of note, and a famous playwright, says of censorship of the brand usually indulged by half baked 5 cities
 A censor is the politicians way of correcting nature. which gave us five senses and only one conscience He is usually the volunteer sentinel of our souls; the self-appointed guard ian of our hearths: concrete express sion of the common idea that our | neighbors are all vicious. and would be more so but for the restraining influence of our personal purity. motion picture censor is one of IS or 20 persons paid to tell an hundred million what they can see and enjoy.
 '"rhe motion picture censor is the latest device for making us moral by act of the legislatures; the most re- cent indication that we have too many lawmakers and too few foollSllers. A censor is smut-hound and without difficulty may find an ounce of fer tilizer in an acre of roses. Marcel Provost and Remy de Gourmont, and George Bernard Shaw are agreed, in finding this genius 'une legere, tres .legere pointe de sadisme.'
 Henry Ward Beecher said, however, siSwithout reference to the motion pie luTe9 ceuSOT. TIC WHO IluiltS lOI HOW CTS will find flowers, and he who hunts for weeds will find weeds.'
 Discretion is the better part of virtue. Nothing is so dangerous as ,, the truth. Disguise or conceal a thing and it ceases to exist Public motion picture censors with no capacity for I business, no Knowledge of law, no sympathy with art, no pretention to philosophy can only mess things up- and they have always done so. They would do so in Birmingham if board V of censorship was created. Owing to this lengthy discussion. there Will be no comments on the various photoplays offered today, so, for the programmes, consult the Events of tho Day on the fifth page

any adult and children old enough to attend the movie theatres. a Of course, there is art in the movies. Anything that tends to the beautiful and appeals to the. intelligence as well as the sense of beauty. should not he subject to the whims of the prude and the sanctffied 1eanings of the prig. It would be well indeed, to have a censorship board in Birmingham over the photoplays if broad guage men of profound Judgment were se- lected as censors, but unfortuna telyt the importuning of politicians has precedence in civic. affairs, of the United States and doing the right thing is an obsolete function with municipalities -s-.N 2.
 Thus in Birmingham if the time ever comes that a censorship board is created by law, the men selected will be given the positions through their own. personal spuhy' and that of their friends The matter of their education, broadness of vision and fitness to censor the works of the best brains of the world, will not be considered. in comparison with the fact that possibly the appofntee : is recommended hy the religious bodies of the city and his friends control several votes. This condition. is not peculiar to- Birmingham but is the rule in all other cities.

Villa. with two personal guards. ap- peared on the business streets or Ensiey Saturday afternoon and caused quite sensation so much, in fact that it was suggested that the Alabama National Guard should be called out and that he be captured and put in the city jail with heavy guard until instructions from the government were received as to what to do with the prisoner When three typical Mexicans were seen walking down Avenue E Saturday afternoon about 9 O clock nearly everyone on the street stopped and took good look at them and made some kind of remark. Words were passed around that they. were prob ably in this city for the purpose of blow
 ing up the steel plant or. maybe to buy ammunition for their army. It was sug- gested that the Tennessee company's off cais be notified at once of the Mexicans
 being in Ensley, so that they could put on heavy guard about the local plant
 for protection
 As the men reached the corner of Ave- nue E and Nineteenth street they stopped for few minutes and began looking around A crowd of curious citizens soon | dering what they were doing here. The
 Mexicans started walking down Avenue
 F toward Twentieth street and some of
 the crowd followed them When they
 got in front of the local express office u ey went inside and went back to the fear of the building and asked for a package of booze. When the clerk asked cor his name one of them replied Villa. 7 The word had not more than gotten out of his mouth when one of the clerks lodged behind the counter, while the other one was too surprised to move. Finally the Mexican stated his name was Felipe Villa and that he wanted to get package of joy water. The clerk soon got over his fright and delivered the package to the Mexican. He was told to go into the inspection office and
 have the package inspected. He held a little conversation with his two friends
 and then did as he was told. The in. srection clerks were also a little sur
 prised when he told them his name ant when asked for his address he gave the number of a house in the steel plant quarters. When asked If he was rela- tive of the notorious Francisco Villa. he stated that he was not and had only seen him once. As the Mexican left the inspectors office everyone in the place
 began talking about the Mexican inva
