Someone has said it's the little
things in life that count. And true
it is, for the little things easily de-
velop into affairs Of tremendous i'm
portance. In the great north the
little exasperations of life grow big
with serious menace. There the mo-
notony of existence passed III scenes
of swirling snow, and bowling gales
pound at the gates Of reason with
ever mounting insistence. No one
knows better than Rex Beach what
the monotony of life in the north
lands means and no one could have
described as dramatically as he has
done in 1.-THE North Winds Malice"
which will be seen at the Strand
Christmas day.
The picture coming to the Strand
Saturday is Corrine Griffith in 1.-The
Broadway Bubble" a stirring pro-
duction in which she enacts a dual
role. The popular star wears a great
variety of gowns, dresses and desha-
mile in the relies Of twin sisters, and
the contrast between the two charac-
tiers enacted by the same actress is
startling. 1t is said 10 be her best
picture.

trouble. When he really loves one
of them his explanations in regard
to the other two are bound to be
funny to any one not involved. Also
when it develops that the other two

EDITOR ADMITS FORMER
EVILS OF WALL STREET

One Of the favored methods Of de-
Tending present-day abuses In politics
and business is that Of acknowledge
ing evils in the past but claiming
that the successors of the former
evildoers have thoroughly reformed.
B. c. Forbes, editor Of System, whose
chief business it is. to make Wall
street vampires look like decent citi-
zens, is the latest to try his hand at
this argument. And many Of our
large daily and weekly papers are
copying his effusion.
Here, for instance, is part of his
confession: I'm the days of Jay
Gould and Jay Cooke and other stall
warts of Civil war times and later,
high finance was often pretty low
down finance. No amount of trickery
or chicanery was considered too out
rageous if only it served to knock out
the other fellow. Hitting below the
belt was the rule, not the exception.
Many railroads were not run for the
benefit Of their stockholders or the
benefit Of shippers, but solely tor the
benefit of those controlling them.
The financial gladiators made their

COX FOR REAL FREEDOM.

Governor Cox stands squarely on the
Democratic national platform, especi-
ally as to such questions as the League
of Nations and Labor and Industry.
His record on the American right of
free speech and freedom of assembly
is so sound that it must commend it.
self to all but hopeless reactionarics.
The following is but one from many
similar declarations made by him:
There is some hysteria over the SUBJ
ject Of active clements in this country
that are menacing to the government.
There is no danger in the sitution,
although it might easily be aggravated
if the governmental policy Of restraint
and common sense that has endured
through the years were to become one
of force and terrorism. If gov
eminent is assailed, it's policy must not
become vengeful. Our fathers, in
specifying what human freedom was,
and providing guarantees for it's pre-
servation, recognized that among the
necessary precautoin, was the protec-
ton Of individual right against gov
ernmental abuse.
That is good Democratic doctrine,
good American doctrine taken undil-
uted from American traditions and the
federal constitution. That Governor
Cox believes in that doctrine, particu-
larly as we'll as generally, is shown by
recent events. In Penrose's bailiwick
Of Pennsylvania, in Judge Gary's pri-
vate town of Gary, peaceful meetings
of strikers were prohibited and
mounted troopers rode down men and
women in the streets. But freedom
of speech and freedom or assembly
were not disturbed in Ohio. The gov
ernor of that state believes in uphold
ing these rights, which does not mean
for moment that he will tolerate any
abuse of them, for he says: "'The
man that breaches force rather than
law is as dangerous to the community
as any longhaired Bolshevik in Rus
sia.' He instructed local officials to
maintain order against rioting, but not
to interfere with any pcaceable gather
lngs, union or non-union.
Outside Of Ohio there was violence
because officers of the law were law
less in disregarding American rights.
Within the state Of Ohio there was no
violence, because Jim Cox ordered that
the constitutional rights Of Americans
be respected.

The writer seems to have no rem

polls those who did nothing but
promised much,
THE same statesmen he says,
who saw that government employees,
particularly those VIGOROUSLY under

the two big national political con-
Vent1ons and there joined in loadine
into the respective platforms the
same old promises Of fair treatment
and fair play to government en-

the number of clerks for this fiscal
