tion of whom are children, attend Du-

Most of the theater buildings are

T. Serious Health Problem.
They therefore constitute one Of the
health problems called into existence
by modern customs and conditions.
In cities all over the country the
problem is practically the same, in
vo1ving the role of contact for close
association in the spread Of "colds"
and the various. Infectious diseases.
1t is a matter of observation that
the incidence of the various infective
diseases of childhood Immediately in
creases on the opening of the schools
in the fall on account of the increased
opportunity for contact between in
fected and uninfected children. =
It may, therefore, be reasonably as
sumed that the close contact in the
moving picture theater is also a fac
tor in the distribution of Infectious
diseases. ~s-.=t-~-t s#5:
To Protect Public Health.
+ Since it is not easy to exclude from
the Duluth moving-picture> theaters
those who have diseases or who come
from homes where diseases exists,
we'll considered regulations as to VEN
tilation and sanitation should be en-
forced for the protection Of the public
BY the local health department.
h The city has taken exceptional pre-
caution to protect the lives of theater
patrons from fire, but how much more
important is it to require that moving
picture theaters, which have recently
become so popular, be. properly ven
tilated in the interest of public
health? ~
As the warm weather approaches
the city officials should lose no time
In making an examination of every
moVing-picture theater in the city.

Complete victory won by Governor
Eberhart," declared the Duluth News
Tribune in it's story of the failure of
the senate to override the veto Of the
governor on the Minnette and Nolan
bills. :, =.
Let us see whether or not it was
such a complete victory for the gov
ernor;" as the Duluth paper declares
it to be. In both branches: of the
legislature 170 members voted on the
veto of the Minnette bill. OF this
number 127 voted against the COVER
nor and only 43 voted with him. It
was very close to a to shot
against the governor.
On the veto of the Nolan bill 172
members voted on the veto and III
of this number voted against the
governor. Sixty-o one voted with the
governor. This was almost a to /
shot against the governor.
So it was not a glorious victory for
Governor Eberhart after all.
Home Rule the Issue.
The Nolan bill was a measure in the
interest of home rule for the cities of
the state. The principle Of home rule
for cities is thoroughly Democratic
The Democratic party of the nation
and Of Minnesota has repeatedly de-
clared for home rule for local govern
ments. Indeed, it was the idea OF
home rule that gave birth to the
Democratic party.
There are only few Democrats
in the state senate. We wish there
were less of the type in the upper
house than there is now. Only six
Democrats in the senate voted to sus-
tain the principle of home rule and
against Governor Eberhart's corpor.
alton program. They are Cashman
Cheadle, Collier, Cook, C. F., L'Her-
ault, McGrath and Pauly.

District No. Two candidates are
running neck and-neck with new
leaders coming to the front almost
every day, and to pick the winner
of that handsome 1913 touring car

Do You Believe 1t?

On commencement night the speak
er said that schools and churches
always occupied prominent places in
city advertisements and were quoted
as assets to city or community.
That good families do not seek homes
in places where these privileges are
lacking. DO you believe this? Do
you act upon it? All concede good
schools to be assets and valuable to
a community, but do you realize
churches TO be as valuable I'D ne
cessary? DO you support a church
with your means, your influence and
your attendance? Do you do your
part?
This is a personal question FOR
everyone. You send your children TO
public school. You are compelled to
pay your taxes to support the school.
Churches are voluntary but just as
necessary. Why not be loyal to them
as we'll!
Choose some church today and at
tend. You will enjoy the service,
the rest. the social advantages and
the religious uplift. Try it today and
