The epic, from Ouida's pen is immor tal, and the story is essentially simple in its great dramatic punch, but Universal spared noth ing in the filming. Miss. Dean was directed by Tod Browning, her director in "Outside the Law," and supported by such famous artists as Jamee Kirk-; wood, a star in his own right; John! Davidson, Stuart Holmes, Ethel Grey Terry, W. II. Bain bridge and others. "Laughter holding both his sides!" ' That famous line is descrip tive of every audience that will see Harold Lloyd in "Dr. Jack." Every exhibitor should change the name of his. theatre to the "Laughter Theatre," during the run of "Dr. Jack." It's a scream trqm start to finish. And it's clean and wholesome with a charming love story. Harold Lloyd, as "Dr. Jack," holds the pulse of laughter of the world.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE Use of Pardoning Power Editor Statesman: You will very kindly let me .register my objections to the use of the par doning power of Acting Governor Ritner, on the recommendation of the prosecuting attorney, the judge and the parole board. It is possible that I might overrule my objections if I knew all of the facts v relative to there pardone. Xot knowing personally the men thus pardoned, I must necessarily judge by the newspaper reports of each case. Take for instance the pardon of Webb, the murder er. Should a murderer be turned 6n society? You say that he will not commit another murder. How do you know he won't? Have you any assurance except Webb's" own words that he will not com mit another such offense? You say that that is all anyone could give under the circumstances? I deny such is the case, or that a pardon should be granted upon the word of -a murderer. From all one can gather, Webb would o to exactly the same place should he die a natural death or be hung for the murder he com mitted. The life he led before the murder was much easier for him than the life he must now, of necessity, lead, and if he could not then of his own strength live it, without committing murder, how then can he live without tak ing the desperate chance of com mitting another such deed. X hare lots of faith in Judge Morrow, as a man and as a judge. Governor Ritner I do not know personally, but I am sure that he and the pardoning board are all good men, who- bend their efforts toward helping those who, In their esti mation, -are worthy. But, don't you realize that Webb could have gone out of that prison a new Today ;syXPAY'jlORNlXG. creature. In Christ Jesus-,-were heT worthy, and not as a murdered? Don't Ton Know flat if . . fXeep him clean snd cnrxl Than and then only, might he be freed j without the danger of bringing! reproach npon the men who are ! resiousible for, his freedom. No nan is worthy to be pardoned while in the same spirit that, prompted the transgression of the Divine laws. For murder is a sin that cannot be forgiven by the powers of this world, unless it be in conjunction with God Al mighty, Will E. Purdy. Salem, Dec. 22. 1922.
