When that law is violated the nation
which submits to indignity through
such violation is like the man who,
after being taxed, after giving his own
obedience and his own moral support
to the laws of his country, permits an-
other to harm him in defiance of these
laws. To attempt to arbitrate an in-
fraction of the laws of nations is as
ridiculous as to Arbitrate a bank rob-

barrassment of our Government with
such petitions as tho pacifists propose
to offer is undesirable, to say the
least.
If this country is not to protect its
citizens, there can be little value to
American citizenship. We have bees

an American to his country) but if we
owe our country service, it is also true
that it owes us protection. To leave
to courts made up of citizens of for-
eign countries the protection of Amer-
icans is to attack the very foundations
of patriotism.
Men obey laws which may often in-
terfere with their liberties, because un-
der those laws they find protection
tor themselves and their tamilles. Men
assume the obligations of citizenship,
submit to taxation, to service which
imperils their lives and to laws whieh
may not always appear just to them,
because they expect protection from
the Government they support with
their toil or with their blood. That

It is reasonable to assume that the ad-

say that "Intolerance" far surpasses
Mr. Griffith's former masterpiece is but
to repeat the unanimous opinion of the
press in the East In San Francisco
and in Los Angeles, where it is now
being shown to capacity audiences.
Certainly as a spectacle it is without
except I ton the most marvelous pro-
duction of stage or screen. In It Mr.
Senate committee on agriculture has
made a favorable report on the Gibson
bill reorganizing the statewarehouse
and marketing law and amending tho
law. The Gibson bill is somewhat dif-
ferent from the Tillotson bill, or rather
the committee substitute for the Til-
lotson bill. The Gibson bill provides
for only one warehouse manager,. in-
stead of two as at present; the sam-
pling feature is made optional. and shall
be made by the ginner except when re-
quested not to do so by the owner of
the cotton, while the House committee
substitute provides that no sampling of
the cotton shall bo taken except upon
the written request of the owner of
the staple, while the present law makes
it compulsory to take three samples.
There is every Indication of the final
passage by the Legislature of the West
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege bill, the House having passed the
Metcalfe bill on this subject and the
Senate committee has already made a
favorable report on the bill. The House
bill is to be substitated for the Senat
bill, as both are said to be identical.
"Public taste has changed since I
was here last," decared Marv Marble
of the well known Chip and Marble
team. "You know I have been com-
ing through this part of the country
a long time—ever since I was here with
Eddie Foy in Off the Earth.'”

The pacifists, by their activity at thin
Uma, may very well make themselves
ridiculous and set back their cause
many yeara The first step toward
such activity as will probably cause
the public to regard them as a nuis-
ance, has already been. taken In the
mganization of a federation which
win urge that demands for repara-
tion for injuries to Americans be de-
ferred until after the war. This fed-
eration also urges a referendum lo
the people on the question of declaring
war.
Whatever one may think of these
proposals this is no time to discuss
them. The nation already is commit-
ted to a definite course and can not
turn back without incurring the con
tempt of the world and imperilling for
all time the rights of American citi-
sens. It may be only a few days be
yers and bring experts here to appear
before the commission. It would hurt
the smaller companies much more than
the large companies. Railroad Com-
missioner Hurdleston, who was present,
said that the commission could ad-
minister the law. but that it would
require additional help. The bill will
likely receive a favorable report.

From many directions and consid-
erable distances, mail orders have been
coming in to Manager Wallace of the
Majestic Theatre for the coming en-
gagement of the Boston National
Grand Opera Company on Saturday.
Feb. 10. The radius of these communi-
cations extends to about fifty miles
north. south,east and west, on all rail-
road lines entering Austin. This dem-
onstration of this city’s importance as
a musical center is most gratifying. for
it will doubtless result in the return
of this famous organization every sea-
son for an annual engagement here.
These mail orders are being-filled in
the order received, while the regular
advance sale of seats at the Majestic
box office is open to local opera -goers.
The Austin Grand Opera committee
has chosen two most attractive offer-
ings for the introduction of this or-
ganization here. Puccini's beautiful “Ta
Boheme" being scheduled for the
Matinee and Verdi’s splendid "Aida”
for the night performance.
A favorable report lias been made by
the Senate committee on civil jurispru-
dence on the bill by Senator Bailey
increasing the fees of Sheriffs in fel-
ony cases in counties of 40,000 and less;
the principal increase being n the mile-
age allowed Sheriffs. At present the
amount is 5 cents'a mile, while the bill
increases this to 15 cents. A slfght In-
crease is also allowed to Sheriffs in
criminal cases when bonds are required
to be made. The companion bill to
this one by the same author, allowing
an incrense of fees in civil cases, was
killed. This committee also made a
favorable report on the bill by Johns-
ton of Harris, requiring landlords to
file notice with the County Clerk when
the rent of a tenant is in arrears three
months.

' During her stock engagement, Miss
। Bunting has presented some standard
successes and it will be her endeavor
to follow them with such plays as
have been thoroughly tried out and of
proven worth. With this end in view
she has been busy selecting a num-
ber of plays that will please her pa-
trona Aftr considerable correspond-
once she has selected as her next pre-
sentation the comedy written by the
late Clyde Fitch, which made quite
a sensation when it was first produced
in New York. "Girls" is essentially a
comedy, with a good story, sparkling
dialogue and dramatic effect It telle ,
the storv of three bachelor girls who
room together and work in various of-
fices. They elect Pam their leader ane
resolve never to accept attentions or
offers of marriage from any man, but
to remain free from the domlnance of
the sterner sex throughout their ivey.
Their ideas receive a startling shock
when a young man about town, with
ideas of his own, very much opposed
to theirs, is suddenly projected into
their midst How they are gradually
led to take a broader view of life and
lay aside their prejudices Is best told
in the play. There is an old maid who
dotes On all men, a typical janitor of
a city apartment house,, a grouchy
lawyer’s clerk, an old man wedded to
a society wife looking for a divorce
and other clever characters deftly in-
terwoven.
Miss Bunting is irristibly humorous
as the junior member of the man-hat-
ing trio and all the artifices of this
talented little actress are brought into
play. Mr. Whitaker, as the man, has
an excellent part wherein his talent
will have full scope. Miss Sargent,
Miss Harcourt, Mr. Fried kin. Mr. Men-
love, Miss Ryan, Mr. Bond and all the
members of the company will be seen
in congenial comedy^roles.

Here is a story that throbs and

An extraordinary comedy offering is

The coal mines provide many curiosi-
