Congress Commended for
 Passing Railroad Bill

Go1AAE EN4MEOdQ nIlL
 TN turning the railroads back to 0 private ownership on March 1, the government will do so without the confusion that was anticipated some months ago. Without friendly legislation a majority of the trans nortation lines would be headed for bankruptcy; but the bill recently passed safeguards the financial ln- terests of the security holders and protects the public.
 The securities are guaranteed 51s per cent interest; that much and no more. That is 8 reasonable provl- sion and satisfies in full measure the association of security holders, if not Wall Street spectators.
 The bill prohibits strikes, and that is in the interest of the public. Or ganized labor, as might have been expected, has fought this provision. But the railroads serve the public and as the public rises in far-reach- ing importance above labor politics, Congress stepped aside from expedl- ency this time and acted on the eide of the people.
 Every fair minded man wants to see railroad employees we'll paid, and well treated. Their wages are high now and so long as the cost of llv- ing remains as it is, the wages will and should be kept on high level; but in the nature of things the coun- try can never afford to submit to a "tie-up' of the railroads. M There may be other features of the bill that are objectionable to labor, but the strike prevention clause is the outstanding feature. Many ot the members of the railroad brother hoods when they give the question cool consideration, may feel disposed to take the public's side. However Congress has acted from right mo. tives and if President Wilson has any hesitancy in signing the bill, it will be that he may have time to study the constitutionality of the legisla- tion.
 1 As businesslike and conservative as the railroad bill is, it is weak in one particular. It provides for inland waterways transportation, in which Birmingham and Mobile, to say noth- ing of the Mississippi valley, are vi tally interested, but it makes no pro- vision for the needed appropriations It may be that the President will send the bill back to Congress fol amendment in this respect. But ever if the measure as it stands becomes 2 law, the oversight referred to can be remedied by special act.
 The railroad companies have reor- ganized their personnel and win bs ready to resume business at "the ole stand" next Wednesday. They vii take up their work with zest, ane especially cheering will be tht thought that financial disaster has been averted. The next two year; promises to be the most prosperous in their history.

SEA SHELLS DUG
 !. UP AT LOCKWOOD PARKS NEW POOL

Laborers at Edgewood Park, where the Hillco Amusement Enterprises are mak- ing $25,000 iE improvements preparatory to opening Birmingham's newest plets- ure resort, today are trying to figure out just how long ago the ocean rolled over this region as result of finding a strata of shells of wonderful hues while excavating for the great swimming pool and beach last week.
 Picks were plying away when shells suddenly began to fly in all directions, said Hugh w. Hill, president of the cor.. pany. The men were far down in the earth then and their find attracted con- siderable attention. The strata was gen. eral over the entire place. but not very thick. Soon picks and shovels were back in regular soil, but the shells had been gathered and will be scattered along the beach. adding to the beauty of the sandy promenade.
 Work on the improvements is progress ing rapidly and the management ex- poets to have everything in readiness for the opening on the date planned, June l5.

THE RIVERS END. :"
 WONDER PHOTOPL TRIANON OFFERING
James Oliver CurwOOd's Masterpiece Goes on the Screen-Feature Play
 of Years Artistry

"The Rivers End" the greatest story that James Oliver Curwood ever wrote, according to all critics, has been made into a wonder photoplay by that super-director, Marshall Neil an. and this photoplay will be the at traction at the Trianon theatre this week. beginning Monday.
 Reports from all over the United States where this production is being shown indicate that it is one of the big productions of the season and one of the most gripping dramas of the screen. The central figures in this mammoth photoplay are Keith, the outlaw; Conniston of the mounted police; Miriam Kir6stone. under the spell of an oriental mystic; Mary Con nisston sister of the officer who dies and she thinks still lives in the out law, Keith.
 Come expecting something good and you won't be disappointed.
 ''The Rivers End" is a smashing story of Gods country. said to be even greater than the photoplay Back to Gods Country" which proved such a country wide success.
 "The Rivers End" as a story, has been read by more than 25,000 900 peo- pie, according to the book publishers. This story was published in the Good Houseke eping Magazine and the lead ing newspapers of the country. Keith, the outlaw, and Conniston, the officert seeking him, are similar in physical and facial appearance. In the search for the outlaw the officer dies and then the outlaw becomes the officer and comes back to the scene of his alleged crime and his boyhood and he comes back wearing the dead mans garments and using the dead mans name. And then arises one of the most unusual and thrilling stories ever written and one of the best photo plays of the screen.
 Newspapers have written column after column in praise of the produc- -ion and critics generally agree that it is even more wonderful as a photo- play than was Back to Gods Coun- | try" one of the big hits of the picture season.

SEA WOLF" |S AT
 COLONIAL THEATRE:

One of the greatest sea stories ever written, picturized by Paramount-Art- craft with an all-star cast, will be the attraction at the Colonial theatre all this week. The Sea Wolf" written by that master teller of tales, Jack London, and which is now being hailed as a classic, is the story, and the pro- ducers have retained all of the tang of the sea and the striking force of the story in it's transference to the screen.
 Jack London is one of the most virile writers America has produced and his stories all stand out from the thousands that have been printed It was with The Sea Wolf" that he made his fame, and no novel has ever been written which is a more colorful and striking picture of life on the storm swept waves under flying clouds.

After having been presented in TO- mantle and dramatic roles, Eugene O'Brien now dips lightly into comedy in the new Selznick picture, "A Fool and His Money" written by George Barr McCutcheon, which will be at the -Alcazar theatres feature offering for this week.
 An exceptionally strong added at traction is billed with the Selznick fea- ture in Larry Seamon's rattling good comedy, School Days" This is the comedy kings best recent picture. A Mutt and Jeff cartoon comedy and c6ntinuous music complete what prom ises to be a very popular bill.
 In "A Fool and His Money" MT. O'Brien appears an American author who buys an old castle on the Danube in order to get "atmo osphere" for a new novel as we'll as peace and quiet.

only a novel, after all. A fight with a villainous nobleman and a chase over the snow covered hills convince him it isn't all "make-be and the final reinsurance is when he clasps the fair heroine in his arms.
 "A Fool and His Money" is light comedy mixed with drama, and pre- sented among the most picturesque set tings, with a complete transfer of the glamourous McCutcheon touch from the printed page to the screen.
 Among the outstanding features of this new O'Brien Ss>ture are the splen did scenic effects and the unusually large and capable cast which is headed on the feminine side by beautiful Rubye De Remer.
 In the matter of scenic effects there are few ,photoplays given the extreme thought and care devoted to this one. Hart island, with it's beautiful land- scapes and the historic Boldt castle the ice and snow-capped hills of the Thousand Islands, the magnificent summer homes along the St. Lawrence river, all contribute to the pictures scenic splendors.

As lover, rider fighter and athlete Buck Jones, the Fox Company's latest film sensation, leaves little to ask for His exceptional ability to handle horses and to make his body do seem ingly impossible things. emiuently fit him for the role of the fighting ranch man in Forbidden Trails the film acter, and as portrayed by Noah Beery he seems to stalk his wicked way across the screen more striking1y than in the book. This is the finest thing Mr. Beery has done and the balance of the cast follows the high standard he set

A STRONG ENDORSEMENT

Platteville Witness: Hon. J. w.
Murphy, Democratic candidate TOR
Congress, received more votes in
Grant county than any other man on
the ticket, Col. Mccoy, the candidate
for Governor not excepted, the Col
onel receiving the next largest vote.
Mr.. Murphy's unquestioned patrl-
otism, his whole-sOuled efforts for
the boys during the late war and
since, and his personal popularity
will draw many votes to him irres-
pective of party. There are many
Republicans who cannot conscien-
tiously vote for Nelson, not so much
because of what he did during the
war, but because of what he might
have done and left undone when the
big conflict was on These Republi-
cans will vote for Mr.. MuGphy, be-
lieving and knowing that his patriot
ism-America first-will guide hun
in our interests irrespective of the
Democratic whip. Mr.. Murphy is big
enough, capable enough and broad
enough to make an able representa-
tive of all the district.
