SUPREMACY
 BETWEEN TWO FAMILIES

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 27. - The Conroy family of Ogden and the Rom- ney family of Salt Lake City, are having merry battle for the family athletic supremacy of Utah, but the Romneys appear to have a safe hold on the honors because there are more Romneys than Conroys.
 Three Conroy boys have gained fame as football players and one is a college wrestler while the five Rom ney brothers specialize in gridiron work

MOVIE

AS Whistling Dick, the tramp, in Goldwyn's polarization of o. Henry's popular story of 'Whistling Dicks Christmas Stocking" renamed "An Unwilling Hero" for the silversheet, which will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight, Will Rogers has one of the most characteristic roles in which he has ever appeared It fits him to a T and Is filled to the brim with the charm, the humanity, and the homely appeal which Rogers al ways exerts over an audience wheth- CT he is before them in the flesh or upon the screen.
 The picture was directed by Clar- ence Badger and in the supporting ] cast are such favorite Goldwyn play CTS as bewitching little Molly Ma l lone, John Bowers, Darrel Foss, Ed Kimball, Nick Cogley, Jack Curtis and others.
 "A Tale of Two Worlds" which will be shown at the Empress The ater Sunday reveals much for the photoplay goer to be thankful for. In the first place, it has a story, a really gripping story of love and intrigue. This exciting tale is by Gouverneur Morris, one of the emi- nent authors whose productions are being made at the Goldwyn Studios. It was directed by Frank Lloyd.
 A second point of satisfaction is the acting of beautiful Leatrice Joy as the American girl. Not only is the acting in "A Tale of Two Werlds" excellent, but the production itself equals any that has yet come from the deldwyn wershepj and this is no small praioe.
 :! One of the scenic features of the picture is the faithful reproduction of Chinese street in San Fran cisco. It is real enough for natives to recognize the shops. All in all, this picture not only tells a good story in a splendid manner, but also reveals page of history beautifully and dramatically portrayed

 can plan, Is strongly condemned by Chinese Assemblymen, writes Edna Lee Booker.
 SHANGHAI, Jan. 27.--A strong pro- test against co-education in China has been lodged with the Kiangsu Provi- sional Assembly by leading Assembly men on the ground that the "evil swS- tenn" of co-education Is incompatible with the Chinese conception of mor- ality.
 Co-education as it exists in Amer ica was denounced also by certain As semblymen who have studied and tra- 1 yelled in the States.
 One of the Assembl blymen is quoted as having told the staid dignified body of Chinese officials that in the American co.edueational institutions stress is not laid on learning. The coed schools and colleges were marriage marts' rather than in. ] stitutions for study" he stated, "and the young men made themselves laughing stocks by dressing up in faddish clothing. giving more time to the selection of neckties, sox and ties than history, and went through fool ish antics in order to win the inter- est of the fair co-eds."
 Certain Assamblymen painted sad picture of the modern American girl. They said that their interest was not in their studies, but in "sfiaking their eyes" so as to attract a future hus- band.
 1 The Assemblymen held up their Hong slim hands in horror. If co.edu- cation was bad for the boys and girls of America-what would co-education do to the young men and women of China? \ 1 The whole fabric of Chinese society fails to pieces with the inauguration Of the co,educational system, assert

 While admitting that the co-educa- tional system may be sound economi- ! cally, they hold that mere uOllarS anu cents should not overweight the moral | issues involved.
 The Assemblymen strongly asserted that the co-educational system in China might be taken as prelimi- nary step to the reform of the Chinese marriage customs which have been in vogue for centuries, but that this was not so.
 "The Chinese marriage customs are( good and do not need to be reformed '| asserted on Assemblyman. Foreign CTS often meet their future mates inI coffee houses, dance halls and school rooms, but the Chinese do not have to worry about this problem"

tion definitely comes up for action
here.
If the United States were to adopt
the line of least resistance and the
greatest ease it would at once cut
loose all lines of guardianship over
the Philippines and let the people Of
the archipelago go their own way with
out hindrance or supervision. There is
nothing in continued protectorate for
this country. The government Of the
islands has cost the United States
heavily and has involved it in many
embarrassments. But it is regarded as
trust, which must be faithfully dis
charged. 1t would be easy to let go
and turn the insular administration
entirely over to the numerically small
but politically dominant group that
has been so persistently clamoring for
immediate and complete independence.
But 1t would not be a faithful execu-
tion Of the trust that was assumed a
quarter of century ago, when, as a
chance result of the Spanish-American
war, the United States took over the
provisional control of the islands to
prevent internecine warfare and for
eign aggression.
Vigorous propaganda work is in
progress both here and in Manila. An
effort is being made to convince the
American people that the, islanders are
being farshly treated and deprived of
their rights. And simultaneously an
effort is being made to convince the
Filipinos that the American press Is
universally sympathetic with the in
sular aspiration for immediate and
unqualified independence. Neither ef-
fort is likely to succeed. The Philip
pines question is not new to this coun-
try The matter will be considered
upon it's merits by the administration
and by Congress.
Some day 0e United States will let
go. But it will not be hastened into
that action by embarrassment or by
the mischievous partisan work of an
island group ambitious to gain control.
1t will carry on at Manila until 1t will
be safe for the islanders, and for It,
self, to let go. The present action is
not to be regarded as demonstration
of that readiness for complete indie.

I've learned to view it with alarm
Just now.
L used to think the most you did was
to invite the blossoms hid
Below
The ground to break the loamy lid
And grow.
But when I put on overalls my fellow
farmers paid some calls
To chat.
My pride, since having many falls,
Lies fiat.
They did not talk of corn and beans or
hay, no, not by any means,
To me.
AS they rode up in their machines
With glee.
They talked about the money mart
and economics and the part
They'd play
TO head off folks who got too smart
Some day.
An outcast then I mutely stood, the
blockhead of the neighborhood.

To find they thought no farmer should
Dig dirt!

Government and Coal Supply.

Comfort is to be had from the report
that the bureau of mines has a COM
prehensive and detailed plan for gov
ernInent control and operation of the
anthracite coal mines ready to be put
in force on about twenty.four hours
notice" 1t is said that President
Harding has approved the plan. and
that "those who know the details of
this plan and the inward workings of
the coal business declare that there is
no doubt that it would work effective
ly." 1t is further said that "those who
are now endeavoring to reach a wage
agreement know all about it." The re-
port is calculated to reassure people
that they will not suffer for coal next
winter, and that they will not be forced
to pay q higher price than that at
which coal is now selling. AS long as
and selling coal know all the details of
this government plan there would
seem to be no harm in letting coal
consumers know the details of the
measure which may be taken for their
protection. but if the bureau Of mines
and the President believe that they
have a workable plan for protecting
people against misery and extortion
most of us will be willing to take their
word for it and let it go at that.
1t is clear that the government
when it considers the case serious
enough means TO take control of the
anthracite mines and operate them.
There was something positive in the
Presidents late warning that there
must not be coal strike, and it is now
plain that behind that warning was
this plan for putting the mines under
government control. Such a plan Is
not viewed with pleasure by operators
or miners, and the very threat of un-
kings or coal bandits in coming to an
agreement between themselves which
will allow coal consumers to live in
peace.
An Associated. Press dispatch
from Boston quotes John Hays Ham
mond, chairman of the Coal Commits
sion, and Thomas r. Marshall, also a
member Of the commission, as saying
that there will not be strike in the
anthracite fields this fall. 1t is likely
that a large ma jority Of thoughtful
persons do not take kindly to the idea
that the government shall go into the
coal.mining business, but if there is no
other way out of the situation every
man will feel that the measure is justi-
fed. People have come to depend on
coal. They feel outraged that men en-
gagged in the coal business should take
advantage of their necessity. to make
extraordinary profits and threaten
them with death from cold IT, they do
not come across with tribute. II there
is no other solution than that part of
the American Army shall be called out
and that the government shall take
over the mines and operate them the
question will have to be solved in that
way.

A Plan to Curb "Bucketeers. >

Another job is now proposed for
Uncle Sam. that of regulating stock
brokers and stock exchanges. The
Peoples Legislative Service, headed by
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Is
to demand of Congress laws that are
designed to protect investors from
"bucketeers." and to see that all ex.
changes and brokers doing an inter-
state business. shall be supervised
much as the national banks and ma.
tiona1 bank officials are supervised to-
day.
Agitation for such laws is not new,
though the efforts hitherto have been
confined mostly to states in which the
exchanges and brokers are located.
But the recent failures Of brokerage
houses in New York have served to
call attention to the evils that exist,
and to emphasize the need Of action
to protect the investing public. 1t Is

Service that In the last two years is7

years ago.
1t is to be expected there will be
tremendous opposition to the proposed
legislation. No business likes to be
regulated. Three suggestions have
been made, however, which are de-
cidedly worth attention. One calls for
licensing of stock exchanges doing an
Interstate business by the federal gov
ernment. Another calls for the licens,
ing of brokers dealing in securities
by the state or federal government,
and the third calls for publicity in
regard to offers Of securities for sale
much in line with the system now OBJ
tanning in England. A law covering
these points would make it far easier
to protect investors in the first in
stance and to punish offenders in the
second.
Congress has already sought to
regulate trading in grain and cotton
futures through legislation. The move.
ment to regulate trading in securities
is in line with this movement. Tn.
doubtedly it will receive strong sup
port in the next Congress
