The day OF the hand-painted pro-

again returning. Many motion picture
exhibitors find their patrons get from
the ''made-to-order' signs a better and
a quicker idea of what their show is

Moro Reels vs.. Three Reels.
There Is much of public concern in
the question OF what constitutes a
SHOW for Nickel and whether it
should be limited to one hour of time,
more or less, or whether IL should be
based on a fixed member of reels, be
that number three. four. five, or more.
IF any one has any say on this. we
think it Is the individual exhibitor" is
the assertion OF one. Others contend
three reels and no more should suf-
flee II exhibitors would have their
opeIators use more care IN the pro-
lection of films and not speed them"
the public would be pleased and the
time Of show would be more a factor
than the quantity OF reels. As the local

In the month as has been the custom
at the previous meetings, the question
OF fixing on what a nickel show is to
be is not likely to have the official ac-
ton OF the league soon unless there
should be special called meeting. and
this is not at all likely. unless there
should be such concerted action by the
local exchanges as would create a situ-
alton compelling action.

Another Railway Dream

A Morristown exchange, the Morris
County Press, states that movement is
being planned to build a railroad from
Lambertville to Jersey City by way of
Whit9house, Mendham, Morristown,
Montclair and thence to Jersey City.
The road will not -take in the old Rock
away Valley, but will be an entire new
route. We presume it will take in Elem
lngton, though the Press does not men
ton it.
The Hunterdon Democrat prints this
in good faith, of course but it sounds
like one of John +. Melick's schemes.
If we remember rightly Mr. Mellck has
built several roads of this kind Tin his

ting new industries established here.
The plan of the League has been to is
sue large number of bonds of small
denomination, which have been purch-
ased by persons having the industrial
good of the town in mind, rather
than the expectation OF a safe and
profitable investment of money.
If this bill becomes law the sanction
of the Commissioner must be obtained
before such securities can be issued,
and that sanction is hardly likely to be
granted as securities of this character
can scarcely be called investments, but
are rather the distribution of a risk over
the community, in order that the COM
munity may be benefited in its general
business lite if the enterprise is success
full, and that the loss may not rest heav-
lily on few if it is failure A further
hearing is to be given in this bill next
Monday.
The other bills In the series are not
of especial interest here. Senate IS is
principally statutory declaration of
certain things which the courts have
previously declared the present corpo-
ration act to permit or to forbid; its
criminal provision being practically all
the new matter of importance it con-
tains. Senate 46, prohibiting the or
ganization OF a corporation for any
fraudulent or unlawful or monopolistic
purpose, is Objectionable to nobody,
and no voice was raised against it. Sen
ate At, So and 81 are OF interest only to
persons concerned with the manage
ment of porations, and do not affect
business men generally. Some lprovi-
sions will make it difficult to find men
willing to act on corporate boards of di-
rectors, as directors are rendered GRIM
inally liable for acts which may be done
by fellow directors, executive officers
or managing employees, without their
knowledge or consent.
These bills seem likely to become
laws owing to the governors insistment
that they be passed; but it is not likely
that their Objectionable features will re-
main on the statute books for many
years, as they will be SO injurious to the
business interests of the state, large and
small, that their appeal will be demand
ed
