Hill's Department Store Quality and Service ft ARCADE "THE PRIMAL LURE" TONJSHT. William S. Hart in Romance of the NorthwvHt Reviewed by Thomas C. Kennedy in Motography. "The Primal Lure" is a melodrama laid in the Northwest and dealing with a romance centering: about the rugged factor, or manager of the post, a spir ited Canadian girl and a smooth vil lain whose cowardice defeats his am bition to marry the girl for whose fa vor he has maliciously discredited the factor. Added to this and serving the purposes of melodramatic self-sacrifice, or the depiction of a willingness to suffer painful death on the part or the factor, there is an Undian in cursion following their unheeded de mand for the life of a white as an of fering to the Great Spirit because a plague has been visited upon them. William S. Hart makes his latest screen appearance as Angus McCon nell, the factor. Mr. Hart makes Mc Connell a virile, strong charactered woodsman, with a determination that brooks no interference. His is a praiseworthy character sketch, and, like the acting of Margery Wilson, is deserving of a story of more depth than this melodrama by Vingie E. Roe and J. G. Hawks. "The Primal Lure" provides good entertainment from the beginning, but this is at tributable to some striking outdoor scenes and the acting. The story tells of the factor's rc aolve to detect the person who has stolen his account book. Lois Le Moyne, the daughter of an old trap- per, has prepared a surprise for Mc- Connell, for whom she has great ad miration. One can only sympathize with her, therefore when the factor accuses her of the theft when she slips into his ofTice to place the em broidered mocasins in his desk. She bitterly resents this and is too indig nant to even plead with him. Mc Connell puts her in the lock-up and tells her she will remain there until she returns the book. A representative of the Hudson's Bay company visits the post and be cause he is struck by the girl's beauty takes matters into his own hands and releases, Lois. Then he has the factor discharged. McConnell does not leave, however, until he has administered a good beating to the cowardly Sylves-j ter. To protect the trappers the for mer manager returns when the In-1 dians threaten the post and his brav ery, coupled witn ueliDerateness, wins the girl's consent to marry him. 'Margery Wilson is an exceedingly good Lois. She gives the part much natural spirit and appeal. Robert Me Kin is the cowardly Richard Sylves ter and Jerome Storm is happily cast as Pierre Vornaisse. The production has true atmosphere and any number of benutiful scenes. This stirring romance of the North west will be at the Arcade today and tomorrow. Despondency.

In his Maine speeches Mr. Hughes made It pluln that lie was not attack ing labor or I he equity of the pro. posed Increase of wages for the rail road Dion. He was simply contending fur the all important principle of arbi tration as the right menus of settle ment of such questions. Speaking at different places In Maine Mr. Hughes dwelt upon this question, saying: "I deeply deplore, In the nnnie of labor, In tlio iiuinu of Justice, In the nnnie of American Ideals, the surron der of the Executive and of Congress to force. Instead of permitting reason to reign. "The measure to which I have allud ed was not, properly sppuklng, an eignt-nour measure. It was a wnge measure. It was a plain proposition for a change In the wage scale. I do not speak of the equity of that Thut is a mutter to be fairly considered. I wnnt what Is Just and right with re speet to wages. I am for the arbitra tion and tlio peaceful settlement of these Industrial controversies. We can settle everything In this country If we approach those matters with a fair and open mind and an examina (ion of the facts. "This pnrlli'iilnr measure shows on Its face that it was legislation In ad vance of the Investigation. Instead of investigation In ndvancc of legisla tion. It is said that there was In its favor the judgment of society. The Judgment of society In this country lias never beer, passed In favor of leg islation without knowledge of the equi ty and regardless of the facts of the case, 'lliere was no Judgment of so ciety In favor of the roads which were excepted from Its provisions. If there was n Judgment of society, why not ap ply the rule to electric or other kinds of roads or roads less than 100 miles in length? I say, awny with such pre tense! It was a surrender to force In stead of a clear, candid, faithful fram ed cxauilmition of the facts, and then action in accordance with American principles. "Autocracy represents force; tyran ny represents force. Democracy rep resents the rule of the common Judg ment after discussion, after an oppor tunity to know the facts." It All Depends. "If Hughes wins an Oregon town will get a new shingle mill employing fifty men," says the Olympla Recorder, "according to an announcement of the Individual who took nn option on Um bered land. If Wilson wins the option will bo allowed to lnpse.. That's the way with a thousand and one enter prises, all waiting to see which way the wind Mows. The moment it Is as sured that Charles K. Hughes is elect ed, Just natch the wheels of industry spin and listen to the hum of business." At Sherry's Today. Every day the newspapers, some where in the country, give accounts of lives being saved by the transfusion of blood; how relatives or friends of the injured step forward in emerg ency with the proffer of their life blood. "The Unattainable," a Blue bird Photoplay to be exhibited at the Sherry theatre, last showing today, gives what is believed to be the first authentic and exact illustration of the process of blood-transfusion ever en tering into a screen drama. PUBLIC OFFICER 8HOULD ! 8TAND LIKE A ROCK. "Government under pressure le not American government. Whenever pressure is applied to any publlo officer he ought to 4 stand like a rock and say: 'Here I stand until we eubstitute res- son for force. It is not an Ameri- can doctrine to legislate first and investigate afterward."' Mr. Hughes In His Speech at Port- land, Maine. r ,fr Our Want Ads bring results.
