is THIS JUSTlCE?-When there
are a great many Of we people draw
ing above the average salary and we
know that there are so many people
just as worthy as we are drawing
less, then we should do some real
thinking. How do we spend this
money? Do we spend it with the
profit-mOngers? DOVE spend it for
high-priced luxuries that belong to
the idle rich? Do we buy more
clothes than we need when there are
many without clothes? Do we take
fine Ieisurely vacations when there
are pOorly-paid slaves that can't af-
ford a car ride except to work. Do
we donate to charity when we know
that in a country full of natural re-
sources there should be no need Of
chaTity?r
Do we know that the business sys-
TEN is at fault? Do we know that
to change it we must get together
and as fast as we can set up stores,
restaurants, meat markets, ETC., OF
our own and we must patrOnize our
own interests? Do we know that
this would serve as a manner to
change the business system of the
world? Do you know that it would
be impossible for idle capital to COM

that for the people to follow this sys-

you know why Ford pays living
wages to workers and can't you see
that this brings a different spirit and

Newspaper Economy

The passing of the Sioux City Daily News, after an
ineffective effort at reorganization is in line with the ten

elimination of inefficient competition. 1t is working out

If you see tall fellow ahead of a crowd,
A leader of men marching fearless and proud,
And you know of tale whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of skeleton hidden away
In a closet, and guarded and kept from: the day
In the dark; and whose showing, whose sudden dis
play,
Would cause grief and sorrow, and lifelong dismay

Of man, or woman, girl a boy,
That will wipe out smile the least way annoy
fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy

HAZEL DAWN AND
JOHN MASON ARE
WONDERFUL team

"The Fatal Card, the Paramount
feature offering at the Liberty theater
which closes tonight, smacks some
what of the melodramatic without ex-
hibiting the usual characteristics OF
blood and thunder. 1t is a melodrama,
donbly refined and produced by real
artists, including John Mason and Ha-
eel Dawn, two of the Famous Players
leading stars.
Mason has spent many years be-
fore the footlights and has established
a reputation exce1led by none. Hazel
Dawn, still a girl, also has earned a
reputation as a musical comedy queen.
In the films this pair are captivating
their audiences around the world.
Each has just about renounced the
legitimate for the newer and more
lucrative field.
The scenes in "The Fatal Card
show the West in the early days
when gamblers were still allowed TO
roam wild, and the East from stand
point of high society. The plot is a
good one, is well worked out, and pro-
yides an excellent vehicle for the CO
starring of Mason and Dawn.

now reached a stage where the ex-

J. Maida's Speech.
Mr.. Mazda spoke as follows:
! The saGreat Republic.p
Il always think that it is greai
thing to be q citizen Of the greatest
republic on earth.
The old world called their people
as subjects; that sounds to me some
thing not free, nor independent, but
in declaring myself as a citizen, fee
just as II | am my own sovereign, Just
as IL am my own self, free In think
ing and independent in action.
"A big future lies before us. and we
are pioneers, or rather, pilots of ouI
own destiny. We must do something
but If you want to do something, you
must be something before hand. What
must we try to be? Well, in the first
place, free and independent citizen
must be honest as was best exempli.
fled in the life Of honest Abe.
sTn the old world one is not al.
lowed to be honest, or course not
always. but sometimes.
In China there is a story that a
sycophant called stag horse, and
a horse stag, only because his mast
Ier wanted to be told so. And always
think that it is q great privilege of a
citizen; he is always allowed to be
honest, Is always free to speak the
truth and act accordingly. II one is
not honest, wish to say that he is
not absolutely entitled to be a citizen
of the United States; in the next
place, true citizen Of the United
States must not think himself as SUI
perior to any, but equal to any and
everybody, and the only sacrifice one
can claim is his own self-sacrifice
The history of the old world has
been stained with too much innocent
bloodshed because some one thought
that they were superior enough to de-
mand the sacrifice of others to crafty
their selfish ambition.
Al Men Born EquaI7
II don't know whether 1t is seien.
tificaily true to say that all men are
born equal, but from the viewpoint Of
citizens morality, ! am firmly con-
WINGED that we are equal, and as such,
can't ask in any way the sacrifice
of others for our own purpose, and
that the only sacrifice we can demand
is self-sacrifioe.
Il think can add many things to
these, but sufficient to say this time
that am citizen of the greatest re-
public on earth, who enjoys the priyi-
iege of being thoroughly honest, with
bit of ambition to make his own sell
sacrifice when occasion calls for it.

for your kind endeavor to enlighten
us to be efficient, intelligent and
