GOSSIP AT THE
STATE CAPITAL
(8y JOHN c. TRlCE)

II is common talk here that this has
been the quietest session of the legis-
lature even seen, and that is perhaps
true. 1t is also predicted that it Is
going to be one of the liveliest in a
short time. That may also be true,
for there are some matters coming
up that will make great fights. The
disposition has been to put things
through by the diplomacy route, and it
has been worked so successfully that
way that no news stories have been
breaking. For the fellow that is los
Ing out this is getting to be tiresome
as tho days of the session drag by.
It is noteworthy that while a des-
perate effort is being made to work
~ sentiment in favor OF moving the
apltol to some other place there Is
considerable element in the southern
ma eastern part of the state who do
'ot favor It. Among the latter are
i'ne Of the most prominent people in
"e sections named.

 Tn speaking of the request made by

 GIVES VIEWS .'It was the idea of the committee to have the amusement censor go at the 1 work of raising the standard of amuse- ments to higher plane gradually. U was our idea that she should inspect all pictures and see that any objectionable senes are cut out and that she would | insist on sufficient clothing and decent songs and dialogue on the vaudeville stages and other shows.
 l I've believed this work would be a help rather than a hindrance to the | amusement men, since it would cause a great many people who do not go to any amusements for fear they will see and hear something disgusting, to form the 1 habit of going.
 l How and when the movies will De censored will probably be taken up with 1 the movie men. Whether they VIII ue seen by the officer at a private showing and passed on, or objected to after they are being shown will probably be left
 with the amusement men themselves.
 "The laws in Birmingham as they stand | today are entirely adequate, and Witn
 a little enforcement would, I believe, be uplifting to the moral conditions of the
 city.
