TWENTY YEARS AGO|
Taken from The Ely Miner of
the same date in 1902.


Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Leighton cele-
brated the tenth anniversary of
their marriage at their home at
Winton last Friday evening amid a
large party of invited guests. A
most enjoyable evening was spent
with dancing and other forms of
merrymaking. The hostess served
a most delicious lunch to which all
applied themselves vigorously and
with a great degree of satisfaction.
Wagner's orchestra furnished music.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leighton were the re-
ceipients of many presents as NOM
entos of the occasion and tokens of
esteem by the guests. The wishes
for the many. returns of the day
were general and the Miner joins
the host of friends of the couple
in the well wishes. May they cele-
brate their golden anniversary.
The woodchucks and other animals
of weather prophesying proclivities
who have all along been predicting
an open winter came to grief with
their representations Monday morn
ing when the thermometers here
abouts showed something like 80
below zero. The open winter is
open at both ends and the wind and
frost doing the heavy work. Con-
siderable snow is also st hand.
The average man feels bad but the
loggers are smiling.

AT the last meeting of the county
commissioners, the bounty on wolves

raised to S25 for full grown fe-

five months of the year. A male

WASHINGTON, Feb. e-The goal Of

cording to reports on the subject recent

During the last few months more than
e5 per cent Of the seamen placed Oh

CENSORSHIP BY
PUBLIC URGED
New York Drama League
Offers Suggestion.

NEW YORK, Feb. e.-Because they be-
lieve State censorship OF plays would be
fatal to dramatic art, members Of the
New York Drama League have launched
a campaign for a voluntary censorship
of plays by the theatergoing public.
A plan evolved by Charles Coburn,
Of the Producing Managers Association,
has been approved by play-wrights. man.
ayers and actors. It would provide for
an agreement between theater owners,
producers Of plays and actors to the
effect that any play deemed by a COM
petent jury Of laymen to be unworthy or
unfit for production would be withdrawn
without further notice and without legal
action.
Upon receipt Of sufficient complaints
about any play the commissioner OF
licenses would select from a panel Of
500 specially chosen Jurors FIVE persona
to witness and pass on the play. Their
decision would be final The jurors would
be chosen by the various theatrical oE-
ganizatiOns.
A committee from the Drama League
is preparing an answer to be sent to
Albany to reply to the proposed State
censorship hackers.
The new plan would do away with
the publicity given such a play as The
Demi-Virgin," once suspended by court
action, but later reinstated. It is now
playing on Broadway.

STATE BUREAU OF LABOR

For less than $4,000 per year,
the commonwealth Of Virginia
maintains and operates its Bureau
of Labor and Industrial Statistics.
The exact sum, as estimated III
the budget Tor the biennlu1n OF
1924. is S5z,252. The work OF
this Bureau pertains to all ques-
involving the relations between
capital and labor, industrial con?
troversies and economic problems.
Especially is the Bureau active III
rendering assistance IN the en-
forcement of laws governing the
employment of women and chill
dren, and the collection and dis
semination OF information con-
corning women and children in IN
dustry.
AS will be seen, the Bureau has
important functions to perform
and its commissioner IS the only
representative that organized
labor has in the administration OF
state affairs. There is a move
nlent on foot, looking either to the
abolition Of this Bureau or It's
merger with some other depart
ment, making it a subordinate
branch.
There are some three thousand
trades u1ionists in Alexandria, and
we are given to understand that
they are to man, bitterly opposed
TO this movement. There are
various selfish motives i'll conceal
ment, and the real authors do not
dare to come out i'll the open. we
urge State Senator Oliver and
delegate Smith to use their utmost
endeavors to defeat SO ii1iquitor;s
d measure.

Dear Sir: ~.
I wish to thank you for your
editorial in the Alexandria Gazette OF
February 1st, complimenting the tele-
phone service rendered in Alexandria
during the recent blizzard.
1t may be interesting to you to know
that Sunday, January goth, our
operators completed very nearly one
thousand calls between Alexandria
and Washington, D. C. The average
number of calls on Sundays has usual
" run around three hundred mes
sages. Then, of course, you know
that the local usage of the telephone
increased tremendously on account OF
this blizzard.
We are truly proud of the way in
which the operators responded to this
emergency, and we wish to extend oul
thanks and deep appreciation Of youl
kind remarks. | am satisfied that oul
operators will feel encouraged to dc
still better job, if possible, shoulc
such an emergency arise again.
Thanking you again for youl
