MOTION PICTURES ARE SILENT
TEACHERS

All kinds Of pictures teach silently.
Motion pictures teach more impress
sively than painted pictures. Parents
must realize the fact that the movies
are teaching our children either good
or evil. This is because motion pic
lures possess in a marked degree,
the first quality essential TO teach
ing-the element of interest. They
often are accepted by children as
greater authority than home, school
or church.
Psychologists agree that it is the
detail which instructs, rather than
the long drawn out theme. A picture
may end wholesomely and yet be
unwholesome in its effect, if every
detail is not pure. A thread of good
running through story is not 'suf-
ficient. The texture must be all good,
if the effect is to be all good.
Children love the story depicted.
They temporarily become the villain
or hero, as the case may be, so
strong is their imagination and power
to project themselves into the story.
Instruction in crime educates our
young people to become criminals.
The constant portrayal of evil "pop-
ularizes evil" A child is usually ready
to do what he sees everybody else
doing.
Constantly to inject into the mind
thoughts of killing, of death, of an
ger, jealousy and revenge, of suffer-
ing, both mental and physical, is to
stiffle tenderness and sympathy. To
see suffering without making an ef-
fort to relieve that suffering, reacts
unwholesomely upon the spectator.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-03-11

Vulgarity, immodesty and situations
generally termed as "slapstick" have
tendency to lower the standard of
taste, thus weakening the moral fibre.
At first children do not understand
many suggestive situations, but the
constant portrayal of the same, fin
ally enlightens them. Far more chill
dren than we are aware, understand
these suggestions and questioning
child on this subject rarely secures
frank statement of his knowledge.
Lurid posters displayed outside
motion picture theater, brand the
house as a menace to the community
and limit the audience. Many people
will not enter a theater displaying
such posters. The theater is an eye
sore to the very patrons whom the
manager seeks to attract. The pecu-
liar fact is, that the posters often are
not true representation of the pic
ture on the screen. Many children
crowd about these posters drinking
in every degrading detail, even though
they do not attend the performance.
The best kind of censorship is Sc
lection, which builds up the things
which are worth while to the final ex-
clusion of the worthless.
The establishment of carefully
planned children's matinees for little
children and family programs for
adolents, furnishes a counter attrac-
ton. Pictures on the plane of the
child's thinking are, after all, more
Attractive to them and persistent eff
fort in this method of exhibiting
wholesome films will help to restore
the poise and culture which our over
stimulated children are now in dan
ger of losing.

JACKSON COUNTY
BOOTLECGER NABBED
Police Claim To Have Real
Goods On Man Arrested
Friday Night

Frank Collins of Jackson who came
to Richmond Friday afternoon, and is
still here having been arrested Friday
night on a charge of bootlegging, af-
ter his suspicious actions had been
carefully noted by. patrolmen William
Maupin and officer Turner. They fol-
lowed Collins to the railway depot,
where they claim to have had witness
es to the sale Of pint of whisky to
one Thomas Coyle, Of Richmond. The
men were taken to police station,
where Coyle admitted having bought
the whisky, stating that he purchased
it for another man. This was proven
true. However, Coyle was placed un-
der bond by City Judge G.. Murray
Smith. Collins was placed under
bend in the sum of 5000, which he
could not furnish and was sent to
jail.
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock,
Coyle failed to put in an appearance
for the trial, and a capias, was issued
fer him and the case was continued
until o'clock Saturday evening. In
the meantime, Collins languishes in
the county Jail.
A peculiar incident took place dur
ing the trip to police headquarters
With Collins was man named Baker
not connected with the case. Along
the sidewalk in front of police station
the city firemen had placed number
of lines of fire hose to dry. Following
the officers and prisoners to the
station, was Chief Police Devore. He
saw something bright lying upon the
hose, and he picked up a revolver OF
large calibre. 1t is not known tC
whom it belonged but one of the three
men, either Collins, Coyle or Baker
fearful that he would be arrested fol
carrying deadly weapon, took the
opportunity of ridding himself of it
since the arresting officers did moi
search the men upon apprehending
them. The fire hose made an excel
lent place, since the gun was dropped
upon it without making noise anc
the police were none the wiser.

COX SEEMS TO HAVE
WON INSTRUCTIONS
Democrats Meet In State Con-
vention At Louisville Tuesday
To Settle Matter

Gov. Cox, of Ohio seems tc
have won a big majority of the
delegates to the Democratic state
convention, which cOnvenes il
Louisville Tuesday. Most OF
Madison county's 33 delegates
named at the county convention
here Saturday, have gone down
to Falls City to be on hand for
the convention. Others will 60
on late trains today.
This convention promises to be
one OF the most interesting that
the Democratic party has held III
Kentucky in many years, not
only because OF the fact that the
women are participating active
ly in politics for the first time
but because of the fact that d
nice little scrimmage promises to
be on-the program over the qucs-
tion of whether or not Kentucky
shall instruct her delegates to the
national convention at Chicago
If friends OF Gov. Cox are in the
majority in the convention, Ken
tucky's delegates will be in
structcd for him. Those who ia
vor in uninstructed delegation to
San Francisco are said to favor
the nomination of former Secre-
tary of Treasury McAoo. All
counties have not reported as. yet
through the papers but it seems
that Cox has Il substantial ma
iority and that his friends w
organize the convention.
The convention which will
meet at noon at Phoenix Hill,
and the District Conventions will
be held at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, There is a splendid
feeling manifested among the
delegates and from every section
comes the report that the party
is in excellent shape for the fight
this fall.
