" HARNWELL, Editor . ‘Entered at the postoftice at Bemidji; Minn., as second- ‘class matter under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. No atteition paid to enonymous contribiitions. Whiter's ‘name ‘must. be known to ‘the editor, but not nevessarily ‘for publication. Communications for the Waekly Ploneer must reach’ this ‘office not later than ‘of ‘each week to insure publication in the Six Months Three Months ,...... 1.36 THB WEEKLY ‘PIONEER—Twelve pages, published and sent postage paid to any address “AMERICA FIRST” MAY WELL APPLY. ‘Semator 'Harding, -republican candidate for the “presidency of ‘the United' States, recently declared that the Irish problem “is not a question for official Americs,” and that in his opinion the movement for Irish independence would be a subject “internal or domestic.” , i He expresses a good, sound principle when he states that he does mot think that the American government should become mixed up in this ques- tion. -With a serious. situation confronting this -country as concerns the racial differences on the wrest coast -and’ ‘particularly in California, with the so-called ¢ " continually showing up in various. jobs of “dirty work,” and with hundreds of ‘other problems vital to our own land arising every ‘day, America certainly has' job emough on her hands without acting officially on a question - such as that in Ireland, a question which is not nearly so vital to thi_. country as a nation as are hundreds of other which are not receiving the attention they should receive. DI A 2 ALAS! POOR DRESS SUITS! Much sympathy is due the attorneys in Danville, - Illinois, who appeared in the Parke county court in full evening dress because of the fact that Atwelve women had been impanelled for the jury. “I am not much of a mathematician,” said the cigarette, but I can add to a man’s nervous trou- bles; I can substract from his physical energy; I can multiply his aches and pains; I can divide his - mental powers; I can take interest from his work ;}:h t:liuouqt. his chances of - success.”—Notthern —_—— There is talk of taking the next national census all in one day, so people will not be counted twice. But if everybody is only going to counted once, where will a 1ot of these boom ! cities get their fancy census figures?—Brainerd Dispatch. e That “as-goes Maine, so goes the Union,” came . with such a deadening thud this year that we have hardly -had the courage to tell it to democrats.

No.doubt. but. that the attorneys felt as if-they conld-make a better im- pression on the jury if they were clothed in thai}' best. 2 . : WAIST LINES ON CASH BASiS. Female waist lines have been reduced to aleash basis;*says a New York newspaper ‘article, and: the “two-bit” waist line _promises "to vie with. the “perfect 36" of world-wide fame.. An apron social was held recently at Bayonne, N, J., at which the admission charge was a_penny an inch, according to the measurement of the waist. Gresat sorrow for the heavy lady who may not' have -attended just " for this reason. It is said that there was a slim attendance anyway. i P AR AS PR RN NOW FOR THE COAL'MINES. The effects of the tremendous cut in the price of Fords are already noticeable, at least in the news- papers. Two of the largest mail - order ‘houses in the world have followed Henry’s example, it is reported, and have anmbunced cuts’ from 10 to 20 per cent in many. lines of merchandise. : Ford is certainly making the automobile’ manu- ‘factures take notice, but at this time of the year it might be far better for the general public if Ford was a coal mine operator. 4 : —_—— MORE ACTION FOR THEIR MONEY. There has been an expression that the increase in the rail rates may tend to reduce the cost of living since it is some times the -rule .thlt the better paid servant turns out better work. The increase. in freight and passenger rates may have a tendency to increase the working efficiency of the railroads and.consequently assist.in reducing the’ cost of living. One thing certain, it will not reduce the cost of dying, “especially away from home. PO O THE ORIGINAL “SHIMMIER” IS FOUND OUT. Discovered! The derivation and origin of the “ghimmie” have at last been found out, at ‘least 8o it is reported. Ardent workers who felt it a duty' to" the world in general have traced it back to the Duchess of Vendome, who for some reason -or other shiveréd in the middle of the ball-room at St. Sebastian, ‘Spain. It is not verylikely that the fair Duchess knew what she was starting. An 1. W. W. or Bolshevik or Communist or any other of the above stripe is a menace to this country.

LYTELL IN FAMOUS PLAY | AT REX THEATRE SUNDAY ‘Bert Lytell will be seen Sunday at the Rex theatre in Metro’s screen version of the -internationally ~ fa- mous crook drama, “Alias Jimmy Valentine,” from the play by Paul Armstrong. . & To remark ‘on the nature of this play borders on the superfluous, for it probably is the most popular and successful melodrama’ written in the last decade. It was first presented in the stage in New York, with H. B. Warner in the title role, and ram for a long, crowded season. The ex- tended career the piece has had on the road and in stock companies needs no‘comment. ? P > “Alias Jimmy Valentine’ is a rol entirely different from any he has portrayed in Metro’s “fewer and bet- ter’ series of special productions. His previous-appearances, as the tempera- ‘mental’ modiste in “Lombardi, Ltd" _ and as the supercilious and brilliant harley Steele in Sir Gilbert Parker’s 'The Right of Way,” are far removed in character from the magnetic jail bird hero, “Alias Jimmy Valentine, whose name is a household word in America. To say that the part is one admir- ably suited to Mr. Lytell’s abilities rather discounts them for it is be- coming known that this young Metro star does not need a role tailored to him. He is probably the one young male star of the screen who makes his characterizations individual, makes them different from the con- ventional type of theatrical hero. Jimmy is a person, however, whom Mr. Lytell knows from having por- trayed him in stock, on the stage. MT WALTHALL ‘ENACTS ~'NEW AND THRILLING ROLE The many admirers of Henry B. . ‘Walthall will hail with interest his ce in “A Splendid’ Hazard,” the Rex theatre's feature atiraction onh “A g’l did & lon Hazard,” Walthall takes the leading male role.. The ~part is rich in opportunities for char- acter portrayal which the actor has realized in full. The picture is an Allan Dwan pro- duction, presented by .Mayflower Photoplay corporation and released thru First National. Coming—*“Bride 13"”—a serial in fifteen acts. ‘Lanirteen-brides-sratch- ed away from the alter on their wed- ding day by a band of pirates and no power to apprehend them, 4 REX TODAY—“RIDERS ‘ OF THE PURPE SAGE” . A great star, a great story by a great author, a great cast and a great director! William Farnum, ~Frank Lloyd, Zane Grey and William Fox—+ these are the chief figures responsible for “Riders of-the Purple Sage,” a photodrama of the west with a-new plot. A picture that is colorful, stir- ring in its rush of action and inci- dent, brimming . with the keenest drama, strong and human and poig- nant in its emotional interest. “Riders of the Purple Sage” is un- questionably the westérn film of all time, just as the natienally known novel of which it is-a faithful tran= script was acclaimed everywhere: as a work of brilHant distinction. The vigorous romance of the ran- ger who rode for vengeance i3 de- veloped so powerfully, so deftly, that no one person in'a thousand can re- sist its mighty sweep. . The story of “Riders-of the Purple Sage” was bought at a great figure from its author, as Zane Grey is uni- versally recognized as the foremost writer in his field. < The star, William' Farnum, is-Am- erica’s most popular actor and is ab- solutely peerless in his ability. WORTH WHILE FEATURE “Dollars and the Woman,” which was shown at the Elko theatre last night, where it again appears last times tonight, has one of the most timely themes in the world today. It it ‘a story ol vital interest to every human being. The domestic probl which is responsible for much of the discord and unhappiness in homes is presented- in a most entertaining In treatment alone is this story by ‘Albert Payson Terhune new- It bears the earmarks ofhis master touch which places. it, among’ - the worth- while features of the screen. Add to such a storg the personality of Alice Joyce, a star renowned for her un- | usual -dramatic gnd emotional skill, and the result is a production far above. par: It is-an unusual.picture,. ‘one that will-interest all ages, classes and conditions; a stroy for the masses written about things that exerybody understands. s , AN BIG SUCCESS “Sitk Husbarnds and Calico Wives” is the interesting title of the latest production from the Garson Studios, which is to appear at the Elko the- atre tomorrow, also on Monday and ‘Tuesday. A Harry Garson announces the distin- guished actor, House Peters as the star of this production. Mr. Peters is beloved because of his virile, red- -blooded type of character portrayals, and his magnificent successes.as Johnson in “The Girl of the Golden West” and “The Great Divide’ -are still regarded as among the very best portrayals of film history. ~ “gilk Husbands and Calico Wives” 1s one of the really interesting plays of the season. It was written by Monte M. Katterjohn author of “Car- men of the Klondike,” “Flame of the Yukon” “Puppy Love’ ’and more than a scofe of other big successes. Unlike any - of Mn Katterjohn’s stories which have dealt with the big open country,*“Silk Husbands and Calico Wives” is a thoroughly and in- tensely modern story dealing - with the city. House Peters as the star, Mary Alden playing opposite in one of the very biggest roles of her ca- reer, Ruth St. Clair, Sam Sothern, Mildred Reardon and Edward M. Kimball form cast of “Silk Husgands and Calico ‘Wives.” The added attrac- tion at the Elko for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is Mack Sennett’s lat- est comedy entitled ““Great Scott.” OUT OF THE STORM . The most recent Eminent Authors Production is “Out of the Storm” written by the famous woman author, Gertrude Atherton. This picture may ‘be seen at.the Granditheatre, for two days, commencing tonight. Sydney Ainsworth plays the role of A.jert Levering in this picture, and although he plays what is known as ithe heavy, in the technical language of motion pictures, his portrayal com- mands a certain amount of sympathy. As Albert Levering, he becomes the bengfactor of a poor girl, Margaret “lay i played: by Barbara: Castleton. ‘He recognizes in her the possibilities of agreat singer, and for two years “l'he.puts: her under the scholarship of a well known professor... At the end of this'period, Levering is arrested as an_embezzler and Margaret is left alone. i ‘After struggling against hard cir- cumstances for a ' long time, - she eventually arrived in England as a At one of her concerts, .she met.a young English lord and later an attachment formed between them which = grew into love. Levering is released from prison and comes to ind Margaret. ‘He loves her and when he finds her happy and set- tled he ‘'goes away, making the su- preme sacrifice, leaving her to happi- ness.rather than assert the claim he has over her. = “ W.” Lawson Butt, Clarissa. Sel- wynne, Doris Pawn and John Bow- ers are additional members of the cast. ““Fatty” Arbuckle in.“Oh, Doctor” will furnish the laughs of the even- ing. S b TEXAS IN UPHEAVAL Chicago, Sept. 25.—Phil E: Baer, Republican State chairman'of Texas, brought _to ‘Chicago in a recent visit news of an impending ‘political up- heaval in the Lone Star State. ‘Mr. Baer declared that, strange as it might: seem, there was a real chance of electing a Republican gov- ernor- in Texas, ~ In any event, he says, the Demo- crats will lose-out in three congres- sional districts and one of them is'the fourteenth, now represented by Bur- leson’s brother-in-law, Carlos Bee of San ‘Antonio. % More ‘than this, Mr. Baer, who is an old railway telegraph operator and who. has been sounding sentiment among railroad employeesin a numb- er of states including his own, says the men who have heretofore been Republicans among the railroad<em- ployees will vote the republican tick- et, and many who have heretofore] been democrats will support Hardin REX-.fllESflAY' Mayflower Photoplay: o tion presents Corpora-. ‘«A SPLENDID HAZARD” Henry B.
