MASTERLY OPERA
TO Be OFFERED
BY RAWLINS

The cream of Wyoming's Easter
music. a dramatic opera by Theodore
DuBois-"The Seven Last Words of
Christ"-is to be offered at Parco
theatre next Sunday night, through
the kindness of Mr.. w. H. Hunt and
members of several Rawlins choirs.
The piece is a story in music, and
in its simple beauty lies It's dramatic
power. Although this opera is per-
haps the most difficult of the several
Easter musical dramas, It's present
alton in Rawlins was one OF the most
enthusiastically received Easter eff
forts in this state.
THE Seven Last Words of Christ
moves forward through successive
steps of descriptive music. Intro
duced simply with the first of the
seven spoken words, the drama pass
es, throug periods of emotional stress
to the calm acceptance of victory
over defeat. In the final proud answer
of Christ to the jibes of the Jews II
am atirst."
A cordial welcome is waiting for
all, at this presentation in the Parco
church at eight o'clock next Satur-
day night.

The most difficult engineering
problem struck in the laying of this

have been cautiously made. and three
small tunnels have been completed,

Need for Economic Development.
It is obvious that the Philippines
have great need and plenty of room
for economic development, And here
is where we come TO the crux of
the whole Filipino independence
question. The pivotal point Of this
problem like all other colonial
questions Of imperialist exploitation,
lies in the investment of foreign
capital by the financiers and indus
trialists of the more developed cap
itaIist countries. The movement of
the Filipino people for national in
dependence is inextricabiy tied up
with the titanic struggle now being
waged by the dominant capitalist
powers for raw material and new
spheres of influence.
The Filipinos want capital. They
need capital. But they do not want
to give themselves away in bondage
to foreign capitalist masters, they
do not want to surrender their ma
tional independence in order to Sc
cure this capital. The Filipino
people would ike to have the foreign
capitalist come in, invest his cap
ital, get his profit, big as it might
be, and then get out of the country,
The Filipinos, however, are deter
mined not to barter away their ma
tionality for the capitalist mess of
pottage, for the help that the for
eign banker or manufacturer might
give them.
On the other hand, the foreign
capitalist, whether he be American
or English, Italian or French OF
Japanese, just can't see how it can
pay him to sink his capital into the
development of railways, harbors
public utilities, ths drilling of oil
wells, the opening up Of coal and
iron areas, and the exploitation OF
the other natural resources unless
he himself, thru his government, has
undisputed charge or outright own
ership Of these territories 50 that
he might be assured Of the secur-
ity Of his original capital and il
addition be guaranteed a handsome
profit.

THE CRUX OF THE PHILIPPINE CONFLICT B. I0yEsT0NE

Archipelago's total wealth today is
estimated at about $6,000,000,000.
The Philippines are making great
Roadway in economic development.
The value of their six leading agri-
cultural products-rice, corn, sugar,
hemp, cocoanut, and tobacco has in
creased almost 300 per cent, from
1926, 100000 to $343,500,000 in the
period 1917-1920.
From 1903 to 1918 the number of
manufacturing plants increased 156
per cent and the value of their prod
ucts rose 754 per cent. The cocoa
nut oil factories, sawmills, sugar and
rice industries have been making
especially noteworthy progress. The
Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Co. and the
Earnshaws Slipways and Co. have
built modern iron and steel foundry
plants and ship construction yards.
In the period 1917-1920 the total
annual foreign trade of the Philip
pines practically doubled, rising from
about $50 million dollars TO more
than three hundred million dollars.
In the 25-year period of American
domination, Philippine trade with
the United States has risen from
the meager share Of II per cent in
1900 to 65 per cent for the first ten
months of 1928. Cotton and cotton
goods, iron and steel, machinery, au-
tomobiles, wheat, flour, meats and
dairy products chemicals, dyes and
drugs are among the leading arti-
cles exported by America TO the
Philippines. Hemp, cigars, leaf to-
bacco, cocoanut oil, hats, lumber,

BIGGEST AID TODATE
Sam Rattenberg, One of New
ark's Hustlers, has Wonder
full Bargains to Offe-

Newark merchants, with few eX-
ceptions, have been good patrons OF
the Leaders advertising columns
ever since the paper was established,
and their evidence of friendship and
good will towards the cause of Labor
has been appreciated by the working
people of Newark to their own advan-
tage and the benefit of their friends.
During it's successful career the
Leader has carried many large ad-
vertisements from progressive mer-
chants-often an entire page. But
this week we take off out hat to our
good friend Sam Rattenberg, who
breaks the record by coming out with
two-page spread announcing his
great stock removal sale of shoes of
every style and description at hither-
to unheard of prices. He has also
instituted a new department where
you may buy your house dresses, ap--
rons, boomers, ETC., for women and
children at the same attractive fig
ures. The garments are ready-to-
wear, or you may select your mate
rial and they will be made to measure.
The sale commences today at nine
o'clock a. M, and its magnitude just
flies the amount of space he thinks
necessary to tell our readers about
the many good things he has on hand.
This is not a means of disposing of
a lot of leftovers, everything is new
and fresh, and there is $4,000 worth
of it which must be sold within four
teen days. Read the advertisement
carefully, there is something for you
and for every member of your family,
from grandmother to the baby. And
in addition to the record breaking
prices, Mr. Rattenberg has 10000
free gifts which he will distribute
among his friends who call on the
opening days-Friday and Saturday,
November % and 20. Call and get
yours.
The Leader takes pleasure in say
ing that Mr.. Rattenberg has been
staunch friend of the paper and lib
eral and constant advertiser and pa
tron ever since it was started, and
has always contributed in every way
to the success of Labor's cause. He
is entitled to and should receive the
patronage and support which he so
we'll merits.

COL. PERRY CALLS

Col. D. L. Perry, the "Dirt Farm
er" of Columbus, who gave us such a
stirring address on Labor Day, and
who in addition to being a successful
tiller of the soil is an auctioneer OF
national reputation, was in town this
week to sell some of George Kelsey S
blooded cattle.
While in the city the Colonel was
a more than welcome visitor at the
Leader office. He came not only for
social call but also to express his
appreciation to the Trades Assembly
of the fine umbrella presented to him
by the committee as a slight token
of remembrance after his emphatic
refusal to accept any remuneration
for his splendid Labor Day speech.
Col. Perry has the interest of Lab
or and the working man at heart, and
has accepted an invitation to visit and
address the Newark Trades Assembly
at an early date, due notice of which
will be given.1
