MOVING PICTURES
ARE BLAMED.

Because two youthful murdcrers,
under death sentence yesterday IN
Camden, N. j., told Prosecutor Boyle
their crime was prompted by witness
ing hold-up scenes in moving picture
theatres, Mayor Ellis ordered the city
solicitor to draft an ordinance I'M
posing heavy penalties, fine and i'm
prisohment, on any person display
ing pictures depicting crime in any
manner in the city. The law becomes
effective December 1St.
Setting bad examples to younger
generations has offered serious prob
lens in all ages of the world. III
London many years ago it became
necessary for the authorities to forbid
the production of the play Jack
Sheppard in the theatres Of that day
as it was alleged boys became fired
with the spirit of the felon. Three
score years ago the English-speakinG
world was flooded with the Claude
Duval variety of cheap novels which
were eagerly devoured by the young,
whose idea of man was an indlvld-
ual with feather in his hat, false
whiskers and a brace OF pistols. Inc
dime novel epidemic followed, and pre-
cocious boys imagined, after psrus-
ing these classics, that they could
make a crusade into the Wild West:
fire ramrods from guns and string
up Indians like fish. The improb-
able scenes in some moving pictures
are calculated to give youths similar
extravagant dreams. But the moving
picture is not entirely to blame as il
they were abolished something else
would take its place with equally ii
not greater evils.

"When the scheme is completed "

"When the scheme is completed,
he said, messages handed in London
will be sent first to Alexandra and
from there to Mombasa they will go to
Bangalore, in Southern India, thence
to Singapore, and from Singapore to
Port Darwin, in the North of Aust
ralia. The work of erecting all these
stations is being pushed on as rapidly
as possible.
"Other long-distance services which
will be working soon, are from CHRIS
tiana to New, York, and from New
York to Havana and Buenos Ayres.
For the American scheme which
will serve to link up the other half OF
the world, powerful wireless sta
ton is being erected at Belmar, near
New York City. Messages from there
will be sent to station in the Pana-
ma Canal zone, thence to Hawaii,
from Hawaii, to Manila, joining up
with the imperial service at Slnga-
pore.
South Africa is to have station at
Pretoria powerful enough to talk dl-
rect to Buenos Ayres, and New Zea-
land, will have it's wireless station at
Wellington.

TRUE HEROIsM.

What is true heroism? We must
not look for it upon the field CT bat
tie. Companionship in danger the
glitter and pomp of war, the way
ing of plumes and banners, nslgh-
ing of steeds, the maddening din OF
cannon and musketry, the crash OF
military music, the Intoxicating fumes
of gunpowder, the certainty Of re-
nown, the probability of Immediate
record for Individual prowress-ali
these indictments combined almost
make towards brave.A brilliant feat OF
arms accomplished in a moment OF ex-
element. is enough, as fame goes
to make hero of the man whose
entire life would not bear tie test
of scrutiny. Men who are fit only tc
be "food for powder" are good
enough heroes for history and the
world. But true heroism must be
sought in different scenes. The Chris
tian martyr, clinging to his 1alth III
the face of persecution and deaiH-the
poor self denying woman who o'ngs
up orphan relatives and some WAC are
not-the physician and clergyn'an'
who brave pestilenee and death, to
minister to comforts bodily, and spirit
ual, of the dying, the Sisters o: Char
itv-the ladies Of the Antl-TuoercU-
losis Society-these are the world $
true heroes; they are subjects for thu
poets pen, the painters pencl! ana
the sculptor's chisel-the worlds re-
spect, admiration and applause.
On tomorrow night, the Associa
ted Players of this city will present at
the Opera House a drama il four
acts, entitled "a Noble Outcast.' The
play is good one and in competent
hands, each of the troupe being well
versed in the various roles assumed.
The same amateurs have delighted
Alexandria and other audiences often,
and it is safe to presume that they
will again do so on this occasion. Inc
proceeds will go to the Anti-IuDer-
culosis Society Of our city, deserV-
ing organization of ladies,and every
one should feel deep interest IN
crowding the Opera House. 10 dis
ease is there, more fatal than con-
sumption, though some deaths are
quicker, but when attacked by this
fearful malady, nothing is more Sooth-
ing than to the one lingering or bed
Of affection than to know, eTen IN
poverty, some one cares for you ana
are doing what they can to alleviate
YOUR suffering and make easy the last
hours. To do this the organization
must have money, and now IS the
time to help those engaged in the
work. The members of the society
and patronesses are among AleXan-
dria's best people. A doilor o. TWO

all the flowers that will decorate the

Ye who keep on lions mountain
Watch TO tell us of the night

many critics, Ferns has asreed to
this.
Both lighters will receive hand

moters realize that this card is one OF
the classiest shows ever arranged in
the southwest. At Dewey, Okla,
these boys drew a crowd of 5000 peo-

BARTLESVILLE, Aug. 10.-Stand-

South Coffeyville, slX-shooter hung
to him, n bootlegger at his side, as
horrible example, was picture
drawn by the horrible example OF
his experience in getting a supply OF
liquor in South CoffeyVille Wednes-
day, says the Bartlesville Examiner
The principals in the affair, accord
ing to Buck Linson, were himself
and the Reverend Lockett of Wann,
state enforcement officer and also a
holder of United States commission
for the suppression Of the liquor rtaf-
fic in eastern oklahoma.
According to the story told, Linson
was at south Coffeyville and had two
suit cases filed with whisky and In
tended to come to Rartlesvile with
the consignment. Lockett appeared
on the scene, however, and took
charg of the two suit cases and Lin
son. The latter was notified that ne
was under arrest and would be taken
to Nowata to Jail as soon as the Iron
Mountain train arrived. In the mean
time there were services In the
church and Lockett escorted his prls-
oner to the house of worship and
using his authority as a licensed min
lister mounted the rostrum with LIN
son In charge and proceeded to de-
liver sermon, of which Linson was
the principal character. Locket'
is said to have remarked that ne mac
there one of the most notorious boot
leggers in oklahoma and delivered a
temperance sermon that was lengthy
and full of plain statements, among
them being the assertion that ht
would reform every bootlegger IN
WASHINGTON county or put all of them
in prison. Linson was compelled to
stand by his side as Loctett had a
six-shooter with a muzzle that looked
like the entrance to a subway Later
Linson asked Lockett to take him tc

to give bond, but the enforcement
officer would not readily agree to this

FEW FILE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
Only Six Out Of Thirty-ninc for Con-
grcss Complied With the Law.

GUTHRIE, Aug. 1O.-Any candi'
date for United states senator or
congress "who willfully violates this
act shall upon conviction be fined not
more than 1000 or imprisoned for
not more than one year, or both
The above is the penalty provided
in the congressional act, approved
August 10, 1911, entitled IAN act pro-
viding for publicity Of contributions
made for the purpose of influencing
elections at which representatives In
congress are elected"
or the many representatives-at
least fifty-who made the race for
congress in the five districts and also
at large, only very few complied
with the above congressional act that
makes It necessary for each candidate
for United States senator and congress
to file with the clerks of the respec-
tive bodies, ten days prior to the nom
mating primary or convention, an eX-
pcnse statement. 1t is understood, in
fact. that only six of the thirty-n.ne
candidates for congressman at large
and not over eight or ten of the vari'
Gus candidates in the districts. In the
First district, for instance, only Con-
gresham Bird Mcclure filed the ex-
pense account
Under the penalties provided above,
the candidates are liable to fine and
Imprisonment If they willfully viilate
the act. Perhaps no oklahoma can
didate was guilty of willful violation,
the majority of them not knowing
that such a requirement existed. II
has been said. too, that such violation
DISQUALIFIED the candidates, but moth
ing in the act bears out the statement
unless congress itself should make an
investigation and find the member
guilty Of misdemeauor, wh.ch would
be done under the act
1t is also provided in this act that
all candidates shall file an additiona
expense account within fifteen days
after the primary or nominating con
vention. THIS must now be given at
tention by the Oklahomans who hav,
been nominated as we'll as by the can
didates who were not, both for con
gress and United States senator. The
bill limits the amount congressman
man expend to get nominated to So,
600. a senator to $4,000. 1t is very
drastic. too. as against candidate:
making prediction promises.
