THE MAN AND THE PUBLIC. (The Country Gentleman.) John Smith is a carpenter, mason, miner, railroad man, ditcher or any other laborer who works for wages. He labors on the eight hour plan and just about succeeds in making both ends meet in the undertaking to provide the family needs. But he wants something more than the bare necessities; he wants an automobile or a piano or perhaps a better house. How shall he get it? son vetoed it. Now there are two ways in which our friend, Smith, can (lature also passed a similar law, but|and—well, you'll surely laugh. For instance, the south wanted a high tariff on cotton, while the north didn’t want any tariff on it at all. And thus every locality had some dif- ferent favor to ask of Congress. Well, the state of Minnesota is facing some- thing like the same kind of proposi- tion. The question of putting a tax upon iron ore has been agitated for a number of years, and during the re- gime of the late and lamented Gov- ernor Johnson, the legislature passed a law taxing the ore, but Mr. John-| «patty” Arbuckle as ‘““The Sheriff” The last regular legis-|again appears. on the same program, proceed in this attempt to realize his ambitions for better living, |Gov- Burnquist, like his predecessor, refused to let it become a law.

Some wonld choose|upon which the next political fight in one way and some the other, with the odds, at present, rather in favor of getting the increase without labor. While it makes no difference to Smith, in carrying out his p!ans, whether he gets the extra money by extra labor or by a higher wage, it does make a decided difference to the public. If pe gets the extra money by extra work, then he is really producing the thing he wants. Even if he does not actually make the automobile which he is to drive, he makeg something else that can be traded for it in the markets of the world.. As he is making that by extra labor in extra time, the world, as well as John Smith, is richer by reason of his ambition and to the §xtent of one automobile, which would never have been built if John Smith had not wanted a-fuller life badly enough to put in extra hours to get it « 2 However, if John Smith gejts his money by a raise in wages and without extra service, them no extra automobile appears upon the market because of his ‘new desires. He simply goes out and buys from the stock on hand in competition with others, thereby raising the price because no machine was made for the special purpose of meeting this new demand. .. .=~ And that is not all. Though Smith is richer by an automo- bile, the public has gained nothing. Not only that, but the p blic. is short_er by one automobile than it was before, and|Guard company with hope of getting will make it all the harder for every other man who wants|a modern amuory. o119, t0"0WNl' & Mmachine at is true of aut| i & of| ana%dds: “Tmey¥hve appare X 5 iles f % 5 vé apparent.y 3 bmobile trug Of' pointéd a captain jehind whom bot! of its newspapers sre now lined up. 0s, of housing, of clothing, of food an i desirable to make one comfogrtable. e ) The economic principle is—and we cannot get away from it—when a man first feels the desire for more or better things, he shoqld find some way of increasing, not his wages, but his producmg.powel:, else the world is poorer and not richer be- cause qf his ambition. If he will do that, the world, as well as t_)therwme, everybody, Smith included, will ultimately be in- jured by these laudable impulses, and general stagnation would be the only preventive of revolution in the general attempt to get wha't one is not willing to work honstly for by rendering full equivalent in actual production. The farmer is not caught at this point because he works for goods, not dz;ectly for money. That is to say, if he wants an automobile, piano or something not hitherto afforded, there is only one way by which to get the money with which to buy }t. That way is to produce more crops or animals, which of itself means ha.\rder work. It is the wage earner who is caught by a false philosophy because he works only for money and he frequently does not seem to realize that back of the money plains of the seriousness of housing ; 1 t —__«“Broki must always be' goods actually produced by honest labor, if,|its residents.

To clear his boss, who is also his sweetheart’s father, of a serious charge, he leaves town and secures a job as sparring partner for a pugilist. Later he appears in the roped arena and lands a knock- out blow, which gains fame as the “egg crate wallop,” on the jaw of the man who tried to frame the fight. Through his victory he discovers some things that enable him to straighten out the tangle in his home town and claim the hand of his girl. LAST SHOWING TONIGHT. “Human Desire,” in which Anita Stewart will be seen at the Rex artist, but the “arrived” man who makes plenty of money out of his work. The hero is an artist who one even- ing steps out the front door of one of the fine old homes which still line the North side of the Square, to find a poor Italian girl resting on the steps. He learns she has no place to go, turns her over to the cares of a kind landlady, and later uses her as the model for a picture he is painting. Trouble comes when she learns that he has a wife, from whom he is sep- arated. ~ The wife suddenly appears during the artist’s absence and turns the Italian girl into the street. Too proud to seek out the man who thus deceiv- ed her she lives under hardships until Fate opens the way to a reconcilia- tion. Screaming Fox Sunshine comedy, and also the Fox World’s News” series. NEW MIX FEATURE. Screen atmosphere, or attention to in motion pictures, is receiving more attention from film producers. A striking example of this is ‘The [Feud,” the new Tom Mix picture morrow at the Rex theatre. Much of the action of this'feature women wore hoopskirts and men wore tumes was easy enough to settle, for old illustrations were obtainable from which the costumes for Tom Mix, Eva | were copied. GIRL AS A GAMBLING STAKE. In one of the most intense moments of her life a young girl gambles for herself and loses. What her losing means to her and to two other human lives is told in the most thrilling pho- toplay that has been listed at this supported by Thos. Santschi. ture it is an intense and unusual pre- sentation of love of one girl and two men and the tragic results of broken commandments in two lives, that come at last out of their tangles thru the nobility of the men and their understanding of the ‘“new command- ments.” The story apparently offers as great promise as any ever shown and with Miss Brockwell as the star it should be a wholesome thriller.
