safeguarding the simple principles
of government, instead of sustaining
a party.
1t is growth and more growth of
governmental activities that the pro
fessiOn of politics is intel ested in.
That is is succeeding 3Ulehdi1ly and
is now at the pinnacle of It's pros
perity may be seen by using the only
practical measuring stiCk---the cost
of government. In the span of twen-
ty Yeas the cost of government has
grown from less than billion dol
lars a year to more than four bill
lion dollars a year. The cost of
state, and municipal government
has grown in the same ratio.
To possess the powe, that comes
from the authority to distribute four
billions of dollars a year makes the
profession of politics 4 very lively
profession. and there IS 5ure-enouSh
competition for control But the pro-
fcssiOl has narrowed this down to
two major parties, as two armies |

But that will soon be over for the

But in all of the publicity that is
given to this patriotic work. not a

It's true some effort is beiue made

but this is a study of administration

MISS STANWYCK| WINS FAVOR IN CAPITOL DRAMA
Ladies of Leisure Proves Good Story with
 Fine Settings

Ladies of Leisure" the Colum- bia all-talking drama of New York night life with Barbafa Stanwyck, Lowell Sherman and Ralph Graves, opened at the Capitol theatre last night and will be shown again tonight. The film is an adapta- ton of a David Belasco stage play of the same name by Milton Hergert Chopper.
 Story Is Not Complete
 The story is not a complete one. It proves the theory that a woman is what a man cl1oses to make of her. A girl of the streets will become a lady if she is rated as one. Ladies of Leisure" dra- matizes this fact in the case of an idealiSt artist and a gold-dig- ging party girl.
 An exceptional cast was assem- bled for the play.
 Fine Supporting Cast
 The performers include in addi- ton to the three stars, Marie Pre- vost, George Fawcett, Nance O'Nell Juliette Compton and Johnnie Walker.
 The production has been brought to the screen on a lavish scale. the staging is superb-tf1e acting excellent and the story holds in- terest.
