It required the decision of the United States supreme court to decide the constitutjonality of the war.time prohibition act, which it decided in the affirmative in its decision handed down Monday;, after the liquor interests.had fought the act tooth and nail in a frantic endeavor to secure immunity from arrest-and conviction for violation of the law. 2k e Peace has not been proclaimed and unless it is before the date the constitutional act becomes effective on January 16, millions of gallons of intoxicating liquor will become useles.s, and the government will lose mil}ions on revenue taves, paid for sale of the whiskey alone. :.: i . ] " But it would be worth it. The results of excessive drink has filled penitentiaries for all manner of crime, and insane institutions and wrecked humanity of evex;x:descriptlon by the millions throughout the nation. We don’t believe all this is necessary in support of the government of the United States. The cost of the results is yearly more than the revenue derived from the tax which permits the destruction of human bodies and souls. o - ATTEND THE COUNTY POULTRY SHOW. The Beltrami County Poultry association will hold its fifth annual poultry show this week, commencing Wednesday and continuing until Saturday, and despite the severe weather suc- cess is looked for. It should be accorded a large patronage from Bemidji and surrounding country nad. from villages and towns, as the association is justly deserving in its efforts to im- prove the quality and quantity of pure bred and high class poultry in the county. In this, the association officials and breeders deserve the heartiest co-operation, as poultry is a profitable unit of every farm, likewise for the householders of the city. The Association deserves your patronage. v _—o— DR. FOLWELL MADE PRESIDENT EMERITUS.

Garfield has made a statement to a senate ‘committee that the principles underlying the president’s plan for a settlement of the coal strike, accepted by the miners, are based “fundamentally wrong.” Garfield has just resigned from his position of government fuel administrator. He admits being ignored by the president and calls attention to the com- mission of three to be appointed, to include a mine operator, a member of the mihers’ union and a third fromp “the public.” Garfield fegrs the representative of “the publie” will not get very far with his end of it. R —— 01 \ David Wark Griffith is reported to have been lost ‘at sea in a 8mall boat en route to the Bahama islands from a Florida port. If the report is correct, the motion picture has lost a .noted producer, for Griffith oxiginated that stupendous spec- _tacle, “The Birth of a Nation,” his first great motion picture, shown nation-wide. i : S ™ ' FENES < ; . Here’s some, cheering information.

The story encircles|on the score of fidelity to character. eight principal characters.” Standing out a little from the others is the character of Torrence Redmond, a de- scendant of an adventurous and ro- mantic race, who seems predestined to be one or both through his life. The underhanded. methods employed by an unscruplous uncle to place a rich relative’s grandson in disrepute, that he may acquire a fortune; gives “Torrence Redmond his cue for a geries of adventures and remantic ! exploits that run through the pro- duction with action cracking like a ) whip from start to finish. Four fistic] The .keynote of the character of June Barker is sincerity, and this charming actress’ work in this pro- duction earns her a place among the bright stars of film-drama. ¥ ' Miss Eddy has played leads in mafy screen successes, being best known for her splendid work with George Beban when that sterling ac- tor was at the apex of his popularity. As a type for “June” Miss Eddy is ideal, and not for a moment does she - fail to register in a part -that*calls for acting of the highest order. In one scene, her sister’s wedding, ¥ THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER she kisses the man she loved and lost with acting which brings a lump’ to your throat. “The Turn in the Road” will be shown Wednesday and Thursday at the Grand. * WHY THE BARRIER John Stuart had lived alone in the| western hills for-many a year. ' His only friends were the Indians and the occasional settlers of the broad: west. Then one day in a party of travelers he met a girl from his own state in the east.

Wallace Reid’s new Paramount picture, “The Love Burglar,” which comes to the Elko theatre for two days, ‘beginning tomorrow, ‘is:an adaptation of the recent play by._the; celebrated author and playwright,; Jack Lait, entitled, “One of Us.” The! play hagd its premiere at the Morosco) theatre in Los Angeles.and afte: 'successful run in which Bertha Mann played the starring role, it'was taken East. . £ ¢ After a careful study of the values of the 'different roles, the producers decided that the hero role was by far a stronger one than the leading fem- inine role, and in the picture version, the leading male part is the stellar rolé. Wallace Reid is said to have a highly effective role in this pro-j duction. GIRL SELLS SELF. “The Price of Innocence,” with Stella Talbot in the role of Mary Ald~ ron, a squatter girl, will be presénted at the Rex-tonight. 3 The story of the production pic- tures squatter life on “Goose Island,” and visualizes their tragicattempts to "preserve the only abodes - they know from the. efforts of 2 wea.thy young land owner to drive them:-from their homes. Miss Talbot, as Mary Aldron, enacts a strong emotional part in preventing the plan to dis- posses her people, but at the cost of their confidence and belief in her.
