play.
Once NOR" II m"vi" company has
sought story for the films from the
material found in II novel. and the read
ers of this tale of the West will no
doubt delight in seeing their favorite
characters depicted by shadow actors on
the screen. This authors works have
been successful because Of their under
standing of the life of the people who
are called typical wcSterners.
If the fans who wrote letters to the
editor asking when William Farnum
would again appear as fighting hero
will go to see this play they will be
repaid By finding their hero i'll the place
where he just naturally lickS everybody.
There is plenty of action. which deals
with the round up of n gang of bad men
by the ranger. while the love of interest
is injected in order that the hero may
be better liked by the matinee girls.
William Farnum gave good account
of himself aS the stalwart hero. and
the girl in the case was portrayed by
Louise Lovely. who has been seen as
a star in some plays. &. Raymond

son. Directed by Herbert Blanche from d
story by Wallace Irwin. Metro picture.
The Saturday Evening Post has prob
ably supplied more stories for the
movies. in Legitimate way. than has
any other source of material. This
play by an author of drol humor. is
founded upon the BolSheviki ideas
found in private homes. Its treatment
of the timely subject is done in man
ner' that will amuse.
The fun is made manifest i'll the way
the author and director have contrived
TO bring out the ideas of the "Bull-
shcviki" as they are called in the cap
tions. 4 stenographer believes she is
Il victim of the capitalStic run of
things and quits her position to take
up her abode with some friends who
make her believe that she is comrade
while all the time she has to stay
around the house and do the hard work.
The Steuographer is portrayed by
Miss Allison. whose sense Of the comic
is brought out at many points. There
is good character work shown by the
acting of Kathleen K"rrigan, Pell Tren-
ton. Howard Gaye and others.

Dor; larger worth to character; an
efficiency to business which reflects
in every worthy unit Of society. It
adds more,-an .idealism which won't
let the world get dingy nor permit
life to be drear and gray. 1t adds a
spirit of altruism which crowds out
selfishness and longs to labor because
labor is service. 1t adds new spir-
it to business, lifting it out Of the
mere channels of making money and
exalts it to the dignity Of service.
This spirit is not easily possessed.
Long, hard, persevering endeavors are
demanded and great sacrifices, too,
before this spirit can be lured into
any mans life. But think of the re-
ward All life becomes new, all SER
vice new, and a richer Joy and deeper
blessing comes to enrich the life
touched by this power. It's worth

way, it brings the glad consciousness
of work well done, life well lived,
which even adds richness to the very
joys Of Heaven.

The Rotarian Spirit.

We commemorate today the four
teenth anniversary Of the founding of
the Rotary club. Because this is such
an early anniversary there is temp
tation to speak Of this period as the
infancy Of Rotary. In the heart of
every loyal disciple there is an ear
nest hope that this organization will
survive che stress and wear Of the
years. That it's growth may in every
way be symmetrical, coming at length
to the powers and functions at matur-
ity, doubly glorifed by that idealism
and spirit which so beautifully char
acterizes the Rotary clubs Of today.
A clearer conception, perhaps, is gain
ed when we think Of the development
Of Rotary, as huge building in pro-
cess of construction. Only the foun-
dation has been laid but the very vast
ness, solidity and composition Of eter-
nal rock principles are but prophecy
Of the glorious superstructure which
coming centuries shall build. How
ever great and profound the founda-
ton principles may be, the genius Of
Rotary is not best discerned there.
These principles are the machinery
but the SPIRIT Of Rotary is the ener-
getie driving power in which Ultimate

DEATH OF REV. EUGENE HARRIS

Deep regret will be widely felt at the
news that Rev. Eugene Harris has passed
away. He died in Seattle in the Minor
Hospital, on June 23rd, 1919, after an opera
ton for goitre Eugene Harris was born in
Nashville, Tennessee, November 18th, 1866
lie took the full college course in Fisk Uni
versity, at Nashville, and was graduated
therefrom. He then entered the theological
department Of Oberlin College, at Oberlin,
Ohio. After being graduated from that in
stltutlon he was appointed to a professor
ship in Fisk University, his Alma Mater,
where for a number Of years he taught in
the college department, and later filled
chair in the theological department. Upon
an examination of the Bible satisfactory to
himself, he joined the First Baptist Church
at Nashville and was ordained to the Baptist
ministry, after thorough examination in
which the colored and white Baptist pastors
of Nashville participated He came to
Seattle in 1898 as Baptist missionary. The
field did not hold out promise of a livelihood,
and it had to be given up. In the meantime
he had learned stenography and typewriting,
in which he became quite proficient. The
klondike gold discovery led to the formation
OF a multitude of corporations, partnerships
and syndicates in Seattle and to an urgent
demand for stenOgraphers. Answering adj
vertised wants, Mr.. Harris was everywhere
rejected because Of his color. Some friend
advised him to apply to John Arthur as a
man friendly to the colored people. He did
so and was at once employed. He remained
several years with Mr. Arthur. With the
latter's consent, approval and encourage
ment, he took the examination for the civil
service Of the United States; he passed very
creditably, and was assigned to duty as
stenographer and typewriter in the United
States Land Office at Walla Walla. In 1911
he resigned from that office and became the
court reporter for the counties of Adams
Franklin and Benton, residing at Ritzville
He studied law and was admitted to the
Bar, but he did not enter upon the prac-
tice, although it was his intention ultimately
to do so.
Mr.. Harris was gentleman of fine liter
airy culture and warm poetic temperament
Many of his poems obtained wide circulation
and won much praise. He was buried in
Portland, where Mrs. Harris relatives live
