A contributor who sends a copy OF
the above letter to the New York
Times asks if those Americans who
are urging the appeal to arms in quel-
ling Mexican disorders realize the
cost. and suggests a reading of the
letters of those who in the past have
engaged in warfare.

One Was Enough.

Robert Bridges, the new poet
laureate, is a fastidious critic and
sees little to admire in the verse of
Alfred Noyes.
Noyes once brought to Mr.. Bridges
two very long odes that he proposed
to submit to the English Review.
I'll read them both aloud the
young man said. land afterward you
will tell me which is, in your opinion,
the more likely to be accepted by the
English Review
Poor Mr.. Bridges sighed and set
tied himself in his chair, and Noyes,
in his loud. harsh voice, read the
first ode. 1t was very long, and at
it's conclusion Mr.. Bridges leaped to
his feet and said briskly:
Now, my young friend, I can ad-
wise you. Send the other ode to the
Review

TRICKS OF THE CAMERA
IN MAKING PICTURES
An Interesting Story Explaing How Some of the
Films for the Moving Pictures
Are Made

is pretty safe to assume that YOU
have been fooled by a dummy for so
cleverly are these dummies construct
ed. and so quick is the substitution,
that even the man VINO looks at pic
ures several hours each day is often
deceived into thinking that real
player has risked his life to make a
sensation.
The second type of picture men,
toned, that in which the usual rou-
tine of things is reversed, is best il
Illustrated by films in which smoke
floats down a chimney, divers come
flying out of the surf and land on a
dock, running backward out of the
picture, or objects leap from the floor
onto a table. This type of picture
is usually made by either reversing
crank on the camera being used, or
by turning the camera upside down,
though in some studios it is accom-
plished by special printing machine,
which feeds the negative film in a di-
rection opposite to that of the pos
tive during the process of one por-
ton of the film is reversed in re-
gard to the portion which Immediate
ly precedes it.
In the third type of trick picture,
superimposed impressions are made
on the same strip of film, as in the
socalled ghost or ''vision' scenes,
in which a character seats himself
before a fireplace and dreams of some
incident in his past life. Such pic
lures are obtained, as a rule, by
printing with two negatives on sill
gle strip of positive film.
Two separate scenes are really TAX
en- by the camera, one being the
large scene in which the characters
are appearing when they see the
ghost or vision, and the other show
ing only the ghost or vision itself.
When the last scene is printed
against the dark background of the
first scene it appears on the screen
as a thin, vaporous impression that
strongly suggests the ordinary idea
of ghost" and owing to the fact
that the furniture or furnishings of
the room shown in the first scene, or
the outdoor background against
which it was taken, shows dimly
through the outlines of the ghost, as
if it were transparent, is the illusion
heightened.
Substitution of small scale models
for the actual subject has been fol-
lowed in ordinary photography and
in the making of novelty post cards,
etc., for so long that it's application
to the motion-picture need scarcely
be discussed.
Here again it is we'll to say that
more and more frequently the real
thing is being shown instead of the
small scale substitute, for the film
manufacturer is becoming realist in
every sense of the word.

Placing the Blame.

A teacher, instructing her class on
the composition of sentences, wrote
two on the blackboard, one to exem-
plify a misstatement of fact and the
other to illustrate bad grammar, says
Tit-Bits. The sentences thus read
as follows:
The hen has three legs. Who
done it?'
The teacher then called to one of
the children.
Harry" she said, "go to the
blackboard and show where the
fault lies in these two sentences
Harry slowly approached the
blackboard, evidently thinking hard
Then he took the chalk and wrote:
"The hen never done it. God done

THE FARMER AND POLITICS.
DUTY of the Man of the PlOw to
Watch All Developments.

Oour recent editorial, Get Good
candidates for Your State Legisla
ture," has aroused widespread in
terest. and there is every indication
that our farmers are goinS to have
more to say in the selection of our
lawmakers this year than for Ions
time past. Don't forget the main
points.
/. Watch the senate.
,. Keep at home all legislative
candidates who are regularly retained
as corporation lawyers.
8. Don't think it matte" merely
of getting a farmer into Office now
and then, but see to ii that the farm
ing interests also have adequate at
tention in the platform and in the
management of the party. 1t is bet
ter laws and better government for
all farmers, not official patronage for
a few, that We should aim at.
4. Don't get gold bricked by hav-
ing the leaders recognize the Ear
mers" by putting these on platform
committees, executive committees,
or naming as legislative candidates
farmers who are not strong enough
to really represent the interests Of
farmers. Get strong and well-in-
formed men in these places.
). The Farmers Union should stu
diously avoid all semblance of par
tisan politics, and unless for extra
ordinary reason. men who are Far
mers'. Union officials should not be-
come candidates for Office, (though
they may serve on party committees,
etc). But Farmers Union Demo-
Gratis ought to confer together and
with other farmers as to how to to
get good government, how to build
up the county, and how to advance
the farmers interests by working in
side the democratic party. Farmers
Union republicans should do the same
inside the republican party-working
in every case for measures rather
than men.
In Raleigh next month democra-
tic State mass meeting has been call
ed largely for the purpose of giving
democratic farmers and others in
terested in progressive measures in
North Carolina a chance to put these
matters before the people before the
regular conventions are held, and the
meeting should be largely attended.
Look out for it, 1t would be well,
in fact, if in every county and State
the plain voters, the rank and file,
of each party would hold similar
meetings.-Progressive Farmer.

Nursing for Average Family.

If you are very rich and very sick,
there is the luxury of home care with
noiseless trained nurse radiating
efficiency and prophylaxis.
If you are very poor and very sick,
there are free beds in the hospital
wards, sociable to be sure, but admir-
ably sanitary and comfortable.
But if you are neither very rich
nor very very poor, but yet are sick
enough to need constant care, there
is nothing but worry and trouble.
Either the whole family must shimp
to pay s25 a week for the trained
nurse or the patient must be hazard
ed to some slipshop "Sairy Camp
from round the neighborhood.
To provide at a moderate charge
for the adequate 'care of sickness
in the home and for the care of the
home during Sickness is the dual
slogan of the Household Nursing AS
sociation of the Women's Municipal
League of Boston.
The problem of finding competent
attendants to furnish this adequate
care" will be facilitated by the open
ing of the Robert B. Brigham Hospi-
tai this month. With the co-opera-
ton of the advisory committee of
the association the new Robert Brig
ham Hospital has decided to give a
one-year course and is considering
giving a four months course in Or
der that women may be trained to
work under the supervision of grad
uate nurses for the Household Nurs-
ing Association.
It is not the intention Of the AS
sociation to furnish graduate nurses
! for long periods to individuals who
can pay the regular nursing fees.
Such applicants will be referred to
nursing directories. Instead. al
though a graduate nurse will be sent
out in a crisis. the association aims
to supply for SO to s15 week a
strong, capable woman who is willing
to attend to both the needs of the
patient and the ordinary housework.

DUTY OF THE PROSECUTION.
Justice, Not Convictions, Should Be
the End and Aim.

The Frank case is worthy of care
full attention throughout the country.
The condition inimical to justice al
legged to have existed in Atlanta may
be created by similar circumstances
in almost any American community,
and the phase of the Frank case
which more than any calls for serious
consideration, if the advocates of the
alleged victim are correct as to his
innocence. does not involve the po-
lice. 1t involves the higher officials
of justice.
1t is said that the normal attitude
of the policeman, from the patrolman
to the chief, toward any suspect is
that he is guilty. The presumption
of innocence does not begin to apply
until the stage of trial is reached.
Perhaps this attitude is necessary to
thorough police work. Perhaps if
the police permitted doubts to OBJ
trude unduly their work would relax
and many guilty would escape. We
cannot expect Officer Smith or even
Inspector Jones to investigate crime
in quite the spirit that Prof. Nicholson
investigates the rigidity of the earth.
1t is true the citizen has ground for
protest if because of this police zeal
for the discovery of guilt he is knock
ed down. starved, and otherwise
"sweated" in the ostensible service
of truth. There are limitations to all
rules.
Still, conceding the rough utility
of the convenient police attitude,
ought it to be shared by prosecuting
officials, States attorneys, etc?
We should say, without hesitation,
no. These men are of a higher train
ing and legally are officers of the
court as we'll as of the State. They
should be required to approach the
available data not in the spirit Of
the police ferret. but nearer that of
the judge or of the impartial investi-
gator.
If the friends of Frank are right.
the Atlanta prosecution did not so
approach the evidence presented to
them. Would the prosecuting officers
of the average American community
in time of public excitement do any
better than the Atlanta prosecution?
This is a matter of professional
morals, of concern to the legal pro-
fession throughout the country. In
America the high rate of crime and
the low rate of effective prosecutor
are ascribed to soft sentiment for the
accused and an excessive concern lest
the innocent should suffer. But If
these theories be true correction does
not lie in the direction indicated by
the situation disclosed in the prose-
cution of Frank. In England, where
criminal justice is enforced with a
grim celerity, the prosecuting attor-
ney does not hesitate to point out
to juries weaknesses in the prosecu-
ton and strong points in the de-
fence. This does not conform to the
American trial theory, which has
been called the sporting theory
and resembles somewhat that of the
duel, but it should remind over
jealous prosecutors that their duty
is primarily the establishment of
Justice. Especially where popular
excitement and prejudice have been
inflamed is it the duty of the higher
officers of justice to scrutinize evl-
dence with special care in order that
due process of law may not become
merely a hypocritical disguise for
lynch law.-Chicago Tribune.

MONTH MAY END
BEFORE CONGRESS
Majority Leader Doubtful Of
Adjournment Even a Week
from Saturday,

Washington, Oct. lA-The leaders
and the rank and file in the House
have again become gloomy over the
prospects Of adjournment. The end Of
the session, promised by Saturday, is
now not In sight, and MIR. Underwood,
the majority leader, prophesied after
q visit TO the Senate chamber to-day
that if Congress adjourned by Satur-
day. October "a, the members would
be fortunate
Mr.. Underwood does not expect the
war revenue bill to get back to the
House until the middle of next week.
lie learned to-day that there would be
several days debate on the cotton
amendment and that an effort would
also be made to discuss the cotton
situation when the amended bill was
sent back TO the House. Under the
circumstances, the majority leader re-
CARDS adjournment before October "a
as imp obable, nor is he optimistic
over the prospects for adjournment on
that day.
In view of the discouraging outlook,
there is talk about the House of re-
scinding the Underwood docking" res
olution. approved six weeks ago, which
directs the sergeant-at-arms to dock
all absentees when their pay checks
are made out. Democratic leaders
made yelled suggestions to Republi-
cans to-day looking to the resembling
/ of this drastic action, but no agree
ment was reached. Probably a hun
dred Republican and Democratic mem
bers of the House would leave for
their districts Immediately but for the
docking system, and in the interest OF
the worried candidates truce may
finally be declared.

PHILIPPINE BILL ISPASSED
House Avoids Vote on Issue of
Prohibition for Islands.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The House to
day passed the Jones bill providing a
territorial form of government for the
Philippine Islands and promising the
Filipinos ultimate independence. The
bill which has been under debate for
more than a week, was passed by "a
vote of 211 to SO, divided mainly along
party lines.
The House was able to evade a vote
upon the dreaded prohibition issue.
An amendment proposed by Repre-
sentative Bryan prohibited the sale,
manufacture or transportation OF IN
toxicating liquors in the islands.
The debate was enlivened by a refer
ence to the Presidents recently dis
covered disapproval of the one-term
plank in the Baltimore platform. Com
menting upon the uselessness Of Dem
ocratic promises made the Filiplnos or
others, Mr. Moore, Of Pennsylvania, as
serted:
AT you repudiate your own party
platform promises, what hope can the
poor people Of the Philippines have re-
garding your representations We now
learn that after repudiating the free
tolls plank in the Baltimore platform
the President called of the Judiciary
Committee Of the House, which was
about TO report a resolution providing
one Presidential term in accordance
with your Baltimore platform.

YEAR MAPPED OUT
FOR SUFFRACISTS
The Campaign Committee
Plans Work Until No
vember, 1915.
IBy Telegraph to The Trlbune. J

Rochester, Oct. 14.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait to-day laid before the
New York Woman Suffrage Convention
the general plan of campaign recon-
mended by the campaign committee.
Every week of work until November,
1915, has been carefully planned in
the comprehensive scheme.
Parts Of the scheme, it is pointed
out, are contingent upon the raising of
sufficient funds. A centre of propa-
eanda is to be created by weekly meet
ings in New York theatre opening
on November l6.
Next month the squadron of West
ern women voters is 70 visit every
county in the state, and address the
Carnegie Hall meeting Of November 6.
Polling places are to be visited at the
elections, and every Assemblyman,
Senator and delegate to the Constltu-
tiOnal Convention is to be the object
of suffragist solicitude.
Most Of t. time of the convention
was taken up in hearing reports, which
called forth some criticism and much
advice as to how to make women
wake up and work.
Midday street meetings were held
and were addressed by the most per
suasive suffrage speakers. Sufragists
taking notes at Mrs. Edwin BjOrkman's
meeting found that she was converting
a large gathering of workingmen at
the rate of one minute.
A return to headquarters disclosed
what seemed TO be rout of the sui
fragists Rochester ladies in hundreds
were filing their way into the banquet
ing hall. The huge maps OF the twelve
campaign districts, covered with varl-
Gus colored stars representing suffrage
clubs and headquarters, had been
stripped down. Worst OF all, few OF
the insurgents were wearing anti-suf-
frage badges. Before discovering the
cause Of the trouble General" Jones
accosted these ladies', who assured her
that they were more interested in
Shakespeare than they were in voting.
I've do not want to vote they said.
"And you are going to try to stop me
from voting when ! want TO-" severely
commented the general
General" Resale Jones discovered
that this influx was caused by a regu-
lar meeting Of the Women's Education
Association. Their afternoon was
given to a lecture on Shakespeare by
John Cowper Fowls.
Determined not to be beaten, Miss
Jones had a talk with the lecturer, who
gave his word that the suffragists
had been turned out of their hall he
would see that the Women's Educa-
tional Association heard something
about suffrage that afternoon.
An hour later, according TO their
programme, the convention was housed
in the dining room, where the money
,aising campaign was begun.
Ina the evening an attractive recep-
ton and entertainment to the dele
gates was given by the Rochester Po-
litical Equality Club in the Susan b.
Anthony Memorial.
