and the elimination of the little human inter
est details deaden the spirit of the story.
The novelty of film dramas once worn off,
the public it is feared, may return to real
flesh and blood plays, unless something
new is discovered by moving picture people.
What will it be? The one-hour drama,
some one suggests. A combination of vision
and voice, the joining of talking machine
and moving picture forces, is the prophecy
of another The reproduction in film of
plays with a Broadway run back of them is
a third possibility. One manager is working
to incorporate in his films some social or
economic thesis, so as to provide for the
moving picture public a modern problem
play. These are all conjectures, though, ex
periments, which may or may not work sue
cessfuly. Those who have their fingers on
the pulse of public demand have discovered
one thing clearly, and that is the general
craving for information.
The quest for knowledge was never
stronger than it is to-day, and at the same
time no institution was ever in a more adj
mirable position to meet the public demand
than the moving picture theater. Thou
sands of scientific, historical. and scenic films
have been prepared by number of French
manufacturers. One or two American firms
have caught the spirit. Every conceivable
subject is covered in these lists, and before
another year slips by the educational film
may be the general choice. The moving
picture theater of the future may indeed
become the poor mans university.

too great, an accident or dramatic situa-
ton is shown by " suggestion rather than
by stimulation" In one of the recent films
the heroine's horse runs away. The hero,
of course, is hot in pursuit. but, in attempt
ing to save the girl, both are thrown, the
man being horribly trampled upon by the
horses This could scarcely be simulated in
the picture; so the fact that the accident
has occurred is conveyed with convincing
effect in one picture by the actions of the
spectators and in the next by the sight of the
victims lying on the ground and the horses
running off riderless.
Thinks 1t Won't Last
DANIEL FROHMAN expressed the opin-
- ion not long ago that the moving picture
would not last. Admitting that it was still
in transitory stage and would undoubtedly
increase in interest and merit within the
next years, his prophecy was that ulti-
mately it would gradually fall into disfavor
and oblivion. Naturally, being theatrical
manager himself, his wish was father to the
word; yet his position lends authority to
his views.
The moving picture is in state of transi-
ton. Its development has been wonderful,
it is true; but only as compared with its
start. 1t may be that the present tabloid
film drama will before long lose its present
hold upon public favor. Human passions,
hopes, and sorrows are subjects far too large
to be treated adequately in even thousand
feet of film. The concentration of the plot

witchery in the night. The moonbeams were
playing at hide and seek among the lilac

the oaks, incrusting with jewels the gossa-
mer webs that had already been spread
along the lawns in token of fair weather,-in
the shadows, mystery, in the lights, illusion,
and in the air. the scent of myriad of hidden
blossoms. Only herself and the man beside
her were real. She was conscious that his
hand clasped hers and his lips murmured at
her ear, gently, persuasively, with note
that awoke to life again an echo of the sound
every woman must hear, the note that
Natalie had always so resolutely stiled. She
was almost ready to believe too that this

It is not an easy task to get
ahead of the high-price game.
The shoe men say that they must
raise the price of shoes because
meat is so high that people are
not eating it and in consequence
the packers are not killing so
many cattle and hides are scarce.
And hides are on the free list,
too, and the tariff on boots and
shoes was cut to the bone. A

creamery districts of New York
says that the farmers there are

their butter.

The plans for the Canadian
navy have been sufficiently de-
veloped to indicate that it is pro-
posed to start with a modest
$15,OOO,0OO appropriation. In
these days of Imperial Dread
noughts this appropriation will
not go far. 1t will go far enough,
however, to give our friends
across the border a taste of what
it costs to become a power on the
seas. The naval programme of
the Dominion government may
yet be a source of much trouble
to Canada in it's dealings with
the people who pay the taxes.

President Taft's message deal
ing with the problem of conserv-
ing the natural resources of the
country is a clear and practical
statement. 1t is squarely in line
with the ideas advanced by Mr..
Roosevelt and meets the demands
for legislation made by Secretary
Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot. If
the recommendations of the
President are enacted into law a
great forward step will be taken
to protect in the interest of the
people the forests, coal lands,
water power sites and other nat
ural resources, which, under ex-
isting law, are in danger of slip
ping from government control
into private hands. In his hand
ling of the conservation question
Mr.. Taft has given added evi-
dence that he is no mere theorist.
The keynote of his message was
contained in an Introductory par
agraph in which he said: "The
problem is how to save and how |
to utilize, how to conserve and |
still develop: for no sane person
can contend that it is for the
common good that Natures bless
ings are only for unborn genera

Arrangements have been made
by the War Department for the
maneuvers to be held in various
parts of the country during the
coming summer. It is expected
that Congress will appropriate
81, 350,0O0 for these joint maneu-
vers in which the regular forces
and the state militia participate.
An allotment will be made of
$3.50, 600 for coast defense exer-
cises, to be held at forts along
the coast in the neighborhood of
the big cities and in which a lin
tied force of state militia will
participate. The schedule which
has been prepared embraces a
larger force than has hitherto
been engaged in these exercises.
The Department is convinced
that the gathering together in
joint practice of state and regu-
lar soldiers works a great benefit
to both classes of soldiers.

The announcement that Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes of New
York will retire to private life at
the close of his present term
means a distinct loss to the pub
lie service of the nation as we'll
as to the Empire state. In his
short career as executive of New
York Mr.. Hughes has become a
national figure. His efforts in
behalf of clean government end
for higher ideals in the public
service have brought concrete
legislative results in his own
state and have had a salutary in
fluence on legislation in many
states. He has been progressive
without being radical and force
full without being dictatorlal.
He went into Office with no polit-
ical machine at his back and ne
did not bend to the wishes Of the
political bosses either in his ap-
pointments to office or in his rec
concentrations for legislation.
No chief executive of New
York since Mr.. Tilden has I'M
pressed his individuality on the
nation as has Mr.. Hughes. In
the last presidential campaign
his speaking tour of the West
was a continuous ovation. His
keen and lawyer-like analysis OF
the Bryan's panaceas won for
the Republican national ticket
thousands of votes in strong
Democratic territory. Every
step he has since taken has in
creased his hold on the admira-
tion of the country. Even his
political opponents agree that IN
talents and character he is second
to no man in public life.
The announced reason for the
retirement of Governor Hughes
is that he desires to return to his
profession in order to provide a
competence for his family. He
is not a wealthy man and the
duties of his high Office have
made it necessary for him to
draw on his private fortune.
Doubtless many public spirited
citizens of New York would be
only too glad to raise a fund to
provide an ample future income
for the Governors family, but it
goes without saying that this sug-
gestion would find no favor with |
the New York executive.
Gov. Hughes is still a young |
man and if he keeps his health
and strength his retirement from
the governorship will not close
his career as a public official. A
year or so hence the Republican
party will be in search of a lead
sr to take up the Roosevelt and
Taft policies and it is not at all
that the men of
hought and strength in the par
y will look to Charles E. Hughes

Washington Letter.

L
drafted bill to authorize the is
suance to the states of patents
for public lands which are chiefly |
valuable for the development of |
water power. The measure is an
outgrowth of the discussions at |
the recent conference of govern
ors held in Washington and is
aimed to meet the demands OF
those who insist that the states
and not the general government
shall assume control of this phase
of the conservation problem. Mr..
Carter is one of the strong men
in Congress, an able debater and
an experienced legislator. AS
chairman of the Committee on
Irrigation he made a careful and
exhaustive inquiry last year of
the public domain of the West
and he is regarded as being well
equipped to discuss and defend
his measure to give the states
control of the development of
water powers.
The Carter bill differs funda-
mentally from that drafted by
the Secretary of the Interior,
with the approval of the Presi-
dent, and introduced by Senator
Nelson. The Nelson bill provides
that the government shall retain
title to all power sites on the pub
lie domain, granting only ease
ments thereon and in such way as
to prevent their union for pur-
poses of monopoly with other
sites. The right of use is to be
limited to forty years, with means
for determining a graduated rem
tai, and with provision for fixing
the terms of renewal.
It is proposed in the Carter bill
that the federal government shall
give these lands outright to the
states, which would thereafter
handle and control them for po-
wer development. The bill pro-
vides also that the states shall
never ALLEVIATE the fee simple IT,
tie to the land and shall reserve
the right to fix the rental rates
based on capacity for power de-
velopment. The state is also to |
regulate the price to be charged |
for the electric current generated |
by the water power.
1t is apparent that a great le-
gal battle will be fought out in
Congress before the question of
the rights of the states and the
federal government respecting
water power control is finally
settled. This problem has given
the National Waterways Commits
sion more trouble than all the
other questions that have arisen
before that Commission. It is
possible that some of the
from the great land
states of the far West will line

There are signs of a widespread
and vigorous campaign against
the proposed legislation to in
crease the postage rates on mag
azines with a view to wiping up
the deficit in the Postofice De-
partment. Certain magazines
have already begun to send out
circulars to their advertisers and
subscribers denouncing the plan.
A number of these circulars have
found their way to members of
Congress and a greater number
of letters from constituents based
on these circulars have come to
the Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads. Hearings on the pro-
posed legislation began on Janu-
ary 26 and it is expected that a
number of the leading magazines
will send representatives to
Washington to enter an emphatic
protest at that time.
