TIMII TO THINK.

The closing Of the legislative ses-
sion in North Dakota relieves the
strain under which many Of our peo-
pie have .been for the past months
The state has for the time being been
saved from most of tho wild legisla-
ton which was threatened by the
leaders of the Non-Partisan league
and there will be time now to check
matters over ana do some thinking
before another campaign IL on.
In many localities the dictatorial
methods Of the hoxses have become so
clearly recognized, nnd are SO distaste-
full to independent mon that there is
marked falling of in league men,
bership and support. There are local
tiles, 1t is true. where there has been
an increase IN membership, but, SO
far as information is available, these
are very few, and In nearly all cases
are In territory which had previously
been practically untouched by league
organizers, In such eases any enroll
naeat is an increase.
The general situation, however. ap-
pears to be that there is a very do
eided falling off In membership, and
that everywhere. even whore member
ships have been renewed, there Ia O.
disposition to investigate, and to as
certain just what all the facts per-
eaining to the management Of the
leagues affairs are before proceeding
further.
This is a hopeful sign. When men
begin to investigate for themselves.
and to form their own conclusions ana
do their own thinking crooked plans

demineerins methods Of Townley have

Il am not in favor OF Federal cen,

Mrs. Jacob John Locher. chairman
of the motion picture committee of

-ence at st. Johns Parish Hall, in con-
nection with picture she had just

She displayed advertising relating
to the picture and said 1t had been
described in advertising mater as
showing ''The greatest criminals of
Paris in the most daring exploits"
Canon w. l. DeVries, president of
the conference, during an open dis
cussion, remarked:
Just as we do not censor our news
papers so we should not censor mo-
ton pictures"
Canon De Vries added that he ia
vored a law which would prohibit at

rents.

Mrs. Locher was the principal
speaker before the conference, which
embraces the Episcopal Churches in
the diocese Of Washington. She made
an appeal for the support of the chill
dren's matinees which she had ar
ranged under the auspices of the
club women. Explaining that free
demonstration matinees already have
been given, Mrs. Locher said:
To-day begins the battle of the
pay matinees. If mothers fail to sup
port this movement you can't blame
managers for not giving us the pic

would be this danger"
Varying Judgements.
She told of one picture which had
been approved by women and COM
mended by a clergyman which, after
its showing to the children, had been
taken of by the manager Of another
house as being Objectionable.
She said the worst film she had
ever seen, from a moral standpoint,
had run through three circuits N

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION
Delay on Legislative Bill Makes
Jam Likely.

Slow progress on the Legislative bill
in the Senate caused renewal of extra
session talk about the Capitol today.
1t is pointed out that IL other i'm
portant appropriation bills take as
much time, little more will be done
this winter but deal with the supply
measures. In fact, the question Is
being asked whether all of them will
be passed. However, IL there is jam
in the closing days of the session, as
expected, no doubt some of them will
be rushed through with little con-
sideration.
Long debate Is looked for over the
revenue legislation and the railroad
program Is still in the air.
Democratic leaders admit that fail
ure to pass revenue legislation or rail-
road legislation may lead to an extra
session.
