ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL
Article by A v. (. P. Huizinga ir
 The Open Court"

In the June number of The Open Court" Mr. Huizinga of Thompson in an article on "All men are created equal" treats in detail the preamble of the Declaration eff Independence. He shows that it means what 1t says, and not. as Is often believed. that all men are created equal before the law.
 On page S46 Mir. Hgizinga alludes to the constitution of Connecticut as follows:
 The constitution of the United Colonies of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfeld. drawn up in 1889, was based already on the sovereignty of the people Thomas Hooker preached the year before a sermon in Hartford in which he declared that the choice of public magistrates belongs unto the people by Gods allowance that the people have power to set bounds and limitations of the power and ulace unto which they call them. - (Coll.

RradIex Theatre

When Count Leo Tolstoy wrote Resurrection he exposed phases of social and political life in Russia, which have cursed the people of that country for centuries. The story of Resurrection" is that of beautiful girl of low origin who is betrayed by a Prince and who. through chapter of accidents. finally Is condemned to imprisonment in Siberia for the com mission of crime of which she is in- nocent.
 In this role Pauline Frederick adds new characterization to her long list of dramatic triumphs. The photogra- phy in this picture is remarkable. many of the Siberian scenes having haen taken on the big golf links at Mineola, Long Island. which. owing to the severe weather that gripped the East last winter. proved an admirable replica of the frozen wastes described by Tolstoy in his novel
 "Resurrection" will be presented at the Bradley theatre next Monday, and 1t should draw large business. Adv.

NEWSIES BECOMING LITTLE CHAPTERS Paper Boy Says "Everybody's Doin'
 It."

The present upward trend of prices and the inborn desire to make large profit if possible has reached the new sies Probably not all of the little financiers are praeticing high finance, but at least some of them are.
 This fact was impressed by reading statement in the Willimantic Chron- icle to the effect that the newsboys were selling the Chronicle at a cent advance, claiming that they had to pay that much more for the paper, which the Chronicle denies.
 In Putnam boys were seen selling papers to the soldiers on troop trains at a penny in advance of the regular price. A member of the exemption board and the captain of police spoke to tiny little fellow and told him he should not do it
 Why are you charging two cents for one cent paper?" he was asked.
 "Aw. go on." said the youngster. "Everybody's doin' it"
 To a certain extent the boy was right It is believed that in many cases where prices are advanced to | the consumer the advance is not war ranted by like advance to the last distributing agent. Prices have ad. vaneed and are continuing to advance so rapidly that everyone is in reeep- l tive frame of mind and expects to pay l more. When told that the price ha: l advanced there is never a word o1 protest, but the money Is paid ovel cheerfully. The dealer reminds ont that Tt is war times" and then tack, on an extra per cent for the warning and for the greater reason--he knows he can get it. How to meet this situ ation is s problem. Of course thsr' are many legitimate advances. bu there are also, 1t IS felt. many advanc es. like that of the newsies, that arr not warranted. aside from the fac that "Everybody's doin' it," which i no warrant at all either legally O morally.
