UNIQUE CHARACTERIZATION
IN "SUDS" TO BE SHOWN

Having won the hearts Of the world
and established herself as the greatest
exponent Of child characters on the
stage and screen, the ever versatile
Mary Pickford will be seen tomorrow
at the Palace airdome theater, in
"Suds" United Artists photoplay of
an entirely different nature of any
thing, in which she has heretofore
appeared.
The theme Of "Suds" is based on
Me Thumb" which she presented for a
long time at the Empire theater III
New York as we'll as on her triumphal
tours Of America. 1t is from the dual
pen of Frederick Fem and Richard
Pryce, two brilliant young English
authors.
For several years Miss Pickford has
had the character of Amanda Afflick
in mind and has been waiting the op-
portunity to present it in the proper
manner and with the proper settings.
Since the completion Of "Pollyan-
ma" in the latter part of 1919. Miss
Pickford has been at work with her
staff of assistants on "Suds.' Oven
four months were spent in the adapta-
ton of the story for the screen by
several of the best scenario writers
in the photoplay profession, and this
versatile little star went over the en-
tire story again and again, word fol
word, until in its typewriter form il
was a photoplay gem.
Miss Pickford in "Suds" is an en-
tirely new Mary Pickford. The play
is screamingly funny throughout ex
cepting for the bit Of pathos which i:
introduced in her hopeless love affai1
which is really only in the flights o.
her very vivid imagination.
This production will show off th'
dramatic and artistic ability of th'
little star to an advantage never seer
before

WILSON FIRST
Continued from Page ~

in the platform and to see that the con-
can endorse.
This is not saying that President
Wilson is trying to nominate w. g..
McAdoo or Mitchell Palmer. One
thing, however, is certain, and that is
that anyone interested in watching the
effect of President Wilson's hand in
this convention need only watch the
Palmer delegates and listen to the out
givings of cambridge Colby and Post
master General Sidney M. Burleson of
Texas, and Carter Glass of Virginia.
For instance, the "slight moist" at
titude of President Wilson is disclosed
in Burleson's interview given out at
Los Angeles saying that the Volstead
enforcement provisions of the dry act
are "absurd" The presidents desire
for vindicaton in the league of ma
tions and the treaty business is dis?
closed in the plank which Carter Glass
brings with him. The handling of the
difficult foreign situation, including
this country's part in the Russian
blockade, has been left to Bainbridge
Colby, who will try to answer the pro-
test voiced by the women pickets who
have been marshalled hereby Lucy
Branham for the American Women's
Committee for Russian Relief
RAILWAY ISSUE OUT
President Wilson has views on other
questions which will come up as cam
paign issues. The government owner
ship of railroads is one of them. He
is opposed to such declaration in the
platform even though he knows the
issue will be forced by the third party
under the leadership of Robt. M. La
Toilette.
On practically all the above issues
President Wilson is opposed by VIM. j.
Bryan. Bryan does not care much
about the government ownership and
the league issues, but on the "moist"
issue he is ready to fight to the death.
So there is bound to be a clash and
test of strength between the Wilson
administration on the one side and
Bryan on the other.

BURNED SCHOOL

COlOred EaStside School Has
Historic Past; NetU One viii
BE Rebuilt Immediately; In
SUrUnce.

The Eastside school which burned
to the ground early yesterday morning
was an historic landmark in the city
of Ell Centre.
This school was the first school
building erected in Ell Centre, al
though it was not erected on the spot
where it burned.
After the growth of the city de-
manded larger building it was
moved to Olive street and was there
changed into the first high school
building in Ell Centre. Several resi-
dents of the city at this time who
were among the first to receive di-
plomas in Ell Centre, went to school
and graduated in that building. Later
it was moved to the Eastside.
The burning is mysterious. it being
the concensus of opinion that the col
ored people object to being segregated
hence applied the torch. 1t is prob
able that an investigation will be con-
Quoted.

The democratic platform is still in
the embryonic stage, but with the
prospects of its presentation tomor-
row to the convention when the plat
form builders will be reassembled. AL
though many of the minor planks are
settled, some in principle and only a
few others in phraseology as well, the
most troublesome and major problems
remained unsolved when the subcom-
mittee who were preparing a tentative
draft reconvened.
BY late afternoon or night Chairman
Glass said. he hopd it would go finally
before the full committee where there
were prospects Of long spirited dis
cussions. With late session tonight
the leaders hoped to bring completed
product before the convention tomor-
row. The league of nations and pro
hibition remained the big barriers. The
agreement for the adjustment of the
league question is said to be in a fail
way to realization.
AT SEA ON PROHIBITION
On prohibition the subcommittee
remained largely at sea. All sugges
tions for a wet plank which declare fol
the repeal Of the 18th amendment OF
the annullment of the Volstead en-
forcement law are said to be virtually
thrown. overheard by the tacit consen
of the subcommittee, but the fight fol

some sort of a prohibition declaration
in the other is stir in progress. Sec
retary Colby is reported as favorins

fcance because of his recent confer

dental nomination.

or said. at is true the republican ma
tional convention turned back the po-
litical clock a quarter of a century;
that it recalled the days of Mark Han
ma; that reaction is written in large
letters across its political horizon.
"The Chicago comedy, where candi-
dates were permitted to wear each
other out and incidentally to weary
the delegates into state of political
stupefaction, pending the final work
from the bosses, would have been
amusing had it not been pathetic and
of serious moment TO the country.
"But Notwithstanding all the stage
play and the camouflage, a respect
able ticket was presented, though pre-
sented 'hindpart foremost That fact
we must bear in mind.
"We must further bear in mind that
a war could not be fought with four
and a half million men under arms and
an expenditure of 25 billions of dol,
lars money raised partly by onerous
tax burdens, without irritating many
persons and leaving much that will be
criticised. The public unfortunately
is prone to listen to criticism in pre-
ference to explanations and encom-
iums."

DROVE FRENCH FROM HAITI
jean Jacques DessaIines, First Emperor
Of the Island, Slave Who
Became a Tyrant.

Jean Jacques Dessallnes, known as
Jean Jacques I, Emperor Of Haiti, was
a rough and illiterate negro Of in
defatigable energy who, in 1901 to 1903.
defied the French general. Leclerc,
brother-in-law of Napoleon Bopaparte,
and French army Of $4,000 troops,
finally forcing the French to evacuate
the island in November, 1903.
Dessalines was born in 1853 at
Grand Riviere, Haiti, and sold as a
slave ut Cape Francois. now called
Cape Haitien. In 1901, he became one
Of the trusty subordinates Of Francois
Dominique Toussaint, with the rank of
acknowledgement.
Tn 1903 DeSsalines was appointed
governor for life. inaugurating his rule
with n bloOdthirsty massacre Of all
the whites left on the island after it's
evacuation. In the same year he pro-
claimed himself emperor and was
crowned with great pomp. His SUBJ
jects soon grew tired Of the tyranny
and cruel despotism with which he
ruled the island, and Dessalines was
assassinated in 1906 by two Of his
officers, Henri Christophe and Alex
andre Sabcs Potion. the first estab-
fishing himself as president in the
northern part of Haiti, and the second
ms president Of the southern part.
