There's. q cowboy film, one Of those
very crime producers to which the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. reformers point
fora c1inchef to, their arguments. The
outlaws Is stealing the coin while the
girls back Is turned. All Is excite
Ement in front-of US. behind us. and at
each; side OF us.
Cant the girl see him." a little
chap remarks breathlessly. "Gee, he's
got away with 1t. Now she sees him
She's telling the cowboys. Yes. they're
after. him. Gee. they're going OF on
the wrong trail Now they've got the
right trail again.. No. they amt going
to, catch him. Yes, they are, too. Now
they've got him Serves, him right"
And these are only some of the COM
ments as the picture goes on and un-
ret4siftseif- for the cdelectation of the
chase goes ON and on, and everything
ends happily; the robber caught
bound. and turned over to the law;
the girl clasped. IN the arms of her
cowboy lover.
There Is, a patter of hands all over
thei darkened theater This is the. ih-
fiuence Of, fhessmost- reprehensible Of
thea motion picfares-the cowboy story.
Everybody rs satisfied, everybody is
happy. each child goes home satisfied.
and with quite well defined idea Of
what happens to people. who try to
carry off money that does Eot~belong
to them-an except one. He Is not
satisfied. He is the boy who steals
the jam when his mother is not look
ing, and hangs around when father s
eoat,is hung on the hall rack. to see II
there are any pennies In his ticket
pocket, which might be transferred to
his own. tiny paw. Hes probably the
boy WHO pinches hfs little baby sister
when mother is not looking, and who
plays hockey, whenever opportunity pre-
gents ITSELF He Is a past master at
making the figures ion his reports look
what they are not, and Is an all around
bad actor. What does this cowboy pic
tiire do to this lad?, Does Il give him
boost along the downward path to

He goes home in thoughtful mood.

I"HE boy was an inveterate
patron. OF the motion. pic

The motive. OF .the crime
can be laid to motion pictures.v
: These, and similar remarks are
heard whenever some lad in a play
full moment blows off his little sisters
hea, or wounds one Of his companions
for life. The usual ~grist, of stories
about little girls and little boys who
have been led into acts Of foolishness
by the horrible. terrible motion pic
lures grows day by day. and few
there are who rise up to defend them.
Perhaps out Of the millions Of young
sters and grown. up persons who at
tend the motion picture. shows. there
may be isolated cases Of alleged sug-
Egestinn. which are reporter here and
there With ei3b6tate Trimmings. and
which those Mho are: opposed TO the
drama use, with many 'eniaFgements
which are the MANUFACTURES Of their
own Imagination. " IL"
Their theory IS that, the, young and
plastic minds Of these buds are trans
the sinister glamour of, the films, so
that the helpless and perfectly. angelic
children become bloodthirsty murderers.
outlaws. house-breakers. hold-up, men.
and the IKE. instsad oe growing APP into
lAwsabfthng- citizeps.- In fact there are
people who contend that the next gen.
Grafton will be generation eof crimi-
mails, that. only In remote regions. where
the motion picture craze has not pene-
trated will the boys and girls grow into
respected members of the community.
Those who use these arguments are
usually persons who have never. paid. a
nickel to see. for themselves whether
or not the. motion, pictures. are as bad
az they s.are, paipted; who have, only
taken the word. OF others Tor their guide.
and who know. as much of the subject
upon which they are speaking With such
authority as do the old maids who take
such active interest In mothers meet
ings.. Their theories sound all right. es-
pecially to those who know as little
of the, subject as themselves, but like
theories. when worked out by, those who
know. they refuse to work in practice.

RIDLEY To TELL
ON CHURCHMEN
Central Baptist Pastor to Give
Names of Tabernacle Mem
berS Favoring Merger. )

Rev. c. A. Ridley will on SUNDAY
evening next name names and read
titles" to forever put to an end the
talk current within the past month that
the congregations of the Central Bap-
fist church and the Tabernacle Baptist
church will join hands and become one
vast congregation.
Dr. Ridley is emphatic in his denial
that any such combination is to be
brought about now or in the future.
The great mass of both congrega-
tons will not countenance such
move, said DR.. Ridley today. Besides
that, have practically been put to it u
answer once and for all the rumors as
to how this talk OF combination started.
1t seems that certain members OF the
Tabernacle church could not believe
that proposals to join hands with them
could have come from their own mem
bers. This am going to prove Sunday.
! shall at that time read a statement
containing the names of those Taber-
nacle people who approached me on the
subject and then let the Tabernacle
matter rest
1t seems that the talk OF the comb
nation of the two churches has caused
a miniature storm in both con grega-
tons and DR.. Ridley hopes by his pub
lie utterance to put an end to the ids
gossip once and for all time.

BOY CONVICT MAY
WIN HIS RELEASE
Good Conduct Will Enable Him
to Secure Freedom in Year,
Says Superintendent.

Because he has been a good boy and
has learned his lesson of obedience ana
of right and wrong, Ollie Taylor has
done for himself at thirteen years old
what the supreme court of Georgia said
it could not do for him. Superintend-
ent r. A e. Means told a Georgian re-
porter today that the boy probably
would be released from custody at the
Hapeville industrial farm within year
and that the indeterminate sentence
which he received because he looked
with his -year-old eyes too longingiy
upon a bottle of coca cola, would be
lifted.
He is a good boy" said the farm SUI
perintendent.
Virtue, for Ollie Taylor, has been
more than its own reward
Arrested April IS, 1910. by policemen
because he took bottle of the bever-
age from a wagon in front of a More
land avenue store, the boy was ar
raigned before Judge Calhoun and
pleaded guilty to a misdsmeanor. He
was then a few days over ten years Old
Ollie Taylor was remanded to the
Hapeyille industrial farm for an indie
terminate term until he should have
attained his majority. The term of a
boy in the reform institution Is thus
provisional, and is based on the ability
of a boy to forget the wrong ways that
put him in the tolls of the law and to
learn better things. When he has
achieved a promise of righteousness
and usefulness in the future, he is re-
leased on parole.
Thus with Ollie Taylor Once before
he was paroled. but was taken back
upon the opinion of the superintendent
that he was drifting into the old habits
that brought him to grief at first. Then
began the attempt Of his father, O. F.
Taylor, a carpenter. to get the boy back.
But the superior court of Fulton
county and later the supreme court OF
Geo gia declared the law of indctermi-
nate sentences for maynard boys good.
Ollie Taylor could find no relief in the
courts
But his own good behavior and sin
cere work were more potent than his
fathers appeal to the law. He will be
released soon.
At the Hapeville industrial farm are
104 boys held under the same indie
terminate sentence. for terms covering
the period until their twenty-frst
birthday. If they are good. and learn
their lesson, they viii be paIoled
Otherwise. the law may hold them.

AUDIENCES KISSES
CAUSE OPERA STAR
TO ATTEMPT DEATH

VIENNA, March 6.-The perform
ance of Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots"
was stopped at the Imperial opera on
Wednesday night by the noisy protests
OF the audience against a singer from
Switzerland to whom the part of Val
entine had been intrusted.
Stagefright seems so completely to
have overcome her that she broke down,
and under the shock caused by the hos
tile attitude of the public she later at
tempted to wound herself with a hat
pin.
She was eventually conveyed to a pri-
vate asylum.
