The 26th anniversary has gone down
in history as another red letter day

some ninety patrons met to celebrate
the day, Saturday, April II. State

The other features of entertainment
consisted of vocal and instrument IL
music. readings, declamations, and
questions for discussion. The noon
hour was enjoyed by a social time
and harvest feast. Games were en-
joyed and thus ended another year Of
what has been termed a prosperous
Grange. The lecturer read good pre-
gram for May 1. the general feature
consisting of a verse from the Bible.

Censorship Of Picture Films.

A blast Of opposition to censorship
of picture films for public display, is
offered by the Moving Picture World.
1t is readable and interesting in every
chapter. 1t is one side of a large
subject. We approach that subject
with an open mind. We hope it will
be discussed widely, intelligently and
logically. We see two sides with
strong support for each.
Naturally we should find ourselves
in sympathy with the censorship plan,
but for the biggest factor Of all
the fallibility Of censors. We should
fear censors. We could trust the
whole public much better than We
could trust any individual of tiff
that individual was liable to political
influence on great public questions.
AS an example, in the suppositious
case that reform organization wished
to show, by the use of films, the evils
Of the liquor traffic, we should dislike
to see them rendered powerless by a
censor under the influence of the
brewers and distillers.
On the other hand we note the con-
slant attempts of commercial interests
well aware of the strongest instinct
in the human makeup, to appeal
subtly, to that instinct in a. way not
good moral food for any grade or age
of society. With millions of God
fearing people, the first hope lies in
suppression of the evil tendencies.
And the first method thought of in
acquiring this is censorship. 1t is
natural, and consequences are not al
ways carefully scrutinized and esti-
mated.
The late Mayor Gaynor of New
York, one Of the most learned jurists
in the history of America. said that
in all his researches he had been I'M
able to find an American statute
whether federal or state, which even
press He attributed this remarkable
fact to the Unborn American repuS
nance to interfere with the press in
the lawful and useful exercise of it's
functions. Americans do not believe
that the press is infallible or impec-
cable, but they have found out in the
course of two centuries that with all
it's evils it is the most powerful
agency for the preservation of our po-
litical freedom. Why does not the
same rule apply to motion pictures,
which are the most powerful medium
of expression known in the history of
mankind.
We would add to this suggestion of
Mayor Gaynor that while the pictures
cannot yet safeguard the purity of
the press, the press may be trusted
to see to it that evil leanings Of
moving picture developments are
promptly called to the attention of the
public, which holds the remedy.
So far, we cannot embrace censor
ship as practical means Of elimi-
mating evils from the marvelously
growing picture phenomena; but we
are open to conviction.

We are bound to keep on fighting

Secretary Daniels Statement.

The letter of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, given out Sunday night and
addressed to President Garfield OF
Williams college, while VIGOROUSLY
compiled as a political boast is yet OF
large public interest and more or less
relief. The frenzied declarations tina,
America is wholly at the mercy OF
any little military people; that its
millions invested in navy had been
wasted. and stand now only for col
lection of rotten, obsolete and inefn-
cient hulks, ETC., etc, seem to be some
what refuted by the statement Of the
head of the Navy Department. 1t
seems SO largely contradictory to the
claims of Hudson Maxim and few
others who are preaching "unprepar-
edness" and the necessity of feverish
haste in devoting billions for war ma
terial. that the public will be pleased
to learn the following from the Secre-
tary:
fully commissioned, 225 vessels of all
characters, which is SO more than
were commissioned when I became
Secretary. There are also 1O1 vessels
of various types, in reserve and in or
binary and un-commissioned, capable
of rendering service in war. We have
under construction and authorized ~
vessels 60 dreadnaughts, % destroy
ers 3S submarines and auxiliaries)
as compared with 81 vessels 6 dread
naughts, IA destroyers. % submarines,
gunboats and auxiliaries) which
were under construction on March l,
1918.
"All the vessels enumerated, those in
active service and those in reserve,
are supplied with munitions of war.
No Navy makes public the quantity OF
ammunition and torpedoes, mines and
other implements Of naval warfare
which it keeps ready. 1t may be said
however, that within the last two
years the quantity of all has been
steadily and greatly increased. For
example, we have increased the num-
Der of mines, on hand and in process
of manufacture, by 244 per cent. With
reference to torpedoes; the increase IN
two years has been 80 per cent. BY
the enlargement of the naval powder
factory, we shall soon be able almost
to double its former capacity, and like
enlargement of the torpedo works
and the equipment of plant to con-
struct mines will still further increase.
at decreased cost, the quantity Of such
stock, and the possession Of these
plants in times of emergency will en- :
able the Department to be in a better
state Of preparedness as regards the
supply of ammunition, than ever be.
