This nation 10 now in the midst Of
q controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace That question
We Will leave for diplomats to dis
J ctss. but peace within nations is no
s less important than peace between
nations and it: is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth. 81
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted: Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
ricuIture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations Wifi Industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs OF business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
Into the destiny Of commerce. Dur
ing tie past quarter of q century we
have fought many a2duel with prog
ress,r permitted many politicians to
carry on.aar guerrilla, warfare against
civilization and point q pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
s:out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
Tor no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given q
clearance to- sail for the port of Uni
yersal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity.

past, and the strength that new
found faith and love bring her. The
sacrifice which she makes for the man
she loves, her loyalty to another Wo-
man, and her resistance of further
temptation in order to be worthy
good mans respect are dramatic and
appealing to the extreme.
Many powerful contrasts are sestab-
lished in the play-the slums and the
avenue; the back room of Bowery
saloon, and the luxury and magnif1c-
(ence of Fifth avenue mansion; truth
and hypocrisy-aH are woven into
the web of the skillful plot con-
structed by the master dramatist.
Gladys Hanson makes the role Of
Moll O'Hara a genuine character
study. She is superb in the emotion
al scenes, and in her hours of re-
morse and repentance she suggests
yearning for purity and regenera-
Etion as tender as it is sweetly path
etic. The other characters are ca
pably interpreted by the usual ex-

Four Part Feature.

How many girls who start out in
life with the determination to follow
the straight road complete the jour
ney? It was this vital question that
the eminent dramatist, Clyde Fitch,
asked in his great stage production,
The Straight Road" and it was his
solution Of the problem that made
that play the tremendous theatrical
success that it became. ss ...
It was inevitable that play Of
such sterling qualities as ''The
Straight Road" should eventually find
its way to the screen, and the Fa-
nous Players Film Co. have at last
produced a four-part feature based
on the powerful drama.
.The Straight Road" is crowded
with many thrilling climaxes and
overpowering dramatic incidents. It's

Just before William Hayward,
counsel for the legislative committee.
ended the examination of Commits
sioncr George V. S. Williams. Of the
Public Service Commission, yestcr-
day, he referred jocularly to the fact
that the Commissioner had been
constant in his attendance prior to

hope he would not miss him for the
remainder Of the investigation. The
Commissioner saw no fun In il. He
said:

OF. IS We told the persons who an

examine them.
1T was only shat afternoon that we
across the pair. Their names had
not been mentioned during the trials
or appeals from conviction which were
ken after the Chinese were declared
guilty.. They had lain low, fearing TO
cor1e forward, because their testimony
might incrininste others, but when
our representatives finally found them
hey told the true story. II allowed 10
70 before the Governor they were pre-
pared to tell the names OF the real
murdereIS.
"The Governor, We were told by his
secretary. had been informed that We
had obtained the statements, but When
We made a last telephone call at 1880
o'clock IL was said that he had retired
without issuing instructions TO grant a
brief reprieve. A few hours stay would
have been sufficient ! am sure. 10 es-
:ablish the innocence Of the doomed
men"
g The facts and circumstances Of the
execution Of Eng Hing and Lee DOCK,
Mr.. Barber said. justified him in advo-
eating a change in the Jaw governing
capital punishment. On the night be.
sore an execution, he added, the fate Of
a man facing his doom was absolutely
N the hands Of the Governor. If FOR
ans reason that individual was indis-

toward at the last moment could not
save the prisoners life.
The man and the woman, both OF

20 save the Chinese, made aAidavits,
