HOW THEY CAN HELP.

An expert from the federal depart

the eastern republican, clubs what
should be done TO draw population
back TO the neglected lands OF that
section, to intensity their cultivation.

to have mentioned everything but the
best thing.
From the time Of Hamilton 10 the
time IN the gas when the Friends
OF Domestic Industry" organized and
petitioned congress for more tariff 70
act as a bounty in drawing capital
and labor from landed industry into
manufacturing. the tariff was built
mp and held up avowedly for this pur-
pose. and since that time IL has been
working beautiful 20 that end. what
ever has been the avowed purpose.
II the republicans cas-; and ives:
are sincere in 4 desire for the devel-
opment OF agriculture. they cannot do
better than 10 help the democrats in
putting through thu tariff-r,duction
bills at the coming extra session.
No other single thing will do as
much to intensity cultivation OF the
soil and 10 reduce the cost OF living
than the reduction Of the tariff taxes.
The republicans can help if they
want to.

He spent some time settling on new
No. l and when she was set up for
mark commenced to fire at her. She
was not engaged, but she didn't happen
to have any Use for Phil and soon
made him aware of the fact.
Phil was doing all this without say
ing anything to the girls he was trying
for about his inheritance. 1t had not
occurred to him that it would be nee
essary to mention the fact to get Il
wife. After several refusals he won

UNITING THE JEWS.

Jacob II. Schiff. head Of one OF the
largest banking houses in New York
and called the pioneer of systematic
Jewish education" had some inter-
esting things TO say at the annual
meeting OF the New York Talmund
Torah association about modern Juda-
ism and the Jew. He said that OF late
Jewish orthodoxy had become far
more liberal. Jewish reform, too.
was progressive and liberal. and he
hoped to see the day when the two
wings OF Judaism would find their
common meeting ground in the Jew
ish religious school OF Talmund Tor

being made for separate schools for
the Oriental Jews those who are
coming from the Balkan states. You
should open to these people the doors

separate institutions for each It would
be impossible to support Jewish edu.
cation at all. Our Talmund Torah
must become the melting pot for the
Jews In America, and I mean BY that

others. but for Jew and Jew. The

the lady was to share with him 5000
year. which would make any reason
able woman very comfortable. He
knew a number of young women who
would be eligible. and all he had to do
was to make up his mind which one he
wanted and ask her. If she didn't want
him he would ask the next best, and so
on till he got wife. Since he was not
in love he could see no complication in
that respect, and since he didn't know

MOTION PICTURES

According to reliable authority the
American people, at the present mo-
ment, are spending 100000 a day on
moving picture shows. There are 20,-
600 places in the United States that
are devoted to this form of popular
amusement. Not far from 100000
people in New York City alone daily
witness these performances. In the
United States half a million people
are engaged directly or indirectly In
the various moving picture industries
and the varied business represents
an investment of $2OO,000,O0O. Great
trusts have been built up from it and
many men have been made million
aires. And all this progress is a mat
ter of a little more than ten years.
Continuing, this same authority says
that the moving picture business has
created new type of theatre, a new
kind Of actor, a new species of drama,
tic writing. Its use is an agency in
education, in political and social re-
form. Though 1t was generally de.
spised few years ago as demoraliz-
ing influence, there are those who
foresee the time when it will be ex,
tensively usd in the public system OF
education, in the colleges, the scien
tific laboratories, and even in churches
and Sunday schools. AS a force for
the entertainment of the masses the
moving picture machine probably finds
its closest parallel in the printing
press.

1t is a far call from Muybridge's
moving picture of Leland Standards
horse made in 1871 with 90 cameras,
to the moving pictures Of today. Hun
dreds of inventions, accessories, i'm
provements have brought about this
development and there are multitude
OF claimants to these inventions.
Avoiding all questions of priority, Ben
nett Musson and Robert Grau in their
Romance OF Moving Pictures" point
to three events without which the
moving picture show would not exist.
These are: The invention of the eel
luioid film by George Eastman, Of the
kaleidoscope by Thomas A Edison. and
of the projecting machine by Lumere
of Paris and Paul of London.
Visitors TO the worlds fair in Chi
cago in 1898 saw Edison's kaleidoscope.
1t was merely peed show. One enter
ed a small booth, glued his eye to an
aperture, dropped a nickel in the slot
and pictures appeared, moving pic,
lures. a child skipping a rope, a man
pushing a wheelbarrow, etc. 1t was
merely a curious toy. Eastmans film
and Edisons' kaleidoscope carried NOV
ing pictures thus far. The kineto
scope did not arouse much interest OF
enthusiasm.
Then came Lumere and Paul, and
lifted the moving picture from its lit
tie booth, projected it upon a large
screen, made of it a glorifed magic
lantern show and the moving picture
had arrived.
