Even Jerusalem Had
It's Liberal Spenders

There were wine openers and lib
eral spenders even in old Jerusalem,
If one may judge by the striking
character of the sea captain in THE
Wanderer" at the Orpheum this ev-
ening, Saturday matinee and Satur-
day evening. This picturesque fig
ure of the sea captain is one of the
most novel conceptions evolved by
any dramatist in recent years. He
appears in the second act of the
play, showing the revels Of the idol
aters, where Jether, the shepherd
boy from the hills Of Hebron, is
squandering his last shekeI in q
vain effort to retain the love of
Tisha, the attractive siren who has
lured him on to sacrifice everything.
AS Jether's fortunes wane, the great
sea captain appears on the scene as
rival for the affections OF Tisha.
The sea captain is played by Chas
Dalton, the English Giant, who came
to this country to appear in Cali
ban" He is six feet six inches tall,
and weighs over 300 lbs. He is de-
scribed as Pharis, g. Tyrrian sea cap
tain Of enormous wealth. When this
giant appears at the house of Nadina
he pauses upon the steps and scat
tiers gold pieces in every direction
among the forty or more young la
dies who frequent the house Of Ma
dina.
Then comes a great scene, where
| Tisha dances before him in an eff
fort to arouse his love. Nadina, the
mother, whispers to her daughter:
Waste not thy time with this fool
Jether, Pharis, the sea captain for
each kiss will give thee an emerald

Yamk Fighters
Best On Earth

Washington, Aug. 23.-Represen-
tative George M. Young of North
Dakota has just returned from the
western front. He is proud beyond
measure Of the American soldiers
and insists that no compromise
peace ever should be accepted.
II have never been so proud as
now of our boys in khaki and our
boys in blue" said Mr.. Young. "They
are without doubt the best fighters
on earth. Their courage, enthusiasm
and eagerness to throw themselves
into the battle line revived the
dropping spirits Of our allies who
were greatly worn by the long strain
Of war. W.,
Let no one worry about the
morals Of our boys. Criticism in
that direction should cease. They
are more than maintaining Ameri-
can standards of temperance and
morality. Any one who says other
wise is giving expression to lies as
black as hades. Witness the very
low death rate from disease in the
army. Only two per thousand
against six per thousand in civil life
Of men within the draft age. .... ~,
"Of all the agencies designed to
add to the happiness and Increase
the morale OF our soldiers and sail
ors, the movies take first place.
There is no question about Il. I
heard it on every hand in France.
IF our people at home have the
same feeling as our splendid boys at
the front there will be no premature
peace. No compromise peace should
ever be accepted. We should stand
resoiute for an American peace based
upon American conceptions Of jus
tice, freedom and liberty. Otherwise
millions of men in France, Britain
Italy and our own dear country will
have shed their blood in vain"

Liberty Offers Exciting

Suppose you were a fugitive from

assumed character, you married a
sweet young thing who had lived in
the country all her life.
And then, when you took her to
the city in order to clear your name,
for her sake now as well as your
own, you should overhear your little
innocent wife declare to your law
yer, in whom you had the utmost
confidence, that she had married you
for the money the dead uncle had
left and that she would divide it
with the lawyer If he would de-
