Three Honest Men.
The Good Things Are
True.
No Calamity Threatens.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
_.... -
As far as campaigning goes, the
fight is over. Ten per cent of the
people will devote part of Sunday
to thinking about the campaign and
what it means.
Ninety per cent will feel, as
usual, that the government is some
body else’s business, and wait with
mild curiosity to hear the result, as
they wait for news of a basball
game or boxing.
For anybody knowing how to use
them, the hours of the campaign
that could be made most valuable,
still remain.
A million votes could be changed
by the right thing said at the last
moment on Monday.
__
,* The average American, there are
111,000,000 such, realizes with sat
isfaction that good things said
about candidates are true in the
main, and evil things sijid of them
are not true.
President Coolidge is sufficiently
1 described by Henry Ford in a mes
sage to this column. “He is an
“honest, able man.” The people
like him because he stays in Wash
ington, attending to his work and
talking little. Beyond the com
plaint that he does not talk enough
* to suit them, hi^ opponents have
found nothing to say against him.
The fact, which can be stated
without any partisan bias, since all
candidates and politicians know it
well, is that neither Davis nor La
Follette can be elected on Tuesday.
Either Coolidge will be elected or
the election will be thrown into
congress. Voters between now and
Tuesday will make up their minds
about having the choice of presi
dent decided by congressmen or by
the people. Men whose judgment
or politics is unusually sound pre
dict the election of Coolidge by a
wide margin.
Senator La Follette dreads im
perialism. “World-wide exploiters
are undermining the nation,” says
he.
But this nation needs “world- j
wide exploiters,” men with ability I
to reach out for business all around
J the world.
Business is no longer done on a
local scale. The whole world is the
business man's “oyster.” It is his
business to open it.
Europe is organizing business on
a gigantic national scale. This
country cannot meet with old-fash
ioned methods the modern Euro
pean scheme in which France, Ger
many and Belgium plan an inter
national combination of their steel
and iron business.
Business must be on a bigger
scale than eveY. It is the business
* of the people to control business,
no matter how big It may become,
without hampering business genius,
in the field of international compe-!
tition.
The straw vote and the gam
bling odds both agree that Coolidge
will be elected. Odds yesterday
afternoon were 18 to 1 against La!
Follette, to 1 on Coolidge, and!
“even” money that Coolidge will
carry New York by 650,000.
The practical politicians believe
that Governor Smith, democratic j
candidate for governor, will over- >
come Coolidge’s lead, and be elected j
with a quarter of a million votes!
i to spare.
* Smith ran a million votes ahead
of his ticket in 1920.
No calamity threatens the coun
try. Coolidge, Davis and La Fol
lette are all three honest, sincere
men. And if they were not so,
apart from getting this country
mixed up in the league of nations,
none of them could do this nation
any serious harm.
Public opinion, fortunately, nnd
the established methods of govern
ment are too powerful for any in
dividual innovator.
The British labor party has re
signed, and Baldwin will come back
as prime minister, to organize a
new government for the tory party.
The liberal party for the time being
is dead, and labor ceases to rule.
^ Return to conservative tory gov
ernment is welcomed by British
finance.
Stocks and bonds and the value
of the English sovereign move up
as the tories come back. Conser
vatism and money are twins.

A WIFE’S CONFESSIONAL]
Adcle Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Copyright. 1924. by Newspaper Feature Service. Inc.
k._- - - ■ — ■ —— ‘
An Extraordinary Encounter on the
Reach.
As I drove away from the butcher
shop In Bayview, where I so unex
pectedly had encountered Bess Dean,
my thoughts were busy with the sur
prising welcome news she had given
me of the approaching visit of Alice
Holcombe Stockbridge.
That Bess would have given much
to have suppressed the news and
kept me ignorance of Alice's visit I
knew-, and the very fact that she
had felt impelled to tell me of It
assured me that Alice's friendship
for me was as strong as ever. If
Bess could hnve made mischief be
tween us, she would have welcomed,
with open arms, the opportunity to
do so, and my heart warmed at this
indubitable proof of my old friend’s
affection.
I’ntii my encounter with Bess 1
had not realized how deep had gone
the hurt dealt me by Alice Stock
bridge's failure to answer the letter
which I supposed had been mailed
to her long ago, and which Bess
Dean had so conveniently ‘‘forgot
ten" to send her. At first I had ex
cused Alice's delay on every con
ceivable ground I could imagine
and then there gradally had come
to mo the conviction that my friend’s
new happiness had made her forget
ful of all other claims.
The fact that she owed that hap
piness In great part to me did not
alleviate the hurt any. It was no
salve for the wound to believe Alice
Stockbridge guilty of Ingratitude, and
the loyalty of my friendship would
not admit her dereliction until after a
second letter, which I now realized
had also been given to Bess Dean
to mail, had brought me no reply.
Naturally, I had resolved then
never to write again, and my own
life since then had been so crowded
with incident that Alice Holcombe
Stockbridge had been pushed far
back among my memories.
Now she had been restored to my
lifr, because Bess Dean did not dare
risk facing Alice, the one person in
the world whose opinion she valued,
with a revelation of her treachery
or of the wide gulf that now lay be
tween her life and mine.
Madge’s Memories!
There was not much pleasure, how
ever In my anticipation of her visit,
because I knew that most of my
meetings with her would he neces
sarily shared with Bess Dean. But
I promised myself that some time
during her stay I would have Alice
to myself for a whole day. I wanted
to hear from her own lips that it was
a lasting and perfect happiness
which had sprung from the sordid
tragedy of Kenneth Stockbridge's un
fortunate marriage and his first
wife's suicide, as might a rare flower
from a muck heap.
Junior's voice brought me back
from that dreadful time when Ken
neth Stockbridge—blameless, long suf
fering—had been tried for the murder
of the wife whom he had cherished
all the more faithfully because he
could not love her. For a second or
two I could not distinguish what
Junior was saying, so strong were
the memories of those awful days.
Then the cobwebs were brushed
away, and with a rush of relief I
came back to the happy present.
"I'm just awful hungry, mama!"
he said plaintively. "When are we
going to eat?"
"It won't be long now, Junior," I
promised, waking to the realization
that it was indeed high time for me
to find a place for the beach picnic
I had promised them. "But you know
there’s a lot of work to he done first.
I think each of you had better eat
a sandwich and an apple as we drive
along. Then we can take all the
time w-e want for our dinner."
“I.er I how Carry!"
With alacrity Katie opened the
motor kit and distributed apples and
sandwiches. I even managed to rat
my portion as I drove, and in a few
minutes I turned down a winding
road which I knew led to the beach
of one of the bays that are the charm
of Long Island, and which I was
quite sure would be deserted at this
season of the year.
My anticipations were realized. We
were the only persons on the beach
of the delightful curving cove, when,
after bringing the car as far as we
dared Into the i&id, we took our
bundles and scrambled down through
the trees and bushes which shut the
bay from the higher land.
I soon found an ideal place to build
our impromptu fireplace against a
miniature declivity, And, putting
down the bundles. I gave the order:
"Fagots and stones, as many as
you can get! Marion, you and Katie
go down that way, and Junior will
come with me. Go to the farthest
point you wish to make first and
work back. But remember, do not go
so far that wo cannot hear each
other.”
Katie and Marion ran away, laugh
ing—the older woman as wild with glee
as the young girl.
X walked more sedately in the op
posite direction, but the autumn air
affected me almost as a draft o£
heady wine might have done, and in
no time Junior and I were toiling
feverishly to make our pile of stones
and fagots from the woods a formid
able one.
"There, Junior,” I said at last, "I
think we can begin to cary the things
bark now.”
“Missee no carry.” a voice said
surprisingly from behind me. "Lee
Chow carry.”
X spun around, startled, terrified to
confront, a Chinese I never had
seen before.

Tom Brown, the internationally

his saxophone sextette carries away
the bulk of the applause at the

this season.
Myers and Hnnneford, the "Arkan

Elections Will
Be Followed by
Relief in Trade
Opinion as to Result Seems to
Have Crystallized, However,
and General View
Is Optimistic.
By RICHARD SPILLANE.
I niversnl Service Financial Editor.
New York, Nov. 2.—There will be
a feeling of relief in the business
world with the elections over. They
are a plague to industry. Meanwhile
opinion appears to have crystallized
as to the result and It Is viewed op
tlmiatlcally.
Aside from politics, conditions vary,
hut generally there Is improvement.
The steel industry is slowly making
headway; the advance in the price of
pig iron is significant. In the auto
mobile field there is a seasonal con
traction. The copper people seem to
be on the highway to better times.
Demand has increased greatly. Price
advances have been persistent and
from present indications the transla
tion from poverty to plenty will be
remarkable even in this industry not
ed for kaleidoscopic changes.
Textile people are making a little
headway but only a little.
The rubber people, like those of
copper, have been lifted to the seats
of the favored. As in the instance of
copper, demand now is strong after a
long period of over-supply.
It appears as if the oil business is
nearly clear of its embarrassments.
Advances in gasoline prices are not
infrequent and reports of reduced pro
duction would suggest more advances.
This may be viewed favorably by peo
ple plagued by overproduction but the
significance of the decline and grad
ual exhaustion of one of the great
natural resources of the nation is not
appreciated.
News from the agricultural belt
continues very cheerful. Why not?
Grain prices remain high. That has
benefited those late In marketing
their crop. Cotton, while down from
its early heights, still Is at a remun
erative price.
Money continues cheap.
Transportation is surprisingly good.
That Is indicative of good trade. A
minor but significant Illustration of
the great changes for the better with
the railroads is furnished by the
Maine Central railroad In declaring a
dividend of five per cent, the first
since 1320 on its preferred stock.

At the Rialto.
Petit snct charming Alla Nazimova Is
back again after a two year's ab
sence from the screen, this time ap
pearing with the unforgettable Mil
ton Sills in "Madonna of the Streets,”
a screen adaptation of W. B. Max
well’s "The Ragged Messenger.”
The plot deals with n clergyman
who makes the discovery that man is
pretty inhuman to man after all. He
resigns from his pulpit and starts a
mission in the Llinehouse district of
London, but In trying to be human
to everyone, he overlooks the most
important one, his wife. This woman
(Nazimova) previous to her marriage
to the clergyman (Sills) had been the
mistress of a master of millions and
when he died, he left his fortune to
the clergyman. Determined to get
her share of the fortune, she posed
as an Innocent and tricks him into
marriage.
Tho clergyman’s inhumanity to his
wife drives her into the streets
even after she has confessed a decided
change of heart toward him. It is
not until after he has discovered
that his millions have caused him to
lose his grip on the souls he has been
trying to save, that they are united
again.
Father Flanagan's boys present
the stage offering for the week and
deserve much credit for their work.
-At the Sun.
A gallery' of favorites in a rousing
good story might well describe the
photoplay at the Sun for the first of
this week. Reginald Barker who di
rected the production has filmed an
entertaining story, but rarely do we
see such a collection of stars in one
picture. Mae Busch, Norma Shearer,
James Kirkwood, Vera Reynolds.
Robert Frazer, Adolphe Menjou,
George Fawcett, Winifred Bryson,
Robert Agnew and Ruth Stonehouse.
all help to provide the entertainment
the film offers.
The plot deals with Grace Durland,
daughter of a family' in comfortable
circumstances and brought up in
strict ideas of convention, who has to
give' up college and work in a depart
ment store when her father loses his
money. Starved for recreation she
goes to a house party where she
meets Ward Trenton. They fall irt
love with each other. However, he is
married and in order to enjoy their
love, Grace must ignore the conven
tions. From then on the story moves
rapidly and their conflict between
love and duty implicates a number of
people in the effort to change old
morals for new.
At the Strand.
“The Fast Set," Is the title of the
screen version of Frederick Eonsdale'a
New York stage success, "Spring
Cleaning,” which is showing at the
Strand for the week. William de
Mille, with the aid of Clara Beranger.
haa taken the theme and transplanted
it to the screen in able manner.
The film version we are inclined to
believe, however, will not make the
hit on the screen that it did on the
stage. The most enjoyable feature
of ttie production Is the acting,
which almost approaches perfection.
Betty' Compson puts all of her vi
vacious personality Into .the role of
the young wife who accepts atten
tions from other men, when they are
not forthcoming from her husband.
Adolphe Menjou, Elliott Dexter and
Zazu Pitts are equally as appealing In
their respective contributions. The
story concerns Richard Sones, au
thor, who is so interested in writing
of marriage problems that he fails to
recognize his own.
The subtitles are crisp and to the
point and contain not a little subtle
humor. The film provides good en
tertainment.
At the Moon.
T’sually in a "western picture." the
human note is lin king due to the di
for s int^ra si in producing thrill*.
There are plenty of thrills in Harry
Carey's new picture, "Tiger Thom
son," at the Moon theater this week,
but It also contains a human appeal.
It is a life tale of the real west. Its
people are real. Of course there is a
romance, which necessarily must In
troduce thrills, but in this case they
are more or less logical. Hunt
Stromerg, who directed the picture,
has upset the established order of
things. The ranch owner, for in
stance, is In this case a woman (Mar
guerite Clayton), who makes a dis
tinctive appeal In this unusual story,
which starts with a train robbery and
ends In a fistic battle. To those who
like western pictures the film will
prove intensely interesting.
