the tie and started cut of the store.

Current Comment
THE PERILs OF THE FILMS

THAT is a pretty strenuous pro-
pOsal which is made in a bill pend
ing before the New Jersey legisla-
ture for abating the evil of immoral
and criminal suggestion in moving
picture shows. II would make it il
legal to depict upon a screen any act
which would be unlawful under the
statutes of New Jersey or of the
United States. That would place pic
torial representations of Hamlet, or
of Romeo and Juliet, under the ban;
a result which we can scarcely sup
pose the authors of the bill to de-
sire, or which we can regard as
adapted to commend the bill to pub
lie favor But there can be no ques-
ton of the urgent need of suppress
ing a great number of moving pic
lures the interest and attraction of
which are not in their dramatic or
scenic qualities, but purely in their
portrayal, usually in a suggestive and
enticing manner, Of crime and vice.
A law to that effect would be greatly
for the public good.
There is need, too, of some radical
precautions against the peril which
exists in these shows. Reports have
come recently of several disastrous
fires, attended with much loss of life.
in moving picture theatres, and the
catalogue of such occurrences in the
last score of years is formidable. The
films from which the pictures are
projected upon the screens are highly
inflammabIe and almost explosive.
one of these days a non-inflammable
film may be generally used. But be-
fore then it ought to be possible
greatly to reduce the danger of fire.
If the film remains inflammable, and
the building is not fireproof, it would
at least be possible, and indeed not
difficult, to require the films to be
kept, handled and used within a fire
proof chamber. Nothing would be
required but a cabinet a few feet
square, of iron, asbestos, tile or other
non combustible material, and with its
necessary openings susceptible of
complete and instantaneous closing
from the outside. If the films within
such a chamber took fire the flames
could be confined and speedily smoth-
cred.
Moving pictures have become
great source of popular entertainment,
and even of instruction. But their
perverted or careless use has also be-
come a source of peril to the morals
and to the lives of the public. The
evils are susceptible of elimination
without impairing the good features
of the invention or making it less
available for the enjoyment and prof
it of the general public.-New York
Tribune.

The Potash Controversy.

Noting the other day a brief allu-
sion in our dispatches to the potash
controversy" between the United
States and Germany. a reader of The
Republican asks for further infOrma-
ton on the subject.
Germany, through a practically ex-
elusive production, has a monopoly of
the potash trade of the world. The
demand for potash is constantly grow
ing. Our own imports of potash have
grown in ten years from less than a
billion pounds TO nearly two billion
pounds. Importations last year were
1,79S. 100000 pounds. The demand
comes from the manufacturers of fer
tilizers, manufacturers of explosives,
and so on. AS the farming land of
the eastern and southern states be-
comes more and more impoverished,
the market for fertilizers grows wider
and wider. A German syndicate fixes
the price of potash. Prices have been
advanced from time to time, in vio
lation of contracts previously made

with American buyers. Germany has
regulated the output of potash,
through a desire to conserve the de-
posits, and backs up the syndicate
in its methods. The American state
department and the German foreign
office have been discussing the sub
ject for some time, and there is no
immediate prospect of an amicable
understanding The controversy is
occasionally referred to in the dis
patches as the potash war" but the
sharp discussion of the subject be
tween the two countries can scarcely
be described in fairness as a war.
presumably would do under the same
circumstances-there is a considera-
bic sentiment in favor of the conser-
walton Of natural resources in this
country. and we can hardly blame
the Germans for following n policy
Of conservation.
The practical certainty that Ger
many will continue to restrict the
expectation of potash has stimulated
our government to hunt for potash
deposits in this country. A few days
ago it was announced from Washing
ton that employees of the geological
survey would soon undertake an eX-
haustive investigation of possible pot
ash deposits. In various sections of
the country there are potash springs
and the conclusion is that there must
be deposits of potash through which
the water flows.
More than once it has been said that
the man who finds a potash mine
will add more to the resources of
this country and to his own wealth
than by the discovery of any more
gold, silver. copper or iron mines
that can be added TO our list and
doubtless il is because prospectors
know nothing of potash that they do
not trouble to make a search for it.
