EAGER REFoRMERs
WOULD DICTATE

The eager reformer forEets this
sirsbiIIty of his measures that he
longs for a shortcut through som.
disguised dictatorship. 1t takes so
long to persuade a majority. He
forGets that just this discussion ana
persuasion are the indispensable
means OF training a citizenship for
the new duties. Even such training
does not always avoid mistakes. but
1t enables people to profit by their
mistakes.
These general truths are a crush
ing reply to advocates of direct ac-
ton" 'proletarian Dictatorship" ana
other methods of suddenly and vio-
lently increasing the power of la
Dor in industry.
Modern industry is complex, tech
nical. delicately poised upon great
credit structures and international
relations. To democratize its oper-
alton without elaborate educational
preparation through that discussion
and persuasion which converts a
majority Is to make certain the fail
ure and collapse of industrial life.
4 ma jority that cannot be convinced
of the desirability of a plan GER
tainly cannot carry il out.
Any nation that adops undemo-
cratic methods thereby proves its
unfitness for self-govcrnment Any
people ready for industrial democ-
rRcy will be too Intelligent to pe
1boled by a dictatorship of the pro-
ietariat" or to long endure a dicta-
Eorship OF possesSors.

DOGS OF BRITAIN
 SAVED MANY LIVES

London, Dec. 24.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. .)-England's dog army rendered gallant service in the war. Many soldier owes his life to some poor, uncared-for, stray dog. For nearly two years dogs were em- ployed by the British as messengers, as sentries and as guards.
 Early in 1917 war dog school of instruction was established by the British War Office and Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, who has devoted his life to training dogs for military and police purposes, was appointed commandant of the school. Game keepers, hunt servants and shepherds were called up from the army to as- sist in the work of instruction.
 After thorough training in Eng land, the dogs were sent to France, and on the battlefields their skill, courage and tenacity amazed the ar my. Often wounded in the perform ance of their duties, they never falter- ed while strength remained to carry on. The official record of their heroic work tells of successful message-car- rying through darkness, mist, rain and oICA-lIC ONCi CIc ulOSJ ground. In few minutes time dogs have brought messages over ground that>would take a soldier runner hours to cross.
 During the great German advance last spring part of the British line in front of famous French town was cut off by severe enemy barrage. A messenger dog was released with an urgent appeal for endorsements. It ran two miles in ten minutes The re- suit was that French colonial divis- ion was sent up and prevented a dis aster. The messenger was a High land sheep dog.
 Another dog with a message ran nearly four miles in twenty minutes, and still another in the same time car ried back from the front map of an important captured position, when a man would have taken an hour and a half to bring it in.
 The dogs which have been found most successful in war work are col lies, sheep dogs, lurchers and aire- dales, and crosses of these varieties, while in a number of cases Welsh and Irish terriers have given excellent re- suits.
 The work of sentry dogs has been valuable, especially in the Balkans, One gave warning of an enemy scout
 300 yards away. On many occasions
 dogs have given warning of enemy
 patrols long before the soldier sen tries were aware of their presence. Large numbers of dogs have been
 used for guard duty, many on the Ital- 1 ian front.

HATPIN HELPS FORCEPS
 EMPTY DENTISTS'S CHAIR

A dentlStS offlce under ordinary occasions the last place on earth for milaritv. is the scene of some riotous fun in Mabel Normand's newest Gold wyn Picture, "Peck's Bad Girl" by Tex Charwate, which comes to the Hauber Theatre, today. This is no ordinary occasion for when Mabel Peck (Miss Normand), the village scamp wants anything she always gets what she wants when she wants it.
 She wants the chair at the dentists for her mother. who is suffering from an aching molar. but finds Cyrus Cor don, the undertaken, occupying it. Ar ter waiting five minutes Mabel de- cides to frighten Gordon out of the chair. While the dentists back is turned in a hunt for one of his in- struments, Mabel reaches for her hat pin. Then the dentist returns to his patient for another long examination of Cyrus tooth-or so she thought. But in reality he is ready to do the yanking.

In this day of little novelty in styles of entertainment, it is refreshing to note that big musical treat is in store for the patrons of the Hauber all next week, when Hockwald and Pughe's Royal Native Hawaiians will appear in concerts of native and American music. This big added fea- ture will be in addition to the regular picture program, and no advance in price will be made. The company will open at Mondays matinee and appear thereafter at each and every perfor7 nance. In addition to the musical members to be given, the Princess Nahale will appear in the celebrated native Hula dance at each perform ance during the week. It is worth the admission price to hear their gui- tar soloist play "rhe Blues" on the steel guitar. Prices including pie lures, 10 and 25 cents.

BEST THEATRE.

Pine Bluffs favorite, Douglas Fair banks, is winning more friends at the Best Theatre yesterday and today, in "He Comes Up Smiling" The farce upon which the picture is based was highly successful on the stage several years ago, but it is said the screen version is even more satisfactory to those who like the ingredients which have been provided by MT. Fairbanks in this splendid production. The part of Jerry, who is known by the Knights of the Road as "The Watermelon" is that of a young man who has ann bition, but who is inclined to live life of vagabondage. Lured by the green wood and an irresistible desire to ex- perience new sensations along the broad highway Jerry is character which stands out distinctly as one of MT. Fairbanks most novel and en- joyable characteriZations. The picture is filled with numerous novel situa- tions and the action is exceedingly rapid. Jerry chases a canary bird over hill and dale, into houses and ov- CT housetops; but he Is in turn chased by bevy of bees and he does remark able stunts in a wild automobile drive across mountain. The role of the tramp is unique even in his record of unusual characterizations, but MT. Fairbanks seems thoroughly al home therein. Marjorie Daw is MT. Fair banks leading woman, and remark able fist of players has been provided ao interpret the other roles. Chef among these are Frank Campeau Her. bert Standing, Bull Montana, Jay Dwiggins and Kathleen Kirghaln.
