The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-03-09

Knoxville Express: If Gov. :, Ed
wards, of New Jersey, had all his
friends" in one party he would sim
uly stampede that party. The saving
clause that keeps the hands OF the
clock from being turned back by the
promptings of appetite is that no par
ty enjoys a monopoly of those who
would substitute beer key for the
American Eagle.
Waterloo Times Tribune: The
British are looking for friends and the
Americans should be looking for
friends. If there are two countries
in the world that should be friends,
for the good OF both they are Great
Britain and America.
I Carroll Herald: Gov. Harding is
on record against granting a bonus to
the ex-service men. He has scheme
/ to nay the young men off in high
sounding words and catching oratory,
The governor is long on that sort OF
thing. However, it is not presumed
that his stand will have much inf1u-
ence on the action Of the legislature,
one way or the other.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: The
funny thing is that the New York
World takes its boosting of Hoover
seriously. 1t thinks New York the
United States and itself New York.
! Webster City Freeman Journal:
Amid all the efforts Of one organiza-
ton after another to dictate the votes
of members of congress, it must be
relief to the member to reflect that
his ultimate accounting is to all the
voters Of his district and not to any
one class.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Gen.
Wood is not to be discredited because
he has worn and wears today the uni
form of his country. For that he is
to be honored 1t is at least one
pint, or should be, in his favor as \
candidate. He stands for at least
that much more or additional in the
eyes of all Americans, Or all who are
worthy to be called virile and patrios
ic Americans.

NOT POLITICAL hot AIR. :"

We do not exactly know how small we VIII
get, but we are thoroughly enjoying the declaf
ations the politicians are making. For instance
this was said by political orator III New York
last week:
It is true that political party cannot make
individuals thrifty but political party can pro,
duce the shining and potent example oi tnfAils "Ao
economical government
officials and agents of administration have ac,
quired the habit OF spending puDllc money aiu
don't when to stop. !, II.
Secure an executive department which will stop
urging and congress that will stop appropriatlng
money things which need not to be done no"
so extensively, need not BE done at all. ,
This is not partisan utterance; 1t is patrl-
otto utterance and one which the country needs
Ito heed most of all just at this time. The speak
'er had no doubt of his own idea of the party TO
do it, but that does not matter, for his oppon-
ents are doing just as fine talking. One speaker
seems to pull such principles fresh from the
future: another goes back to Jefferson for them
Tt is the American idea to let every voter get
his true principles and locate them where ne
liks-all he has to do is to be sure they are true
and to be sure that he gets them.
We have been since the war began in riot
of extravaganza under sky in which the sun
of natriotism and good will to all men was clear
Ily cleaning, although lurid clouds OF vain
vision and pretentious ambition pressed for
ward to pervert the light Of our patriotic and
Ihumanistic purpose Under such sky 1t has
been natural that the nation should lose thrift
and should Weld to the glamor of lavish pubic
expenditure most people being convinced that
lit was the price of human liberty, but too many
seeing in it only the price liberty should pay
them. It seems to us that the chief duty or the
American people is to resolutely free itself from
the conception of lavishness as desirable
whether it be conceived with either good or evil
intent. It is bad in one case and Of course,
criminal in the other Both should be stopped.
AS says the speaker we have quoted: We need
to stop spending public money for things
which need not to be done now so extensively,
or need not to be done at all"

bride which gives birth to suspicion
and distrust on the part OF the groom
and which results in complete loss
OF confidence on the part of the girl.
Revealing n certain hidden tender
ness on the part of the man and the
woman for each other, the story car
rics the spectator through an ever
growing maze OF social compleXity
to the point where the bride, to save
her husband from the consequences
of a supposed crime. prepares to sac
rifce herself for the man she has
married.
Through the Intervention OF a
friend, the husband is forced to see
his own stupidity and lack OF trust
and in the face OF his wife's proposed
sacrifice, he is abased to the dust. Out
of this condition. however. springs a
new understanding which is really
the birth of love between the couple.
The climax is attained in a veritable
burst of delayed sentiment.

Alice Lake now becomes the femi.
nine Jekyll-Hyde of motion pictures.
In Body and Soul" featuring Miss
Lake at the head of a notable cast.
and produced at Metros West coast
studios in Hollywood, Cal. this bril-
liant young actress plays dual role
that offers all the possibilities Of the
famous Robert Louis Stevenson char
actcr.
But the Alice Lake story, to be seen
for the first times in Washington at
Crandalrs Metropolitan and Knicker-
booker Theaters tomorrow, will pre-
sent no struggle between good and
evil natures. 1t hinges on the battle
OF two personalities for the ascend
ancy--personalities that grow out OF
a chain OF circumstances that can be
picturized only in the language of the
camera.
The story opens in tho Latin
Quarter of Paris, where unexpected
Glimpses of the quantity decorated
studios, the night life in the French
capital. and the struggles OF the am
bilious from every corner OF the world
are presented.
Miss Lake appears first in the
role OF an American art student. 1t is
while working at her studios that she
is a victim Of an accident that robs
her OF all memory and leaves her
with an entirely new personality.
Finding herself in an environment OF
which she knows nothing, she be-
leves herself a model and takes up
the life OF the Bohemian district.
In the unfolding Of thi$ phase Of
the story. Miss Lake insisted on sur
rounding herself with genuine
Partisan types.
One OF the big moments Of the
story COMES with an encounter with
an artist for whom the student model
is posing. The artist accepts his new
model as OF the kind with whom nc
had previously associated. But
enough OF the old personality remained
to prompt the girl to resent these at.
tentions. After a personal encounter
she made her escape, only after she
had been branded with an instrument
used by the sculptor In modelling clay.
Shortly after this encounter. tho
memory and earlier personality Of the
young model suddenly are restored.
She leaves the Bohemian quarter, her
old life and her associates. carrying
with her nothing but the brand cf
the artist to remind her OF her
dream existence.
Immediately after her return to
her former home, she is confronted
with n charge OF murder. a gruelllng
examination by the police and-the
big surprise Of the production

"BehOld NV Wife,

The seventh great super program OF
tn season at I.oew's Columbia TheatAr
will be revealed at that playhouse 70"
the first time tomorrow at whi"r
time "Behold My Wife" George Mel
ford's splendid appropriation for
Paramount based on Sir Giiberts
Parker's famous story "The Transit
ton OF a Savage" featuring Mabel
Julienne Scott. Milton Sills, Elliott
Dexter and others. will be shown as
the featured offering.
This production, scenarized by
Frank Condor, from the Parker story
reveals the plan of revenge ur"n his
FAMILY adopted by a young English
man in the wilds OF Canada who
blamed his people for the marriaFe
to his fiancee during his absence. To
disgrace his family. he purchases
rom an Indian chief the latter's beau
'iful daughter who really loves the
Young Englishman and sends her. 4
raw savage from the North American
wilds. to his proud and aristOcratic
family in England as his wife.
The lot Of the Indian girl, thrust
into an atmosphere not only strange
but utterly appalling TO her instincts,
is not a happy one, but it happens
that the father and mother Of the
young Englisman take a fancy to her,
attempt her education and are
charmed by the facility and readiness
with which she takes to civilized Gus
toms and training. A few years later
the young Englishman returns home
and is unable to recognize as the In
dian girl the woman he falls madlv
in love with almost at a first glimpse.
The tale is thus brought to a romantic
conclusion fin the working out of the
destiny Of the white mSn and the
Indian girl, now a woman of fashion
and great beauty.
The extra added attractions Of the
Columbia program will be numerous
and appealing. They include a short
length comedy subject, the latest Is
sue Of the Selznick news and an over
ture OF great beauty contributed by
the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.
