Goods Law and Mans"

The plot of Goods Law and Mans, y
which will be the Sunday attraction at
The Grand, is well balanced and ro-
mantle. In the part of the Hindoo
Girl "Ameia" an opportunity is given
Viola Dana to repeat the success she
always makes of portraying a part Of
this type. The scenes of the play are
laid in India and England, and the
local color of both countries is well
sustained. A young English physi-
clan in India saves "Ameia" from be-
inc given to the priests of the temple
az Krishna by buying her for wife.
He returns to England on the death
Of his elder brother and his father at
tempts to force him into marriage
for money. "Ameia" follows him
home and way is found to bring
about happy ending.

someone has died from it before medi-

to be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR.
Why the United States Has Gone faeo
the World War.

| A reader of the st. Louis Republic
probably a German sympathizer-
wrote that newspaper the other day
desiring to know why we. are at war.
Presidents Wilson's address to con-
gress is d sufficiently explicit answer
to the question. But the Republic am
swers it in this homely way:
''We are at war because desperate
down the road had been destroying
our property and interfering with our
people as they passed along the public
road.
eve demonstrated with him and he
gave us false or evasive answers, and
continued the work of destruction.
FINALLY, after getting embroiled
with all the neighbors, except three
Of his own kind, he proceeded to kill
our citizens without warning when
ever they came inside zone of the
highway which he had appropriated
to his own use, contrary to law.
We took up arms to help those
who were fighting to rid the neigh
borhood of this desperate, and then
found that he had plotted To attack MS
as soon as he had finished killing off
or overcoming our neighbors, and
had even suggested a division of our
lands and property among his friends
or those who could be induced to join
with him
incidentally we found that by rid
ding the neighborhood of this blood
and -ambition-crazed individual wa
could stop all future outbreaks of
this character, free millions of down

make the world safe for democracy.
SO we buckled on the sword that
our great grandfather carried at
Yorktown, seized the old musket that
our grandfather shouldered in the
Mexican war, and to the same old
tune that called our father to his
duty in the civil war we marched
forth to fight for our rights and hui
manity.o
The Republics explanation is de-
void Of rhetorical flowers. But it fta
the case to nicely, and we submit It
to any hereabouts who may profess to
be unable to understand just why we
have gone forth to help lick the kaiser

"Her Official Fathers" !"

A rlotous young madcap who causes
no end of trouble for her guardians,
the officials of banking company, is
the character assumed by Dorothy
Gish in the Triangle play, ssHer Of
fetal Fathers" which will be shown
at the Gem today. On one occasion
the determined heiress engages in
hot argument with the banks vice
president concerning a pair of silk
stockings which she claims to need
desperately, though her wardrobe
contains some twenty pair to match
each of her suits and gowns. Being
persistent young lady who likes to
surpass the peacock in matters of gay
plumage, she cries out Justify for her
money, becoming so tempestuous in
her wrath that she starts a run on the
bank. To pacify her the vice presi-
dent hastily scrawls check, and she
speeds for the stocking emporium.
Every one who views this scene will
naturally sympathize with the be-
Witching girl. Yet when the extent
of her wardrobe is revealed there is
some foundation for believing the
directors justified when they arraign
her for extravaganza. Furthermore,
her father, the former president of
the company, had specified before his
death that she should give a strict
account of her expenditures and abide
by the wishes of the company. But,
having inherited her fathers indomi-
table viii, the independent vixen pro-
ceeds to do as she pleases, becoming
involved in one predicament after an
other.
While straying about in an oriental
curio store she has the misfortune to
knock over $500 vase. The Chinese
proprietors seurry out from behind
the counters, threatening to arrest
her unless she pays for the damage.
Things reach crisis when a news
paper publishes an account of certain
escapades of which she has been
guilty, and pitched battle ensues be-
tween Miss Dorothy and the bank
board. BY clever strategy she man
ages to decoy them along until she
reaches her eighteenth birthday; then
she assumes charge of her affairs.
During the course of the play Miss
Gish wears twelve changes Of cos
tune It is these gowns which arouse
CONSERVATION among the penurious
"official fathers" who have the task
Of safeguarding madcap Dorothy and
her immense fortune.
