Votes Thrown Away

Many people will not vote for new
movement because they will be throw
ing away their votes. See what would
have happened to the Israelites in
Egypt if they had followed that no.
ton. Imagine the Egyptians divided
into two parties, both in favor of
Pharaoh's rule. The Israelites having
a vote would naturally divide on those
party lines. But Moses, the deliverer,
appears and calls for a declaration of
liberty and independence. Imagine the
great mass of the Hebrews not wish
ing to throw away their votes by join
ing the new party. Would not every
Israelte vote have been thrown away
if they had been cast for either of the
Egyptian parties? In these peoples
eyes only the votes that are cast for
the winning party are worth while.
There is no conscience in such votes,
only a fawning hope of profiting in
some way through the gratitude of
the elected officials. Besides this, they
are afraid to face the jibes Of the win
ners.

Thoughts Of Today
Politics Worth While

The Prohibitionists are the only po-
litical party l know of that were &C.
customed to turn their political into
prayer meetings. What may have been
the custom of the Abolitionists in old
err days I do not know. If we go back
to the days of the Scottish Covenanters
we find a parallel in the religious fea-
lures, but with what difference in
circumstances. Where is the American
spirit In politics today? To speak OF
religion and politics in the same
breath suggests sacrilege. But think
of Washington on his knees at Valley
Forge, and then picture yourself going
into a booth to vote for machine pol
itician of the popular conception. Both
figures are leaders in politics, for the
war of the Revolution was political in
nature, founded on a revolt against
taxation without representation.

Miss Ellerbe Woods rendition OF
that excellent comedy, widows

The charming approach to her audi
ence, her own evident enjoyment OF
the good fun of the piece, her skill in
depicting the characters and in WELD
ing the play-all helped toward the
final happy effect.-Phidelah Rice, Le-

Old Peabody Pew
To Play in New York

"The Old Peabody Pew" as played
by the members of the Woman's
League of the Union Church of Pail
SADIE, will be played at the --
Baptist Church, New York, October
20. This presentation is the result
of Mrs. James Stewards appeal, who
was formerly a member of this Bap-
fist church, and so imbued was she
with the success of 1.-THE Old Peabody
Pew" rendition by her Palisade church
that she wanted her old friends in
New York to see what a lot of talent
we have across the Hudson in New
Jersey-meaning, of course, Palisade.
There will be large delegation
from Palisade to hear the New York
rendition of this delightful play. The
cast only needs to put about one-half
the feeling they put into the Palisade
rendition to take New York off its
feet.

Joy of Winning

When President Harding gives a
public reception it is a very gratifying
sensation to be able to say cheerily,
Il voted for you, Mr.. President" But
if you should say, Il voted for Mr..
Cox because l thought his policy bet
ter than yours" Mr.. Harding would
lose his smile of welcome and in all
probability would say, "Wait till Mr..
Cox gets elected before you come to
congratulate the winner" If he didn't
say it he might think it. This is part
ly the reason why people want to be
on the winning side.

and fascinating art depends on the
ability of the artist to vitality recreate
situations, characters and interplay
with characters with such skill and
sympathetic understanding of human
life that the play becomes a living
reality in the vision of the audience.
Miss Wood has this creative power
this deep and sympathetic insight into
human life, this beauty of Imagination,
which lifts her work4into the realm Of
fine art.

Sheep in Wolves, Clothes

The present social condition may be
summed up as follows to restore pros
perity: 1. Reduce wages. 2. Let the
worker buy all the goods he can with
his reduced wages. 8. Observe thrift
week by spending nothing of his re-
duced wages. 4. Let every employer
employ somebody.
This is the advice Of our leading ex-
perts in political economy. AS a con-
sequence upon examination these lead
ers are found to be merely sheep in
wolves clothing, their Stiffness becom-
ing apparent the moment they are
criticised.

Christmas brings a heavy harvest"
''Now, we know that while snow is
not essential to the climate of Mary

''yet snow is designated, and rightly
the poor mans fertilizer because of
its soil-enriching properties There
are sections of the country, too, where
snow is absolutely necessary for the
protection of winter-sown grains from
deep freezes.
Wednesday clearing, clear till
Sunday, is another old saying which
will be found true 60 per cent. of the
time for the simple reason that a
period of rain usually is followed by
two or three days of clear weather. It

there would be just the same proper

than week apart at certain seasons
of the year. All these sayings repre-
sent mans early attempts to solve the
ever-increasing riddle of the weather,
a subject as old as the hills, yet ever
new.
"As to a green Christmas making a
fat churchyard, or graveyard, as it is
sometimes quoted" continued Mr..
Spencer, 81 am personally of the opin-
ion that the reverse is the fact, al
though l have no statistics to prove it.
You will find that indoor life kills
more people than one of outdoors, and
severe winter with SHOWS and zero
weather, is calculated to make folks
stay in their homes more than one
which is mild.
"In an open winter there also is less
suffering among the very poor; the
streets can be kept cleaner, and occa-
sional rains serve to clarity the atmos-
phere and cleanse the avenues of trade
where snow usually will result in an
accumulation of dirt and filth that is
brought to light only when the sun be-
gins to shine in the spring. At such
times, / am quite sure, there is more
apt to result disease and sickness than
when the winter is salubrious. For
all that, like to see the snow when it
is seasonable to have snow"

NEW YORK-At last it IS known
for what Eric Won Stroheim spent a
million dollars in producing FOOL
ish Wives"-atmosphere.
There are no great masses OF
people as compared to some of the
SD ~ctacle films which cost less 10
produce. The big scenes and sets
are impressive. but they do not SUBJ
merge interest In the story.
Stroheim sought for certain effects
never before seen in the p~hotoplay
and he seems to have achieved
them.
Take the ending. for instance.
Stroheim is the villain, n corseted
Russian prince in white uniform. He
makes you hate him so that you
wish the silhouet on the screen
would come to life that you might
hit him hard with a brick.
He builds up a situation about
himself that so nettles you hat you
want to see him killed. He is killed.
His body floats out 10 sea. And the
cat he kicked to death floats out
with him. its face at the side OF MS
face.
Somehow, you're glad that he and
the dead cat are equals. When a
villain puts over that effect he has
Zone a great piece of work.
There are many more touches thai
mark Stroheim as a genius.
The heroine drops a book. An
American marine officer, wrapped N
his cape, makes no move to pick it
up The prince CALAMITY hands 1t to
her. Both disdain the American
officer,
Lsfer she drops her glove, with
the (same result.
Cfnr f- on har uTaU m q villa 10
Vet the villain. She meets the
Fmerican officer. His cape has
allen. He waits for someone to
Dick it up. She sees that both his
arms are shot off.
The heroine picks up the cape and
places it about the American and
then leans TO kiss the wound stripes
IN his empty sleeve. That puts a
burr in the throat and a film over
the eyes.
And here are a few of the little
touches
A woman putting on gloves when
she goes TO bed to keep her hands
in shape.
A woman having her back mas
saged.
A gambler in the Monte Carlo
scene touching a humpback for luck.
1.-THE superstition didn't work..
With all its extravaganza the chief
merit of Foolish Wives" lies in the
little human touches the director
has given it-and in that million
dollar atmosphere.

 TROUBLES BY SCORE
Unemployed in Demonstrations in Bristol, Liverpool and Wales

An ugly spirit was in evidence at Bristol. where crowd attacked tho building o.cu . pied by the board of guardians and clashed with tho police. In tha en- suing struggle. banners were broken and a rod flag was captured by tho police. Finally. tho gates before tho building were opened and a largo body O. constablea charged upon tho crowd which was dispersed. but the windows in N hundred shops were smashed by ths manifestants.
 Exciting scenea also wero witnessed in Liverpool. After an encounter with tho police. unemployed workers pre- sented to tho council a ten minute ul- timatum threatening that at the ex- piration of that time they would not ba responsible for tho consequences Tho lord mayor subsequently, appeared and assured the leaders in tho demon- stration that a plan would bo formu- lated for finding work.
 One of the most notable demon strationa occurred in Wales whera 1000 people marched across tho mountains from Abertillery to Trede- gar, distance of 12 miles. A similar manifestation in Sunderland culmin- ated in an attempt to force tho gates of tho workhouse. Failing in this, members of tho crowd entered tho Guardians building. and 1t was neces- sary for the police to ejec. them.
