For genuinely delicious humor and
timely interest, announcement is made
that Mary Pickford's newest photo
play, Johanna nElists," screen adap
tation of Rupert Hughes successful
story, "The Mobilization of Johanna,
which will be shown at the Warfield
Theatre next Tuesday. is perhaps the
most pleasing offering Of the season
and in many respects one of the most
novel and delightful vehicles ever pro-
vided for this fine cinema star.
Miss Pickford has a charming role
in this picture. 1t is said to be quite
different from any she has essayed
heretofore. She is freckled country
girl with a highly romantic turn of
mind and when she decides to take
a milk bath to improve her beauty,
Developments occur. A
Jealous soldier and his rival, an officer,
provide the situation which ends in an
insult, court-martial, and the ap-
pearance of the hero on the scene. OF
course, the final is happy for all con-
cerned.. Miss Pickford is splendidly
supported by a cast of pick players. her
leading man being Douglas MacLean.

Charlie Murray and Bert Roach are

ness which might have hugely success
full had the parteners paid more atten-
tion to it than to other peoples bust
ness. Charles weakness for pretty
women gets him into trouble and then
more trouble, so that his life becomes
one continuous whirl VT castrophes.
Bert is philanthroptist and his ideas
keep him from pinning his mind down
to- pickles, other than those he gets
himself into.
Marie Provost is pretty manicurist
who manages to complicate the action
considerably. In fact, it is hardly like
ly that any other manicurist in the
universe ever stirred up SO much ex-
citement as follows whenever she
waves her pretty hands in the vicinity
of Charlie and Bert.
When Phyllis, the wife of Bert, who
is jealous, gets into action and seeks to
evolve certain mysteries, there is some
thing doing every minute. She does
some strange detective work which
would put a Pinkerton man to the
blush, and the fun becomes fast and
ravelled the comedy will show when
it is displayed at the Warfield Theatre

Turn on the Light
[From the Fourth Estate.


Under the heading Nursing Il
Reptile Press" the New York
World recently published an editor
ial that certainly should stir all law
abiding persons to the point of de-
manding a show down of these
sleek. well-fed individuals who deal
in slime and filth. and who hope,
under the cover of ananymity, to
use the anarchistic press to aid in
dragging the Government of the
United States down into the mire
of Bolshevism.
We have laws especially intended
TO prevent persons from remaining
unknown while doing such things,
Let us enforce these laws to the last
letter, to the end that the printing
press shall not be used in this coun-
try against the forces of law and
order.
The World says on this matter:
"Of the anarchistic publications in
this city, most of them in foreign
languages, the state authorities
claim to have proof that about
twenty-five are kept alive by the
subsidies of one hundred or more
men and women of the parlor Boil
shevik type and a few wealthy men
and women against whom there
previously had been no suspicion of
radical tendencies 1t is promised
that the list will be made public
soon.
Accepting the truth of this state
ment, the guilt of the conductors ar
such organs of violence and plunder
may not be confined to their preach
ments.
A few enacted by Congress in
1872 and fully sustained by the Su-
preme Court in 1913 requires semi
annual sworn statements from the
publishers of all newspapers and
periodicals, giving the names of edi-
tors, owners, stockholders and bond
holders.
Possibly these patrons of anarchy
think they do not figure in any OF
the capacities mentioned. being
only contributing editors. so to
speak. but failure TO name them
constitutes at least violation of
the spirit of the act. If their money
does in fact keep the lawless press
alive. they are more accurately to
be described as its owners than
the agitators who thrive on their
bounty.
On pain or fine and imprison-
ment, Government forbids secrecy
as TO the ownership and financial
obligations of newspapers. policy
to which no honest journal or peri
odical can object certainly ought TO
be serviceable in the cases of pub
lications blatantly devoted to Tevo-
luton by force and pillage.
We should have the names of all
such benefactors of Bolshevism-
first. for wholesome publicity. and
secondly. for such responsibility
under violated law as the courts
shall determine.

"Hom Long, oh Lord?'
IIIarvey's weekly.l

Congress, we are told. is planning
10 enact an '.anti-R Red" law during
its next session.
Evidence has long been before it
that the great strikes which have
disturbed industry and menaced the
prosperity and welfare of the Nation
were largely due to the machina-
tions of alien conspirators and their
American allies. who aimed through
such means ultimately to overthrow
the Government of the United States.
A fortnight ago, four former soldiers
of the United States army. returned
from the great war. were publicly
assassinated as the result of con-
spiracy promoted by alien revolution
lists seeking to provoke a revolution
here. Twice within the year, plots
have been discovered for precipitat-
ing a reign of terror by widespread
and simultaneous bomb outrages
and murders.
And Congress-, we are told, is
thinking of .enacting an Red
Law sometime next session.

The VdgdbOndS Return

From the Manchester Guardian.
The tramp disappeared during
the war. but statistics are now pub
lished proving that he is coming
back. Harsh critics will no doubt
find in this another nail TO drive
into the coffin of our new ideals of
reconstruction. But the tramp is
not wholly the result of short-com-
ings in our industrial orga niZation;
often he is the outcome of an in
eradicable trait in human nature.
The tramp has always been with
us. His vocation. or rather his lack
of one. is in many instances simply
the expression OF the wanderlust.
The tramp is often one whose rest
less spirit would find settled spot
and job in life impossibly irksome.
And though the sociologists argue
with justice that the tramp is
drag on the economic life of a COM
munity. in other ages the tramp. by
nature found plenty of scope to do
the state some service. venturing on
uncharted seas, following in the
train of crusades. He did not miss
his chance in the war. and now
there is nothing for him but the
road.

Roosevelt and Japan

In an article written several
months before his death and which
has just been published, Theodore
Roosevelt said
There is not time in this message
10 discuss fully our proper relations
to Japan; | have set forth as | see
them-and as | zee our proper posi-
ton as regards all our international
relations-in my book, Fear God
and Take Your own Part" But
there is always time to point out the
elemental fact that this country
should feel for Japan a peculiar ed
miration and respect. and that one
of the cardinal principles of our for
eign policy should be to secure and
retain her friendship, respect and
good will. There is not the slightest
real or necessary conflict of interest
between the United States and
Japan in the Pacific: her interest is
in Asia, ours in America; neither has
any desire or excuse for acquiring
territory in the other continent.
Japan is playing n great part in the
civilized world; a good understand
ing between her and the United
States is essential to international
progress and it is n grave offense
against the United States for any
man by word or deed to jeopardiZe
this good understanding"
The case has been put in a nut
shell in Niscount Ishii's eloquent and
appealing address at Fair Haven
Mass. on July A, which he closed
with these words:
We trust you, we love YOU. and
if you will let us, we III walk at
your, side in loyal go -a-fellowship
down all the coming years"
All good Americans should act to-
ward Japan in precisely the spirit
shown toward America by this able
and eloquent Japanese statesman.
