HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. Sidelight On Sunday Theatres. The holding up of two young Ny- more girls, the assault on a young man who attempted to protect them, and the later assault on an older one- armed man can be directly laid at the door of Sunday theatres in Be- midji. Had the theatres not been offering attractions—and it may be granted that the pictures shown were proper—it is hardly probable that the girls would have been tempted to come over on Sunday night. ‘While in thig case the girls were rescued before any harm was done, yet it might have been much worse had help not been at hand. It is an an example which throws an inter- esting sidelight on the Sunday clos- ing of theatres, and should be well considered. The case shows that of- ten the indirect influences are more harmful and frought with graver con- sequences than the direct. The girls’ parents should have known where they were on Sunday night, and knowing, either should have kept them from Bemidji or at least provided proper escort. But where the parents seem to be so de- ficient there is an excuse for the city to exercise its police power and do away with the thing that attracted the girls from their homes. The question of closing the mov- ing picture shows on Sunday involves many issues, one of the main ones being that it would deprive work- ingmen of a place of amusement on their one recreation night in the week., It would at least be inter- esting to see accurate figures which would show what proportion of Sun- day night audiences is composed of this class of people and what propor- tion is composed of others, like the girls in question who can go any week night. Third Party Assured. Many men in this part of the state who were for Theodore Roosevelt before the Chicago convention have stated that they are not in favor of a third party and will not support such an organization. Yet these men have tried to remain Roosevelt men and blind themselves to the fact that to follow him now means nothing else but to join a third party. The action of the convention in St. Paul Tuesday proves this beyond a doubt. Regular delegates were chosen to a regular convention which will be held in Chicago and at that time a regular national or- ganization will undoubtedly come into existence. Those who took part in the St. Paul convention and who are looking to the Chicago comven- tion to nominate Roosevelt for the presidency must realize now that they are in fact third party men. The fetish of party is Jargely ex- tinet so that it is doubtful if the new party wil lever have the allegiance which has marked both: the Demo- crat and Republican parties in the past. It was allegiance to party and to the machine which forced the nomination of Taft and having seen how it works out, people will be slow to again follow a party so slosely. Taft’s nomination would have been impossible had there been a few more states with primary laws.. These states will have them by 1916 so that another Chicago convention, such as the one held in June, will be improbable. The third party will live through the coming campaign, but whether it continues to exist or its members return to the old party to fight diease from within remains to be seen. At any-rate, those Republicans who believe that the Taft nomina- tion was an injustice to the rank and file of the party and who believe that the people should be given an op- portunity to vote for Roosevelt and either elect or defeat him are fast coming to a realization that a third party is the only vehicle which they can use. THIS IS MY 60th BIRTHDAY. Leslie Combs. Leslie Combs, who is tdking a leading part in the organization of the Progressive party in Kentucky, was born in Little Compton, R. I, July 31, 1852, the son of Gen. Leslie Combs, a distinguished soldier of the civil war. After completing his edu- cation at Transylvania University, Kentucky, he engaged on an extensive scale in stock raising and tobacco planting. He also acquired large ranch interests in Texas and Indian Territory. At an early age Mr. Combs became active in Republican politics in Kentucky and in 1898 he was appointed pension agent for the state. In 1902 he was appointed United States minister to Guatemala and Honduras and from 1906 to 1911 he served in a similar capacity in Peru. In March, 1911, he resigned from the diplomatic service to re- turn to Kentucky and devote his attention to his busines interests. Congratulations to: Joseph M.

A director of one of the great trans- continental railroads was showing his three-year-old daughter the pictures in & work on natural history. Pointing to a picture of a zebra, he asked the baby to tell him what it represented. Baby answered, “Colty.” Pointing to & picture of a tiger in the same way, she answered “Kitty.” Then a lon, and she answered “Doggy.” Elated with her seeming quick perception, he then turned to the picture of a chimpanzee and sald: “Baby, what 18 this?” “Papa.”"—Woman’s Journal.
