Well said Williams, I hereby ap-
point you assistant whip of the minority
in the house of representatives. Many
members of the house have risen TO

great things from you
The next day the Washington papers
contained a photograph of representative
Joseph F. O'COnnen, of Boston, and an
announcements that he mad been appoint
ed assistant whip of the minority. When
Williams appeared at the capitol we
showed him the paper. He blinked.

Foreign noblemen seeking American
heiresses are TO be taxed. Indirectly. If
representative SABBATH. of Illinois. can
have his way. Mr.. SABBATH thinks il is
worth while 10 do something TO discour-
age the expectation of American for

Immediately after the holidays, a bill
TO impose a graduated tax on dowries.
.af the tax should be imposed at the
rates Mr.. SABBATH proposes, 1t would I'M
dOubtedly have a serious effect on the
prospects Of needy noblemen, for il
would tax dowries of $1,000, 900 or mo-
at the rate Of 20 percent. The rate at

Nicaragua has practically the same
area as the state of New York and its
population is about equal TO that Of

about 1000 inhabitants. The principal

many cases means the nomination

MOVING PICTURES.

Since the Jsf'ries-Johnson fight
almost every newspaper We have
seen has had a say regarding the
prevention of the pictures being
given at the various places OF
amusement in the country, and
in almost every case they have
expressed approval where steps
have been taken to prevent the
showing of the pictures.
1t is doubtless more impressive
to see the moving picture Of an
occurrence than read a descrip-
ton of it, but for one we see lit
tie difference in having a moving
picture exhibition and the show
ing of the fight as it occurred
and the write-ups that have APP
peared in the same papers that
condemn the showing of the
fight.
We would, indeed, have a bet
ter opinion of the paper that was
consistent in the matter and re-
fused to publish pictures of the
fight and give a detailed descrip-
ton of every round. 1t is not
consistent for the reason that
the paper goes into the home cir
Gle where the moving picture
show can never 60, and goei
along with other matter tina
people want to read, and j
thrust before the family in
way the moving picture show ca
never be thrust. The moyini
picture shows have done much t
educate people In scenes Of man
places they will never be able I
visit and so has the newspape
been instrumental in telling pei
pie Of things they would nevt
have heard, and both are instr
ments that can accomplish mucl
but We see no reason for turnin
down one on such matters ar
letting the other have full swa.
