Hon. Thomas 81 Watson, the dis
tinguished United States senator from
Georgia, is an historian and his.
torian is supposed to be scrupulously
accurate in his statements.
He has written a History of France,
"a History of Napoleon, History of
Andrew Jackson and history of
other things, so IN the accuracy of
statement he is supposed to place
great weight
Indeed, with his little passage-at-
arms with the distinguished senator
from New York, Mr.. Wadsworth, in
the accuracy of statements Mr.. Wat
son pays himself the following eulogy:
sMr. President, am not in the
habit of making statements which
can not sustain. Men who for 80 years
met me at the bar know that; men
who for 80 years met me on the hust-
sings know that: Senators who meet
me in debate here are beginning to
learn that"
Here fellows his remarkable state
ment:
How many Senators know that a
private soldier was frequently shot
by his officers because of some COM
plant against officers insolence; and
that they had gallows upon which
men we're hanged, day after day,
without court-martiaI or any other
form of trial? How many Senators
know that? I had and have the pho
tograph of one of those gallows, upon
which 81 white boys had already
been executed at sunrise when the
photograph was taken; and there
were others waiting in the camp jails
to be hanged morning after morning"
Twenty-one white boys were hang
ed without court martial or the shad-
ow of any sort of trial before sunrise
and this was followed morning after
morning.
The distinguished historian does
not say how many negroes or Indians
were hanged, but says that twenty
one white boys were hanged before
sunrise, nor does he say that the
hanging stepped at sunrise, SO the
number hanged after that hour and
the number other than white boys
is problematical
For fear of inaccuracy of state
ment let us presume that only
twenty-one were hanged morning
after morning before sunrise, and as
the army Of the United States was in
France for nearly two years some
idea of the number of our brave
youths hanged because of the mere in
science of those decorated with a lit
tie brief authority, may be ascertain
ed.
And for the verification of the
truth of this statement the historian,
now occupying an exalted seat in the
senate of the United States, comes
forward with the proof-a kodak
picture of a gallows.
And no doubt this hanging only oc-
Cured in one Of the outposts Of the
army--it follows that the same thing
may have prevailed in every outpost
Of the army and in every branch of
the service--so we have the CHASTITY,
humiliating spectacle of seeing twenty
one brave American youths dangling
at the ropes end of the various
army posts before sunrise morning
after morning.
And in proof of this sickening story
we have on exhibition the kodak pic
ture of gallows!
MY! myi! my!!!
o tempora! o mores..
I4sdee-, we have fallen on evil
times.
What is to be thought of any one
who could be made to believe this
sickening story?

Rialto

Today finishes the engagement at the Rialto of Jack Holt, appearing in his Paramount triumph, ''The Call of the North This is the first starring picture of this popular player, and his portrayal proves that Paramount has scored with the fans in rewarding Holt for his services as one of the most consistent leading men in the entire list of male screen players.
 The initial picture is a big Virile story of the Canadian wilds, and re- lates the experiences which befell one Ned Trent, whose quest was one of revenge. His father years before had been sent by factor of the Hudson Bay company across the trail of death,' and it was the one ambition of the son to find the man and pay the debt of vengeance.
 The country into which he had gone was one ruled by lawlessness, a land Of strong men and primitive, far from the border of civilization, deep into the land of the midnight sun. Dan ger was oa every hand. adventure stalked amid the great snowclad si- lence of the Arctic country. But he found his man, but he also found TO- nance and a wonderful girl.
 Today likewise closes the engage nlent of the Bulger Comedy Animal circus. These clever dumb actors have delighted capacity crowds throughout every day of their en- gagelaent and indications point to the final day finding the spacious Rialto again crowded to it's capacity.
 Tomorrow brings an entire change of program to the Rialto. The pie ture division of the program will be headed by Unseen Forces,' in which Sylvia Braemer stars. Dorothy Kelly. in a clever song, dance and whistling speciality, will be seen as the added attraction. The musical end of the Rialto program is in the very ca pable lands of George J. Hayes at the mighty Wurlitzer organ, and Car rel Reeds baby syncopated symphony orchestra.

The Eroiic


 Tonight is the big night of the dancing season in Phoenix, the night of the ''big kid dance" at the F'rolic. an affair through which it is hoped to collect a whole load of toys for the poor kiddies of the city.
 Everyone bringing a discarded toy to the Frolic th.s evening will be admitted ire to the club. The toys thus collectes will be given to the Salvation Army fer distribution in it's Christmas work among the poor. In every home there are toys which the children have cast aside. They will bring cheer and happiness to the hearts of the poor little unfor- tunates who will receive no visit giving of the toys, the Frolic has hit on this scheme.
 To make it an even more attractive affair, the F'rolic offers a cash prize of $5 for the best home dressed doll. All the dolls entered in the contest will be turned over to the Salvation Army with the discarded toys.
 And now as to the "big kid" part of the dance The management is endeavoring to make the night a night of happiness, and to the woman who appears costumed as the best "big kid" cash prize Of $5 will be awarded. A like amount will be given to the man appearing as the best .big kid"
 There will be no advance in ad- mission nor in the price of dancing. If you bring discarded toy, ad- mission is free.

Of the plains, weaving its theme
 around the growth of. Oklahoma.
 One is thrilled by the bravery Of
 the Scttlers-the spirit of progress
 iveness and the steady onward march
 of civilizations vanguard who dared
 the terrors of the little known coun-
 try that the message of enlightnment
 and progress might be carried clear
 across the empire. One is awed by
 the action recording the Indian cam
 paigns, the white soldiery against
 the coming redskins, the great buff
 falo hunts, the long line of wagon
 trains. Step by step the reviewer
 is brought to the present era, and then with a fascination that is truly remarkable, one watches the life of the modern Cowboy on the greatest ranch in the entire world. The pie ture was made in it's entirety at the Miller Bros. 101 ranch in Oklahoma. And in this sequence the marvellous action recorded by the camera will hold everyone spellbound. Action that is more daring than anything yet brought to the silver sheet, the cowboys in stunts that defy all laws of safety, and every view a closeup one. There are no "loong shots, '' 1 you are right on'' the action. And the trip around the ranch itself Is an education in itself.
 Taken all in all, "In the Days of 1 the Buffalo" is unquestionably one l of the most comprehensive pictures | of the west ever screened locally, l and judging from the interest already 1 manifested in the engagement, the
 remaining screenings will find the 1 Strand packed with enthusiastic | audiences.

"Toby" at EIks


 Toby is becoming more popular with each performance of the Claman-Bronson company at the Elks theater. This weeks production. The Call of the North Woods, ,'' shows "Toby" up in Canada. He has just as good opportunities for ec- centric comedy as in the previous of fering and he takes advantage of every situation. It is one continuous laugh from the time Toby enters until he leaves the stage.
 The best feature of the Claman- Bronson company is that it is an evenly balanced company, all people of experience and ability, who know how to play and dress their parts an dthe plays are of the kind that has strong common appeal. The vaudeville acts alone are worth the price of admission, coming l between the acts of the drama, thus eliminating any long waits The 1 Toby quartette is a big time act and is forced to respond to encore after encore at each performance ''The Call of the North Woods" will be repeated tonight and Wednesday

Bic appetite and a thirst for abnor-

be wondered at that there is such wide
spread lack Of self-control in the con-

Indigestion is one Of the chief caus-
es Of bad temper. Physical disorder
expresses itself only too often in an

Correct eating is therefore one Of
the foundation stones of building de-

DISARMAMENT PROSPECT
OF BORAH RESOLUTION

Disarmament scored victory when
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations voted to report favorably Sen
ator Borah's resolution for a five year
naval holiday" As amended in COM
mittee, the resolution requests the
President to advise the governments
lof Great Britain and Japan that our
government will take up directly with.
them the question of naval disarma-
ment. with view Of promptly enter
ing into treaty to curtail naval build
ing programs during the next five
years to such an extent and upon
such terms as may be agreed upon.
The resolution is important because
it represents a first step toward real
action, No reasonable man could ex-
pect more than it proposes as a first
step, and the all-important thing is to-
make a beginning. Senator Borah
won the one real point at issue in the.
committee when he prevented the
broadening Of the invitation to in
clude France and Italy. Such inclu-
sion would almost certainly bring the.
question of land disarmament and
thus block all possibility Of action
Despite contrary press reports, friends
of disarmament have every reason to,
rejoice over the committees, action.
Senator Borah hopes to press ahis
to prompt enactment, tho
its execution is expected to rest with
the new President. The tide of dis
sentiment is steadily rising,
and meetings and demonstrations are
under way all over the country. At
the office Of the American Union A.
gainst Militarism. it was pointed out
to-day that united pressure from
business and other interests favorable
to disarmament is brought to bear on

EATING AND SELF-CONTRoL

Parents and nurces appeal entirely
too much to the appetite of children
as means of controlling and restrain
ing them. They promise to their quite
too much aroused appetite some pa
late-ticklng delicacy that the juvenile
has learned to desire, for the purpose
of getting the child to comply with the
will Of the briber. BE quiet, now.
and don't fret, and | will bring you
some candy, when | go to the store. .
Children, as a rule, should Be fed at
regular intervals; even mere babes
should have set times for nursing, and
they will become readily Infatuated
to that order So long as chiId's
palate IS tickled and pandered to by
all sorts of indulgences at meals and
between meals, that trait in the make
up of the child will be forever in a
state Of feverish over-excitation, the
digestion will be perverted, the growth
and health will be impaired, and it will
