Tihen, D. D., of the Roman Catholic
Church says, relative to the Colora
do miners’ strike: “A man has a
right to get enough money to sup
port himself and his family in de
cent comfort.” Some more—“If it’s
necessary to use force for the prn
| lection of these rights, he has the
right to use force. Hence, strikes
when necessary are justifiable.’
Still some more—“If a business can
not exist without breaking men, it
must pass away.”

Federal specialists now say that
the muchly touted Hearst docu
ments—letters published in the
Hearst papers of the Mexican Gov
ernment—are all false and spurious
This came out in a Senate investi

is evident that the wily Hearts bit

PETER THE GREAT
On Friday and Saturday nights,
at the MacGregor Theatre, Peter
the Great will be featured in “WILD
JUSTICE,” a Chester Franklin pro
duction of exceptional cast. Peter
the Great stars in this play and Pe
ter the Great is a dog. And here’s
a word or two bearing on this fa
mous canine. He is German born
ana is four years old. He has a ped
igree that can be traced back thru
twenty generations. He can claim
the most aristocratic lineage of any
dog star in picturedom. “Wild
Justice” is a marvelous human story
of life and love in the lonely North
Country, and abounds in thrills and
appealing action. Peter the Great
himself, performs miracles of ath
letic prowess. The dog’s wisdom is
scintillating.
