NORTH SHORE BREEZE 13 
Tue AcQuitaL OF Berniss by the Russian jury was 
not altogether foreseen. On the eve of the jury receiv- 
ing the case the whole world was in doubt as to the 
decision to be rendered and. thereon hung the interest 
_ of every lover of justice both sides of the great sea. The 
case was unfortunate as there was introduced into it a 
form of rligious prejudice and persecution particularly 
distasteful to the American people. Beiliss, a Jew, was 
the victim, probably, of religious animosities. He was 
accused of murder for the religious motive of obtaining 
blood to be used for sacrificial purposes. The attack was 
personal in that it affected the life of Beiliss but it was 
facial in that it accused the Hebrew race of tolerating 
murder in its religious observances. Apart from the 
ilt or innocence of Beiliss the accusation was a marked 
example of old world intolerance and bigotry. The He- 
brew race has never required any ritualistic service that 
suggests the heinous rites jattributed to it by certain wit- 
nesses in that trial. The acquital of Beiliss is fortunate! 
Who could have foreseen the terrible consequences of 
the opposite verdict. It would officially proclaim to the 
entire Russian world that Hebrews were under suspicion 
of requiring human blood in their sacrifices. It would 
have opened the flood gates of Russian fury. Who could 
measure the untold agony that that already persecuted 
tace would have been forced to have endured? ‘The ver- 
dict acquitting Beiliss was indeed fortunate for the pris- 
oner, for the Jewish race and for the honor of Russian 
. justice. 
Tur Worps “PLAYING THE GAME” come into usage 
from the ball field and have in them a world of signifi- 
cance, but it was left for Eleanor Porter in the new book, 
“Pollyanna,” to give it a new twist. “Playing the Game” 
to the heroine of the interesting narrative is, to see 
something to be glad about in everything, no matter how 
difficult the situation. The harder the game is to play 
the better it is for the player. With this thread of phil- 
osophy the author has written ian effective little book 
that will be good for grouchy spirits. Is there not much 
in that “glad game” that is really applicable to every 
day life? After one has had an experience ef life is not 
the greatest lesson that one learns that in everything 
there is a bright side? The little heroine caHed it the 
glad game. Emerson called it the law of compensation. 
The philosophers name it optimism. A glad game, com- 
pensation or optimism, it is a worthy asset of person- 
ality. ‘There will be many happy lives lived more hap- 
pily if human nature could only learn the life giving art 
of seeing the best in everything and making the best of 
every situation, however disconcerting it may appear. 
Tut Proposed MeMorIAL Srevick in honor of Dr. 
Reginald Heber Fitz, late of Manchester and Boston, at 
the Harvard Medical school is merited. The service this 
mian rendered to humanity can never be forgotten. His 
research has immortalized him; there is nothing more 
that can be said to add to his honor.

THE Empire THEATRE, SALEM 
“Over Night” a farcial comedy in 
three acts by Philip H, Bartholomae, 
will be presented by the Empire 
Stock Company at the Empire Thea- 
tre all next week, except Wednesday. 
The play was originally produced at 
the Hackett Theatre in New York 
city, where it had a successful run of 
nine months. The delightful con- 
trast of characters, the simple, 
straightforward telling of the story, 
and the humor of the situations pro- 
duce a very amusing and holding 
farce. Although it is a satire of the 
suffragette and certain prevalent 
modes of thought, it is a humor that 
laughs with, not at, and proves in its 
own way the “one finds the eternal 
feminine in every suffragette.” 
The story of ‘‘Over Night” deals 
with the rather unusual experiences 
of two married couples on their hhon- 
eymoon. Mr. Kettle who has been 
used to doing as he has been told, 
marries a suffragette. Percy Darling, 
who always does as he pleases, mar- 
ries a lady who is perfectly willing to 
lean on the men. Both couples start 
up the Hudson River on their honey- 
moon, but in the haste of departure 
their luggage is left behind,
