''WAY DOWN EAST, TO Be
SHOWN AT LOCAL THEATRE

Unusual interest attaches to the Op-
cning Of the coming engagement in
this city of D. w. Griffth's great
spectacle, "Way Down East" which
will be seen for the first time here on
Monday, March IT, at the Dreamland
Theatre. "Way Down East" will be
presented here for a period of four
days.
If such be possible this latest mas
terful production by the genius of the
screen bids fair to eclipse even the
enormous vogue enjoyed by "The
Birth of Nation" Now being offer
ed in the leading cities of the land,
"Way Down East" is attracting capa-
city throngs and seats are sought
weeks in advance. :
This perturbation of the famous
stage success furnished by Lottie
Blair Parker and Joseph Grismer goes
much. farther than the original tale.
Mr.. Griffith has begun where they
halted. He has not made it provin-
cial thing; attempting to explain moth
ing he has welded theory of eternal
love and in so doing has removed his
people from time and period. Pos
sessed of a vision and mentality too
great to be handicapped by anything,
he has brought forth an epic far more
than clever-it has the ring of genius
The simple fun Of plain people is
brought forth in greater measure than
the stage play version could ever hope
to sattain and offers keen contrast to
the sufferings and woe of Anna Moore
her hopes and struggles. Probably
the, greatest cast of capable players
ever:sassemb!ed for motion picture
production was engaged in the making
of this work and it ends in a thrilling
climax of spectacular scenes amid the
veering flaws of a New England bliz
card and the explosive breaking of {
river.ice gorge, all of which enthral
as only Griffith effort can move aud
: fences. The tender moments, tht
| tragic episodes, the laughable situa
s tons and the stirring scenes are &C
Il celtuated by unusual orchestral &C
compartments, pronounced the mos
d ambitious yet attempted in the thea
tre.--Atl $3.50

Parrish January 20, 1849, and on Feb

at said church by Rev. Olson. Here
they spent the first years Of their mar
ried life. Then they moved to Store
lvedalen where they lived Z years.
In the spring of 1880 they bid their
relatives and friends goodbye and
emigrated to America, settling in
Brown County, Mimi, where they
stayed for years. Then they moved
to this county, where they settled on
their present farm in town Of Arctan-
der, where they have lived since and

Gus to such working people if they,
through a socialistic form Of govern.
ment, could assume the role Of the
public" and by their very numbers
dictate for the public what the wages
and working conditions of employees
shall be. 49, 80 T.
Pardon me for suggesting such a
parallel: What is the difference be-
tween Mr.. Lenine fixing the wages
and conditions of the working people
of Russia, and the United States Con-
gress, or some agency created by it,
fixing the wages and conditions Of the
working people in the United States?
The principle is at least similar if not
the same, except that Mr.. Lenine as
sumes to control all legislative pro-
cesses in Russia in behalf of the work
ing people, while in the United Sta
ties, l respectfully submit, the rights
of property are usually considered as
being equal to, if not superior to, the
rights Of labor. -,
If thetheory Of Title III of the Tran
sportatiOn Act is that the United Sta
ties Railroad Labor Board shall be tri-
partisan, it means that on the United
States Railroad Labor Board labor will
have three representatives, the rail
road corporations three representa-
tives, and the public three represent
atives, but, in fact, carrying out such
theory. it would result in an econ
omic alliance between the representa-
tives Of the railroad corporations and
the representatives of the public az
ainst the representatives of labor, and
this would be an unequal representa-
ton for labor, in that labor would
have but three representatives while
the railroad corporations and the pub.
lie combined would have six
Fortunately, it appears that the SO.
called representatives of the public
on the United States Railroad Labor
Board are not in accord with this the
cry and have apparently assumed for
themselves a judicial attitude.
But this it not the attitude Of the
commercial interests in this country
| There is NO question but what cham
bers of commerce, manufacturers as
sociations and other employing inter
ests have used the most coercive me
thods of attempting to dictate to the
representatives Of the public on tn
present United States Railroad Labo1
Board, upon the theory that such pub
lie representatives must protect thu
interests of the public, regardless o
the rights of railroad employees.
During the past public hearings o
the Labor Board it has come to tn
attention of those attending same tina
the railroads had requested, or Undue
ed, the employing interests in tn

REV. JOHN F.. FOSTER.

The Methodist Church, and the
people of Covington generally, will
miss Rev. John F. Foster, who has
for the past year been pastor of the
Methodist Church Of Covington. His
assignment here, where the pure air
and quiet is in soothing contrast to
the hustle and activity of New Or
leans, has been an intermission in
the exacting duties Of large congre-
gational work, yet his work here has
been of considerable accomplishment
for the Church and has won the ap-
probation Of his congregation.
Rev. Foster has been returned
to his duties in New Orleans and will
be followed by the best wishes at all.
One of his late services here was the
dedication of the new. church build
ing on Jefferson Avenue. 500.
