At The Fort Armstrong.

In Peacock Alley" which Sun
day began a four-day run at the
Fort Armstrong theatre, May Muir
ray does the most striking charac-
teriZation of her career. 1t is a
picture which to the natural inter-
est of a powerful love story is add
ed the attraction of gorgeous set
tings and wonderful costumes.
The story opens in a small Am er-
lean village, shifts to Paris, ba tx
to the village and then to New
York. 1t pictures the adventures
of a Persian dancer who forsakes
the plaudits and favors of the gay
city of pleasure to become the wife
of a small town American youth
only to find that her husbands peo-
pie are scandalized at her and will
have nothing to do with her. Then
the youthful lovers try to make
their way in New York but the big
city proves full of trouble which
the lovers finally solve but not in
the way that either expected.

is thrust upon him most unexpect-
eddy by the solicitor for his grand
father, Earl of Dorincourt, who had
'disowned Cedric's father before the
lad was born. This ascent to the no
bility took the boy TO England
where there developed many anus
ing as well as tragic incidents
which lead to a climax filled with
more heart-break than anything
ever shown on the screen. His
three old cronies, however, finally
bring back to Little Lord Fauntle-
roy and his grandfather the happi-
ness that had all but gone a-glim-
mering.
Among the players whose inter
pretations do much to make Little

Earl's eldest son, and the three
cronies, Mrs. McGinty played by
Kate Price; Mr.. Hobbs by James A.

Marion, as her son. and Madame de

Tom had been fighter too-in
France for Uncle Sam, and when
he came back he was a shell-shock-

What Do Men Want?" the great
est screen sensation of the greatest
producer of motion pictures is esa
sentially a woman's picture 1t
deals with a problem of American
life well known to millions and
millions of women, and equally ia
milliar to countless judges in the
divorce courts of the country.
This great drama from the facile
pen of Lois Weber, producer of such
outstanding successes as Where
Are My Children" ''Hypocrites'
and THE Price of Good Time" is
piercing study of the things that
make for happiness in man. Down
through the ages woman's greatest
wish has been to bring happiness
and contentment to man. Today the
complexity of our social conditions
demands an even closer analysis of
the question What Do Men WANT"
1t is believed that the movie-go-
ing public who see this dynamic
drama of the quest for happiness,
will agree that Lois Weber has pro-
duced the biggest picture in the his
tory of the motion picture industry
So say the critics. The film will be
shown at the Rialto theatre Thurs
day and Friday.

There came to the Spencer
Square Saturday for an eight-day
run, a photoplay that left a pro-
found impression on the audience.
1t was Mary Pickford's Little Lord
Fauntleroy," the most appealing
and at the same time one of the
most perfect photoplays ever to pass
through projecting machine. The
mingled laughter and tears accentu-
ated by resounding applause. &C
claimed Americas sweetheart" god
dess supreme of cinema art. Her in
depreciation of the roles of Dearest
and Little Lord Fauntleroy will
probably never be approached by
anyone in the picture realm. The
fine artistry, the delicate shading.
che conviction brought to these
widely different parts by Mary
Pickford, represent the greatest
achievement of all time in the shad-
ow world. The motion picture in
dustry can well express its thanks
to this wonder woman for bring
ing to the highest development the
art of picture making. Jack Pick
ford, brother Of Little Mary, and
his co-director, Alfred E. Green, are
to be complimented for their mas
terful handling of this vehicle, COL
laboration seems to guarantee sue
cess Nothing has ever been done
to equal the par excellence OF the
stupendous settings in this feature.
The wizardly OF the lens has lent
a wondrous charm to both exterior
and interior, and Charles Kosher,
the photographer, has demonstrated
that nothing is impossible for the
motion picture camera. The double
exposure feats, wherein Miss Pick
ford as Dearest walks with and
talks to Miss Pickford as Faunt-
leroy are astounding.
The appeal of the story as writ

has been accumulated and heighten-

A Murderer on the Highway.
(St. Adams Messenger)

About the most despicable specimen
of humanity is the automobile driver,
who, having crashed his machine into
another, steps on the gas and makes
his getaway" with no attempt to
ascertain the destruction or injury to
human beings done as result of his
carelessness or speed mania. The
holiday was marred for the little viii
lage of West Burke yesterday when
a resident of that village was instant
ly killed in an accident of that ma
ture. A bigger car crashed into the
smaller machine on steep hill and
forced it into the ditch with the re-
sultant fatality. The driver, recog-
nizing that unquestionably he was at
fault sped away, and as no one was
in position to see the number plate
he made his escape sure. No clue has
yet been found to the automobile or
it's driver, and it is probable the au-
thorities will be unable to trace down
the murderer. For under the circum-
stance the driver at fault is nothing
less than a murderer.
There may have been some reason
able excuse for the collision but there
can be no excuse made for the drivers
act of running away. There should
be no half way measures taken and
should the authorities finally estab-
lish the mans identity he should be
made to pay the full penalty for his
act.

Governor Pingree.
(RutIand HeraId)

Had Ex-Governor Samuel E. Pin
gree lived until August the second of
this year he would have rounded out
ninety years of active life, a large
portion of which was spent in the
service of his town, county and state.
His services to the nation at the time
of the civil war were exceptional and
his long service as town clerk Of his
native town has been justly held up
as an example of humble public ser
vice on the part of the citizen whom
the state. had highly honored. In
addition to being the oldest living ex-
governor, Governor Pingree embodies
in his mind and character the best
ideals Of the previous century. In
his last years he retained in a re-
markable degree the mental alert
ness of earlier years and until his
last illness took a deep interest in
public matters. The state does well
to do honor to his memory.

In the death of Ex-Governor Sam
uel E. Pingree in his ninetieth- year
Vermont loses one of it's most veneer
ated and loved grand old men. If
Vermont, after the manner of the
American nation, had been troubled
by the problem what to do with it's
former executives, Governor Pingree
would have set worthy example of
continued usefulness in humble SER
vice which he exalted by no less than
sixty years Of uninterrupted devo-
zion. During that entire period
Governor Pingree served as town
clerk of Hartford, and he established
a record not by duration of time in
that position but also by faithful
performance of duty. He was a
patriotic soldier in the Union army
and an efficient public servant in al
the positions with which the people
of his State and county, and town
honored him.

Word comes from Lamoille county
that the newspaper interests of that
territory are to consolidate. This is
the inevitable in many fields as this
paper has pointed out in many ed
itorial notes in the past few years.
Probably no other business has un-
dergone the marked changes in the
past seven years that has been ex-
perienced in the publishing field. 1t
Is the same in Lamoille county as in
other sections of the state, either con-
solidate or discontinue some papers.
The most recent consolidation of pub
fishing interests in Vermont was
that of the Ludlow-Bellows Falls
Windsor consolidation. Printers
wages and most of the material a
printer buys has not yet receded
from the high tide of war prices,
while many newspaper fields are be-
coming more and more restricted for
one reason and another.

they have shown rather strange
readiness to purchase western-bred
horses for draft purposes, dealers
having made many thousands of dol
lars by railroading range horses in
to Vermont, then selling them to sup
ply local needs.
Now that it has been pretty well
demonstrated that the gas engine,
truck and tractor are not going to
displace the horse on the large ma
iority of Vermont farms, it would be
a good thing if Vermonters paid more
attention to breeding their own nat
ural power.
The sooner we begin to supply our
selves with what we need by produc-
ing it in Vermont, the sooner we will
become economically superior to the
outside world and the less money will
be sent "out West" for horses, hogs
grain, meat and wool.
One of the truest things ever said
by the late Theodore N. Vail was that
Vermont must not only consider the
necessity of supplying herself with
foodstuffs, but must be prepared te
supply fodstuffs to part of the
non-producing populations of the
large cities. 1t is Just as true OF
horses and other livestock.
We ought to begin growing oul

Waste in State Expenditures Not
500
bennington Banner)

Governor Hardness is not person
ally under fire in. the discussion Of
some of the old things that he has re-
said recently. His estimate of waste
is probably too large. 1t is said that
in burning coal to produce power the
waste and loss is more than rs per
cent. of the actual heat units. In
some operations the loss or actual
potential power is possibly even
greater while in others it is far less.
The governors estimate that the
waste in state government is fifty per
cent. is considered by others who
have examined the figures as too
large but the point at issue is not
whether the governor is approx
mately wrong or approximately right
but whether the line of attack can be
focused on the points where there is
waste to any considerable degree re-
CARELESS of per cent. Merely Shrine
UP cloud of dust and then letting it
settle over the landscape brings no
useful result. The Vermont public
is rapidly becoming convinced that
the tremendous increase in overhead
in the highway department, the de-
pe~tment of education, and the board
of health is not justified and that the
money is going mostly to pay salaries
of people who give comparatively lit
tie in return Governor Hardness
may perhaps be charged with the re-
sponsibility for the $4,000 increase
In the highway department which has
anparently weakened the department
somewhat, but he cannot be blamed
for the large and growing ornament

Memorial Day Better Observed.
BARRE Times)

Newspaper accounts of the observ-
ance of Memorial day last Tuesday
seem to agree in the estimate that
this years observance was in some
respects an exhibition of more pa
triotism and more reverence for the
nations dead than it was in several
of the recent years. Memorial day
is the one holiday of the year in
American life in which particular
appeal is made to the patriotism and
loyalty of all Americans by means Of
address through their minds. Other
holidays we have of patriotic nature
but none of them is like Memorial
day in it's appeal through the intelli-
gence. 1t is good to see the progress
that is being made in reaching the
people in this way.

Frank Green Under Fire.
Herald and NeWs)

A cloud, at present no bigger than
a mans hand, has appeared in the
horizon of Representative Frank l..
Greene's assumed senatorial ambi-
ton. Petitions asking Major III.
Nelson Jackson of Burlington to be-
come candidate for this Office are
being circulated by ex-service men,
it is reported. Major jackson is at
present on a brief trip to England.
He may be confronted with this de-
mand on his return. concerning the
existence of which he is possibly,
though not probably. ignorant. Fore
ed drafts are not altogether new in
Vermont politics. We do not thinkth
candidacy of Major Jackson, if it
really eventuates, need give much
concern to Mr.. Greene Or his friends.
1t is evidently actuated by hostility
toward Mr.. Greene among certain
but by no means all-former service
men because he has consistently and
couragously opposed the soldiers
bonus proposition. In return these
young veterans propose to "get" Mr..
Greene, and at the same time put in
the place one of their own direct rep
resentatives. The people of Yer
mont may safely be trusted to make
a right decision in this matter if it
ever comes to a test. While refer
ring to the bonus, it is not out of
place to note that in several recent
nominating primaries, the voters
have evinced an unmistakable prefer
ence for members of Congress who
have opposed the proposition, while
several members who supported it
have been beaten.

Bovine T. B. Issue.
Burlington Clipper)

The people of Chittenden county
will have an opportunity to show how
they stand on the question of the
state voting more money for the Grad
ication of bovine tuberculosis at the
September primaries DIR. Coburn of
Milton will be a candidate for county
senator from the north district and
the state spending any more money
in that way. He opposed the $780,
900 for bovine tuberculosis appropri-
ated by the last Legislature and does
not believe the bovine form of dis
ease can be transmitted to human be-
ings. Undoubtedly he will make that
his campaign issue. For this reason
the vote that DR.. Coburn receives will
be watched with interest.

FLOOD BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Water Left Fine Silt of Good Earth
on Impoverished Lands in
Washington.

Sedro Woelley, Wash.-A fine silt
of very fertile earth layer from two
to five inches deep was left on the
inundated farm lands when the flooded
Skagit river subsidized to its regular
channel.
The layer of silt had added great
value TO the valley lands, according
to owners. The food, which was the
most extensive known here since the
early homestead days, lasted from De-
cember 10 until the middle of Janu-
airy.
The rise of the river was attributed
to torrential downpours in the foot
hills and mountains through which the
Skagit flows The heavy rain washed
immense amounts of rich top soil from
the hills into the flood and all this
material was carried into the valley
and deposited.
