The man who owned the
paper was live wire, and quite ma
turally, in those days, aspired to sit
in the national congress. Business
was not such as would warrant him
to open the political jackpot in a no.
limit game, so he had recourse to ex-
pediency. He opened up his pruning
knife and slashed every salary where
it did not conflict with the union scale.
This helped to create political war
fund. But it was not enough. Again
the pruning knife was welded. The
day after the new checks had been
received, one of the workers who had
felt the cut in salary, stepped up to
the proprietor and said: 'Mf. Muir
ply, am going to quit" "What's the
trouble, Eddie? 2" asked the boss.
"There is no trouble, so far as / am
concerned. 1t all lays with you, Mr..
Murphy" slows that?" he asked.
"Well, it is like this" said Hennegan,

salary I am getting. What l will
work for is that part Of my salary
which you have cut off," No, Mr..
Murphy did not go to the senate, but
did become one of the most success
full publishers in western city, and
saw the injustice of charging his
political ambitions up to those who
worked for him.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
BY l. C. McCUMBER

The Kaleidoscope was placed on the
tax duplicate for $23,000,000. The
field investigators had looked over
what / had, and that was the amount
that / was supposed to kick in with
to the federal government. Natur-
ally, having such large tax bill
checked up against me, put me on my
mettle, and when get that way,
something rips, rips, rips, and it is
not my blue jeans that are ripping.
| take up the matter with some Of
the ex-tax experts at Washington, and
with a proper fee, they opine that
something can be done. When every
thing has been looked after, and the
public, through it's officials, are salts
fed, my tax assessment is reduced to
$5, 600, 900. And then some great
dailies-republican and democratic,
mugwump and otherwise-tell US that
the Investigations at Washington
have a tendency to slow down busi-
ness. Quite SO, quite so. When Jes-
sic James and the Younger Brothers
chanced to hold up train or stage
coach, it slowed down traffic. Argu-
ing that way, Jessies James was
wrong in slowing down traffic but
right in trying to get easy money.
Not very much difference, simply a
question of business ethics, according
to those apologists for big business.

JOHN SCHWALM
CELEBRATES

The other day, to be exact, Tuesday
of this week, John Schwalm, presi-
dent of the Jewel Photoplay Co., and
popular manager of the Rialto the
atre, strolled down High street with
a smile as broad as the court house
block and long as the race course at
the fair grounds, passing cigars right
and left. Of course this smile is
natural with Mr.. Schwalm--he always
carries it, but everyone wondered why
the cigars and why the Rialto chief
wasn't at the opening game until it
leaked out that he was celebrating a
birthday anniversary. Then every
body passed John congratulations with
best wishes for many happy returns
of the day. John admits being of

AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES

Rialto, Sunday-"St. Elmo"
Every man has his vulnerable spot
his Achilles heel.
st. Elmo, the Augusta Evans hero
of the popular novel of that name,
now offered by William Fox at the
Rialto theatre Sunday for four days,
with John Gilbert in the title role,
was no exception.
ST. Elmo considered his life wrecked
because of the perfidy of the woman
he had loved. His temper, formerly
the neuter trait in his character, be-
came the flaming, ascendant force. He
brooked no argument with his orders.
He distrusted every woman. He de-
spised all his old friends. His life
was an inferno of his own diabolic
creation, which, in turn, disturbed the
lives of those around him.
Yet st. Elmo, while laughing at
those who hated him ,shrank from the
idea of being pitied. He turned his
eyes away from sincerity and faith
fulness. But all these characteristics
he found in Edna Earle (played by
Bessie Love-, the wistful girl from
the country who lived with his mother.
The added attractions will be an
