LOEW'S PALACE
"Wallingford."

[ Photoplay lovers can accept. WITH
out the slightest hesitation. the pro-
found entertainment value of screen
production of Get Rich-Quick Wal
lingford." the adaptation Of the IA
nous stage play by George M. Conan.
which yesterday began a weeks en-
gagement as the featured attraction
of the program at Loew's Palace Tho
ater, where 1t was presented for the
first time in Washington. Or addi-
tional interest is the fact that 1t was
directed by Frank Borzage. the man
who gave 'Humoresque" to the screen
and who has brought to its interpre-
tation a notable cast of players.
The Interpretation of the four out
standing roles in this production has
been entrusted by Director Borzage TO
a quartet of noted film players-Sam
Hardy, Doris Kenyon. Diana Allen and
Norman Kerry-who interpret with
fascinating force and brilliant skill the
main parts of this story of two fran.
xied financiers-J. Rufus Wallingford
and his partner, "Blackie Daw'-who
attempt the financial conquest Of "A
small town, only to find themselves
conquered, In turn, by the little blind
god and two small.town lassies.
The story concerns Wallingford and
his partner. Daw. who descend on the
town of Battlesburg with the idea of
victimizing the Inhabitants, who have
more dollars than sense. In moment
of inspiration they seize on the idea of
manufacturing carpet tacks, solely
with the idea of victimizing the town
In q stock selling scheme and then de-
camp with the profits.
As a matter Of fact, the tack they
propose to manufacture suddenly
takes on an unexpected financial value
and Wallfngford end Daw awake one
morning to find themselves not only
rich but honest men as well.
An intensely romantic interest ID
given the story by the depletion OF the
sudden industrial boom that is given
the little town of Battlesburg by the
success of the Wahingford-Daw finan.
cial schemes and by the sudden dts
covery, by both the promoters. that
two Of the Battlesburg girls mean
more In their lives than they had ever
intended in the beginning.
The love affair that is backgroundcd
against the industrial element of the
story brings the whole narrative to a
most interesting and absorbing con
clusion and sets Dietrich Quick Wal

Commission Government
And The Amendment

The Commission plan OF city government as now
established in Pueblo is based upon the theory that the
citv government shall express the will of The people Of
this CITY, and that IT will give the city good govern
ment as the people of the city desire and are willing
to nav for The defects of the present government
and there are defects in every governmentarise because
the people refuse neglect support politically hnan
callv and otherwise better government
The proposed amendment is scheme for making
tbe poitcal water rise in the governmental pipes to
level higher than its is denial both of the
right and OF the ability of the people to govern them
selves It proposes do for the people what the people
cannot or will not do for themselves 1t would put the
best man in the city, into the position Of president or
MAYOR for two wears without recall It would bring in
a business expert to the city. It would take all
political power from the people, except the power to
elect district councilnen in two years And the
result of this procedure asked to believe, would
be that the people would be given better government
than the people could give then
That is the argument that h. N used In every
scheme to rob the people of their political rights The
weakness of the argument lies in the fact that whenever
political power taken away from the people and CEN
tralized in an official board that cannot be con-
troed by the people the power that be used
for the public good may be used for the public harm
It's not sufficient answer say that Pueblo coun-
cilmen and Pueblo's president mayor and Pueblo $
manager would always be right in every difference they
might have with public sentiment The important thing
is that the amendment puts into their power to defy
public sentiment when they in the wrong.

World Peace And Intemationalism

1t may be expected that in connection with the
beard the of those who proclaim the federation of
the world the end OF human antagonsms and the
goal of political progress. Mr.. Wells, eminent
British visionary, has already expressed himself in
favor of the elimination of national boundaries and the
abandonment Of national patriotism He looks forward
to world state in which all men shall be citizens
The practical difficulty in the realization of such
ideal is that each visionary sees a world state in
which his opinions recognized the principles of
social and political organization, whereas the truth
is that only small minority of the peoples of the world
share those opinions.
The great civilized nations of the world the
custodans of the fruits of human PROCESS in the past,
and the guardians of the elements of human progress
in the future But these civilized nations, dominant
the world they today, the minority
CARDS numbers, and they would find themselves in n
helpless minority in any world that conducted
according to the forms of democracy and selfdeter-
mination.
In a word-empire the majority might be held in
subsection according any that might be imposed
by the ruling class But in free worldstate the gov
erning power be that of the majority and the

mayor and elect the city manager and to discharge

and to elect the city and to discharge
him whenever it suits their pleasure TO do so.
What is true of the representative councilnen in
this regard is also of the civil service commission
Under the present charter the three commissioners
elected by the people and they receive s5 day for
actual service for than thirty days in any
year. Under the amendment they are chosen by the
council and they get nothing all for their work These
commissioners be elected for year One
ray easily imagine the rush get these six year jobs
without compensation but fortunately the city will not
be left without employees for it is provided that in
the absence of appropriate eligible list any place
may be filed temporarily for period not 10 exceed
sixty days
How do the people know that under the amendment
Independent civil service commissioners be found
accept this responsible and always pleasant work
without pay, taking their appointment from the council
that appoints the that appoints the employees
and maintaining the eligible lists in accordance with
the public interests7
The people cannot know either that the nomin-
aed for representatives in the council will thru
their terms, that independent civil service commits
sioners will without pay.
The thing they be sure of is that the 'Cere-
monia President will hang his job for the full
period of two years, safe from removal by the council

Utah, a Mormon, who avowedly had
three wives. 1t was pointed out in his

The Stiff Neck
Frederick A. Hatch


A recent article in The Chieftain declares
that there is a marked difference in the pliabilty
of the muscles of the necks of people, and that
there is difference between the pliabiity of the
unmarried and those who are married. That
offers chance for the humorist TO display his
wit, but 1t Is also a reason for thinking. FOR
in the old testament the prophets more than oace
wrote of stiff necked people.
There are many who boast that they are
set; that when they make up their minds they
do not change. And generally it is true; they
do not change. For instance the habit of evil
speaking, of unkindly gossip, is apt to be fixed
The habit is harder to break than that of indulg-
ence in narcotics. There gets TO be an intoxica-
ton from the pleasure of saying unkindly things
behind the backs of those whom they pretend to
be friendly with. 1t grows into a contentious
spirit and results in factions and cliques.
The heart of the Great Head OF the esurcn
must be sad, as he listens to those who deilght IN
barbed arrows sped to hurt others. tor 1t Is
not the thing itself alone but it IS after results
that harm many Others Thoughtless people take
the venom as being the truth, and pass 1t on.
And for the principal in the tragedy, ne OF she
hardly ever repents and that may be the reason
why they are termed stiff necked In twenty
FIVE wears of pastoral experience the writer has
heard but very few express sorrow for their evil
speaking. Many have been sorry for other evil
deeds. and bowed in contrite humility before
God; asking for forgiveness, but rarely do they
show penitence for back-bitins and whispering.
They are set; they know that they are rlsht,
or think that they are. Stiff necked; hurting
God and His children, but never sorry, and 1t
ia a condition calling for earnest prayer;-and
quarantine.
