A SUMMING PARTY.

fore we realized it, we were walking
down the aisle and climbing upon the
rather uncertain stage, a spotlight up
on us, facing the big, surprised audi
cnce, which rose to its feet.

a Chinese woman sold bracelets for

Deny Triangle Failure

A rumor to the effect that the Tri-
angle Film Corporation has gone to
the wall with a two million dollar de-
tcit is emphatIcalIy denied at the pub
licity ONCE OF the company. From
that source also comes the statement
that D. w. Griffith has by telegram
declared that he is not to withdraw
from the Triangle in order TO ally
himself with the Mutual. The cause
of the rumor is found in the supposed
receipt in New York OF two kilograms,
purporting to be signed by Grif1th.
which stated that the Reliance and
Majestic companies were returning to
Mutual. while Keystone released alone
in future. and that Ince was the only
feature left in Triangle.

7 HAVE read about it often and
have heard about it oftener, but
l never really went Summing
until the other evening. OF course, l
feel there is no part Of the city, from
the heights to the depths, we do not
see when we are abroad taking pic
tures. But the terrors are always les
sened by the sunlight drifting into the
alleyways. making them little less
gloomy and formidable than they
seem in the dark nights, lighted only
by an occasional street lamp.
It has always seemed strange to
me to find how happy the people are
who live in these miserable tene-
ments, while l have often observed
how somber hued are the lives of
those who come from mansions on
Fifth Avenue or the Drive.
AS we drove through the streets, in
spite of the cold. the old Italians with
their hurdy-gurdy were still playing
on the street corners. Though it was
getting toward ten o'clock, there were
dozens of children swarming around,
dancing in the cold, partly to keep
warm and partly because theirs is the
natural joy of living.
Most interesting of all the evening
was our visit to the Yiddish theater,
where we were guests of the Russian
and Jewish actors. How wonderful
they seemed to US, although we did
not understand a word of what they
said. Their pantomime and their
movements were so expressive we did
not need to know their language.
Only a few years ago had Nazi,
nova been discovered in one of these
little theaters, and so thrilled were
we by the acting of one young girl,
we felt it would not be long before
Broadway would be calling to her,
too.
In Strange Company.
Some one suggested, when we left
the theater, that as We represented
the great moving picture industry, we
should go to the largest of the East
Side moving picture theaters. Up a
little crowded elevator into a great
spacious theater we went, which was
packed with Russians, Poles and
Jews-ih fact, all the nationalities of
Europe and America. We looked past
this sea Of strange foreign faces and
felt almost as if we had stepped into
another country.
The little manager wedged his way
through the crowd and came upon US
with wonderment in his eyes.
I'VE know you," he said to Clara
Kimball Young and me. There is not
a man, woman or child in this house
who does not know you. We show
your pictures here all the time" and
after telling US how fond the people
were of US and with what enthusiasm
they greeted US on the screen, he
asked If we wouldn't go up on the
stage and speak Jew words to them.

saps the vitality of nation and carry
it to tis logical conclusion, war, means
the progressive deterioration of the
race, and this ought to constitute a
sufficient deterrent to our engaging in
all wars. But war is not deferred be-
cause of logical deductions any more
than it is guided by moral precepts.
From the moment that we engage in
the conflict our ethical concepts be-
come subordinated to abysmal forces.
Religious dogma is distorted and per-
verted and becomes the plant tool Of
the gods of war. Reason is dethroned
when a man reaches the stage where
he can plunge a bayonet into the quiv-
ering flesh of a fellow-being, see the
red blood rush forth and the life ebb
awayfl. He becomes a prey to those
dormant elemental passions which be-
tray the beast and leave behind an
imperishable imprint:
Woman's Great Part.
It seems remarkable that when we
discuss this question of the preserva-
ton of the race we entirely overlook
one factor, and by all odds the most
important, namely, the part played by
woman. Necessary as the function
may be which man performs, he con-
tributes very little to the propagation
of the species: How strange that we
should ignore the glaring fact that all
our heredity tendencies are ;trans-
mitted through the woman. All the

LAWS FAIL To KEEP
STEP WITH PROGRESS
President Kansas Bar Association
Tells Lawyers to Keep Up
t0-Date.
Continued on Page z.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 10.-In his
opening address to the Kansas Bar
association, President Kagey said:
The administration of law has failed
to keep step with the onward march
of science and civics and have clung to
tradition and precedent until it has
come to look with suspicion and even
disfavor on any innovation, however
wholesome, economical or expeditions.
And this applies with equal force to
criminal as well as to civil procedure" !"
President Kagey made this declara-
tion in connection with his demand
for public defenders. He said this
theory is gaining ground and that it
is correct, from moral standpoint,
as the state owes it to the poor, who
are unable to employ counsel, to pro-
vide a competent public defender, to
pay him for his services, to give him
the same inquisitorial and other
powers as the prosecutor, and, in ad-
dition to this, the state should pro-
vide pay for witnesses for the defense
in all criminal cases.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-02-12

tor in the deterioration of the race.
Thus, it follows that, where reason
fails, instinct steps in to keep the
women out aof the trenches. For un-
mitigated, undated stupidity, the
antis carry the palm.
Any nation that is long engaged in
warfare must in the end succumb to
moral degeneracy, unless the conflict
be waged for noble cause, and who
is to be the judge of that? Even then
the original objective may be lost
sight of, if the struggle become a pro-
tractfd one.
Experience Of the Past.
But what proof is there that war has
a tendency to. lower the standard of
vitality of d nation? OF Sparta the
contrary was true, and even the de-
cline of Rome could not be cited as a.
case in point. Where is the evidence
to show, for instance, that Napoleon
Topped cubit off the statute of the
Frenchman?" This is but sample of
those glib sayings which pass from
mouth to mouth without question and
paralyze any incentive to discover the
real explanations. At the time of the
Boer war, England was obliged to
lower the standard in order to secure
a sufficient number of soldiers of the
required height. II the facts could be
ascertained, we should flnd beyond a
doubt that this condition is duplicated
in every European country. This

By ALEXANDER FRAZER.


A fear has arisen in the minds of
many people that the present war will
deplete the vitality of the various ma
tions engaged in it because only the
healthy men are chosen to do the
fighting, while the physically unfit are
thus Selected" to propagate the spe-
cies. Here we have a specimen of
those popular fallacies which take pos
session of the human mind because
they obtain the sanction of PLAUSIBLE
ity, but have no basis in fact. For
quite time the inverse argument
held good, namely, that war supplied
an excellent method for the disposal of
our tramps.
Folly of Shallow Thought.
Little as our experience with war
has been, it was sufficient to put the
quietus upon that contention in point
of fact, the many delusions to which
the unsophisticated mind becomes
subject and to which it will adhere
with dogged tenacity can be traced
to just this superficial mode of think
ing. A very little analysis would suf-
flee to dispel many of the miscon-
ceptions by which we are enslaved, but
are too indolent to put forth the effort
necessary to overcome that mental in
ertia which blocks our way to an un-
derstanding of even the most simple
and self-evident propositions.
IT we accept the premise that war

accumulations of the past, which
either advance or retard us in our
progress to a higher plane. are nur-
tured in the womb of the woman and
carried forward by her. The only
function which the male performs is
the act of impregnation by which the
seed Is fertilized and from that time
on he is, from biological point of
view, as good as non-existent The
father may die in the trenches, but the
child will come into being almost be-
yond peradventure. The important
role here played by a. woman would be
accorded it's true value were it not
that we are so obsessed with sense
of our own superiority that we are as
blind as moles to the most palpable
facts. ::
Mans False Position.
One of the objections urged against
woman suffrage was that the woman
should be debarred from exercising
the franchise because she does not
take her part in the fight on the field
OF battle. This appeared to be a
clincher. In view of the foregoing,
try to imagine under what different
aspect we should be obliged to view
the matter If we reversed the process
and sent the women into the trenches
instead of the men. The complexion
Of the case would then undergo a
change so complete that we might we'll
consider whether war were not a fac
