Its advocates refer us to nature in all her wondrous workings—the manner in which she accurately ful- fills the biblical promise that “to 3,49 | him that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that he hath.” Perhaps no scheme of life half so pernicious has ever been promul- &0y | sated by the sane men in any age of the world. True, nature, in the person of thé brute, works strictly along this line. It is absolutely necessary there. It is necessary from the fact unless every energy of the brute were given to the task of pre- serving self, then self, as represented by the brute, would soon cease to exist. Scientists define the difference be- tween man and the brute thusly: The brute knows, but knows not that it knows. Man knows, and knows that he knows. And in these truths lie the greatest danger to humanity of the “survival of the fittest” theory. The brute, knowing not that . it knows, recognizes absolutely no right but its own. For it the question of right does not exist. Nature has equipped it to make of self the very best specimen possible, even to the absorbing in many instances of the rights and very persons of all others. A Boston scientist predicts 75 cent eggs. Don't like ’em, anyway. There’s at least one satisfaction in the European war. All sides are victorious. Yes, it’s a fact that many a great man never brecks into history. We know from experience. Knocking a fellow does no good, does the city a lot of harm and dis- guests nearly everybody who hears it. [ a5 essential as himself) must have |tense, That is its first instinet, and were any other course followed it would be fatal to the life of the brute crea- tion. But when, through the faithful ad- herance to this primal instinct, the brute has reached brute perfection— well, it’s nothing but a brute any- way. A magnificent brute it may be, but merely a brute. ‘With man, however, the reverse is true. Knowing, and knowing that he knows, he consequently must know that he has rights. That being the case, he is compelled to know that all others (who are in every way right coequal with his own. There- ¢ | erations as the one who demanded for every man a ‘“square deal”—a ser- mon in a sentence. THEATRES Grand Theater. As “The Foundling” one of the most sweetly pathetic characters she has ever impersonated on the screen, Mary Pickford achieves the rare dis- tinction of surpassing herself. The characterization, one of tears and smiles, of pathos and tender senti- ment, will undoubtedly rank among the greatest film creations of this unrivalled mistress of the screen. This latest Paramount picture pro- duced by the Famous Players Film company is the current attraction at the Grand tonight. Molly O, the foundling, is the daughter of a struggling artist, at whose birth her mother dies. Be- cause of his wonderful love for his wife, the artist hates the child that caused her death, and gives the baby girl to a;mothering heart who cares for it. Later, this foster-mother dies, and the baby is housed in a foundling asylum. The tragedy of the wife’s death brings to the artist the master touch he has so long sought, and _in the years to follow he wins fame and fortune. One day he is inspired to paint a picture of the Madonna, of which his dead wife should be the basic figure. But when he undertakes the work he realizes that it will only succeed by the re- storation of his lost daughter. How the threads of destiny unite these parted souls, bringing to each its first genuine happiness, is absm-bing»l 1y unfolded in this unique photoplay —not, however, until a number of dramatic situations and a series of novel incidents have been If one-half of the mean things|in lies his utter futility of attempting |developed. that are said of candidates were true we would be better off with no offi- cers at all. The latest recruit in the sea of blood is the University of Chicago. It has declared a relentless war on Sparrows. The new diamond mine discovered in the Transaval is eighteen miles from Pretoria and a great many miles from this office. It is estimated that at 200 years of age an oak tree is full grown. At that it is a few hundred per cent ahead of some people. Of the people who buy goods on credit, 40 per cent never pay in full, 7 per cent never pay at all, and we don’t know how many wish they could get out of paying. Every merchant in this city wants to sell you goods. You want to trade with the merchant who will do the best by you, who will sell you the best goods at the least price. It is up to you to read the ads in this paper, and it is up the merchant to see that you read his ad. When you both do this you both win. Do you want to make a clear sav- ing of $25.00 to $50.00 on your ex- penses between now and the first day of next January? You can do it and this is the way you can do it. You will be making many purchases for yourself and your family for fall and winter purposes and for the Christmas time. There is always! some merchant in this eity who will do a little better by you than any- body else. When a merchant is able to do this he is keen to advertise and let the people know what he can and will do. Your own cue is to read carefully each day the adver- tisements in this paper. They tell the story and the name of the mer- chant who makes the story, the ads, s Every citizen of this city is in- terested directly in its welfare, for his own welfare depends upon the prosperity of the town. For that rea- son, if for no other, we should do as much as possible of our buying at — MORE AND MORE SICK PEOPLE are . finding Chiropractic Nature’s agent.

In brief, the moment he attempts to survive at the expense of the weaker brother, just that mo- ment he becomes most emphatically the “unfittest” in every sense of the brute scheme. He becomes as the brute. So much for ‘“‘the survival of the fittest.” But what about the survival of the ‘“unfittest?” That is a subject that might well engage the attention of the advo- cates of eugenics and other would-be “uplifters” of the human race. Go after the man who has never had a chance and give him a character. Lift up the brother who has fallen by the way and start him on the road again. Encourage the despond- ent. Help the weak. Strive to equalize the burdens of life. If all Miss Pickford’s masterly ability to mold pathos with humor is strik- ingly displayed throughout this five- part feature. She plays so effective- ly on the heart-strings of her audi-|. ence that the smile and tear pursue each other constantly. Capable sup- port is furnished the star by such sterling actors as Edward Martin- dell, Maggie Weston, Mildred Morris and Marcia Harris. . As “The Foundling” Mary Pickford adds another personal triumph to her unending list of successes. Rex Theater. The Rex theater presents tonight a convincing detective story of un- usual plot in two acts, “The Flaw in the Evidence,” in which a detec- tive who thinks he is clever finds himself outwitted by an old man.
