ron A CLEAN STAGE.

long step in the right direction
has been taken by the American Fed
Grated Catholic Societies in their en-
deavor to remove licentious plays from
the stage of the nation! Vigorous pro-
test is being made against certain
plays which are now being presented
to audiences in this country. Here are
cially Objectionable:
Miss Innocence"
Desperate Chance"
The Hypoerites."
"Kreutzer Sonata"
"Sappho."
The Blue Mouse"
The Soul Kiss"
The Girl From Rectors"
The Girl in the Train
The Girl in the Taxi"
Alma. Where Do You Liver"
La Samaritane."
THE Foolish Virgin"
Tho Woman Passes"
These and similar plays are declared
by the American Federated Catholic
Societies to set up a standard of
morality which is open licentious-
AesS. IL 10 DcliGNtt lIul
on such plays will accustom the spec
tators in thought and deed to disre-
gard and discard all Christian mod
esty. 1t is also thought that themes
of divorce, adultery, seduction, double
life. conjugal inhdelity. free love and
other worse performances are not
what the decent people want"
Only those who attend the theatre
regularly, and who are not unfamiliar
with the "acts" given in cheap vaude-
Vile and moving picture show houses
understand thoroughly the marked de-
cadence In the moral tone OF stage
offerings to-day. Let n "r!sque" play
be advertised and a full house is sure
to follow. This is rarely the case with
other sort of plays. The best actors
OF the best class often are greeted by
half hlled houses In the moving
picture shows. performances are even
more daring than in the regular play
house and the salacious sight is COM
mon there.
The drift in theatrical offerings is
distinctly not toward the good and the
clean. TIL re should be a general check
before public taste becomes too viii
ated.

The authorities at Fort Sheridan are

MAKE THEM LISTEN.

1t IS very hard to diffuse knowl-
edge and undcrsta nding of that which
is new The common herd is so dull
headed that the truth sinks but slowly
into it. The mayor of Girard. Kansas,
knows this. He is a Socialist. Some
time ago thirty voters in Girard were
put III jail for selling whiskey unlaw-
fully. Kansas being a prohibition
State. The Socialist mayor saw a
chance to secure converts, and so every
sunday morning while these men were
in jail he took a bundle of Socialist
literature under his arm and went 10
the Jail, where he talked the doctrines
OF Marx TO the assembled prisoners,
saying For the first time in my life,
have an audience that can't get
away"
Now that may seem to have been
taking mean advantage of a lot of
unfortunate men to talk socialism to
them. because they couldn't get away
and when they were worried about
raising money to pay their fines, but
the opportunity to do little mis-
sionary work was too good to let go.
Now this tale ought to have a little
moral for our dear friends, the advo-
Gates of votes for the female sex. Let
them seek out the prisons and let
their lights shine before the voters
there. Let them invade the "tonsorial
parlors" and convince while the lather
is thick upon the helpless man In
this way. many a convert would be
added to the fold and that day has
tened when shall dawn the glorious
summer of woman's content.

GRAY's ELEGY, r.. V.

G NJ. p Fitzgibbon. poet, has offered
the Boston Globe revision OF the first
verse of Gray's "Elegy in a Country
Churchyard" This was inspired by
the ruling OF the United States su.
preme Court as to reasonable re-
straints of trade and is entitled "Elegv
Written in the Supreme Courtyard" 1t
is:
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day.
The low!y herds wind slowly DER the
lea;
The piowman homeward plods his
weary way
And leaves tho world to Standard
OIL and mo.
j. Pierpont Morgan.
TO which the Globe adds:
The boast of privilege. the pomp OF
power.
And all that fortune. all that wealth
Ger gave.
Alike await the inevitable hour,
When Monopoly's note Will get a
shave"
The Common People.
The FIRST verse is more truth than
poetry

FLIES AND BALD HEADS.

At last use has been found for
bald-headed men other than their ira
ditional service in rejecting the foot
lights from the front rows at ballet
shows. In Pueblo, Colorado, the Bald
Headed Mems Protective Associat ion
decided to go after the fly, and started
a fy-kil!jng competition. AS a result,
100000 fies were slain The game
weighed total of thirteen pounds and
twelve ounces. AS the Denver News
says:
Lives of bald heads all remind US.
We our town can sterilize;
And, Departing. leave behind us
Monuments of swatted flies"
y RaldHeaded Mems Protective AS
ISOLATION should be formed in every
town for the determination of the fear
ful fly. which particularly delights in
annoying the man with the billiard
ball top.
