WILLIAM MACLEOD RAINE was born
in London, England, in 1871, Of Scotch
parents AT the age of eleven he came to the
United States where his father had sawmil
and cattle ranch. After graduating from
Oberhn College in 1914, he took up newspa
per work in Denver and Seattle.
Raine believes in hrst-hand knowledge Of
the setting for what he writes. AS youth
he rode to the all-hight ranch dances where
he picked up local color for his future stories
He went to New Mexico and browsed among
the old-timers to get material for his Gun
sight Pass
Raine has actually lived part of his 70
mances. He received permission from the
governor of Arizona to ride with the Arizona
rangers, lived on aranch near the Galuros,
rode on the round-ups and met many of the
men who came to the southwest when that
territory was still country with the bark on.

Lord Derby
No Futterer

r ORD DERBY, one of our good
English brothers, says that
the American speciality is
giving advice. " A M x Il &c A
SEEMS TO BE MORE FOND
OF GIVING ADVICE THAN OF
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY"
says the noble lord.
What he says has Importance,
at least in England. He is one
of the richest, most powerful Brit
ish peers, with vast lands, many
castles. And he might be the
next prime minister, if England
were silly enough to get rid of
Lloyd George, and trade brains
for birth.
The statement by Lord Derby
reminds you how quickly men for
get. This country has given ad-
vice, and if it had been taken,
Europe might not be so near
bankruptcy. But America gave
more than advice. We lent five
thousand millions to England, and
that money begins to LOOK like
a. gift-no sign of principal or in
terest payment.
We sent three million men in
response to England's pitiful
statement that she was fighting
for her life with her back against
the wall" And we paid England
first-class cabin passage for every
man that went in her ships, al
though they were packed in like
cattle. Lord Derby would be
justified in calling us silly "easy
marks" in war, but we were not
mere advice givers.
Lord Derby represents the real,
tory, permanent, governing back
bone of England and it is we'll to
know how he feels about us.

Chinu's Chiefuin

THE Chinese mind does not easily yield its inner
tents to the Western mind, but if General WI, vic
tor in the recent civil fighting, means what he says
and has the will power to carry it through, the world
ought to be the gamer
He says he aims not at personal power but at the uni
fcaon of his country basis of China for the Chinese
He especially pledges reduction of private armies in the
pay of regional bandits and the development of internal
transportation, notably railroads.
1t is not for American victors in spirited
contests promise great things while flushed with vic
tory So if Wus performance falls short of his pleasing
prospectus can have little reason for surprise.
But the liberal elements in other countries will sim
cerely hope that he will keep his word
China helpless prey to exploitation from without
and within, is standing menace to world peace
Whatever tends to speed the development of national
unity and peaceful progress among these four hundred
million members of the yellow is of benefit to all
mankind

THE platform upon which James A. Reed is running
for reelection to the United States Senate, where
he ranks among the ablest and bravest, is worth
considering in other States than Missouri.

'For return to the fundamentals of democracy.
"For the abolition of useless boards and bureaus.
'For the restoration of business to the people who
created it.
"For the cessation of governmental interference
in the homes and lives of the people.
"For the reduction of taxation.
"For strong National Guard, a small standing
army and effective navy can be had under

"a government which will gratefully render gen.

Uncover Var PrOfteers

0F the 100000 contracts which Government made
~ during the war; only $4,000 have yet been audited.
These $4,000 include of the big contracts.
Yet their audit has provided basis for the recovery of
$46,OO0,OO0
1t surely is time to audit thoroughly the remaining
$4,000 Every day of delay increases both the difficulty
of reclaimng unawully extorted from the people
by profteering and the likelihood of putting the
guilty proiteers into the jas where they belong.
The who took advantage of the peoples patriot
ism to perpetrate gigantic robberes under pretense Of
loyal service deserve mercy.
They will get if the facts dug out of hidden
recesses and made plain
But they will exhaust every of crooked poll
tics keep their crimes covered Nothing but resstess
popular pressure force showdown.
The movement in Congress headed by Royal c. John
of South Dakota for vigorous probing of all those
contracts should be backed by public opinion until it
overcomes every obstacle.

What Would You Give
To Go Back?
BY 8. K. KISER.

THERE'S little town where the yards are
l. wide
And the days are dull and the weeks are
long,
Where the streets lead out to the country
side,
And the courthouse clock has a mellow
gong, :,
Where men are friendly and much inclined
To think in June that the world Is fair,
And what would you give to awake and find
That, instead of doing daily grind,
You were still rollicking boy back there!
THERE'S a little town near a winding
l. stream, -
Where a maiden walked in the dusk with
Where you promised lightly, and learned to
dream
The dreams that never, alas, come true;
Where you packed your satchel, and turned
from play
To take your chance among eager men
Who judge according to each mans pay,
And what is the price you would give today
If you might be boy back there again!
THERE'S little town where the nights are
L still,
Where a cottage crumbles in slow decay;
In the graveyard out on the silent hill
A stone that white is becoming gray;
1t is long since they have been grieved to see
Or soothe the bruises and ills you bore,
Long since they watched Ger you lovingly.
And what would you offer If you could be
boy in that little old town once more!

Revolution in the Movies
THE talking movie is reported
to have come at last. The

THE talking movie is reported
to have come at last. The
- problem has been to syn
chronize the pictured action and
the speech, by working a picture
taking machine and a phono-
graph in combination. But they
did not do good teamwork, they
could not keep in step. 1t was
like harnessing a racer to plow
horse.
Light travels with enormous
rapidity, sound snails along like a
messenger boy. We see the light
ming flash some time before we
hear the thunder.
Mr.. Lee De Forrest, pioneer in
wireless telegraphy and teleph'
ony, has invented a method of
registering the action of the
photo-play and the voice on the
same film; a special device syn
chronizes the two perfectly.
1t means revolution in the
movies. Whole plays and operas
can be produced. When a Broad
way success has finished its road
business, it can be sent to the
smallest hamlet in the country.
To make the illusion of seeing a
real show as though it were an
actuality, two other problems
must be solved: Working De For
rests scheme with color and Civ
ing the solidity and depth to the
pictures that one sees through a
stereoscope.
