The Butterfly Development of Senator
 BaIley.

When Senator Bailey of Texas first went to Washington it was as q hum- ble member of the house of repre- sentativcs. For a long time he re- fused to wear dress coat and if he deigned to grace d social function q long Prince Albert" black string tie, and black slouch hat were dis tinguishing features of his garb. He arose early, and was indignant to find that congress did not meet in daily session until noon. He pro- tested with true Jeffersonian fervor against this waste of time and against the social exactions which kept con- gressmen up so late that they were not ready for work until the middle of next day.
 But gradually q change came over Mir Bailey's habits. He accommodated himself to congressional late hours. but he valiantly stuck to the Prince Albert" and the black string tie and the black slouch hat-until he became d senator Meanwhile. he had be- come wealthy-his enemies say by and through fortuitous connection with the financial pipe line of the Standard Oil company With wealth there came to the Texas senator an enlightened view of social Washington. He be- came q brilliant figure at social func- tions. and he was a very Apollo in d swallowtaf Last Of all. he con cluded that. instead of meeting too late, congress-or at least the senate. for he was concerned only with the august body of which he was mem- ber-was meeting too early. Noon was an uncarthly early hour to begin legislation.
 So. a few weeks ago, Senator Bailey introduced a resolution providing that the senate should convene at D. m., daily At first the proposition was re- ceived with some derision. and it seemed improbable that the senate would seriously consider it. The con- mittee on rules has. however, reported favorabIy on the resolution, and the present outlook is that very shortly the senate will abandon the time honored custom of meeting at noon and meet at 2 in the afternoon. in- stead.
 All of which goes to show what few years at Washington will do for q Texas democrat.

The Picture Business.

When Thomas Edison invented the "mutascope" and brought motion pie lures into actual being. he looked upon the invention as little more than an amusing novelty. He had no idea that he had given something to the world which would revolutionize the amusement business. The develop ment of this form of entertainment has. reached such proportions that II now dwarfs all other forms of amuse- ment. in the matter of money invest ed and daily attendance
 In the United States alone the moving picture trust represents an investment of approximately one hun- dred millions of dollars. Professor Charles Spraguc Smith of Columbia university. who has been gathering in- formation on the subject. estimates that in this country million people attend moving picture shows every day. This. he says. is four times the number that IS TepTeSciit'u a' o' '
 CT forms Of entertainment.
 The picture show has become d preat educational power. and its inn portance is opening the eyes oi the people to the necessity of some form of censorship. It has become fre- quent thing for the police ot thc cities to report that this or that case of juvenile burglary or other crime had it's inspiration in picture shows. Pictures which captivate youngsters and at the same time make a joke of crime. and pictures which present Tn attractive form the coarse sides of life should be forbidden.
