ing over precipice more than a hun
dred feet high, is one of the many
thrilling climaxes of 1.-THE Rider of the

ing offered at the Columbia theater for
the last times today. Harry Carey,
the ace of the saddle" has the leading
role in this all absorbing drama.
Clear views are shown of this daring
plunge through space with the horse
turning completely over twice with the
rider holding his place in the saddle.
1t is a wonderful bit of photography
and a still more wonderful bit of per-

One of the fastest gun fights ever
filmed is also to be seen in this pro-
duction. Harry Carey as an officer of
the famous old Texas rangers has am

Noted Shakespearan Actor Coming
John E. Kellerd, the eminent actor
who will play an engagement at the
Elks theater, Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, Nov. 80, Dec. 2. is consid-
cred one of the foremost of today's
interpreters of the plays of William
Shakespeare.
After devoting the greater part of
his life to sincere study of the works
OF the Immortal Bard, Kellerd finally
won the approval of the New York
critics for his scholarly portrayal of the
role of Hamlet while playing an ex-
tended engagement at the Garden
theater. On his tour of the United
States and Canada last season, Kellerd
Won international recognition as q
master of his art. Dramatic critics on
the western coast especially favored
this gifted actor, who nightly drew
thousands to the theaters to see and
hear again the plays which are invul-
nerable to time.
Regarding the general attitude of the
modern public toward the legitimate
stage, Kellerd says: ut is quite OBJ
vious from the number of people in
New York alone who attend REVEALS of
Shakespeare and who exceed by SOC
per cent those who went in the OLD
days to see Booth and Barrett. AND
so it is throughout the states. There
| is now much more interest manifested
in the Shakespearean plays than ever
| before"

We've got to eliminate the monkey

sideration, and sometimes money.
Here is where you are most likely to
see the game played by the supposed
ly big ones, but you had better not
go back into their private life a. few
years, or else they don't loom so large
to you. You may find four flushing
in all the ranks and stations in life,
from the king, the president down to
the bottblack. and sometimes to the
baby in his cradle. Dressing beyond
ones income or station in life is the
crudest kind of four flushing. Using
big and pretentious words, that you
hardly know the meaning of, or show
ing the bills in your bill fold biting
off more than you can chew. Renting
very pretentious houses or flats, and
knowing everybody's business and
most of their secrets. Making big
promises that, you can only half way
carry out. Building large church
edifiees, taxing the life of the congre-
cation, and pretending to know more
than the small head can hold. Carry
ing on in a hundred other insidious
ways to have people wonder at the
great efforts you seem to be making
to Guido some one else. Pooling your
self and others, along a thousand by
paths of cuteness and trickery, and
deception. Can't you see now what
four flushing is? Do you ever see
much of it? We do.

HE WANTED TO GO TO WAR.
By M. A. Majors, NJ. d.

I am sorry I didn't go to war because
Il use a gun,
There'd be war crosses all over my
chest and I'd be having fun.
The fact is man shoot some gun, fol
when I take my aim
I'd make a mark and this old world
would be talking of my fame.
When a fellow wants to go to war
he wants to go to war,
And just because my name was
missed it proves a mighty bar,
The Huns were shot alright by men
of our neglected race,
But if I'd gone to war we'd been
given a bigger place.
The day my QUESTIONABLE came, next
day the Armistice 80.
Was signed in France and all said
there was surely peace,
But it has got upon my nerves, this
war and ! can fight,
So what can a fellow do whose pur-
poses are right?
Oh, / am sick, and sore, and said, I've
missed an awful chance,
They needed me on the fighting front
in the trenches of old France.
But dear old Uncle Sam somehow has
overlooked my name
And left me out of what the world
has called the fighting game.
But should there be another war,
guess I'll have to go.
I've got the grit and vim it takes to
give the Huns a blow.
But that amt it, Host my chance to
play what was my part,
And, sakes alive, it gives me fits and
hurts my very heart.

1t is a good idea always to cherish

you feel yourself little better than

LET US UNITE AND BUILD FOR
FUTURE GENERATIONS.
By M. A. Majors, NJ. D.

1t may seem strenuous, sound
funny and at the slightest thought
given it, appears to be unnecessary,
and yet it is the most worthwhile
thing we may do, as race suffering
the horrors of the ages.
Read the proposition over and over
again.-Here it is.
The Peoples movement is a pro-
cess of race unity. 1t should spread
all over Chicago, over the state, and
finally over the nation.
1t or somthing like it, meaning an
organization, should conserve the
races best interests-racial welfare
from every conceivable angle. Poll
tics is all right, but not the chief
asset, nor our best principle for race
betterment, and yet do not exclude
it. Let it be one of our values. Now,
let there be public meetings every
night in some large hall, where the
race can assemble and hear the best
speakers of the race on some leading
topic on some subject that is pulsat-
ing and vital to our very life. Let
there be a standing committee that
viii reach out in the researches of
the rich treasure of our history, dig
down and bring up our hidden racial
resources and report them at each
meeting, give Us points of law, in
formation as to the proper care of
our health, our commercial status,
information and light upon our lit
erary strivings and culture. What
our children are learning in school.
What the race is doing in matters of
condemning the criminal and how we
stand on the anti-iquor laws, and
for the prevention of the manufact-
ure of intoxicants. Let our lawyers
inform us on the bills before the leg
islature appertaining to laws that
keep or hinder our progress. Keep
ourselves informed upon the doings
and sayings of our enemies, and to
advise Us upon the public questions
affecting racial interests.

Did you ever stop to think that
people are very much alike? Color
has no bearings on the situation if
the heart is not prompted by the just
and true things of life. Same shape
and form, same tastes, same wants,
likes and dislikes, same nature, how
then can ones color enter into the
equation, when bad is bad, good is
good. when one is unworthy that is
all there is to consider, the color of
the skin can not make differences.
Stop sayingI heard so and so, and
did you hear so and so. The very
ones you are misjudging may be mis-
judging you. The people you hear
so much about, evidently must be
