POIU PALACE

That little Jackie Coogan has f. nalIy come into the period of his greatest possibilities seemed to be the consensus of opinion of the thousands of patrons who have seen him in "Oliver Twist at the PoH Palace since Sunday night.
 That Jackie has equaled with his precocious genius and his marvellous instinct for acting. all the opportuni ties the role of Oliver afforded is equally certain and that he will ex- tend his circle of admirers by many millions more throughout the world by his fine work in this immortal tale of Dickens.
 Up to his appearance in "OIiver Twist little Jackie has been ac- claimed as great comedian and some have said that he only second to Chaplain, but after you witness Jackie's silent drama performance in Oliver Twist you will be convinced that he is a great tragedian and not a comic after all. Chaplin is con sidered a great comedian rather than tragedian because he seeks to fash ion his antics after a pattern that appeals to the heart of a child. But Jackie COogan is a child, a serious minded one, who probes into the dim past of grownups and presents the retrospect of childhood's seriousn ess and therein lies the tragic quality of his acting. A little boy trying to be funny Is not comedy, but there is ineffable pOignanCy in the sight of @ tattered little scalawag trying to shoulder the trouble of a universe.
 If you miss seeing ''Oliver Twist you miss seeing the years finest con- tributiOn to the screen.

REED NOT AGAINST WILSON-YET.

Senator Reed, who has been renominated by the
Missouri Democrats declared throughout the primary
campaign that he not enemy of former Presi-
dent Wilson, politically otherwise, and that the
former President did understand his position on
questions his motives He will probably
be even more vehement in protesting that he is not
opposed to the Presidentunt after the cleo
tion-for he will stand absolutely no chance of re-
detection unless he hold the support of those
Wilson Democrats who opposed him SO strongly in the
primaries.
While Senator Reeds close victory will have
tendency to damage influence of the former Presi
dent in his party it should not be forgotten that
there were two Wilson Democratic candidates in the
field again him, whose combined vote exceeded his
and further that repeated declarations of his ad
mration of the former President and his Administra
Ition made nomination possible 1t allayed the re-
sentiment against him for opposing the President on
the League of Nations enough to cause many voters
to cast their ballots for him account of his OPP
position to the Volstead Act and for other reasons
Ton the other hand he lost of the ant-Wilson
men by his action. They had other place to go

Recalling Seward Prophecy.
Seattle Times. J

Recommendation is made by committee that
there be placed upon the William H. Seward memorial
in Volunteer Park, this famous prediction of the Civil
War statesman:
THE Pacific Ocean, it's shores, its islands
+ and the vast regions beyond, will become the
chief theatre of events in the worlds great
hereafter"
Seward did not throw this prophecy off at random
las sparks fly from the beaten iron the anvil Nor
was he merely CHANGING statement in the heat OF
debate.
This age as all other ages forgets that the gener-
alton that has before has had the benefit of al
most much historic experience as its own 1t is
Significant circumstance that nearly every American
who has attained prominence in national affairs has
been profound student OF history The men who
framed the Constitution acquainted with all the
political experience of the past. The Revolutionary
movement had developed in the colonies fervor for
research of this kind and had inspired discussions of
Roman Grecian, French, British and other govern
mental theories, experiments and successes which
powerfully Influenced the thoughts of the constitu-
tional convention
So in his day, Seward apprized of the world S
age-od quest for the Indies He knew as every stu
dent of history does today, how greatly that search
for land of tabled wealth in Asia had affected the
history the commerce and the political ambitions Of
nations back and beyond the Grecan
He visualized the future in the light OF the past
At the time his prophecy seemed daring-impossible
because transitory epoch in Western development
had centered mans attention upon the Atlantic the
sea route the vast new lands of the Americas
But. he knew the time would come when trade and
adventure again would seek the Indies populous rich
and immensely productive.
We sitting at the water gate through which now
flows and always will flow the greater measure OF
Americas commerce with the Pacific, know Seward
was right in his predietion-but even we, while honor
ing his prophecy, do not know how greatly he was
right 1t will remain for another generation to learn
that through experience with commercial argosies and
international problems dwarfing in magnitude any
thing of which the Pacific now has knowledge.

Augustus Thomas, Super.Prompter.
New York POst.)

New York Post)
Just how much does the appointment of Augustus
Thomas, dean of American playwrights, executive
chairman of the Producing Managers Association
mean? Is he actually to have control the plays
produced by this organization of practically all the
managers of the country? No definite announcement
is made to the power given him. Is it comparable
to that of Judge Lands in professional baseball and
VIII Hays In the film world? According to his own
statement, he is expected to compose differences of
every kind between actors, managers, dramatists,
and play people generally well as to look for
Nthe interests of the public.
There be question of the excellence of
the choice of the managers if he is to have a sort

has written many successful pieces and never has
offended good taste with suggestive word deed.
His plays have been clean, and his voice has
always been for clean plays His denuncation of
the wilfully obscene saacous and immoral play has
always been made in uncertain terms. If he is
to rule upon decency the stage the very best

Much has been written and said against the CEN

JUST NONSENSE.
fMsl ~ =

One hears a good deal of nonsense now and again
from other Alaska about the coast region.
None is more nonsenscal than the sometimes made
remark The coast not Alaska at ALL Alaska is the
Interior and Seward Peninsula regions" The abb
surdty of such a remark is instantly recognizable
when it is considered that Alaska became known
through the activities of people the coast. Sitka
in Southeastern Alaska established 119 years
to the United States nearly ffy-fve years For
Alaskan activity was confined to the coast In those
days people talked of Alaska (the coast country
and the Yukon (the interior country Nearly all
of the real sourdoughs who went into the Yukon
country prior to 1S97-thiry years after the acqusi-
ton of Alaska-had experience at Juneau or other
coast points before going there To that the
Alaskan country is not Alaska therefore, is
equivalent to saying that Alaska began with the Kon
dixie stampede. There pioneers on the Alaskan
coast who still look upon the Klondike stampeders
as chechakos and upon Dawson, Fairbanks and Nome
as new mushroom towns still in the experimental

their people and all phases of Alaskan history
