the resignation of Edwin DENLY as

ment that mo official recognition can
be given to the adoption of the senate

The executive declared he did not

man for my own welfare" nor retain
in office "any unfit man for my own
welfare"
"As soon as special counsel can ad-
wise me as to the legality of these
leases and assemble for me the per-
tinent facts in the various transac-
tions, shall take such action as seems
essential for the full protection of the
public interest. shall not hesitate
to call for the resignation of any Of
ficial whose conduct in this matter in
any way warrants such action upon
my part. The dismissal of an officer
of the government, such as is involved
in this case, other than by impeach-
ment, is exclusively an executive func-
ton. regard this as a vital principle

attractive spectacles of "Salomy
Jane" a Paramount picture Monday
at Weir theater. These inspiring
scenes were made possible by huge
battery electric arc lights and the
achievement is one more step in the
advancement of the technique of MAX
ing motion pictures.
Gatherings of the Vigilantes by
night, stage robbery during a mid
night storm, rides along roads bor-
dered by black forests - all these
are made possible by the use of cleo
trio lights.
The George Melford production "Sa-
lomy Jane," is a tale of the romantic
day of '49, when the law was crudely
meted out by the Vigilantes, an or
ganization of settlers formed to keep
the peace.
''The Man," a stranger in Red Dog,
falls victim to this primitive justice.
He is accused of robbing a stage
coach and when about to be led away
to be hanged is kissed goodbye by
Salomy Jane, an impulsive daughter
of pioneer. The stranger escapes,
but Red Pete, also charged with the
hold-up, is hanged. Returning to
thank Salomy for her kiss, the man
meets an old enemy, Baldwin, and in
the struggle Baldwin is shot by an
other man in, ambush.
Fearing that he may be blamed for
Baldwin's death, he attempts to es-
cape by wearing the clothes of Madi-
son Clay, Salomy's father. Larabee,
rough pioneer and an enemy of
Clay's, shoots at the man by mistake.
In the ensuing fight Larabee is
wounded. Dying, he confesses that
Baldwin was the stage coach robber.
The love romance of the stranger and
Salomy ends happily.

BIJOU
Sunday, Monday


A pleasing combination of versa
tile artists in a colorful program of
sparkling songs, comedy and novel
ties with fun predominating and joy
GUS laughter the main attraction.
That's what you will witness on the
new vaudeville bill at the Bijou the
alter on Sunday and Monday next.
This bill is headed by those sterl-
ing gymnasts and acrobatic wonders,
The Wilson's, who present themselves
as a standard act of real merit. Their
audience is kept in suspense and
wonder all through the offering, at
the difficult and sensational feats per-
formed by this clever duo. Fred &
Villa Royce in 'There Comes the
Bride and Away Goes My Liberty" an
uproarious comedy skit consisting of
singing, talking and a sprinkling of
holum delivered in a refined and up
to-date manner. May June & Miles
offer more comedy in "Sign the
Book" which has all the earmarks
of a travesty inasmuch as all the
characters are cleverly impersonated.
They carry vein of comedy through
out and finish with a laughing punch.
Fred and Patty, dancers de luxe, is
the other offering.

Starting Tuesday

The girl stared out of the barred
window of her prison cell with un-
seeing eyes. Her thoughts were on
the morrow. With her back barred,
she was to be flogged in public
whipped like a cur with thousands of
curious eyes looking on.
Beside her was a youth, who tried
to console and help her, despite the
fact that the dawn would witness his
death before a firing squad. But all
his thoughts were for the maiden. She
was responsible for his predicament,
but he had forgotten that fact in his
great love and sympathy for her.
Suddenly
But we do not wish to spoil for
you one of the greatest dramatic mo-
ments ever seen in a photoplay. The
denouement of this thrilling situation
can be seen in "The Dangerous Maid"
which is coming on Tuesday to the
Bijou theater for three days engage
ment. Constance Talmadge is the
star of this First National picture,
which is declared to be the finest in
which she has ever appeared. In it
she has a dramatic role, having for
saken for once the comedy characteri-
cations for which she is noted.
Victor Herman directed "The Dan
gerous Maid" and C. Gardner Sulli-
van made the adaptation from Eliza
beth's novel. Conway Tearle appears
as Miss Talmadge's leading man in
the production.

AMERICAN LEGION
: IS PLANNING DRIVE

The State American Legion is wag-
ing a militant campaign throughout
the state on behalf of the Watkins
bill, now before Congress, for adjust
ed compensation. A monster mass
meeting of veterans was held at Cry
stall Pool, Seattle, last Sunday, and
, was addressed by DIR. Jones, state
commander of the legion; Louis B.
Schwellenbach, past commander Of the
legion; Mrs. Beals, commander of the
Women's Auxiliary; Wee Coyle, lieu
tenant governor of the state; Mayor
Brown OF Seattle and President Short
of the State Federation of Labor. Res
olutions were unanimously adopted in
dorsing the Watkins bill, and the vast
audience of three thousand people
pledged themselves to write individ-
ually to their congressman and SEN
ators urging support of the bill.
An open meeting of veterans and
laborites is to be held at Bremerton
Tuesday night, Feb. IL, and will be
addressed by state officers and Presi-
dent Short. A joint meeting of vet
Grams and labor will be held at Blu
coda Saturday night, under the aus
pices of the Bucoda and Tenino dis
trict legion; while a meeting of
similar character is planned for Ev-
erett in the near future, at which
meeting President Short has been
asked to speak.
The bond of friendship and coop
Grafton between the American Legion
and the State Federation of Labor
continues to grow, and the two or
CARNATIONS continue to find more in
common in the pursuit of their ideals.
A well financed propaganda is be-
ing conducted against the bill provid-
ing for adjusted compensation for the
veterans, and financed by big inter
ests of the country who seem to fear
that the passage of such just meas
ure might mean a tax on some of the
SWOLLEN war profits.
A large portion of the legion mem
bership is composed of union men,
bers who have had long experience in
encountering opposition to any de-
mand for just compensation, coming
from the same source. The wage earn
ers of the state have unitedly joined
hands with the vets in their fight
for this just consideration from the
hands of the government, and the
workers in every section of the state
are strongly urged to lend to the
legion full and militant cooperation
in their campaign for the passage Of
the Watkins bill now before Con-
gress.

thor Of the resolution, said in a state
ment that he had no objection.
President Coolidge signed the Walsh
oil lease annulment resolution but he
attached a memorandum in which he
took exception to the language in the
preamble which declares the leases
we're made in violation of the law
and under circumstances indicating
fraud and corruption.
Four Tax Bill Reports.
Four reports on the new revenue
bill, differing widely on the question
Of income and surtax rates, were made
to the house by members Of the ways
and means committee.
The measure, which has occupied
more than two months of the commit
tees time, is expected to provide at
least a months debate in the house,
The house defeated a resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment
to prohibit issuance of tax exempt
securities.
McAdoo's Plea Heard.
Appearing voluntarily before the
senate public lands committee to ex-
plain and defend his employment by
the Doheny oil interests, William
Gibbs McAdoo, leading candidate for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton, denounced efforts to drag his
name into the oil leasing scandal, as
serted he had done nothing wrong, and
declared he was willing to let the
country Judge the propriety of his
acts.
McAdoo staunchly defended his TAX
ing employment with the Doheny In
, terests in 1919.
"Mr. Doheny's companies, as well as
Mr.. Doheny, enjoyed an enviable repu-
tation when he called on me in 1919,"
said McAdoo.
Hearty Endorsement was given by
McAdoo to the present investigation.
He declared the pressing duty of the
hour was to mercilessly uncover and
bring to punishment everyone who
has betrayed public trust"
Forbes Scored BY Committee.
Denunciation of "wretched incom-
petence, waste and dishonesty in the
veterans bureau during the admins
tration of former Director Charles R.
Forbes was made in a second report
submitted to the senate by the COM
mittee that spent nine months inves-
tigating the bureau.
Accompanying the committee report
was a separate report made by Cen
eral John F. Organ, committee coun-
sci, in which Forbes was denounced
in strong terms as a "buccaneer."
"The disheartening truth is that
many of the men who had charge Of
the bureau during that period flouted
the sacred trust that had been reposet
in them and their treatment Of dis
abled soldiers and sailors was harsh
unfair and often brutal" said the re
port.
