Galveston.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. IA state
wide movement has been inaugurated
to have the battIeship Texas of the
United States navy stationed perman-
emily in Galveston harbor. The move
ment owes its inception to the recent
announcement from Washington, d. c.,

navy department had under cOnsidera-
ton the proposal to diSmantle the
100000 vessel and turn her into a
target The naval experts want to use
the old battleShip in experiments with
naval ordinance at the Indianhead
proving grounds on the Potomac river.
Th1s announcement has caused wide
spread comment among Texans, and
the opinion has been expressed through
many channels that a more fitting end
Tor the Texas would be to have her
stationed in Galveston harbor. where
the vessel could be utilized in a num-
Der of ways, proving of historical in
terest to the many Texans visiting the
port

INSURG ENTS ARE VICTORS
IN ARTESIA CITY ELECTION

Artesia, n. NJ, Jan. 1.-THE hottest
election in Artesia occurred in the
election of a justice of the peace and
constable. The Democrats nominated
Jack John, prize fighter, for consta-
bic, and J. D. H. Reed for justice. A
nonpartisan party was formed con-
sisting Of Republicans, Socialists and
Progressive Democrats, who nominated
E. F. Cooper, a Democrat. for consta-
BILE, and c. F. Erb, a Republican, for
justice. The church element supported
the nonpartisan ticket 4 our hundred
and as votes were cast, in which. on
the Democratic ticket Reed secured
168 votes for justice and John 136
votes for constable, while Erb on the
nonpartisan ticket received 263 votes
for justice and Cooper 296 votes for
constable. The precinct is normally
Democratic two to one. So great was
the success Of the nonpartisan move
ment that there IS some talk of ex-
tending it to county elections.

Appeal To Whole Family.
Motion pictures appeal to the whole
family, and combine amusement with
education. They attract people who do
not go TO the evening lecture centers,
the church, or the social settlement.
These people pay for admission: they
come habitually, and they live intensely
and far more broadly during the mo-
ton picture hour than during any other
part of their day.
The Commercial Side.
The likelihood that all we'll equipped
schools will soon use motion pictures
does not threaten the life of the com

tTonizes drama, for enjoyment rather
than instruction. The school will AL

it will menace the prosperity of the

lines as these will force all places of

less than 10000 of whom probably
100000 are school children. The esti-
