SINCLAIR LEWIS STORY
OF 'BiBBITT' IS FILM
FEATURE At TIE R|ALTO

Only such n master Of characteri-
zation as Sinclair Lewis could have
built up a "Babbitt," typical of the
American business man OF practical
exterior. whose heart is young with
dreams of romance. And. It is this
story Of "Babbitt.' in all its realism
and usefulness that will be shown
at tho Haalto theater. beginning
today.
Sinclair Lewis. in his book, has
drawn TO the life. the important man
of affairs whose activities In the
civic. social and business world of
America has made this country what
1t is. He is hard-headed. shrewd.
money-getting. and practical. yet
there is the side that never appears
that hunger for Hpringtime with
its fragrance OF romance.
That is the character that willard
Louis portrays In the Warner Bros.
classic of the screen, Rabbit" He
is bored with his wife, Myrn, as
played by Mary Alden: tired of the
constant q%uarreling of his children:
weary of the colorless routine Of his
real estate office. Blindly he is
seeking tho something life is
cheating him of.
Life to him seemed rust a tumble
Of meaningless days-one as gray as
the other. But It was his inner self

Beautiful Picture Drawn
"A very beautiful picture has been
drawn in recent years of the North
west mounted police and of the state
police in such states as Pennsylvania
and New York These pictures will
not bear close examination Little
was heard in this country of the
Northwest mounted police until they
had been used by the employers to
break up strikes. The Pennsylvania
police have been highly cmomended
because they could be used to suspend
The operation of all laws for the pro-
lection of citizens and property when
powerful corporations in their control
of large sections of PENNSYLVANIA
found that even the mayors and sher-
ifs which they themselves had placed
in office were unwilling to go through
with the full program Of brutality laid
before them.
Under the system of state police
which you are advocating, as it has
worked out in Pennsylvania, you could
not hold your motor club public meet

any group of your members had in

Chicago.-F. G. Stecker, secretary
treasurer of the American Federation
of Teachers, has taken issue with the
proponents of Charles NJ. Hayes, pres
ident of the Chicago Motor Club
severely criticizes the measure in all
of its aspects.
The Motor News, official publica-
tion Of the club, had printed a "can-
ned article under the caption of
Why Illinois Needs State Police. .
This furnished the educator with a
reason for his letter to the president
of the club, of which Mr.. Stecker has
been member for the last three
years.
Motorists Support Sought
The Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation and the banking and other big
financial interests have been making
a special effort to convince motorists
that the 100000 miles of public high
ways in Illinois can be effectively
patroled by the 40-odd members of
the proposed constabulary force
In his letter Mr.. Stecker said:
Perhaps the Russian cossack sys-
TEN was suitable for pre-war Russia
Americans were never conspicuously
enamored of it at the time, however
The state police bill on examination
is found to contain the very essence
of Cossackism and irresponsible polio
ing power; neither responsible to nor
chosen by the people of the municipal
governments which they can super
sede at any moment.
irresponsible Power Sponsored
"The motor club has done much
good work in the suppression or elm

trarily using their police power in an

the guise of enforcing traffic laws

Friends of the amendment in this
! state are fully aware of the great
obstacles confronting them, but they
will press on just the same. The
enemies of the amendment have been

ator. On the other hand, the Weekly
News Letter of the Illinois State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and the various
weekly labor papers affiliated with In
ternational Labor News Service have
been carrying educational matter of
an effective character for months past
Chicago Tribune Fights Amendment
The Chicago Tribune played nasty
trick against the child labor amend
ment Colonel Robert r. Mccormick,
editor-in-chief of the Tribune, kept his
paper silent on the subject until he
was certain that there was enough
opposition to defeat it, when he
ordered his forces into action. On the
morning following the day when the
thirteenth state legislature had acted
adversely the Tribune came out in a
long editorial advising the Illinois
general assembly to follow suit
To further prove that he was wholly
on the side Of the National Manufac-
turers' Association and the United
States Chamber of Commerse, Colonel
Mccormick caused his paper to pub
lish another editorial which advocated
the establishment of state constab-
ulary in Illinois, His advocacy of the
latter measure came the day immedi-
ately following his declaration in
favor of child slavery.
The Chicago Daily News, published
by Victor F. Lawson, is on all fours
with the Chicago Tribune in these
matters Lawson always says, me,
too," after Colonel Mccormick blazes
the trail. 1t would be interesting to
know the thoughts of Joe" Medill,
founder of the Tribune, and Eugene
Field, the kiddies' great and true
friend and who helped to make the
Chicago Daily News famous in his
day, if they are able to see and hear
and know of the actions of the two
Dromios who have succeeded them as
the directing geniuses of these two
great newspaper properties.
Two Are Foes of Trade Unionism
Mccormick and Lawson are not only
consistent and persistent enemies of
everything that the labor unions of
Illinois attempt in the way of remedi-
al legislation, but they are eternally
and everlastingly harassing their own
employees in endeavors to find excuses
and loopholes in contracts to warrant
their evasion of agreements entered
into in good faith by those employees.
Colonel Niece rmick clearly showed
the trend of his mind when he recently
entered into contract with motor
iously unfair printing establishment
here in Chicago for the printing of
Liberty, the new weekly illustrated
magazine which the Tribune placed
on the market a few months ago and
which has national circulation.

MERCHANT BACKS
TOWNS WELFARE
Cooperation of Business Men Con-
tributes to the Upbuilding of
Our Community

The ambition of every merchant
in Cody is to make his town the
best, along the line.
This may be a selfish object on
his part. but the fact remains that
he can prosper only if all the city
thrives, for it is obvious that little
money will be passed over his coun-
tiers by people who have no money
to spend.
On the other hand if there is no
idleness among the people, if the
factories and mills are running at
full capacity and all the families in
town are living in comfort, with
every prospect of good times in the
,future. their well-being is reflected
in the trade that comes t. the mer-
chants store.
No Cody merchant, however, de-
ponds merely on mere wishing to
bring prosperity to this town and
to make it grow. He does not doze
in his easy chair and dream dreams
about outsiders coming in to settle,
without helping create a magnet to
attract them. When he argues for
better schools and improved streets,
it is not in the expectation that his
share is to be mere words while
other property owners foot the tax
bills.
Merchant Backs town
If that were all there is to it for
him, he would not deserve to be a
partner in the successful achieve
ments of his community.
Every merchant in this town
backs up his confidence in this,
town, its prosperity and the pros
pertiy of those in it and it's future
as a rising member of this splendid
commonwealth, by his ~hard-earned
dollars. Before he can obtain a cent
of profit, he must offer a big stock
of the goods the public wants, at
tractively displayed in a convenient
ly arranged store of adequate size,
with all the necessary equipment
for handling his goods expeditiously
and with well paid, courteous sales
people whose paramount purpose is
TO render service to the trade. Not
until this investment has been made
and this plant is set in all its com
pleteness before the people of the
town can he hope to get back even
so much as one cent of profit.
1t is a big risk to run. If immed-
late profits were his only object, he
never would take this chance. He
could invest his money in dozens
of other propositions, make more
money and make it without wait
ing so long.
