In his speech, Mr.. Owens called at
tenticn to the preparedness propa-
ganda and said that the way in which
to save the nation would be not to
prepare to defend it against its
enemies, but to remove the cause of
the other country's hate against us.
These causes he cited as the presence
of oar soldiers on the soil of Mica
ragua and Haiti. He likewise scored
the Mexican policy and contended that.
If the United States ought to enter
Mexico, the soldiers who would do the
work ought to be the capitalists who
would benefit by the invasion. He
concluded by saying that all laborers
are brothers and all capitalists their
enemies, that there was no real ma
tional line and that the United States
capitalist would be just as much the
enemy Of the American laboring man
as the German or British capitalist if
this country became involved in war
with either of these countries.
Future of Europe.
Mr.. Gibson followed by saying that,
at the end of this war, socialism would
be resorted to by Europe in order to
tighten the tax burden which, he
claimed, would be levied on the poor
by the capitalist class. He claimed
that the class struggle was one which
had gone on for ages and would ter
inmate al the end of the present war
with the establishment of the unity OF
man.
Mfr. Gibson's talk was followed by
short talks Of members of the organi-
zation, dealing mostly with plans for
increasing the number in the party.

William S. Hart, the noted film star
who appears regularly in Triangle
kay-Bee features. makes a speciality
Of playing western characters. He
himself was reared on the plains of
North Dakota among the Sioux In
dians, so he knows something about
making them true to life. But while
his deliaeations constitute wide gal
lery of western figures, he prefers one
special type. This Is the western bad
man"
Il like him best" says Mr.. Hart,
because he is the most maligned per-
son west of the Mississippi, and l en-
JOY presenting him from the angle
that shows him for what he truly is
l knew some famous western bad men
in the early days of the Dakotas, but
| never met one whose real badness
was indicative of the real man.
The conventional bad man has be-
come a veritable studio lay-fgure;
my present mission in life is to put
some humanity in him. Something of
my wish seems to have been conveyed
to the men who write scenarios for
me; for they frequently write NE bad
man parts. Heretofore, the consist
ent villain has been given largely as
contrast to the hero, or to work some
mean piece Of business in the plot;
but as a central figure without COM
plete conversion from lifetime hab-
its, I believe he is more or less of a
novelty"

Little need be said concerning Mary

to her coming is enough to insure
great enthusiasm and keen apprecia-
ton on the part of the theatre-goers,
no matter what role she may appear
in. 1t is her personality that holds
the favor of the public. The versa
tility of the little artist is strongly
revealed in the role of Madame But
