ADJUSTMENTS

D. w. Griffith's wonder spectacle
SWAY Down East" taken from the IA
nous New England play of that name
will be seen at the Palace theatre for
three days beginning Wednesday
night, January 10, and continuing
with two performances daily there
after for the duration of the local
engagement. The matinees begin at
.2:15 o. m. and the night presenta-
tions start at S:15.
In "Way Down East" the master
of tn eslent drama has excelled HIM
self. It is now playing in several of
the largest centers Of the country
like New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, San Francisco and Los An
gcles. AS fast as suitable time can
be arranged it will be running stimuli
taneously in practically every big
city in the United States, Canada and
Europe.
Griffith has taken this simple
story of plain people and infused into
It the charm of New England home
stcads with their quaint surround
ings, dreamy perspectives of enchant-
ing roadways, meadows and hills; old
fashioned sleighing parties, barn
dances and bucolic humors in man
ner which creates a new art form. 1t
is a tale of the love that conquers all
things but which is retarded for the
time being by gossip and thrilling ad-
ventures prompted by the stern die
tates of a simple people who have but
one code of honor. 1t progresses
cfarmmgly and with those intimate
touches of Griffith beauty which
makes all his works stand out so ap-
pcalingly to a climax which is the
greatest scene ever depicted within
the four walls of theatre. The aud
fences are thrilled and thrilled until
they fairly gasp for breath and find
relief with the termination of the
suspense in great outbursts Of ap-
plause and cheers.
This may sound trifle overstated
| but it is the bare truth and not one
tenth what the most staid critics IN
all the big cities have said about It
over and over. Its record is the most
phenomenal ever made by theatrical
attraction in America and it is a daily
or nightly occurrence to see bankers,
society women and school boys spon-
taneously join in the applause which
rocks the theatre.
1t is presented by the finest cast
that ever assembled for a screen pre-
sentation and in addition to the plain
tive picture of Anna Moore as de-
picted by Lillian Gish and the manly
David of Richard Barthelmess. The
other characters are played by Burr
Macintosh, Mary Hay, Kate Bruce
Lowell Sherman, Creighton Hale, Mrs.
Morgan Belmont, Edgar Nelson, Geo.
Neville, Viva Ogden, Florence Short.

ard, Emily Fitzroy, Patricia Fruen

KILLS BIG LION
WITH BARE HANDS
(By Associated PresS)

VIsALIA, Cal, Jan. 11.-W. C.
Bruce, official lion hunter for the
California Fish and Game Commits
sion, has killed his S7th mountain
lion only after he had been knocked
to the ground by the beast and forced
to fight for his life with his bare
hands against the giant animal
Bruce had been scouting the dense
underbrush of the Sequoia Nationa
Parks more remote sections and had
already bagped four of the animals
which have been more numerous this
season than for several years.
Badly clawed and bleeding from a
dozen wounds, the huntsman was still
able to shoot down sixth lion, appar-
emily his antagonists mate, before
camp was reached.
The hunter expressed the opinion
hat the lions of the park region have
now been cleaned out. He has bagged
six and three others were killed by

A LITTLE MORE GRACE
FOR G. OF G. MEMBERS

In order to secure the largest pos
sble attendance at the dinner tomor-
row evening Secretary Leffingwell has
secured another extension of time
with the hotel management. Such no.
tices will be received at the secretary s
office until noon tomorrow. Every di-
rector of both the old and new boards
should be present but some may be
unavoidably' detained, therefore every
director should give notice as plates
are being reserved for only those who
give notice of their coming.
Some members have asked the priv
ilege of bringing guest and paying
for the extra plate. This is perfectly
in order as each membership is en-
titled to but one plate as guest of the
chamber. All such payments should
be made to the secretary as no collec-
tions will made at the table and all
plates served will be charged to the
chamber.
The invited guests of the chamber
have the benefit of this extension OF
time.

In these days of turmoil, and crime and unemployment, Alaskans should place a liberal value on the privilege of living in a land that is free from all that is undesirable albeit lacking in some of the de sirable features, as well. It shoulc be, and is, a source of satisfaction to Northerners to know that they can go about their business with out fear of molestation from thug: and highwaymen; that they car leave their cabin doors unlocked with reasonable assurance that theil belongings will be untouched durinf their absence; that they can let theil wives and daughters move abou freely and in perfect safety; an: that there is food in abundance il the hills and streams, in time O need, and fuel aplenty:

UNCLE SAM LEADS

Inadequate as the expenditures for education in the United States are, figures compiled in the Bureau of Education show that the people of the United States are now paying annually for education as much, if not more, than the total paid for education by the peoples of all other countries; that is, half the total expenditures for education, ele- mentary, secondary, and higher, of the whole world are made in the
 United States, which contains ap- proximately one-seventeenth of the population of the world.
 Since we in the United States are
 just beginning to learn that money paid for education is not an ex- pense, but our most profitable in vestment, it may be expected, says a bulletin issued by Territorial Com missioner of Education Henderson, that the total, if not the relative, amount paid for education in this country will rapidly increase in the next few years. During the year 1921 it is esti- mated that 5,O0O,000 will be expended for the maintenance of public elementary and secondary schools in the United States.

Interior Alaskans should get be- hind the McBride movement for the development of farming lands on a comprehensive basis. The fertility of Panama valley soil has already been demonstrated by the pioneer agri- culturalists who followed close on the heels of gold seekers, and many of the farmers have made good. But it has been hard struggle and development too slow to be of material benefit to the Interior country. More farmers are needed to bring in new and larger areas, and Mir. Mcbride has pointed out the way to get them. The plan should have an especial appeal to Nenana, situated as it is, in the very heart of one of the most favored agricultural regions in the whole territory.

The News does not share the opinion of those Alaskans who con- demn Governor Riggs for his action in the Mailo Segura case. The gov ernor has done what any fair-mind- ed governor would have done under the circumstances. He Is putting it sauarely up to the President to say whether this man is guilty of a more heinous crime than that which was committed by a foreigner in the Fairbanks district, who murdered his victim for money and afterwards sought to destroy the body by burn- ing it. The President saved that mans life, but he would have per mitted this one to die but for the timely intervention of Governor Riggs.
 We do not believe the President should interfere in these matters. He is too far away to be competent to pass judgment intelligently and interference. to say the least. is not complimentary to the men he has appointed to deal with such cases. But inasmuch as he has seen fit to save the neck of one man, guilty beyond doubt of an unpardonable offense against society, he should not now refuse to hear the appeal of man whose oifense is at least not more grievous.

CHARMING STORY IS TOLD WELL IN BROKEN BUTTERFLY"

MT. Tourneur has. with a sure grasp of essentials and sympa- thetic brush, delincated in glowing pigments an idyll of love and pa thos of surpassing beauty.
 "The Broken Butterfly" is an in tensely human and absorbing story which has lent itself readily to trans formation to the screen It permits of artistic handling and in it's fin ale it develops tremendous psy, chic and emotional appeal.
 The preliminary scenes in the rug ged reaches of the Canadian woods where meet for the first time the handsome young composer, and the lonely waif, Marcene, who has never known a friend and who finds her true knight in the admiring and thoushtless musician; the gaity and color of the carnival of the Rivera, with glimpses of the blue and sunny Mediterranean; the pathways framed with laurels and palms, and the smiling throng of merrymakers on the marble stair ways and cool quadrangle are cu1- ningly contrived as fitting back ground for the saddened steps of the remorseful composer who car
