over this country to be seen and alb
sorbed by our boys and girls, men and
women. The board contends that
though the adolescent period, from Il
to IS years, is the most impressionable
one boys and girls of this age should
see screen discussions of questionable
pictures and judge for themselves be-
tween the good and the bad. How blind
it is to the fact that these young monds
do not and cannot grasp the moral of
these subjects as mature minds do,
and that
"Vice is a, monster of so frightful a
mein
As to be hated, needs but to be seen,
Yet sen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first pity, then endure, then en-
brace
The national board Of review then
is unconsciously an aid to the produ-
Ger in his pernicious work.
Who is the third party to this de-
plorable state Of affairs? Alas, the
mother who allows her child to in
discriminatory attend the picture show
without knowing herself the nature
Of the picture to be seen. Do not
blame the local manager. He is too
often the victim of circumstances. I'm
der miserable trade condition, he
has little choice, having to accept the
pictures sent out in regular service"
Having the situation in mind, let US
apply the best remedy available at
present. The National Board of Re-
view has not solved the problem. Lee
gal censorship, though loudly called
for, has not been attained, and to my
mind will never solve the problem, for
if will place the matter in politics and
there will still be turmoil and dissat-
isfaction.
The ultimate solution to this great
problem will come through the estab-
lishment of national and state film Ii
braries, but this is thing of the flu
ture The immediate solution, is the
providing Of satisfactory programs for
children in the motion picture thea
tres throughout the land. this way
the child will be cared for and dis
cussion will be brought about which
will crystalize sentiment against ques-
tionable pictures and their violation
of public trust. 1t will be an easy mat
ter to place these programs for chill
dren in all the motion picture thea
tres in the land if the work is under
taken Alright But we must bear in
in mind these things: A local mana
ger cannot conduct these special pro-
grams himself successfully Your
committee must do it with his coop

, supnely by and see the very founda-
tons of home and society utterly
crushed? A thousand times No! We
must act, and act at once. 1t is I'M
perative.
Without a doubt the solution to
this great problem lies absolutely in
the hands of the mothers and the or
/ ganized womanhood of the country.
Let us look keenly into the situation
and then apply the best remedy avail
able at present.
| We have at last realized that pic
ture film producers are cold-hearted,
business men, and not philanthropy
lists. That they manufacture their
products for the whole world cater
ing largely to propaganda films, such
as deal with vice problems etc, made
merely to appeal to morbid curiosity
and not for any real good; sensation
al films, bringing profit to the pro-
i Queer in cold dollars. while the NOR
ais of the country are being dragged
in the very mire.
The producer then is the instigator
! of this motion picture evil hanging
like pail over this wide unthinking
world. | am aware of the fact that
| these producers are sending our repre-
sentatives who proclaim to the public
that pictures are produced according
to demands of public taste. But in
vindication of the high ideals of my
country, | challenge their statement,
and declare that their questionable
products are allowed merely through
American tolerance, and not through
demands of American tastes.
Next to the producer, with all due
respect to the national board of re-
! view, we must place some OF the re-
sn0nsibility of this great evil at its
Toor. As we know, this is an extra
legal body of volunteer workers ap-
pointed at the suggestion OF the film
manufacturer. On this board are
some of the representative people of
our country. Their business is to
riview all films, discarding objec-
tiorable ones and Offering suggestions
for improvements in others. 1t claims
20 discard thousands OF dollars worth
Of films as undesirab BILE, which other
wise would go to the public. This
Beng true, we readily realize that
the board is of service to the country.
But we must impeach its judgment
and condemn its moral vision, so long
as it continues to release such pic
lures as Chambers Common Law"
the vampire" pictures and others
even worse, which are exhibited all

BARRING
REPUBLICANS

The policy of Democrats never TO
accept, II 1t can be avoided. an amend
ment or other piece of legislation pro-
posed by a Republican is illustrated
in the attempt of Senator Joseph s.
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey to so
amend the recent deficiency bill as to
permit the construction Of roads i'm
mediately adjacent to the new army
cantonments. Although armed with a
letter from the secretary Of war. writ
ten the day before. in which the ur-
gent need Of the legislation was set
forth, Senator Frelinghuysen got
scant consideration from the Demo
cratic chairman Of the appropriations
committee, who maintained that the
secretary Of war ought to have in
formed the committee at an earlier
day" The chairman was supported in
his position By his party colleagues,
and the amendment was unceremon-
b0zzly rejected

OPPOSES
METHODS

The many bills that congress is
called upon to pass, the subject mat
ter OF which should have been in
cluded in measures already enacted,
has led Representative Edward z.
Robbins Of Pennsylvania to call the
matter to the attention Of the house.
Mr.. Robbins received the impression
that the bill appropriating 100000
900 for construction of aeroplanes
contained all necessary provisions for
the efficient organization of our avia-
ton service. 1t later developed, how
ever. that an aircraft board must be
created, separate appropriations made
for its maintenance, and authority
granted it to appoint such assistants
as it may need, at any salary it
wishes. While Mr.. Robbins was of
opinion that the Democratic method
of dividing a large project like that Of
aviation, into separate bills, is not a
wise or efficient one

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is By a constj-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness
Is caused by an infamed condition
OF the mucous lining OF the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when 1t Is entirely
closed deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases Of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an iniamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness

STORY or SEAGOING STEER
IL Floated Around New York Harbor
for Many Hours and Caused Much
Excitement Before Rescued.

Several l-ongshOremen were biting
into thick sandwiches Of garlic on the
water front when there came a prOdi-
gious humping on the plank under
meath. The floor Of the pier gave forth
a hollow sound.
One Of the lOngshoremen. the Brook
Iyn Eagle testifes. swallowed his gar
lie the wrong way and let out a Polish
exclamation. Then be bent over and
applied his eyes TO a crack in the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything Ia the murk, but al length
a pair Of green eyes met his horrffied

conclusive evidence of a personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the p~lanking and a long tail
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest Of the longshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story, as their
knees smote one against another and
their hands CROPPED feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first Ii was a case of greenhouse"
whisky, but he finally sent a man down
{ investigate. The %patrolman found
that the apparition was only a steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what TO do and his
police manual Y him no help. Oh
viously he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll ii over a barrel Nor
could he give II an antidOte for poison
At last he had a bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being al a dock and therefore,
per sc a fit subject for the dock de-
partment.
The dock department responded-or
part Of II did-with saws. Then having
opened a nice round hole IN q Of the
ety's docks, its work was done. and Il
