GREAT CROWDS
AT THE WIG
Big Houses Greet Each
Presentation of Wonder
Film, "The Kaiser."
The Wigwam theater was packed at
its presentation yesterday of the won
der picture of the year, 'The Kaiser,
or the Beast of Berlin." Only the
early shows were the ones at which
there were seats to spare. If you
have not seen this production, which
is a national sensation, come today
and come early. Do not get crowded
out at night or in the late afternoon.
Aside from its timeliness, "The Kai
ser" is a picture which is filled with
information and court secrets. The
most intimate things in this monster's
life are depicted and told to most of
the spectators for the first time. His
tainted blood is revealed after the in
cident where he is knocked cold by a
young- army captain when the court
physician remarks that the blow
would have rendered him a raving
mad man had it been four inches
higher. A note then tells you that he
has a cancerous abcess In his left ear.
His withered left arm, another result
of his blood taint, is graphically
shown, and his peculiarities, such as
his mania for women with pretty
hands, are also brought to light.
There is a pretty romance coupled
with the horrors of Belgium's devas
tation and there are thrilling scenes
relative to the awful invasion. The
finale, with the anticipated punish'
ment of the kaiser when this terrible
war is over, rouses the spectators to
cheers and the memorable interview
of Gerard with the kaiser brings
cheers.
Have you bought your thrift stamps
and your third Liberty loan? If not,
you will, after you see "The Kaiser.
Again we plead, come early if you do j
not want to take a chance in being
disappointed in obtaining admittance.

band. It will play both afternoon
and evening, rendering a different
program at each performance. In
the evening, the band will be ac
companied by grand opera artists
in song. This is the band that
opened and closed the San Fran
cisco exposition.
Wednesday morning, Supt. Guy
at Bingham will lecture at 10
oclock on The Making of the
Fabric: or, A Duty of Democracy
to Its Boys and Girls."
"One of the needs of the hour is for
Christian women," said judge George
D. Alden, speaking on The Needs of
the Hour" at Chautauqua Monday
night. "What would this nation be
without women? It would be a stag
nation. What a change has come over
the women. The woman of SO years
ago wouldn't recognise her sister of
today. Eve might recognize her. One
of the great needs for women is to
turn from degeneracy in dress to de
cency in attire."
Judge Alden's lecture was preceded
by a concert by Misses Mildred Mor
rison and Alice G. Smith. Miss Smith's

shows a finished technic. She gave a
song or two, furnishing her own ac
companiment, and with Miss Morrison,
sang several very effective duets.
Miss Morrison is the reader of the
duo, and her work was given with a
charming animation. Her child im
personations were particularly well
received. Her song numbers were
given with much feeling, and brought
sympathetic response from her audi
ence. Between the afternoon and eve

Judge Alden was introd jced by Supt.
Guy M. Bingham as a lineal descend
ant of John Alden. but the Judge,
when he took the floor, declared that
he wouldn't change places with any
of his ancestors. "Just think." he
said, "John Alden never was in Texas.
I don't go much on this family tree

I've seen too many of them that need

he said, "I would recommend to con

The time for discussion about the war
has passed. No matter what was your
opinion or mine about the prelim

so. and we're going to win."

Judge Alden took up his subject
under the heads of the fonr main re
lationships of life, which, he said,
were all Interrelated. Commercial, po
litical, domestic and religious. History
had always been his favorite subject,
he said, and no one could study his
tory with open eyes and not see that
every nation that had ' turned from
God to gold had gone down. He said
that, as he had never been in El Paso
before, he could not talk about the
people here, but he was going to talk
about some people he knew very well
in Maine. New Hampshire and Ver
mont. AH through his discussion,
he produced a wave of amuse

Highlights From Chautauqua
Speech By Judge George D. Alden
Woman, Her Sphere
And Her Influence
One of the greatest needs of
the hour is for our women to
return from a degeneracy in
dress to a decency In attire.
Give oh n girl, sweet, modest
and true.
Dress her In skirts the sun
enn't shine through.
I voted for woman suffrage,
not because I favor it, but be
cause I believe in five years
after woman gets the bal'M.
there will not be a itoiuwd
liquor dealer from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
Don't make a wife a wash
ing machine and a sewing ma
chine. If I was such a wife.
I'd add one more mechanical
accomplishment to my list and
become a threshing machine.
The Church and Religion;
Faults and Necessities
One of the needs of the hour
Is less theology and more
Christianity.
If you want to hear a man
pray, scare him. We are
cowards: when we are afraid,
we call to God.
The greatest need of the
hour is that we return to the
active worship and the active
lol lowing of the God of our
fathers.
Many a Methodist's trousers
bag at the knees from praying
and wear out in the seat from
backsliding.
We have too many men who
preach hell on Sundays and
raise it the rest of the week.
I know deacons who water
their milk, who, if I was their
preacher, I would ot trust to
pass the contribution box un
less it had a cash register at
tached. We need performing Chris
tians as well as professing
Christiana
Massachusetts has the most
rigid bar examination in the
union and I studied three times
as hard to convince myself
that there is no God and no
Christ, as I studied to become
a lawyer, but I failed. I suc
ceeded only in convincing my
self that there Is a fled and a
Christ. After all my learning,
a little $1200 a year Episco
palian minister knocked me
out in one evening's argument.
The Child Question
And Rooteveh's Ideas
I don't agree with Mr. Roose
velt much more than his
daughter. Alice. I dont think
a man should attempt to rear a
larger family than he can care
for and educate right- There
is too much prosperity among
the rich and too much poster
ity among the poor In this
country.
One of our tro-aMes is that
we bring our ciaQdren up ma
der new tasblouM affluence
instead of the old fashioned
influence.
Conscription Wdl
Make Us Gentlemen
I'd like to see conscription
of every man from 21 to M,
each put where he would do
the most good.
They conscript your boy and
mine when he reaches the age
of 21, but he is not a eon
script. He is an American sol
dier, the hero of the 20th cen
tury. One of the greatest needs
of the hour is respect of tho
young for the old. Universal
military training is going to
help in this. We are going to
become through military train
ing, a nation of gentlemen.

from Gilbert and Sullivan's opera.
"Iolanthe." The title of the sons was
"Said I To Myself. Said I." and to
prove he had a right to court the
muse oC poesy. Judge Alden Illumin
ated his speech with occasional verses
of his own set in the same form.

supposed to have profited in the stock

Dot the fact that thousands of people
over the United States believed It to
be true, proved that, put In a similar
uiiiun. mey wouia nave aone just

is typical of the others:
"If you'd happened to know what
papalnlaw wrote '

In that highly commendable peace
seeking note:
If you'd gotten a hint In that now
famous 'leak.'
Wouldn't you down to Wall street
have taken a sneak
And hit those war babies a crack on
the beak?
Said I to myself, said I."
Turns From Atheism,
Xp to my young maturity," said
Judge Allen, "I was an atheist of the
atheists: a sneerer and scoffer at the
fable God and the fiction Christ. There
came to my notice a young divinity

20th Century Divorce
And Family Trees
One of the greatest needs of
the hour is to teach our boys
how to select wives One of
the dangers of the country Is
the miseaated marriage. I
wish the ministers would for
get this "love, honor and obey"
stuff and substitute "stop, look
and listen."
There is hardly an American
family today that cannot boast
a divorce or a case of appen
dicitis. Divorcees seem tc think
they are the cream of society
because they nave been through
the separator, I suppose.
T don't care much about
family trees too many of
them need spraying. Like
Mark Twain, rd rather have
the Puritans for ancestors
than neighbors.
Country's Alien Enemy;
And the Striker Enemy
We have conscripted our sol
diers, we have told our manu
facsacers what they can sell
their food for and how much
profit they may make on their
ammunition. Then, bless God.
why has a labor union the
right to strike simply because
some workman shows up with
out a card in some organiza
tion 7 They strike and tie up
our shlpvards and our ammu
nition plants, when our boys
"over there" need the things
to protect their very lives. I
say conscript labor in time of
war. put it under military law
and then if It strikes in face
of such grave need and danger,
a stone -wsH at dayUght and
leaden biscuits for breakfast.
There must be one onion be
fore the labor union and that
is the union that ha for Its
emblem the stars and stripes.
Instead of interning them to
play golf and cricket. It would
be. better If we interred some
of our alien enemies.
There is no place in this
country for a German-American,
but I love an American
German.
Public Life In A
Its Faulk fmi Needs
No student of history can
fail to be appalled at the con
ditions that hare prevailed In
America for the past 25 years,
for history shows us that
every nation that has turned
from God to sold hats fallen.
We are elng to be regene
rated in this war. The fires
have been lighted beneath the
melting pot and out of the
war Is going to emerge the
real American.
Our big financiers whom we
delight in cussing as grafters,
are only products of the spirit
which Is saturating America.
They are exaggerated types of
our own selves.
I point to "Joan D, tne Baa
. Uat," ef elly fame, as oojjr an
exaggerated type of what most
Americans are at heart.
To rid our national spirit of
its undesirable phases, which
many of us take delight in
criticising, we must have a re
turn af Individuals to the san
ity of honesty.
National politics will be
clean after we nuke our state
clean: our states will be clean "
after we dean up our cities,
and they cannot be reformed
until we, as individuals, re
