Owes All to Uncle Sam.

Building upon his past experience as
an employee in a shoe factory, the
federal board for vocational education
placed a young chap of "a, who was
disabled at scissors, in a shoe manu-,
featuring plant for training, His left
hand and arm were severely injured
by a high-eXplosive shell, but he finds
he can carry on, in spite of the handi.
cap, and is fast becoming an expert
shoe cutter. The management, finding
his service valuable, are paying him
81 a day-this, of course in addition
to his training pay, which comes from
the board. He is enthusiastic and
writes: This training is great stuff

In these days, Musical Comedies are
not supposed to haze much "plot" but
Come Along Mary, differs from the
usual run, in so much that it has q
plot that carries it's audience with il
to the end of the play. A wealthy
Captain, in Honolulu, who's married
life was not overly happy decided it
was best to marry for money only, SO
made a will leaving his entire fortune
to his Niece, Mary Brown, and to the
Son of friend of his, named William
Smith, providing they marry each
other. The Whereabouts of Mary
Brown was well known, but William
Smith being of rowing disposition,
Travelled from place to place and be-
came lost in the multitude of people
of the same name.
The task Of finding him was en-
trusted to one Prof. lchabod Sinlnl orls,
a noted Entomologist, who had for his
assistant, Rufus M. Washington,
gentleman Of color, and these two
characters furnish no end of amuse.
nlent during the course Of the play.
The search for the missing Smith"
leads them from the United States to
Honolulu, and comes near marrying
poor Mary off to an imposter, but
lucky for all, the real William Smith
arrives just in time to denounce his
false namesake, and claim his Mary.
This interesting play, with it's wealth
Of beautiful scenery and haunting mu-
sic will be the attraction at the Arcade
tonight.

But suppose that man wanted to settle down in Gads

GETTING THE CENTENNIAL.

Plans for having Palatka designated as the site for
the holding Of the exposition concentrating the Florida

whether or not Palatka can be designated.

put forth by the Business Mems Association will not
appeal but those who are constantly on the lookout
for something that will benefit the city the executive COM

Palatka of course, could finance the exposition
No city in Florida could not even jacksonville But it
never intended that any community should f.

preparation, and the Federal government will do least
much for the Florida purchase as it did for the Lous

days." as II the race Of heroes had per-
ished from the face Of the earth. 1t was
our sons and our brothers who won the
great war for democracy. We are so
close to them that we do not fully appre-
ciate what they have done, nor do we
value rightly the quality of the courage
and devotion which they displayed. And
the men themselves do not rightly value
it. They acted as a matter Of course.
What else could they have done? 1t
was almost instructive.
But therein is the sublimity Of the
whole great drama which has been en-
acted before our eyes in these recent
years. When an ideal has so permeated
the thinking of a nation that it reacts
to it with mechanical precision, some
thing has happened which should make
US all bow our heads in reverent awe be-
fore the Power that is guiding the affairs
of this round ball as it swirls through
illimitable space on a destiny the end of
which no man can dream.

OURSELVES AND HOME RULE

COME doubt about the Mayors right
~ to vote was expressed on Saturday
and tomorrow Senator Ware will have to
debate his right to that privilege in a
legal action instituted by the registrars
in his ward. Objection in each instance
was made upon the technicality of resi-
dental qualification. Some of US might
put it upon broader ground. But that
is aside.
Oddly enough, here at home we are
confronted by state of affairs that
should broaden our understanding of
some remote phases of the international
melee. Before the Great Reformation
comes in politics citizens of this harassed
town may learn a lot about the origin of
q rage that never has ceased to burn in
q green isle not far from England. The
Mayor bides with the landed gentry at
Elenside. Senator Ware rests his soul in
the peace of the Amber highlands from
years end to years end and comes to
town only to let the light of his coun-
tenance shine upon an obedient tenantry.
Lords of old did their manors the
honor of living on them. Even the Presi-
fent of the United States is supposed to
be citizen of the community in which
he exercises power. Philadelphia ac-
tually has something new to show in the
sort of absenteeism that has made of
little old Ireland cry for ages in the
ears Of civilization. -.-.

FOUR STARS FOR PERSHING

AS SOON as the President received the
"A bill raising Pershing to the rank of
full general in the army he signed it.
The commander of our armies in France
will receive his commission soon after
he arrives home and he will take his
place along with Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan, and like them will enjoy the
honors and emoluments of the rank till
he dies.
This is about all we can do under our
system for our great soldiers, and it
seems to be about all that the nation
thinks ought to be done. We take it as a
matter of course that man should de-
vote himself to his country and be content
with the ordinary rewards of the service.
Even our Presidents, exercising more
power than kings, leave Office poor and
have to earn their living as best they
may. ...

ROBINS: STAR GAZER

A hBERRATIONS of many kinds, colored
IA or black or assorted, aFtlict many
men in the heat of political campaigns.
But Thomas Robins, eminently respect
able wing of the Ware clan, has achieved
new record for vertical flights in the
upper ether.
The mayoralty election, ululatos he,
does not concern Philadelphia alone. 1t
concerns all America and is related to
the league of nations. 1t may save the
nation. 1t may rebuke the President for
false doctrines. Why? Because"
cries the eminently respectable wing of
the Ware clan, Judge Patterson is an
American"
Are the judges campaign managers as
badly off as all that?
Unless something more than fervor
ails Mr.. Robins everybody concerned on
either side of the fight is woefully short
sighted. Let us be frank and farseeing:
vote for Congressman Moore and help
the government of Omsk!" 'Cast your
ballot for Patterson and serve notice on
the Bolsheviki that the government of
the United States will stand no more
nonsense" What in the name of all that
is venerable will the next Mayor of Phila-
delphia do to free Korea? Is Judge Pat
terson ready to pledge himself at the mo-
ment of his election to return the birth
place of Confucius to the weeping Chi

LODGE: What are the things you seek,
since you turn everything upside down to
find them?
WOODROW: seek a peace incorrupti-
hle, undetiled, that fadeth not away. Read
IL Sc. if you will, in the Treaty.
LODGE: Tush Away with your Treaty;
will you accept our reservations or no?
WOODROW: No, not I, because it
would break the heart Of the world.
LODGE: Then will turn and leave you.
If you want me, you know my address
Washingtons Farewell Address, I mean.
HITCHCOCK: But II what the good man
says is true, the things he looks after are
better than yours. My heart inclines to 60
with him.
LODGE: Who knows whittier such a
brain sick fellow will lead you?
WOODROW: Nay, Hitchcock, do thou
come with me; there are such things to he
had which I spoke of, and many more
glories besides. Ii you believe not me, read
here in this Treaty.
~ LODGE: I will go back to my place; !
will be no companion of such msled fan
tostical fellows.
Now, ! saw in my dream, that, when
Lodge was gone back, Woodrow and Hitch
cock went talking over the Middle West;
and thus they began their discourse. ..
HITCHCOCK: Come, neighbor Woodrow
tell me now further whittier we are going.
WOODROW: Since you are desirous to
know, ! will read from my Treaty. I
must frankly admit that in most of the
speeches have heard friend Lodge deliver
it would be impossible to form a definite
conception of what that instrument means.
HITCHCOCK: And do you think that
tie words of your Treaty are certainly true?
WOODROW: Yea verify. Instead of
War there shall be irresistible pressure Of
the opinion of mankind. Instead Of War
there shall be discussion.
HITCHCOCK: After hearkening to
friend Lodge, it seems that discussion may
be almost as terrible as War.
WOODROW: There is a crown Of glory
to be given us, and garments that will shine
like the sun.
HITCHCOCK: This is very pleasant; and
what else?
WOODROW: There shall be no more
sending youngsters in khaki across the sea,
all which is recorded in this Treaty.
HITCHCOCK: Well, glad am I to hear
of these things come on, let us mend our
race.

Of the slough was Shantung. Here, there

This is but bogy when you look at it in the
last analysis.
