WHERELL WE ALL BE TEN
HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW

What will the great centers of
population resemble thousand
years from now? Whether you have
or haven't asked yourself that Ques-
ton, be thankful that you are liv-
ing in the twentieth century. You'll
understand why this is said when
you see Metropolis" Paramount's
giant melodrama which arrives at
the New Plaza Theatre next We'd
nesday and Thursday.
Despite its seemingly impossible
Though thoroughly probable) story
Metropolis" presents some of the
most remarkable photography ever
attempted. Beside it, such wonders
of the cinema as variety" and "The
Last Laugh" are said to pale. New
York newspaper critics called it the
greatest picture of all time when it
was shown in that city. Fritz Lang
directed Metropolis" for UFA.

OF a new party was that held at
Ripon, Fond du Lac county, Wis; and
Mr.. Alvan E. Bovay, prominent
member Of the Wing party who lived
IN that town, was the prime mover
In calling the convention. and also in
the use of the name Republican for
the new party"
Ripon is a small town. II has a
population OF only about 1000 today.
Bovay was a lawyer who had come
to Ripon from New York in 1850 In
1852 he was visiting his old friend
Horace Greeley in New York and re-
marked that there must be a new
party which would demand exclusion
Of slavery from the territories. When
Greeley asked him what he would
call this party Boyay replied RE

urging him to advocate mass meet

months later suggested the name In

BOvay and two other Riponians.
one a Democrat and the other Free
Soiler. issued call for a public meet
ing to consider the situation which
the Kansas-Nebraska bill was still
pending in Congress.
At a meeting in the Ripon Con-
gregational church OH Feb %, 1854,
a resolution was passed demanding
the formation of new Republican
party based solely on the issue of op-
position to extension of slavery, In
case the legislation should pass.
The kanSaS-Nebraska bill was
passed by the Senate March 3 and
Ripon had a second meeting March
20.
Il went from house to house and
from shop to shop and halted men to
get their names for the meeting"
Bovay wrote long afterward. "At
that time there were not more than
a hundred voters in Ripon and by a
vast deal of earnest talking I obtained
So of them. We went into the little
meeting, held In a scnoolhouse.
Wings, Free Sellers and Democrats
We came out of it Republicans and
we were the first Republicans In the
Union
X \ \
The meeting voted to dissolve the
Wing and Free Soil local committees
and appointed a committee Of three
Wings. one Democrat and a Free
Soiler to begin the task of forming
q new party"
Whether or not these events can
now be called the actual birth of the
Republican party, Myers agrees with
Charles M. Harvey that at these two
meetings was started the earliest
systematic work begun anywhere In
the country to bring about the coali-
ton Of the enemies of slavery extern
sion. who were eventually fused into a
homogeneous and aggressive party,
adopting the name Republican"
The basis for Jackson's claim to
being the G. o. P.'s birthplace will
be described in a subsequent article.

Sweet of him, isn't it? Faith was SO
flattered-"
Harry Blaine was caught fast in
the paralysis that gripped the whole
room. for Cherrys high voice had
penetrated to every ear. The death
like silence held for full minute and
was broken by the swish of Faiths
long taffeta skirt as she brushed past
the couch OH her way to her sister.
So this was the eruption which
Tony Tarver had foretold, Harry
Blaine thought, the blood pounding
holly in his cheeks. Rather a minor
eruption, but beastly-absolutely
beastly. Was the little red-headed
devil SO insanely vain of her beauty
that she could not endure that the
slightest tribute should be paid to
any other woman?"
Bedtime, Crystal dear" Faith
was saying. her shame flushed face
bent over the girl in the wheel chair.

she added noncommittally. as Faith
began to wheel her away.
Cherry appeared to be entirely un-
aware Of the fiendishness of her be-
havior. Lifting her beautiful and
apparently innocent little face to Alan
Beardsley. she commanded eagerly:
Come! You really must see the por-
trait that George painted of Faith. |

arms. It's in the sun parlor.

Harry Blaine stepped gingerly over
the threshold Of the Hathaway living
room. feeling exactly like foo!hardy
tourist who insists upon peering over
the crater of a volcano scheduled to
erupt at any moment.
After greeting Faith rather absent
mindedly and reassuring her about
Tony's condition-for Faith has been
the only one who sensed that the girl
had almost fainted-the reporter took
seat on the big couch near Crystals
wheel chair and surveyed the appar-
entity harmless scene with frown of
concentration.
There was George Pruitt, talking to
Crystal again.
I've been telling Faith that want
to paint you, Crystal he heard
George Pruitt say eagerly, urgently.
you've made my fingers itch for a
brush Tor the first time in months.
You want to paint a portrait of
me?" Crystal answered. "Why?"
Before George Pruitt could answer
Harry Blaine saw that he was not
the only shameless eavesdropper of
what should have been private in
serview. Cherry Jonson. dragging
Alan Beardsley by the hand. had
come up behind Crystals wheelchair.
Even though he was not at all under
her spell. Harry Blaine could not help
paying Cherry the tribute Of long,
measuring glance Of admiration.

Editors Note: This Is the first
of two articles on the contentious
OF two Michigan and Wisconsin
cities over "the birthplace of the
Republican party"
By RODNEY BUTCHER

= = \
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service WRITER
Washington. March 4.-To decide
whether the Republican party was
born in Ripon. Wis. or Jackson
Mich. one must first define the way
in which a political party is actually
born.
The reason Jackson and Ripon are
still arguing the question on the eve
Of a 18th anniversary celebration Of
the birth is that a party isn't always
born as a person is born. It may be
born in several places, simultaneously
or progressively.
Few authorities have undertaken
arbitrarily to hand all the honors
either to Ripon or Jackson. DR.
Edward Stanwood. In his widely con-
suited history Of the presidency
merely says:
THE Republican party originated
In the west. A mass meeting at Rip
on, Wis. early in 1854, followed soon
Afterward by mass state convention
at Jackson, Mich; and state conven-
tions In July In Vermont. Wisconsin
Ohio and Indiana, brought the new
party into being. with its present
name. and with opposition to the ex-
tension OF slavery as the one issue
that united its members.
= \ y
Prof. william Starr Myers. the most
recent historian OF the party, makes
= graceful bow to Ripon and then
says that "the next great step in the
final organization of new party, and
the step usually accepted by histori-
cal judgment as being the actual be-
ginning of the Republican organiza-
tion, was taken when state conven-
ton was held. little over three
months after the Ripon meeting, at
Jackson. Mich. on July 6, 1854"
Myers draws largely from Henry
Wilson's The Rise and Fall of the
Slave Power and The Republican
Party. by Francis Curtis.

repealed the Missouri Compromise.

ties wide open and furnished the big
