"CENSORED."

Will Hays, official dry cleaner for
the motion picture industry. says the
producers are going back to attack
censorship by eliminating the neces-
sity for it,
This sounds sensible. Seeing will
be believing.
Observe that he admits the me
cessity."
The theatrical profession has been
fighting censorship SO long that the
earliest records are lost.
Modern boards of censors date
from 1912 when the Long Parliament
in England suppressed the theater
entirely. Chief reason for this, ac-
cording to the elder Disraeli, was
that the members Of parliament had
smarted so much under the satirical
whips of the dramatists.
This censorship was political, as
all forms of censorship tend to be-
come unless they are curbed by the
will of the people.
Theatricals eventually had to be
permitted again in England, because
the politicians could not stand up un-
der the brilliant sarcasm of songs
and petitions circulated by stage
writer's. Most famous of these was
the "Rump Song" Here's part of it:
Now while you reign, our low petit
ton Graves
That we, the kings true subjects and
your slaves,
May in our comic mirth and tragic
rage
Set up the theater and show the
stage
This shop of truth and fancy, where
we vow
Not to act anything you disallow.
We will not dare at your strange
votes to jeer
Or personate King Pym with his
state-fleer.
Your tragedies more real are ex-
press'd;
You murder men in earnest, we in
jest.
Actors at that time had the legal
status of vagabonds. But the bat
tie between the stage and politicians
kept up until the stage won.
Censorship in 1922. Censorship in
1912. The critics are stewing about
it now, as they were nearly three
centuries ago. People seem to have
the same basic troubles and prob.
lens, in varying degrees, in one gen.
Grafton as in the next.

Seeding is q little late, but other

port, which was made public today.

During the past week the weather
In Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and Montana has been cold and
cloudy. Scattered showers and snows
are reported, but there has been no
has sufficient moisture to germtna4e
the crops. and in some districts the
ground is too vet to work. Owing
to freezing during the nights, farm
ers have not been able to do much
early morning work.
The seeding Of wheat and coarse
grains is. almost completed in the
southern half Of the territory. In
the northern half conditions are spot
ted. In some places about 1917 OF
the wheat and durum has been sown.
There are few complaints Of the
shortage Of seed wheat.
Some reports indicate that a con-
| siderable quantity of bread wheat
mixed with durum. will be used for
seed. This undoubtedly will have
some effect on the quality of the
wheat crop. There are other reports
that owing to late seeding the wheat
acreage may be reduced. We feel,
however. that the farmers will SOW
all the wheat they possibly can be-

number Of good wheat crops have
been raised when seeded as late az

There is large acreage Of winter
rye in the northwest, and its condi-
tion is exceptionally good. The stand

thrifty than for several years past.

as to new ground being broken for
