...scheming deacon, a lovable hypocrite and generous to a fault, is pivot; and Mr. Berton Churchill acts his sanctimonious role to perfection, while with nimble wit and deft fingers he wins himself, the girl, the hobo, and the proprietress out of dangerous holes. Then there are the villains, well drawn, better acted, and best cast, and the local characters highly indigenous and the comic prize fighter, "Bull" Moran, et altera. Young Jerry Devine, as the hero and heroine idolater and the son of the coquettish proprietress, is, however, one of the chief stars. His juvenile acting is absolutely genuine...

...Process. Last week the Ways and Means Committee set to work in earnest upon the tax reduction law of 1926. From the conflicting opinions now being heard by the Committee, in all probability two bills will be drawn up.

And rightly so, for nobody cares what the lame ducks think about educational requirements which they have...

Every year an innumerable horde of boys and girls from every variety of home storm the citadels of learning drawn there in the main by a common belief that college is a blessed institution for increasing money-making ability. And every year a similar multitude of young men and women are sent forth to their sordid battle from the gates of our colleges armed with a sheepskin, a bundle of new desires, a few common-place rules of economics, and with hardly a trace of originality among them--an army of pygmies fresh from the mold.
