will get you if you don't watch
out 1t sees a menace to Canada
and British traditions in the NOV
ing picture show, for it claims the
stars and stripes are Haunted te-
fore the helpless Canadians in a
manner at once provoking and
dangerous, and demands that a
censor be appointed whose duty
shall be largely to see that the
British pictures, with the British
flag in the foreground, be shown
in Canadian picture houses. The
terrible situation at present con-
fronting the Canadians, from the
viewpoint Of the Phoenix, is de-
picted in the following more or
less horror-stricken language:
The brazen audacity with which
the moving picture promoters
fiaunt the flag of the United States
in the face of Canadian audiences
is scandalOus. The stars and
stripes is a foreign flag and it can
only be displayed in this country
by courtesy. Yet night after
night audiences in the theaters of
Saskatoon witness thrilling scenes
of battles that were never fought
except for the photographer, and
for whose special purpose the stars
and stripes are always kept in alb
surdly conspicuous positions. One
is compelled to doubt the genuine
ness Of the veneratiOn which
Americans may have for a flag
that they allow to be cheapened in
such ways. 1t is their privilege
to do as they please in their own
country with their own flag. In
Canada it is different. We are
under no obligations to tolerate
this flag waving and it is time to
put a check upon it.
Two moving picture shows are
in operation down town this week
one has a film about the
'Colonel's Peril and the other
is about the Sunset Glow and
in both the American flag is in
sight a large part of the time and
sometimes not only waved but
Haunted. A troop of horses could
not be sent out to chase Indians
without taking a big flag. An old
war veteran dies in his garden
chair, and when he is found by
friends they cover him over with
the stars and stripes instead of
lifting him inside as sensible
Americans would do under such
circumstances.
1T is time a public censorship
were put on the moving picture
business. These theaters have
come to be educators of the public.
Hundreds of people 60 nightly to
see the pictures put on. The
theaters should be compelled to
put on subjects that would be
tOlerable, if not educative. The
receipts at these shows are heavy
and the interests concerned can
afford to dig up films more in
keeping with Canadian and British
ideals than the stuff now being de-
livered. 1t is time that action
were taken to bring these shows
into line with what is correct in
Canada. There is supposed to be
provincial censorship on moving
pictures, but this censor is either a
doubtful type Of Briton or a very
lax official"

ground it interfered with states

Flood spoke again. Former
Gov. McCorkle, w. Va, spoke.
Others spoke. Bryan closed by
quoting from the Bible, eff thy
right hand offend thee, cut it off.
The resolution was put to the
vote, and Alabama called. The
delegates from that state were in
confusion. They were afraid to
vote.
Then the steam roller began to
dodge. Roger Sullivan, ILL.,, went
from delegation to delegation,
shouting: "Let him have it if he
wants it. Let him have itp'
New York and Virginia were
called out of their order. Both
voted solidly for Bryan's resolu-
ton.
This meant that Ryan and Bel Z
mont, sitting as delegates, agreed
with Mr.. Bryan that they were
thieves.
After that it was all over. The
machine had spoken. The resolu- :
ton passed $50 to 1876.

''You name one delegate; we'll
name one; and thus we'll have
harmony in the party, Flood
told HIST. George Tucker, leader
of the Wilson men.
Tucker was surprised, but saw
nothing sinister in the move.
When nominating time came,
Flood was very shy about his
delegate. He referred to him
merely as 'Mr. Ryan," and did
not produce him.
Thomas Fortune Ryan wasn't
sitting in the convention His
son, Thomas S. Ryan, was. Nat
urally, the convention thought
Flood meant the son.
1t was only after "Mr. Ryan"
was elected that Flood trotted
out Thos. Fortune Ryan, of Wall
street and the Tobacco Trust, as
MS delegate.
Even Floods own machine men
of the Tenth district are willing
to admit they never would have
had the gall to vote for "Mr.
Ryan had they known who he
was.
So much for Floods fit over the
insult to the sovereign state of
Virginia which sent Mr.. Ryan to
this convention.
After Flood, John w. Price got
up and asked Bryan to withdraw
the second part of the resolution.
''The shame is Virginia's," said
Price. Virginia can look after

general belief that if Roosevelt fails of
the nomination for president at the re-
publican national convention there will
he no bolt by the Roosevelt followers
and supporters in Indiana. 1t is
known that there are some hot headed
supporters of Roosevelt who would bolt
in minute If they could have their
way under such circumstances, but the
real leaders of the movement, such men
as Charles II. Campbell, the Roosevelt
national committeeman from Indiana:
Edwin NJ Lee. the state chairman of
the Roosevelt organization. and Horace
G. Stnlwell of Anderson. who was the
floor leader for the Roosevelt faction
in the state convention and who is in
charge OF the Roosevelt contests for
places as delegates from Indiana, do not
take any part in the talk of a bolt
In fact all OF these men have open
ly expressed themselves as opposed to
a bolt At the time of the state con-
vention when the Roosevelt people
were whipped and Taft delegates-at-
large were elected. Stillwell was asked
to join in a rump convention which
would elect Roosevelt delegates at
large. but he refused ito have anything
to do with the scheme. He said he wished
to remain in position to support the
ticket this fall. no matter who might
be nominated at Chicago. He said he
had made his fight and had been whip
ped. and that he would not Join in any

that he is opposed to any bolt at Chi

Mr. Lee has made a statement within
the last day or two that he is opposed

There was good deal OF talk about
the possibility of a bolt at the national

failure 10 control the state convention.
Much of this soreness has disappeared
however, until now they are in a good

TWO TEXANS Persisted
WHEN TITANIC SANK

Corsicana, Texas, April 20.-C. j
Resin, druggist at Frost, this coun
ty, received telegram vest erday from
the White Star Line Ship Company OF
New York, informing him that the
names of his father and mother were
not among the list of the saved from
the Titanic.
The elder Resin and his wife were
wealthy citizens of Groesbeeck and
had been to their old home in Eng
land on a visit and were to have left
there for Texas some weeks ago, but
delayed their journey in order to make
it on the new ship Titanic. Sam Refs
in, the missing man, was for many
years the proprietor of the CONNER
cial Hotel at Groesbeeck.
The dispatch further stated that the
couple had stateroom in the front
end of the boat, and were no doubt
killed by the force of the impact with
the iceberg.

ANOTHER WAR HARbOR
FOR GERMANY
IBy Associated Press


Berlin, April 20.-The emperor Wis
lifted Cuxhaven before leaving for
Corfu and held conferences there with
high naval officers; and he has now
decided to establish a war harbor
there. At present the only naval har-
Dor on the North Sea is Wilhelms-
haven, which is not capacious enough
to accommodate more vessels than are
comprised in the first squadron. AS
ii has just been decided to transfer
the big new cruiser Won der Tam and
several others from the Baltic to the
North Sea. it becomes necessary to
increase the harbor facilities on that
coast of Germany The change is die
tated by the fact that Britain has the
larger part of it's naval strength in
the North Sea, and it has come to be
an axiom with German naval men and
laymen as well that the German navy
will find it's chief use in that sea if it
should ever come into action.
