ENID BENNETT
 NEXT ATTRACTION AT THE COLISEUM.

A photoplay that entirely lives up to it's seductive title is Enid Ben. nett's next Paramount picture which is coming to the Coliseum next Tues day and Wednesday. Naughty, Naughty" as it's author. c. Gardner Sullivan calls it, is an appealing whimsical story of the struggle of q single girl to overcome the deep rooted prejudices and habits of a sleepy old-fashioned mid-western town and incidentally the prejudices of her charming, though old-fashiOned sweetheart. The epithet, ''Naughtq Naughty!" being so constantly ap- piled to charming Miss Bennett in the course of the action is what gives rise to the title The cast support ing Miss Bennett includes Earl Rod ney, Marjory Bennett, Gloria Hope, and Andrew Arbuckle. Jerome Storm was the director-under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Ince, the wellknown producer of Civilization" and others.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS, SALARIES.

 The governor explained "that req . sonable increases from time to time in the compensation of public officials is perfectly iustifable when these in- creases conform with increased duties or greater responsibilities or when they operate proportionstely with uu- aVoidable increases in the cost of liv- ing.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

What the authorities did at Bos- ton was simply measure of safety. The country at large will so regard it. If the real friends of woman suf- frage have any regard for their cause, they will refrain from mak- ing capital out of the stern repres- sion of their misguided champions at Standardization Times.
 It does not seem possible that the business situation in this country could long remain stagnant with a considerable contingent of unem- pioyed. There is plenty of business and work to be had. Our foreign ex- port trade alone is now almost as large per month as it was annually five years ago. The demand is strong and of course will be met, and the domestic demands are heavy and in sistent. If it were not for the stren- uous efforts to maintain war prices for labor and products and grain the problem would solve itself speedily.

On 1ne banks of the Thames, less than twenty miles from London there is an American town of the mushroom .1inG such as you might find in q new California oil field.

CALLING A SESSION OF CONGRESS

In view of the fact that there are important matters which should be acted upon by congress at as early a date as possible. the suggestion has been made that the 66th congress might call itself to order and proceed to do business without waiting to be president. It is a suggestion which has no precedent so far as known.
 It is stipulated according to the con- stitution that congress shall meet once every year and the first Monday Of December is fixed as the day for meet ing unless congress shall by law ap- point a different day" This over comes the necessity of making a ses- sion of congress dependent upon q cali from the executive but provision
