His Position

Gap Johnson was trying to- back
away from the crossroads store with
many yanks at the reins and numer-
Gus yells and oaths. His daughter
sprang from the wagon and began
beating the mules over the head with
a club.
"Why don't you buy a Ford?" asked
q salesman who had arrived during
the operation. "It would save you
q lot of trouble"
: "I'm user to the-p'tu!-trouble,"
was the reply "I know how to
handle these deyilish mules and
wouldn't know how to manage
Ford"
"Well, it might save the young lady
lot Of unnecessary exercise
"AW, she's going to get married
pretty soon. and needs the experience
in managing a husband. Hud-up,

nothing to fear from them.

hotel, while her friends started bill
through the state legislature making
it impossible for a husband to thus
separate his own polltax payment
from that of his wife. This measure
was passed, and the woman went
triumphantly home.
Afterward, she visited in the Mary

her story. Women who heard it star
ted arguments with their husbands,

Texas husband was justified in his

Industrial Mobilization.
Fifty officers of the Army In

three-day visit to the Pittsburgh dis

Department for distributing orders to

ficers of the army, in turn, We're
given a first-hand lesson in big

Industrial mobilization, as it is
called by the department, was heartily
endorsed by spokesman for the Car
negie Steel Co.. National Tube Co.,
Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co.,
Jones g. Laughlin, and other con-

" DRAMA III
"The Legend of the
Bears Wedding"

To all those who look for pictures
of artistic honesty, and especially to
those who got the thrill of their lives
on seeing "Potemkin," we recommend
"The Legend of the Bears Wedding"
the second Amkino production pre-
sented in America thru the usual
movie channels. This means we rec
ommend it to every worker.
1t is a powerful thing, this Russian
picture, rolling up it's story in never
Tagging interest, one vivid scene af-
ter another and ending in a terrific,
inevitable conclusion that leaves one
breathless. It is likely you know the
story: A Lithuanian landlords son,
born to a mother, who frightened by
a bear, goes stark mad in giving birth.
The legend so widely known to all
Russians, credits prenatal influence
in accounting for the nature of the
son, who leading a double life, as
master of the estate, at night is a
human beast that preys on the young
peasant girls, killing by tearing them
to death with his teeth as an animal.
Uncovered, as he murders his bride in
this manner, he takes to TIL woods,
to be hunted and finally killt1i by the
peasantry.
This brief account does no Justice
to the eventful plot in which one dra-
matte moment follows anothes. and
builds for the logical terribly drama
tic end. In photography, the adequate,
this picture does not give us the ar
tistry of "Potemkin." But you will
find here a story well told pictorially,
splendidly acted, and faithfully cos
tuned to the country and period.
Surely, here is something out of the
ordinary and worthwhile seeing.
In the Russian-peasant legend of
the bear, it is a landlord, a vicious
bally lashes the assembled peasantry
The suffering of the oppressed creeps
into all folk lore. At the wedding Of
the master, a wicked looking pot
bellied turnkey (splendidly acted) YER
bally lashes the assembled peasantry
to dance and appear gay for the event.
As a religious lesson, the children las

are bored and sleepy. This picture,
made in a Workers Republic, instead
of the usual hokum, gives US some
thing that is honest to life itself.
There are other reliable touches to
reveal its origin.
The Legend of the Bear, is the first
picture of the Art Cinema League, at
its new 18th Street Theater If later
programs are in keeping with this,
its first showing, it will be we'll worth
placing this small but attractive the

gent, honest amusement can be had

Whats WhotmW oshin8ton

WASHINGTON, June ]. (FP) Presi-
dent Coolidge, true to form, has made
political selection Of his vacation
place this summer. South Dakota
has two senators at Washington who
were elected against the opposition
of his machine in 1924 and 1926.
They are not real progressives, but
McMaster is inclined to follow the
lead Of Norris on farm issues, and
Norbeck, now entering his second
term, frequently votes with the Hiram
Johnson and Borah group. Indeed,
Norbeck has been known as Hiram
Johnson's only follower in the Senate.
By going into the Black Hills state
forest in southwestern South Dakota
for his three months of seclusion,
Coolidge does nothing for the i'm
poverished farmers or cattlemen of
the West, but he flatters the senti-
ment Of state pride and give welcome
advertising to the railroads and other
tourist industries in that region.
McMaster and Norbeck, as practical
politicians, will be put into the role
of polite hosts, whether they like it
or not. And since South Dakota is
the state which holds the earliest
presidential primary next year, Cool
idge has by this move given himself
the maximum handicap in the race
for delegates in the 1923 convention,
POll-Tax Wrecks Families
A Texas polltax dispute, according
to reports in Democratic official cir

Maryland, just over the border of
the national capital. The dispute
deals with women's value as voters.
A woman on a Texas plantation
asked her husband to pay the poll
tax for their family, so that she
might vote. He refused to pay any
tax but his own, saying that her vote

AN TLL-TIMED EXPLOSION

loAuDS IiSUHJ.
The heated OutpOuring against
BOlsheyism delivered by Ambassa-
dor MyrOn T. Herrick at the Mem
Orial Day exercises at the Suresnes
American Military Cemetery is a
remarkable utterance in other re-
spects than its lurid vituperative-
ness.
1t is worthy of note that the
venerable ambassador speaking as
he did Immediately upon the rup-
ture of relations between England
and Russia has thereby assumed
the prerogative of making official
comment, upon the provocative act
of the British Tory government.
This is, to say the least. unusual.
He may have acted on his own in
itiative or Cautious Cal may have
moved his spokesman" to Paris for
a day. Who knows?
1t is significant too that the capt.
talist press has given the Ambassa-
doris speech little prominence or
editorial comment. From the lack
of applause, one is therefore left to
Opine that the venerable fire-eater
must have put his foot in it, some
how.
Ever since John Bull was so
ANONYMOUSLY humbled by Uncle
Sans refusal to continue to follow
Great Britain's lead in a Joint
policy in China, the former gentle
man has been aching to recover
from this blow to his world prestige
and influence. IL is evident that
Downing Street has now decided
that its next step toward this pur-
pose is an Offense against Soviet
Russia. While no one will pretend
for a moment that American capt.
talism hates BOlshevism any less
than do the English capitalists.
there is still room to believe that
various influential and powerful
groups Of American capitalists now
see their way clear to make the
most of England's political and eco
nomic difficulties by Ousting her
from every possible corner of the
world market-even Russia. Con-
siderable pressure has already been
exerted in this direction. With
Britain out, what more favorable
opportunity could be found to wrest
the greatest possible concessions
from the Workers and Peasants
Republic?
We are therefore left to wonder,
editorially, whether Herrick's ex-
plOsiOn may not have been i'll
timed from the point of view of
powerful American capitalist in
terests.

CONFIRMATION REIGNs

LONDON, Jan. 7.-R)--Consterna
tion over the happenings in the British.
concession city of Hankow is reported
in the British communities of Peking
and Shanghai, but alarm is now shown
in official quarters here.
One of the difficulties of the situa-
ton, from the London standpoint,
arises from the comparative paucity of
news direct from Hankow and the ex-
treme slowness of it's transmission,
which may be due to interference by
the Chinese authorities. This factor
adds to the anxiety over what may be
happening there.
The latest direct news, in dispatch
dated Friday morning, shows that Eu-
gene Chen, the Cantonese foreign min
lister, had conferences with foreign
residents, or rather the American resi-
dents, for there was only one British
resident left in Hankow in addition to
the British consul. Che nassured them
of his intention and power to maintain
order but apparently the Americans
either did not trust his sincerity or
his power and decided TO evacuate the
city. According to Shanghai advices,
