RECOMMENDS CRITICISM OF
PICTURE SHOW OFFERINGS

Hardly anyone yer claps at a pic
ture theatre, and unless an audience
is moved to downright laughter. II Is
not easy to tell whether any particu-
lar item in the program has been re-
ceived with approval or merely toler-
ated in the hope of something better
coming along later" There is much
point in this comment, made by a re-
cen writer on the much-discussed
question of the cinematograph. 1t Is
not easy to see what the remedy is to
be, but that intelligent and disinter-
ested criticism of the press, which Is
being increasingly advocated, by those
best qualified to speak on the ques-
ton, would undoubtedly help consid-
erably. The criticism must, however,
be intelligent and disinterested, some
thing very different from the inter-
ested puff" for a particular film or
a particular theatre, which does duty
for so much of the press criticism o.
the cinematograph today.-fChristia1

deny that it is the dawn of a new and

PRUSSIA RULES GERMANY.

Various high officials of the German
Empire are also important officials of
this Prussian Government. which is
controlled absolutely by the Emperor
and his clique. 1t is this Prussian clique
which, in its turn, dominates the Bun
desrat, or Council of Empire. And it
is for this reason that franchise re-
form in Prussia is a matter of such
consequence to Germany as whole,
and has become an affair of such vital
bearing upon the universal problems of
war and peace.
The German Empire rests upon a
constitution framed in 1871, which
makes the King of Prussia the 'Deut-
scher Kaiser" German Emperor), and
gives him the supreme direction of the
military and political affairs of the
Empire and the control of its interna-
tional relations. The Reichstag is in
deed elected on the basis of universal
manhood suffrage. OF its membership
of 1897, there are 236 deputies from
Prussia.
1t is evident that if a considerable
part of the administrative control of
the country could be taken away from
the Emperor's clique as controlling the
Bundesrat and could be vested in the
Reichstag, which represents the Ger
man people latter the manner of the
American House of Representatives
or the British House of Commons),
there would soon occur succession of
profound changes in the policies and
methods of German government, so

national need. They seem to look at
the war as simply grand opportunity
to make commercial "killing."
The passage of the food bill with the
Pomerene amendment will, it is be-
lieved, enable the government to take
effective measures. If the producers
refuse to come down to an equitable
price, the government is authorized To-
take over the mines. 1t is drastic
remedy, but drastic remedies are need
ed. The coal men cannot complain.

determine the judgment of the individ-
ual. You can pretty accurately meas
ure the man by the stand he takes on
this momentous struggle.
Doubts and fears are expressed and
patriotic men may differ as to means
and methods but it remains that there
is nothing more certain than that the
ultimate outcome of this war will re-
suit in higher state of civilization and
secure greater equity and justice for
che individual. The evolution is going
on in all life, business, the school, the
church and in the very nature of things
must operate in the economic and
political sphere. Woman suffrage is
coming, prohibition is coming and the
people will eventually rule universally
| throughout lne earIH anu no COnDlnd-
ton is powerful enough, no human en-
genuity far-seeing enough and no guns
big enough to stop it. The days of
slavery and injustice of every name
and nature were numbered the moment
the people see them for what they are.
Autocratic government cannot long
survive in the fierce light of twentieth
century intelligence.
Cruelty and injustice can only sur
vive and wax strong in darkness and
ignorance. The allies cannot do other
than to pay the awful price. The Cen
trail Powers were doomed to ignomin-
ious defeat from the day their boards
get foot on Belgium's soil.

THE PRICE OF COAL.
Chicago Tribune.


Testimony from all sources is that
the price of coal is indefensibly high.
Nothing can be more certain than that
the coal men have manipulated the
price till it has reached point beyond
all reason. If there is any justification
for this procedure the producers have
signally failed to make it known.
1t is evident that no appeal to patriot
ism will protect the public from this
piece of extortion. The desire for
profits has blinded the coal men as a
whole to all sense of public welfare or

Gov PHILIP is to be commended fer
his decision to appeal to President viii
son personally to aid in warding off a
coal famine in Wisconsin, even if he
has TO go to Washington and stay there
until he gets satisfaction. He places
the trouble on the labor situation at
the coal mines, and intimates that the
railway companies are ready for action
to relieve the people. Being distinctly
of and for the railroad moguls, what
else could the governor claim in an effort
to display interest in the people of his
state. But how can he explain away
the generally conceded fact that rail-
road and coal mine operators are one
and the same, and that during the last
year or two in particular, thousands of
carloads of coal have been held on side
tracks for days and days throughout
the country while people suffered in
consequence? OF course prices went
up, but wasn't that the scheme?
