MOVING PIC TURE SHOWS.
By Howard L. Ram

The moving picture theater Is q
place of entertainment where people
pay a nickel to see love made and
murder committed. They are also
able to witness the murder of the Eng
fish language and the popular song by
a petrified vocalist, who stands in the
spotlight and forces vowels and con-
sonants through an orifice called the
throat. AS rule, no extra charge is
made for this privilege, and If there
were there would be grand rush for
the box Office.
The acting in moving picture shows
is always perpetrated by deaf and
dumb people, who have a very en-
phatic form of lip expansion and look
as If they we're about to say some
thing. Some Of the acting is so plain
that the audience can tell at once
when they are witnessing love scene.
AS fully nine-tenths of the acting in
a moving picture show consist either
In making love in a feverish and i'm
patient manner or in reading an anony-
nous letter, it is easily understood by
all.
The most popular reels shown in
moving picture theaters are those
which depict the American Indian In

the act OF being slaughtered by the
regular army. The picture show
which fails to kill of several TO
bust Indians at every performance
lis losing proposition. Then there
is the sparkling comedy reel which
causes fat man to leap barbed
wire fence, followed in rapid sue
cession by a company Of hard-rub-
Der acrobats, several of whom are in
petticoats.
When moving pictures we're first
introduced they met with consider
able opposition from the clergy, but
now a great many churches use
moving pictures of their own, there
by increasing the evening collection
and keeping their young people out
lof the nickelodeon. II more
churches would follow this plan
their pews would be filled with
something besides chilly vacuum.
The moving picture show is a
great deal better than it was on the
start, and it will improve just as
fast as the public taste will allow 1t
to. 1t could be improved in the
way of ventilation at once, how
ever, without dragging out pro-
test from anybody.

lowAN HITS NEW TARIFF.

Representative Green Of the ninth
Iowa district who Is member OF the
WAYS and means committee OF tne
house. has issued Z statement in wnlcn
he maintains that the new tarin Dill
will work great injury to the Iowa
farmer. CONGRESSMAN Green entered
q denial Of the statements the demo
cratic organization Is circulating
through Iowa as to the benefits OF the
tariff bill. He said:
.If the farmer is deceived by the pre-
tense that his interests are protected
Nv tha new democratic tariff bill he
win be enlightened as soon as II pc
comes law. 1t Is true that ~ Genus Us

tryscan take of this duty without max
Ing new law, and will promptly 40 SO
to help their mills against ours. It
viii be impossible for our millers 70
compete with the Canadians on hour
which will be imported from tnae
country.
1T Ia plain that the American farm
er will be as much injured by the I'M
nortation of flour as he would be by
the wheat from which it Is made. In
either event the American grain is
displaced by q foreign product and our
ANAL grain markets must fall to
level Of that Of Canada. Until our
markets are settled the American
millers win be seriously injured and
the American farmer knows too Wen
the advantage Of the competition OF his
local mills to wish to have them put
out of business.
.oThe situation rs to meats Is still
worse. Meats OF all kinds, including
thar smoked and cured, are admitted

MEXICO then under this bill he must
not only compete with their cheap
lands and cheap labor, but must pay q

hnished product to packers who VIII
nav him on the basis of free meats. !,
Mr., Green closes by quoting the
london Daily Chronicle as saying that
tha bill means wool and meats from
Australia, lumber from Canada, pota-
to,s from Ireland, manufacturers from

bill is approved in England.
