The Republican party is now
on the verge of collapse accord
ing to the Democratic newspa.
pers. ard Judging from the con-
gress there is some hope that it
is true, but in our opinion, the
Democrats are taking too much
JUNCTION to their souls because Of
the recent elections held in New
York and Massachusetts, in which
the nominees of the Democratic
party won. It must be remeu-
bered that in both of these cases
there was a revolt against the
Republican nominee, and not
against the party. In New
York the Republicans had nomi-
mated one Of the Bosses. and the
rank and file would not stand for
it, and as a rebuke the Democrat
was elected, being voted for by
the Republicans. The voters up
north are independent and when
their own party puts forward an
Objectionable man in an off.year
especially, they record their OBJ
lection with the ballot.

well, and be careful vino they en-
trust with their political affairs,
mark US, it will rot be many
years before the common, ordi-
nary white man, will have to ask
for the privilege Of being man,
and the grant will come from the
set who have robbed him of his
birth right.
We say let our voting require
ments in the primary alone, it is
the only place the average nan
can feel be is the equal Of the best.
but take it away, and he is put on
the level with the negro whose
right to vote must come from his
having complied with the law that
conditions forced Us to enact; the
white man on the other hand &C
complishes his political rights,
not through the general election,
but through the white mans par
ty primary where he was prom
ised equal rights.
# Mr.. Crisis scheme succeeds
it will no. only deprive the labor
ing people from political privil-
eyes, bat the right to sit on the
jury is taken from him also, for
under the constitution no man is
eligible for jury dlSy who is not
registered voter. Do the people
want this? We think not.

technical lawyer who for q price,
manufactured e;.idence for the
man that hired him, is more to
blame than the jury, for Jurors
are sworn to go by the law and
the evidence, and when a lawyer
presents to the jury evidence,
false though it is, the jury has
that to frame a verdict upon.
Then too, it IS the fault of the
people when they les so many
lawyers get into the law making
bodies, they confuse and befuddle
the law so that instead Of it being
so the ordinary layman can com.
prehend it, when it is given from
the judge to the jury, it is such d
complicated mass Of contradic-
sions that the jury cannot under
stand it, and neither do the law

CENSORSHIP OF
MOTION PICTURES
A FAMILY AMUSEMENT STEADILY
DEVELOPING AWAY FROM SEN
SATIONALlSM.

The following is an abstract or the
speech of John Collier of the National
Board of Censorship of Moving Pic
lures of New York City, delivered to-
day before the Annual Congress OF the
Playground Associations being held
in Rochester, New York.
The motion pic,uIe show has in
ten years become numerically the pre-
dominant form of the American thea
ire. In the entire country there are
l,4l0 regular theatres, with a seating
capacity OF l,376,GOO playing to a daily
audience of about $4,000. There are
10000 motion picture theatres with a
seating capacity of about 5000 00C
and a daily audience of not less than
2,225OOO the year round. The regular
theatre plays largely to the adult. The
motion picture show plays largely to
a family audience, to an audience OF
wage earners and immigrants to an
audience 20 per cent Of whom are
under sixteen years of age. Over 40,-
600 children attend motion picture
shows in America each day. Because
the motion picture is family amuse
ment it almost never contains any
thing of an obscene nature. 1t is
steadily developing away from sensa-
tionalism.
The board of Censorship today
passes on 80 per cent of the motion
picture films marketed in America.
Most of the well known fairy tales
have been beautifully done in motion
pictures. Shakespeare, Victor Hugo,
poems like Hiawatha, Enoch Arden,
Bible episodes, problem plays of con
temporary life, have been put in mo-
tion pictures. Several thousand mo.
ton pictures have been made dealing
with biology, botany, chemistry, COM
mercial geography.
The initial cost of installing no-
tion pictures in the New York City
public schools would be a half-million
dollars. Motion pictures must in time

Is It Necessary to Join a Church?


EVANGELIST Brown spoke last evening
at the Christian church on "A ShJf;
Yard Stick" There were five adj
tions to the church and quite a number
We're baptized. 1t was one of the best
services OF the revival.
A woman said to Mr.. Spurgeon five
years after he had preached in Ger
tain chapel in London, "Thau was the
greatest sermon | have ever heard
sun she did not know his text Or
word he said. He was surprised 20
know the estimate she put upon mis-
sermon when she had forgotten all OF
it. She said, Il do not remember Il
word you said. but | know that | went
home and broke that short yard stick
in my store and put one in the proper
length" The sermons that do the
most good are the ones that cause us
to quit our meanness.
When YOU advertise eighteen pounus
of sugar to the dollar be sure that you
weigh out eighteen pounds instead Of
fifteen as / have known of people do
ing. You owe it to your customer to-
deal justly with him. How about your
measure. Is your yardstick the prop
er length?
We owe it to our children TO see
that they are surrounded by proper
influences. They think that what
ever father does is alright. 1t ought
to be but | am sorry to say it ire
quently is not. Your boy should be
sent to college or university where
his faith will not be destroyed When
you take away the faith in Christ you
have robbed him of the only thing
that can bring him comfort in his de-
Ginning days.
All that we have OF expect to have
comes to us as u result of Christ's
death. Our public schools, our hospi-
tails, our asymms, our orphanagos ana
a thousand and one other things are
unknown where Christ has not gone.
If he has done so much for us We
certainly ought to be willing to render
obedience to him.
is it Necessary to Join Church -
will be the theme for this evening.
The revival will close Sunday evening
and Monday evening, Mr.. Brown wll
deliver his noted lecture on. Optimism
and Pessimism.' IT is said that you
will split your sides laughing at this
lecture. Saturday evening there will
be a stereoptican lecture ON Japan.
