TO THE POPULAR.

"Ten Nights in a Barroom" contin-
ues to draw large crowds to the Popu-
lar theater, where its sterling tenn
perance lecture is being preached at
two performances each night. The Ho-
nolulu clergy have emphatically en-
dorsed this motion picture and declare
it to be one of the finest of the entire
repertoire of "Blai's Greater Photo
Plays" ~-. -.:.'
1t is pointed out by DR.. John w.
Wadman, superintendent of the local
branch of the Anti-saloon League, who
calls attention to the fact that the NOR
al lesson taught Is one that will prove
of inestimable value to men, women
and children. "Ten Nights in a Bar
room is an excellent expose of the
short-lived friend that man thinks he
has in the salOon-keeper When the
money is all gone the friendship auto.
matically ceases, as was the case with
poor Joe Turner and his former friend
and tavern keeper, Simon Slade. Slade
sees Joe, his boyhood pal, slide to the
lowest depths through Shades rum
and when Joe is drinking the dregs
Simon has no more use for him and
throws him into the Street.
Simon Slade was my best friend
but his whisky was my worst enemy
and / feel that / am entitled to ask
you as citizens of Cedarville to close
the tavern" said Joe, after his refor-
nation and regeneration. The citizens
of Cedarville agreed with Joe and the
place was closed.
For dramatic strength it would be
hard to imagine photo-play that
could improve on 'sTen Nights in a
Barroom,', which includes three muir.
ders, a violent death and a thrilling
rescue from the river. 1t also shows
the most horrible side of the drink
habit, when Joe is seen in the throes
of d. It's, a monster snake coiled
around him and ready to strike. 1t
shows the effect of drink upon its in
nocent victims Joe's wife and child.
It shows them reduced to want with
Mrs. Turner compelled to take in
washing to Keep herself and child
alive and her husband in booze-money.
Better than one million temperance
lectures" is the phrase used by an
able critic in commenting on Ten
Nights in a Barroom." This film will
be the offering tonight, Monday and
Tuesday nights.

METHODIST NOTES

The cantata Holy Night" rem
,dered last Sunday morning by the
choir of the Methodist church was
a notable success, so much so that
the choir has been requested to re-
peat it in the near future, which
may be arranged later. Notable
features were solos by Mrs Fetch
er, Mrs. Almy and Prof. Wright, all
we'll rendered.
The audience was also glad to
hear again Miss Ritchey, who was
home from Madison just in time to
assist in the chorus parts.

Members have been deluged with
letters, petitions and protests for
and against many measures, so that
it becomes a physical impossibility
to acknowledge all communication
received. Some of the measures
never get out of the committee, but
different individuals or interests
are found urging or opposing pro

direct interest. For some time
every mail brought many letters
urging the reduction of letter post
age to one cent. These people ar

be made up by increasing the post

The Senate will be obliged to saw
4 prodigious amount of Legislative
wood, before il finishes the Presi-
Dental program set forth in the
recent messages. Doubts are now
expressed as to the likelihood of
avoiding an extra session, because
less than sixty legislative days re-
main before the sixty-third Con
gress automatically terminates on
March 4th. Apart from one or two
appropriation bills that may prove
stumbling blocks, considerable op
position will occur against the pro-
posed purchase by the Government
of vessels for merchant marine pur-
poses. Although the House does
not occupy the same relatively inn
portant position, because of the
overwhelming Administration ma
jority, all will not be smooth sailing
for the merchant marine bill when
it comes before that body.
