SIN.
A lot of dramatic stage business,
suggesting scenes from Seventh
Heaven" arranged especially to suit
the talents of Conrad Nagel and
Dolores Costello, but with scant atten-
ton to continuity or plausibility, has
been gathered together under one title,
THE Redeeming Sin," in Warner
Brothers latest ViSsphone feature show
ing at the Metropolitan Theater this
week
1.-THE Redeeming SIM story of the
Paris underworld, provides some excel
lent examples of pitfalls to be avoided
by the scenario writer. 1t is not well,
for instance, to have youngster killed
during an attempted robbery and then,
with police hot on his trail and clues
splitting themselves all around-in the
form of trickling blood at the gen.

have the lad buried quietly by his
sister and no more said of the matter
Nor is 1t wise to stain the credulity
with the spectacle Of this same sister
turning the vengeance of her grief upon
a strange doctor who had not saved her
brothers life after the shooting, and
| failing to question how he had come to
be shot or who had fired the fatal
bullet.
OF course, Conrad Nagel wouldn't
have been in the picture if she had

sHUBERT-BELAsCo-"Oh, Boy"

Charles Emerson Cooks Savoyan,
swung into another week at the BelaSct
last night with the ever tuneful and
vivaciotis 'sOh, Boy" chased In the an.
rails Of musical shows as one OF the
greatest hits Of all time.
Mr.. Cooks collection OF entertainers
tackled their new vehicle with their GUS
tomary snap and dash.
There are always agreeable reminB-
cences In the revival of a stage favor
fte and many recalled other days, as
they listened to the strains of such
familiar melodies as "An Old Fashioned
Wife" "Till the Clouds Roll BY" "You
Never Knew About Me" and Nesting
Time"
Ike many other musical comedies,
"Oh. Bow" is not burdened with an
intricate plot, but relies for popular In
terest upon Its rapid succession OF songs,
clever lines and dancing.
The comedy element in the Savoyans'
presentation Is very ably handled by
Robert Capron, as Jim Marvin; joseph
Spree, as Contable Sims, and Beth
Franklyn, the Quaker aunt. Mr.. Capron
has recovered from the cold which
handicapped him during the perform
ance of "Sally" last week, and was at
his best last night.
Helen Ault Is al dppcalAiS Aou &ACAA
and Frank Gallagher, who returns to
the cast after q weeks absence, is very
much at home in the role OF George
Budd.
The Savoy chorus responded to sew
erai well deserved encores and clever
dance specially was offered by Jack
Closson and Mary Deery. Others who
registered with the audience were the
Savoy Male octet; Renee Hamilton, as
Jackie Sampson, q role well suited to
her personality and talents; Edward
Metcalfe. as Judge Carter, and Rosa
Snowden, as Mrs. Carter.
Vincent J. Ceilings orchestra gave a
good account of itself and the settings
were very attractive.

To the newspapers of nation facing
what may be mot an ephemeral crime
wave, but subsistence of our founda-
TONS President Hoover recently made
an appeal for law support, and for their
aid in impressing upon every citizen his
duty ito order his own actions, to SO
weigh the effect of his example, that his
conduct shall be positive force in his
community with respect to the law"
It was not merely because OF its time
illness as a matter of great contemporary
interest that the President chose the pro-
hibition problem and its accompanying
manifestations of increasing disrespect of
law as the theme of his address to the
annual gathering of members OF the As
sociated Press To a very large degree
the Presidents success in the fulfillment
of the prohibition mandate given him by
the American people last November de-
ponds upon the support of the press as
the great molder of public opinion. If
the newspapers, recognizing that man
date as the voice of the overwhelming
majority of the nation, uphold Hoover's
hands in his gigantic task, he will sue
coed. If any considerable portion of the
press should-as the Hearst newspapers
have done-adopt a policy deliberately of
embarrassing the President in his efforts,

The responsibility of the newspapers in
this national crisis is paramount and in
escapable. Mr. Hoover did not impose it
on them; he merely recognized it and ap-
pealed to them equally to recognize it. AS
the President said of the individual, it is
not given to them to choose which laws
they shall obey and support and which
disregard. Those sensible to their high
obligations as public institutions and ex-
ponents of Americanism will support the
law if for no other reason that that it is

DEMoCR'Ts TO REORGANIZE
This Leader Says the Party Will
Stand for Dry Law En-
forcement
forcenent

That retirement of John J. Raskob as
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee will come about in the reor-
ganization of the Democratic Party was
predicted by M. D. Lightfoot, of Missouri,
Chairman of the National Constitutional
Democratic Committee which worked last
fall to unite dry Democrats against Gov
ernor Smiths election to the presidency.
"Mr. Raskob by advocating that the
Democratic Party again make the wet is
sue supreme for the 1882 campaign has
effectively eliminated himself, just as
quickly as a reunited Democratic elector-
ate can get an opportunity to vote for ma
tional committeeman.
Large numbers of liberal Democrats
who last fall remained regular are COM
mencing to demand that the party be de-
livered from false prophets and returned
to the ideals of former great leaders
There will be a genuine reorganization
of the party and we must commence to
forget the false issues brought out by our
party leaders last summer and to think
of constructive issues around which we
can reorganize.
I'VE shall stand for strict enforce
ment of all laws. The Eighteenth Amend
ment is part of the supreme law of the
land We shall pledge to enforce it.

SAYS NO CRIME INCREASE

DR.. George w. Kirchwey, formerly dean
of Columbia Law School and one of the
leading authorities on criminology in the
United States, denies that crime is in
creasing in this country He says that
"as between 1910 and 1923, the latter date
being the high-water mark of reaction
against national prohibition, there was
decrease of 37.7 per cent in general Grim
inality in the United States, in proper
ton to population The chief reductions
were in public intoXication, 55.3 per cent;
disorderly conduct, 515 per cent; Vagrar-
cy, 52.8 per cent; fornication and prosti-
tuition, 53.1 per cent, and burglary ia
per cent"

of law. Each will sway portions of the
public one way or the other There is no
middle ground of silence and neutrality.
Hoovers appeal as the President of the
United States is a challenge none may ig-
more In this crucial test those who are
not for him are against him. Evasion is
the refuge of the coward.
In this matter, the public also can help,
by discriminating in its choice of reading
matter between the journals that recog-
nize their duty and attempt to do it, and
those which do not.

within few days encouraging citizens to
defy a law because that particular jour
nal did not approve Of the law itself" the
President said 81 leave comment on
such an attitude to any citizen with
sense of responsibility to his country"
The President has made it a little
palmer than it was before that the duty
of newspapers is to encourage respect for
the law, and the duty of citizens is to
withhold patronage from the newspapers
that encourage the fouting of it.

The population of Great Britain is a.
371 900. The per capita consumption of
spirits is % of a proof gallon, and of
beer 200 gallons.
The British government is attempting
to curb the tendency to increased drink
consumption by increasing the taxes on
spirits, beer, wines and hops The tax
alton derived from this source in 1928
totals ia, 10000 pounds or approximate
ly $500, 000 the pound for convenience
being figured at $500. The total con-
sumption OF absolute alcohol in 1928, &C
cording to Mr.. Wilson'S report, that is
the alcohol contained in the alcoholic
liquors consumed, is about fifty million
gallons, of which 81 per cent was taken
in beer, II per cent in spirits and D per
cent in Wines etc The approximate con-
sumption per head of absolute alcohol
was for England and Wales, lit gallons
for Scotland, OH gallons, and for Great
Britain, 1.12 gallons.
Mr. Wilson presents some striking con-
trastS in expenditures by the British peo-
pie For instance they expended 36,500,
900 pounds for milk as compared with
1876, 100000 pounds for beer.
There has been decrease in the con-
sumption of spirits of 500 per cent since
1913, and of 373 per cent in the con-
people are paying 10 per cent more for
the spirits consumed and ola Per cent
more for the beer consumed. Heavy tax
alton is one of the principal factors
causing this large increase in price while
the serious problem of unemployment in
Great Britain is responsible for the de-
creased consumption. On the other
hand the enormous sums spent for liquor
are undoubtedly to a large extent re-
sponsible for unemployment in the pro-
duction and distribution of other COM
modities.
Mr. Wilson'S report shows that heavy
taxation and the unemployment OF more
than million who are eking out an eX-
istence on government doles has not in
terfered with the liquor trades prosper
ity In fact the liquor business in Great
Britain is one of the most thriving and
prospecting Of all industries.
The advertising columns of The Morn
inc Advertiser, organ of the liquor trade,
shows the large profits of the retail
LIQUOR business in Great Britain. Seventy
two licenses offered for sale were esti-
mated as worth "takings" of $4,000
pounds annually The Economist of
April 20, in summarizing industrial
profits for the first quarter of 1929 says
that twenty brewery companies report in
creased net profits during 1928 and 1929
of 1876 per cent.
Great Britains liquor bill for 1928 of
ST AL 900 almost equals the amount
of interest on the national debt of 1923

more than the income tax receipts for

FINE ORCHESTRA
AURORA SCHOOL

One of the most pleasant and well
attended entertainments furnished to
the citizens of Ely in some time was
the concert on Sunday by the Aurora
High School Orchestra under the di-
rection of Mr.. Olson.
The orchestra appeared here in an
exchange agreement with the Ely
school orchestra which will later in
the season play q return engagement
in Aurora
The talented musicians from the
neighboring city on the Mesaba range
played well, looked good and met with
the approval of the large audience.
The orchestra has won the state
championship for High School or
cheStras for the third successive year
and Ely was fortunate in securing
them for the concert Sunday and the
people were fortunate in having them
here.
The browning laurels of the concert
were voted Miss Olga Turk who gave
several mastery violin solos in which
she was accompanied by Prof. Olson,
her director; the saxophone numbers
by Dale Olson and the vocal numbers
by Lloyd F. Sunderman accompanied
by Miss Helen QImphy at the piano.
It is needless to say that the or
chestra is well balanced and their tone
is pure and pleasing Especially well
taken were the various parts making
up the twenty-five piece organization.

ions to the music lovers of the range

citation from the first advertising eff
forts of 1929
This year, according to Roy E. Dunn
Of Pelican Rapids, president, the As
ISOLATION is embarking for the first
time on program devoted equally to
advertising the agricultural and
The program calls for a greater ex-
penditure than ever before, because
of the, addition Of the agricultural ele-
ment. This means that every COM
munity in the state VIII have to as
sumo its share of support to the work
says Mr.. Dunn, but with proper sup
port the most effective effort ever
made to sell Minnesota TO the world
will be put across.
Since the first of the year 682 in
quiries concerning agricultural oppor-
tunities have been received through
the mails, says Mr.. Dunn This he
believes should show conclusively that
people Of other parts of the nation
realize no state offers better farming
opportunities than Minnesota and
that there is an increasing interest
in Minnesota lands.
Inquiries concerning vacations are
much heavier than during previous
years, and at this date there is every
indication that 1929 win be a banner
tourist year. The letters that have
been received from all parts Of the
United States, and in some instances
from foreign shores have come in re-
Spouse to the advertising efforts of the

progress for several months to attract
new citizens to the state Some of

which campaign was conducted last

general advertising campaign which
has just been started in publications
with aggregate calculations of more
than eleven million readers who are
being apprised that Minnesota holds
forth unusual agricultural opportun-
tiles.
Mr.. Dunn is enthusiastic concerning
the outlook for 1929 and voieing his
views says: Early inquiries at the
Offices of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association would
indicate that Minnesota win not only
have banner tourist year, but that
we should also interest more persons
in coming to the state to live than We
have in many past years. am espec-
tally pleased with the results that have
been achieved so far IN our farm pro-

started in this work and yet we have
had several hundred responses to Gun
first efforts. We have q big pro-
gram under way along the line Of
agricultural development and If we gel
the proper financial cooperation from
the various communities 1929 should
show marked increases In actual i'm

Everything depends upon the funds
