 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-As soon aS President Wilson returns from his Christmna vacation he may be called upon to decide a question which has clu,cd a good deal of worry to many o' his predecessors and will probably continue to worry presidents long af- ter Mir. Wilson is out of once. This ls the question of the color line in re- gard to federal positions.
 It Is expected that a delegation of rongre ,.mep srrm she wcbthern ssAtes will aI. upon the president and ask hir. [. declare his attitude toward the policy of appointing coiored democrats to positions under the government.
 II s reported here that MT. Wilson has already boon approached on this matter by prominent northern demo- crats and that he has been in con sultation with some of the democratic leaders in the senate over it. It is certain that tho president believes to n certain extent in drawing the color line but just how far he will go is not known.
 During the campaign many coiored voters. particularly in the north. who lad become dissatisfied with the Taft administration. formed democratic clubs md worked for the ticket. with the result that the democratic repre- sentatives from these states have been strongly importuned to get jobs for the colored people who supported tho tick ct.

EXPLAINS COST
CONNECTED WITH
PICTURE SHOW
Manager of Colonial Theatre
Responds to Protest Against
Doubling Of Prices.

Recently The Argus published Q
communication from Joe F. Gstetten-
bauer in which he protested against
the practice in vogue here among the
moving picture houses of charging
double admission on Saturdays, SUM-
days and holidays. He called upon
the city commission to stop the prac-
tice if possible. The commission &C
cepted the communication and refer
red it to one of its members and the
city attorney. Today the mayor re-
ceived the following answer to the
communication from A. c. Powell,
manager of the Colonial theatre:
Rock Island, H., Jan. 9, 1913.-Hon-
orable Mayor and Commissioners, City
of Rock Island.-Dear Sirs: Noticing
in The Argus a letter written by Mr..
Gstettenbauer TO you in regard to the
advanced price in picture shows, feel
it necessary to say he sees this Ques-
ton only from his point of view. Here
it is from the picture managers stand
point:
Do the people Of Rock Island know
the price Of one reel of pictures or the
rental of one per day? Do they know
the price Of electricity, building rent,
union labor, musicians, and operators,
and the license we pay to the city? 1t
takes five days out of seven, every one
of theses to be fair weather, to make
expenses alone.
But what wish to emphasize most
10
and holidays. Does Mr.. Gstettenbauer?
If he were asked to do so, would he not
want extra compensation? Remember,
we employ people who work 365 days
in the year. If the people do not care
for Sunday or holiday shows, for one
would be glad to close my doors on
these days. Also, this is not purely a
local affair. Davenport, with the ex-
+ ception of two theatres, has the same
policy as Rock Island picture shows,
and adopted IL about the sa metime.
There are many more picture fans in
Moline than the other two cities, and
the managers can afford the straight
cents admission; and let it be under
stood that picture shows are not to be

good clean shows, one to which a man
can take his family and spend an hour
Of the day in comfort and pleasure. No
. respectable man can find such enjoy
ment with his family in a saloon.
Show me a man who goes into a sa-
loon and stays an hour and spends
only a dime There is no comparison
( whatever between a saloon and a mo-
ton picture show. The grocer may
have to have properly inspected scales,
but there is nothing to compel him
from charging what he chooses for
butter and eggs. We have to have
properly inspected and censored pict-
ures, and if our expenses increase like
the grocer the butcher, etc, we must
ask an increase in price for our en-
tertainment
Furthermore. we do not charge 10
cents on Saturdays, unless we have a
feature bill, one that is in some way
better than the usual daily program
and costs US more.
Wishing that you have this printed
in The Argus. I am
