Norma Talmadge Scores New Spec.
tacular Triumph in "The Eternal
Flame"
After "Smilin' Through" 1t may
sound almost too good to be true to
say that Norma Talmadge has made
an even better production. But after
viewing her in 1.-THE Eternal Flame,
the First National attraction which
began an engagement at the Colonial
theatre last night, it became evident
that here beyond all doubt Is the
greatest photodrama of Miss Tai
madges career, her Incompatible
achievement to date.
Further than that, 1.-THE Eternal
Flame" proves the supremacy OF
American art on the screen even
over the most ambitious and mas
! sively spectacular productions OF
foreign producers. For 1.-THE Eter-
nal Flame" is a massive and spec
tacular production. a great human
drama that tugs at the heart strings
moistens the eyes, grips with its ORA
matte sweep and warns the soul
Yes, and in it's all embracing HUI
mainly, it at times brings out the
smiles.
Adapted from Honore Balzacs
ia Duchesse de Langeais," with all
the color and pomp and glory of the
Second Restoration Period in the
Court of Louis XVIII, it is an epic
of the screen, and Norma, as the
beautiful and flirtatious duchess, is
superb.-Adv.

The quarters for newspapers men
were so inadequate. and the restric-
lions against them so onerous, that the
reporters voted in boycott in which
they were supported by the newspaper
proprietors. In less than a week the
difficulties were composed.

CROOK RAILROADS
Plead For Sympathy While
Defying Law

Washington.-The pauperized and
abused railroads that are always
pleading for sympathy and "a square
DEAL" are again shown to be law
breakers.
Under the Cummins- -Esch law rail
roads that earn over 6 per cent must
pay one-half of the excess into the
federal treasury for the benefit of
weaker roads. This provision was in
the original law when the railroads
urged it's passage by the biggest pub
licity campaign and the biggest lobby
that was ever assembled in the ma
tion's capital.
Many railroads are earning in ex-
cess of 6 per cent, but they declare
they will not comply with the law be-
cause it is unconstitutional" They
have not even complied with the law
under protest.
In recent speech Clyde M. Reed
chairman of the Kansas public utili.
ties commission, charged the Santa
Fe railroad with hiding its enormous
profits so that when the government
attempts to collect under the Cum.
minsEsch law, there will be nothing
to collect. The Kansas official stated
that this railroad makes no attempt to
observe this law.
On the floor of the United States
senate Mr.. Capper stated that "not q
dollar of these excess earnings above
the 6 per cent fair-return standard
netted by probably go railway systems
under the rate clause of the Cum
minis -Esch law, has been paid to the
government"

RAILROADS BLAMED

New York-The present coal diff
Guilty is because coal carrying rail-
roads have not made peace with their
striking shopmen, said DR.. Royal S.
Copeland, United States senator-elect
and health commissioner of New York,
in speech before bankers in this
city.
Before / said word about this
matter ! sent out my trusty health
inspectors. They went to the outly-
ing coal regions and they came back
and said that the present coal short
age was due to the cars standing on
the tracks, broken down and idle.
"Then | wrote to the president of
the United States and the answer
came back that the president had
known for long time that the cause
of the present coal shortage was that
the carriers had not kept their obli-
cations. Then wrote to the inter-
state commerce commission.
"It's good to be a United States
senator-elect at the same time you are
health commissioner; you get a little
more attention paid to your requests.
They sent man to my office who
told me that the coal shortage was due
to the fact that the locomotives had
broken down on the coal-carrying
railroads and that the coal was not
being carried"

WHOA !!
Pennsylvania's New Govern
or Calls Halt on Special
Police

Harrisburg, Pa.-This state, the
empire of coal and steel, is liable to
lose it's private armies that are main
tanned by feudal barons.
Governor Pinchot announces that
hereafter no such special policemen
will be commissioned Except in the
event of some great emergency" until
their reputation and character have
been fully and even personally inves-
tigated, and until they have been in
dorsed by two reputable Pennsylvania
citizens, who have lived in the state
at least three years.
During the past two years Cover
nor Sproul issued $500 special police
commissions for coal and iron COM
panies and 2,200 for railroad COM
panies. These commissions were is
sued without any examination of the
qualifications of the special policemen
who are beyond the control of state
officials.
"The natural result is that serious
| abuses have arisen," says Governor
Pinchot. "For example, during the
coal strike of last summer not only
were peaceable citizens unlawfully
turned back on the public highways
by private policemen employed by the
companies, but the superintendent of
state police was himself halted by
them when entering a town on official
business.
Life and property must be protect
ed, and for that purpose the means
lawfully provided must be employed.
But it is equally true that the police
powers of the state must not be dele
gated except to those who are known
to be fit to exercise it's functions.
THE special policemen above re-
ferred to have not only been appoint
ed without any effort to determine
their fitness, but once appointed they
are wholly without supervision by
state authorities.
The appointment and action OF
special policemen have heretofore
been subjected to gross abuses. 1t is
time to apply in their selection some
thing of the same care that is used
in choosing others who are authorized
to exercise the police powers of the
state"

RAKE OFF"
Never Overlooked By Those
Backing Private Owner
ship, Says COuzens

Philadelphia.-In a speech in this
city United States Senator Couzens
of Michigan, said he had an "open
mind" on the question, but at this
time it appeared to him that govern
ment ownership of railroads furnished
the only solution.
The speaker said this did not mean
government operation, and that 1--WE
might be able to get along without
undue interference of politicians"
II would like to point out, however,
that there are many worse interfer-
ences than the interferences of poll
ticians," said Senator Couzens.
There is the interference of the
bankers, who must get their rake
off regardless of public service or
the treatment of the men who oper-
ate the railroads.
LET me say to you that the govern
ment can waste considerable money
through ineffciency and politics, and
yet produce service to the public in
many activities at a less cost than
really can be done by private indus
tries that are not in the limelight,
and that have so many ways of cover
ing up their cost through high sala-
ries, extra compensation to directors,
the purchasing of supplies from in
dustries in which directors are inter
ested, and from the rake offs paid
to the bankers who finance them.
president Harding says it was gov
ernment operation that brought us to
the very order of things which we now
rebel, and we are still liquidating the
cost Of that supreme folly, but / note
the absence of proof to sustain that
conclusion.
"It is not my intention to comment
on the governments handling of the
railroads during and after the war,
but simply to say that it would make
interesting reading to show COM
parison of what the railroads did dur
ing the war and what private industry
did to the government"

ROADS MUST SERVE
PUBLIC

Denver-Resolution have been in
troduced in both branches Of the leg.
islature calling on the governor to de-
mand that the railroads provide the
public with transportation, as provid-
ed by law. Throughout the state
come angry protests from farmers
stock men, fruit growers and the pub
lie generally of insufficient service.
The patience of the public is about
exhausted, but the hard-boiled execu-
tives are depending upon their hordes
of lobbyists to convince the legisla-
tors that the union-smashing policy
of railroad managers has nothing to
do with faulty service.

MILLIONS TO SUGAR
FIRMS

Washington.-The cry of "less gov
ernment in business" proved catch
phrase where sugar firms demand
$3,342,000 from the government on
the ground that the government as
sured them against loss in the i'm
portation of sugar to break high
prices during the war.
The house passed the bill despite
fraud charges and claims that the
proposal was a raid on the treasury.
The lobbyists did not claim the bill
was a legal one, but they assumed
a moral attitude and limited that
the government was morally" bound
to hand over more than $3,000,000.
