AUTHORITIES"
Produced, Coming to the Auditor. ium.

iun.
 As a special feature, and the biggest attraction the Norwich public has ever seen in motion pictures, the man. agement of the Auditorium has book ed for the first three days of next week, July 5, 6, and 2. Hyprocitess'' This startling feature ran for several months at the Longacre theatre. New York city, at an admission price of soc to $2.00, and the house was solid at practically every performance. The following Is part of a criticism on this exceptional feature taken from one of the leading American theatrical papers.
 In offering Hypocrites, Bostworth outshines it's own high standard by presenting a, motion picture produc- tion that will create a stir in film cir cles. Written and produced by Lois Weber GMrs. Phillips Smalley, of the this play offers subject that is re- markable in more ways than one, par ticularly in it's treatment of the truth. It drives home with vivid force the different forms of hypocrisy practised in our everyday life.
 While the church is chiefly involved in this play (no special creed being designated), the subject in no way criticises the divine belief. but, rather, the people in general. who, from ap- pearances, indicate sincerity in their belief.
 The picture opens with a prologue to the story, telling of how Gabriel, an ascetic monk of long ago, after com pleting statue on which he had been working in strict secrecy, dies at the hands of his people for displaying the naked figure of Truth. Only two be- tue without hinching, a little child and woman. who loves him. The un- yelling of the statute is made fete day, and many people are present at this affair. These scences have been produced with much splendor, and the fine work is noticeable on the part of the Narge mobs, which have been most effectively handled by the director.
 Gabriel is then shown as the minis ter of a present-day church. He is seen giving a passionate sermon, de- nouncing hyproc1sy, but he is aware of the fact that his words have been in vain. In the congregation are the same people, who, in the prologue, killed the monk. With the exception of two girls the congregation is either bored or shocked by his sermon. These two remain long after the others have left. One is a choir girl who loves the minister. and another is a Mag daIen. The minister finds Sunday paper, which one of his choir boys has been reading during the sermon, and falls into a dream. He becomes the old Gabiel and meets Truth who through her mirror, shows him the hypocrisy to be found in society, the home, the love affair, politics. and even shows him the one person who tried to reach the gates of Truth did so only through love for him.
 A special performance will be given to the Mayor and City officials by special invitation at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. July 4th. No chil- dren under sixteen years of age will be admitted to the theatre during the showing of this picture.

Too MUCH LAW MAKING.

ton the announcement that The Forum
is to begin next month the publication of
a series of articles by some of the most
eminent men in the country on one of the
grave and growing evils of the time, name
ly, the tendency toward excessive legisla-
ton and the consequent increase in the
army Of officials who live at the expense of
the taxpayers, and many Of whom render
very small returns for what they draw
from the public funds Among those who
will contribute articles are ex-President
Taft, United States Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, President Butler of Columbia
university, President Emeritus Eliot OF
Harvard university, ex-Ambassador David
Jayne Hail. and others equally able and
prominent.
The articles will be designed to show
that this country is gradually, if not rap
idly, approaching European conditions il

called Il ruling class Laws and officials

No conspiracy is revealed in the disclo-
sure that the Germans are trying to buy
ammunition and ammunition plants in
this country. The Germans have every
right under the law to buy all the NUM-
tions of war they can get their hands on
and to ship them into their home ports
if possible. The allies have the right to
stop the landing of such munitions if they
are able to do So As a neutral nation we
shall continue to furnish material to the
warning nations of both sides, and those
nations will settle the question of whether
the supplies reach their destinations.

One of the leading railroads of the
United States some time ago decided to
quit posting delinquents and instead to
post" an honor list. 1t used to pillory
the defective and inefficient of its staff;
it decided to praise the efficient and de-
serving. Six months test of the sensible
system has had the following results: A
decrease Of g. per cent in cases requiring
discipline; a decrease of II per cent in
total days suspension of employees; and
- per cent decrease in wages loss to the
workers. Explaining the results one of
the officials now admits that, whereas
they once appealed to fear, they now APP
peal to hope.

Lynchine the Honor of a State.
New York Worldly

On Sunday Leo Frank left the Mill
edgeville prison hospital, cured OF the
wound inflicted by the negro convict
Green. On Monday a band of Mary
Phagan's Marietta neighbors dashed
more than 100 miles across the state,
dragged Frank from his cell and re-
turned to Marietta, where they hanged
him Yesterday in broad daylight.
Public neglect or collision favored
the deed at every step. There was no
opposition. The Marietta chief of po-
lice knew nothing afterward of a crime
his neighbors knew all about before
hand. In more than 200 miles of open
road no one questioned the lynchers
procession Atlanta does not know
whether the party avoided the city or
passed through. In Milledgeville, though
there had been warning enough, moth
| ing was done by 80 armed men, behind
walls that would have stood a siege,to
defend their charge.
Night yelled Georgia s contempt of
law. Day lighted its odd ideas of de
cency When the body was " found
