EYES ARE OPENED
American Public Realizing DAN
ger of Radicals, Dean Says.
Topeka Lawyer-SOldier Speaks
Before Rotary Club Today.

Declaring that the eyes of the
American public were at last open to
the dangers of the evident present
tendencies of organized labor" in a
spirited talk before the Rotary club at
the Chamber of Commerce today. Col.
John S. Dean stated that the convic-
ton was growing among thinking men
that the fight was not so much for
higher wages and shorter hours as it
was the outcropping of the ideas of
radical leadership tending to revolu-
ton and the disruption of the govern
ment
Colonel Dean pointed out that the
ideas of the radical labor leaders in
this country were essentially the same
as those propagated in the European
hotbeds of anarchy and revolution"
Illustrative of this, and of the further
declaration that their following is
largely among the foreign element, he
said that 80 per cent of the striking
miners were foreigners. He men
toned investigations in England dis
closing the fact that labor was not
alone striving for higher wages and
shorter hours but was attempting to
make demands so great that capital
could not meet them and would be
forced to lay down the job.
Strikes for Prestige.
Colonel Dean asserted that the re-
cent labor strikes, mostly character
| lied by their disregard of human life
thruout the country despite their con-
nection with the conflicting interests
| indicated the mental attitude of men
who would thus place the lives OF
millions of persons in danger in order
to gain a little prestige for them
| selves
| efforts of Governor Allen, whom he
pictured as the only executive who
saw the real danger, the danger back
of the apparent danger of being frozen
out with courage enough to take an
action, the success of which would
have its apparent value.

FOX'S THE.ATER,

Madame Traverse, in the thrillin g drama, "Snares of Paris opened at FOXS theater today. The story is wonderfully told and photographed. It reveals how the wife of a French diplomat nearly wrecked the ship of him a girlhood indiscretion. It is the story of mother with a past. The magnetic personality of Madame Traverse makes her superb in the emotional scenes in this absorbing drama. Comedy, news and travel reels are also shown
 The vaudeville program is one of variety. "The New Teacher,' a com edy schoolroom act, is the best of it's kind. Gene and Jack offer an act of clever novelty contortions with rapid and pleasing action. Rose Miller doing a single act, gives a good se1ec- tion of popular songs. Brown and Crumbley are colored comedians of high calibre and keep the audience in continual mirth.
 Pearl White, the queen of all serial stars and one of the most noted of all moving picture actresses, will be at Fox's theater next week, Thursday Friday and Saturday, in her latest and greatest serial, ''The Black Secret" from the story by Robert w. Chambers.
