SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION. =


Science has done great things for us
mechanically resulting from her
progress in physics and chemistry.
Also by close study of anatomy and
physiology and careful observations
of the phenomena of health and dis
ease in the human body it has evolved
great things in medicine and surgery.
Now modern civilization halts and
staggers because science has not yet
thrown enough light on our social or
ganism. Modern society languishes
and is threatened with extinction be-
cause in it's social functions and
methods it is still enveloped in the
swaddling clothes of primitive bar
barism.
Chaos here still reigns supreme.
The methods of intelligence and rea-
son have hardly made any inroads in
this sphere of life. The necessity of
reconstruction has long been seen
and appreciated by the best minds.
This l believe cannot be better shown
than by Carl Marks "Capital," Victor
Hugo's LES Miserables" and Edward
BeIamy's Looking Backward" and
Equality" These few books have
only been the main strokes of the
tuning fork which have set thousands
of other strings Migrating in unison
about these social problems.
And, still, after half century of
such splendid enlightenment on the.
subject, which is best embodied in
the mass of Socialist literature, prac-
tically nothing has yet been done to
apply this medicine and surgery to .
our suffering body polite. AS a con-
sequence, our social condition has
gone from bad to worse. The Euro
pean war is only the crisis of this sit
uation, which could have been avoid

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Hazel Dawn as CIarissa in "Gambiers Advocate," Both ThriIIino and Charming.

A feature that may be called both thrilling and charming is a rare com position, but this description may be accurately applied to the latest Par amount release produced by the Fa- nous Players Film Co.,, Hazel Dawn ln Gamblers Advocate, the current at traction at the Auditorium.
 In the role of C1arissa, Hazel Dawn presents a character both enchanting and absorbing. The photoplay, found- ed on the noted story by Ronald Mac Donald, may be termed a melodram- at1c romance, with the strong elements of the drama and the sweet note of sentiment wing for supremacy. It can be said, however, that neither phase Of the story triumphs completely. be- cause the greatest success of the pro- auction is won by Hazel Dawn her self.
 A Universal Nestor comedy with Eddie Lyons in the leading role will also be shown, and there will be three fine vaudeville acts on the bill. in clud1ng the Lucier Trio, singers: Field Barnes, Xylophone expert and Gorh- man and Phillips, modern dancers.
 An extraordinary show has been booked for the first of next week when the Paramount feature, Mary Pick ford in Rags, will be shown as the feature Of the picture 2rogram and a pig tabloid musical show with if teen people in the cast will head the vaudeville part of the program.

HARRY LAUDER
At the Davis, Saturday. Matinee Only.

A new song by Harry Lauder has become something of an epoch and when it is announced that he will sing at least six new ones during his visit to this city at the Davis theatre, Sat urday, Dec. 11th, for matinee per tOrmance only, it will be readily un- derstoOd that there will be something worth going miles to hear. What has made the Lauder songs so popular is their peculiar catchy lit and the sim plicity of the lyrics which makes audi ences take up the songs with Lauder and his auditors become old friends on the moment.
 Mir. Lauder, on this occasion, will be making his eighth annual tour of America, and not only is it the long est tour he has made, but everywhere he has appeared he has more than equalled the favor with which he was formerly received and that means hundreds have been turned away at every one of his performances. Mir Morris, anxious to surround his great star with a suitable company. has combed the vaudeville markets of Eu- rope and America for novel acts. In this instance the company will include the Al GOlem Troupe of 16 dancers acrobats and comedians who have appeared in this country before; Mile Lucille and her talking cockatoo; Sel- Wyn Driver, and his humorous and novel piano specially; Dave Genaro and Isabelle Jason in a series of dances, and Albert DonneIly, the si- lent humorist in shadowgraphic art

Or now we drlit. or whence or why There is an unseen presence near And I shall follow till I die.

 There dwells immortal hope and love I shall not murmur or complain To know or know not-this, I feel, Whatever end may be in store I have felt perfect moments steal And l have known some joy and rest Some comfort and some cheer of soul And surging through my cOntritt

 Some union with the spiritual Whole.
