PLAZA

Uuouestionably the most powerful and gripping of the Mutual Master pictures so far released is sThe Cup of Life,'' a five part visuaIization of the temptations that confront every poor girl who is thrown upon her own resources in a great city without the inspiring influences of a. good home or good friends and it will be shown at the Plaza the latter half of the week. It depicts in almost cold-blooded clearness the inevitable results of a life of vice and offers a splendid con trast by introducing as the chief char acters in the story, two sisters, who coming to the cross-road of life, choose different paths, one the honest love Sf poor man. the other the bIandishing attentions of wealthy ad- 1r1irers It follows both through the best years of their lives, contrasting the .1uxuries of one with the homely, but Joyful comforts of the other and forms a splendid lesson for young wo- manhood. It is a picture that every mother should bring her daughter to see.

Twilight Sleep.

Mrs. aC- Temple Emmet, great-great of the original John Jacob Astor and pioneer Twilight sleep mother of the United States in recent interview in New York, said: teAs to the question will the Twilight Sleep bring painless birth, it is for the scientists to wrangle over the meaning of the word tpainless.' The very great point is that, from the mothers experience it is painless. She has absolutely no recollection of any pain, provided the right technique is used-'' Dr. Kurt B. Schlossingk, who for four years was assistant to Profs. Koenig and Gauss, the discov-s erers of the Twilight Sleep methods at the Krauenklinik, Freiburg Ger many, is at the, Park theatre for the remainder of the week to lecture and show the first motion pictures of the Twilight Sleep ever taken. These 1ec- lures will be for women only at the matinees and any person in the au- dfence writing question will have it promptly answered by Dr. Sch1oss- ingk immediately after the lecture and before the pictures are shown.

laws, known as the Canon laws Of popery.
Under those church laws made in a foreign
land, but made to be put in force wherever
the Pope has the power, the people are denied
liberty of conscience, liberty of worship, free
dom of speech and freedom of press.
The Pope is always an italian, and always
will be, for the simple reason that ma
jority of the electors whose votes make the
Pope, are Italians.
The men who elect the Pope are the Car
dinals. He sees to it that a majority Of them
are always Italians, and they see to it that
the Pope is always an italian.
Thus, the italian Papacy is close, self
renewing corporation, which seeks to use the
name of God in ruling the universe,
Religion is a by-product with the Italian
church. What the hierarchy lives for, is
money and power; and its secret societies are

The EUROPEAN WAR AND THE FAE2ME2

WHEN it became known that nearly seven
million men had been withdrawn from
productive employment, and placed on the
battle field for destructive purposes, did
not believe that the war could last five
months.
The guns of today are SO enormously more
effective than those of earlier times, and the
huge increase Of population in Europe has
kept SO near to the limit of Europe's food
supply, that everybody knew there was no
surplus of bread and meat for 100000 men
kept out of the fields Of production.
In fact, Europe has to depend on the Uni
ted States for large proportion Of her food
stuffs, even in time of peace.
How then would it be possible for the war
to continue long time, with the American
supplies shut off?
OF course, [ took it for granted that

power and grasping for wealth.
They take VOWS of poverty, and then hog
all the property in sight, as they did in the
Philippines, in Mexico, in South America,
and as they are doing in these United
States.
They take VOWS of chastity and then estab-

are walled in, barred in, and locked in, from
everybody excepting the bull-neczed, thick

Other papers have followed the lead. The
growth of anti Catholic literature has been

Hers is the one church that dares not stand

Therefore, her policy has always been to
smother opposition and put out the light.
She has always gagged where she could :;
and she has always killed, where she could
not gag, if she had the power.
Knowing that she cannot afford to have
her doctrines and her practices and her pur-

favorite weapon Not being quite bold enough

What Edmund Burke

TIE State of Georgia is under indictment;
her people stand arraigned at the bar Of
public opinion, and she is made defendant
before the world, in a matter that is peculiarly
her own, and which, in the very nature Of
things, outsiders cannot understand.
There is no detective to talk back, when
WIN. j. Burns publishes libels upon our courts
and our people.
There is no one whose business it is to de-
fend the State Of Georgia, in those newspa
pers which have arrogated to themselves the
right to dispose Of Leo Frank.
One would naturally suppose that the At
lanta papers would not have remained silent,
while a persistent campaign was being waged
by interested parties, against the good name
of our State, and the integrity of her courts.
Never before has such campaign been
known, in which q sovereign State, whose
reputation has, heretofore, been above re-
proach, is either asked to remain silent under

newspapers and try, in THAT forum, case
which strictly belongs to another.
If the efforts of Franks millionaire hackers
succeed in concesling the truth, and giving
immunity to most hideous crime, then, here
after the struggle for the punishment Of
convicted criminal will really begin outside
the court house, outside the State, and out
side of the methods of law and evidence,
which were built up by the painful labor
Of centuries, and which, as every competent
lawyer knows, are so extraordinarily lenienC
to the prisoner, that it is practically impossi-

ca would not attempt to supply any Of

America would not attempt to supply any of
the warning nations, aoith accessories.
AS broad principle of the law of nations
those things which enable the fighters to
keep up the fight, are contrabrand, and they
must not be furnished to any party to the
fight.
This is good common sense as well as good
law.
IF you are allowed to feed one fighter, and
not the other, you take sides in the fight
If you furnish arms and ammunition to one
of the fighters, and not to the other, you are
party to the fight.
But if you feed and supply guns, powder,
lead, shells, bombs, &C., to all parties to the
fight, then you prove yourself a mercenary
auxiliary to all parties, willing to encourage
the war and keep it going IN order that you
mag make money ont of 1t.
