What a Joy it is to find one of these
tremendous motion picture produc-
tons which tells a human story and is
filled with the things we love in a
story % a play! The elaborate scale

symbolic subjects many times, but
here is the sort of thing that inspires a
response from every one of us-"The
Son of Wallingford." Nothing could
be more real, more appealing in its
characters and their story than this
play by George Randolph Chester,
concerned with people we learned to
know in his Wallingford stories. 1t is

ton and photography that we've seen

direct assertion nor inference did II
promise immediate relief from tax
burdens. On the contrary It gave clear
and unmistable warning that no imme-
date relief could be expected. This
being true, the Republicans cannot be
charged with bad faith II there be no
ammunition Of taxation at the present
session Of Congress.
But even II the Republicans had
promised reduction Of taxes, what rea-
son would there be for the people Of
the country at the election Of 1922 to
return Democratic administration?
1t was Democratic administration
that brought about the conditions Of
which the people now complain. This
does not mean that the Democratic ad-
ministration' was responsible for the
war, the reasonable expenses Of which
the people would bear without COM
plant. But 1t does mean that the Dem
ocratic administration conducted the
war in such wasteful manner and by
such extravagant methods as to pile
up an indebtedness far beyond any
justification. Not ever the Democratic
press will have the hardihood to deny
that under the Democratic administra-
ton there was an orgy Of extravaganza
from which the TAXPAYERS will suffer
for decades to come.
THE political retirement Of the Re-
publican party would mean the restor-
alton fthe Democratic party. prac-
tically all Of whose leaders were either
active participants in the Wilson Ad-
ministration of were its supporters

Fair Public Will Not Blame Repub-

Hon. Jonathan Bourns, Jr., the Repub-

ception to the assertion Of staff writ
o rof the New York Tribune" who
represents Republican leaders as con-
fronted with the demand of the admin
istration for continued large appropri-
atoms, on the one hand, and the de-
mands of the people for reduction Of
taxation on the other, with political
death as the alternative If the reduc-
ton of taxes Is not accomplished. The
statement says:
at Is altogether likely that the cor
respondent Of the Tribune is not thor
oughly familiar with state Of public
opinion throughout the country. Be-
yond question the people of the coun-
try desire reduction of taxes more
than they desire any other one thing
Just at this time. Nevertheless, the
people are intelligent enough to I'M
derstand that the present members of
congress are not responsible for con-
,ditions which made immediate reduc-
ton of taxes practically impossible.
N the country is to made choice be-
tween the candidates of party which
does not reduce taxes Immediately and
the candidates of party which made
that reduction impossible they will
undoubtedly choose the former.
Both Congress and the officials Of
the Executive Department are endeav-
oriAg to find every possible means of
curtailing public expenditures in or
der to pave the way for reduced tax
alton, and with hope of success, but 1t
has been long understood by men IA
miliar with public affairs that many
fixed and unavoidable obligations Of
the government are not susceptible of
immediate reduction. This was fore
seen when the Republican platform of
1920 was drafted at Chicago. That
platform specifically stated that no
immediate reduction of taxes could
be promised for the reason that the
previous administration had conducted
the public business in such a wasteful
and sxtravagant manner and had in

tour will be the attraction at the

Thursday evening and the promises
made that the organization is much
bigger and better than it was last year
although then 1t made a splendid i'm
preston. An extraordinary thing, as
far as the history OF minstrel compan-
les 60, is the fast that "Lasses" and
his band of burnt-cork artists not only
pleased audiences every place but
made money on their very first tour.
This is unusual because minstrel COM
panies usually have to go around the
co intry for several seasons before be-
co ming established. This is probably
due to the fact that White himself was
big favorite. having appeared as
leading comedian with all the princi-
pal black-face organizations before at
tempting to go it on his own account.
"Lasses" Is not only his own best
"funnyman," but is a thinker and a
hard worker and writes and arranges
all the scenes of his own entertain
mnnt. The feature act this season will
be "The Cruise Of the Blackville
Y;cht Club" spectacular affair
which enlists the services of the en-
tire company. The 4-11-44, a yacht
owned by dusky heightened yellow
belle, impersonated by George Mil
ner, sets sail for the Hawaiian Islands
and upon arriving in harbor, it is
discovered that Zero Snow, played by
"Iasses" White has been q stowaway
on board, together with one Rough
house Bill, played by'Slim Vermont,
and the sailor boys aboard the yacht
have a lot Of fun with them. A big
dancing jubilee is staged on the island
under the shade Of the Haleakala
Mountain after which at dusk the
yacht again proceeds on its way, with
all lights burning and the wireless ap-
paratus flashing its signals. Liter the
yacht arrived in the North Sea where
1t becomes ice-bound in a huge floe.
The stowawsy are forced to leave the
boat to hunt for game and an amusing
incident occurs when Zero|is attacked
by a large Polar Bear. Hhis scene
