Philosophy of a Raja.

THE philosophy of The Raja of
Rukh as expressed by William
Archer in "The Green Goddess. +"
which George ArIiss will play here.
is shown in the following excerpts
from the play.
1--WE know very well that we are
barbarians We are quite reconciled
to the fact. We have had some
5000 years to accustom ourselves to
il.
II look at the stars az little as pos
sible. AS spectacle they are mon
otonous and they don't bear thinking
of. Don't you think they're rather
ostentatious? Think Of the Mahar-
ala up yonder who night after night
whistles up his glittering legions and
puts them through their deadly pune
tual drill az much as to say. See
what a devil of fellow I am" Do
you think 1t quite in good taste?
This mosquito or any smallest
thing that has life in it is to me far
more wonderful than whole lifeless
universe.
isn't one inhabited world bad
enough? Do we want it multiplied
by millions? Haven't you just been
telling US that living gnat is more
wonderful than dead universe
Wonderful? Yes. by all means
wonderful as a device for torturing
and being tortured.

Introducing George
Barnes,

WANDA LYON. the new leading
woman of the repertoire COM
pany at the President, having been
duly presented, the President Players
now turn to the task of introducing
to Washington another prominent
member of their cast. George
Barnes Of Los Angeles. Denver. Seat
tie and the far west in general.
George Barnes will make his bow
tonight as the new leading man of
the players. From now on, his name
will be prominently coupled with that
Of Miss Wanda Lyon in the billing"
of productions at the President, for
these two players have taken over
the positions in the company form
erly held by Miss Eileen Wilson and
Henry Duffy. the latter CO director of
the entire enterprise.
Mr.. Duffy had heard that in and
about Los Angeles, which has a repu-
tation as great repertoire city, was
a player, who was rated as the
highest paid leading man west of the
Rocky mountains. He had played
in every Pacific coast city of promi-
played over 1900 performances Of the
same show in stock in Denver
Harry Manners. stage director of
the President Players, knew Barnes
personally and he also knew that
Barnes wanted to come east, but he
wanted to come on fairly favorable
terms and up to that time. circum-
stances had not been altogether pro-
pitious. Duffy, however, decided that
Barnes would come to Washington.
If the terms could be made satisfac-
tory. so he Immediately wired the
coast star an offer. which resulted
in Barnes signature to q President
Players contract.
If you've ever seen Otto Kruger. the
well known actor of adam and Eva.
"SOnya." and a few other productions
of similar import. you have fairly
accurate idea Of Barnes physical APP
pearance and size. though his friends
claim he's probably better looking
than Mr. Kruger. when all is said and
done. Barnes. however. is totally I'M
familiar with the east and he re-
CARDS his appearance in Washington
as one of the real glamoro0s adven-
lures of his career.

New Haven, Conn-Robert Hender-
son, secretary of the federation of
shop crafts on the New York, New
Haven q Hartford railroad, secured
a proxy and attended a meeting of
that roads stockholders in this city.
The trade unionist started things
when it was proposed to issue $5,00O,-
600 in bonds to buy new equipment
and replace cash that had been used
to defeat the shop men. "Stock-
holder" Henderson objected.
IF the directors continue this pol
icy of rule and ruin and then ask for
more bonds to buy equipment while
good equipment out of repair is on
the lines, this road will never get
ahead" he said.
IF the stockholders want this pol

"When the New Haven road locked
out its shop men-for it has been a

5000 men onto the bricks. You have
created bolsheviki among men who do
not want bolshevism. Is there no JUS
tice in this board? l say the en-
ployes had cause to strike"
The unionist was finally seated on a
point of order.
General Manager Bardo rose to re-
ply, and Henderson gave notice that
he would ask for time to answer the
official. Mr. Bardo sat down without

LABOR EVILS
Under Convict Contract
System Exposed in
Florida

Tallahassee, Fla.-The death of
Martin Tabert, a North Dakota bow.
IN convict lumber camp in this state.
has stirred Florida from Key West to
the northern boundary. The evils of
convict contract labor has been given
wide publicity, and people are con
Meeting this system with fiogging and
other corporal punishments that have
been inflicted on unfortunate prison
ers.
1t is shown that tho Putnam Lum-
Der Company, in whose camp Tabert
died, was assured a continuous sup
ply of labor by arrests on the smallest
pretext. The county's law enforce
ment machinery was set up for the
purpose of supplying this demand.
Men who were arrested were advised
to plead guilty with the understanding
that they would be either dismissed
or given a light sentence. This per-
mltted the court to adjust the SEN
tence to the labor demands of the
lumber company.
Walter Higginbotham, who is un-
der $4,000 bond to answer first de-
gree murder charges in connection
with the death of Tabert, told the
state legislative committee that he is
known as the whipping boss" for the
Putnam Company. He said he whip
ped convicts as often as three and
four times week and averaged four
men at each whipping. When prison
ers were charged by guards with
Sinking their work, they would be
turned over to the whipping boss"
in true slavery style.
A. B. Shivers, former guard, told
the committee that convicts were fed
on hot water, bacon and corn bread
for breakfast six times a week. He
said Higginbotham brutally fogged
Tabert three days before the youths
death.

AT EN- AGAIN
Seamen Bound Back After
1921 Lockout

New York Wage increases along
the Atlantic coast is demanded by the
international Seamen's Union.
This may have no significance to
the average reader of the daily press,
but not so to the United States ship
ping board and to private vessel own
ers, who started a lockout against
this union two years ago. The eight
hour day was abolished, wages were
reduced and a general anti-union pol
icy assumed.
Officers of the union urged arbitra-
ton, but this was refused.
The seamen asked the board and the
private vessel owners to agree to give
American citizens first preference in
employment. This, also, was refused.
The seamen were defeated all along
the line, while the board and the pri-
vate vessel owners talked about the
need for Americans becoming inter
ested in the merchant marine.
The seamen, however, were neither
fooled nor discouraged. They began
to reform their lines and are now pre-
pared to again give battle if their
opponents of two years ago have
learned no lesson.

JAPANESE MENACE
WEST

Washington.-The japanese are a
menace to the west, attorneys for
California and Washington told the
supreme court of the United States
in arguing the alien land cases before
that body. These states prohibit Jap
anese owning land, and Japs want the
law set aside
"The white people refuse to assimi-
late with the Japanese, and as the
japanese line advances we retreat,
and we do not like to retreat" said
the attorneys.
when the Japanese occupy land in
our states they exclude from it peo-
pie who might become citizens. We
believe our government, state and ma
tional, will be best protected and serv-
ed when our lands are occupied by
those who have sympathy with our
institutions and can be compelled to
contribute to its preservation"
