The radicals, it may be assumed,
want change mainly for the destruc-
ton of the existing order of things-a
change in the entire social and po-
litical fabric. The farmers expect
this change to build up prosperity.
The radicals count upon a change to
tear down everything that exists, and
supplant it with a reign of socialism
and in the end communism. -,
1t will be a powerful combination
if the two elements can continue to
work together and IL the success of
their efforts encourages emulation in
other states.
It is not to be presumed for a mo-
ment that the majority sentiment of
the United States is in sympathy with
this movement of restlessness and
change or that il inclines to socialism
or communism. 1t is a fact. however
that the great mass of the people are
too incredulous of and Indifferent to

DR.. Bush, who Is conducting q

ct the game Of appearing before

role. Then came the urge 20
leave the White way flat for the
ministry. A Prairie town offered
him q chance at $50 month.
That led him to other pulpits and
eventually to the study Of applied
Psychology. Since his rise in that
field he has brought new hope

NEW ANGLE ON
DOMESTIC
LIFE

FOR the full week beginning
next Sunday afternoon the Pal
ace viii show one of the most
emphatic screen successes offered
by Paramount in many months.
It is Charles Maigne's picturiza-
tion of .aThe Silent Partner" a
screen version of the story that
Macmillan Foster originally
wrote for the Saturday Evening
Post, and which has been adapt
ed to the screen with cast head
ed by Leatrice Joy, Owen Moore
and Robert Edeson.
The central idea Of Mr.. Eos
ter's story is embodied in the
sacrfficial willingness Of wife to
permit the world to believe her
cold. rnercenary and a heartless
spendthrift of her husbands
money, in order that she may
carry out her daring plan 10 save
her husband from the financial
ruin that she believes to be
threatening him. In short, it is
the story of a wife who, having
her husbands interest deeply at
heart, IL really accommodating q
fortune unknown to, him from
the sums of money he lavishes
upon her.
This. OF course, is merely the
central idea OF an extremely dra-
matte and powerful theatrical
cOnception. that includes in its
main development the machina.
ions of an Inscriptions EN-
ployer's beautiful wife and the
apparent revelation OF that worn-
ans perfdy at a time when the
husbands financial house OF
cards Is swept away before his
eyes.
