Katie Gets a Chilly Reception

That family of Peter Crandall's
was about as cordial to his young
wife--who had been Katie Malloy,
manicurist-as Bryan is to the
brewers association. The warmth
of their welcome was as intense as
boarding house radiator after
ten o'clock in the evening. And if
Katie had not been so completely
and, perhaps, so unwisely devoted
to Pete, she might have broken
undsr the oppressive strain of the
family's disapprova.. AS it was,
she stuck it out. Until they made
her believe-but that is the story ;
and it can best be told on the
screen itself. It's "The Misft
Wife," Friday at the Opera House
and Alice Lake, who won a million
hearts in SHOULD Woman Tell?"
and "Shore Acres," protrays the

citizen to stop complaining and get
to work? What the country needs
today is not more fault finding that
only initiates, but constructive opti-
mism that believes "All things work
together for good"
No family on earth can prosper
where there is constant nagging or
everlasting fault finding. AS the ma
ton is but one big family, it cannot
prosper without mutual faith and
good will The mass of Americans
are sensible. honest and Industrious
folk. All they need right now is to
practice little better team work and
cut out the anvil chorus
Anybody can kick; it takes a regu-

A CREED OF INDEPENDENCE.

Senator Harding holds fast to the old notion
of independence that made our beginnings. He
has no respect for the crutch of socialism, syn
dicalism and paternaism. For these theories
are every one of them confessions of weakness.
They call upon government to make people what
they are unable to make themselves. They
predicate duty on government beyond that of
giving people an equal opportunity to make
themselves what they can and desire. 1ndi-
vidualism has developed here breed of strong,
self reliant freemen and it will continue to do
this. The labor leaders show their greatest in
consistency on this point. They, too, assert the
great value of Individual freedom, of self-re-
lance of labor in industry. Yet they firt with
straight socialism in advocacy of government
control and ownership and work to secure an
unbalanced responsibility before the law in in
dustrial disputes. Thinking labor leaders know
that in the ideal state of the socialist-radical,
people are absolutely under the heel of ma
chine, without individuality or opportunity for
it. The only choice under bureaucracy is a
choice of masters
