale, largely
haphazard law-making. 1t is out of
harmony with American institutions,
destructive of popular respect for law
and generally productive of wrong
ideals with regard to the function of
| legislation.

THE White Hope has come back into
FIFTY years ago today, April 8, 1865,
the civil war ended with the surrender
of Gen. Lee at AppOmattOx.

''PRIZE-FIGHTING, under any name,
and under the supervision of the state
or of municipality, is prize-fighting,
lust as has been barred by nearly every
state in the union. Wisconsin needs
none of it, wants none of it, and above
all, does not desire a partnership in it.
The chief of police of Milwaukee once
referred to the Wisconsin prize-fight
law as a scheme for promoting plug
uglies.' He was right, and such a
scheme can not long remain on the
statutes. If this Legislature does not
eliminate this commission, there will
soon come one which will. With all
their tolerance, the people of Wiscon-
sin are too progressive, too enterprls-
ing and too modern in their ideas to
continue long in partnership with that
portion of the sporting element back of
the fighting game. They want none of
it, and past experiences justify the as
sertion that they will have none OF 1T.
If the present legislature is represen-
tative of public sentiment upon this
question, it will pass the bill now be-
fore it, repeating the law and forever
putting the ban on the ring battles
which neither Nevada nor California
will tolerate.-Black River Falls Jour-
nal.

truth and fair play it will not jump at

the current charges against the uni

run the state; the university has been
a hOtbed of radicalism and La Follett-

much and has abused its freedom; the
university has been extravagant and

cherished illusions of grandeur; the
university has neglected its own proper

FAITH of the suffragists in the refn-
ing influence in politics which were to
come from giving the ballot to women
receives a severe jolt from reading the
account of disorders and riots that
have taken place in Chicago during the
late campaig n when it is found out
that women played an important role
and because of their sex were not as
roughly handled as the men by the
police. Refinement plays but small
figure in the political game.
