SENATOR BAIRD,S CONSISTENCY

THE EVENING NEWS cannot be accused of being a partisan
of David Baird. He ii a representative of the old school of pohti-
clans with which we are not in sympathy. Nevertheless, we have no
atience with the attacks now being made on Senator Baird, charg-
ing him with inconsistency by refusing to vote for womens suffrage
after he had pledged himself to stand by President Wilson in the
prosecution of the war.
Some of the opponents of Senator Baird opponents of Governor
Edge might be more correet) are attempting to 'ridicule Senator
Baird's platform because it has for its first plank the backing of
President Wilson's war policies. They point out that Senator Baird
has refused to follow the President ON the suffrage question.
An attempt is made to make the suffrage issue a war measure,
which it is not. The suffrage question was before the nation pre-
yious to the war and it may still be agitated after the war is over.
Suffrage has nothing to do with the war. Because President
Wilson. after a long period of silence, claiming that suffrage was
something to be decided by each state separately, finally changed
his mind and came out in favor of federal action on suffrage. is no
same way.
No matter what Senator Bairds faults may be, the charge that
he is Inconsistent in his promise to support the President in the war
by refusing TO vote for the suffrage amendment is false and unjust.

Today We Celebrate
Killing by Machinery.

One hundred years g today saw
the birth of the man who invented
n of the neatest and most expedi-
tious killing machines eve devised by
human ingenuity. Richard Jordan
Calling was his name, n he was
born In Hertford county, North Car
olina. September IL, 1918, and died
in New York in 1908.
The machine gun, chief product OF
Cuttings invention, vastly improved
over crude staying device created by
Calling half a century ago, has recah-
ed its apotheosis in the present wal
Like Henry ~Shrapnel. the British army
officer. who invented shrapnel shells.
Calling believed that. since wars
must be. II were better that the kill
ing he conducted along broad. whole
sale lines than by petty retail meth
DDS.
Although the machine gun has been
developed during the last half century
the idea is an old one. AS far back rs
1875 a patent vas granted In England
to William Drummond for a machine
composed of a number OF muskets
Joined together, by the aid of which,
the inventor stated, two soldiers could
oppose a hundred. II was named the

was soon abandoned.
II vas in 1851 hat Calling oon-
ceived the Idea OF a revolving battery
gun. and the following yea he built
the first of his death dealing ma
chimes at Indianapolis. Suisse
Quently twelve were made and used
by Gen. Butler on the James river.
in Virginia. with fair success. In
1866 Calling further improved his in
vention and. after satisfactory trials
at Washington and Fort Monroe. II
was adopted by the United States
government. In 1857 eating exhib-
tied his machine at Paris. but Euro
pean military experts were not at first
disposed to admit It's value although
later IL was adopted by nearly all Eu-
ropean nations. Calling established a
plant ct Hartford. where he devoted
himself to the perfection and manu-
facture OF his formidable weapon.
Many other inventors have since eff
fected improvements. and the Brown
ling gun used by American Expedi-
tionary forces in France Is q vastly
more effective weapon. but the Cat
ling was the original type OF success

Say, won't my boy be full of pride
To see me fightin' by his side?
For me and him alone can lick
Most all the Dutch across the crtck.

ANDREW MACK HERB: IN ROMANTIC IRISH
 PLAY, MOLLY DEAR"
Noted Tenor Booked for Three Days at Jefferson Theatre, Beginning

Romance of the most delightful quality, begemmed with sparkling Irish wit and humor, is the atmos- phere that one gets in Molly Dear" which Manager Walter Sanford will present at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with matinee Thursday, and Andrew Maclzs performance of the clever Irish American secret service man is in keeping with it all.
 Sympathetic and lf-sacrificing to the last degree and with heart Of gold the rollicking, fun-loving sleuth puts duty above all else, but man. ages to find way out of difficulties that seem an unsolvable problem. The author has chosen the wild coast of the west of Ireland as a setting for his scenes. Here we find Dan O'Brien detective from New York, on the track of one Tom Kelly, who has held up a train in Montana and robbed the express car after killing the messen- ger. The local authorities have got on the scent of a murder that took place ill these mountains and have retained O'Brien. to. help them solve the mys- tery. Dan takes the case. incidentally, but manages to fall in love with pret- ty Molly Kavanaugh, the belle of a lonely fishing village. He learns a lit- tie later on that the slayer he is seek ing is none other than Molly's broth CT. There is a struggle in his soul between love for Molly and his duty How he solves the puzzle, gets Terry Kavanaugh out of the scrape and wins the girl of his heart form the prin- cipal points of the story.
 MT. DeMille is said to have caught the spirit of the people in his treat- ment of the story and has filled his scenes with quaint and interesting characters. As the period is that of the present day all of the characters are those with which we are very fa- miliar and our understanding of them makes their humor more delightful The songs of MT. Mack lend additional interest to the performance and among the numbers he will introduce are two of his latest compositions, Its Long, Long Way to My Own Home Town" and "Tis You, Only You, That Love" The supporting com pany is strong one and the names on the roster comprise Peggy Allen, Irene Gordon.
