SYNOPSIS OF THE LURE

The Void Film Corporation Shubert
feature, s'The Lure" is based upon .
play of the same name which had q
successful run year or two ago. wher
the stage was rejecting public senti
ment, that was, and always must be
in revolt against some dangerous as
poets Of social life as they affect the
well being of young womanhood. The
moral of the picture is that girl can,
not be too careful in choosing hef
male and female companions.
Down at Springfield, Mass, there
was a beautiful Economically minded
young girl at school. She was also an
heiress. Along comes Z sprightly
young blade from New York; falls in
love with the girl and she with him.
They elope and the girl discovers that
she has run away in haste and is left
to repent at leisure OfNcourse in the
end she is happily restored to her par
ents, whom she should have consulted
in the first instance; not, however,
before she has gone through much
suffering. The lure in her case was

Judge Dayton Of the federal court Of

Judge Dayton has been stockholder
in a number of corporations, that he
has been a director in bank and that

In the investigation it was learned
that a lawyer named Teter, who was
counsel for corporate interests, was
responsible for Dayton's election to
congress and afterwards for his ap-

plain why men of labor find it impos-
sible to secure any measure Of justice
from the bench, especially as repre-
sented by the federal judges.
It develops that the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad used its great influenc"
not only to force its knwon servitor In
to the position. where he could hes
serve them, but that in order to &C.
complish that end stopped to the
flthiest expedients to force the man
woh was then in the position they
coveted, to resign.
In thel light Of what has transpired
the conduct of Judge Dayton on the
bench is fully explained. He never
represented the judiciary branch OF
the government Of the country; he
represented the corporations that Sc
cured for him his remunerative posi-
ton; more remunerative, no doubt,
as long as he continued to faithfully
serve.
His hatred of organized labor is
fully explained when we consider
that he was elevated to the federal
bench only that he might continue his
services to the men who were respon-
sible for his elevation.
And, In our opinion, the fact that
he recognized and resented his own
degradation goes far to explain his
immoderate language from the bench.
His expressions of hatred for those
whom he was instructed to prosecute
were only to goad himself to the pro-
per frame Of mind to do the work
expected Of him; were attempts on
his part to Justify himself with what
was left of his conscience.
But, even though the federal bench
is purged of Judge Dayton, we fear
that the methods through which great
corporations seeking immunity in
criminal or civil cases; seeking tool
through whom they can prosecute
those who stand between them and
their power to exploit producers and
consumers alike, unchallenged, still
persists; that some other creature Of
the Aterests shall be elevated to the
place he vacates, through the same in
fluences that are responsible for
Judg Dayton.
Federal judges, like other public
servants, should owe their positions to
the people, directly, through the fran
chise. In other words, federal judges
should be elected by the votes Of the
.people.-The Unitd Mine Workers

Prince Maximilian, Who Might Have Been
 Emperor, 13 Today

Prince Maximi1ian, the eldest son of the murdered Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria, will be 8 years old today, as he was born Sept. 29, 1902. in Vienna. The ttHapsburg curse'' has descended upon the little Prince, for, unless he rise by his own merits, he is destined to spend. his life in obscurity, whereas if fortune had favored him he might one day have sat upon the throne of the dual monarchy. Itfs true that the orphan lads mother was not of the blood royal, and therefore prescribed by 1nm emoria1 Hapsburg law from be- coming the mother of a king. It is also true that when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir-presnrnptive to the crown of Francis Joseph, mar ried the woman of his choice, Coun- tess Sophie Chotek. the aIlianace was considered a morganatic one, and the Archduke took a solemn oath exclud- ing his wife and children from the throne. Yet laws older than those of the Hapsburgs, and vows more ser ious than that taken by Francis Fer dinand, have been broken, and for years before his tragic death the Archduke labored to elevate his wife to royal standing and to make his eldest son his heir. He besought the good offices of the Vatican to relieve him of his VOW, and the influence of other royal houses to supplement- his efforts. It was significant that King George and Queen Mary received the Duchess of Hohenburg-the title con ferred upon the Archduke's wife by Francis JOseph--on terms of com p1ete equality, and thus indicated that they were in full sympathy with the Archduke and Duchess in their attempt to triumph over ancient law and custom. The Hungarians were almost ta unit in favoring the claims of the morganatic wife, and the Hun garian Parliament pron her claims to the Hungarian throne valid and declared that when Ferdinand became King of Hungary she would reign as Queen, and her son, Prince Maxirnilian, would be accepted as heir to the throne There was every indication that the Duchess would be the victor in her fight for her children when she and her husband were as sassinated at Sarejevo, Bosnia, last year. The tragedy not only left Prince Maximiltan orphan, but it depriv- ed him of all chance of ever ascend ing the throne.
