True enough, it was a vote of protest ~—a protest against the way legislation was being “dished” out to the masses. No one party seems to be able to satisfy all of the people. It never will. This nation is becoming to big, to be run by any 2ne one party. It seems to be ’?ugh time for all parties to have a word in" its - affairs, because all parties are deeply concerned. When we say all parties we mean all rational thinking men and women, be they Republicans, Democrats, Socialists or what nots. Party, lines are badly shattered right now. During the war and since, parties in power have failed to make good, because they have failed to make the most of the wonderful opportunities - presented to them. Now it is up to men, regardless of party affiliations—men and Women if you please, who appreciate the need of the country, and who will extend every effort to satisfy that need. Last election the people most empha- tically voiced their sentiments of dis- satisfaction. They murdered Republicans, Democrats, Socialists and Farm-Labor candidates on the alter to propitiate the gods, They considered not the party lines because all party lines looked ‘alike to the dissatisfied voter. What they sought for were men and women, whom they were willing to take a chance as being able to render a better service than the present office holders. Of course they do not know whether the ones they have chosen to serve them, will serve them better, but they were willing to take a chance. If, after a few years spent in service, the people find their servants inefficient unscrupulous and unfair, the masses will again “take the bull by the horns” and vote them out of office, whether they be Farm-Labor, Socialists, Democrats or Re- publicans. Regardless of who is elected to . _serve, that person must consider first of all ‘the welfare of all of the people. In this manner we will find leadership. { «dt wont be long before we will unearth some Moses, Lincoln or Llyod George to lead us out of the “wilderness,” if we keep on seeking for the right man. It takes organization and system to properly govern the nation, and the right kind of leadership to discipline such an organization. At times, in fact for many years, the Republican party had the right kind of a machine, and it was well man- aged, ‘but they surely overlooked a “bet” when they failed to deliver the ‘“goods” since*that machine was put into power two years ago. They have two years more to produce the “goods” and if they fail— well, if they fail, they must give up their right of leadership. The peopie may entirely abandon the idea of affiliating with either of the lead- ing parties and follow the indicator, which flashed..out such-significant figures Nov- ember-7th, and put a complete national ticket in. the field. %2 - PLAYING SAFE Some’ of ' these labor leaders who -are . conétantly:‘calling people out on frike, «~remind me quite a bit of little Bobby. Bobby, according to the story, persisted .In;driving nails into blocks and boards. He had just arrived at the play at carpenter stage. One morning Dad heard the familiar pounding and looking out he saw Bobby ‘banging away—his little sister Mary sit- ting beside him apparently holding on. “Haven’t I told you, Bobby, that you will smash your fingers if you drive nails?”’ the father asked. 3 “Yes, I know Dad, but ‘Mary’s holding the nail.”—Tom Dreier in Forbes Maga- L gine: PUBLISHED DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY BY THE E.

We live too close to the gituation to grasp what is back of it. The perspective of time may eventually show that Europe, right now is in the middle stages of the decay of its civilization. Will it pass like Rome, Babylon and the empire of Genghis Khan?

Thake realized a cash income of $3,652 from his 261 acre farme because he marketed his crops through pure-bred Shorthorns, Duroc hogs and poultry, while his neighbor, with 210 acres, and little livestock had a cash income of only $443. —t A Helpful Suggestion The cycler’s hat blew off and a passing countryman restored it to him, thus sav- ing him the trouble of getting off his ma- chine. “I really must get some stwing to keep this bally hat on,” remarked the cycler as he wheeled off without a word of thanks. The countryman had a better sug- gestion, “Get a nail, guv’nor,” he shouted. —Argonaut. —t The Word Wanted A man walked into a garage where his car was being repaired and was heard to reprimand the garage owner for telling him how to run his own car, sayipg “This is my car, and what I say goes.” A moment later a tired, greasy mechanic looked up from under the car and said: For goodness’ sake, say engine.”—London Opinion. 1 Doubtless some of our male readers will be able to sympathize with the poet Billy Wagstaff who sings: “I hate my woolen underwear, I'm mad enough to bawl.

As in previous efforts, young Keaton keeps the humor in “The Blacksmith” revolving at a high rate of speed. The picture has a plot in which Buster, anxious to win the favor of the fair young lady in the picture is forced to go through many acro- batic whimsicalities in order to over- come the antipathy the young lady has shown for him. Also showing William Russell in “The Roof Tree” a six-reel special feature, one o fthe best he has ever made. EIGHT THOUSAND FEET OF LAUGHTER TONIGHT | It is a very fitting title, “The Goat” which Buster Keaton has chosen for his latest Metro comedy which will be shown tonight only at the Elko thearte. In a continual up-roar the sober- faced comedian manages to be truly a continual uproar, the sombre-fac- ed comedian manages to be truly the goat for every sort of trouble that can happen—even in the movies. 1t is fast'and furious, with that sort ' of spontaneous humor which marks the Keaton smile reels as sure laugh-getters. As in his other two reel mirthquakes, Keaton has given “The ‘Goat” tmany mechanical novel- ties which keep patrons wondering what is goinig to happen next and ‘which . part of ‘the building or scen- ery will eventually prove to be some- thing entirely different from what it appears. Laughs and thrills run run ram- pant through ‘I Can Explain”, the new. Metro production featuring Gareth Hughes which is at the Elko tonight on the same program with Buster Keaton .in “The Goat”. Ed- gar’ Franklin’s 'popular story ‘“Stay Home,” from which the picture is adapted, makes an admirable photo- dramatic comedy. It is just the sort of vehicle for the display of Gareth Hughes” histrionic ability. In’ “I Cap, Explain” Mr. Hughes has the assistance of an admirable cast, including Grace Darmond, Bar- tine Burkett, Victor “Slim” Potel, Nelson McDowell, Herbert Hayes, Edward Wallock and Harry Loraine. “THE FAST MAIL” AT THE GRAND THEATRE THURSDAY Trade press reviewers, who wit- nessed the private presentation of the Fox super-production “The Fast Mail” at the Lyric theatre, New York City, were unanimous in their ap- preciation of the film and declared it to be “a melodrama of merit, which will find approval within the most discriminating circles of picture en- thusiasts.” 3 This much heralded picture will be the attraction at the Grand thea- tre beginning Thursday. Not one critic wrote adversely of the picture. Thrills abound,’ and the keynote of the photoplay is ‘“speed counts.” Under the direction of Pro. Gils- dort, 80:years experience. Fall tefm: mow open.
