Enough Money Compensate the Players The Business
Men Gladly Respond the Demand.

If it was up to L. M. Kennedy to
run things in Blackfoot, the old town
would be one dizzy whirl of things
doing. Last week the idea occurred
to him that open air concerts by the
city band would liven things up ca
Saturday night, and straig htwGy he
solicited the business men of the
town for contributions, sufficient to
effort. The Blacl1foot ba id consists
of tMdlty pieces and the concerts
VIII be giv N on the principal busi-
ness streets every Saturday evening
during the summer months. III there
is amy thing that attracts old and
young dit ikx music, and this city has
a band that the town can well feel
proud of. They have spent many
long hour, with little encouragement,
practicing and the boys have succe d.
ed. Through merit they have attract
ed the attention OF the people and
are recognized as second to no band
In Southeastern Idaho.
People who sti.nd around and chew
the rag at h-i..d never served their
time in one. Belonging ITO a band is
not fin|.ncial proposition for If olD.
got pay at sc per hour for the real
time devoted to- it they would be

proposition. You get in with some
crowd AND for year hang together
them you disband only with a bunch
Of amateurs again and then start
again. I'VE hope this will mot be the
expert nee with this h~nd but we
know they are only human beings.

PATTY.

PATTY.
The News is in receipt Of an appre-
eiated letter from one of its readers
whose good opinion we respect most
highly in which it is asked if We have
not some measure of sympathy for
Beulah Binford and if so why We are
opposed TO her posing for motion pic
lures.
Surely, we have a sympathy for this
unfortunate grim fact we have for
all women who have fallen from the
great pinnacle which God builded for
them. But in this case this child was
without good mothers love and care
and while still child she was en-
shared in the paths that lead to
crime and ruin.
While we have pity, deep pity, for
this young woman, now pariah from
society alone STEPPED in vice and
sin, yet we cannot in justice to de-
cency and hundreds and thousands of
children girls approve Of the plan Of
capitalizing her depravity and her
crime on the public stage Of the coun-
try.
fThe children Of the nation attend
the motion picture theaters. The
prices are within reach OF all BY
presenting the unfortunate Binford
girl as the heroine in silent melo-
dramas, the sort of vice via which
she is identified would be rendered
less hldeous. It would be a terrible
crime against the innocent children
Of this nation to permit exhibitions
of these insidious pictures.
There are many who are sorry for
Beulah Binford, sorry because she
began her career Of deprayity at an
age at which she could not know the
evil Of her acts, But sympathy for
her cannot stand in the way of prac-
tical dangers which are threatening
If she desires, as she has stated in
an interview, to change her methods
Of living and strive to overcome the
deadly ugliness Of her past, she viii
be assisted cheerfully and promptly
by people who are in a position to
point out the best paths for her
pursue. But, If this girl insists upon
fulhllment Of the moving picture con
tract for gain, something must be
done to destroy all chance of the evil
bearing exhibitions,
Curiosity of great proportions has
been aroused because Of the publicity
given the girl and, as with improper
plays, theaters would not lack for at
tendance. In the interest of the moral
welfare of the young people, it is en-
eumbent upon the authorities Of cities
where these pictures are offered for
exhibition to take steps, drastic steps
if necessary, to prevent such proceed
ing. It is the duty Of the authorities
to take every precaution against any
sort of display of these films.
Our good friend and local CORE
spondent must needs think OF this
side Of the case.
