Where the People
 May Have a Hearing
MT. Hoover

Tucson, Ariz.. Feb. 3, 1920. Editor, Phoenix Republican.
 Dear Sir:
 issue of February 2, it would seem to one in the middle of the road that you credit him with rather doubtful virtues. You mention particularly his wonderful foresig ghtedness in that he foresaw we should not only enter the war on the side of the entente but that he talked and worked to bring about such an end. This was shortly after the war began and at a time when our government, particularly President Wilson, WAS urging us to re- main neutral in thought as well as in deed. Why credit Mir.

 For the sake of argument we will say Mir. Hoover is not pro British. What then prompted him to take the stand he did and use his office, or position, whatever it was. but prominent Fun- derstand, against the expressed wish and command of the president and at time when the central powers and their followers here were accusing us of being very pro-entente?

 Paid in Advance" is essentially d love story, a powerful emotional thunderbolt, told amid the most grip ping action, and interspersed with the most daring realism and astounding awe inspiring suspense. Allen J. Holu- bar, whose creative genius made pos sible The Heart of Humanity" and The Right to Happiness directed the destinies of Paid In Advance" and with that same skill of production and aptness in directly unfolding his theme with the most telling effect. he has evolved in Paid In Advance a story which gives full sway to the remark able ability of Dorothy Phillips, as well as her exceptionally strong sup porting cast.
 The story revoIves around a young girl, lured to Dawson, journey which caused the untimely end of her father, and destination which found her stunned to learn that she has been the victim of a carefully laid plot to force her Into a Ilfe In the dance nallS. IL is in this environment that true love comes to her heart-a love that prompted her to make the fight for her honor. and a love which awo<e in the heart of the man who adored her, the sleeping spark of manhood, to fan it into blazing furnace of stern de- termination and iron resolve. and to make of these two strawS on the sea of fate, two of the most fawned on children of the goddess of happiness.
