'Our idea is to have the motion pictures regulated just like the banks and the railroads" the reformer ex- plained. We want to have a board of censorship that will correspond to the United States supreme court. I believe there should be a membership of at least seven, men of the highest character, men who could command a salary of s4,00O a year. I would then have boards of deputies in vari- ous cities and make it possible for appeals to be taken to the higher an- thority. State censorship of the nov ies has proved inadequate.

VAMP KISSES, UMM!
 CALLED WORST KIND
Reform Preacher Would BaniSh
 Them From Sight in Movies

Washington, D. c, Dec. 15.-The Rev. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superin- tendent of the International Reform Bureau, Inc. is going forth to reform that unguided portion of American youth which is tempted after seeing a movie to go out and shoot up town or rob a bank: those persons in the United States. Canada and Mexico who persist in long distance betting on tho races: those who arc thirsty enough to drink liquor that is taken out of bonded warehouses and those in China who take morphia if they arc able to get it.
 pr. Crafts said so yesterday at tho headquarters of the International Reform Bureau, Inc. building set comfortably near the capitol, away from tho influences of vice. Anybody who has any other idea about what the International Reform Bureau, Inc, Is trying to do has 1t entirely wrong. There is no movement on foot the Rev. Dr. Crafts averred. to close up movies on Sunday or any other day, except so far as the Dis trict of Columbia is concerned. There the blue law Sunday closing is to stop, at least for the present.
 The hands of the International Re form Bureau, Inc, are full with it's effort to put through during the pres ent year the specific corrections as they apply to the United States. Can ada. Mexico and China The bluo laws Of the District of Columbia is , a side line entirely.
 Four Reforms This Year. The four reforms that constitute the years program arc:
 1. Federal censorship for the nov ies.
 2. The prevention Of the smuggling of morphine from America into China.
 2. The Interstate and international transmission of bets between Canada and Mexico and the several states as applied to the races.
 {. The removal of the whiskcy stock of the country from something like 600 bonded warehouses and it. deposit in about six bonded ware ouscs. where 1t Is less likely to be stolen.
 Soaring above all the other great Issues is that of the movies dn Am | erica, in the mind of the Rev. pr. | Crafts. The worst feature of the sil- yer screen is the kissing, kissing by vampires. unholy, unwhoIesomc kiss

time was when the evil was not so great, but now the thing is different The rough element that used to hang out in the barroom is going to the movies and there, inspired by the willy vamps. makes prey of unsus- pecting women of tender age. Statis- tics of everything bad that has hap pened as a direct result are in the course of preparation.
 Two Kinds of Kisses.
 There are two kinds of kisses. the Rev. Dr. Crafts has decided after con- siderable study. First, there is the sacred kiss, which is far too sacred to be portrayed on the screen. Then there is the infamous kiss. which is far too infamous to be pictured. Those are the kisses Of the vamp. Those are the sort that should be ruled out of the reel.
New Britain herald., 1920-12-15
"Yes." he replied. "Quite a lot"

"Yes,'' he replied. Quite lot"
 Enough" he replied, ito know how bad they are.'
 In the opinion of pr. Crafts, the people of the United States are not yet ready for the application of the blue laws" or Sunday closing. The International Reform Bureau is not making any campaign of this sort at this time. he said, except to give it's

Wheaton. 1.-TWO years ago, in order
to divide the opposition, they were
responsible for the. filing Of third

for the Democrats. out of loyalty to

result was many thousands of Demo-

Burnquist then showed his graft
tude by going to Chicago and making
speech in which he stated that there
was no Democratic party left in Min
nesota, that they had all gone over to
the Socialists. This in spite of the
fact that admittedly thousands of
Democrats had voted for him and in
spite Of the fact that he knows that
the nonpartisan Republicans have
their strongholds in the formerly
heavily Republican counties"
Mr.. Wheaton said that the partisan
Republicans are endeavoring to
create the impression again this year
that ito save the state" they should

all reports show that Preus is going
