One of the important factors in
the success of Dolores Del Rios

Artists, THE Bad One," which is
now playing at Loew's Palace,

ton Of George Fitzmaurice to di-
rect.
This capable directorial genius,
who started life as an artist in the
French ateliers, possesses the rare
ability to convey the impression of
pictorial charm to whatever he
dranatizeS on the screen.
His main concern is beauty. both
N composition and in action,
whether that action is Of the re-
pressed type, such as characterizeS
many Of his latest sophisticated
dramas, or whether it is of the

THE Bad One," which presents
Miss Del Rio and Lowe in roles
such as made them famous over
night in What Price Glory"
It was Fitzmaurice'S suggestion
that Miss Del Rios initial debut in

The Prohibition Rally.
(NeW York World.)


 Once more the captains of the leading Prohi- btion organizations have met in Washington to demand enforcement of the law. Their purpose, as reported by the Associated Press, is familiar one. They intend "to formulate program more militant than any program since the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment" For eleven years the Prohibition organizations have been formulating pro- grams, each one more militant than it's predeces- Sor. Simultaneously, each year has brought fresh proof that the law itself is and easily evaded and and widely disobeyed not by criminay minded people but, MT. Hoover once complained "by large number of law-abiding people"
 What change in the existing situation can the friends of the Eighteenth Amendment hope to acheive by another militant" program at this late day in the experiment with National Prohibition? Ten years of experience with militant programs show the futity of attempting to persuade large part of the public that the Prohibition law is like all other laws equally binding upon the conscience of the American people and entitled to equal respect Ten years of experience show the futity of expecting either the Federal Government or the State Governments to create agencies cap- able of enforcing the law in the face of the wide spread opposition it has encountered. At the end of ten years the Federal Government has created enforcement agency which is described by the Department of Justice "pitfully inadequate" for it's work. The State Governments have adopted quantities of laws but appropriated practically noth ing to enforce them. Such meager appropriations as have been made in years gone by are not likely to be enlarged in view of the obvious drift of pub lie sentiment.
 We face two real alternatives The first is continuation of the present situation: with un- regulated liquor traffic becoming more formidable every year with gang warfare increasing in the larger cities the division of rich spoils with liquor steadily plentiful and easier to obtain, and with a dry majority of Congress solemnly pretending that it is possible to make the Vostead Act effective with one agent to every 10000 people. This is called enforcement The second alternative is to liquidate the results of unsuccessful exper ment and to begin afresh by restoring responsibility to the States.
 It may be years before the moderate and reasonable friends of Prohibition ready to accept the second of these two alternatives. They will accept it only when they have been persuaded that real regulation of the liquor traffic in accord ance with standards of public opinion in different communities is preferable to pretense of regulation under Federal law which to all prac- tical purposes has become dead letter

ENGLAND, MASTER COLONIST.

The whereabouts of the skull of an African chieftan, considered by the Allies to be of such importance to be given a whole section in the Treaty of Versailles, still continues a mystery England to whom the return of the grim relic to Africa seems to be desirable if not important. has made two requests for Germany for it's de- livery as required by the peace treaty Germany, who is no longer concerned about what happens in Africa, professes ignorance of its whereabouts but believes it buried somewhere in former Ger East Africa
 English statesmen know, of course there is no virtue in the missing skull. But African tribes men whom England governs entertain different ideas on the subject. To them it is something sacred, and its return means to England than just gratifying a native whm. That she is still trying to make good" in this instance is but another evidence of why and how she has been able to maintain her widely scattered colonial pos sessions and dominions that circle the globe.

Transferring Public Lands.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Two or three times in late weeks word has out of Washington that the Public Lands Commission, when it meets in January, will advo- cate transfer to the States of what remains of the public domain. The gift would be made, accord ing to information, with string attached to it. The Government would reserve all subsurface rights in where minerals known to exist. The claimant States, however have always insisted, and still insist, that domain lands within their borders theirs of right, including forests or mineral deposits.
 While gift, or half gift, any plan to turn these be met with determined antagonsm and fought to in the West. Large parts of the domain are made up of barren and unproductive land of little actual value. It is obviously not this that the States begging for but for the lands that are richly forested conceal beneath the surface the gas, oil, silver copper and other valuable minerals which make up the bulk of national resources.
 This wealth belongs to the country, not to ind- vidual States Every conservation expert body to discuss the transference plan since it broach- ed by Secretary Wilbur has pointed to its grave dangers The proposal is in direct contravention to every governmental scheme to protect mineral and timber resources from overproduction and wasteful exploitation Squandering of natural wealth has occurred wherever State control has been in force No exists for believing the public domain would not meet like fate under State authority If Congress find legal justification for transferring surface rights of the public lands it is pretty certain that subsurface rights would soon follow. Achievements of long years of conservation work would be sacrificed

REPUBLICANS AWOOING GO.

The farmer object of sympathy for both big political parties is about to be wooed scien- tifically by Republicans. To explain to the be- eaguered agriculturalists of the country just how deep is the concern of the G. O. P. for their well fare, how tradtonaly the Grand Old Party has been its champion through veal and woe, and how deep has been the said party's interest in the well fare of the horny handed of the soil, the Ma tional Committee has established Agricultural Division This is innovation in organized politics.
 Heretofore the G. O. P. has contented itself with dividing itself into geographical divisions and centering the great industrial and banking groups for special cultivation from whence comes financial sustenance for sinews of political activities But the farmer has, lately, displayed tendency to desert the tents of the party of course being largely ignorant of the great deeds it has accomplished in his behalf.
 Possibly the Agricultural Division will sue ceed better in educating the farmer than the party candidates did in the last election. These mis- sionares found little enthusiasm for their doctrines in the corn wheat and cotton belts, and their tracts labeled Tariff Revision, failed to stop the whole sale desertion which if not checked before 1852, promise to leave the Grand Old Party in hope

'ToO Fat to Fight" Depression Effects.
Seattle Business Chronicle)

Merle Thorpe, brilliant editor of Nations Busi- ness, occasional visitor in the Pacific Northwest, in a recent radio address described the American nation in this present of depression "too fat to fight" It apt characterization. With all its wealth, with more money, more productive machinery, basic supplies and more labor than ever before our nation sinks back in easy chair think gloomy thoughts instead of tossing off its coat and shaking aside the depression in vigorous effort. In MT Thorpe's opinion the present need is not SO much for more buying power for buy ing power in active motion.
