In a recent trial or murder, a voung man was accused of kiling his father.

Sup- pose you loved that mother than you loved anyone else in the world (and it is only natural that you should), and yet you knew that were too weak physically and did not have the nerve to stand up in the face of dishonor to prove to the world that you could remedy the trouble your father had caused. Would you have the nerve, know- ing vourself incapable of taking your real place in the world, to suddenly change the course of your 1i leave the New England farm that had pro- tected you ever since you were born, and leave the side of that loving mother to travel to Texas just to clear up the family name? It would take something out of the ordinary to cause a man to act like that, would it not? Some great force would have to enter his life: Tmagine those experiences being scrcened, and the part of that man taken by such an actor as Charles Ray, and vou have the idea conveyed in the great motion picture, “His Mother's Son”, which is at the Lyceum theater today and tomorrow. Yesterday, Ray appeared for the first time in the part. We have seen him in numerous parts, and we have admired him, as have our audiences. Now, we take the liberty to invite you to see him and we say that you will leave the theater satisfied that Ray is a wonderful actor, portraying a wonderful role in a wonderful man- ner. The Lyceum offers the picture as an example, and a true one, of what the picture can do. Press, public, and pulpit endorse the picture as a re- velation, and patrons of the Rialto in New York last week hailed it great. Other good offerings are on the same program. The Lyceum Weekly is especially interesting this week., “Good Night, Ladics.” (New York Evening Post) General Pershing has put a ban on romance by his urging that the Sol- diers’ Godmothers’ league cease its organized attempt to introduce Filleul and Marraine, He adduces as his chief reason that the correspon- dence between lonely soldiers in France and their godmothers on our | side of the water would clog the trans- port of necessary mail and supplies. His secondary reason is that he does not want his soldiers corresponding with strange women. Perhaps he means to imply that information of use to the enemy might be obtained by spies in this manner. Perhaps he is thinking of the proprieties. In any case, the American Army and people are to be robbed of a highly w#=tur- esque feature of the war. Men in the trenches are not to be set dreaming af fair unknowns; ladies of all ages are not to have the fun of some huge bear of a person 3,000 miles away. General Pershing has taken the joy out of army letters. On the other hand, he has reduced the possi- bility of disillusianment when Filleul meets Marraine, as | iMe 5 more | you | into | the American Army the institution of | fne States and lodge all authority ats petting | | tution, nu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

(New York World) The principal argument at Washing- ton by advocates of Nation-wide Wo- man Suffrage is that the amendment of State Constitutions is a slow and difficult process, If the end desired may be accomplished at one stroke by an amendment of the Federal Consti- they ask, why is not that ex- logical and desirable? Unwittingly the Suffragists reveal in this proposition a trait of the feminine mind wheh has caused many judicious | persons to doubt the wisdom of Wo- man Suffrage. Easy government is not usually the hest government for a de- mocracy. The most powerful tempta- tion confronting republics is that which urges haste, indifference :md‘ comfort upon the citizen. A democ- in a hurry or indolent is a de- mocracy on the road to ruin. It 1s no more a task to amend a State Constitution for Woman Suffrage than to change it in any other respect. By just such toilsome methods most | of the liberties we now enjoy were gained. The easiest way to govern this coun- | try for a season would be to wipe out ! pedient frage and | amendment that Washington. Woman Su Prohibition by national contemplate prodigious steps in direction. Both depend largely upon feminine impulsiveness. We may, if | we will, accept the risk of masculine subordination, but are we to destroy the States and change the whole char- acter of our Government? Preventive.

DELIBERATE MURDER OF COUNTESSES yB'rulal Method Employed by Rus- London, Jan. 18— (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—A graphic { story of the murder by drunken Rus- | sian soldiers of Prince Sangushko, Polish nobie. and of his two daugh- ters, the Countes: is | related by the Petr: correspon- | dent of Lilovd’s News. Before the war the tragedy lately enacted at Slavuta would have sent thrill of horror throughout Europe, the correspondent. ‘‘/ t is bare fact that the venerable since Sangushko, 90 years old, had n murdered, T been announced, t the ghastly details of the crime have only iust been revealed. { “The castle of Slavuta, built when the district of southwestern Russia, | where it stands, belonged to the king ! of Poland, lies on the outskirts of a little manufacturing town of the same | name. Owing to the unsettled state of the country, which infested by deseriors from the army, the military authorities had sent a guard of d oons to the castle, which contains priceless historical treasures accumu- lated by the Sangushko family in the | se of the centuries. | One of these dragoons caught I soldier from a neighboring vills cutting down a tree in the forest sur rounding the castle and tackled him The thief was slightly wounded, but not severely emough to prevent h running to the neighboring village, where his regiment s stationed, shrieking that the guard at the cast was trying to murder him. The sol- dier’s comrades at once seized their rifles and surrounded the c: of. | Prince Sangushko. Th to and the dr re- ! turned their fire. All the time the 1d the members of the regi- | mental committee were appealing to the insurgent soldiers to obey orders and to cease firing “Suddenly they gave way, only stip- ulating that a deputation from the committee should search they were convinced that the old prince had stored ma- chine guns for use in the cause of the counter revolution. Of course, there were machine guns, and all that was found few sporting guns and revolvers. “Just as suddenly as the crowd of soldiers, s ing in the courtyard of the cas red to the appeal of their came a new uproar, and, in an instant, they had over- the guard, and rushed into the castle.

From early in the morning, when the ma- | rauders began their attack, until five o'clock in the afternoon, the sacking of the castle went on. Then the sol- diers retired to the court yard. “‘What about the prince?’ one of them. “‘And the lovely countes another. “Back into the castle rushed a band of soldiers, and began to search for the owner. At last he was found, and dragged into the court yard among the derisive yells of the soldiers wait- ing for their vietim. They decided to iake him to the village where they | were stationed, and dragged the old man along, for he was too old to walk at the they desired.

Those two youthful countesses whose exquisite loveliness had mada them the center of all eyes in the sa- lons of the palaces of W and whose goodness and sweetness had made them beloved by the people of Slavuta, were defended for a time by the Catholic priest of Slavuta, who ad known them from childhood and prepared them for first communion, But the soldiers refused to be de- prived of their victims and showered blows with the butt-ends of their rifles on the courageous priest, who fell and was beaten to death. It is perhaps well that the sufferings of the two countesses ended in death!” The day ended with the soldiers run- ning amuck in the town, murdering and maltreating peaceful inhabitants, while the scene was lit up by the flames of the blazing castle of the Sar shko."” savage Meatless Days, (Walt Mason) There aye a million luckless jays wha are observing meatless days six times a weel or more; deserving men, who lack the price to buy a pork just off the ice, at any butcher’s store.

Cheer up! the worst is yet to come Before the voice of war is dumb we may be eating hay; we'll doubtless know what grief is then, and wish we might observe again the old-time meatless day.
