HONOR TO JOHN BUNNY

We are accustomed, we hu-
mans, to pay honor to the
memory of him who is a lead
er of men in warfare; to the
memory of him who leads men
in statecraft; to the memory of
the great musician or the great
artist or the great poet. But
we shrink, somehow, from the
thought of honoring the mem
ory of the man who is known
as a great fun. maker, says the
Duluth Herald.
Holmes makes the Autocrat
try to explain this by saying
that we are prone to favor the
serious things in life and that
men will never take kindly to
a Hamlet played by one who
first appeared flourishing Paul
Pry's umbrella. He AYERS that
we laugh "at' the fun-maker
quite as much as with him.
Maybe Holmes is right. as
far as ne goes. But that does
not mean that the human traits
he enumerates are admirable.
In fact it is probable that they
are quite the reverse of admir-
able.
So let us join in a bit of
honor to the memory of John
Bunny, the man who has made
thousands laugh and forget, for
the moment, the multiplying
cares of everyday life and
pressing needs. His fame will
never be as high as that Of
many other men, but who shall
say that his work was not quite
as important as that of any?
Is it a small thing to furnish
men and women with the best
recreation and with temporary
and wholesome forgetfulness
in a form that brings no dan
gerOus or injurious reaction?
Had John Bunny lived a few
years earlier than he did his
work would have persisted
with him: but today the very
medium through which he
offered his services to the peo-
ple-the movies-will furnish
a constant and continuing
memorial to their thus far
greatest funny man. But on
many minds there is craven a
memory of him that will last
throughout life, and this
memory will be his best monu-
ment, and one that will grow
with every reproduction of his
mirth.invOking scenes.
Let nobody begrudge John
Bunny a prominent and an
honorable place in the memory
OF the people. If anyone is
deserving of HONOR it is he who
can do for tired humanity what
John Bunny could and did do
make it laugh and be glad.

Makes PLEA FOR
MORE MUNITIONS
Lloyd George Continues His Cam
paign With Workmen.

Liverpool, June 5.-Continuing
his campaign for the organization of
the munition trades of the country
and the speeding up of the output OF
shells and other war materials re-
quired by the army, David Lloyd
George, the new munitions minister,
addressed meetings here yesterday OF
employers and workmen.
He urged upon the workmen that
for the duration of the war union
regulations should be suspended, so
that every available man and wom-
an could be employed in the neces-
sary work.
"If every trade unionist," Mr..
Lloyd George told the workmen,
"was brought back from the front,
and if they worked to the utmost
limits of human endurance, there
would not be enough labor to pro-
duce what the government is asking
to have produced during the next
few months.
Mr.. Lloyd George added that as
government red tape had been cut,
the trade unionists also must relax
their rules. The country, he said,
was demanding as matter of right,
and not as a matter of appeal, that
every one of its citizens should do
his best, and he did not believe that
there was any objection to it being
made legal right and duty. :.
