ADJUSTMENTS

Here is something no one who en-
joys good clean fun can afford to
miss. We don't need to tell you that
"Officer 666" was one of the most
successful farces ever produced on
the stage Everybody knows that
But we can assure you that as mo-
ton picture this hilarious play which
will be shown at the Palace theater
Wednesday, is even better because it
has been given swifter action and
broader scope than is possible on the
stage. Besides Tom Moore is the
star in this production, and know
what that means. Tom Moore can
pack more laughs into a foot of film
than any comedian we know of and
he surpasses all his past records in
"Officer &c., Bring the whole fam
lily. This is the kind of picture that
everybody can enjoy.
"THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR"
Last night Murphy's Comedians
gave the first performance of "The
Almighty Dollar" to a good sized

one of the strongest dramas yet pre-
sented.
The play is wonderful and the act
ing excellent. All of the characters
were well cast, and there are some
very dramatic scenes which afford the
actors a chance to extend themselves.
The work of Martha Gibbs in the
difficult double role of herself as the
daughter, and at the same time carry
ing the past of her mother-one sweet,
pure and innocent, the other sophis-
ticated and wise in the ways Of the
world-earned the approval of all who
saw the play.
This play runs today and Wednes-

OUR CHEAP" LEGISLATURE
(From Muskogee Phoenix)

(From Muskogee Phoenix)
The state senate has overwhelming
ly passed the bill that would pro-
vide hospital facilities for the hun
dreds of Oklahoma boys. manned and
wounded while fighting in France, and
now dying and wasting away for the
want of proper care.
The measure that carried in the
senate yesterday is the same as that
defeated in the house a few days be-
fore at the dctation of a republican
party boss. But although once beaten,
the bill is far from dead. The patri-
otic people OF Oklahoma. whether
they be republican or democrat, win
not permit political expediency to can
eel the debt Of gratitude the state and
nation owes these men who have CIV
en- so mucn and ask so little. The
measure once more will come before
the house and it will indeed go evil
with that political Nero who dares to
call thumbs down"
II is doubtful If it again encounters
the opposition it met before. Until
few hours before the time set for
vote upon its passage even its few
honest opponents were ready to con-
cede that it would succeed. Then from
the star chamber OF the party bosses
came the dictum. The bill was brut-
ally killed, there was apparently no
attempt to conceal the fact that ii
was to be chloroformed under or
ders" there were few explanations and
no apologies. Almost the only express
sion of regret came from Victor
Locke, author of the bill, who, in
disgust, rendered his resignation.
1t is true that the democrats will
seek to make political capital Of the

Governor Hartness's Plans.
CRarre TimesD


That Governor Hardness has in mind
some sort of a program looking toward the
development of industries in Vermont Is
the information gathered from the Spring
field Reporter. published in the governors
home town. The contemporary says:
Now that he (Hartness) has been in
Office several months. he has come IN
closer touch with state problems and has
the highway situation well in hand, he Is
returning to his original idea of industrial
progress for Vermont and is planning to
issue early in October the first publica-
ton of a state policy for the establish
ment of new industries and the manage
ment of existing plants.
Ii is pleasing information that Governor
Hardness has not forgotten what Candi-
6infc Hardness spoke so freely about-the
DEVELOPMENT of Vermont industrially-and
that in due time he will make known some
plans for the building up of present indus
tries and the requirement of new indus
tries. The people of Vermont quite gen
orally nut much stock in what Candidate
Hardness said about a platform of indus
trial progress in Vermont. and their faith
was heightened by the known success
which Hartness, the manufacturer, had
achieved in Springfield. They have
waited patiently for the propaganda on
Industrial progress albeit well aware that
the times were not at all prOpitious for
putting the plans into actual operation.
It's certainly time to think about what
Vermont is going to do when the country
gets back to normally there's plenty of
time for thinking. And, therefore. Gov
crnor Hardness could scarcely pick a
more propitious time for the disSemina-
ton of information. The people are in
an eXDectant mood.
