Bryan Versus the Government

New York Journal Of Commerce)
The only excuse for giving further
serious attention to the presumptuous
attitude which Mr.. Bryan has seen fit
to assume toward the government of
the United States, at a critical time in
its relations with foreign nations. is
the fact that he has exerted in time
past and may exert again a pernicious
influence upon many whose power Of
thinking is no greater than his own.
The appeal to emotion and sentiment
may oversway the appeal to reason at
moment when much harm may be
done by yielding to it. 1t may not be
fair to represent Mr.. Bryan as steal
ing the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in, when he processes to speak in
the name of the Prince of Peace, for
he is probably not hypocrite. His
disorder is of the intellect rather than
moral sense. He doubtless thinks that
his way of dealing with confiagration
is the right way. He would let it rage
and devour whom and what it will,
while discussing the insurance to come
afterwards and the way to prevent the
repetition Of such horrors. Others
prefer to work at the engines and lin
it the destruction so far as possible
and to save the precious lives and
valuable property in which they have
an interest. They would treat the
rabies of the dogs Of war. with chain
or even club if necessary, rather
than with patting on the head and
soothing syrup.
Mr.. Bryan in his appeal to the
American people for judgment be-
tween him as a private citizen and
President Wilson as the head Of the
GOV eminent of the United States, has
the colossal presumption to assume
that there can be any issue between
them for the people to pass upon.

Lisbon Enterprise:-The bicyclists
have their rights as we'll as other
people. 1t would be we'll for drivers
on the public highways to remember
that the bicyclist or person riding
a wheel Is entitled to half the road,
and should a person with a team meet
wheelman or drive past one on the
road they must turn out the same as
if they met another team. Should a
team run down a bicycle on the high
way and injure the person or damage
his wheel, the person so doing would
be held for damages. The courts have
so ruled. and 1t is important that driv-
ers should understand the law and
know that wheelmen have rights which
all are bound to respect.
Falmouth citizens are awakening to
the fact that the number of recent
fires in that town are many more than
would be expected from so called nat
ural causes and are looking around for
the unnatural causes. A few houses
have been burned but the forest fires
nave been numerous and it is now
thought that the fire which destroyed
the old Lambert covered bhidge was
the work Of an incendiary. Strange
men have been seen lurking in the
woods and in several cases fires have
soon followed their appearance The
people are much alarmed and careful
watch is being kept.

prison do not fall Is the contention of

 It has been our aim to give the public the very best picture that We could obtain and we have no apology to make to anyone. We have stud i'd the business very closely and it's effect upon the minds of the public. We note that almost without excep- ton moving picture plates conform to a high moral idea Of justice.

 We have on different occasions entirely dispensed with our music in order not to bother church meet ing this meeting we have dropped out the noisy part of our orchestra for Rev Bryant's benefit. We wish to add that no amount of abuse will ever sour us for we realize that 1t

There are just as good who go 10 the show as stay away and just as good who stay away as go. Don't let the other fellow s idea of amusement lie too heavy ca your soul He may be a little better than you suspect.

THE PICTURE SHOW
 AND THE CHURCH

We have long refused to make any reply to the various pulpit attacks upon our business and our character but in view of the fact that notWith- standing our efforts to give the show going public good, clean pictures, the attacks continue with unabated fury and while We consider that such at tacks are really detrimental to the cause of christianity and real boost to the show business, yet we believe we are entitled to q hearing. We have no pulpit from which 10 abuse our fellow men, and would not do so if we had The Rev. Bryant. in the course of his sermon on last Sunday night, characterized tie pie ture shows as dirty and in his opin- ion, worse than open saloon
 However. he admitted that he was not posted as to the character of our show. We have been told that another minister in this town consid- CTS bootlegging to be higher calling than running picture show. Hence this article.
 Students of sociology recognize that man is social creature and that amusement is essential to well developed mind and body. There has never been time when the human
The Springdale news., 1915-02-19

family was without amusements and never will be The desire for amuse- ment is one Of the strongest natural desires of the human mind and we are not inclined to think that such de sires are by any means more evil than any other desire. The inyen- tion of the motion picture machine is one Of the most wonderful things ever invented by man and the exhi- bitlon of moving pictures has be- come universal Real students Of so- cioogy and sound morality are not worrying about it's evil effects on society but are using 1t for the ac- complishment of good. There is nc doubt but that the motion picture has taken the place in many instances Of truly questionable amusements. Tn some cities the advent of the movie has caused a falling off of dram drinking and the frequenting of sa- looms, particularly in the city Of Chi cago, where there was a marked de- crease in the number of saloons, di- rectly attributed to the advent of the motion picture However, if a saloon is preferable this Is poor ar gument, but in our opinion there is nothing mere blighting to religion and morality than the licensed saloon.
 No one will deny that moving pie lures are highly educational. They bring home to us scenes from every part of the earth. They show us the mountains, the valleys, the rivers, the lakes even the wild animals in the jungle They show us the diff
