by the Murderous Brutality OF the
Law Of Capital Punishment

This tremendously vital cinema dra-
ma so thrillingly yisualized by Lois
Weber almost chills the bloods with its
story OF an innocent mans narrow es-
cape from the electric chair. Nor Is
II lurid dream OF the dramatist In
vited for the sake Of thrilling
movie
Already there have been too many
similar shocking cases In the legal
history of this country. Innocent men
have been executed for crimes they
never committed. The recent Bam-
brick case In New York State, when n
mere boy was electrocuted for a crime
which many believe he never COM
mitted, is still remembered.
This thrilling picture will be shown
at the Majestic Theatre. December q

Lord Robert Cecil among the number

have found it. With the feeling be-

succeeded in London. Mr.. Davis, who

A Mild March Flareback.

So mild has been the winter that
the high wind and heavy rain, with
a dash Of snow at night, came as a
shock and surprise yesterday. It
was q typical March performance, a
characteristic lashing Of the lions tail.
Though the conditions we're just right
for serious destruction, the rain laden
gale caused only slight damage, for.
tunately. The temperature dropped
to the freezing point, but little in
jury was done to the budding shrubs
and plants in the parks and gardens.
The city, indeed, escaped fortunately
from visitation that might have been
disastrous. These flarebacks at this
season Of the year are not unusual.
They have occurred from time to time
to upset important plans. Perhaps the
most notable of them in recent. times
was the amentable backfire of winter
on the Sd of March, 1909, which spoiled
the Inauguration Of President Taft as
an outdoor spectacle. It is just such
freaks that give force to the argu-
mens for a change Of the inaugural
date to the last Thursday in April.

The Merchant Marine.

Senator Fletcher of Florida, who was
chairman of the commerce committee
in the last Senate, and will head the
minority Of the committee in the new
Senate, is opposed to 'any immediate
action by the government toward FIX
ing definite policy for the new mer-
chant marine" He says:
"Private shipping interests now have
a fund for the purchase of our ships,
and are waiting to take them over.
do not believe we should adopt that
policy at this time, nor do / believe
that any change should be made now.
1t should be the policy Of the gov
eminent to withhold it's decision for
the present and continue to build ships.
l do not favor turning over our ships
to private ownership where the writing
off OF. 9 loss to the government is in
volved."
Some policy should be fixed ut an
early day. If ws are to realize eur
expectations as to foreign trade, and
take place as sea carrying power,
there is no time to lose. Our fiSals
will soon be in keller again. England,
with definite policy, is stirring. With
opportunity, Germany could soon be
ready. Japan has kept up her lick
all through the war, and hence, now
that the war is over, will Be a more
eager bidder as a sea carrier than
ever. We cannot afford to letter.
Our problem il not easy Of solution
1t grows, Of course, out of the war.
The war threw the matter of ships into
the hands of the government. A mer-
chant marine, properly so-ealled, was
not then the question. Transport var
service was. Hence, If this service ~as
to be rendered the government must
build tho ships. II was 50 ordefed;
and many ships, Sosernment built and

A merchant marine is now the eues-

Be conducted either By the govern
