At the mention of his name we visualize marble statutes perpetuat- ing his image, and oil paintings preserving his rfeat_ureq.and the cut of his uniform. We rarely conceive him as being intensely human, and abundantly endowed -with horse sense. hung so-many ments he seems to.voice pontificial utterances.” Soith We have frills upon him that in these encumberjng vest- t his re- mark about entangling alliances'has established a religion, very much as certain texts in the Epistles have eqtablished the tenetg of conflicting denominations. W ashington was not hierarch. He was a supremely practi- cal American and took things as he found them.' A voyage to Europe took many weeks, and his country was in no way de- pendent on foreign trade. - European contemporary history was a series of dynastic wars, and America had nothing to gain and everything to lose by close association with the Old World. Washington’s precepts were uttered for the guidance of the newly born republic, just as of the Old Covenant. Today these conditions are the Mosaic Law applied to-Israel 'reversed. Europe is distant only a five days’ trip. European wars today are not dynastic; they are largely concerned with arguments between classes— laborers, artificers; boyggeoisie and land holders—who are of- ten peasants. If Europe becomes a dangerous place for Ameri- cans it becomes a dangerous place for American goods—raw materials and manufacturers. kets on this hemisphere, and, will be cut in two. We shall be restricted to mar- with the field narrowed, prices So will wages. That is what Europe mans to us today. We need not be- come partisians in every European territorial quarrel, but no man in Bemidji who is not a Rip Van Winkle can fail to recog- nize that Europe is for us a living reality—not a quaint store-; house of historical associations. kR - I P ] —. NEWS OF THE THEATERS “FOR BETTER. FOR WORSE.” That a new Cecil B. DeMille pro- duction is one of the things the near future holds is always pleasing newg to those who care for the best _-n'? photoplay art, for it is a recognized fact that the pictures made by this master director are actual theatri- cal events. M. DeMille’s latest cren- tion “For Better, For Worse,” will be snown at the Elko theatre tomnor- row and Sunday. For,those who are familiar. with the work of Mr. D Mille,.no further statement is neces- sary than that a picture is directed by him 'personally, for this know- ledge is an assurdnce that the theme, the story, the acting and the pro- duction will all be more than excei- lent. Edgar Selwyn, a well known playwright, wrote the original story. He intended to produce it as a stage play next season in New York, bat Mr. DeMille purchased the rights to it, for it was exactly the sort of thing he was, looking for—timely, dramatic.- vivid in characterization and genuinely, human. “THE VILLAGE CHESTNUT.” Louise Fazenda is recognized s one of the most talented comediennes in motion pictures. She is amon% the hest stars of the Mack Sennett organization and she will be seen :n sthe latest .Paramount-sack Sennett comedy, “The..Village Chestnut” a the Elko thedtre tomorréw ‘and-Sun day.

STRONG FREDERICK ROLE. ' Seen as an American girl caught in Paris at the outbreak of .the -war, Pauline Frederick has a remarkable role in the screen adaption of Clyde Fitch’s famous play, “The Woman i the Case,” which is being presented at the Grand theatre tonight only. This is a splendid story in which Miss When' not. employed im = Pauline Frederick portrays the role accused of murder and who, by the practice ,of her arts, succegds in wresting a confession from the wom- an in the case of her knowledge of the suicide of a man whose murder she seeks to fasten upan another. TELEPHONE TRICK BRINGS NOVEL’ SMASHING CLIMAX In the sophisticated civilization of; New Orleans Rex Beach is as thor- ghly at home as when relating a/| oty of Alaska. This is borne out in 4The Crimson Gardenia,”” newest of his- novels to ve picturized at the] Goldwyn studios. It will be seen at’ the Grand theatre, 8aturday. and Sun- day. 3 . The story is of courge, unlike those in which he has iImmortalized Alaska., It treats of the Mardi Gras and the machinations of a band of expert counterfeiters. The story is one of' intrigue, .plot and counter plot and unexpected climaxes. Absorbing from start to finish. there are many. instances of resourcefullness in ex- tricating Rex Peach’'s characters: from difficulties which seem impos- sible to escape. Charley Chaplin will also be seen in ‘‘Shanghied,” one of his best, and which has not been shown in Bemidji for-a long time.
