oniy man who can rope it and hogtie
it ano' keep it from doing any harm.
So Wall street is for 7. r. as an in

l didn't think much of this bald
dining car chat, but within a few
weeks | was in Minneapolis and there
met an old friend who was a political
writer on a stand-pat Twin Cities pa
per. He said something to me which
so fitted into what my broker friend
said that it rather piqUed by curl
OSity.
Il saw a Duluth man the other
day." said he, who told me some
thing that rather startled me. He is
a man who owns so much iron ore
he can walk right into the Holy Of
Holes in New York"
The message this iron ore man
brought from New York, according
to my informant, was this:
They say in New York they are
going to nominate Roosevelt to sue
coed Taft. They urge that we all get
behind the colonel in a quiet way, be-
cause this wave of anarchy and So
cialism and LaFOlletteism out west
is getting so strong it threatens all
our interests. They say Roosevelt is
the only man able to ride that wave
into power and control it so it won't
do us any actual harm.
81 told them l was against him and
asked how they knew he wouldn't
throw them down when they got him
in. They said it was their best
chance, that Taft was a dead cock in
the pit"
That sounded interesting, but not
half so much as it does after watch
ing the rise, the fall and the assassi-
nation of the Progressive party.

party, born four years ago and Just
laid to rest.)
BY HERBERT QUICK
Take a look at the Progressive
movement in the beginning of 1912:
Roosevelt encouraging LaFoIlette to
run against Taft, RoOsevelt's Pro-
gTessiYe friends encouraged by him
to boost LaFOIlette and his candi-
dacy, no thought in Progressive
ranks that Roosevelt had any inten-
ton Of running himself against Taft,
LaFOllette burning up The midwest
in whirlwind speeches of the old La
Toilette type.
Surely, LaFOllette's talk in 1910 to
the effect that T. R. would be the evil
genius Of the insUTgent movement
seemed the widest sort of pessimism.
No whisper came to my ears, from
Progressive circles, up to this time
that Roosevelt had any intention of
running for the nomination. But
whispers DID come to my ears, and
I suppose to the others who get at
the inside of things, that he would
be a candidate.
Whence did these whispers come?
From Wall street, of all places!
One day as early as the late sum-
mer of 1911 I met on the Twentieth
Century Limited New York broker
one Of those men who associate
with insiders, but who really take lit
tie interest in politics.
q understand, said he, "Roose-
welt is to be given the nomination
next summer and Taft will be
dropped"
why" said I, che said he would
not be a candidate"
well, the man who told me-" said
the broker, says Roosevelt may or
may not know it, but Wall street is
going to see that he is nominated and
elected"

, Uncle Toms Cabin fame); nor is the Nellie-the-bea utiful- -cloak-model type in evidence; there isn't any Little Sister" drama, or swashbuckler performance of morals, wars, emotions, or economies; of hyperbole-there isn't suggestion; but wholesome, beautiful love story; queer, to be sure. and very original and which most of us liked, who read MT. Curwood's novel of a season ago.
 When I went to see Gods Country and the Woman" I felt as MT. Alan Dale (who recently left his job of critic and first nighter), when he said of a certain play:
 ''The sublime sensation of going to the theatre has returned to me-"
 Yes, that's the way I felt when I went to see Gods Country and the Woman" in it's simplicity, it's sincerity, and it's pretty adherence to a tradition that comes of faith and hope in the man for the woman he loves-the iron-clad tradi- ton that he will guard and protect her though all the world be against her, it is most appealing.
 One of the things that I liked about Gods Country and the Woman" was that I didn't know anything about the players: I don't recall ever seeing any of them before; if I have seen them don't remember, so it was just the same as not seeing them; this gave an impe- tus to my interest and I discovered that

TT HERE are some people who like ca,
 viar; some who like corn beef and
 cabbage; some take chicken livers en brochette, while others stick to "wein- erwursts.'
 Certain gentlemen prefer domestic "Pil- sener'' to Creme Yvette; others an old fashioned "toddy,'' to sparkling Burgun- dy, but why squabble about taste? One thing is certain, whatever you like, or don't like, will be summed up in one sem tence: "You can't help liking the pie ture from Mr. James Oliver Curwood' s interesting novel, Gods Country and the Woman"
 Gods Country and the Woman" is melodrama filled with saccharine emo ton, garnished with romance and put together with little strips of smiles and tears and woven into shape by a loving touch and a graphic pen that pictures the far-off northwest of MT. Curwood' s dreams as veritable truth and, in fact, Gods Country
 It is a joy to see big, fine picture like this one; there is suggestion of clap-trap or make believe; everything is very real, very true, very wonderful.

Nell Shipman, as Josephine (tLAnge'O
 was splendid actress; the dramatics of
 the character called for another Bern-
 girl answered the roll call most clev- erly; another characterization that ap-
 pea1ed to me very insistently was Edgar
 Keller's Jean Croisset. In MT. Cur
 woods novel, Jean was very lovable.
 His loyalty at all times to Josephine, the stout heart of the half breed, with all of it's superStitionS and courage, marked him as an unusual character. If most people are like I am, they are
 usually disappointed in dramati tized or picturized affairs from their favorite novels. I remember when I went to see "Quo Vadis,' l had visions of seeing the most marvellous looking giant taking the part of Ursus or Drusus-or whatever his name was, and when a little tiny bit of a near-man came running out on the stage, nearly collapsed; couldn't stand to see my adored ideals knocked silly like that.
 But in MT. Curwoods novel, God s Country and the Woman you like the picture even better than the book; there is some marvellous photoplay; the initial views of the mountain peaks and the great basins of water, the mammoth trees of the snowy northwest, are triumphs of the film in reproduction of exquisite scenery.
 The glimpses of the Canadian forests are many and varied; each beautiful and each well photographed.

Sulphur for Bedbugs


 twill you kindly tell good way for getting rid of bedbugs? Do you consider the burning of sulphur as effective? If so, how do you use it? Is it necessary to remove wearing apparel from the closets?" c. H. B.
 The sulphur treatment is highly com mended by an excellent authority. Ac- cording to her. a pound of flowers of sul- phur is put into a metal vessel-a shallow bake pan will do. Upon this is poured a quart of alcohol. The pan is set upon platform of bricks and a sheet of zinc laid under the bricks I should have said that the room is swept and dusted well first of all, and the sweepings burned. You need not remove the cloth ing, but the fumes darken metal. Then the windows are closed and the sulphur is ignited. Shut the room up closely and do not open for five or six hours. My authority assures me that not bug es- capes the effect of the fumigating. She adds that 1t is well to try the 'cure" just before repapering and painting in the spring, that the walls may get the full benefit of it. There are dozens of other ways Gall warrantedD of clearing the premises of the loathsome 'cimex

real snow storm in which the actors are pictured both on a wide sheet of wa ter and in the woods, is an excellent piece of work, aiding materially in the effect of realism; moreover, there are numerous scenes of dashes by dog sleds across the deep snow, and many pie ture well tinted of canoes gliding grace fully down stream in the early gray toned dawn.
 There's tremendously impressive knowledge shown of dramatic values in the staging of the attack on The Devils Nest' and the rescue of the heroine; in fact, the whole picture is stunning and quite worth while.
