THE PALACE.

In film farce that is a three reel hummer as far as providing fun goes Charlie Chaplin will lead the laugh sec ton at the Palace the entire week. The glad hand will certainly be extended to the famous Charlie by Palace audiences for 1t is now many months since they greeted him in one of his farces. The title of the mirth spreader is Sunny side" and it places Charlie in an en- tire1y new environment.
 'Sunnyside" introduces the famous Charlie close to nature, down on the farm, getting up with the call of the rooster and going to bed with the set ting of the sun. These hours make a long day for Charlie but the longer the day the more laughs he provides. In- stead of making hay Chaplin makes laughs while the sun shines and as he goes through the inrumerable comedy situations and does scores Of fun mak- ing stunts that are entirely new even for the famous million dollar comedian, the pictures develops into real laugh ing vacation for his audiences.
 In Little Kick" Master Gabriel, one of the prime favorites among vaude- vil1e's distinctive entertainers, appears with his own company in bit of variety comedy that is taking from the start
  iginal methods of keeping the laughs going and he makes his offering really fine piece of vaudeville.
 Another fine offering among the sex tette of acts for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday is Luba Mirof who pre- sents a remarkably good dancing act assisted by three other very clever step pers. As a terpsichorean feature this act will stand comparison with the very best that vaudeville has to offer.
 The bill also has another number fea- turing a name that means a lot to the one who is critical about his vaudeville This is Bob Randall who is presenting this season a new act that has registered heavier than any of his previous suc- cesses. "The Discharged Soldier" is the name the clever comedian has given this original fun making idea which is meaty with fun and humor.
 Will Stewart, Fred Boncourt and May Weeds is a skit which they have seen fit to name "The Johnny, the Fireman and the Actress are able to prove through their cleverness that they are born fun makers. A dash of song, just enough dancing to make their audiences want more and some comedy talk that is brightness itself are the features com blned by Festel and Cecil in the pleas ing little turn they term Bits of Musi- cal Comedy" The Arakis Trio of Japanese acrobats are billed to open this show which Is certainly of true Palace ca1ibre

Loosely DrdWn Bills

lF'rom the Scranton Republican.
Governor Sproul, In the veto of an
important measure that reached him
last week, warned the Legislature
against the passage of loosely
drawn bills.
Both Houses had adopted what is
known as the StadtIander bill, au-
thorizing counties, cities and bor-
oughs to make appropriations for
entertaining, aiding and caring for
returned soldiers, sailors and ma
rines.
1t is generally admitted that this
is a very desirable measure in view
or the various movements inaugu-
rated in the State to finance, liber-
ally, the committees planning proper
receptions for the soldiers heroes re-
turning from abroad.
In his veto message the Governor
points out that the bill is. a COM
mendable one. but lit is so loosely
drawn as not to be clearly under
stood" and in it's present form might
give rise to grave abuses" To pre-
vent that, the bill was vetoed.
1t is obvious that any measure of
Importance. such as the one under
discussion, should be carefully
scanned by a competent lawyer be-
fore its introduction into the Legis-
lature. The courts have been bur
dened with work in this State be-
cause large proportion of the bills
passed by the Legislature, are word
ed in such defective manner that
they do not make their purposes
clear.

THE CHANGE

All the daytime I belong
To the Solemn-coated throng
VINO with grave, stupendous looks
Study cash and ledger books,
Staid and slow,
On sad business to and fro.
But when twilight comes. I range
over topics new and strange.
Wasting all my leisure hours
On fay birds and phantom flowers,
Or I sing
Some mad fling
Through the impish evening.
Yes. and when the moon goes by
Rocking in foamy sky,
Then / swear I'm more akin
To the laughing Cherubim
Than to those grave men who go,
To and fro. TO and fro.
On sad business to and fro

yHHE new song sheets OF the War
Camp Community Service bears
this inscription:
"a Singing Nation to Welcome a
Victorious Singing Army
There is much more than mere
sentiment back of this motto. 1t Is
a good catch sentence, but it ex-
presses a truth as well as a hope.
For in the past few years we have
become a singing Nation. When
first the Rotary clubs of the coun-
try joined the college boys in mass
singing, sedate and dignified person.
ages, who did not understand, look
ed askance and shook their heads
in doubt. But the contag gion spread,
and now. to use an old slang phrase
descriptive of another type of popu-
lar diversion, "everybody's doing it,"
Doubtless the war did much to
increase the popularity of the So
called community singing. But it
was coming anyway. 1t is the evil
dence of a spirit that speaks well
for the future of the Nation, for a
singing Nation, like a singing army,
is a victorious Nation. Men sing
from exaltation of soul. from exu-
berance of spirits. The man who
sings sees visions and dreams dreams.
Only sullen, hopeless or vicious peo-
pies are silent. The young, the
,.;yorous the upward-looking for
ward-going peoples of the earth are
those who sing. We sing and there
by express our confidence in the fu-
ture, our will and desire to be up
and doing. Thank God that we are
a singing Nation and that our army
comes home as it went away, sing

The Attorney Who Non Runs the
Railroads For The Government
[From the Literary Digest.

He was born with good health-and
has conserved it. And he reads for
amusement: one evening it is Bab
Ballads, the next Boswell's Johnson.
He doesn't smoke. He sleeps
soundly.
NO, if you wish to know Walker
Hines as he is, you must know him
at work. If the aspiring youths of
the coming generation are to have
inspiration from his life, they will
find there no log cabin birthplace,
no chapter of picturesque cow
punching on the western plains, no
dramatic moments of high wit or
sudden daring. His achievement is
something more modern, more diff
cult"
AS to the ideas about Government
entertained by the new head of the
railroads, we learn,
HE believes with our forefathers
that that country is governed best
which is governed least. Yet he
says government is a serious task;
it is big mans job. The greatest
defect in our system of government
he has argued, is its failure to fix
responsibility. We have outlived the
necessity of longer needing Monte
squieu's guaranty of democracy, a
VI ltSlSldllNe anu eASCu-
tive functions. In other words, we
must cease passing the buck in
Washington, in our State legisla-
lures. our county seats. This slang
is not Mr.. Illness, though the
thought is.
"As to politics, Mr.. Hines is a
Democrat. He confesses he is a
radical in his social thinking. He
believes that the industrial processes
of the United States would profit by
being socialized more than they are.
AS to a violent upheaval in this
country. we have at hand the means
of copying with every crisis that
can impend.
Mr.. Hines's first public message
on taking office was a plea for a
better understanding of our railroad
problem.
"A vigorous difference of opinion
will not shock or disturb him. He
will meet it calmly. He will gener-
ously and patiently examine every
issue that is raised. He will go to
the very bottom of this problem"

ANARCHY

saw a city filled with lust and
shame,
Where men, like wolves, skunk
through the grim half-light;
And sudden, in the midst of it, there
came
One who spoke boldly for the
cause of Right.
And, speaking, fell before the brut-
ish race
Like some poor wren that shrek
ing eagles tear,
While brute Dishonor; with her
bloodless face,
Stood by and smote his lips that
moved in prayer.
Speak not of God! In centuries
that word
Hath not been uttered! Our own
king are we."
And God stretched forth His finger
as He heard
And DER it cast q thousand leagues
of sea.

SPANGLER'S GOOD POINT

~PEAKER ROBERT S. SPANG-
LER was exactly right a few
~ days ago when he called the
big city legislators to account for
hiking home on Tuesday and pre-
venting work being carried out as
hoped in the lower branch of the
Legislature. He properly said that
it was unfair to the members from
distant counties who have to stay
here and emphasized the fact that
the people of the State expect at
tention to work even though the
salary allowed is an anachronism
and the cost of living sky high.
Thanks to a superior organiza-
ton, the best of any in a State
Legislature, the Senate of Pennsyl
vania seems able to clear up its
work in two days. 1t is true that
it has been aided in this by adher-
ence to the thought OF the fathers
that the upper house should be a
check on the lower, as the lower is
supposed to be on the upper, and
that there are many people who
disagree strongly with the way the
Senate is run. But the fact remains
that it does handle its work ex-
peditiously. 1t is also rare that it
passes bills for the House to kill.
AS far as the House is concerned,
it has evolved a policy of passing
many useless bills and in spite OF
predictions to the contrary, the COM
mittees of the lower branch have
put out an awful lot of legislative
material. But the members of the
House are not keeping step with
their committees. Instead of stay
ing here and working to push
through the bills, some city men,
bers have been following the Sem
atorial plan of going home Tuesday,
endangering quorums and prevent
ing disposal of bills which serve to
clog House calendars on Mondays
and Tuesdays.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

The rebinding of a book in a pub
lie library is one sure test of the
books popularity. The book that
goes oftenest to be redrest from one
public library is Uncle Toms
Cabin" and this fact leads Frank
Parker Stockbrdge, writing in the
New York Sun, to little speculating
on the answer his librarian fur
nished:
Every year there is a new gen.
Grafton of young readers coming
along who have never read Uncle
Tom we keep Il dozen copies of it
in circulation all the time.
"One wouldn't expect to find
Uncle Toms Cabin in active de-
mand south of Mason and Dixon's
line; but only a few days later, GU
riously enough. the title of Mrs.
Stoves epoch making work popped
up in list of the six most popular
books of the month reported by a
library in Texas.
"If I believed that condolences
run in threes l would expect to see
before long the announcement of a
revival-with an 'all-star' cast, per-
haps-of Uncle Tom on Broadway.
One of the wisest theatrical man.
ayers | ever knew found it profit
able to revive Uncle Tom for a
months run every four or five years
And New York must he the only
spot outside of the still unrecon-
structed corners of the South whose
inhabitants have not had a chance
to see Uncle Toms Cabin in one
or another of it's dramatic forms
within the last few years.
MY librarian friend thought he
was doing pretty well to keep a
dozen copies of the book in circu-
lation all the time. Allowing a week
to each reader, that would give six
hundred persons their introduction
to Eliza and Legree, to Topsy and
Little Eva and Tom himself, in the
course of a year"

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

We can not think of him as of the
dead.
The ancient dead whose ghostly
caravan
Threads the dim ages since the
world began.

Lie in the dust whence all the dream

Stern, mighty Death has neither
power nor plan
To rule the spirit of the valiant
man
Who unto Immortality is wed.

For he and Life together held the

Down. many a stern, beleaguer'd d

Wherefore, as falls our unashamed

countrymen to understand just what
kind of government" Trotzky and
Lenine wish to force upon the world.
The more we see and know of
the frightful conditions Bolshevism
brings in its wake, the more we will
want to combat the insidious efforts
OF its agents to bring the same kind
of ruin to America that they have
wrought in Russia. Trotzky and
Lenine know that they can continue
in power only a short time in Russia,
unless they can persuade other
countries to turn Bolshevik, thereby
opening up new sources of revenue
to them and new opportunities for
robbery and murder.
America must stand steadfast
against the wiles of these monsters,
not only for her own sake, but in
order that the people Of Russia,
great majority of whom have had
their fill of Bolshevism, may be en-
couraged to assert their rights and
throw off the yoke.

SACRIFICE
[By j. Corson Miller.l

by j. Corson Miller,l
Sing not to me of earthly power.
For winds make sport of the dust
of kings;
In many an immemorial hour
Men fought and bled for trivial
things.
Sing me the prayer that lifts from
some white heart,
AS Earth's immortal part.
For deeds that live to gain reward
And dreams that barter Love for
Fame;
These all shall die as with a sword
And be forever linked with shame.
The great white visions born of pain
and death,
These have eternal breath.
And as a comet sweeps the sky,
To reappear through cycling years,
So shall Loves deeds supreme and
high
Enkindle hope again from tears.
Sing me Loves utter sacrifice. and
loss
Christ's death upon the Cross.

A GOOD MOTTO

THE city of Chester has formed
it's own little League of Nations.
embracing in its membership
all of the foreign-born residents of
town, and the league has adopted
as it's motto: America first, last
and all the time"
Would that more American born
residents had the same motto.
These newcomers know that the
United States is the best country on
earth in which TO live. They know
that there is more opportunity and
real freedom here than in the parts
Of the world from which they came.
They know that wages are higher
and that we in America get more for
our money in the way of comforts
and luxuries than do the people of
any other country anywhere.
We do not need to have any fears
as to where the very large bulk of
our foreign-born population stand.
They demonstrated their 10y
ATTY curing lHe war. lHey are ICr
the most part good citizens now and
their offspring will be the backbone
OF the Nation in the next generation.
AS an evidence of this. note the re-
ports of local public school teachers,
who assert that many of the chill
dren of foreign-born parents are
their best pupils. 1t will be re-
membered, also, that the winners in
last week were all daughters of cit
izens who were born abroad
Let us look to our own patriotism.
That of the average foreigner who
has come to. this country to live and
make hisuasy Is above suspicion.

Now that the Chamber OF Commerce

would be unfortunate, perhaps, TO
have a division OF effort along this

fcits in the big Fourth of July parade.

tion for municipal progress in the
up-to-date conduct of its affairs. A
clean city is a recommendation that
gees far beyond anything else in the
way Of a municipal asset. Sanitation
stands at the head of every provision
for the comfort OF the people, and it
is highly important that at least one

UNCLE SANS TREES

@OSTMASTER SITES as custo-
r dian of the Federal Building
- has found it desirable to remove
the surviving shade trees along the
property on Walnut street. May we
not hope that the unsightly stumps
of these trees will give way to new
trees that will be encouraged by a
wider area of space in the side
walk and protection gratIngs.
While it is difficult to get the best
results in tree planting along paved
streets and granolithic sidewalks, it
has been found possible to provide
sufficient space by increasing the
area of planting and protecting the
same by a sidewalk grating.
Uncle Sam is abundantly able to
care for the artistic features of his
property and We have no doubt
Postmaster Sites will do what is pos
gible to restore the shade tree effects
around the Federal building.
