Movies Getting
Declares
acOnna Minister

Dry saloons and censorship OF
moving picture shows were SUBJ
jects that nearly disrupted the So
cial service board yesterday after
noon,
Rev. u. G. Bloomquist, one OF
the most active members, brought
up both questions. AS promptly
as he brought them up, he was sat
upon by other members, figura-
lively, of course.
The pastors first attempt came
after Mrs. 8. A. Crandall of the
motion picture committee, sug-
gested that the social service Off
GERS abandon the idea of censor
ing movies"
''Oh, My Goodness!"
From our Investigations" said
Mrs. Crandall, I'VE believe that
the movie shows are improving in
quality and morality"
"Oh. my goodness" calculated
Rev. Bloomquist.
He added that he believed
movie shows in Tacoma were be-
coming more and more immoral.
II board of censors ever has
been needed, the time for It is
now, said he.

about moving picture show on
Broadway last week that felt I'M

he rang the bell.
0ditOr Is Welcomed.

The door opened, and out
broke the sound of two dozen
voices, loudly arguing on two
dozen different propositions.
The piano was changing some
January, 1916, music.
A big fellow in a big sweater
stuck out a hand, grinned, and
yelled: Come in. Gimme your
hat. Make yourself at home. Have
cigaret?"
Editor Montgomery was little
confused. His face bore the sug-
gestion of a smile. He took off
his overcoat.
Then 20 college rascals pounc-
ed on him. They grayiated, with
Bob in the center of the mill, to
the fireplace.
CowbelI. Dinner,
Everybody talked at once.
Through the din came the
sound of a cowbell.
That meant dinner.
The young men and their visit
ing editor sat down around the
big oval table.
One of the students started q
| song.
The gang got with him. ~
They shouted through ten
verses. The editor got into the
spirit of the thing. He laughed.
AS soon as the mael was over,
a freshman was hot-handed and
sent out for cigar for Bob.
Bob Talks About Bryan.
Bob got In a corner and start
ed talking about Bryan.
Not discourteously, but bolster
ously, half-dozen of the sweat
cred youngsters assured him he
was wrong.
They said, all at the same
time:
You're off on the wrong
FOOT"
Where do you get that stuff"
Under the tablet"
Bryan is a mutt"
Have you seen The Battle

Then a nervy young freshman
leaned over and put three reefs in
Bob's trousers.

Squelched Again.
The minister was again squeich-
ed when he brought up the ques-
tion of dry" saloons. He named
a list of downtown saloons that
are containing to operate as dry
bars, and commended them.
Other members demanded that
the pastor explain how any saloons
could be called good.
Chairman Magill informed him
coldly that there were only three
classes of saloons--bad, abomi-
nable and detestable.
Public Morals Officer Jurisch
declared that the saloons and
cafes named by the minister had
done more towards demoralizing
the youth of Tacoma than all the
others combined.
The pastor gave up, and re-
NAMED glum and silent through
the remainder of the session.
The only new action of the
board was the appointment of
committees for 1915 by Chairman
Magill.

CHESHIRE FOLKS
 KNOW NAUCHT OF RICH TOWNSMAN
He Gives Away Block Worth More Than Two Millions,
 In Chicago.

Chicago, May 26.-A gift of bus mess building in Chicago's downtown district valued at $2, 500, 900, has been made to the University of Chicago by Hobart Williams of Cheshire, Conn.,, it became known yesterday. A few days ago MT. Williams announced a gift of $2,000, 900 to ten Illinois educa- tional and charitable institutions. The property given the University of Chi cago is under lease for 99 years at an annual rental of over $1OO.OOO, and out of this sum MT. Williams reserves $60,O00 a year during his life. The do- nor also gave property valued at $200, 900 to St. sLuke's hospital and property valued at $1Oo,000 to the Young Mems Christian association. MT. Williams formerly lived in Chicago.
 Residents of Cheshire know little of MT. Williams. He lives on the main street of the town near the corner Of Cornwall avenue, the widow of his dead brother being his housekeeper has never married. He has little to do with the town or his neighbors and when in town is generally found in his house. Old residents of the town who live within a, short distance of his home say that they know little of him save that he has the reputation of be- ing wealthy and certainly is taciturn. None of them knew whether he was in town or out of it.
 MT williams uses his modest little Cheshire home only at intervals, be- ing away much of the time, having liking for travelling. His lack of in- terest in Cheshire affairs and the fact that he never mingles with it's people have earned him the title of rec1use in the plade. How remote his life is from that of the town is shown by the fact that he has no active relations with the local post office, but receives his mail in New Haven. He has been nominally a resident of Cheshire sev- eral years, but his name cannot be found in the telephone directory and not even an unlisted phone connects his Cheshire home with the outside world. Some of the people of the town when asked what they knew of the man who had given away so much money, didn't even know that there was such man as Hobart Williams living there.

Newest Gun.

The California, Mississippi and Idaho are to be armed with a new type Of 14-inch gun, which will show con- siderable increase of power over the 45-caliber gun. The new piece is six feet longer in the bore than the 45- caliber 14-icch, and it's velocity and energy have been greatly increased, the muzzle energy being something over 70,000-foot tons.
 Rear Admiral Strauss, chiefyof ord nance, states that these new guns are capable of penetrating the heaviest side armor at oblique impact at the greatest effective battle range. It is gratifying to learn that the new type of 16-inch, 45-caliber gun built at the Washington gun factory, has fulfilled the highest expectations, and that the bureau believes it to be as powerful a gun as any in existence today.

The President's Americanism

"We have seen with sincere con. cern the. flames of war lighted up- on again in Europe, and nations with which we have the most friendly and useful relations en- gagged in mutal destruction.
 In the course of thie. con fiict, let it be our endeavor, as it is our interest and desire, to cultivate the friendship of the belligerent nations by every act of justice and incessant kindness * to exact from every nation the observance, towards our vessels and citizens, of those principles and practices which all civilized people acknow- ledge; to merit the character of a just nation, and maintain that of an independent one, preferring every consequence to insult and habitual wrong''.
 The above was written by President of the United States not Woodrow Wilson. It was written with reference to the Ma poleonic Wars by President Thom- as Jefferson in his annual message to Congress of 1903.
 Though President Wilson was not the author, in the reading un- doubtedly you thought he was. The Presidents foreign policy rests secure In the best precedents of American statesmanship. His Americanism is simon pure.

Mexico must be treated as a wise parent treats willful child. Should the parent be brutal and undertake to coerce the child by main strength, the ranks of crime would be swollen by one On the other hand, firm but kindly re- straint will bring the child thru the turbulent period of youth into use- ful and rational manhood. Presi- dent W ilson is a father and the lives of his children show him to have been a wise one. None may be more safely trusted to deal wise ly with that turbulent youth across the border. For, after all, Mexico is but young in democratic ex- perience. Armed intervention in Mexico would result in a long period of internal violence and crime. Wise restraint will finally result in the permanent establish ment of popular government.
