 People in Bridgeport are not being given enough photop1ay for their money" MT. Poli recently told Warde Johnston, managing director for the : Polls Palace.
 MT Johnson bought two feature pictures. They could not be run at every performance. Women OF Bridgeport could not see them at l o'clock nor could they stay after 4:5O D. m. to see the extra feature.

THE FAR EASTERN REPUBLIC

Washington, D. C., November 5.-(Spe- Japanese leaves the Far Eastern republic free for the working out of a curious political ex- pertinent unless the present system is over thrown by advancing red troops,@ says bull letin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 "Vladvostok's new importance arises be- cause it is the port city of the Far Eastern republic. This republic, new entity in prob- lems of the Far East is only a slice of vast Siberia-the southeast corner, in fact-and comprises less than one-twenteth of the old Russian empire.
 "The rail distance from the port of the new republic to Verkhne- Udinsk near Lake BaMal, where the trans-Siberian railway cuts it's west ern boundary, is approximately that from New York city to Bismarck, N. D. Yet that distance is only third of the way Siberia And the Far Eastern republic itself, in area is greater than Texas and California together.
 Trains have been running from Verkhne- Udinsk to VIadivostok, except for recent mi- tary interruptions, but the running requires stops while the conductor trudges alongside the cars shouting, 'Toxarishchi-za drovamip This is the call for passengers to pile out and carry sticks from adjacent woodpiles to the locomo- tive.
 "This extreme application of the com munism extends to passenger accomnioda- tions. Only officers of the government can procure coaches or private cars. The prole- tariat,' word that has definite meaning in the Far Eastern republic, may crowd into box cars and anybody is free to pick out a corner for himself. Generally this form of equal opportunities for all passengers re- solves itself into men, women and children be- ing herded into the cars like so many cattle.
 "Yet the Siberian peasant is not a com- munist in the sense of his bolshevst neighborp in Russia. The particular brand of his com munism is summed up by Junius B. Wood, in a communication to the National Geographic society, substantially as follows:
 "The Siberian peasant averages 100 acres of land. He can have as much more as he wants to cultivate It is there for the taking. What he raises is his own. He is willing to put his crop in the community storehouse, but the idea of turning it over to government on the strength of a promise of clothes, tools or free ride on the railroad cannot be driven into

HOW THE REFORM WORKED
By IRWIN 8 COBB

When the Union troops under Grant, early in the Civil war, took possession of West Ken- lucky, some difficulty was encountered in controlling the populace, for that end of the state was hot-bed of southern sentiment, and most of the young men had enlisted in the Confederate army. General Grant issued proc lamations stating that no citizen would be molested unless he undertook to give aid and comfort to the enemy
 In one town in the invaded district, though, there was an elderly gentleman whose sympa- 'thies with the southern cause were especially outspoken. Whenever word came of victory for the southern armies his jubilation was un- disguised
 The Union provost marshal, hearing com- plaints from his men of this mans actions and words, decided to make an example of him. lie sent squad to arrest the offender, and pres ently, under guard, the old gentleman was brought before him.
 Look here," said the provost, "Tm getting tired of your behavior. Every few days hear that you've been going about again spreading reports that our forces have been defeated and bragging about the courage of the other side. Now, then, I've decided to reform you Either you take the oath of allegiance to the Union right now or off you go to a military prison. Which shall it be?"
 The prisoner decided to take the oath. After it had been administered the northern officer felt that further admonition might be in or

NO BLUE LAWS WANTED

"This is motorized age," said c. M. Forbes, manager of the Forbes Tire pany, land it would be a great crime to have blue laws that would make it impossible for one to get automobile service on Sunday. Every Sunday thousands of people here in cars on their Sunday rides. These people would not, for the most part, be able to take their cars out of the garage were the service stations closed. The fact that a motorst feels certain of getting service in case of an acei- dent gives him whole lot of confidence. The majority of people work hard through the week that they have no chance to use thelr cars except on Sunday. Then trip to the country affords them the refreshing out-of- doors air that will be remembered, and will hold them up for the next week. Sunday service keeps few people at work, and makes it possible for the majority of the people ot Birmingham to receive beneficial and pleas ant outing"

CURIO HUNTERS LOOT PHILLIPS FARM

News items from New Brunswick, N. J., where the Hall-Mis murder occurred, report the wholesale footing of the Phillips farm. where the bodies were found, by morbid SOUL venir hunters. One of these items reads as follows
 Thousands of murder fans swept over the Phillips farm on the heels of the murder, ob- literating the very landmarks in their passion for souvenirs. Of the crab apple tree, under which the dead bodies of the slain couple were found, nothing remains but few inches of stump all hacked and scared by the knives of curio hunters"

DUTY OF THE IRISH FREE STATE
 TO CAPTURE DE VALERA

Ramon De Valera, Irish republican leader, seems to have had narrow escape from capture by the Free State forces when house in the outskirts of Dublin was raided Saturday. In another raid Mary MacSwiney, one of the worst trouble makers among the irregulars, was ar rested
 One De Valera is caught and locked up, the Free State will have less difficulty in restoring order in Ireland. It is surprising that heshas not already been captured and the provisional government would be suspected of making only half-hearted attempts to find him, were it not for the fact that he has barely eluded capture on several occasions, getting away only few hours before the Free State soldiers arrived.
 As long as De Valera is at large he will con- tinue to foment civil war in Ireland, and his misguided followers will make every sacrifice to protect him. There is no patience any where outside of Ireland with the rregulars who are making stupid and hopeless figh. against the Free State, causing needless loss of life and destruction of property.
 The sooner the provisional government ar rests De Valera the quicker it's work will be done. There will be no prospect of peace while he is at liberty.

IGNORED ALABAMIANS

From the Anniston Star.
 w. P. c. Harding an Alabamian and former head of the federal reserve system, has been asked by the President of Cuba to visit that country and help adjust the financial diffi- cultes which face the Cuban government.
 United States Senator Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama has been invited by the Chinese government to go to Picking and inaugurate a traiff system for China
 MT. Harding will be able to go to Cuba, and it is a foregone conclusion, because of his extraor- dnary financial ability, that he will be able to straighten out Cuba's financial tangle. MT. Underwood finds it impossible to go to China, but he doubtless will give tariff pointers to the Chinese statesmen that will be of very great assistance in framing a tariff law for the country.
 These distinguished honors conferred upon two sons of Alabama give evidence that Ala bama is maintaining the high standard of it's citizenship ability we'll It is part of history now that General Gorgas, an Alabamian res cued Panama and the Panama Canal Zone from the death grip of yellow fever and malaria, and rendered service to the world which will ever make his name honored among men. It was Hillary Herbert, an Alabamian, who was placed at the head of the American naval portfolio at a time when it was not considered in the north that southern men had any right to appoint ment to high places under the government, and it was he who started the American navy upon the wonderful career of development that has marked it in recent years.
 Morgan and Pettus, in the United States Senate, represented for many years the splen- did citizenship of Alabama and made this state famed for the statesmanship of it's sons. It was Gen. Joseph Wheeler, an Alabama hero of the Civil war; who won fame in Cuba as military leader after he was past 60 and demonstrated to the world that being a southern warrior in the old days does not keep man from being an American patriot of later years
 Alabama has good reason for being proud of her many distinguished sons. They have we'll maintained the fame of the state in many lines of endeavor and those who are now on the scenes and those who come after them may be expected to continue maintaining Alabama s reputation for producing brilliant and capable men.
