They seem to confirm all the facts as stated by MT. Lifts and by others. And they further go to show that the way the Industrial Worker had these inspections dopeo out was right in line with the facts.
 Interesting would it be to know the inner facts of all. The founda- ton for whitewash is that political pull which compels the Morningside people to be immune and to have all the powers that be rushing in to slobber whitewash over that in- stitution when criticism gets it in bad with the people. That political pull is the real secret of it's power.

Crisis Pictured.
1t covers a wide range OF American
history and touches only the highest
points of interest in the great events
that led UP to and terminated the
Civil war. The force that slavery
played in producing this crisis is
traced from its inception to It's aboli-
ton. While the basic theme is his
torlcal in its foundation. Its intent is
the fundamental one OF true drama.
The forces which make for these re-
suits have been marshalled upon a
larger scale than was ever dreamed Of
before. Where directors OF vast spec
tacles have dealt with hundreds in the
past Griffith employs thousands. 49,
900 people fill his stage, which has
vast territory for its background.
5000 horses pass before your view in
wild dashes over miles Of country
roadway. The great out Of doors is
Mr.. Grifith's special field. Great battle

and score OF the song which will be

have collaboruted in the composition
Of song. their first effort having
been Peggy" the catchy Scotch mel
ody. which is dedicated TO Billie Burke
who is starred in the photoplay OF
the same name, is now causing SEN
satlon throughout the country. Like
Peggy" the music of "The No-Good
Guy" was adapted from the incidental
music OF the film play. The lyric fol-
lows:
Jimmy Coughlin was a lad
Who had always been in bad
With certain class Of people in the
town:
Just let Jimmy show his face,
Every waiter In the place
Would start In getting busy
Serving drinks till he was dizzy.
And from Frisco back TO Maine.
At the mention Of his name,
All the breweries started working
night and day;
When his sails were all spread out,
lie would raise his arms and shout,
Down with booze! Down with booze!
BILLY Sundays after youse!"
Chorus.
He's no-good guy; oh, he's a devil!
He's a no-good guy; say. on the level.
When he's in the high
Ho makes things fly,
When he left Colorado, why the state
went dry.
He's no-goOd guy; he's always
picked.
When he said Goodbye" his folks
were uckled;
And he runs his flivver,
With old Green River;
He's a no-good guy.
Jimmie gathered up a crew,
Said: "I'll tell you what we'll do;
well stop this bloody war in thirty
days"
He took Mr.. Rock and Rye,
And Mr.. Mum, who's always dry,
And started for the trenches.
With a dozen different quenches;
And the soldiers all got stewed,
Just as Jimmy thought they'd do.
But his talk OF having peace was all
in vain;
For he'd mixed his drinks too much,
And the Irish, Turks and Dutch.
Pulled their guns, Jimmie run.
And they hollered, one by one:
Chorus.
He's a no-good guy; cocktail mixer,
He's no-good guy; Yankeefixer.
And in old Berlin, a Zeppelin
Tried to put his lights out with a
quart Of gin,
And as the shells flew by. they seemed
to boiler:
He's a no-good guy; he lost his color
When they threw him back on board
With Mr.. Henry Ford:
He's a no-good guy.
