THE NICARAGUAN SITUATION
As lar as can be judged Irom reports touching on the
situation in Nicaragua it is one where revolutionaries are
endeavoring to unseat the administration of President
Diaz, which was chosen by ballot, by resorting to arms.
The same situation confronted the Calles government of
Mexico, and might have succeeded but for the policy of
the United States, which was to the effect that it would
assist a properly elected government against revolution
ary assaults until the people learned that the ballot was
the recourse to effect a change.
In view of the responsibilities imposed by the Mon
roe doctrine, the United States is compelled to maintain
a watchful eye on the Western hemisphere and assure to
other nations full protection of their rightful interests.
To allow Central America to revert to the epoch of recur
rent revolutionary changes not only endangers American
interests, but those of other nations, while at the same
time entailing international complications and general
chaos in the countries affected. *
That the policy of American interference is sound in
principle was shown when sporadic attempts were made
to launch revolutionary movements in Cuba. Since the
Cubans learned that this would not be tolerated, they have
made rapid strides along the line of self-government, and
have found the ballot a better medium than the rifle for
correcting abuses.
Thus the country is faced with the alternative of re
nouncing the Monroe doctrine and allowing injured na
tions to exact whatever redress their military power will
permit, or maintain the responsibility the doctrine im
poses. A fair illustration of surrendering the initiative to
foreign nations is shown in the case of China, where con
cessions were secured as redress for real or fancied inter
national wrongs. The United States does not desire to
have a similar situation on the Western hemisphere.
General Andrews, dry czar, wants Congress to ap
prove the manufacture of 3,000,000 gallons of medicinal
liquor a year. Must be expecting an epidemic of “flu” or
something.

BARRYMORE,S RETURN
The Liberty Theatre announces1
the most important picture of its!
season in “The Sea Beast,” which I
opens tonight.
This picturization of Herman |
Melville's “Moby Dick” was selected
by Johtf Barrymore for his return to
the screen under contract with
Warner Brothers, after his stage
triumphs as the greatest “Hamlet”
of his generation.
Barrymore, who lias not been seen
in pictures since, as “Beau Brum
mel,” he won the gold medal for the
greatest acting of the 1924 season, is j
said to 'have contributed another
masterpiece of acting to the screen
in the role of Ahab Ceeley, the fight
ing sailor whose towering pride and!
mighty strength carried him through i
blistering passion and murderous ,
adventure.
“Moby Dick” -the name of a white
whale of the demonic power- has, as
a novel, been accepted as the most
authentic and stirring of all Ameri
can stories of sea adventure. As a
screen play, it has been greeted as
the mightiest of all, in a season of
remarkable pictures. It is a story of
the -whaling days of 1840 with a
scene that shifts from New England
across the seas to Java.
The picture was adapted to the
screen by Bess Meredyth and direct
ed by Millard Webb. Titles were
written by Rupert Hughes. The cast
includes Dolores Costello and George
O’Hara.
The handball teams Hopkins-Shell- J
horn and Morton-Galloway are *
scheduled to meet this evening at
5 o’clock.

It is something you shouldn’t miss
We have to pay a large extra fee to be able to show this great
feature in Seward. Always in the past, when we had to pay so much
more for a special feature, we have had to charge 75c to get our
money back, but the town is a little larger now, and so we have de
cided to take a chance at the regular big feature price of 50c for
adults and 25c for kids, in the hope that enough more people will
come at the lower figure to cause the receipts to equal1 the past higher
Price- THE MANAGEMENT.
