There was bound to be considerable speculation as to the effect admission of women to suffrage would have on election results. But the problem might be more mystifying than it is, had not women in twelve states voted for president four years ago. Since then other states have admitted them to partial or full suffrage so that it is estimated that seventeen million women would have had the WHAT OTHERS SAY August 30, 1920 Editor, The Pioneer: Recent_ action taken by the city council provides gor a whiteway lighting system for this city to be installed before early winter if possible. This sys- tem will, according to the present plans and specifi- . cations, be composed of 120 single unit posts with lamps of 400 candle power, and will cost the city approximately $32,595 including interest, on a two-year payment plan, half of the principle being payable at the end of the first year. F:orty of these lights will be operated during the entire night, while the remaining eighty lights will be turned off at 11 o’clock. Under proper distribu- tion, these forty lights will undoubtedly prove suf- ficient for the general need after that hour. The present plans, however, show that all of these forty lights are to be located on the avenues only, at the corner and in most cases ‘“‘around the corner” " from the streets. Beltrami avenue will have four- teen, Minnesota fourteen, Bemidji ten, and America two. Um:ler this plan no provision has been made for the lighting of Third street, between Beltrami and Minnesota avenues after the hour of eleven. Thu:d street is generally known as one of the busiest sections of the entire city and activities there seldom any address’ right of presidential suffrage had Tot the eighteenth amendment been ratified. Under the suffrage amendment it is estimated that twenty-seven mil- lion will be eligible to cast their ballots. It has not been found that admission of women to suffrage has revolutionized the politics of any state. In most cases it is has merely emphasized the previous political trend. In fact the matter ‘of deciding political affiliation is much more of a family matter, and properly, than might be sus- pected. There are instances, doubtless, where the family divides politically, but as a rule the ld_\llt members of a family are of one mind politically. The eighteenth amendment was based on the ground that it would accord to'women what is and has been their right. That it should be expected to operate to reverse political tendencies is mnot indicated by its operation in the states where women have long exercised the right of suffrage. By reasoning or intuition the wife is likely to find herself reaching the conclusion as to the proper course in political action that the husband has ar- rived at by similar means. What is the political, reasoning and interest of one member of a family is likely to prove the interest of all. No doubt the influence of women at the ballot box has been expressed forcibly heretofore and the most marked difference to be observed will be in the increase in the numebr of ballots cast.

Still, the plans indicate, that after that hour, the only lights which in any wug would benefit the street would be the two on eaci intersecting avenue and all of these are practically “around the Corner” and of benefit to the avenue alone. 3 Second, Fourth and Fifth streets, between the same two avenues, are to be allotted the same num- ber of lights as Third street, but on those streets - the travel and business after 11 o’clock is not very heavy and the avenue lights would suffice under the present conditions. Vb Should the proposed lights for Third street be so changed ‘as to conform with the position .of the lights on the avenues, some benefit would be re- ceived. As it is planned, only a short distance at each end of the block will receive light from the avenue lamps. A possible solution of the situation and a means to provide the amount of lighting which this sec- tion of Third street almost requires would be that of connecting the lights proposed for each side of the middle of the block with the all-night lights. In bringing this matter to the attention of the public, I am not the only one located in business on Third street who believes that a decided change shouid be made in the plans for this block, but many other business men.in the same block unite with me in voicing the need for the change. Others with- out a doubt as they become acquainted with the plans will also join in the plea for sufficient lights in this block after 11 o’clock. “A Third Streeter.” THE TWO0 TRIANGLES A stab into those dark chapters of material unhappiness that never are probed by the light of publicity is revealed in ‘‘The Invisible Divorce,” National Picture which comes to the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thurs- day.

'BEMIDJI ELKO TONIGHT “The Desperate Hero,” a new pic- ture in which Owen Moore may asain be seen at the Elko theatre this week is a comedy drama.

Tn addition to his credit- ors he is pursued by a particularly mailignant fate. His motor car burus up, he is forced to give his personal services to a rival for two weeks; he is made to appear ignoble in the eyes of the father of the girl he wishes to marry, and he almonst loses an $800,000 fortune.

WM. 8. HART AT GRAND TONIGHT After all, there is no one lika Wil- liam S. Hart to portray a redblooded “two-gun’’ role in a picture about the West of the olden, golden days. Such a photoplay is “The Toll Gate,” which was enjoyed by a large audience at the Grand theatre last evening and which will be shown again tonight and tomorrow. It is the first of the pictures to be released by Paramount Artcraft that were produced by William S. Hart’s own company and under his personal supervision unquestionably it is among his best offerings. Mr. Hart hds the role of Black Deering, a slashing, hard-riding ban- dit chief. Betrayed by one of his men, Deering is captured by U. S. troopers, but he manages to escape and, with the sheriff’s posse hot. on his trail, finally reaches seclusion aft- er many thrilling scenes. In a little ‘clearing he comes upon the cabin of Mary Brown and learns that she is the deserted wife of the man who NEWS OF THE THEATRES gave him up to the law. In the days that follow, influenced by her noble chdracter, Deering surrenders to the sheriff. In a subsequent encounter, he kills his betrayer and for his goou conduct on that and previous occa- sions is allowed his freedom. provided he keeps south of the Mexican bord- er. Mary Brown loves him and wishes to accompany him, but Deering, mind- ful of his dishonest past, feels he is unworthy and departs alone. ‘“The Toll Gate” was written by William 8. Hart and Lambert Hill- yer, and the latter directed the pic- ture. Anna Q. Nilsson is the lead- ing woman, and a prominent member of the cast is Mr. Hart’s remarkably intelligent Pinto pony. REX THEATRE TODAY: “G0 AND GET IT” Classics have been written about newspaper work. They have been classics of action but have failed to reflect the actual atmosphere of a newspaper office. Plays have 'been based upon the romances which are daily happening in the “game” of gathering - and disseminating the news but they also have failed in giving'a correct impression due to the limitations of the speaking stage. Now Marshal Neilan, the modern picture director, has braved the satirical criticism which the news- papermen heap upon those who offer an incorrect depiction of their craft, by producing a picture founded en- tirely upon the gathering of all the news connected with one of the most startling events which ever took ‘plnce in a small city. “Go And Get It” is the title he has given to it. It is released through First National. It is the instructions which the city editor gives to the reporter who unmravels the mystery that has balked the police. It is not a fantastic idea for a newspaperman to accomplish such a thing. In the retent Elwell murder mystery in New York City, the work of a news- paperman in finding a valuable wit- ness in Ireland after two weeks’ search gave the officlals new light upon the matter which caused them to change entirely the theories they had formed after a month's investiga- tion. Pat O’Malley, the youthful screen star has given picture.fans the sur- prise of their life in his stunt work} in Marshall Neilan’s latest photo- play, “Go And Get It.” In this start- ling drama of newspaper life which the First National is releasing, O’Malley performs almost impossible feats of daring. In the case of “Go And Get It” which has its first local showing at the Rex today will be seen Agnes Ayres, Wesley Barrey and Pat O'Mal- ley. ‘“Go And Get It” marks the third independent production of Mar- |’ shall Neilan’s under his history mak- ing contract with Associated First National pictures. His two former successes have ‘been ‘The River’s End,” and “Don’t Ever Marry.” “Go And Get It” is said to eclipse his pre- vious efforts. WILLIAM RUSSELL STAR ‘The Califoruian Redwoods are the setting for a.powerful story of love and adventure, entitled ‘“The Man Who Dared,” a, new Fox photoplay starring Willlam Russéll, which is to to open at the Rex theatre on Tues- day. Advance 'reports indicate that Rus- sell here has a starring vehicle well suited to him. He plays the part of a lumber jack boss who commits a sin in order to hold the love of a girl, and is led to repentance and atonement. .‘The story and scenario are by Ju- lius G. Furthman, and Emmett J. Flynn directed the production. Sup- porting Mr. Russell are Eileen Percy —since made a Fox star—as leading woman; Frank Brownlee, whom all film fans know; Fred ‘Warren, Lon Poff and a squad of Californian lum- ‘berjacks—the real article. The chief of the lumber jacks is Jack King, who has been in the forests since early boyhood. h “THE GRAN 7:30-9:00 18¢ & 38c¢ PRONOUNCED BY ALL TO BE HIS BEST PICTURE " in the seven-part super special HgEINENGS TOLL GATE” Also—“DROPPED INTO SCANDA”—Comedy TONIGHT J.
