MOVING S.
Article From Christian World, Pub.
lished at Cleveland, o.

Next to motor car comes the NOV
ing picture as a phase of interest and
a source of influence in our American
life today. If you are not convinced
of it read these figures vouched for
by the Review of Reviews.
I'm New York City, the moving pic
ture center of the world, there are
ESQ shows against only 76 regular
theaters. Some of the latter include
moving pictures on their bills.
The chief combination of manufac-
turers produce 10000 feet a week of
new films-of which eighty copies
apiece must be made. Mr.. Edison's
royalty, begun only recently, amounts
from this source to an income of
$4,000 a week, The middlemen
s. 1000, coo for films, which the former
rem at $4,000, 600 a year to the act
ual exhibitors or showmen. They in
turn collect nickels and dimes in 1909
at their 10000 ticket windows,
amounted to So, 800, 600. And these
audiences numbered more than two
and a quarter million souls per day
three times the audience of all the
regular theaters in America put to-
gether!"
Far from being necessarily an evil,
the moving picture show, under the
proper control and direction, may be
made a decided factor in our educa-
tional scheme.
There are, of course, possible evils
incident to it, and against which it
must be guarded.
The character of the pictures
shown may be hurtful to the moral
and debasing in their influence upon
the standards of the community. The
evils that have come to be closely
linked with the drama-legitimate in
itself-may be fastened upon the era
of the film.
These shows, if permitted to be
opened on Sunday, will contribute to-
ward demoralizing and secularizing
that day.
Attendance Upon them by the
young, carried TO an extreme, will re-
act unfayorably upon their more i'm
portant occupations and pursuits.
But admitting all this merely mean
that anything good in itself but car
ried to excess and freed from whole
some restraint, is hurtful.
One of the facts which confronts
the church is that great multitudes
are attending them. The following
figures from the source previously
cited tell the story.
The Falls City tribune., 1910-10-28

A sample explanation is TO be found
in the child's fondness for the pic
ture book. The primitive instinct,
the craving for hat which appeals
to intelligence through vivid repre-
sentation without the medium of an
often clumsy vocabulary, persists eve
beyond c%hildhood's limits. AS Pet
rarch said in history that it was
"poetry freed from the encumbrance
of the verse" so it might be said
of moving pictures that they are, bio
graphy, adventure, descriptive litera-
ture freed from the encumbrance of
words.
The audiences in these picture
shows are comparatively mature. If
the writer may judge by several
which he has recently taken in. the
proportion of children is no larger
than are usually found at a church
service. And the people attending
them are not by any e the Hit
crate.
In view then of the fact that the
film-germ is not essentially and in
evitably an evil; and of the further
fact that it owes it's spread to the
deep seated picture loving instinct in
human nature, it would seem to be
the sensible course to censor rather
then censure. In large measure
this has been done in Cleveland, O.
with excellent results. Questionable
and even harmfully suggestive pic
lures are rigidly banned.

Bill devoted six inches of solid black type to
prove me inconsistent, as to Judge Lawson. No
inconsistency exists In my structures upon the

Asylum I paid deservedly high tribute to Judge

in error in that instance. Judge Graham Lewis
decided, when the Habeas Corpus Case was
brought before him for adjudication.

A Bargain With Bandits

After a moments hesitation Bill
grasped the hand of George the Greek
and cried enthusiastically. I'm your
man" and then he added, provided
you let me take my son along" To this
they readily agreed, and 1T was then
stipulated that Bill was to drive the
team over the mountains, using his son
as 'swamper" to block the wagon
wheels when deep grades were de-
scended. En- route Isnael was TO oc-

supposed to ride in order TO keep out
of sight and knit up the raveled
sleeve" of sleep, of which they had lost
much during the preceding two days.
1t was suggested. however, that Ismael
had better ride with his father until
the steep grades were covered, at the
end OF which time he must then take
his seat in the rear wagon They also
announced that when they got down
into the valley Ismael would be held as
hostage and any attempt at treachery
would be the signal for the death OF
father and son.
To celebrate the occasion they all
went in to supper, which was pro-
vided generously by Bill. During the
meal, old Bill, in his enforced role Of

dams partook with more zest than pru-
dence, much to BflPs satisfaction.
After the meal all the silver in the
back action had been transferred TO
the big wagon and over the TASKS was
strewn some straw, upon which the
bandits reclined when the journey was
begun. They agreed to sleep and
mount guard alternately throughout the
night, while Bill and Isrnael did the

Ismael rode up in a seat arranged on
the front end of the big wagon in di-

needed.

deep breathing of the II horses dis

Fellows now is eminently respectable
The time was, and not SO very long
ago, that his responsibility ended with
the daylight hours. In the daytime
he was schoolmaster. The toddling
youngsters of the Santa Clara valley
received from him their first instruc-
tions. But with the coming of the
night the ferule was laid aside, the
pedagogic principles discarded, the
copy book notices cast away. And he
rode forth to loot that which he could.
To give the last touch to the in
congruity of the situation, his only
weapon was a piece of wood shaped
like gun. Thus, standing in the
gloom of the Santa Cruz mountains,
he would stop stage coach and order
the guards to throw down the treasure
chest of the Wells-Fargo express COM
pany. Long he played the game, but
in 1876 scame the crash. He was
caught, sentenced to the penitentiary,
Odt Ool l0OiASo AlA Aoo2. "A year IdlCI
the road called him again, and again
he was caught. He was given life
sentence, but once more he was par
doned, this taking place in 1907. In
prison he lectured and taught, just as
he had done in the Santa Clara valley;
but on receiving his second pardon the
road appealed to him no longer. He
had played the game to the finish.
Departing for the east, he took up
educational work once more, and to-
day stands high in his profession.
Such was Dick Fellows, bandit and
schoolmaster. While at Folsom. he
wrote, and his writing was of the road
and those who seek thereon, at the
point of the gun, something more than
their daily bread. He harked back to
the days of Tiburcio vasquez, Cali
fornia's ferocious bandit, and told the
tale of his downfall. He entitled it
"Azogue Bill" from the chief charac-
ter, and in it adds paragraph to the
romantic history of the state.
The story here follows:
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-11
Bill Comes to California

After the discovery of gold in 1849
the family moved to San Francisco, ac-
companied by Bill. who was now nearly
of age. But It so transpired that the
youth had left his heart behind him
in old Monterey, being desperately In
love with a pretty Indian maiden, a
serving girl in an aristocratic Spanish
family in the capital city. Yerba
Ruena had no attractions for him, and
he pined to return to Monterey. He
desperately confided in his kind hearted
benefactors and received ready sympa-
thy, they telling him he could go back
Just as soon as he saw fit, only (and 1t
was a generous condition) If things
got too hot for him In Monterey, or If
he lost all his funds and was Tilted by
his dusky sweetheart, he must come
back and continue to make his home
with them.
Soon after his return to Monterey
Mr.. Williams received word of his
marriage to the little and faithful In
dian maid, who thought the shiny
black lover from the mysterious east
about the incest proposition she had
ever come across. The happy result Of
this union was a bouncing mestizo,
whom the happy parents christened
Ismael, and dandy boy he was, dusky
and lusty. Bill saw an opportunity to
improve his condition In the district
about San Jose, the Garden City being
then a point of distribution for gem
eral merchandise, supplying an exten-
sive region, His willingness and en-
ergy soon gave him chance and he
improved every moment.
In the course of year or so Bill
had got enough ahead through his
thrift to purchase horse and light
wagon, the proudest possession of his
life Indeed he felt like a real free

other papers, telling other stories of
bloody murder and sudden death, of
tragedies without end, of lives hope

many years. Times hand had marked
it, but as it was discovered and drawn
forth the lapsing days were bridged
and there was revived the early days

The result was that the toes had to

Aeroplanes in War.
From the London Times.


The Duke of Wellington is said TO have
declared that the important thing in war
is to know what is going on behind the
hill. Things have changed much since
his time, and 1t is now probable that be-
hind the hill there are none OF the solid
masses of troops which might then have
been expected. Still. IL remains important
to know what is going on behind the hill
or over an area which a general has no
means Of inspecting. The aeroplane. prop
erly worked. can give valuable inforna-
ton OF that kind although IL may remain.
as at present. a delicate and highly tech
nical apparatus.
The French are therefore going TIE
right way to work to make the most OF
the aeroplane as il is. They are Moor
boratins IL with the general apparatus or

very risky for those who work it. Their
example ought not TO be lost upon tnose
