Productions Reviewed

A band of cowboys apd western
moving picture heroes lassoed
Routt county in the ring of the mo-
ton picture industry recently when
the last barrier of Colorado's sue
cess as a fit setting for extensive
screen production collapsed. Wild
and woolly western drama bulged
the eyes of the rancher of Steam
boat Springs and left him breath
less when daring escapades carried
a moving picture throng over crags,
through difficulties, shooting en-
counters and stampedes and left
them alive and beautiful when the
heroine fell into the hero's arms.
The product has been exhibited be-
fore the New York managers who
are said to have gone into ecstasies
over the wonderful natural scenic
effects. The Art-O- Graf Film Co.,
which produced the films, plan to
turn out six Colorado-made pictures

New Motor Trucks
New Overland Sedan

Columbus, O., March Is. 1920
The new Overland four sedan, which
ran day and night during the week Of
the auto show, finished with a wond-
erful record, says C. T. Dunkle. presi-
dent of the Overland Dunkle company.
Not once did the motor stop running
during the five days.
During this time the car carried to
or from the show 1896 passengers,
covered 902. miles, was running q to-
tai of 120 hours. was idleing a total
Of 81 hours.
Only one quart of oil and forty-five
gallons Of gasoline were used, which
averages 20.4 miles per gallon, includ.
ing the 81 hours the motor was idle
ing.
This wonderful record OF a grueling
test shows the Overland Four offers
the public car which has NO equal
for economical performance.
The prominent feature Of the car
in the mind of the public is It's easy
riding qualities, 1t seems to float on
road. said many who rode in It.
This same sedan made a run of IT,
miles. on 61h gallons Of gas, averag-
ing 20 3-3 miles per gallon.
Mrs. c.. W. Thompson, superinten-
dent OF the DeLaval Separator Co..
with headquarters at Pueblo, driving
an Overland Four touring. reports
record of 27h miles per gallon over
Colorado roads.

must yield something OF It's strength
to the new internationalism.
And thus he has stated and re-
peated that the unamcnded league
stands for peace, that he stands for
lscace that America must stand
for peace, and that If tho covenant
is adopted immaculate and the pco-
pie accept his verdict at the polls
peace will reign. This is so much like
1916 that members OF Congress dis
miss it with derisive smile.
Whether the President is again
nominated or not, it is certain that
lie will Influence the convention in
l;inging about an indor scmeut of his
own attitude and that of his party
in tho senate on the peace treaty. 1t
is regarded here as certain that HIS
administration will BE- Endorsed and
that those who insisted that the lcug
Tic be Amcricanizcd will be den6unc-
ed. And hence it is considered no
less certain that the Democratic par
~ will contend in the campaign that
If its chieftain had had his way ell
ire there would be no future wars.
In the meantime Secretary Daniels
is clamOring for 4 larger navy--a
n1vy as large rs England's by 1926.
Troubles arc brewing with Mexico,
due to what members of the Senate
and House declare to be a weak and
facilitating policy. There is a grow
ing impr ession that the United Stat
es cannot afford to have rapinc and
disorder and barbarism at it's front
door and wish ii away by "Watchful
waiting Japan is extending its
suzorainty over Eastern Asia and
showing its ambition to control the

SECRETARY BAKERS TRIBUTE.
(Associatcd Negro Prcss.)

Associated Negro llcssJ
Secretary Of War Baker expresses
a very deep regard for the Associated
Negro Press and the newspapers own
ed and directed by members Of our
race.
In a recent interview he declared
he was very gratiiied for the practl-
cal help given the War Department of
the government by the Associated Ne
gro Press and the races newspapers
during the progress Of the recent
Worlds war.
This is very gracious Of Secretary
Baker and wholly III keeping with
the broad spirit that has ever been
part Of his mental and political equip
ment. 1t must be said in his fav
or that his public career has always
been characterized by Il temper of
broad mindedncss which has consti
tuted him one Of the unique and out
standing figures in present day
American public life. 1t is no new
thing for our race to see a
clear way to do its duty i'll the
see a clear way to do it's duty in the
crisis of great national emer gencies.
Time and time again, we have laid
SCll lhC VI q VA
sacrifice and sailed forth with q
song on our lips; and fought, bled
and died in the defense Of the flags
and the principles which uphold the
spirit Of our common constitution.
BY no stretch of contention, how
ever, do these facts divest the War
Secretary's grand tribute Of its whole
someness and fine spirit. We are
thankful for the testimony he offers
and more than glad that there is in
HIM comfortable abiding place for
the impulses of that finer American
ism which makes for the enduring
power Of the great American Repub.
lie.
May Secretary Baker live long and
prosper, is our prayer.
BIG BUSINESS.
We don't know enough about the
workings of big business. We mean
business done on a big scale. The
kind Of business that brings power
that makes for prestige, that operates
to establish substantial and perma-
hont success.
IL 10 HlSH liiie we were learning
same Of its secrets. We are losing
raoney-1ots Of it-by standing by
and letting the other fellow make
ali the money worth the while among
us and then hand a certain small
percentage OF 1t back to us in the
shape OF organizations that exercise
a sort OF quasi philanthropic super
vision over oMr social welfare
Because money is the tin god Of

WILSON IS CANDIDATE ON THE
LEAGUE PLATFORM.
Promises to Keep Country Out or
War, IL CoscnanC lic Made Is
Adopted Unchanged.

Washington, April.-President Will
son is flirting with the Democratic
denomination for the presidency and
it is believed here that his failure
to demand that his name be withdrawn
from the primary ballot in Georgia
is evidence that he intends to run
again OH a platform Of ratifying the
League OF nations covenant without
change in order that he may there
by keep the United States out Of
war. =
1t is true that the Presidents name
vas actually withdrawn at the last
minute by some of the signers Of the
petition entering it on the primary
ballot but not at the bchest Of Mr..
Wilson himself, who remained deter
mined not to commit himself.
Thus the party leaders are
fayed with the same diem
ma as at the now famous Jackson
day banquet in January when they
waited impatiently and in vain for
sumo word from the party chief
which would take him out Of the race
and relieve them Of embarrassment.
Their several candidates must now
&c On under the shadow of the belief
that Woodrow Wilson will seek a
third term.
Throughout the treaty fight, con
sistently in favor of ratification OF
the convention without the slightest
additional protection Of the interests
c: the United States, the President
has even refused to accede to any
separate peace the majority in Con
gress might determine upon. He dis
missed Secretary Lansing as the
result Of his having said that the
American people would never accept
the league If they understood it's
meaning. He rehuked Senator Hitch
cock and others for breathing a spir
i: of compromise. He alone is respon
sible for the defeat Of the treaty as
amended by the Lodge reservations.
1t is therefore now conceded by
the Democrats in Congress that he
will not be swcrved from his purpose
Of insisting that he should be upheld
in spite Of the action OF the large NIT
jority of the Senate to the contrary
and Of carrying the fight to the coun
try in the presidential campaign. He

The National Association for the
Advancement OF Colored People to-
Iay announced that fifteen Of the
seventeen presidential candidates fail
cl to reply to Il QUESTIONABLE sent
item by tho Association on February
18th, and repeated on March IL, ask
ing their views on seven main issues
which colored people regard as fun
damcntal The QUESTIONABLE asked
whether they were in favor Of the
enactment Of federal laws against
lvnching; whether they would advo
cato Congressional enforcement Of
the Fourteenth Amendment by rcduc
ton Of representation Of states which
d;sfranchisc their citizens, or
whether they would advocate as an
alternative the appointment Of Unit
ed States Commissioners to enforce
tic Fifteenth Amendment or whsth
er they would cndcavor to bring
about the abolition of jim Grow cars
in interstate traffic: whether they
would urge National aid to eleme MT
airy education without discriminate

GERS in tho army in proportion to
their numbers in the population;
, whether they would abolish racial
segregation in the civil service OF
the United States; whether they
would withdraw armed or other in
reference with the independence OF
Haiti.
The two candidates who replied
to the Associations questionnairc
were Senators Harding and PoindeX
ter, the former stating that it was
not consistent with his views to take
up the cateEorica! uucstions asked Ivy
the Association, that conventions are
called rpou to crunciatc platforms
aud policies and tha' the "nrlida'c
selected must be expected to stand
on the. platform thus made. Senators

AMERICA TO FRANCE.
t-'.<* ~ J
Americas monument gift to the Re
pablo Of France is an eloquent OK
preston of American good will.
France is the best and widest loved
among modern nations. Her history
IL an illuminating record OF the mod
ern social impulse to broaden tho
scope and to strengthen the spirit
of the modern mans desire to real
ize high social designs; and the
American gift is presented as n tok-
Oh of the intimate regard In which
tho United States cmbodies its love
for Liberty and its reverence for
faith.
Our race has an abiding and loving
interest in the fortunes Of France.
This fact softencd the bitterness that
mo 10y
us when the United States entered
the great world war. France was
bleeding white. That meant death
for liberty-loving France and set
ting back of the hands OF the clock
Of progress. In this sacred moment
We stillcd the mutterings Of our out
ragged souls and went into the con
flict hell bent" to do and die that
Liberty might live.
We have strong reason to be proud
OF our war record. We held our
heads high and our faces to the east.
There was 10 tailoring IN our ranks
there was no misgivings in our hearts
and our blood Redeemed the streams
and made more fertile the hills and
plains of beloved France.
Preachment and deed are the OF
spring OF the true Democracy. 1t Is
because France does what she preach
es that men-black and white, love
her. She is socially honest. Not in
the specific sense but in the deeper
and more original ways that make
Tor a permanencc Of life and spirit
not to be found in the shallower ex
iprosSion of high sounding preach
ments.
The closer the American people
get to France the broader will grow
the American life. The United States
has much to learn--Much to learn in
the matters Of government; Much to
learn in the question Of social val
ues; much to learn concerning the
deeper purposes OF lifa Standing
near TO the people who have come the
nearest to solving the complex prob
lens Of the modern social order we
may learn q great lesson Of social
truth and hence live the longer on
the plane of truly great social or
ganiZation.
Long live France! Long live Ameri-
ca!
