10 WHY WOULD WOMEN VOTE? Copyright, 1914, by Ihe Star Company >, For thoughtful ipeople who wonder "why women want tthe vote in England so badly, the follow ing statistics may prove of Interest. They arc authentic and are worth pon dering over. In Eng land 70,000 people die every year from tuberculosis and 300,000 suffer from it. This terrible dis ease is caused by a lack of conveniences and' decencies of life. Fresh air and sanitary surround ings are neded. Tenants, however, can have no say aa to Tiow the shelters In which thoy exist shall be ordered or policed. England has an area of 77,000,000 Hcres and a population of 43,000,000. jVTore than one-half the land is owned hy 2,500 persons. Less than 10,000 people own two-thirds of the total land of Scotland, Ireland and England. There are 80,000,000 people that have not any land at all, and consequently not any home of their own. The aver age amount of land owned by the Brit ish peer Is 15,000 acres. There is one peer who owns over a million acres. The average land owned by the British cottager is one-quarter of an acre. The phrase "bless our native land," in the British national anthem. Is rather meaningless to all but a few housand British subjects. • A nourishing, satisfying strengthening dish that tempts the palate and gives stomach comfort after the digestive organs have wrestled with high-proteid foods — SHREDDED WHEAT and Strawberries Nothing so delicious, nothing sc easily di gested, nothing so easy to prepare.

MONTGOMERY Both Phones Third and Chestnut Streets THURSDAY EVENING, By ELLA WHEELER WILGOX The annual income of Great Bri talnfl from land and rent, Is about $43,000,000 a week. About one-hair of this goes to 5,000,000 people whose annual income ranges from SBOO up. There aro 10,000,000 that are so poor that they cannot provide the neces saries of life. The average wage of these is $5 a week. The average wage of the 5,000,000 industrial women Is $1.75 a week. The paupers of Eng land, if lined up four abreast, would make a line four miles long. Egypt, Persia, Babylonia, Greece and Rome were founded upon slavery, and slavery, corrupted and imbeciled, finally overthrew them. History em phasizes this instruction in the down fall of Egypt, when 2 per cent, of its people owned 97 per cent, of its wealth. In Persia, when 1 per cent, of its Inhabitants owned all the land; In Babylonia, when Si per cent, of its citi zens controlled all that was produced; in Greece and Rome, when 1,800 per sons owned, sufficiently well, to force service and tribute from the then known world. Of the 100,000,000 people in the United States 80,000,000 are without lands or homes of their own. This, more than any other state ment that can be made, shows the failure of the United States as a gov ernment of the people for the people; for it was to get lands and homes of their own that the colonists, that founded the Republic, left Great Bri tain. This was their ideal. They had no other. Professor Charles J. Bushnell,. In a lecture at Washington, D. C., August, 1907, said: "The control of the nation's wealth and, through It, of the nation itself, is last centering into the hands of a few. It is said that the control of one twelfth of the nation's wealth is rep resented at the meeting of the twenty four directors of the United States Steel Corporation alone, and that th* all-important, railway system of the country are controlled by just six men, with only one supremely dominant." On the other hand, 10,000,000, or one-tenth, of the people of the country arc in constant poverty, while 4,000,- 000 are paupers. "Under the pressure of these ab normal conditions, drinking, smoking, murder, suicide, insanity, robbery, graft and social vice are increasing faster than the population, causing financial loss that more than counter balances our annual national gain of wealth. "The modern trust is the response under individualistic conditions to the inevitable demand for a more unified and economical business organiza tion." A student of the stars, in casting the horoscope of Vincent Astor and his bride-to-be, mentioned an indus trial and social revolution in 1917. After reading: the figures quoted above, this threatened revolution does not seem an improbable occurrence. Meantime constructive efforts at better conditions are being made by a society in Cincinnati, Ohio. The more people think about these things, the better for all of us. The day is not far off when every one will be obliged to thing seriously of our social conditions. Better begin now.

"WAY DOWN EAST" Typical of New England rugged honesty, simple traits and charity, "Way Down East*' comes to the Ma jestic Saturday afternoon and even ing. For nineteen years this famous play that arouses memories of child hood, of clean, wholesome living, has been before the public., A play that touches the heart and emphasizes the little virtues that make all humanity better is bound to live and be always interesting. As familiar to the ma jority of theatergoers as a household word, for this reason no description is necessary. All that needs to be said is, that there is no purer, sweeter or more wholesome play in existence, none of which holds the mirror up to nature more truly and none which has more real inspiration in its every line and feature than this famous ru ral play.—Advertisement. BEAUTIES DELIGHT CROWDS Lasky's "Beauties" continue to de light the throngs at the Orpheum.

When one con siders some of the splendid attractions 1 that Mr. Lasky sent to Harrisburg in 'the past, it seems that he has been constantly improving, each feature presented seemed to outshine its predecessor. This also holds good in his splendid production "The Beau ties," which is widely different from the others, but as good as the best. Wouldn't it be hard to imagine any thing more novel or more cleverly exe cuted than the song of the different nations, in which a choice beauty rep resenting a type of her native land appears in the scene to pose as the artist's model?

Did you ever see a tragedy that turned out In the end as a genuine comedy? True, it takes a master hand to arrange and write such a play without giving offense—to produce the j desired effect, but it was the trained hand of the expert and artist that pro | duced, wrote and acted the present I play, "The Romance of An Actor." i Edwin August, author, director and | leading man, has jiven up a story | that holds one as in a vise—he paints a picture, true to life and human, of an actor-author who suffers much for an ideal, who meets tragedy. He brings the tears to the eye of the spectator, only to wind his play up with a climax that is deliciously funny. A melodramatic masterpiece of the north woods by the criterion Theater Film Company entitled "The Trap" in three reels will also be shown along with a Nestor comedy, "Such a Vil lain," featuring Lee Moran, Victoria Flora and Beaturice Van, showing ends to which the power of hypno tism may be put when exercised by an unscrupulous villain. —Advertisement.
