I know, from their dealings with me and from their repu- tations among their neighbors. that a vast majority of them want to be square: intend to be square; are square. If any way could be shown us in which the rapscallion minority could be effectively reformed or lawfully drowned, we should be glad to put it in practice, without asking the help of any outsiders!

 As a farmer myself, I'm trying to make all my fellow farmers see that it's a finer thing to be honest and manly than to make money.

 Col. Roosevelt was sometimes re- ferred to as the apostle of the Big Stick. Yet, when he talked about that armament. his invariable phrase was:

 One of my-more or less-good- natured critics thinks that I am not always quite fair in my defense of farmers. There are sometimes just grounds for complaint against them, she says. They don't always do exact ly as they agree. Occasionally their measures don't seem to hold as much as they should, in her opinion. Etc, etc. Do you really think all farmers are saints 2" she asks finally.
 No, ma'am- don't think all farmers are saints. I'll admit that much with out blink. Nay. I'll go farther and frankly own up that I never saw or heard of one single farmer who was a saint. With which confession I counter on her and ask her if she knows any other city consumer. besides herself, whom she considers a saint?
 Indeed saints. whether in town or country, are so extremely scarce. these degenerate modern days. that hens teeth may be considered quite common in comparison.

MIND OPEN
AS TO RETURN OF ROADS
Mr.. Tumulty Replies to Delegation
Which Calls to Urge Reten-
ton of Control.

Replying to a delegation of farm
ers and union labor officials who yes
terday called at the White House to
ask the President to retain control of
the railroads for two years, Secretary
Tumulty said the Presidents mind
was still open on the question of re-
turning the roads to private control.
The letter presented to President
Wilson through Secretary Tumulty
said IAN overwhelming majority of
the farmers. members of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. the railroad
brotherhoods, as well as the general
public" favored an extension of the
period of government operation of the
railroads for at least two years. in
order that a fair test might be made
of government operation and plan
worked out for the ultimate disposal
of the railroads which would be fair
to all interests involved. Continuing,
the letter said:
Director General Hines and MEM
bers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission have shown clearly that the
return of the railroads will involve
an increase in freight rates of close
to s1.0oo.ooo. 900. This increase in
ties. will be reflected in an increase
cost Of living of at least $4,000. 000.0 900
year, possibly $5.000.000,00 The
American people cannot and should
not stand such an increase.
I'VE respectfully request, Mr.. Pres
ident, on behalf Of the farmers. the
American Federation of Labor and the
railway brotherhoods, as well as the
general public, that You stop the ru-
mors that you plan to return the rail-
roads to private control, and that in
view of the changed conditions and
the prevalent Industrial unrest you

Is he? You sit on the porch in any

from Maine to California and wal,
for the man to come-and wait. and
wait.
They go blythe ones that you
would like-it is a free country: you
have your choice. But how are you
going to make that choice?

A little jazz now and then is rel

This is the assumption of the Gar

action last Sunday night when they
installed in the Garricl< Theater a
super-jazz orchestra under the lead
ership OF Bruce Healy.
Patrons of the theater this week
have been loud in their praises OF
the new musical program given them.
musicians available and the selec-
tions include the best of current pop
ular music. The orchestra will be
maintained throughout the season.
Another innovation introduced BY
the Garrick Players that is sure of
popularity are the photographs In
front of the Ciarrick Theater. I'm
mediately after each Sunday night S
performances fiashlight photos of the
best scenes in the play are taken on
the stage and on Monday evening
they appear in a frame in the front
of the theater. In this way the peo-
pie in the show can get a very def
mite idea of how their favorites will
| look in the current weeks bill.
The photos are made by John e.

be no doubt about this screen ver-
sion of Charles Klein's equally
famous THE Third Degree" being
superior to the earlier production. in

Few, indeed, have been the screen

have come through in pictorial form

Great credit is due Tom Terriss
