DAINTY MARGUERITE CLARK
IN PARAMOUNT At ROYAL

The possession of wealth, according
to philosophers, does not bring happi-
ness. Hence it follows that when a
rich man loves nobody and no one
loves him, he is the poorest man in
the world. This is the theme that is
splendidly illustrated in Marguerite
Clark's latest Paramount photoplay,
erich Man, Poor Man," a story based
upon the novel of the same name by
Macmillan Foster, and adapted for
the screen by George Broadhurst.
Few film stars have the personal
charm and magnetism that have made
Marguerite Clark the sweetest girl in
motion pictures" as her warm admir-
ers say when speaking of her. In her
newest vehicle she appears as girl
who is reared in a boarding house
where she meets and loves young
man. Through forgery of which she
is ignorant, committed by a man who
seeks solely to promote her happiness,
she is accepted by crusty old fnan-
cier as his grandchild, his daughters
daughter, whom he has disowned for
marrying against his wish.
1t develops that the man Betty loves
is, in fact, the grandson of the mil
lionaire, but when the imposture is re-
vealed the old man refuses to give her
up, because by so doing he will forever
Danish the sunlight she has brought
into his sordid and cold life. The ul-
innate climax is reached by means of
a series of most gripping character.
erich Man, Poor Man." which is to
be displayed at the Royal theatre to-
night, is one of the best pictures in
which Miss Clark ever has appeared
and she is capably supported, chief
among her players being Frederick
Warde, the tragedian, who portrays
the role of the aged fnancier

S. D. HARRIS,

There is only one important differ
ence between ticks and a drought in
the cattle country
Man can get rid of ticks, but only
. rain will help drought.
Otherwise ticks and drought both
mean thin cattle and dead cattle.
With drought, the grass isn't
there to eat. With ticks the grass is
there, but the ticks get a large part
of it.
No pasture on earth can feed cattle
and ticks effectively at the same time.
DIP THAT TICK!
He who seeks equity must do equity.

NOTED MEN ATTACK POSTAL
ZONE" LAW AS AGAINST THE
PEOPLES INTEREST.

George w. Wickersham, former at
forney-genl of the United States:
If the American and New York City
Publishers association have given an
accurate description of the legislation
and its effects, and am not prepared
to dispute it, it is very unfortunate
that it was ever proposed or enacted.
There should be no law against linn
ling intelligence. mean that there
should be no embargo on sane intel
iigence. 1t is against the public in
terests. The people are entitled to
all the truthful information they can
get. In this way they are educated.
Professor Charles Austin Beard for
merly professor of political econo-
my at Columbia University, and
now associated with the bureau of
municipal research):.
The whole spirit of the new postal
zoning law is contrary to the princi-
pies on which our government was
founded. Jefferson, more than a hun
dred years ago, promulgated the
theory that newspapers and periodi-
Gals were essential to the success of
our democracy.
1t is wrong in spirit and wrong in
theory to hamper the national devel-
opment of the country. 1t will result
in sectional feeling, and will aid in de-
stroying our national unity. 1t is par
ticularly obnoxious at this time when
the people of the country, East, North,
South, and West, should be blended
together with common purpose.
NewcOmb Carlton president of the
Western Union Telegraph):
1t seems to me from the standpoint
of constructive criticism, that the mail
zone measure should be repealed and
a more equitable method of raising
revenue be substituted.
/ regard this contemplated zone
change as a serious detriment to the
distribution of what must be useful
and constructive material. It does
seem to me that some more equitable
plan for raising money could be devils
ed than this taxing Of periodicals.
A. Barton Hepburn chairman of the
board of directors of the Chase Ma
tional bank):
If this measure (the postal zone
law applies to all magazines, as I I'M
derstand it does, / shorad think it very
unMise.

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation Is not yet Imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gcncies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum of 2O,OOO,O 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 100000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties Of war to the European

will have been in vain.

even In the Ukraine, with stores accu.

In the large centers Of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest Of Europe

ST. PAUL DISPATCH AND ITS UN.
FAIRNESS
Likes Editorial-crosby Man Approves
Discussion on ireland.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
was very much pleased with your
frank and outspoken statement of
the present situation in your magnifi-
cent editorial entitled, again the
Snake Coils" 1t hit the mark so
squarely that l could not help COM
plimenting you on it's aptness and firm
ness, so very characteristic of what
has emanated from your editorial
chair.
It does seem very strange how peo-
pie may be so deluded by imposture
to imagine that England could posi-
bly, be in any way inimical to us or our
national interest. AS far as Gree
dom of the seas is concerned, she
has never done anything to jeopardize
the interests of people who are honest
in their national dealings, and it would
be a farce for President Wilson to
exact from friendly ally an imposs-
BILE pact, such as would prevent her
from policing and guarding her wide
spread colonies. There is not a spot
of earth where the Union Jack flies
that does not love and covct the pro-
lection of the British navy, and there
is the greatest of all arguments that
Albion is built OH the square. ...
1 feel it is too bad that we did not
commence years ago wedding out
noisy Irish demagogues in this coun-
try who have been raising outcries
against the British lion. Ireland is
the best off of any country in Eu-
rope, and infinitely better off than she
could be under her own autonomy.
England has seen to it that all the
powers which are now coming into
prominence-such as the Czecho-Slo'
walks and Jugo-Slavs, should possess
their own respective governments, and
these people certainly deserve recog
milton for the peaceable and gentle
manner in which they bore their griev.
ances, which were far from imaginary
It would be supreme folly for Eng
land to hand over self-determination
right now to the Irish, because they
are not duly prepared for national
education to undertake such a high
and lofty responsibility. Ireland will
get more good measures from Eng
land, and more sympathy from this
country in the future, by ceasing from
belittling the prowess and the culture
of England.

AN IRISH LEGEND

Pile high the turf upon the fire,
And make the cabin bright,
And put no bolt upon the door
This blessed Christmas night;
For, if so be they pass this way,
And she in trouble sore,
They'll know an Irish welcome waits
Beyond the open door.
Now place the Christmas candles there
Put one in every pane
That they may see the blessed light
A-shining through the rain.
The curlew calls across the sky,
The winds are keening low;
Who knows but here they'll rest a
while,
AS on the way they go?
On Christmas Eve, long, long ago,
The doors were bolted fast,
And in the dawn's grey light they
found
Their footprints as they passed.
For this the Christmas lights are set
The doors are open wide,
That in her travail she may know
A place she may abide
The inns were full, but there is room
This blessed Christmas Night
For Mary and her Holy Child
Where shines the Christmas light.
Then set a candle in each pane,
That, passing, she may know
A welcome waits the Holy Child
Where Christmas lights bright glow

CATHOLICS ELECTED THEIR
CANDIDATES.

Immediately after the election GER
tain anti-Catholic newspapers trium-
phantly reported that the Catholics
had lost out in Detroit, where certain
measures taken against The Menace
had led to the drawing of religious
lines. 1t now turns out that the Cath.
olics had elected three candidates to
the new non-partisan city council, or
one-third of the whole number. This

lutionary War, when our gallant New
Englanders and Colonists, assisted by
the 1rish-Americans, drove the Eng
lish red coats forever from our shores.
If our Crosby friend with the Cockney
name were here at that time, wonder
If he would have been an American
or Loyalist. Yet Washington stated
on a certain occasion that he believed
fully half of his army were of Irish
birth or descent, no class of men knew
better than they what blood-thirsty
robber and murderer England was in
those days and for centuries before.
President Wilson did begin wedding
out the Irish Demagogues- as our Cros-
by friend calls them, at the entrance
of our country into war, but his object
in wedding them out was to place
them at the head of his ship building,
his airplane building, labor organiza-
lions of the country, railroad manage
ment and numerous other places of
real Importance which they have
filled so we'll that they surprised the
whole world, including the United
States. The American army today,
now being mustered out, is made up
Of at least 25 per cent of Irish by birth
or descent. The Irishman is an Amer
lean citizen the day he lands on Amer
lean soil, and he would fight and die
for America if necessary. We cannot
say the same of all our emigrants,
and the real American knows whom
l refer to. Your correspondent writes
that it would be supreme folly for
England to hand over self-determina-
| ton to Ireland because it has not been
fully prepared for national education
! to undertake such a high responsible
ity. What do you know about that
statement from our Crosby friend.
Why, my Dear Johnnie, it has been
| stated many times by American visi-
tors to the House of Commons in
England that the real brains of that
body were in the Irish members, ex.
cept Asquith, Lloyd George and few
others, and as for the mental capacity
of the House of Lords, it is known as
a joke the world over.

POPE PREPARES TO
GO OUTSIDE VATICAN

Rome, Dec. 14.-That Pope Benedict
is prepared to abandon a custom of
nearly half a century and no longer
consider himself bound to remain with
in the grounds of the Vatican is the
firm belief in several circles here. No
pontiff has left the Vatican since 1871
as a protest against the occupation of
Rome by the Italian government. Re-
ports that the pope would break the
rule have appeared many times since
the pontiff lost his temporal power.
The question was brought up last
June when the Vatican issued a denial
that the pope would leave Rome for

ConsoGng Results.

God alone knows what His mer-
ciful providence has in keeping for
the world as result of the present
great conflict of the nations-but even
in the events that have thus far tran
spired this one striking fact stands
forth in most convincing evidence.
Their Catfolicity has placed no re-
straint upon the patriotism of the sons
and daughters of the Catholic Church
no matter what their race or ma
tionality-nor has it lessened their re-
spect for the ruling authorization
made them hesitate to respond with
their very lives to the call their be-
loved country has made upon them.
Nay, what grand spectacle to see
them rallying with enthusiasm from
all sides to obey even the powers that
once robbed them of their affairs and
prescribed their faith. Today their
example is all inspiration on the bat
tlefield-their devotion to duty tow
err of strength to their country-thcir
influence upon life in the military
camp the admiration of friend and foe.
1t could not be otherwise for it is
part of the mission of the Catholic
Church wherever she exists to build
up brave, honest manhood, with
such nobility of soul, generosity of
heart as make her sons and daughters
joy to their country and blessing
to every worthy cause confded to
their care.
How much, therefore, is it not to
be regretted that those who criticize,
oppose and very often hold bitter feel
ings against her-do not know her
better-know her as she really is
not as she is so often misrepresented
to be.
How sadly, too, it is to be regretted
that SO many of her sons and daugh-
tiers are not all that they should be
in their daily 1ives-are not all that
| she tries SO hard to make them-are
not true to the grand lessons she
never ceases to teach them. If they
were, what a Transformation there
would be in the sentiments so often
unjustly uttered against her on ac-
count of the misdeeds of her unworthy
,, children.
Oh, may the Spirit of God move
out over these troubled waters as it
did in the days of old and bring peace
to the ugly storms that ruffle the
hearts and minds of SO many people,
rulers and nations-and may the char
ity of Christ that "bearcth all things,
believeth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things" that charity
sink deep into their souls and bring
them one and all to bow in reverence
and obedience to the noble commands
of the loving Master of life and death

Throughout the long lost years,
Here since the day he kissed you,
Bidding good-by through the tears.

In life's precipitant pool.

Under eternity's rule;
Ever the end cometh nearer,
Plying no mortal fears,
Vet ev'ry hour holds you dearer,
Mother of mine, through the years
Manhood may change us for others,
Sharing our sorrows and Joys;
But when it comes to our mothers
We always are little boys.
Mother of mine, watch above me
Keeping your boy in the right,
To never forget and to love thee
SO long as the day follows night.
Pray for me all through the trial
In the dark hours and the bright;
There where the suns iaircst dial
Marks off the moments in flight;
My guardian angel, be with me
