ADJUSTMENTS
Three Musketeers" Gives Doug" His
Greatest Chance

When Douglas Fairbanks filmed
The Three Musketeers," ne fulfilled
the ambition of his life. Undoubtedly
no vehicle is so typically Fairbanks
sian or offers so fine an opportunity
to play upon the entire gamut of
things hlstrionic as does his. his
iXth United Arts Production.
The film version CT THE Three
Musketeers" is based not only upon
the famous novel of Alexander Du-
mas. but also upon the memoirs of
DArtignan himself. In fact, much of
the material upon which the "busi-
ness of the photoplay is built, much
that gives it the human touch, was
found in DArtagnan's memoirs and
not in the novel, although it was from
the Dumas story that the foundation
stones for the picture plot were OBJ
tanned.
The management Of the Opera
House takes pleasure to announce the
opening this afternoon, and will con-
tinue twice daily until Thursday eve
ming.
There are many reasons which give
authority to the bid for everlasting
fame on behalf of this photoplay.
First of all. the Dumas novel and the
memoirs of D'Artagnan embody the
greatest wealth of filmable material
ever uncovered. Only the magma
ton of a Dumas could devise the
amazing experiences participated in
by those four inseparable comrades,
D'Artacnan and the Three Muske-
teers, Athos. Porthos and Aramis.
And the part of the dashinc D'Artag-
nan is made to order for the indomi-
table Doug.
Add to this fact that the adoption,
costuming and required research were
under the supervision Of that cele-
brated playwright and scholar of his
tory, Edward knoblock.
To Arthur Edeson, camera artist
extraordinary, must so the credit of
bringing to the screen an unprece-
denied wealth of Photographic art.
Professors Of history and experts of
the period depicted in this film-tale
AL unite in stating that the settings
are superb and the types admirably
chosen. 1t is their opinion that the
Fairbanks version Of THE Three
Musketeers will stand not only as an
entertainment masterpiece, but also
as an historical document done in
cellulOid.-Adv.

CALVIN COOLfDGE'S GREAT HOPE
FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES.

Vice-President Coolidge, a member OF
Better Homes in America" Advisory
Council, says:
'Under present conditions any ambition
of America to become nation Of home
owners would be by no means impossible
of fulflment. The land is available, the
materials are at hand, the necessary ac-
cumulstion Of credit exists, the courage,
the endurance and the sacrifice of the
people are not wanting. Let them begin,
however slender their means, the building
and perfecting of the national character
by the building and adorning of home
which shall be worthy of the habitation
of an American family calm in the as
surance that the gods send thread for
web begun
Here will be found that satisfaction
which comes from possession and achieve
ment. Here is the opportunity to express
the soul in art Here is the sacred influ-
ence, here in the earth at our feet, around
the hearthstone, which raises man to his
true estate"

Within the Jurisdiction.

II is we'll remarked by a prominent
neriodical that Lawful authority has
bsen too much engaged in attempting to
40 things outside its jurisdiction to do
vigorously the things within its jurisdic-
ton" It might also have been added
that if officialdom will but hunt for au-
thority to do the things hat ought to be
done, the authority can usually be found.
We have case in mind at the mo
ment Some months ago the Lincoln
Memorial was dedicated at Washington,
and while President Harding was deliver
ing an address an aviator flew over the
audience so low as to drown the Presl-
dents voice and scare the people so their
attention was diverted. The local police
officials complained that they were pow
erless as Congress had not enacted law
regulating aviation. AS matter OF TACT,
they could have punished the man for
disturbing public meeting
Practically all the evils of picketine
could be punished under statutes or ordi-
nances that have been in force for years.
Because a man is a picket for an organl-
z4tion of strikers does not give him any
special privileges. He has no right to
stop pedestrians on the public streets
against their will; he has no night to
trespass on private property; he hls no
right tO make a public nuisance OF hlm-
self; he has no right to commit acts that
tend to provoke violence; he has no right
to carry concealed weapons; he has no
right TO use vile and approbrious language.
All that is needed Is a body OF public
officials actuated by real desire to pro
/ tect the law abiding from the outlaws

THE COAL SITUATION IN MAINE.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 81 Governor Perci-
val P. Baxter, state fuel administrator,
sent Andrew P Lane, fuel director, to
Philadelphia few days ago to make per
sonal investigations of the hard coal sit
uation. Mr.. Lane has been in consulta-
tion with large operators and dealers and
sends an imperative message to Gov.
Baxter
Mr.. Lane reports that four of the large
anthracite coal companies have already
shipped anthracite coal by rail and by
barges to points in Maine. This message
means that some anthracite coal will soon
be available for Maine consumers 1t
will not be possible TO deliver more than
a small quantity to each customer, but
such coal as comes will be distributed
equitabiy from time to time. The
amount for each customer will be limited
and there will not be enough to go around.
Governor Baxter urges householders
and other consumers to put in small
quantities of good grade of bituminous
coal to carry them through the early o rt
of the winter. Gov. Baxter believes that
many householders will find that bitumin-
Gus coal is more economical and that
some of them will doubtless prefer it to
anthracite. MANY of the states use bit
luminous coal exclusively. This, it is felt,
would tend somewhat to relieve the pres
sure of the anthracite market and will
tend to keep down prices

SENATOR LaFOLLET TE
From Courier r-Gazettel

What all patriotic Americans feared,
Senator LaFoVette of Wisconsin has been
renominated ia the Republican primaries
Of that State. Senator LaFollette is a
pretty poor Republican. He has opposed
his party in almost everything it has un-
dertaken in the United States Senate So
far as being a Republican is concerned
his party might we'll get along without
him. In fact, a good, patriotic Democrat
in his place would be a blessing to the
country
LaFollette is a Socialist crank, and
during the war displayed tendencies far
from patriotic. Wisconsin is cursed with
large radical and communistic element
in its population, an element that is also
Of considerable strength in the North
Central West particularly in Iowa, Min
nesota and North Dakota. The latter
State has for several years been under
the blight of Townleyism, and the rule of
the Non-P Partisan League which at one
time had, and still to a considerable ex-
tent has, control of the Republican party.
Senator LaFollette has been the source
/ Of the most of what radical legislation
the Senate has passed, and has upheld
the doctrine of extreme socialism, so
dangerous to the welfare of this country
and its government. He is a radical, a
revolutionary ana a dangerous dema-
gosue, and if his Democratic opponent
Is IN any sense a patriotic citizen, we
hope he will be elected.
