THE GRAND FRATERNITY
Men, Methods and Principles for
Which the Order Stands.

When Michael Nisbet and his co-found-
ers of The Grand Fraternity established
what has since become the beacon light
OF the fraternal system and a living mon
ument TO their memories. they declared
that its government should be "by the
members, of the members and for the
members" and since then until the
present day 1t has remained as they
planned.
The officers general have consistently
preached and taught self-government; they
have froWned upon anything saYoring OF the
clique or ring system TO such an extent that
any attempt TO abridge or ahrogate the right
order would meet with speedy and complete
annihlation. The men whom the membership
has selected to administer the affairs Of the
fraternity have shown the fraters that while
they-the othcers-are responsible for the con-
dition Of its financial AFFAIRS, the fraters are
directly charged with the double responsibility

Sweet are the uses Of publicity!

LIMIT MOVIE THEATRES,
MINNEAPOLIS PROPOSAL
City Council Considering Law
to Restrict Number of Motion
Picture Theatres for Public
Good.
By the Photoplay Editor

The problem Of overproduction in the
films Is being met at one end, at least, by
proposition to restrict the number Of
theatres built and opened. That is Min
neapolis' Idea for injecting into the mo-
tion picture industry a little security for
the producer, exhibitor and public. I'm
doubtedly the ability Of men with little
credit to open up fy-by-night theatres"
not only gives insanltary and unsafe
houses to public use, but also makes the
Held FOR the film manufacturer very un-
certain. Overproduction on his part re-
ceives no check, only a stimulus.
Under the plans Of the Minneapolis
City Council for restricted moving picture
theatres, the city would be limited to %
photoplay houses. There are already 90

police department. took it under
its wing.
This good is still being done. The
authorities have bounded the ped
dlers SO that most Of them have
either left the city OF have ceased
to ply their trade, and now scarcely
a day passes that some unfortunate
in the grip Of the drug evil does not
come down to central station and
ask to be sent to some hospital to-
take the cure. 2z.5
And while the authorities have
been stamping out the dope traffic
they have also been cutting the
number OF arrests for petty thieverr
and other minor offenses in half.
According to the figures compiled
by the. state pharmaceutical board
OF New York state, at least one
half OF the criminals in the u. 8.
are criminals because Of a drug of
some kind The figures were COM
piled in 1910 by DIR. Hamilton
Wright. who was then attached to
the department Of state and who
was the United States member OF the
International Opium conference.
Probation officers declare that II
the dope traffic was successfully
wiped out OF existence in cities that
there would not be one-half the
