effort of a hating batchelor to retain his liberty and the right to wear red neckties against the insidious as- sault of vamps, amateur and profes- sional. He played through what he thought was tragedy and found when finished that it was just the funniest picture ever.
 The story goes that Patrick Murphy, who has freely announced his intention never to wed, offers his services as kidnaper to his best friend whose wife, he believes, has run away with another party. Pat sallies forth and abducts- the wrong woman. This mistaken iden- tity leads to more complica tions than the present White House derby. Of course it winds up with the triangle" floating off in smoke and the impreg nable bachelor slipping an engag cement ring over fair finger in the fore ground.
 It's a Selznick picture, the kind you see advertised in the Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, Country Gentleman, Red Book, Green Book, Pho to Play and dozen other leading magazines. It is directed by Wesley Ruggles, who certainly knows tfs comedy drama game from title to final fads out.

A Veritable Beau Brummel, He Secures Laughs By Methods Which De-
 light Spectators

There are as many types of comedians as there are ways of cooking eggs. Their name is legion. From the English music hall type, whose trademark is red nose and a pair of baggy trousers, all the way through the list which includes circus clowns, slap-stick artists, exagger- ated character types, etc, until we reach the top--those aristocrats of comedy, the light comedians. Prominent among these is found owen Moore, who is scheduled to appear as the star in the latest Selz- nick picture, Sooner or Later,'' which comes to the Alcazar theatre for one week beginning tomorrow.
 Mir Moore, who needs no introduction to the American public, is of the very highest typo of comedy players.

kENpALLs FRANK PROPOSITION.

Nate Kendall proposes to publish
his campaign expense account on
May I, and again on Juno I, thru
the press OF the state. He made that
announcement at Waterloo and
added: 81 trust my opponents in the
race for the republican nomination
for governor will do likewise" Mr..
Kendall deplored the lavish use OF
money in campaigns for public Of
fee and remarked that ne does not
regard the governorship Of Iowa as a
purchasable commodity.
Mr.. Kendall's proposition to pub
llsh his expenses Is q frank way of
coming to the voters for their ap-
prevail Of his expenditures. It should
DO willingly met by all the candi-
dates. At any rate willingly or un-
willingly 1t should be met. OF
course a reasonable amount of mon
ey expended by a candidate and his
will be found with such expenditure.
It Is not the amount within reason
but expenditure Of larger sums and
the question of who furnished them
that interest the voters.
TIL echoes of a campaign wherein
vast amount of money was spent
for a certain candidate and the later
revelations of where some Of II came
from which are still ringing IN the
state, make Mr.. Kendalrs proposal
timely and appropriate.
There IS &c suggestion II Mr..

WHY NOT BEGIN RIGHT?

The outlaw" strike Is to fail. In
the end the difficulties will be arbi-
trated. Already appeal is made to
railroad board by both sides OF the
struggle. There isn't the slightest
doubt that arbitration and compro-
mise will be the end of it. The
brotherhoods can not afford to lose
the strength OF the boilers and will
be glad to have them back in line.
The boilers will soon be glad to get
back into line; and then, perhaps,
for a time, there will be the SEM
blance OF peace.
But will it last? Does the settle
ment of the row between the legal"
and the illegal" wings assure the
public of a continuation Of Industrial
and commercial peace? VIII other
revolts break out between legal"
union authorities and illegal" insur-
gents to threaten prosperity and pro-
duction and cause loss of those not
involved as partisans? More, shall
the threat of a brotherhood legal
strike continue to hang heavy over
tho public head?
As q matter of simple justice to all
the people and interests of this coun-
try and as plain common sense why
not Just law governing strikes in es-
sential industries and particularly in
vital public utilities? Why not the
compulsory arbitration that labor
demanded and argued for within a
very short period past? Why not set
Element Of Industrial disputes fairly
on the evidence by just and disin-
terested court established for that
wise purpose? If after weeks Of war
and loss arbitration and compromise
are the only way out why fight and
suffer loss and disturb production
cause suffering and penalize not only
the fighters but the whole country
Why not in the name of good sense
and good government begin where
the row must leave off.

must know and do to successfully
hold up (not DOWN each job leading
to your ambition.
With this In front Of you ask your
pay the pr1oe In study and work for
success. II not, You have no real am
billion, merely an apathetis wish. II
you are willing to pay the price, go
to It and your ambition will event
ually become an actually.
Now let's think of tact.
II you want to get the reputation
for being tactful learn to listen. Tact
lessness usually consists Of saying
the wrong thing. The more you say
the more chance you take Of saying
the wrong thing.
The next step in the development
Of tact Is to cultivate a consideration
OF other peoples feelings. This will
make you pleasant company. for you
win naturally wish to make people
feel at ease. This Is just common
place thinking Of others.
The next steap in becoming tact
full is to avoid personalities. You
cannot discuss other people without
running grave risks Of saying things
, which might hurt. Even II you do
not adversely criticise you will be
misQuoted and the result Is the same.
To continue: induce others to talk
about themselves in preference to
talking about yourself. We all like
the subtle flattery of being asked to
say what we think and to tell our
opinions-so 1t is tackful to ask
others for their own opinions.
Finally, don't be domineering.
When making statement or OBJ
jecting to one made. use the sugges-
ton method. Instead Of saying, You
are wrong" say, "Of course, there is
lot in what you say. but under
certain circumstances you may not
be right" That is tact If you are in
doubt at any time as to what to do
or say 1t is usually most tactful to
look pleasant and keep still.
