EDISON THEATER

The attractions at the Edison theater
this week have been chosen in a versa
tile manner. There is comedy, pathos,
music and drama intermingled in one thor
oughly good show. The juggling act that
is put on by Nelsonia is one of the clever
est turns that has been seen here for
some time. The Loretta family of aero
bats is another good turn. Miss Rose
Golden is singing the illustrated songs this
week. "The Village by the Sea" is rem
dered by her while the scenes of the song
are pictured on the canvas.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. pa free
trade bill with a new and alluring title
has been placed in the hopper of congress
by Representative Williams of Mississippi

airy by posing as a specimen of what ply
steal culture has done for me-
Dressed in the calico wrapper of the pris-
on, she looks slight, girlish and innocent.
The smile with which she greeted the po-
lice when they entered her home has
changed to one of winning tenderness,
and she is the picture of wronged human
ity.
Strip off the wrapper with its concealing
folds, tear away that beguiling smile, and
they say the woman stands revealed a
demon and giantess. 1t is alleged that Mrs.
Ray became angry at her husband, who
allowed his niece to escape from room
where she had locked her, and that she
chased him out of the house with a toast
ing fork, after which she went back and
killed the child, ending by throwing the
little thing down stairs with the point OF
the weapon. Seventy bruises were counted
on the child's body by the coroner.

About the worst lynching outrage

About the worst lynching outrage
week, which was barely mentioned in
the eastern papers. 1t was the killing
of a negro who had been seen to speak
to white girl on the street. Some
factory employees who observed them
made up their minds that the negro
was insulting the girl. That was
enough. A mob was instantly formed,
, and the negro forced to run for his life,
which he did until shot in the back by
the foremost of his pursuers. In this
case there was no crime committed,
and no complaint made. The mob was
simply wild for a killing, and readily
found an excuse for it. There is the
usual sequel of no arrests, and appar-
local authorities to vindicate the ma
jesty of the law. 1t is hard to con-
! ceive of a more ineXcusable crime even
in the most lawless section of the
South. Southern Illinois and Indiana
are getting a reputation in the lynch
ing business hardly excelled by Mis-
sissippi or South Carolina. Such af-
fairs seriously blunt any American
protests against the prosecutions Of the
Jews in Russia or the Christians in Ar
menia.

The much discussed revision of the
football rules doesn't promise to be
much of revision after all. The
changes which it is announced the
committee will make are not sweeping
enough to bring about the degree of
"open" playing which the friends of
the game long for in place of the
mass playing which has made foot
ball more dangerous to the players and
less interesting to the spectators.
Briefly, the committee has done away
with mass plays in the middle of the
field, but has permitted them to con-
tinue under the present conditions
whenever the teams reach the twenty
five yard line. 1t is hard to grasp the
logic which allows mass plays in some
parts where the fight is hottest-and
| not in others. If a change is made at
| in the line in ell parts of the field. The
| only other important change of the
committee is that requiring the quar-
terback to be five yards behind his line
before running with the ball. and five
yards to one side before advancing it.
This, too, is imperative within the
twenty-five yard lines, and would re-
quire almost superhuman powers Of OBJ
servation from the umpire. Indeed, it
is question whether it is at all

And now the optinists come for

The later details of that horrible
butchery i'll the royal palace at Bel
grade make it seem like an outbreak
of savage demons in an African Jungle.
Evidently the veneer of Servian civili-
cation is very thin. 1t is hard to find Il
parallel to the affair in all history. a
century ago the Car of Russia, Paul,
was murdered by members of his mil
itary staff and some of the murderers
rose high in the favor of his son and
successor, Alexander l. But in that
case the military conspirators killed
only the ruler and did not indulge in
wholesale slaughter. The affair is
different from the, anarchistic assassi-
nations of recent years, because the
plot had definite purpose. 1t is pity
the conspirators had not been content
with merely driving the unpopular
King and Queen from the country.
The world would have applauded a
revolution of that nature under the
circumstances.

on the Liban, for the crew rushed to
the boats and escaped while the pas
sengers went down with the snip be-
