TRIBUTE TO WILSON.

During his Chautauqua tour III
the South Atlantic and Middle West
ern states this spring and summer
in each of his lectures paid the fol-
lowing glowing tribute to the char
Iacter and achievements of President
Woodrow Wilson:
Combining as he does the pa
triotism of a Washington, the phil
osophy of Jefferson. the con-
structive genius of a Hamilton, the
courage OF Jackson, a Cleveland
and a Roosevelt, the yearning for
humanity of Lincoln and a McKin-
ley and the judicial temperament
of a Taft, Woodrow Wilson will go
down into history as immortal.
When the clouds of partisanship
have rolled away and his marvellous
achievements are read in the clear
light of history, President Wilson
will be regarded as one of the ablest
and purest statesmen who ever sat
in the presidential chair"
DR.. Brough sent President Wilson
copy of his tribute and received
from President Wilson very cordial
note of appreciation, in which he
signed his name firmly, Indicative
of the fact that he is still force
to be reckoned with in American
politics.

SPEED IN THE AIR.

Although the United States is far
behind several of the other nations
in aviation development, it is not
wholly idle. An assistant chief OF
the L. S. air service announced re-
Gently that this country is soon to
have the fastest pursuit planes IN
the world.
There are 10 of these new planes,
each of "A different type, and all
built primarily for speed. The slow
est of them will make 200 miles an
hour Since no two of them are
alike they furnish excellent oppor-
tunities for study and comparison
From the innovations in airplane
construction which they will test,
there may be evolved still another
type embodying the best of several
of this group.
So long as nations feel that money
must be spent on military prepared
ness. it seems evident that prepared
ness in the air will be vastly more
important than on land or sea.
Most citizens hope, however, that
all the marvellous improvements in
aviation may be turned chiefly to-
ward peaceful constructive uses.

IN FAVOR OF MOVIES.

A leading motion picture producer
recently made a survey of newspaper
opinion regarding the Influence of
moving pictures. OF 719 editors
who answered his queries, 400 ex-
pressed the belief that the influence
of the screen on community and
home life during the past 10 years
has been favorable. Negative replies
came from only 1872 editors, while
107 remained non-commttal. Five
out of every six editors regarded
the picture-going population as a
better censorship authority than or
ganized committees or public boards.
In making their replies the editors
sent in tabulated reports of the opin-
ions of church men and school au-
thorities in their communities. 1t is
Interesting to find that each of these
groups gave favorable majority for
the movies. They as well as the
editors, gave as the chief good
points OF the motion picture its
development of artistic sentiment, of
love for the great outdoors and OF
interest in scientific discoveries.
They were practically agreed that
moving pictures had made for
wider knowledge of American ideals,
customs and institutions.
Keeping these favorable points in
mind, one should glance over the
list of unfavorable criticisms, which
includes too many sex pictures,
mot true to life ideals and stand
ards too low vice and crime too
prominent and attractive cheaper
sacredness of domestic relation ''un
real standards of life and conduct.
''too much love- and too much de-
piction OF crime"

prevail, these FAULT, i Will haye to be
greatly lessened and eventually elm
mated. Public censorship is already
