OPPOSING FORCES N
SUPREMACY BATTLE
Advocates and Opponents of Sunday
Movies Exert Every Effort to In
fluence COuncil--Many Peti-
tiOns Are Out

The past week has been one of
extreme activity on the part of the
opposing forces in the Sunday movie
agitation, and nothing has been left
undone by either faction that might
strengthen the cause which that fac
tion supports. The battle for su-
premacy, while hard-fought, has
been an honorable one, and only
honest means are being employed by
both sides in the interests of their
cause.
The situation will come to eli
max next Tuesday evening, when the
city council, after weighing carefully
all the evidence" submitted by
both sides, will consider the petition
recently presented by the managers
of the two theatres asking that they
be permitted to operate Sunday af-
ternoons from 200 to 600. The
council invited expressions of opin-
ion and arguments pro and con from
the citizens.
The opposing forces organized at
once and every citizen will be given
an opportunity to go on record, for
or against, before Tuesday evenings
session of the council Petitions ia
varing the Sunday opening of the
movies are being circulated by the
movie managers, while the churches
are sponsir for petitions Of remon.
STRANGE. House to house canvasses
are being made by both forces and
very few citizens are refusing to sign
one of the papers.
The adherents of the Sunday
movies claim to already have the sig
natures of 700 voters, or over SO per
cent of the city's largest registra-
ton. The petitions or remonstrance
also bear the signatures of HUNDREDS
of opponents of Sunday theatres and
the issue is being bitterly contested,
though in quiet way. The ques-
tlOu was Hldue the SUBJECT vi uiS-
cussion from most of the city pulpits
Sunday and mem bers of the various
congregations were enlisted in the
cause The Rev j. W. Caughlan of
the Methodist church offered his
pulpit for 80 minutes to any advo-
cate of the plan who wished to speak
in its favor, but without response.

Editor Herald:
The reason given for opening the
theatres on Sunday--that the manag-
ers may earn more MONEYS the
lamest imaginable On the same
ground every merchant in Pullman
might ask to be allowed to run his
business on Sunday. When we had
saloons in Pullman. we did not allow
them to sell liquor on Sunday, al
though, if we had. they would un-
questionably have done ore bust
ness on Sunday than on any other
day of the week. There is only one
reason that can be given for opening
the theatres on Sunday, namely to
satisfy public need. With two pic
ture shows running six days every
week, is there anyone who will come
forward and tell US that 1t ID a public
necessity to have them run also on
Sunday? ALBERT E. EQQE.

OPENING Of NEW \. P. DEPOT
ATTRACTS TREMENDOUS CROWD

OF the brain naturally causes an eX-
OF the skull. stretches the skin by
which it is covered. The stretching
OF the skin opens the pores, and the
opening of the pores causes the hair
to fall out. The man who does not
use his brain retains his hair, which
fact, the speaker maintained, ac-
counted for the luxurious growth on
the head of his friend, H. j. Titus.
He stated that much of the credit for
securing the new depot was due to
Agent Laird.
Mr.. Charlton is noted for his abil-
ity as an after dinner speaker and
Friday night was at his best. His re-
mark that he did not know how to
end his speech were greeted with as
sruances from the crowd that they
were glad of it and hoped that he
would keep on indefinitely.
II. j. Titus, who had already dem
onstrated that he well deserves his
reputation as a prince of mixers and
all round good fellow, also proved
that he is no SLOUGH as an orator.
While he kept his audience in good
humor, he drove home a few serious
thoughts with telling effect. When
| was 4 years old" he exclaimed, Il
was washing dishes for living, and
| want to tell you young men that
there are plenty of fine opportunities
open to any one who is willing to do
little more work and thinking than
his fellow workers" One of his
statements, which evoked a roar of
applause was: II have visited many
colleges, including your own, and
can say that you have the greatest
one in the United States, a college
that is giving better and more far
reaching results from an agricultural
standpoint than any other"
He told about bringing a sample
of a diseased potato vine to the
college, and the promptness and the
courtesy with which his request for
an investigation of the disease and
its remedy had been met. He stated
that the dining car department of the
Northern Pacific uses five or six tons
OF potatoes each day and said that If
the farmers around Pullman would
raise them. he would pay $40 a ton
above the market price for good po-
tatoes weighing one and a half
pounds or over.
After the speaking, punch and
cake were served by a number of
high school girls in the ladies' wait
ing room. Superintendent Titus had
furnished $500 individual fruit cakes
made in the dining car department
bakery, with the trade mark OF the
Northern Pacific worked out In the
had prepared punch for 1000 people.
There was tremendous rush for the
refreshments. but the crowd was
good natured and no accidents oc-
Cured. After the refreshments the
waiting room was cleared and the
young people danced. while many OF
the elder ones remained to look on.
Music was furnished by Masek's or
chestra. The depot had been prettily
decorated for the occasion with flags
and bunting by G. r. Lonergan.
AS a result OF the gathering the
railroad officials went away with a
very friendly feeling for Pullm an.
and a spirit OF good will and co
operation was fostered which is like
ly to result in many future benefits
to the city.

YES

Editor Herald:
favor the Sunday picture show in
Pullman because IL will furnish
Mace of innocent enjoyment for
large number unreached by the
churches. Such people, mostly men
and boys, will not remain at home
throughout day of inactivity. Stand
ing on the streets. spending money
for candy. tobaccos, soft drinks, etc,
lounging in any place allowed them
are three least harmful ways open to
them for spending their time. Idle
ness In association is the surest con-
tributor to sin. 1t causes dissatisfac-
tion with life in the town and in the
home.
II picture shows are taboo on Sun
day--if they are immoral on the sew
enth day-they are none the less so
on the other six days of the week.
But they are approved universally as
the worlds greatest instructive and
entertaining agency. To be as near
ly exact as possible | will say that of
the 400 or more moving picture
shows In the state of Washington, all
but seven are open to the public on
Sundays. Two of these seven are in
the city of Pullman.
Why can not we have them too
place for our boys and young men
who are not reached by the churches
and whose healthy liveliness finds
the quietude and monotony of a
whole day intolerable. Why can not
the wife in all cases have the chance
to accompany her husband to the pic
ture show rather than have him leave
her at home on Sundays for the con-
genlality of men friends who will de-
wise means of mutual interest that
may be none too elevating?

Everybody Had Good Time and
Northern Pacific Officials Were
Delighted at Demonstration

The horde of Pullman citizens and
farmers which last Friday evening
filled every inch of floor space in the
magnificent new Northern Pacific de-
pot, with scores standing outside on
the platform, attested, in a silent but
forceful way, the gratitude which
Pullman feels toward the Northern
Pacific railway company for the
many favors extended by that system,
particularly for the erection here of
the handsome and commodious sta
ton for the use and convenience of
its patrons. Everybody had a good
time and the visiting railroad Off
Gals were delighted at the demon
stration and the cordial welcome ac-
corded them
The party of railroad representa-
tives arrived on the noon train from
Spokane and included A. d. Charlton,
assistant general passenger agent, of
Portland, Ore; II. j. Titus, superin-
tendent of the dining car department,
with headquarters at st. Paul Mimi:
B. c. Pettibone. general baggage
agent, of st. Paul Mimi; w. H. Ude,
city passenger agent of Spokane; M.
A. Berg. travelling passenger agent.
and c. r. Lonergan, general agent,
Spokane. The visitors were escort
ed to the Palace hotel, where they
had dinner, and later were taken in
automobiles to the city artesian we'll,
which had been uncapped so that
they could see ii flowing, and then
over the college campus. They were
out for good time and when they
learned that the interscholastic bas-
ket ball tournament was in progress,
expressed a wish to see it, and five
minutes after they had entered the
gymnasium were roofing for and
cheering the Walla Walla and Pull
man teams with a pep and enthusi-
asm which would have done credit
to a bunch of school boys
The crowd began to gather at the
depot as soon as the evening train
for Lewiston had departed, and by
500 o'clock the waiting room was
packed to capacity with men, women
and children, while many who could
not get inside stood on the platform
and looked through the windows.
Mayor Mathews presided and in
troduced the speakers in a humorous
vein, which aroused frequent ap-
plause. VIM. Goodyear, on behalf
of the chamber of commerce and the
business men, welcomed the railroad
officials to Pullman and expressed
the deep appreciation of the citizens
for the new depot which. he predict
ed, would give the city very valuable
advertising with the travelling public.
w. H. Ude was the next speaker
and briefly reviewed the history of
the building of the Northern Pacific
and some of the obstacles encount-
cred and overcome.
A. d. Charlton was then intro
duced and kept the crowd in a roar
of laughter by his humorous remarks
and witty sallies at the expense OF
Titus and the other speakers. He
began by saying that he had written
all the .scpeeehes but his own. Re-
ferring TO his age and the lack of
hair on the top of his head. he
advanced the theory that any man
who reads and thinks and studies de-
velops his brain. The development

wish to use the columns of your
paper to express my protest against
the opening of the movies on Sunday.
The movie men say there are about
seven towns in the state that do not
have the movies open on Sunday,
therefore, Pullman should be pro-
gressive and fall in line. Pullman Ia
different from most towns in that It's
problems are different and these
should not become any more compli-
Gated than is necessary.
If the movies are allowed to be
open on Sunday from 200 to 600
p. m. it will not be long until they
will be open from 700 to 1000
p. m. and the next step will be the
opening OF other commercialized
amusement places on Sunday.
The fact that Pullman Is without
movies on Sunday is an asset OF in
calculable value, STAGE 1t Is a fact
which Is noted by parents who have
sons and daughters to be educated
