Don't Quit Before
 The Fight BegIns

Everybody seems to be more or less sore" over the city election held last week. Criminations and re-criminations are hurled back and forth like tennis balls. Every body is blamed for this or for that. The Spectator is blamed by some on both sides for some imagingin- ary misdeed. Hard feelings will invariably follow such long. polt- ical fights. and this is but a con uationof the last primary.
 No doubt the results were not ideal results are never ideal. In fact, God was not satisfied with the results of what is considered as his greatest work He was SO disgnsted that he said. Tt repent eth me that l made man," and judging by the descendants of what he considered his best work
 Noah. it must have been bum job. But it is not results that is of the greatest importance to us every time. but the effort We put forth. Failure to accomplish an ideal is natural, for the mind grows by striving for an ideal, and what seemed ideal when we start ed does not satisfy our increased vision. The fight for better gov crnment for our town and county may not have resulted just as we hoped, but some of Us. are just be- ginning in politics. and must learn. and the campaign was a great les son. Some regretable mistakes were made, but only by making mistakes do we learn to be more perfect.
 Il is the spirit shown in the fight and the character exhibited in de- feat that stamps Us as a hero or pOltroon. Tie Light Brigade failed utterly, and knew when they began their charge that q mistake had been made in order ing them to attack, yet every school boys knows the fame of that heroic body of English cav alrymen who rode to certain fail nre against the encmy'S guns.
 Resides the impetuous bravery of the Light Brigade, one must nave the bulldog tenacity of the mortal Jackson. who stood like a stone wall" against the victo- iious tide of the enemy and turned defeat into victory. The most beloved of southern chief tains went down in 'uncondition- alisurrender. '..Out his skill. ability. goodness. honor and his great ness in defeat makes Lee a house hold name in every Anglo-SaXon Iand The importunate widow won q just verdict from an un- scrupulous judge by eternalIy keeping at il.
 The ability to turn defeat in- to victory counts. Washington was defeated in almost every battle. but he won our independ- ence. To be sore" over a de- feat is an indication of weak character. Brace up. the fight 1 has just commenced.

Wien Catherine Calvert was max
ing pictures for Paramount she
was better known TO theatre-goers
than to film fans. Today, however.
since she has returned to the stage
she IS perhaps better known to the
screen devotees. Miss Calvert has
many claims TO fame. She was
brought into prominence by her
playwright husband, the late Paul
Armstrong. While on the stage she
was featured in Brown of Har-
ward" THE Deep Purple" aRo-
nance of the Underworld" and
THE Escape"
When she entered the picture
world she was said to look enough
like Clara Kimball Young to be her
sister. Now that she has returned
TO the stage to play the leading
feminine role of Donna Sol, oppo-
site Otis Skinner in Blood and
Sand" she is said to have the most
beautiful back on the American
stage.
