THEATERS
AT THE OLIVER.

Theatergoers Of South Bend are
being given a rare treat by the Otis
oliver players at the oliver theater
the first part of this week in the
four act melodrama written by Will
lard Mack, known as Kick In" The
unusual part of this bill is the fact
that it is not a discarded play. one
that has made its run in the large
theaters OF the country and is given
over 10 stock companies. nor is il
laid aside by the larger theaters be-
cause Of it's inability to draw crowds,
but while 1t is being played by the
large theaters of Chicago and other
cities South Bend people are having
the chance to see the same play with
the difference of stock prices and
first class prices.

remained for a long run. 1t opened
last August at Chicago in the Olym-
pic theater with Richard Bennett in
the role OF Chick Hewes. originally
played by Barrymore and Clara Joel
in the part of Molly.
The story opens with Chick Hewes
and his wife, eX-cOnvicts who have
decided to go straight. Through the
theft of a $4,000 necklace Hewes is
forced to shield an old friend from
being sent up the river" He is
suspected, bat being clever battles

ors 10 return it. Whip the de-

LIQUOR AND MINING.

At the last election two important
mining states, viz. Arizona and Colo
RADIO, went dry" This was no great
ground for surprise, the incompatible
ity of whisky with efficient work in
mining having long been recognized.
Indeed, mine operators in Arizona,
Colorado and Montana have lately
been emphatic in deploring the evil
tendency Of the saloon upon the eco
Monies of the industry, especially in
increasing liability to personal acct
dents and decreasing working efficien-
cy. The direct waste of resources,
the absence of thrift and the high
cost of policing are further results
to the community that may be traced
to alcohol in a more or less degree,
chiefly more.
John V. N. Dorr, a distinguished
mining and metaIlurgical engineer, has
furnished, in a letter to the Evening
Post, some concrete evidence as to
how this question is now regarded in
Colorado, quoting from communica-
ton received from large machinery
house in Denver as follows:
1t was indeed remarkable to find
how strong the various coal mining
companies were in favor of prohibit
ton after having had a year of it un-
der the federal authorities, who en-
forced the laws and made the coal
mining camps absolutely dry. 1t was
reported couple of weeks ago that
the Colorado Fuel &c Iron company
had announced to it's employees that
it was in favor Of having the state
go dry, and we have talked to a great
many operators who called at our
office, and, one and all, they have
agreed that the men were doing about
Is per cent better work per dollar Of
wages paid to them and that their
families were in much better condition
than when liquor was sold. On cleo
ton day and the day before it, the
coal companies had great many of
their men on the street talking pro-
hibition, and don't think ever heard
a better argument down the line in
favor of it, simply on account of the
better work that surrounded them.
This evidence is exactly in line with
the experience in the manufacturing
cities of Massachusetts, nearly all of
which for several years have been
dry under the local option law of
that state. 1t has been found there
that by reduction of alcoholic drink
ing the efficiency of the labor is
higher, that there is less work for the
police and magistrates to do and that
the local merchants suffer fewer bad
debts.
The national prohibition movement
was started largely on moral and SEN
timental grounds. Lately it has been
advancing on economic grounds. The
combination Of the moral and econom-
ic will make it irresistible. The
cause has been further promoted by
the decree as a military measure OF
prohibition in Russia, where vodka
has been a national curse. If the new
rule be continued indefinitely in Rus.
STA, the economic benefit to that coun-
try may be sufficient to pay its share
of the colossal cost of the war.

CATHEDRAL CROSS ILLUMI-
MATED.

On Christmas eve, the gilded
cross which crowns the dome of
the new Cathedral of st. Paul, at
a height of 294 feet, was illumi-
mated for the first time. This was
somewhat of a surprise to the pub
lie, as no announcement of the
event had been made. Many peo-
pie were startled to see the cross
outlined in light so high up in the
sky. For moment they thought it
was a new star which shone with
special brilliancy in the armament.
This was the first sign of life
given by the new Cathedral, the
first token of its sublime mission
to. shed the light Of the gospel
upon all who come within the
radius of its influence. 1t was
emblematic of the unfading light

THE POPE AND PEACE.

Pope Benedict XIV, whose inter-
est in the present war prompts
him to make continual efforts to
bring about peace, did not succeed
III securing q truce on Christmas
day. The idea, however, was a
beautiful one and worthy Of the
Vicar of the Prince Of Peace. Only
one ENTHUSIASTICALLY re-
fused to concur in the plan and
it had its own reasons for the
action. Some Of the other nations
engaged in war, notably Germany,
were willing to accede to the
wishes Of the Pope and others
again took no notice of his appeal.
The Holy Father knew the diff
ficulties Of the situation when he
preached the matter of a truce at
Christmas, but nevertheless he felt
that it was the duty Of the Holy
See, as a neutral power whose
subjects were actively engaged on
both sides of the conflict, to make
every possible effort to bring
about a cessation of hostilities
even for time and especially at
the season of peace and good
will.
Nor have the Pontiff's efforts
ceased with this attempt. He is
now seeking to effect an exchange
of prisoners in order to mitigate,
in some measure at least, the suf-
ferings incident to war. He has
likewise called the attention of
the bishops Of the different do
ceses in which prisoners of war
are confined to the necessity Of
providing chaplains conversant
with the different languages of the
prisoners to attend to their spir-
itual wants. In a word, the Holy
Father is doing all that can be ex-
pected Of him, by virtue of his
position, to ameliorate the horrors
and sufferings of this great con-
fiict, even if he cannot secure a
peaceful solution of the questions
at issue.
The recent encyclical shows the
mind of the Supreme Pontiff. 1t
is an official and forcible pro-
nouncement on a question of vital
Importance at the present moment.
Those who read it with the proper
dispositions cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the efforts which the
Holy Father is making and is will
ing to make in order to bring the
blessing of peace to the nations
now in the throes Of war.
