Where is the Difference

Should a man refuse to deliver
a horse he had sold at a certain
price because he could get more
money from another person, he is
held in the greatest contempt by
everyone who learns Of his per.
fidiOps acts. But teachers all
over the country are getting
schools and not taking them ii
they can get larger salary else
where. These same teachers are
held as models as well as teach.
ers. They are poor models with.
out question, and generally the
person who will breach a contract, +,
oral or written, when entered in.
to with people of honor, make
bad teachers and are wholly unfit
to train the minds of the young.

The Strike

The railroaders' strike has af-
fected Clay City but little, but
at many other places it has Sc.
riously crippled business. Par
ticularly is this true at Irvine
and Ravenna where more than
one thousand men walked out
July lst. There has been a slight
reduction In freight rates, but
the cut on the employees of the
road will take care of that al.
right. The indications now are
that most of the men will soon
go back to work, and the matter
be adjusted at leisure later. Most
of the railroad men in this terri.
tory voted against the strike, and
are now out against their will.

Our Governments a Burlesque

The Court of Appeals ruled the
new registration law out of exist.
ence because of defects. This
too after thousands of dollars had
been spent for blanks. The same
day the papers tell us the State
is $5, 100000 in debt. And all Of
this too brought about by govern.
ment by the most learned and
educated of the State. They seem
to be unable to ever get in any.
thing correct even after taking
ten times too much time at doing
a job. o! for the good old days
when those in control were at
least partially honest and so many
crooks were uneducated and
soon landed In the penitentiary
where thousands of prominent
citizens and officials should be,
but escape because of shrewdness
and much misguided learning.

"THEN Leon Barry. one Of the
" most distinguished of French
actors was cast to play an
important role opposite Pauline
Frederick in 1.-THE Lure Of Jade"

greatest distinction that had been
conferred upon him since his arrival
in America.
I'm my country" said Barry,
Miss Frederick Is called the Bern
hardt OF the screen Personally
believe her to be without q peer in
this country. She more nearly re-
sembles the Continental actress in
her dramatic talent than any other
actress whom / have met or played
with here. She has the poise, the
personality, and what we term, the
authority that is to be found only
in the true artist.
'It would be impossible to play
with Miss Frederick and give bad
performance. That is because of
the magnetism Of her personality
which Is so powerful that II calls
forth only the best in one who is SO
fortunate as to be cast with her.
''It Ii an honor to know a woman
like Miss Frederick, and to play
with her Is a profound privilege"
Barry for more than eight years
played opposite Sarah Bernhard and
Madame Rejane, In all their later
successes.
