Eugene O'Brien m"His Wife s
 Money 'AtALcazar This Week
By ANNE JORDAN

Eugene oHfien, gorgeously attired in woodmans outfit. and playing the part of young hard-fisted western CT, Richard Flint, is the wonderful at traction at the Alcazar theatre all this week.
 Richard Flint lives in the open west and fights his way as he goes. On a trip east, he stumbles into society, and meets the spoiled darling of the smart est ultra o-count set. He loves the girl atN sight, and she. pleased at the contrast he offers with the milk-f fed men she has been reared among, mar ries him. But the little wife requires luxury, which at the time he was un- able to give, and with her own money demands it.
 Flint will not live on his wife's

| money so she runs away from him, and back to the old life she returns. Flint follows later and by playing the market most carefully he manages to financially ruin his wife, and the man who tried to rob him of her. The wife needed only the sight of her big, strong husband again to realize how empty her life had been without him. She is glad to return with him, and live on his money.
 The play is different from any in which Mr O'Brien has ever been cast. He has at last found a play that sets him off to an advantage. The settings are beautiful, with natural outdoor scenes that are splendid. Zena Keefe plays the wife and proves an interest ing diversion between scenes wherein Eugene appears. /H

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
OUT OF WORk

A lot of factories and mills are
closing-more will close, l fear, and
countless sad-eyed Jacks and Jills are
out of work, and winters here. And
they have seen their fortunes smile,
with wages high, and more in sight;
1 wonder il they saved their pile, or
blew the roubles left and right.
wonder If they read these rhymes, and
took the moral to their souls, and
sailed down the helpful dimes, until
the dimes made ample rolls? If they
did this they need not weep when fac
tory pulleys cease to turn; in peace
and comfort they may sleep, and in
their stoves the slate will burn. And
they can say, I'VE need a rest, VIC
need a season of repose; let honest
toll 60 galley west, while we sit here
and bake our toes; we have the guild
ers down in brine, our credits good
and all is we'll; why should we muir
muir and repine because we're laid
off for a spell?" But if they burned
the useful bucks in booming times,
they're sad today; their children cry
for pie and ducks, and must be salts

STEPPED in woe, and now bewail their
present lot; I hate to say, 81 told you

The Legislative Session

At conference last week of Governor-elect
McCray and Republican members of the general
assembly the thought was expressed that the
people of Indiana do not want many laws enacted,
but want old ones amended and few good new
ones passed
At the beginning of every session this opinion
is voiced but before the assembly has proceeded
very far the hopper is loaded with bills. Some
members fear they are not doing their duty by
their constituents unless they introduce bills !;
and others, who are adverse to sending up meas
ures, forced to introduce bills which their
constituents send in
1t is impossible to check the introduction of
bills, but they can be killed quickly in commit
tee. If petty measures met this fate, the nuis-
ance would be curbed. 1t also would give men,
bers time and opportunity to study bills of major
Importance. These are the measures that de-
serve careful consideration, for they affect the
welfare of the whole state. If the legislative
track could be kept clear for them, the whole
state would reap a benefit.

years he lived and worked.
l do not make friends any too

looked the part and impressed it right
into you.

1t isn't mere misfortune that browns

Service to the American republic seems to be the
motto of the man.
We may feel assured that this is the spirit in
which he will soon assume office and which will
characterize his administration. Practically it
will assert itself in new feeling of mutual help
fulness and cooperation between congress and
the White House, factor that has been lacking
for many months, and has resulted in the block
ing of legislation, from which the country has
suffered in no small degree.
The restoration of harmonious relations be-
tween the chief executive and the legislative
branch of the government is greatly to be de-
sired in period in which important problems of
reconstruction and readjustment have been
pushed to the front sharply. The cooperation of
the two branches of the government will hasten
the enactment of laws to remove threatening
