EDITORS NoTE.--In the last Is.
sue of The Patriot. a contributor, who
preferred TO call himself AN indie
pendent Voter" attacked the serio,
Of articles written by "Mortlake,
The Patriots political observer a,
Hartford. The attack was made on
the ground that the Mortlake articles
were written in defense Of the Repub-
liean machine a, directed by J. Henry
R,Srabsek. Specifically independent
Voter" named what he termed three
specific oHenses Of the Republican
machine in the last session Of the leg
islsture. These three ohenses were
the repeal Of the civil service, the
treatment of Governor Tempieton by
the Legislature in overriding his veto
of the so-eaiied Kent Hubbard" bill,
the treatment Of the petition for the
United States to enter the World
Court, and the disregard of the body,
TO those measures sponsored by the
League Of Women Voters. In his
article "MortIske" replies to the a,
tack on two points. His reply Is as
follows

MED the right to serve the state by
the passage Of the bill He had his
choice Of two positions, He could
have remained a member ~ the re-
formatory commission and serve the
state without pay. or he could have
remained a member Of the board Of

$1,000 attached He could not have
both positions, but he could have re-
tanned either by resigning the other.
He elected TO continue in the position
10 which there was a salary attached.
There was no injustice done him.
The Democrats in the senate and IN

Movie Note.
The Bondboy"

Richard Barthelmess in "The Bond
boy" which was shown at the Victory
Theatre last Wednesday and Thurs.
day, may not have duplicated the tire
mendous succcss Of his first starring
picture. "Torable David" but he did
succeed IN bringing TO the screen
some Of the finest and most praise
worthy acting that she films have pro
duced in many DAY As matter
Of fact, there is no little use in de-
ngang that Barthelmess IS the pre-
eminent actor Of the moving pictures.
Technically and from every other
point of view his performance IF the
role Of the fear-hauuted youth con.
victed Of q crime which be did not
commit, could hardly be surpassed or
the spoken stage. "The Bondhoy" IS
poignant, wearing. driving tragic
picture. almost devoid Of any relief
whatever. II is almost Russian IN rs
tsavedy, but il is a splendid and
memorable picture nevertheless

Chicago Produce Market


Reports of general rain and snow
in the drought area of the southwest
had Il bcarish effect on the wheat mar
ket today. Prices closed weak ct to
&c decline. with May 11St to lisa and
July 11ia to 114t. Corn lost im16. and
oats aMa to sax. In provisions the
outcome varied from a setback of five
cents to rise of 2kT5 cents.
Weather developments were the re-
verse of what had been expected by
the bulls in the wheat market News
of moisture over much of western Kan
sas was in particular considered impor-
tant. as that section has for long
tim9 been the most persistcntly dry
spot on the map. During the early
dealings. however. Speculative buying
of wheat on the part of ira who
simultaneously were selling corn, gave
temporary upturn to wheat values
but when this buying of wheat was at
an end the wheat market showed weak
ness throughout the remainder Of the
day.
