British Attacks Repulsed.
The German official communication

GEORGE KLE|ME'S
VENDETTA" At
W|GWAM TONIGHT

. George Kleine's famous picturiza-
ton Of the widely read novel "Vendet-
tat. by Marie Corelli, comes to the
Wigwam tonight. The picture is in
five reels and contains some of the
most beautiful scenery ever filmed by
this great producer. To say that the
plot Is out of the ordinary would be
putting 1t mildly. To see this great
picture means witnessing one of the
strongest workings ever devised by
Fate. Marie Corelli's works are world
known for their merit and George
Kleine has never been surpassed as
producer of spectacular photoplays.

Col. Roosevelt said In one Of his
California speeches that tho man
who IL afraid to fight Is not fit TO
vote: but the courage which makes
a man willing TO fight is the cheap
est form OF courage in the world.
That which is most plentiful Ia

person who practices the public for

ligious: but he may be a hypocrlte.
The man who rises Internationally
when the Star Spangled Banner" is
played may be real patriot: but
no may be one OF those hypocrites
who would make money out OF the
flag. and loves II because II affords
cloak for plumber.
That man who is afraid TO fight
may be a better citizen than the
ready battler. Benjamin Franklin
never showed any willingness to 20

fortune to help outfit Braddock's
army, and served his country well

THE MAYOR AND CHIEF LANG

S. A LTHO thought he was indiscreet, | told him
"A him did not think he did anything
wrong"
Thus is Mayor Gill quoted in reference to
Chief Lang'S wine party-cabaret girl "hde-and-Seek'
party.
The mayor overlooks the important point. He
seems to be of the opinion that chief of police
ought not 10 be fired unless he has committed a
crime punishable under the law. II the chief were
guilty of crime, there would be no need for the
mayor TO fire him, The courts and jails would do
that.
Ii is in the case Of 'lndscretlons," as the
mayor describes Lang's antics, that the DUTY IS
placed on the mayor to exercise his right TO
subordinate An 'indiscretion" on the part Of a
chief OF police is an altogether different thing from
an ''ndiscretion" of a private individual In the
latter case the individual only is affected But with
chief of police paradns his ndiscretions," he be-
comes public evil
