We CANE, We SAW, We WERE
CONQUERED---MOV|E THEATRES

when the petition was presented
The discussion was opened by Mayor
Mathews, who stated the object of
the open session and invited argu-
ment by the petitioners for the Sun
day shows. f. f. Emm ick. manager
of the Grand theatre, presented the
petition, which he claimed carried
the names Of sc voters, stating that
he had no desire himself to enter
into the forensic clash. Privilege TO
advance the cause of the petitioners
was extended to anyone in the audi
ence, but there was no response.
The mayor then called for the
negative argument. The remon-
STRANGE was turned in by j. N. EN-
erson who had segregated the 92S
demonstrators into groups, as out
lined earlier in this story.
The Rev. J. G. Robinson of the
Episcopal church, took the members
of the council severely to task for
the cumbersome methods employed
in ascertaining the desires of the ma
jOrity of the people in the matter.
lie said: You brought an injustice
upon the community when you
caused the people to chase over the
hills with petitions to ascertain the
desires of the majority. You com
PEELED the community to stand on its
head to offset something they feel
ought not to be. You should have
gone with the petitions yourselves or
called a special election to decide the
matter"
The reverend gentleman said that
the churches did not take the initi-
atiye in the matter of remonstrance,
but that the leadership of the min
listers was solicited by the Christian
people to head off the threatened in
justice to the majority. He men
toned several evils which are bound
to accompany the circulation of pc
titions and circumstances concerning
any municipal question, and suggest.
ed the danger of disrupting the good
fellowship and good feeling OF "a com
munity through forcing the citizens
to align themselves for or against
municipal proposal.
The speaker stated that never
since the question was first opened
by the petition of the theatre man
ayers had he had any fears of the
outcome of the controversy. He said
that the circulation of the remon-
strances was absolutely unneeded so
far as ascertainging the wishes of
the majority was concerned, but that
the efforts of the demonstrating fac
ton were made necessary when fhe
defense of the will of the major
ity was forced upon them by the ac-
ton of the council
There is no need for a change
in any civic policy until there is a de-
mand for that change" said Prof. +.
a. Thomson in speaking for the re-
monstrators, and there is certainly
no great clamor for Sunday movies"
PROF. Thomson spoke from the stand

point of the college welfare. argu-
ing that the opening of the theatres
on Sunday would not be a step in the
right direction; that it would not i'm
prove the good moral atmosphere
which should surround a college
community. He said: The vast ma
jority of the parents who send their
boys and girls to school prefer TO
send them to college located In a
quiet well-ordered, law-abiding
town, where the temptations are few
The opening of the shows on Sun
day would serve TO decrease their
confidence in Pullman as such
place, rather than increase it,"
At the close OF the discussion
Councilman Duthie moved the i'm
definite postponement of action on
the petition but withdrew his motion
when it was suggested that the petit
tions should be checked. A motion
to file the petitions and remon-
strances and check them against the
registration books passed unanimous
ly, and Mrs. Myrtle S. Cardiff was
appointed to assist City Clerk Gan
non in checking the names.
Final action will be taken by the
council at its next meeting, but there
is little doubt that the desires OF the
demonstrating majority will be re.
spected.

properties providing him with
handsome income He was born In
Germany on the 18th day of March,
1910, and Is son of Jacob and

were then laid aside and he was
apprenticel to the blacksmlth's
trade, to the mastery of which he
diligently applied himself until 1867.
The entire family desired to found
new home in the United States, but
circumstances prevented such plans
at that time. Edward, however, al
though only "a youth of II years
had evinced the judgement and fore
sight of one many years his senior,
and It was decided that he should
go to the new world as the family's
emmisary and become established.
The year 1857 saw him on his way
to America and he arrived here with
ten dollars in his pocket, unfamiliar
with the language and the customs
of the country, but with a stout
heart, that knew no fear OF the flu
ture. He first located In Little
Falls, Herkimer county New York,
where he obtained work in dairy
at 25 cents per day. Hours were
long and his tasks were heavy, but
as % cents was considered good pay
for youth of his age at that time
he remained faithful to the work.
Anxious TO bring his people to this
country, he denied himself every
comfort and sometimes even the
necessities of life, boarding every
cent until he had accumulated s76.

diligence. he acquired a sufficient
sum 70 purchase so acres of land In

residence In the western state. but

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivei
up corns or calluses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that q few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
LUIS stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inf1ames or even irritatcs the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you
