Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- 'ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- tae class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 THE WOMAN'S POLITICAL CLUB Women's organizations for the study of political affairs, qualifi- cations of candidates, and meth- ods of campaign procedure are growing in number and in effec- tive work. But their chief value of activity, but in the character lies not in the thoroughness with which they work out a program of the work that they do. They must, if they are to stand for any- thing good in the community in which they operate, serve to bring up the character of the candi- dates, impress upon men who are seeking office, the necessity to bring to the voters some claim which can be substantiated for a capacity to perform the work of the position which they would hold. It can be of no use what- ever to add to the political or- ganization that already exists, it can be of no value to the country to have women's clubs of politi- cal origin and purpose, unless there is within them a new ele- ment of good citizenship, an ap- preciation impressed upon candi- dates that they must offer more than a consistent consideration of the party welfare. It is unfair to the great body of new voters to expect them to make over the nature of politics. It is unfair to them to expect them to inject into the code which has always guided men in the con- duct of public affairs the ele- ments of righteousness and hon- esty that men have never consid- ered essential. Women will not make over the political system of the country. Women will not purify politics, nor be able to ef- fect a regeneration of political life. But they have their oppor- tunity to stand for something bettering in its nature, by refus- ing to countenance patent dishon- esty which is only slightly dis- guised by the badge of the party. Lillian Russell is a woman of many talents. She has enjoyed during her life a succession of experiences that come to few. From being a favorite on the stage, an authority on the sub- ject of feminine beauty, advisor to inquiring girlhood, to advisor to the government of a country like the United States of America on a question of such importance as the limitation of immigration and how that difficult policy may be developed and carried through, shows a wide range of talent which it is interesting to contem- plate. It is easy to see how the eyes of the half starved people of those bankrupt nations in cen- tral and southern Europe look towards America, a land "flow- ing with milk and honey" and a refuge from all the distress which has been their portion since the war turned their world topsy turvey. How to exclude those who seek that refuge without in- justice is a problem that may well puzzle the intellects of those who constitute the govern- ment of the nation. But. it doesnt daunt Lillian Russell, who looks at the question from the "standpoint of the American," without the hampering consider- ation of doing justice to the op- pressed of the rest of the world WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 who would throw in their lot with ours. Most problems are easy if one leaves out of consid- eration the more difficult factors and is unconcerned with the cor- rectness of the answer which is finally arrived at. dtd By the death of ex-empgror Charles the monarchist move- ment in Austria and Hungary should certainly have received the death blow. Anything that may develop now can be nothing more than a sentimental flourish, a spasm that need cause no alarm in republican circles. It is usual- ly easy to find a victim when there is a desire to establish a new monarchy, but not when there is no legitimate hope of success, as there is none in the once dual monarchy. Charles had sufficient following to make himself think he might possibly succeed in an effort to regain the throne. Nobody else can possibly find such material for self-decep- tion as to encourage him to offer himself as a sacrifice.

La Salle Street Franklin 6363 Griffith to put upon the screens of the country a dramatization of H. G. Wells' Outline of History. A knowledge of history is rec- ognized as the essential basis of a proper education. If the masses of the American people, the millions whose habit it is to sit in the darkened hall, watching the silent drama unfold on the screen, are to be made familiar with the whole history of the world from its beginning unto the present time, there will be' laid the foundation for an edu- cated people upon which future building should be fairly easy. Gratification with the prospect of the wholesale initiation of the general public into an acquain- tance with the great personages and events that have made the world what it is today is some- what tempered, however, when one realizes what has been done to the stories, classic in their day, when they were "adapted" to the screen. leave only the names of the char-. acters and a few of the climactic events by which the work is to be recognized are the common lot. Will such liberties be taken with the story of human achievement in the "Outline of History" or will the great producer be content to tell the story as Mr. Wells unfolds it, sticking fairly near to the truth, conquering the instinct to make a good story out of an assortment of facts by the in- Changes in plot which {jection of a few bits of fiction. $450 Conover, - $150 828 DAVIS STREET $400 Bush & Gerts - $125 $425 Vose & Son - $115 $395 Kimball - $125 $350 Girdill 3 Day May Sale on Used Pianos BIG BARGAINS MUST CLOSE OUT OUR OVERSTOCK OF TRADE-INS $395 Stark - $155 - $85 $375 Reed & Son - $90 $375 Story & Clark - $55 $500 Steinway - $185 $400 Bauer - $75.
