A MOVING" PICTURE

Taking pride in the constructive
achievements of President Wilson'S
administration, We Democrats have
been disposed to discount the construct
tive ability of our epublicanif friends.
But we have misjudged them, if the
reports Of their contemplated moving
picture campaign are reliable. The
New York World has just discovered
and made public description of one
of the political film features prepared
for the National Republican Commit
tee, which is to distribute the films
throughout the country to be displayed
by arrangements of the various Re
publican State Committees. From the
description given Of the picture it is
certainly sensational enough to salts
fly the most morbidly partisan and de-
based taste, and is evidently intended
to arouse religious prejudice against
the President.
The principal scene is laid in Mex
leo. Villa, the bandit, is represented
as becoming enamored of a young wo-
man who has entered a convent be-
cause of her lover having been killed.
Villa and his men attack the convent
to kidnap her. The sisters run away
and are pursued by the leaders ban
dts. They are overtaken, dragged in
to the brush, stripped and outraged.
Of course the scene stops at the par
tial denuding of the nuns and the
spectators imagination is left to pic
ture to his mind what is taking place
back in the brush. Then, suddenly, a
picture of President Wilson is flashed
upon the curtain, sitting at his Office
table, arms crossed on the table and
head resting on them-asleep. Sug-
gestive, very, and so refined and del
icate and respectful to the Chief Mag
istrate of our country. And construc-
tive
One Hal Reid conceived the scena-
rio and is actually proud of it, but it
is said that the Universal Film Manu-
featuring Corporation, because of the
picture, has found it advisable to dis
pense with the further services of the
delectable Bir. Reid. 1t is said that
the National Republican Committee is
actually contemplating the use of that
sort of campaign stuff. Well, well,

and made to bear something like its
proportionate share in the support of
the government that gives security
to wealth?
Do they believe the old panic breed
ing national banking system, with the
control of the country's circulating
medium in the hands of Wall Street
and chain of Wall Street-controlled
banks, is better than the Federal Re-
serve banking system that has been
given the country in its stead, and
which has already proven its eff
cheney, soundness and protection
against financial panics?
Have they any doubt Of the justice
and benevolence of the Child Labor
law, which is to strike the shackies Of
factory serfdom from the emaciated
limbs Of thousands upon thousands of
children whose health and blood are
being coined into dollars for soulless
corporate factories, and give them a
chance to live and grow into sturdy
manhood and womanhood?
Do the farmers of the country not
see the benefit to accrue to them
through the National Farm Loan law
fashioned after the Federal Reserve
banking law, which will enable them
to secure loans at reasonable rates of
interest and on long time, with no
fear of the usurist selling them out
when bad crop year overtakes them
and the usurist demands his pound of
flesh?
These and other measures enacted
by the present administration and
Congress have long been needed, but
no Republican administration or Con-
gress has ever essayed to give the
country the relief they guarantee,
though they were in power for so
many years. But Mr.. Hughes and his
sponsors do not hesitate to sheer at
these measures of progressive reform,
though they furnish no argument
against them and have shown no con-
structive initiative by offering any
thing better.
To defeat Mr.. Wilson would be an
Endorsement of their sneers at these
wholesome laws and a rebuke to his
administration for enacting them. Is
that the spirit of the American peo-
pie? Would they rebuke their pub
lie servants for good work we'll and
faithfully done, and thus place a
premium on unfaithfulness and in
efficiency in the public service?
Surely the collective Judgment of
the American people is wiser than
that.

sends US copy of the Denver Post
containing a cartoon of Candidate
Hughes bewailing the fate of the rail
roads, which are represented as a
bawling tottling child, and Mr.. Hughes
declaiming: "Listen to this outrage!
Just as our poor little railroads is
getting on his feet, along comes this
man Wilson and swipes the little fell
ler's candy" The cartoon then sets
forth that "the railroads total net
revenue, fiscal year 1916, is $1,176,-
$4,000. They claim the 8-hour law
will cost them $6O,0OO,O00, leaving
only S1,116,804,000. This is only ar
excess of S245,9 100000 over the net
revenue of 1915 and is more than 8

THROUGH WOODLAND TOWNS.

By Helen M Richardson. Hark! Santa Claus is coming on his -his way through Woodland Town, To. f1il the children's stockings from his pack all loaded down. What will he leave the wildwood folk from out that pack so full? Perchance he'll give them feathers
 bright, or fur or bits of wool Perhaps he'll bring some suet bones and hang them on the trees, Way up among the branches for the
 hungry chickadees. Maybe he'll bring a lot of nuts and chuck them in the hole Of little Squirrel Bushy Tail, for him to eat and roll. He may drop from that bulging pack
 food for the fox and bear; For such a kind old Santa Claus will .surely tend with care The little furry feathered tribe that in
 the wildwood wait And long for MT. Sunshine to unlock the spring time gate. Then be alert and ready; do not mind the frost and cold; Wear your fud and feather dresses, be they new or be they old. Little wildwood folk be waiting in
 your jackets gray and brown, For Santa Claus is passing on his way through Woodland Town.

Autobiography of a Lead Pencil.
 I am a very old lead pencil. am worn out at one end and chewed off at the other. s-.
 I lay in the corner of a desk. Once upon a time had a nice coat of yell low paint, but now it is all scratched off.
 One day man came along with an ax He cut me off of an old oak tree and brought me to factory. I was put into a machine and was made round. Then I was painted yellow. When I was finished I looked fine.
 I was then packed in a big box with many other pencils, painted red, green, yellow and black. Then we were ship ped to a stationery store.
 We were put on % the third shelf so could see everything that went on. I saw people buying cigars. tobacco. cigarettes and many other things.
 After lying on the shelf a long time boy came in and asked for lead pencil. I was shown to him and he thought I was very nice, so he bought me He took me to school and used me for a while, then began to sharpen me and I began to grow smaller, and now I am of no use. I lay in the desk and expect to be thrown away soon.

A remarkable feature of this intrusion is the large number of narrow dikes of igneous rocks, mostly branching from the large masses through cracks in the sedimentary strata and extending out in every di- rection for many miles from the foot of the peaks. At many places. owing to their hardness. they sand above tho surface as narrow walls.

How Bruno Saved the Baby.

An old resident of a Nova Scotia town is said to be proud of New foundland dog for which he has been offered large sums of money.
 The dogs intelligence has always been rated high, but some time ago act which seemed to indicate a power of rapid reasoning equal to that pos sessed by many human beings.
 His master lives on the side of a hill, the, street Sloping rather abruptly down to the waters edge. One day a little girl, left in charge of her baby sister, sleeping in it's small carriage, and forgot the baby for a moment In that moment a sudden gust of wind took the little carriage and bore it rapidly along down the hill toward the water. The two children ran after it, but the wind was too fleet for them.
 The Newfoundland dog, lying at the foot of his masters walk, as usual, and saw the carriage Skinfning by him. Unlike the children, he made no attempt to overtake it by a direct chase, but dashing across three or four lawns, he came out at a curve of the road ahead of the little vehicle, and, planting himself firmly in it's track, stopped it and held it safely until some of the neighbors, who had been reused by the children's cries, hurried to the spot. Then Bruno walked up the hill again, apparently unmoved by the praise and betting which were surely his due, and resumed his nap with the air of a dog that had done his duty as best he knew how and was content.

A Good Find.

It was a snowy day in December a few days before Christmas. A man with his wife was coming home from the market.
 When they were about one-quarter of the way to their cozy home they heard a faint sound as of some sick or starving child. They looked into a clump of bushes. There they saw a little child about four years of age, covered up with a few leaves she had gathered.
 The kind man took her in his arms, covered her up with his coat, and away they started for home with the child. At last they reached home. The wom- an bathed the child, fed her and put her into nice little cozy crib. After @ while the child fell asleep.
 In the morning the little girl awoke, ate a warm breakfast and was very warmly dressed.
 The two people were going to keep her unless someone claimed the child On Sunday when they went to church the minister baptized her She was named Charlotte Arlene Anderson
 Now they had a child whom they could love and support.
 Charlotte certainly was a. very hap WY child in her coZy and loving home The three were very happy together HELEN ABERG, Age 10. Taftville
