I The death of Senator Bacon, who was I chairman of the great foreign relations committee, places Senator Shively second to the coming chairman, Senator William Stone, who has i been seriously 111 for some time. This will give Senator Shively active charge of the committee which has j to do with the Mexican situation and > with formulating treaties with Japan. Great Britain. Italy, Spain. Norway, Sweden. Switzerland and Portugal.' which are attracting world-wide attention. Senator Shively, therefore,! becomes a conspicuous figure in th**j world politics and his long experience in congress with international ques- 1 tions eminently qualifies him for this I distinguished trust. With Senator, Shively at the head of the senate’s! most important committee. Senator! Kern, the official leader of the legis-j lative program in the senate, and with * Vice President Marshall in the preoutlassee any other state in the union I hold in the I’nited States senate i When the late Senator Bacon's illness ; became critical and Senator Stone, I who is to succeed Senator Bacon as ’ chairman, was reported seriously at I dieted. President Wilson sent for Sc*, ator Shively and laid upon him th* | great responsibility of taking charge of tlie intricate complications in our international affairs. It is a serious and extraordinary responsibility but the friends of the distinguished Indiena senator are assured that he will be equal to the emergency and that his diplomacy and learned statesman-' ship will bring rare honor to his state; as well as himself.- Ft.

Possibly one of the best features seen at the Lyric this season will be the attraction today. A Puritan storywritten by Richard V. Spencer, entitled “The Curse." 1 his is a wonderful production in which several thousand persons take part. The story of "The Curse" is as follows: Jim, the son of Farley, the tavern keeper, and idol of his mother's heart, is in love with Faith Cole, daughter of Captain Cole, who leaves on a whaling expedition. Faith does not favor Jim, but encourages Richard, a young man of the settlement. Jim goes to his mother with his tale of woe and the old lady determines to get even with Faith by putting the curse of witchcraft on her. She builds a Are in the woods and dresses in a witch’s costume and is seen by a Puritan, returning from the mill with a sack of flour. The man is so frightened that he drops the flour and runs. The old lady makes a trail of flour to Faith’s door. Faith is nursing the child of a poor fisherman, Mildred, who dies. The Farley woman incites the village people into arresting Faith, who is tried and found guilty. A new governor arrives on the day of the execution. who is prejudiced against capital punishment for witchcraft, and orders all imprisoned for that crime pardoned and banished from the settlement. This frees Faith and she and Richard prepares to leave the village. In the meantime the Indians have attacked the village and are just about to destroy the settlement. Armed men coming from the ship on which the governor arrives, puts the Indians to flight and the story closes with a pretty picture of Faith and Richard leaving for the next colony to take up their abode. In connection with the feature "The Curse," there will be a thrilling western picture "Fate’s j Round up." The price for today will be five cents to all. Next Friday will be children's day at the Lyric. "Jack and the Bean Stalk" will be the at j traction.

They reason if he saves for himself, he will save for them —and it’s pretty shrewd reasoning, too. We want all these boy*—we want to see more of these young hustlers her*.
