That distinguished actor, William Furnum, in the ro'e of Robert Moore, stirred the ; audience profoundly rough the appealing pathos of his racterization. It was a portrayal which never can be forgotten by those | who witnessed it. | Harry Millarde, of “Over the Hill” fame, and the ' cast includes Sally Crute, Wallace Erskine, John Webb Dillion, Frank Shannon, Frank Joy- ner, James W. Crane, Grace La Vell, Gilbert Rooney and Alice Mann. Robert Moore appears first as a fine type of the sturdy American di- rector of industry, serene in his con- sciousness of strength and_ ability, happy in his domestic life. From this he is changed, by evil report concern- ing his wife, to a creature torn by - jealousy, and red rage throws him antu‘e!y off his moral balance. De- pair follows, and then, on a murder chuxge, he passes within on a murder charge, he passes within the portals of a prison for twenty years. The resignation and gradual devel- opment of a saintly character in the prison contrast sharply with the bit- ter struggle of Martha Moore, his wife, in the world outside, to guard ter'two children from harm. The re- union, after twenty years, is one of the most touching scenes ever pre- sented in motion pictures. | ECRETST..

Every energy of those con- | corned in its manufacture obvious- Iy wag expended without reserve in the attempt to make a forceful, con- ¢ vincing drama.

SCIENTISTS CAN BUT GUESS No Absolute Proof Can Be Brought as to How Long.Man Has Existed on the Earth, Jt 18 'proved that man--true man— existed on this earth: jpany, wany | thoussnd years ago, How many ne one can . certainly say, but certalnly | longer than the period ge¢epted as a strict dogma by Bible Chrigtians with- ! in living memory (and 1’ afirmed by some of them). It is mot.proved, | but it is highly pmblble that there is | genetic connection between man as ! we know him and the earlier inferior types of which evidence remains. If a critic were to maintain that man as we know him rose snddenly from some other type not yet found (for the evidence is very fragmentary and slight), he would not be contradicting ascertained fact; on the contrary, he has on his side the anowmaly of fine skulls found fu apparently very early strata; all that department is guite unfixed. That man as we know him was a vile thing for eountless gen- erations and gradually rose to prac- tice the human virtues and intelli- gence s not proved at all. *There is not an atom of proof. Even the vague analogy from existing ‘savages falls. Some -savages are of onc character, some of another; all as old in descent as ourselves.

E. A. ROSS, University of Wisconsin. In a general way the flow to the cities is normal and incvitable. Cheap transportation provides the denizens of great cities with food at moderate prices. Hundreds of articles thai two generations ago were home wmade are now factory made and these factories are in cities. - Power-driven machinery on the, farm relesses a part of the rural population for other pur- _suits.” The state of affairs has stimulated the exodus . of the young' people from the hard work and penny- pmchmg of ithe farms to the pmiperm easy-going cities, ¢ The country has nat been keeping a fair share of ifs brighter boys and girle. It has been the young people with spirit and initiative who have responded to the call of the distant city. Had they stayed on the farm, this spirit of initiative would have shown iiself along rural lines. In certain older parts of the country which have been losing their young people to the West and the cities for two generations, there is a visible mioral decline. The roads are neglected so there is less.social inter- course and a'smaller turnout toschool, to'church and public events. School buildings and grounds have deteriorated. The church is in a rut or has even disappeared. Frivolity engrosses the young because no one organizes singing schools, literary societies or debating clubs. The next generation, having missed the benefits of these communal institutions, ehows itself coarse, sensual and jrresponsible. There is 2 marked decline in the standards of individual and family morality. This is an explana- tion of the “degeneracy” that one,| finds in certain rural parts of New Eng- land and middle states. The remedy is to make life on the farms moré attractive. There is " need of redirecting rural education, reinspiring the rural chureh, multi- plying socielies of recreative opportunities and dispelling the fplse glam- our of the distant city. The young people need to be shown that farming can be made to pay if one puts brains and energy to it.
