JOHN BARRYMORE'S
NEW FILM ROLE.

John Barrymore, whose screen ap-

ty rather than quantity, is to be seen
at the Kenworthy theatre, tonight for
three days, in a characterization
which he has declared to be the most
interesting he has ever made-none
other than fiction's greatest detecticve
Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes" was directed
by Al Parker. Perhaps no other
character in fiction is SO universally
liked and known, and from all indi-
cations, the same universal interest is
attaching itself to the perturbation of
the famous detective story. Aside
from the magnet of having SO dis
tinguished an actor essay the stellar
role, the supporting cast has been
with such definite care and de-

tons. but is advocating the general
principle, with which most of the
thinking people will agree.
Among the propositions OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission is one
which the people of this section are
very much interested in, namely, a
combination of the Philadelphia &
Reading. Central OF New Jersey, and
the Baltimore & Ohio railroads into
one big organization.
In response to this proposition,
President Agnew 7. Dice, of the P. 4
R., has made protest against its con-
summation. And from a perusal OF
the protest we must say that we think
President Dice has taken a correct
stand on the question. He does not
oppose the general principle, but does
object to the Reading and Jersey Cen
trail being absorbed by the B. & o.,
which would be the outcome if the
proposition is carried out. President
Dice gives a mass of statistics, many
of which go to prove his contention;
and also shows that a combination
with two other roads would be OF more
and greater benefit to the public at
large and the stockholders and bond
holders as well.
From newspaper reports We have
learn that an officer OF the Pennsyl-
vania system has also made protest
against that proposed combination,
using not only President Dice's argu-
ments but others equally as forcible.
II seems TO us that il we are TO have
railroad combinations, if it is neces-
sary and for the public good that
there be fewer railroad corporations,
it must be accomplished by giving due
consideration to conditions in each
section, and not through trying to en-
force an idea without such considera-
ton. In other words the railroad Off
cials are the ones who know what
combination will be OF the best advan-
tage. and not those who do not u
them. Give the railroads a chance to
work our their destiny themselves,
and If they fail it will be time enough
for outsiders to take a hand and say
what must be.

LET THE BIBLE o

Heretical, rationalistc forces do
not seem to be satisfied with the
wreck they have produced. They
are responsible for the late war.
They are also responsible for the
crime wav sweeping this country
and Europe. The orgy Of sin and
crime can be traced directly to
false teachings.
Like the vultures they make a
Feast Of the decaying carcass. Not
satifed with the murder, expense,
wreck, and ruin produced, they have
written a shorter Bible which viii
perpetuate the orgy.
The astonishing thing is that
there are leaders connected with
the certain religious organizations
who have lent their names and their
influence to the infamous. her-horn
production called tie Shorter Bible.
r these organizations permit their
names and the names Of their
leaders to be attached 70 this a1or-
ton, then the righteous. orthodox
Christian forces of America should
crush them. Our boys and 2irls
cannot be entrusted TO the leader-
ship OF to the educational and Grub
features Of institutions drawing
their sustenance from the churches
of the living Christ, to have the
faith Of those children undermined
by such Infamous attacks upon
Gods ~infalHbIe Word.
The Shorter Bible. so called, is
one Of the most blasphemous at
tacks that has been made upon
Gods Holy Bible.

willing to submit the point to arbi-

Even where the governments ac-
ton is approved the plain spoken
phraseology OF the note caused as
tonishment. although that astonish-
ment was mingled with satisfaction
that the government used language
which the commentators indorse.
Among those who oppose the line
the government has taken there Is

stand in his own defense this morn
ing and barred the story of his life.
In a voice so choked with emotion
as to compel him TO halt at intervals

With head hung low. his face deep

pretty waitress bookkeeper upon
whom he had lavished gifts of lin

Kepner was sitting beside his at

his head and halt. However, he
