A. J. Bclair, who has been connected
with the Majestic Theatre for three
years as manager, and who has obtained
for Wilmington photoplay patrons the
latest and most popular dramas, has
rendered his resignation, which has
taken effect Mr.. Bclair has number
of plans, hut has not decided definitely
upon his future activities, except that
he has decided to remain in Wilmington.
II is probable that later announce
ment will be especially pleasing to his
host of friends here, as well as movie
patrons in general
MIR. Belair. who has been remarkably
successful at the Majestic Theatre, has
been a pioneer in the moving picture in
dustry and possesses an unusually
wide knowledge Of all its details. He
came to Wilmington from Springfield,
Mass, three years ago, after having
successfully managed two theatres
there His knowledge of the theatrical
profession has not been confined to mo-
tion picture houses alone, he having
been with the Guy Brothers Minstrcls,
whose headquarters arc in Springfield.
The Youthful manager takes great
pride in being American born, and much
of his untiring energy has been inherit
ed from ancestors, who settled in Can
ada. having come there from France. It
would be difficult to fine a more enthu-
siastic booster for Wilmington than Mr..
Belair His personality is such that he
has won a vast army of friends in this
city. and his expert knowledge is such
that his opinions are sought by many
veteran motion picture managers.
II was through his personal arrange
monts that films Of the better sort were
brought TO Wilmington, and during his
career he has striven to elevate the film
from the first crude scenarios shown in
illy-ventilated and stufy houses to tn,
mammoth productions now presented
upon the screen. in the most modern AM
perfectly constructed theatres.

THE PALACES or NATIONAL
AND STATE PROHIBITION

The STATES undoubtedly have The an
thorify 10 regulate TO certain extent
mercantile practices including the
sale OF liquor. But the States have no
power 10 suppress completely any
lawful business or render property
Yalueless without due process Of law.
The right of trial by jury cannot be
abolished and the people remain free,
under the bill of rights. Trial and JUST
compensation alone can Justify tn
destruction OF any lawful trade or
manufacture. One State cannot as
sumo control of interstate commerce
and build trade barries against the
lawful products of other States. Free
trade is the basis of the Union
The rights assured by the bill OF
rights, have descended from the col
onial rule under the British common
law which prevails in Great Britain
today and prevents any reduction Of
the liquor manufacture or trade with
out "iust compensation" the very
words of the bill OF rights.
So every citizen Of the United States
has an inherent right 10 manufacture
and sell liquor The inherent right
existed under the laws OF the colonies
and was not In the least changed hy
the adoption OF the Federal and State
constitutions. Indeed the right was
assured by the bill Of rights. with this
declaration "No person shall be de-
prived Of life. liberty or property
without due process of law; nor shall
private property be taken for public
use without just compensation.
The so-called police power can
never be erected into just rule Of
law superior 10 the bill OF rights how
ever some courts and Legislatures
may have attempted such action. The
very attempt is a step toward despot-
lam and reversal Of the prime doc
trines Of liberty and law.
The referendum. involving destruc-
tion Of property by majority. cannot
exist side by side with the funda-
mentals Of the bin Of rights. and ef-
fort 10 eyalt the destructive referen-
DUN is an attack on our system Of

experienced ones.

as vet been done in the matter. Last

proved successful.
The hours during which the pool is
open are between and II o'clock in
the morning and and $50 O'Clock in
the evening. Among some Of the wo-
