The producer. George Loane Tucker
has a wonderful thought message to
convey-in its presence all apathy and
indifference vanish like night clouds
before the morning light. AS a mas
terly exposition of questions that have
torn humanity throughout the ages it
stands supreme.
II is a tremendous subject, handled
in a manner that is simple to compre-
bend and fit for old and young. AL
most magic is its swift transition
from red-blooded drama to melting
pathos-and back again.
In Il Believe" a great theme is
handled without "preachiness" or in
trusive moralizing. The intelligence
of the audience is left to pronounce
the verdict. Neither religious nor ir-
religious, the truth is demonstrated
upon the appeal of its merits
The cast in Il Believe" is excellent
and will hold an audience from start

PRESIDENT WILSON
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

When Senator "Gumshoe" Stone,
who has long been consistent handi-
cap upon administration war plans,
pretends to come to their support and
defense through an ultra-partisan and
abusive speech on the floor of the
senate, it is high time to look for a
Iarge-sized African in the Senator's
woodpile.
Perhaps consideration of another
recent senatorial development may
assist the search: Cheap Legislators
have long striven to make men NOR
al by statute, and now comes Senator
Chamberlain and his clique with an
attempt to furnish brains and admin
istrative ability in the same way. That
any bill could be passed that propos
ed to discredit and embarrass the
President and his cabinet at a time
like the present by submerging them
under and subordinating them to
congressional committee of three, or
any other number. would seem alb
surdly improbable. Such a result can
only be accomplished by a substan-
TALLY solid opposition vote, supple
mented by the votes of a number of
recalcitrant Democrats
II should be borne in mind that, so
far as administration war measures
are concerned, no partisan nor fac
tious criticism or opposition has been
offered by the Republicans in con-
gress Such an attitude is only what
should be expected from any men who
put patriotism above party; but if
persisted in there would certainly be
small chance to secure the passage OF
any act so radically subversive OF
constitutional governmental methods
as to place the President and his war
and navy ministers under more or
less hostile guardianship
1t is under these circumstances and
conditions that Senator Stone, over the
protest of numerous better Democrats
than himself. on Monday delivered an
ill-timed and ill-tempered speech
filled with partisan rancor and bitter
ness.
In New York, on Saturday, Senator
Chamberlain, the father of the bill to
put the President in leading strings
had characterized the administration
as inactive and ineffective" Or
