BIG PROGRAM
AT COLONIAL

That big motion picture program
presented at the Colonial theatre yes
terday packed the house. It is safe
that its repetition will see more big
audiences today, for without any ex-
ception it is one of the finest offerings
ever given at the cozy house.
William Farnum scored again and
scored big when he appeared in THE
Last Of the Duanes," perturbation
,of Zane Grey's great novel. This
William Fox production is the best
Western picture ever seen here. In
addition to having a strongly sympa-
thetic love story running throughout
the drama. Mr.. Farnum's imperson-
alton Of Buck Duane is peculiarly
vivid. It is difficult to realize that
any man could escape serious injury
in the many things that the star has
to do in this picture.
Briefly. the story tells OF Buck D,,.

Epigrams By Samuel Gon,pers.

The judiciary looks backward for authority,
not forward -::
Real freedom, which consists in specific
rights to do things, is the potent force that has
brought the human race to it's present state of
progress and development. 49,.
A worker cannot be part human and part
thing; part free and part unfree. If he is
free human being that which is inseparable
from his personality, which is part Of his flesh
and blood and nerve force, cannot be classified
as property. Employers may own plows, ma
chines shove1s, hammers but they do not own
the labor of any free man. Labor is the ere:
alive force, the highest expression of indi-
viduality: !.

!. Lodge Four Years Ago.

IT, may seem UtOplan at this moment to
suggest a union of civilized nations in order to
put a controlling force behind the maintenance
OF peace and international orders. but it is
through the aspiration for perfection, THROUGH
the search For Utopias, that the real-advances
have been made.'
Would not:the man in the street identify
this language at once as the language of the
dreamer Of the White House? But it isn't.
It as sentence, we are informed by the New
York Evening Post, from commencement
address delivered at Union University. June
., 1915, by a speaker who was described as
The Honorable Henry Cabot Lodge, senior
United States Senator from the State of Mas
sachusetts. -
It is not the only sentence Of tie sort in the
address, "Nations must unite as men unite. y
declared the distinguished speaker, Gin order
to preserve peace and order'' The senator
was lqsistent~ upon the point: The great ma
lions" he went on ''must be so united as to
be able: to say to any single country you
must not go to war; and they can only say
that effectively when the country desiring war
knows that the force which the united nations
place behind peace is irresistible'' He did
not pretend that the idea>of a union Of nations
to preserve peace could have plain sailing.
"No one is more conscious than of the
enormous difficulties which beset such solu-
ton or such scheme, but am certain that it
is in this direction alone that we can find hope
for the maintenance of the worlds peace and
the avoidance of 'wars''
He added: Even if we could establish
such union of nations, there might be some
wars which could not be avoided, but there
are certainly many which might be prevented.''
This seems like judicial view. Nor did it
occur to the senator that the possibility Of
some wars was reason for our staying out
of his proposed union and leaving the rest Of
the world to burst into flame again without
our having the right to interpose before it was
too late.
When public man lays down course of
action as based upon principles, and later ad-
vocates different course without repudiating
his principles people are not to be blamed if
they ask him what are his real notions.

Equality of Opportunity.

No man ever ruled other men for their own
good; no man was ever rightly called the mas
ter Of the minds and bodies of his brothers;
no man ever ruled other men except for their
undolng and for his own decentralization.
The possession of power over others is in
herently destruetive-both in the possessor of
the power and to those over whom it is exer-
cised. And the great man Of the future, in
distinction from the great man Of the past, is
he who will seek to create power in the peo-
pies and not gain power. over them.
The great man Of the future will refuse to
be great in the historic sense he will literally
lose himself, will diffuse himself in the life Of
All that any man clothed with power can
do for people, all that man can do for
another, is to set the man or the people free.
Our WORDSWORTH we do goods to open to
men the gates of life, to lift up the heavenly
doors Of opportunity.
This applies to society as we'll as to the in
dividual man: If collective man will release
the individual man and let him co. then the
individual will give himself gloriously, in the
fullness of his strength, unto the society that
sets the gates and highways of opportunity
before him.

The Dawn of a New Era.

Side by side with echoes of the horrors of
international war, and which sorely tried
mems and women's minds there came in gen.
eral evidence to public attention the loyalty
and fealty Of organized labor to the allied and
home governments For several decades prior
to the rape Of Belgium, by Prussian militar-
lists, the activities of organized labor not then
being pltted against an awful international
holocaust, were too often viewed by the dear
public as being unlawful interference with al
legged sacred property rights
10 them meeting of organized workers
was dangerous, and strike was rebellion,
while unsympathetic striking was both con-
spiracy and criminal Yet the self-sam pub
lie mind applauded the action of the United
States government in sympathetically striking
with the Cubans against Spain, even with
the foreknowledge that the sending of the S.
S. Maine closely into Cuban (Spanish) waters
was but the customary chip Uncle Sans
shoulder, the knocking off of which, and
which actually took place, provided the causus
belli for perhaps the greatest sympathetic
strike known in history.
The recent turmoil in Europe gave the op-
portunity to the dear public to judge more
wisely and we'll of the great constructive
loyal and humanitarian purposes of the Amer
lean labor movement. So much so is this
fact that those who desired to meet and to
criticize returned to honor and to applaud
the great purposes for which the workers Of
our much loved country are organized.
1T is most fitting that Labor Day, 1919,
should be comnemorated not alone by organ
lied workers, but BY the public generally, as
the marking and the making Of a new era in
which the great humanitarian purposes of Or
ganized labor have become better understood,
merit the appreciation Of the citizenship gen.
orally, and stand out in bold relief in loyalty
to the honored traditions of our country,
young among nations, but experienced by
judgment and desire for freedom and fair
play.
All hail, Labor Day, 1919; may"i it be SYM

Morgan's Silent Signal Code.

The late j. Pierpont Morgan had code of
signals for the guidance Of his complaisant
directors, according to the testimony Of Charles
W. Morse in recent trial at Newark, N. j.
Morse had offered $13;000000 for certain
steamships owned by the New Haven road.
The kindly Pierpont offered to assist Morse,
though Mellen wanted 100000 for the
property. AfterHthe directors meeting Morse
found he had been turned down and asked
Mellen why Mr.. Morgan's wishes had not been

the matter before the : meeting endorsed he
sits at my right. If he does not want it en-
dorsed he sits at my left. When the matter
of turning the steamship lines over to you
came up, Morgan sat at my left hand"
This silent. method Of disposing of trouble
some questions without going on record re-
minds one of the system of giving recommen-
dations adopted by certain railroads, as testi-
fed to in blackQisting case. Crane linen
paper is very popular with railroads. One
grade is watermarked with an upright crane,
another bears the figure of a crane with his
head touching the ground. When a discharged
employee asked for letter of Recommended
ton he was unhesitatingly accommodated. The
prospective employer held the letter up to the
light. If the crane was upright, so supposed
ly, was the applicant for a job. If the crane
was turned down, so also was the job-seeker.
And it was all done in the gentlest and most
urbane manner " ~.---

For Democracy's Betterment.

The world war has closed with great prob
lens left unsolved. The war issue to make
the world safe for democracy has been settled
We now face the issue Of making democracy
something real, and not dream: The great
work to be performed by. union labor is to
extend organization.
Democracy without organization may be
misled or may use bad Judgment In fact the
wage workers that are not in the unions where
they belong are far more certain to go wrong
than to go right We must therefore take ad-
vantage Of existing opportunities to extend
our union strength and prevent revolution by
force
The gates of opportunity are widely ajar.
Shall we 60 through and toward justice for
all, or shall we close the gates and thereby
extend and increase the chance of failure in
the great work Of world read justment?
Organization of trade unions is the real issue
and upon it's success depends the future well
fare of our great nation
