NO SHOW FOR KIDS
Brewster Objects to Exhibition
of Condemned Films
Before Friends and Relatives of
the CensOrs.

Criticism against the loose methods
of movie censors in allowing children
to view Objectionable film scenes has
been made by S. M. Brewster, attor-
ney general. The new policy was
adopted following the removal of the
films from a Topeka theater to the
state house.
Recently numerous. women and
children have been permitted to visit
the censors' rooms in the sub-base-
ment of the state house. In fact,
much of the visiting with the censors
is said to be done in the rooms where
the pictures are judged. Many of
the pictures rejected by the censors
are seen by young children and wom-
en- and girls before the censors' order
is issued. number of pictures re-
jected by the Rev. Festus Foster be-
cause they might create an evil i'm
preston in the minds of innocent
Kansans have been viewed by the
minister's daughter. Foster, who
was loudest in his condemnation of
his daughter to see the film.
Frequently men and women gather
in the censoring rooms in large num-
bers. Many of these persons are per-
sonal friends or relatives of the CEN
sors The pictures which are con-

the mind of Kansans, are viewed by
the visitors and rejected for the gem
eral public.
This is no show for kids was a
comment of General Brewster re-
Gently when the Reverend Festus Fos-
ter permitted his 16-year-old daugh-
ter to visit the film room in company
with a number of girl friends. Chill
dren who visit the film rooms have
been permitted to witness all pictures,
good or bad. Through this policy
cenSOrs have permitted relatives and
friends to see pictures which were
said to be too naughty for the gen.
eral public.

The trend of the debate will be:
/. That the liquor question is the
greatest issue before the American
people, requiring immediate settle

2. That the issue can be settled
only by electing to power a political
party in favor of nationwide prohibi-
ton. Only in this way can nation
wide prohibition be enacted and en-
forced.

a solution of the issue through the

, permission for each of the victims to
deliver a farewell address. The en-
peror spoke briefly:
persons of my rank and birth are
brought into the world either to in :
sure the welfare of the people or to
die as martyrs. l didn't come to Mex
leo from motives of ambition. l came
at the earnest entreaty of those who
desired the welfare of our country.
Mexicans, l pray that my blood may
be the last to be shed for our unhappy
country, and may it insure the happi-
ness of the nation. Mexicans, Long
live Mexico!'
"Mejia drew himself up as a SOL
der on duty, looked up once at the un-
clouded sky. and around upon all the
fragrant and green growing things,
and bowed his head without speaking.
"Miramon drew from his pocket d
small piece of paper and read as fol-
lows:
'Mexicans, behold me, condemned
by council of war, and condemned to
death as a traitor. In these moments
which do not belong to me, in which
my life is already that of the Supreme
Being, before the entire world l pro-
claim that / have never been traitor
to my country. l have defended my
opinions, but my children will never
be ashamed of their father. | have
not the stain of treason; neither Wilt
pass to my children Mexicansi Long
live Mexico, Long live the emperor!
When Miramon ceased reading,
Macmillan placed his hand on his
breast, threw up his head and cried
out in singularly calm and penetrat-
ing voice:
Fire
Eighteen muskets were discharged
as one musket Mejia and Miramon
died instantly Four bullets struck the
emperor, three in the left and one in
the right breast. Three of these bull
lets passed entirely through his body
coming out high up on the left shout
der; the other remained embedded in
the right lung. The emperor fell little
sideways and upon his right side, ex-
claiming almost gently and sadly:
"'Oh, Hombre! Hombre! Oh
Man, Oh, man.
He was not yet dead. A soldier
went close up to him and fired into
his stomach. The emperor moved
slightly, as if still sensible to pain.
Another came out from the firing
party, and, putting the muzzle of his
musket close up to his breast, shot
him fairly through the heart.
The tragedy was ended; Mexican
vengeance was satisfied; the soul of
the unfortunate prince was with its
God, and until the judgment day the
blood of one who was too young, was
too gentle to die will cry out from the
ground, even as the blood of Abel.
Too generous to desert his comrades,
too pure in heart to rule as he should
have ruled, too confiding to keep a
