The Treadwell Smoker

! Ihe smoker Co be given Oy the AIedu' we'll fire department at the Douglas Natatorium tomorrow night is matter of intense interest to the hundreds of men who have been fortunate enough to receive invitations. And because it is impossible to find building on the Island large enough to hold the crowd that would attend. the admission will be limited to those only who have in. vitauons and bring them with them.
 The preparations for this event have been carried forward through some diff hcnlties which have kept Tom McDon. ald guessing most of the time. In training the boxers, he has been ably assisted by Messrs. Norman Worth and Joe Madsen.
 The doors of the big hall will be opened on the evening of tbe smoker at 7:30 o'clock; the music, supplied by the Treadwell Club band, will start at o'clock, and the big show at 8:3O.
 The officials who will have charge of the evenings program, etc., are as fol- lows:
 Announcer, Jack Wilson; referee, Pat Scott; judges, J. P. Henson and D. J. Kinsie; referee of wrestling, W. R.. Lindsay; timekeeper, c. E. Bennett; Chas Hall iu charge of seating.
 Ofcourse this is an entertainment for men, who almost without exception enjoy a contest where physical strength and skill are displayed iu the manly art of self defense. The program will be varied, however, by the introduction of a couple of monologues, one by Prof. Dyer, and the music of the band. The list of boxing events as near as it can be determined at this time, is as follows:
 Smith, of Douglas, vs. Salmouson, of Treadweu; featherweights.
 Graybill, of Treadwell, vs. Salmonsou of Douglas; special weights
 Ninuis, of Treadweu, vs Davies, of Juneau; Iightweights.
 Burlington vs. "Red;" lightweights, of Treadwel.
 Gallwas, of Douglas, vs. Burgert, of Treadwell; welterweights.
 Olson vs. Dubinsky, welterweights, of TreadweI.
 Kennedy, of the Alaska-Juueau, vs. Granger, of Juneau, or Dermody, of Treadwell; welJerweights.
 Higley, of Treadwel, vs. Perry, of Juneau, ligbt heavyweigbts.
 Stewart, of Thane, vs Pleas, of Doug las, heavyweighJs.
 Two wrestling contests are on the list, Will Barquist vs. D. K. Allen; Perovich vs. McGafuey or Stringero.
 An interesting feature will be jui jitsu exhibition, given by Sobei Oda, a graduate of Waseda university, and Tucker Kawamura.
 All of the contestants are, of course, strictly amateurs, but their strength, skill and ability is largely the result of careful training and proper living. Director Tom Mcdonald has expressed a hope that a series of these contests can be arranged between the channel cities, especially now that bis friend Pat Scott has been engaged as physical director of the Juneau A. B's.
 
 The attendance on Thursday night promises Co be large. Douglas fremen will be there in force as every member of tho department has been kindly furnished with ticket.

Weird Verse by Laurence Hope

HUMILITY ITS CHIEF NOTE
Announcement Whets Interest
In Young Stars Managerial
Venture.

Songs have suggested many things
70 many minds. but the suggestion
contained in Laurence Hopes weird
East Indian ballad, Less Than Dust"
would hardly appear to contain the
germ OF q picture play for so active
Q personality as that of Mary Pick
ford.
Yet precisely this song has been
made the basis Of the nrst play to
b turned out by Miss Pickford for
the Inauguration Of her career as an
''actress-managene -produceress"
Reverting to the basis of the photo
play matter published in this column
yesterday 1t might be stated that
neither did this mouthful of title
come from the king Of the Iress
agents, Welles Hawkes. who has es-
sayed to make the fame of Miss
Pickford ever more "famer than
famest." But Hawkes. is at liberty
70 use It,
What he had to say about the mat
started with the production Of the
play based on Less Than Dust"
This song appears with a series of
Laurence Hopes ballads of East
India under the. title of East
Indian Love Lyrics" and is mrch

musicales and exclusive concerts.
The songs are really excellent eX-
amples Of weird Indian poetry and
music. and are regarded by critics of
the most exquisite type Of such
creations.
On Hawkes. Authority.
Hector Turnbull. who was for so
long dramatic critic of the New
York Tribune, and later head Of the
scenario department of the L.asky
Film Company. is the author Of the
play that has been made from LESS

verse gives one very complete idea
Of extreme humility. The play that
has been made from 1t concerns a lit
tie English girl, and the scenes are
laid In India and England
John Emerson, the stage director
whose entrance to the motion picture
field as one Of the Triangle directors
was regarded as one of the really big
things that have happened to motion
pictures in the last year and a half,
has charge of the production of the
play so far as direction goes. Mr..
Hawkes-he can't be left out of 1t
altogether-asserts that Mr.. Emer-
son has created wonderful asmos-
phertc production.
Hawkes. Is given as authority for
this, as he appears to be the only
one who knows anything about it
except. Of course, Miss Pickford. Mr..
Turnbull. Mr.. Emerson. and quite a
lot Of other people. in fact. Anyhow.
Hawkes. Is the only ONE who has any
thing to say about II at all. That's

Harvey saw It and, mad. clear

The captain triumphantly pointed
with his sword to the card on the

military strategist, He used to work
at It for a living before the motion

He was appointed an umpire at
one OF the maneuvers held in Cali

a river had, theoretically, been
blown up to prevent troops from

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cnuse is often given as heart disease, or
disease Of brain or lungs.

ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR
CARLSON

"Two years ago the Prohibitory
Amendment was a direct issue before
the people of this state. Two years
ago every political prophet revealed
the rich promise of victory to those
who would espouse the "wet" cause
and the doom of defeat to those who
might oppose it.
"Where were our opponents upon
this question two years ago? All
Colorado has heard much of late of
their recent conversation, but would
cerety of their repentance to preface
it with little genuine confession?
Did they not under their leadership
Of two years ago basely and delib-
erately offer to sacrifice a principle
upon the altar of political expedi-
ency?
1--WE do not wish TO embarrass
them by recalling what they would
like to forget, but we are ready and
eager for any new light and explana-
ton that they may offer now as to
what they meant by those words in
their party platform of two years
ago:
" We favor local option in the ap-
plication of prohibition to the liquor
traffic. Every self-gov-
erning community, which constitutes
social unit, should have the right
to control or withhold the issuance of
liquor licenses
"'We believe that in the present
state of the public mind the main
tenance and extension of the princi-
pie of local option will best conserve
the cause of temperance and sobriety.
While we favor local option, we hold
that the prohibition or regulation of
the liquor traffic is in no sense par
ty issue, but is a matter to be left
with the judgment and conscience of
each individual voter
"At that time when the prohibitory
amendment was struggling for life
and light and this powerful leadership
was upon it seeking to crush it, did
their present standard bearer utter
one word of public protest? At a
time when the voices of strong and
independent men could be heard upon
every side, did anyone hear his voice?
We do not wish to ha ,praooro,,n A.
our worthy opponent, but we wish
to know, did anyone in Colorado hear
MIN speak a helpful word did he
write friendly line?
"ls it fair for a man to ask to he
entrusted with the immediate leader
ship of great cause who, altho h.
had prominence and power, when this
cause was an issue in his own COM
