the man implicated in murder

every family has skeleton in the
closet" is truisn that needs no
ocular demonstration. The man
who is always ready to drag out
the skeleton" and hold it upto the
merciless gaze of,public scrutiny,
is moral degenerate and should
be excoriated by all humanity. The
human being who will not protect
his own kith and kin should have
no standing in the ranks of such
snlendid manhood as may be found
all over this broad land. We have
no desire to condone the evils COM
plainedof. They are grievons ones
and should be corrected. The SUI
preme question of the hour is,
"How is it to he done!"
There are a thousand evils to
which Humanity has fallen heir,
by the decree of a Divine PFoyi-
de'ce. Those evils are beyond the
reach Of grand juries or public
committees. They can best be
mitigated in the home. The
fathers and mothers are the ones
whom an All Wise Providence has
decreed should shoulder this grave
responsibility. You can t shift the
responsibility off onto the grand
jury or some Investigating commit
tee, and you would be convicted of
moral cowardice, if yon were COM
PEELED TO stand trial on that charge
in a court of competent juris-
diction.
Fathers. mothers, the RESPONSE
billty ls yours: face it like brave
men and noble women. Don't
go down to your graves with the
brand of cowardice on your brows.
The brand of Cain could have
been no greater disgrace and no
heavier to carry. Take up your
burdens and carry them over the
long road and for Gods sake, don't
try to shirk your responsibilities,
because if you do, they will be
greater than you can bear.

Attractions at the

The Porter Stock Company, that
appears at the Bradley Opera
House tomorrow night in The
Great Divide, and in the Bush
ranger and Paid in Full the two
following nights, has had a phe-
nomgNal success. In Idaho they
mad9Sucb a hit on the Idaho Falls
branch that they stayed for eleven
weeks, canceiling bookings for time
farther west In these eleven weeks
they played in five towns and es-
tablished new house records for at.
tendance.
The three plays this company will
produce are well known successes
that have been played in the larger
cities of the country to crowded
houses. All three plays have an
eexceptional history. The Great Di-
vide established Henry Miller as
Americas greatest actor. The
Bushranger established Lionel
barrymore as a star. and Paid in
Full over night established Eugene
Walters as a coming playwright
and since has seen him grow into
the writer of tho greatest Ameri-
can play yet written. The high
class vaudeville presented between
acts with this company is better
than usually seen here and alone
will be worth the admission.
