THE SUNDAY MOVIES

Why all the talk about closing the
moving picture theatres Sundays?
It is really ridiculous to give the
crusade" as some would call it, a.
thought. The percentage of people
advocating Sunday closing for the
movies is so small as to be most neg
ligible. What harm is there in at
tending the moving picture show on
Sunday, especially when they are con-
Quoted as they are in Hamilton. The
owners and managers of the moving
picture theatres in Hamilton are all
clean gentlemen, men Of family, men
who would not for an instant counte-
nance the showing Of unclean, I'M
moral or distasteful pictures in their
theatres. The pictures are simply of
light entertainment, good for the soul
of the average person.
Close the moving picture shows on
Sundays and what form of harmless
recreation is there left for the work
ingman, especially is this true during
the winter months. The average
workingman does not have the time
to attend picture shows during any
afternoon, as no doubt hackers of the
crusade have, and at night, after a
hard days work in the shop, he does
MT have the inclination to dress up
and attend theatre-he's too blamed
tired, and all he asks is to be let
alone. About the only time he is
rested up enough and feels that he
wants a little recreation outside his
home and church is on Sunday, and he
then likes to take the family to the
movies. And the crusaders" would
deny him this? After workingman
has toiled all week in shop, attend
ed his church on Sunday morning,
what harm is there in it for him to
attend a moving picture theatre in
the afternoon or evening, to play
baseball, go autoing, bathing or in
dulge in some other form of light
recreation? There is NONE.
Those back of the movement for
closing the theatres on Sundays may
be honest and mean we'll, thinking
by closing up all places of amuse-
ment that, people having nothing else
to do they will attend church, arc
going about it in the wrong manner
if they want to do good for the
church Take away from the people
! their little harmless amusement OF
Sunday and there would be such E
storm of protest, such feeling on the
part of those who do attend church
that one church will be about all tha
would be necessary to care for al
the worshippers of Hamilton for som,
time to come. To those back of tn,
crusade" the Press would issue thi'
warning-better to coax the peopl,
to church rather than to drive them
| Mayor Kelly is right in his refusa
to take any action for closing oul
moving picture shows on Sunday.

manner. When he is strongly organ
lied, he will be in position to con-
troll his own markets, cut out the ex-
orbitant profits of the middleman,
and bring producer mad consumer into
closer and more profitable relations.
In the meantime, there is no foun-
dation for theidea that the farmer
will be led by the newspaper talk to
believe himself prosperous when the
reverse is the case. Farmers can't
be 'kidded" as easily as that. The
farmer is thinking for himself and he
is fully competent to make up his
mind as to who he will support in the
presidential campaign.

ABSENT!
City Auditor R. B. Garrett just
recently mailed out his annual report
showing the receipts, expenditures
and outstanding indebtedness of Ham
ilton, for the year ending December
81, 1928. In addition to the indebt-
edness of the city, as shown by the
report, there is another outstanding
feature of the report, noticed by trade
unionists the conspicuousness of the
printers union label-that is, con-
spicuous by it's absence!

city have been waging successful
strike that should hearten every
trades unionist in the country.
With spirit worthy Of the best
traditions of American trade union
ism, the iron workers have been
driving ahead toward complete VIC
tory with spirit and determination
nothing can balk. Employers who
are fighting the union have done their
best to get strikebreakers, but with
little success. Enraged at their fail
ure to "break" the union, the employ
ers represented by Walter Drew and
the Iron League of New York, have
been talking loudly of injunction pro-
ceedings and threatening to turn a
whole flock of court writs loose on
the strikers. The threats have only
amused the iron workers, as they
know the employers are whistling
the Injunction Blues" to keep up
their courage.
The international Association of
Bridge, Structural and Ornamental
Iron Workers has conducted the
strike with great ability, and it
seems only question of short time
when even the "hard-boiled" employ
ers will grant the workers demand
for union recognition and wage in
crease. The union has almost doubled
it's membership in the last year, and
under the leadership of President
P. j. NORM it has forged steadily
ahead, despite the fact that it has. to
contend with its share of internal
trouble makers and would-be dis
rupters.
1t is matter for favorable COM
ment, also, that there have been nc
incidents of disorder in connection
with this strike. 1t has been a clear
case of the proper and orderly appli-
cation of economic pressure.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"REPuBLIcAN"

DERIVED from Republic,
- which, In turn. obtains its
meaning from the Latin res, q
thing, and publica, public, the
name Republican as applied to
political party in this country, J
came into being early in the Nine
teenth century. But it is inter
esting to note that the "Repub-
licans" of that time are the
Democrats of the present day, !
complete exchange in the tenets
of the two parties.
When the original Republican
party split up into the Demo
cratic-Republicans and the Ma
tional-Republicans in 1928, the
latter party gradually dropped
the prefix to their title, while
s the former dropped the suffix.
But the present Republican
party, as such, was not formally
Z organized until 1854-56, when,
s with opposition to slavery as the
Z principal plank in it's platform,
1t commenced to take its place
& as one of the two leading politi-
5 cal organizations. This new
& party was a fusion or coalition
s of the anti-slavery Wings, the
Il Free-Soilers, the Know-Noth-
4 ings, the Abolitionists and some
& Democrats who were opposed to
& slavery.
: The first Republican conven-
& tion was held in Philadelphia,
8 June II, 1856, where John G.
g Fremont was nominated for
s President, but Buchanan, the
8 Democratic nominee, was elect

Major Vivian Gilbert will speak be- fore the Esther Stanley chapter Daughters of the American Reyolu- ton next Friday afternoon in the
 First church chapel, on "fhe Ro-
 nance of the Last Crusade" Major Gilbert, erstwhile with the British
 army in Palestine, tells n series of
 amazing incidents Of that advance
 against the Turk which he calls the
 last Crusade.
 He tells Of cockncy pri'utcs strug-
 gling on the battlefield Of David anu Goliath. picking up in the brook of that with which David loaded his sling.
 He tells of young heroes dying on the ground where Christ appeared to his followers at Emmaus, and cry ing out to the Saviour as they die.
 He tells of cames who quietly nibble grass as bullets riddle their hides but who die o: fright if you even burst paper bag before their noses, of Egyptian soldiers who kill themselves by will power, of 100- mile roads of wire-nctting laid over, tho sand and supporting armies as the web of snowshoes supports men on the snow.
 Indeed, so many and so strange arc these untold stories which Major Gilbert tells so well that it Is diff cult to choose which to repeat.
