THE CASE OF BOB WRIGHT.
rCednr Raplds Gazette.l


Editors all over the state have had
their say about the Bob Wright case
Bob Wright Is the son OF a district
Judge ut Fort Dodge. One night last
summer he assaulted a girl, and rev
DAYS later was arrested for his crime.
Then he and the girl were married. A
short time atterward someone set up
a great furore because young Wright
and his father the judge, mad eheatea
Justice. wife can not TESTIFY against
her husband Whoever made the COM
plant was determined to send BOD
Wright TO prison for his crime. MASS
meetings were held. The attorney
general of the state issued statement
as TO how vigorously he intended to
push the efforts to imprison virgin.
Demands were made on Judge Wright.
He was asked to resign. His RECORD as
a jurist is an enviable one. and he ola
not resign. Then his impeachment
was demanded. He was not impeach-
ed. The other day the grand jury IN
dicted the younger Wright.
Wright is not malicious man. He
Is a spoiled son. He may be wild, out
he Is not w!fully wicked. He has
ruined his own career. He never Will
be able to live down the publicity that
has been given his deed, his marriage,
his fathers family. He will suffer
f, punishment all his life. But there
seems to be certain individuals who
will not be content unless they put
him behind tho bars. They want 10
brand him. and, in branding him, they
will further brand his wife. She mas
said that she loves her husband, Will
stay by him thru his troubles. She Is
glad she is married. she says, because
she would rather be pointed out as Bob
Wrisht's wife than as girl Bob
Wright ruined.
Despite the fact that this case has
been given so much editorial publicity
il has not been so dealt with here, I'M
til now. This writer knows Bob
Wright, who was a member OF the ma
chine gun company in which he was n
non commiasioned officer. Wrights
avowed enemies are loud in their cries
about the life he led while at Camp
Cody. Have they investigated the
manner of, living Of any other Fort
Dodge men who were at Cody? There
is no wish 10 give Wright defense
which he does not deserve. There Is
merely a wish to give him the same
chance that man not the son Of Judge
Wright might have had.
In seat in the United States SEN
ate Is a man from Indiana whose son,
born out Of wedlock, Is on trial for
murder In California. A witness has
said there was another son, similarly
born. who died. That man Is Senator

and his unfortunate wife the only OPP

MANY SELLING

MRa Carriers of Rock Island Can

Agencies.

N. H Sexton, chairman for the
city of Rock Island in the thrift
stamp drive being carried on this
week. announced today that the
campaign started yesterday with
favorable results and that mer-
chants everywhere in the city are
enthusiastically taking up their
part in keeping a supply of stamps
to sell.
Yesterday and today postal car
riers canvassed the city on their
regular routes, selling stamps and
leaving supplies of them at various
places to be disposed of.
It is believed that 10000 new
agencies will be established in this
drive. Each one will have a window
decoration consisting of a distrnc-
tive window sign and a pictorial
news service.
The object of the campaign is to
promote the habit of thrift Secre-
tary of Treasury Glass though;
such drive superflous in the
years war savings campaigns.
However. it is being undertaken
aside from such campaigns in or

At the Majestic.

In "An Innocent Adventures" a
Paramount picture directed by
Robert VignolaN which will sbe pre-
scented at the Majestic theatre to-
night and Wednesday. it is said
that Vivian Martin scores an artis-
tic triumph in her characterization
of Indy" a sweet, unsophisticat-
ed little girl who has been brought
up never to commit a wrong or tell
lie. 1t is a delightful and is
handled by Miss Martin in charm
ing and artistic manner.
This girl was so innocent and IN
acquainted with the paths of crime
that she thought that she had COM
mitteL a felony when she merely
held up letter from a domineer-
ing landlady, addressed to a poor
family across the street who were
in desperate straits and which she
was certain was an order for "the
family to vacate the premises.
A delightful romance is woven
into the story and also a strong
dramatic situation which shows
how the simple innocence of this
little girl results in the regenera-
ton of a young man who had once

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying Zemo fur
nished by any druggist for Csc. Extra

moment Zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,

similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use Zemo,

At Rrotman's RiaIto.


THE Amazing Wife," which lie
today at the Rialto theatre, is that
rare thing. photoplay which
builds cumulative interest. In too
many pictures the interest is cpl
sodic, rising and falling as the &C
ton quickens and lags. But occas-
ionally there comes a drama IN
which attention is not centered
primarily on the incidents which
are being Immediately portrayed,
but on the end back of those Incl
dents. That end is in the specta-
tors mind from the first, and the
whole narrative builds toward 1t. 1t
is so with The Amazing Wife"
Once the scene is laid-once Cicely
Osborne takes the decisive step
which installs her as the widow"
of Lieutenant Ashton, killed in &C
ton, when really she is the widow
of another and ignoble John Ash
ton-interest mounts higher and
higher until the final solution OF
the problem is reached. One dan
ger point has been most skillfully
avoided. Lieutenant Ashton re-
turns. What happened after this
might~have been permitted to drift
into anti-climax But Ida May
Park, the director, has seen the
danger. The story is shunted ex-
pertly on into new complications
that hold interest to the end Mary
MacLaren adds to her reputation in
her portrayal of Cicely. always
nicely sustained. Frank Mayo is,
her leading man, and Mayo is al
ways the finished actor. Others in
the cast are Ethel Lynne, Stan
hope Wheatcroft, Seymour Zeiliff,
Molly Mcconnell, Clarissa Selwynn
and Joseph W. Girard. THE Amaz-
ing Wife" is based on a story by
Elinor Chip. adapted to the screen
