THE NO GOOD GUI "The genuine Pally Ko-fiood Ouv'1 abounds laughs from start to finish, and it is not often that a livc-ree feature contains as much continuous fun. There is hardly n dull moment mid the rapid pace in which one com leal incident follows another liances the enjoyment, it is a com lunation of ntlributes that make: this picture so thoroughly entertain ing, chiefly being the -ability of the. star, William Collier, the situations and the illuminated subtitles. Mr. Collier's easy manner in get ting his laughs is effective. It may be Ike broadest of comedy, but that fact does not keep it from being ab solutely legitimate. In scenes too numerous to mention he is excruciat ingly funny and they can he consid ered amusing to the highest degree. Several of these stand out-from the others as they are a shade more hu morous, among which are the incident in the court and the scene where Jimmy Coghlnn's valet puts him to bed in a rather intoxicated condition. Some business with the cigar is ex tremely clever. It would make no difference if the story of '-The X,-.-0ood Guy'' was not interesting, ns Collier could carry the piece to success, but it is ex tremely good, nevertheless. It may not be entirely new in theme, hut is of the type suited to the talents of the comedian. Jiuiniv (.oghlun is no good, npd his escapades lead him into all manner of troubles, which finally wind nn in n police court, lie is released from the jail through th effort of his politician uncle, nnd on his freedom he starts n detective agency. . The supposed victims of a bomb plot come to him to find the criminals and in the chase he joins the gang of thugs. The end is n sur- price when he catches the man higher up. - The subtitles arc illuminated with cartoons that arc apropos of th snappy and amusing sentences and they add to the amusement.

The ownership of American -railroads Is concentrated In the bands of a small number of enormously wealthy In dividuals and corporations. 'More than 40 per cent of railroad stork Is owned by the 20 largest stockholders on each at the roads. These figures are taken from the records of the Interstate , commerce commission for the present year, and are not subject to question. The 169 railroads with revenues of more than $100,000 on .lime ail, 1915, had outstanding 83,41X,Tn shares of stock. Of this, the 20 largest stockholders on each road owned 35,045,10:,. shares, or 43 per cent ot the tootal. These roads reported 53(1, SS4 stockholders, but their detailed re ports show that less than 3000 in dividuals and corporations, who con stituted the 20 largest stockholders on the various roadB, owned more than 40 per cent ot the stock, and theroforc, were In a position ot abso lute control. AH authorities agree that the ownership of more than 20 per cent of a railroad's stock gives control. A preliminary examination indi cates that the list ot 20 largest stock holders of the various roads actually represents less than 2000 different Individuals and corporations. For example, the Central Trust Co., of 'New York appears In connection with 13 roads, the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., as the principal owner of 14, and various individuals are repeated from two to a dozen times. These are the interests standing In the way ot settlement . of the threatened railroad strike. The rail road presidents and managers, who are in Washington, are Bimply their messenger boys. They are in the limelight; but back In the shadows are the representatives of the great financial interests, the real owners of the railroads. If the' "messenger boy managers" do not bring President Wilson to the right answer to his proposal for the settlement of the dispute, his next move, It Is understood, will Do to summon to the White House the real owners of the railroads Morgan, Gould, Vanderbilt, Baker, Schiff, Huntington, Hill, Rockefeller and the other great individual holders aid banking representatives. The meeting will be the greatest event since the civil war. The real owners ot America will be brought face to face with the power of the people, by whose sufferance alone they continue to exercise tholr sov ereignty. - In tomorrow's article, I will show the different roads the concentra tion ot ownership, and later, I will show who the actunl owners ure and how much they own.

England bus obtained a firm bold on the revoliitionarv situation iu India, and although the flames of revolt have spread from Calcutta to Af ghanistan and in the regions to the south, the scditisnists have no chance to. overthrow the government, un cording lo American tourists return ing hero recently from Asia. Riot ers: huve killed thousands of native soldiers, friendly Hindus nnd ninny lirilish, and in turn have been exc culed in scores by the F.nglish gov ernment in payment for their crimes Blood tins been drawn bv revolu tionists in the Punjab country to tin1 northwest, there have been fights on tho Itnjputaiia desert, as far west as the Sind country, nnd as far cast as Calcutta, rioters have started trouble and outbreaks have even occurred far to the south, in Humility mid on the island of Ceylon. British soldiers stand guard at all passes of the Sumeilan mountains to keep tho revolutionary Mohammed ans of Alghnnistan lrom pressing down into India and spreading their doctrines of revolt. The British or dered the armed native Sikh troops out of India within two weeks niter the Kuropeun war started, to clear the country of armed natives. Hindus nre not allowed to possess firearms nnd tourist, carrying gnus into ,tho conn try must agree not to sell them to Hindus. The British nre ntleinnling to let Hindu Buddhists fight the Molinm mcdans, thus letting tho revolutionist fight things out among themselves. Hints nnd uprisings against Brit ish rule have occurred in India for years past, the tourists say, but never so frequently as since the be ginning of the European war. The natives riot because they do not like the British mode of governing India the tourists say. "England governs India for F.nglund and not for In din," is said to bo native belief. The riots usually tako the form of attacks on nutivo inline by the fight ing Hindus. Often the fighters nt tack villages friendly to the British and kill inaiiv of the peaceful natives who spend their time tilling the soil instead of fighting. llecentlv a shipload of natives sent CHICAGO, Aug. 29.
