PROTEST AGAINST THE "MOVIE"
QUARANTINE
To the Editor Of the Eucnin0 Ledger:

| To the Editor OF the EUcnin0 Ledger:
Sir-Why are moton-piCture theaters dis
| eliminated against any more than any
| other public place?
The Bureau of Public Health has forbid
| den theaters to admit children under lG
| years of age. Has that same ban been
| placed on other public places, such as
swimming pools, where a number OF chi.
dren assemble in a small dressing room ana
throw their clothes on top OF each other
and then all bathe in the same water, or
Fairgrounds, where a number of children
| assemble and play in the sand or dirt where
dogs, cats and other animals are playing
and breathe that air? Department stores are
also visited by a number of children, chill
dTen ride in trolley cars, go TO Sunday
schools and churches and to other public
places where people assemble. There has
been no ban placed on any other public
place than the motion-picture theater.
The motion-picture theaters are under n
great expense paying large licenses to the
city and State governments. They have the
houses built according to the requirements
Of the law with proper ventilation, such as
lot of doors and windows and exhaust
fans They are always kept properly ven
tIated and disinfected and especially now
more than ever. Yet the mOtion-picture
theater is Disseminated against.
The authorities claim that the reason for
placing the ban on the motionpcture
houses is that they do not have ample in
spectors TO visit the various theaters and in.
spect their sanitary conditions. We offer
TO stand the expense for inspectors, TO be
appointed during this epidemic, not only to
20 around these houses, hut to place an in
spector at the door of each theater and eX-
anime every child before il enters We think
that any theater willing to comply with this
should be given the authority to allow
children who pass the inspector to enter,
providing there is a sign in front of his box
office stating that the theater is in san
itary condition and under the constant
superyision of a health inspector The pub
lie need not fear to enter the theater having
such a sign displayed.
II is needless to add that the local thea
ters are now experiencing great monetary
loss. because not only do the children stay
away. but the parents also stay away. I'm
less something is done soon to remedy this
condition a number of theaters will be
forced TO go out OF existence Not only will
thew lose every dollar invested there but IL
will also mean a loss of employment for
thousands of persons who make a living
there,
Again we ask the question; Why are mo-
tion-picture theaters Disseminated against
any more than any other place?
Assuring the public of our hearty CO.
operation at all times. and asking for JUS
tice only, we remain.

. CANOE TRAILS

Broad is the track that the steamer takes
over the open sea.
Wide are the ways of the windy lakes.
Dear are the lakes to me-
And the sparkling sound is good
Bright is the river, too;
But the stream that winds to the heart of
the wood
Is the trail Of the little canoe
Up through the fields where cattle browse
Up through the farms of rye.
Under the arching hemlock boughs,
Under the laughing sky,
Out through the maze where the muslxrats
hide.
Drawn like a silver elew,
Clear to the buttressed mountainside
Goes the tran Of the little canoe
Clean blue flags In stately ranks
stand where the shadows gleam;
Ferns grow thick on the messy banks
Edging the deeper stream;
Tanagers flash in the vaulted leaves
Where, faint-shlmmering through.
A drOWsy pattern the sunlight Weayes
on the trail OF the little canoe
Dip OF the paddle. gurgle ana plash.
Quiet and bird-note clear,
White OF the birch, gray OF the ash
Balm Of the heart Is herel
Here where the boldest footpaths cease.
Here where the best Is true;
The loveliest road 70 the shrines OF peace
Is the tran OF the little canoe.

Governor whitman of New York

Governor Whitman, OF New York
may be weaker candidate this year than
Judge Seabury, whom the Democrats will
run against him, but he was not weaker
in 1914. when they were both candidates
before the people. Judge Seabury polled
$4,000 votes for the chief judgeship of
the Court of Appeals with the Endorsement
OF the Progressives. Whitman, as candi-
date for Governor, polled 6s6, 900, or 40 900
more, and had plurality over Governor
Glynn of $4,000, as compared with Sea
bury's plurality over his Republican oppo-
nent OF only $4,000. Davenport. the Pro-
gressive candidate for the governorship,
pOlled $4,000 votes Colby. the Progressive
candidate for the Senate. had 81, 900, the
high water mark for the Progressive vote
two years ago. Mr.. Wilson carried the
State in 1912 by 100000 plurality, with a
total affirmative vote of 655 GOO; but the
Roosevelt vote was S45 1000. showing
an anti5Wilson plurality of 10000. II
the Democrats can get any consolation
out of these figures this year they are
easily pleased.
