PAULINE FREDERICK PARAMOUNT STAR IS SPLENDID IN "SOLD"

Pauline Frederick, the famous Paramount star, will be seen in he, splendid photoplay, Sold" at the Coliseum Theatre next Saturday only
 Containing all the elements for vigorous emotional portrayal, Sold provides Miss Frederick with a high ly satisfactory role. Miss Frederick s portrayal is that of the wife of an impoverished artist. who, in order to obtain funds for her husband, con sente to pose in the nude for his wealthy rival. This sacrificial acf is detected by her husband, who, misunderstanding her motives, spurns her and laughs at her pro- testations that the act he brands her for was committed for his sake. From this point the drama develops much stress. and after series of tense situations. the husband learns of his wife's fidelity, and happy reunion is effected.

Owning Stockyards

In no wise instructed by the fact
that the net result Of its intrusior~
INTO the packing industry has been
to raise the price of meat, the De
Eartment OF Justice now proposes, on
the recommendation Of the Federal
Trade Commission, to separate the
stockyards and terminals from the
packing plants and to operate the
former through trustees to be
named by the Federal court.
That shippers Of cattle are en-
titled to dispose of their product in
free and impartial market is a
conclusion that needs no argument
to support it. It was a mistake
when the packers took over the man
agemenS of the stockyards and
terminals. 1t was inevitable, even
though the packers did not misuse
their power, for shippers to think
they had been denied a souarc deal
when sales were unsatisfactory.
SO the business Of buying and
packing should be dissoclated from
the business of taking care Of live
stock forwarded to a yard for sale.
But this does not imply that the
government should take over the
operation Of the yards. To do So if
past experience is any guide, means
that shippers must pay more Tor
poorer service. Trustees Of court
would Of necessity be subjected to
many rules and regulations limiting
their discretion. TNey could not
avoid being non-progressivc They
would lack the funds, as the rail
roads sadly discovered, for essential
improvements. The business would
become a dead one, and either the
rascrs Of livestock or consumers OF
neat products probably both
would be forced to pay the bill.
Who, then, should own and opcr-
ate stockyards? Companies or con
Germs whose interest is to serve
with equal assjduity both sellers and
buyers. II this is not feasible, if
there is no other way to stll the
belief that the buyers exercise secret
control, then why not have owner
ship and control by companies whose
stock ownership ig with the raisers
OF livestock? The packers would not
object, and surely thc vast stock

In Which Camp

There seems much confusion in
the serried ranks of wet and dry.
The Rev. Harry L. Bowlby, with his
bugle call for Sabbath not only dry
but blue, has filled the air with doubt.
"These battalions of his, are they
for us or against us?" murmur the
drys dubiously. Come on, you
Bowlby. Press where his blue plume
waves." cry the vets. And yet they
are pressing entirely for the fun Of
the thing and in the hope of a gen
eral reaction against all such purity
laws, and not al all with their hearts
in the Bowlby cause. If Bowlby won
there would be a bowling already
limited at in the excited writings +
our readers.
Would a triangular battle in the
fashion Of the famous Marryat duel
clear the issue? The vets could fight
the drys, and the drys could fight
Dr.. Bowlhy, and Dr. Bowlby could
fights the vets. This is a possibility,
yet hardly satisfactory, for the drys
are not so strenuously opposed to
the Bowlby plan as to fight and bleed
for its defeat. In fact, would they
Pc opposed to it at all if it's threat
did not somehow imperil the whole
cause of prohibition, Of what some
people call moral reform by law?
Time will doubtless close up the
ranks and clear the air. Meantime
one may contemplate With no small
remuneration in the way of enjoy
ment the spectacle OF DR.. Bowlby' 5
pure and pious crusaders, reinforced
by husky squads of bartenders, lend
ing their fusty voices to the battle
hymn of blueness. Prohibition has
had its gloomy side. The present
comic relief is a welcome change.

Safer Where They Are

Governor General Harrison rcnorts
that "poitical activity and postwar
economic disturbance" have rekin-
died the desire Of the Filipinos for
independence. He again recommends
a remuneration Of American sover-
eighty.
Postwar unrest consumes Europe
and Asia. In the Baltic region there
are many new states clamoring for
rccognision-Esthonia, Latvia, Lith-
uania and Finland. In the rest of
what was formerlo the Russian En-
pre there are a dozen or more sub
divisions which have set up for a
time a shadowy local sovereignty.
Some Of these experimental common
wealths have perished, others sur
vive, with fragile claims to nation
ality. In the former Turkish EN-
pire more states have emerged

tine and Mesopotamia. Egyptian
Nationalists are demanding indie

into Hayti and The Dominican Re-
public and deprived those two ma

for setting the Philippines adrift at
this juncturc, when everywhere else
he has been seeking to bring undc-
vcloped peoples under the mgis of
superior mandatarics?
Are the Filipinos superior in cult
ure TO the Armenians or the Syri-
ans? Or TO the Ukranians or the
Lithuanians? Yet the President is
opposed to granting these maturcr
peoples full independence.

The Revolt at Cornell

Just when the nation at large has
resolved that woman is and of right
ought to be mans equal in all the
privileges of citizenship up rise the
male undergraduates of Cornell to
disagree.
The revolt against coeducation is
based on grievance that was first
uttered in the Garden of Eden. The
young men at the university say
that the girls are a distracting temp
tation. While females of the species
cluster in the classrooms and flock
on the campus how can youths of
the other sex apply themselves? :?
With girls everywhere, their only
books are woman's ,ooks, the study
of which does not get them either
diplomas or degrees
The girls, say the male students,
insist on being taken down to Ithaca
to the shows and the restaurants.
down to the lake to canoe and out
10 the hillsides to toboggan. This
takes valuable time which ought to
be spent cramming. And when as
a result the faculty, like General
Nivelle, says TO them "Ye shall
not pass.' the old folks at home get
reevish and begrudgc the money
spent on vain attempt to educate
them.
There have been similar outbreaks
at Cornell. They occur generally
when there is an epidemic Of what
is locally known as busting out"
among the male students. All of
them have been teapot tempests, as
it is to be hoped this one will be.
Cornell has done great deal for
the young women to whom it's doors
have been open. In some respects H.
2ffers opportunities even broader
than those afforded 10y womcn's col
9gcs.
It's women graduates are to-day
doing important work in the state
and nation. And that the women
undergraduates have a serious pur-
pose in life their enrolment at Cor
nell attests. That hey are there to
work rather than 10 have good
time or vamp the boys is proved by
the fact that their average marks
are higher than those of the male
students.
Boys who want to study are not
compelled TO yield to temptation. It
would be serious mistake to make
the changes in the college program
that the protesting youths propose,
such as separate classrooms or Civ
ing the boys first choice in the
matter of professors. To take any
step which would tend to dissuade
women from going to Cornell would
work an incalculable injury to the
university.

The Bargain Hunter

In that menagerie of indetermi-
nate boundaries known as Wall
Street are many species. Among
others there are bankers and
brokers and lambs and bulls and
bears-and bargain hunters.
The bargain hunter is one of the
most romantic figures Of Wall
Street. perhaps because much mys-
terry surrounds him. Little is known
about him. 1t is popularity be-
lieved that he is a alternating
species, although the~e is nothing
seasonal about his habits; but that
may be because bull and bear mar
kets are not seasonal.
All that one can say for sure is
that the bargain hunter invariably
appears after period of unfavora-
bic financial weather, feeds on stock
and bond certificates on which, it Is
thought, he fattens for the next
Information, and disappears, to be
seen no more until, in the course of
the cycle, another period of pro-
longed liquidation of securities ar
rives. Sometimes, it is said, his
judgment fails and he finds the diet
debilitating, in which case he is
heard of no more; but mostly he
returns in time, a little more sleek
man the last time.
His occurrence in Wall Street
again is reported III the financial
news. Will the food he finds make
him fat or give him Indigestion?
Let US hope his hunt Will prove as
successful this time as it usually has
in the past, for he is a great and
needed stabiliZer.

published tables giving state debt,
expenditure and revenue for 1916.
Compare our situation, even four
years ago, with that of Pennsylvania
or Illinois. In 1916 New York's
bonded debt was put at $1S6.4OO, 900
and her net debt at $148,74O 900.
Pennsylvania's bonded debt was
$1,072,00O and her net debt was
$4,000. Illinois had funded
debt of $25O,o00 and net debt of
$2,066,000. Other states have
nearly extinguished their debts. We
go on increasing ours.
New York's receipts in 1916 were
$114,701,000 and her expenditures
$121 ,S63,000. Pennsylvania had re-
ceipts of $3s, ,523 900 and expen-
ditures of S41, ,OS3, 900. In Illinois
receipts were $24,4i1, 900 and ex-
psssiitures S24,973,00O. New York
spent three times as much as Penn
syivaria and five times as much as
Illinois. Will any one contend that
our citizens received governmental
benefits three times as extensive as
those received by the people of Penn
sylvalia and five times as extensive
as those received by the people of
Illinois? New York's population ex-
ceeds Pennsylvanias by about 800.
600, and is about 100000 greater
than that of Illinois. But the per
capita ratio fails to account for the
vast discrepancy in cost of govern
ment.
1t is apparent that, compared with
other states, New York is under
taking a service which costs a great
deal too much. In many respects it
Is lavish service And with our
crude and archaic administrative
system operation is wasteful, whether
the service is a necessity or a semi
luxury We can initiate to great ad-
vantage the sounder methods of
other states. Judge Miller is headed
i'll the right direction. Will he even
tually lead us out of our admin
istrative bog?

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is an indisputablc fact that
the appointing power. whom it has the
power of removal, is absolutely re-
sponsible for the quality of service
rendered by the appointees; there fore
Mr.. Wilson cannot escape responsi-
bility for the disgraccful conditions
d closed IN the Slipping Board.
His appointments have been largely
a nondescript assortment Of noncnti-
ties, selected from political lists with
absolutely no regard fer previous ex-
periencc and qual;hca tons for tha
work, resulting in inc.cusahle ineiii
cheney, graft and waste Of millions
of dollars, for which the people 2ay
in burdensome taxes.
NO Unite mind can koor track of the
endless changes in the personnel of
the Shipping Board during and since
the war. 1t has shifted rs rapidly and
continuously as the clouds in the sky,
demonstrating al utter incapacity on
the part of the Administration to
formulate and carry into prac' cal cf-
feet any policy.
II the President had appointed able.
strong men whose Integrity and ability
we're unqucstionablc and, above all,
men who had previous experience in
ship construction and understood the
rudiments of that business, the results
would have been very different and
millions would have been saved lmil-
lions belonging to the people and
wantonly stolen and squandcred). If
he had allowed General Goethals TO
remain at the head of the Shipping
Board with undivided and absolute au
thority 1T would undoubtedly have been
