history of a legal censorship, II one
were established.
A board is made UP Of people.
Upon what group of people Is the
average citizen willing to confer
authority to say. absolutely, and with
out appeal. what pictures he and the
members of his family shall see? Let
a board OF censors acting Is volun-
tary organization, condemn a certain
book. No harm would be done. Those
of us who wanted the book would buy
1t, and those who were willing to be
guided by the verdict of the board
would act accordingly. Incidentally,
the fact that the pronouncement Of
the board would be generally ignored
would demonstrate h a the public
does not want legal censorship of its
reading. But If the same thing were
attempted by a legal board the comm
unity and the board would be immed-
lately be arrayed against in opposi-
ton to each other. and we would
have introduced into our system an
element foreign and antagonistic to
it. 100"
h same rule will hold with motion
pictures. except that there is a great
er willingness on the part of the
public to have some central supervis-
ion over motion picture displays. This
would certainly not go to the extent
Of accepting the decisions Of a legal
board. Let the board act as a volun-
tary body, and it's decisions will be
received, if not with entire approval,
at least with respect and federation.
Let the same board be made legal
body. with the authority of the state
to enforce its mandates. and 1t would
be regarded as an oppressive bureau,
relic of the dark ages.
One trouble with very many of
those who demand legal censorship
is that they fail that most people go
to the motion picture shows to be en-
tertained. and not to be educated or
uplifted. 1t is against most of that
which the crowd regards as entertain
ing that the Recommendations are direct
ed. Let the moving picture be refined
to a point where 1t will contain no.
thing OF the farc1al. nothing of the
melodramatic, nothing save that
which will appeal to the educated and
cultured. Or those who are making
a conscious effort to become so, and
what will happen? Simply that the
populace will quit going to the movies,
and will go elsewhere, where it can
find more fun.

THE A

Milo. the Bottineau county murder
err, has been sentenced to death. The
fact that not for seven years before
has II death penalty been imposed
in this state shows pretty c%onclusively
that there is no very great enthusiasm
for the death penalty in this state. In
cases Of first degree murder the pen
ment. is fixed by the jury. .Juries are
made up of all sorts Of men. and are
chosen largely at random. They may
be considered representative Of the
citizenship of the state. And. al
though during these a there have
gree murder. not for seven years has
a jury in North Dakota assumed the
responsibility of ordering the taking
Of a human life.
The reluctance to impose the death
penalty is typical Of the changing sen
early stages Of society, life is rather
lightly regarded. Men are put to
death for comparatively slight infrac-
tions of the community's code. But,
as society progresses, there is a
growing appreciation of the sanctity
Of human life. and a growing recogni-
ton Of the fact that severity Of pun
ishment is not n great deterrent Of
crime.
The torture Of offenders has long
been banished in all civilized COM
munities. Capital punishment for
minor offenses is no longer practiced.
And there is a marked tendency to
abandon capital punishment altogeth-
er. All of this does not imply SYM
pathy with crime or the criminal. but
rather an understanding that it is not
we'll for the community itself to deal
brutally. wen with its greatest Of
tenders.

LAUGH WITH US

A private anxious to secure leave
OF absence, sought his captain with a
most convincing tale about a sick wife
breaking her heart for his presence.
The officer. familiar with the soldiers
ways, replied:
IL am afraid you are not telling
the truth. I have Just received a let
ter from your wife urging me not to
let o come home because you get
drunk, break the furniture, and NAL
treat her shamefully.''
The private saluted and started to
leave the room. He paused at the
door, asking: "Sor, may 7 speak ia
you. not as an officer but as mon to
mon?" -
yes; what is it?"
well. scr what I'm sayin' is this
his voice: you andlI are two Of the
most iligant liars the. Lord ever mad
I'm not married At ALL" .

OUT OF MEXICO.

American troops have been with
drawn from Vera Cruz, and today
there is not an American soldier south
Of the Rio Grande. Whether, in view
Of the still unsettled state OF the
country. the withdrawal was or vas
not wise Is a matter on which no n
not fully familiar with all the facts
in the situation is able to form an in
telligent opinion. There seems to be
the United States being actually in
possession of the city. it might have
been we'll to hold on a little longer,
until there is some semblance of EN-
trail authority in the country. On the
other hand. u occupation of Vera
Of a stable Mexican government. 1t
was not because there was at Vera
Cruz such disorder as amounted to a
state Of anarchy. The city was occu-
pied as a warning to General Huerta
that he must cease his offensive &C.
tons toward the government and citi-
zens Of the United States or a worse
thing would befall him. Vera Cruz
itself was being governed by it's local
authorities, and conditions there were
fairly orderly and peaceful.
The conditions which caused the oc-
cupation Of the city have disappeared.
Huerta has left Mexico, inc the rela-
tions between the United States and
all who claim authority in the coun-
try are polite. if not cordial. The
administration has concluded that
there is no further warrant for our
presence in Vera Cruz, and we have
left. 1t is for the Mexicans to take
such steps as seem proper to them for
the administration Of the affairs Of the
city.
The Mexican expedition cost the
United States the lives Of some 20 of
3ts citizens, and 1t is said to have cost,
all told, ten million dollars in n
These expeditions r costly. In the
meantime. we have collected several
million dollars in customs duties, and
this money is still In the possession of
the American government. No indem-
nifty will be asked of Mexico for the
lives lost. or for the money spent. On
the other hand, the money which has
been collected in duties will be held
as@a. trust fund, to be delivered to the
national government Of Mexico when
ever a real government is organized.
Grand Forks daily herald. (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1914-1916, 1914-11-24

The course which this country has
followed with reference to Vera Cruz
ought to serve as an impressive OBJ
ject lesson to the Mexicans. That it
will serve in this manner to those VINO
are able to get the lesson Is undoubt-
ed. The United States refrained from
making use Of a series of very I'M
pleasant and irritating incidents in the
amer in which they would have
been used had this country been bent
on a policy of aggression. Our occu-
patton of Vera Cruz could have been
made the entering wedge for the occu-
patton of all, or the greater part of
Mexico's territory. Or, had it not
been desired to grab much territory
ut this time. the Temporary" occupa-
ion of the country's chief seaport
could, on one pretext or another, have
been made permanent. Instead of
that, we restore to Mexico her city in
tact. and admit the obligation to pay
over all the money we have collected
as soon as there is some lawful au-
thority to receive il.
h illiterarcy of most. Mexicans,
and the difficulty which exists in the
way of heir getting accurate infor-
nation. will rob this lesson Of some
of its value. Wherever men are edu-
Gated n intelligent they will under
stand. But il occasion for the distor.
ton of the facts should arise. it will
be easy for some bandit leader in the
interior to persuade his ignorant
dupes that the Americans, after hav-
ing held Vera Cruz for a time, were
driven out by brave and patriotic
| MeXicans.

MOVING PICTURE CENSORSHIP

There is no other public entertain
ment feature which appeals to so
many people in America as the NOV
ing picture, and because of its wide
appeal, especially to the young, there
was, and is, q very active demand for
the official censorship Of the moving
picture.
1t is generally known by those who
frequent the ''movies'' that there is,
somewhere. under some auspices. a
moving picture censorship. The an
nouncement. accompanying the dis
play of each film. that it has been
passed by the official board of cen
sors. conveys this information, but
many people entertain the erroneous
opinion that this board is Official" in
that it exists and operates under some
sort Of legal authority. No such legal
board exists. and. so far as legality
goes, there Is no public body which
has the right to exercise censorship
yer n pictures, nor Is it necessary,
legally that any films be submitted for
the approval Of any board.
There Is, in the city Of New York,
a body known as the board of CEN
sors to which are submitted nearly
all Of the films intended to be shown
in this country, and this board, &C
cording to it's judgment, recommend
the destruction of entire films, the ell
limitation of specially undesirable
features from them, or the incorpor-
alton Of Other features which are be-
lieved to be esirable. All Of the
recommendations of this board
r followed and the picture actually
shown in this country, 96 per cent
have been approved by the board.
The other five per cen have not beer
submitted.
III board Of ensor was establish
ed by the Peoples Institute of New
York in cooperation with motion
picture manufactures who realized
that the reputable part Of their bus.
mess was hound &c suffer from the
odium brought upon it by those who
catered to the levi aud the base.
Tho arrangement is end,ely voiun-
tary, but it has proven effective in
bringing under the influence Of ernest
and discreet people nearly all Of the
motion pictures in the country.
The voluntary nature OF this rem
sorship is its great strength. The in.
voluntary nature of a. legal censor
ship would be its great weakness. II
the censorship, as at present constt-
tuted, is unwise or impractical, It will
not work. 1t will fall to pieces of itt
own weight. The fact hat it contin.
ues to exist. and hat it is generally
accepted is not conclusive. but at least
prima facie evidence of the efficiency
of its work. With a really official
board there would be no such test

THE RISING TIDE.

Chicago Herald: The tide is be-
ginning to rise. Already the good ship
Business feels tho lift and movement
of 1t. From present indications, it
should not be long before the tide is
high enough and strong enough to
bear her out from the shadows of hes
itation on to the broad sweeping cur
rents Of general activity and prosper
ity.
We know the tide Ia beginning to
rise because certain important. fam
iliar indications are present. One of
the principal things experts look to
Is the bank ~clearings. The report
from Chicago and other cities of the
central west is that clearings are In
creasing.
Another sign to which particular
attention is paid is the situation in the
iron and steel industry. This is be-
cause of its immensely IS a business
and the fact that it Is connected di-
rectly with 50 many other great indus
trial activities. The news m that
throughout the steel and iron district
In Pennsylvania the labor forces are
being increased.
Our export situation is rapidly
changing for the better. We showed
approximately q $50. 900 surplus
Of exports over imports for October.
Since July 1 this country has export
ed nearly az much wheat and flour
as 1t did during the entire twelve
months of 1913. It is estimated that
we will have a total expectation sur
plus Of 3oo.ooo,00o bushels Of wheat,
to say nothing Of corn. oats and 9TH
er grains. This great surplus comes
just In the nick Of time. It helps Ali
the gap made by diminished foreign
demand for cotton.
Evidence of tho same sort comes
from cores of scattered but signif-
cant sources. Now it is q great auto
mobile manufacturer who reports that
he has an immense order from a for
eign government. Now it is a man
ufacturer Of boots and shoes or sad
dies who reports hat the prosperity
wave has struck him. Now 1t Is an
arms and ammunition nce or a
tent stove manufacturer who is get
ting busy to supply one Of the greatest
buyers in the present market-the
European war. Now 1t is a -four mar
ufacturer who is working night and
day to comply with export contracts.
