1 ADJUSTMENTS ! GUY BATES POST AT
 THE ELKS TOMORROW

Guy Bates Post, the great American actor, comes to the Elks theater tomor- row in the most significant dramatic success of Nhis brilliant career, The Masquerader." The play was written by John Hunter Booth from the fas- cinating novel of the same name by Katherine Cecil Thurston, which has had so much vogue. The producer is Richard Walton Fully, who has pro- vided a most elaborate scenic equip ment and an admirable supporting company.
 Post has triumphed in "The Mas querader' for two seasons, playing lengthy runs in the principal eastern and western cities. He also toured Australia with tremendous success with the original conpany-the same which Will be seen in this city-and called forth wonderful eulogies from the Aus tralian critics who unanimously de- clared that Posts appearances were the most important ever registered in the Antipodes by visiting player
 Included in Posts support are such weil-known players as Alice John FL wyn Eaton, Clarence Handyside Au- drey Anderson, Reginald Darlington, Ruby Gordon, Katherine Raynor, John Peers. Gerry Cornell and others

that beauty is not always an asset to an actress
 The actress that has been blessed with fair measure of good looks, says Miss de Remer, .labors under the ! handicap imposed by the casting direc- tor who insists that she play only such parts that afford her a chance to look her prettiest. The best parts written are those in which character actors are
 called upon to play. It is true of the spoken drama, and the same holds good in screen productions. I want people to say of my work she is more willing to cover her features with makeup and play strong character parts than she is to be "dolled up' in silks and satins and walk on and off a scene like a manilSin in a fashion parade.' A young girl going on the screen if she expects to build up a fol- lowing, should strain every point to get roles that require acting and pass up the opportunity to be a baby doll.
 In my experience I have found that
 in a mere semblance of part, where
 have a chance to impress the audi
 ences through real acting, I am re-
 membered longer than where l come

 that may have cost five hundred dol
 lars

French labor took exactly the

France in it's Russian policy, but, like
England, he has received an. agent

The effort of the French news

United States is supporting France has
a double object. In the first place
they want to create sentiment in

Just as the world was expecting
peace between Russia and Poland,
France exploded a new bombshell by
recognizing the government set up in
south Russia by General Wrangel, an
officer of the old czarist regime.
English labor, fearing that Lloyd
George might be influenced by the
action of France, called together
what was probably the most import
ant conference in the history Of the
British labor movement. All elements
were represented, and resolution
was adopted "hailiAt with satisfac-
ton the Russian declaration in favor
Of the complete independence Of Pol
and" and pledging the British labor
party to resist any form Of military
Intervention against soviet Russia.

WICHITA. Kan, Aug. 26.-The
candidate in the Republican prima-
ries that trade unionists and farmers
voted for against Governor Allen re-
ceived $4,000 votes. Aliens friends
predicted that but 10000 votes would
be recorded.
The Plain Dealer, published in this
city. declares that the big opposition
vote against Allen and the non-par-
tisan activity Of the workers mean
the defeat of the governor next No
vember.
THE papers of the state" says the
Plain Dealer, "have found it conven-
lent not to report the result of the
primary, as they have done in recent
years, in order to keep from the pub
lie the full knowledge of the drub-
biHg received by the administration.
1T goes without saying that the
labor farmer non-partisan forces
have established themselves as a fac

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 26.-When
all the elements connected with the
recent primaries are considered, Gov
ernor Aliens widely-heralded vic
tory' is not supported by facts.
There were several candidates
against Governor Allen, and the
showing these candidates made, and
the feeling against Allen, causes the
Kansas trade unionists to be jubilant.
A few weeks before the primaries
the trade unionists and farmers join
ed in 4 non-partisan movement to
defeat Allen. The non-partyites en-
tered the primaries poorly equipped
to cope with the powerful political
machine behind the governor. His
oponents had but the skeleton of an
organization, were without funds, pc
litical experience or discipline that
comes with unity of purpose. An
other factor against them was the
general neglect of citizens to awaken
to the importance of primary elec-
tions.
Il these" conditions are ignored,
Governor Allen won victory. But
these conditions did exist, and the
unionists and farmers declare that
they will be changed. Throughout
the state they are perfecting their
non-partisan organizations, strength.
ening their lines, agitating and dis.
tributing literature. Between now
and the November elections a selfim.
posed discipline will be developed,
and when the votes are counted Gov
ernor Aliens name will surely be
among the "also-ran" list.
The trade unionists and farmers
insist that Allen can be- defeated:
that the sentiment in this state is
anti-Allen, and that they will crys.

Drive the mOney-changers out OF

Wisconsin, where the issue between
the people and privilege is sharply
drawn. James Thompson, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States senator, is compelling
his opponent, Senator Irvine L. Len

holding him strictly to his record.
Mr.. Thompson is making his can
vass on a platform that pledges fealty
to Senator Robert M. La Toilette and
embodies the planks that We're sub
mitted by the Wisconsin delegation
to the Republican national conven-
ton at Chicago. He demands the re-
peal Of the Cummins- Esch bill, which
Senator Lenroot defends as "con-
structive legislation" and insists de-
mocratic operation is the ultimate So
luton of the railroad problem.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-since rail-

managers and financial oracles have
changed their tune.
Before the advance the public was
assured that higher rates were nee
essary to save the roads from the
junk pile. In a public statement
President Gompers declared that the
solution was not in increased rates.
but rather in return to the genius
of railroading. The oracles and wise
men laughed at the trade unionist.
Rates were increased and now the
public is told that the railroads will
order new equipment sparingly and
that every attention will be paid to
repairing worn cars and locomotives,
to scientific car loading and to speed
ing up the movement of freight cars
| that now average less than one hour
a mile during the year.
Equipment will not be purchased.
it is stated, because of foreign COM
petition which increases prices.
, The public is urged to be patient
if service is not forthcoming as a
result Of a billion and a half rate
raise.
