night because six months old baby is
the means of wiping out the centuries
old class pride of England. The story
deals with the marriage of an aristo-
crat to girl of the people and the
consequent horror with which the
mans proud mother regards the union.
However, when the baby srrives he
proves that love is greater than family
trees and brings the two social
elements together.
Peggy Hyland, one of the popular
stars of Greater Vitagraph, appears in
the stellar role of the piece, playing
opposite to Sir John Hare, England s
greatest character actor.
OF all the famous actresses in Eng
land, Miss Peggy Hyland, the charm
ing little star of Babette," 1.-The
Sixteenth Vile" and other successes,
was chosen to play the star part of
" Caste" the Greater Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature which will be the at.
traction at this theater tonight.
In selecting her for this part the
Greater Vitagraph company not only
paid her a personal tribute, but enabled
her to realize an ambition that of
playing opposite to Sir John Hare,
Englsnd's greatest character actor
and most belo Jed artist
Sir John has won fame as Eccles, the
good-natured old reprobate of the Rob-
ertson satire on English class pride,
and Miss Hyland, who was born in
England, has won fame as an Ameri-
can screen leading woman. 1t is con-
sidered great tribute to her ability
as an actress that she should have
been picked from all other women to
appear in this classic production.

love OF LIBERTY
Trait Was Early Manifested in
Career of Thomas Moore.
Great Poet Spent Youth in Trinity COL
lege, Where Flame of Irish
Patriotism Was Aglow.

The story of Thomas Moore's boy
hood is as generally known as his
after life. His bright symptoms of
genius, his love of music and poetry,
his love of domestic pleasures in the
genial circles of his home. and the
grandest and purest feature of his
whole character, his love of liberty,
the liberty of his native land.
He loved his land with love far brought

which was rapidly spreading among
the students. Robert Emmett was light

of Irish liberty.
The crisis which caused the expul-
sion of Emmett and others from the coll
lege Moore bravely faced and proudly
came through the crucible of tyranny.
writes Charles O'Farrell In the Irish
World. When he was taken before the
college tribunal for examination he
manfully refused to incriminate any of
his fellow students. In the course OF
his examination he made Lord Glare
the following spirited reply:
Il have no fear, my lord, that any
thing / might say would incriminate
myself, but II may tend to involve 9TH
ers, and Idespise the character of the
man who could be led, under any cir
cumstances, to inform against his as
sociates."
He resumed his studies in the coll
lege, and at twenty years old obtained
his degree of b. A. Shortly after this
he proceeded to London to enter for
the bar. But fortunately for the lovers
OF fine poetry and song. fortunately for
the sublime music of Ireland. which,
he has made immortal. he did not be-,
come a lawyer. Soon after he arrived
In London he published some of his
youthful effusions. and they were so
successful, in spite of adverse criti-
cism, that he gave up the law forever
and entered in triumph the field of
song. So rapidly did he publish series
after series of the finest gems of po-
etry that he very soon became famous.
The rich mine of Irish music, or Irish
valor and bravery, and of all the grand
phases of Irish character were COW
cred up for long ages by the dark pail
of Saxon tyranny, till Tom Moore
tuned the Irish harp, tore off the
shroud and raised up with his sublime
melodies the proud glory of Ireland to
the "eyes Of all time"
Well and truly does he say:
Dear Harp Of my country in darkness I
found thee
The cold chain of silence had hung DER

When, proudly my own Island Harp,

AWAITING AN COVERT ACT" !

A MOTHER Lusitania horror On
a Sunday night last, a German sub
marine sank without notice, the big
Cunarder Laconia, drowning or blowing
up 13 of the 291 passengers and crew,
among the number three Americans,
Mrs. Hoy, her daughter and fireman.
A few days ago an American mis-
sionary en- route to his far away post,
was with others thus assassinated by
these Teuton pirates. Shortly before
that, still another American was one OF
the victims of this ruthless piracy.
Thus the bloody tale Of Germany's sea
massacres of Americans is mounting up.
One wonders when the persistent
slaughter of our citizens will amount to
an covert act" in the eyes of Mr.. Will
son who has both in words and in deeds
declared himself "too proud to fight!
Since writing this he has asked OF
Congress permission to arm American
ships, for defense-an EARNED neutral

German assassinations of our citizens,

THE DEATH PENALTY

THE legislature refuses to abolish
! either capital punishment or the
whipping post. All sensible citizens
will heartily applaud their action in both
cases.
Capital punishment for murder has
from the earliest ages been used by all
enlightened nations. 1t was thus
punished by the Athenians and the
Romans. In modern times it has been
disused by some of the smaller nations
in Europe, Belgium, Holland, Italy and
Rumania. A few Of our states have
also abolished the death penalty, but
number that had done so found, like
Prussia in 1848. the increase in homi-
cides so great that they restored the old
penalty.
In 1756, when Blackstone published
his Commentaries there were about 160
offenses for which the penalty was
death, among others, killing rabbit in
a lords warren, barking his cherry
trees, and score more trivial injuries
to property. So, too, stealing so small
sum as 26 cents was punishable with
death.
Readers of Dickens Barnaby Rudge
will recall his description Of the pathetic
case Of Mary Jones, a handsome, 10
year old young wife, who, after her
husband had been stolen from her by
the inhumau press-gang. and she with
her two little children. driven starving,
and half-naked into the streets, stole a
few cents worth of linen in store to
get bread for her famished little ones
and for this was hung, her babe, suck
mo at her breast as she rode in the open
cart to Tyburn
This Draconian severity represents
one extreme of the penal code, while
the modern attempts to emasuculate it
almost wholly represents another ex-
treme
The wisest and most humane leglsla-
tors in modern times have agreed, that
for murder the only fit penalty is death.
Thus the great Kent in his Comment
aries says, vol. 2, p. 1914: "Civil So
ciety has an undoubled right to use the
means requisite for its preservation;
and the punishment of murder with
death accords with the judgment and
practice of mankind" d"-quoting the
learned Grotius in support of his view.
Space forbids full discussion OF the
question, and we only wish to add that
if all other authorities and usages were
wanting to uphold the death penalty for
murder, the plain, repeated statements
in the Word of God, is ample for that
purpose.
