GLENDALE. Dec. 25.-The follow ing is taken from the Glendale News:
 From the. time the people of Glen dale and the northern part of Mari copa county adopted a policy some time ago which they believed might lead to the construction of better roads in this district and secure for the people those things which they gre rightfully entitled to have, there has been a persistent effort on the part of some individuals in various quarters to obscure the real issue in an attempt to convey t<e idea that we are playing politics and to make use of a vulgar expression. the Glen zale district commercial cub has been made the goat

We care not dale are republican roads or demo- cratic roads, or socialistic roads. just so long as these roads are good roads.
 Relieving that the time is oppor- tune for a definite public declaration of the attitude of the people in this district, the Glendale News asked Raymond Dyas, secretary of the club, for statement setting forth this at titude as he has found it as he came in contact with the people of the<Glen- dale district. This he has done. and we believe that his interpretations of the minds of the people are correct.

"outcast. of Poker Flat"

If ever there was a man before the camera fully qualified to bring to life the leading character in Bret Harte's beloved story of the early west, The Outcasts of Poker Flat" Harry Carey is that man. -h=s is the star and at traction which awaits the patrons of the Hip for today and tomorrow.
 Bret Harte's works occupy a most exalted place in American literature. Theregis an understanding of the sub- ject of whichfhe writes always present to remarkable degree in all his nov els; he is a past master of literature and a thorough student of the primi- tive conditions and environment which surrounded the pioneers who braved thedangers of the days of 1S49. Par ticularly appealing is -Th3 Outcasts of Poker Flat" which takes for it's lead ing character gentleman gambler, whose loneliness caused him to adopt the boy who was to afterward be the cause of the most noble sacrifice a man could make, the giving up of the girl he loves that his adopted boy might be made happy in his' love for her, for it happens in>>this story that the boy and his adopted father love the same girl. True, there is a wide difference in the ages of the girl and the elder lover and this is the guiding influence which persuades him to step aside that the call of youth to youth might turn an absorbing romance into an undying love.
 Harry Carey scores heavily in this drama. It is a motion picture that all lovers Of Harte's works, and they are legion should not miss.
 The Christie comedy is the augment ing feature.

Irene Castle at Lamara.

irene O38Ste 3I I0m0T0s
 Ierne Castle in the Paramount-Ar craft special presentation of Robert w. Chambers powerful novel of society screen at the Lamara. The picture is a gem not only for the strength of the plot but for the beauty of the pho tography and settings. It is for the most part photographed at Palm Beach. Florida, weaving it's story midst the most exclusive set of that fashionable resort, and then gracefully swinging to New York and the 400," finishing in the smart hunting lodge district of the Adirondacks. It tells of young girl, secretly married to a. society member, a marriage made solely for the social position it assured the bride, and then of her struggle against the love she bears for another man; of the hope lessness of the tangle, and of the strange trick of fate whicL brought happiness to everyone concerned.
 Irene Castle displays during the un- folding of the story the most gorgeous array of gowns ever shown in mo- ton picture. Her title of being the best dressed woman in America is amply Justified sn the wardrobe she uses in this production. which also gives her onwderful opportunity for demonstrating her art in dancing, for this star is recognized universally as the greatest exponent of modern danc- ing living.
 An actress of the most accomplished school. her talents are all brought into play during the action of this widely read story of Chambers, which marks distinct triumph in motion pictures.

"Are You Fit to Marry3"

"Aro You Ftt to Morry1 Are You Fit to Marry?' written by Jack Lait. Is the film play which will be offered patrons of the Columbia theater on Sunday, Monday and Tues day.
 Statistics gathered by the war de- partment have shown that of the more than 100000 soldiers fighting un- were suffering at the time of their en- were sufferinf at the time of their en- listment from some sort of communi- cable social disease. The film which will be shown at the Columbit illus trates what may be expected If the moral and physical standards of the nation are not raised.
 The famous Bollinger baby case or five years ago is the base of the story, |.rnost people being able to recall the circumstances surrounding the refusal of Dr. Harry !. Haiselden. Chicago physician, to allow a deforrned child to live because of the dain it's misfor- tune would inevitably have on the parents and on society.
 Dr. Haiselden himself plays the leading uDle in the picture, which can be classed with the Damaged Goods" of Eugene Breeux. as one of the strong est and most effective problem plays
 of this particular sort ever written. Solemn is it's warning against the ul- innate fate which awaits the nation if standards are not varied.

PALATkA NEWS ON TRAMMEL.

Among the state papers which taking issue with
Senator Park Trammel, and his position on the
treaty, is the Palatka News which in a scath-
ing editorial characterizes his explanations as to
his vote "placidly politic.' The Palatka News
says: He aided by his vote, a. band political
bush-wackers He feared of those who
wrote the treaty might not understand it, and he,
Senator Park Trammel, and others of that dema-
gogue class, wanted 'interpretative reservations
made so that Europe would understand how we un-
derstood it Under the cloak OF pseudo-.Ameri-
canism, loyalty to allies in the boodiest bat
tie ever fought for freedom was assassinated
The wheels of industry, the channels of trade the
rnainsprings of finance, have waited word from opu-
lent altruistic America to business at full
speed. Now they struck with deadly paralysis
at the lght-hearted manner in which our most au-
gust chamber tears up the work Of six months in
Paris and then gay adjourns.
ITO quote his own words Senator TrammeI starts
his explanation by saying practically all of the
democrats had previously voted in favor certain
reservations which would make plain the intention
of the United States And again again he cites
the views of others the senate. and not his own
