The measure is sponsored by earnest and intelligent woman’s or- ganizations, and its purpose is be- yond question a good one. The ques- tion is whether the bill may not be so severe in its provisions as to mean, it passed and enforced, the practical prohibition of moving pictures thea- ters in this state. There are some characteristics of the business of exhibiting photoplays that put it in a class by itself, The most important one is that its patron- age I8 largely made up of children, and the effect on the child-mind must be carefully considered. Nevertheless, some things are to be remembered. The first is that ninety- eight per cent of the films made or distributed in this country are first passed on by the national board of censors. This board is not made up of representatives of the producers, as some suppose, but of a hundred men and women chosen by the Peo- ple’s Institute of New York and rep- resentative of the best thought of the country. The greatest problem now is the “criminal” film, and experience has shown that no hard and fast rules can be adopted in solving it. Bach film must be judged by itself. If crime is cut out entirely, only namby- pamby drama is left. Here are some of the principles applied by the na- tional censors: The story must be moral in its point of view—it must not glorify crime or emphasize the rewards of crime. It must not portray the methods used so closely as to be a “school of erime.” The horrible details must be omit- ted, or merely suggested—just as in ordinary drama the homicide usually takes place off stage. All poigoning scenes are eliminated, because of the ease and insidiousness of this crime. The crime of arson may not be de- plcted. Drunkenness in women and chil- dren is under the ban. Films tending to hurt religious feelings are barred. No film may treat of a case in pro- cess of court trial. These examples suffice to show that the national censors are doing their They are making steady Can a state board of cen- work well, progress. sors, such as the present bill aims to set up, help in this work, or would it only hinder? The practical objections. made to the bill by the managers of moving picture theaters snould be carefully considered. Regulation within reas- onable limits may be needed, but sup- pression would be a great mistake. These iheaters supply cheap recrea- tion for the masses. With the recent invention of a method of reproducing sounds as well as pictures and syn- chronizing the two, we are apparent- ly at the place of still greater and more wonderful development. It is important to direct the development in the right direction, not to suppress it or even unnecessarily repress it.— The Minneapolis Journal. Discretion and Valor. They were discussing at the club the difference between discretion and ralor, and it was exemplified by one who said it would be valor to have eaten - &.:Christmas dinner at a fash- lonable restaurant; and departed with. out tipping the waiter. And discretion? “Well,” he proceeded, “to go to a different restaurant for New Year's dinner would be . discretion.” Chamberlain’s Tablets for Constipa- tion, For - constipation, Tablets are excellent.

INSTINCT, SERVED DOG WELL Study and Research Evidently Are Not Necegsary Among the Lower Animals. “Shep,” a dog belonging to a board- Ing house in Tacoma, Wash, was awakened by the explosion of a lamp, and, although- he should have : run away with his tail between his legs, he went upstairs, barked from one door to another, aroused the sleep- ing inmates, who succeeded in saving themselves, and then himself perish- ed miserably and incontinently in the flames. What a singular way for a dog to act, says Life, especially as he ap- parently, 8o far as we can learn from his past, had no actual knowledge of the real value of human life. He conducted no laboratory experiments upon human beings, nor upon- any of his own species, in order to perpetu- ate the race of dogs or men. He had given no lectures nor had taken fees for work: done in connection with the saving of human life. He occupled no important scientific post of honor. He had engaged in no re- search labor, and, in fact, he had no knowledge whatever of the sclentific necessity of sacrificing some lives to save others, And yet, in spite of this, he seem- ed to have the true scientific splrit, and, although but a dog, he was willing to sacrifice himself for oth- ers. This shows the great power of fnstinct. Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured: There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder of the stom- ach. Is it not surprising that many suffer for years with such an ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for-a trifle? “About one year ago,” says P. H. Beck, of Wakelee, Mich., “I bought a package of Chamberlain’s Tablets, and since using them I'have felt perfectly well. I had previously used any number of different medi- cines, but none of them were of any lasting benefit.” For sale by Bark- er's Drug Store, Bemidji, Minn.— Adv. Little Mothers and Fathers; A book has litely been published which attempts to prove that ichild labor under certain conditions s not disadvantageous to the child. In- stances are given which are rather convincing. These cases do not prove that children ought towork in fac- tories. And yet the author is'wise, very wise in this: that he recognizes the value of responsibility to: the child. I have been deeply touched within the last week or two by some little fathers and methers of my ac- quaintance. They are the children of & janitor in an apartment louse. The care they give one another is no less than beautiful. If these children don’t grow up to be better men and women than do the inexperienced children of the rich, my judgment is decidedly at fault.—New York Press. The Mothers’ Favorite. A cough medicine for children should be harmless. It should be pleasant to take. It should be effect- ual. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is all of this and is the mothers’ favorite everywhere.

WOMAN’S “NO” ALL POWERFUL Rothschild Group of Bankers Listened to Advice of Mother, and There Was No War, A ‘manuscript- dealing with Gudula Rothschild, the mother of ‘the great banking family, and wife of Maier Amschel Rothschild, the founder of the financial dynasty, has: just been unearthed in a family that at her fime lived in the Ghetto, at Frankfort, Ger many. - One of the most interesting entries Is this: “Learning that another war was in the air I went to Mother Gudula, say- ing that I didn’t have the money to buy off my son; that he ‘would prob- ably be taken for the military and might be killed. Mother Gudula sald she.would see about that and told me to come-back the next day, for in the evening her sons would arrive from London, Naples, Paris and Vienna to talk business with her, for all these great bankers went to seek the ad- vice of Mother Gudula in business matters of international magnitude. “When I went to see Mother Gu- dula ‘again, she was all smiles. “‘Be of good cheer,’ she said, ‘there will be no war. I advised my sons against-it. The boys won't give the kings any money.” “And there was no war.” Shows Direction of Sound. A machine has been recently grant. ed a patent by the United States pat- ent office covering a method of deter- mining the direction of a sound wave or of locating a source of sound, and in doing this the waves emanating trom such source are divided and the divided parts are compared by bring- Ing first one part and then.another through a common conductor. He employs an apparatus including two diametrically opposite receivers, -the direction of the source of the sound waves being determined by stopping one of the sald receivers, thus indicat- ing into which of the receivers the particular sound wave was received THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER When a Judge Pleaded. French law courts often develop phases of humor that can have nd counterpart in American or English || procedure. Monsieur Hugot s presi- dent of the Ninth chamber, one of the courts of Paris. The other day, Mai- tre C. appeared at the bar, and Wit many gesturas, pointing to his throut, made -the court understand that he had lost his voice. “Yes, maitre,” sald the judge, sympathetically, “the court notes that you have a severe cold, that: it-1s impossible for you to plead. But your client shall not on.that ac- count be deprived of defense. If you had been able to plead you would not have failed to show that she had| & good reputation .and that she stole from her employer to néurish her four thildren. In short, that. the accused committed a fault accidentally, and that she will engage never again to appear before the tribunal. There, Maitre C., is your pleading, is it not? Very well; now the judgment of this|’ tribunal is one month in prison.” Good Way to Retain Youth. “She goes around with a fixed look In onehand and 2 pericil in the other,” said an Old World visitor laughingly, In describing a clever little business woman of thitty or so. The European was also a writer, and she had to work as hard as did the “fixed look” little person.. The lady from overseas was also thirty—and looked twenty- four—the American was thirty and looked thirty-five. To be sure, this is an exceptional case, ‘and most Ameri- can women need be told little on re- taining ‘their youthful figures and laces.

A new-method of administering jus- tice was applied recently at Villa Franca de Xira in Portugal. A prisonér was charged with coun- terfeiting, and as the jury was evenly divided, and could not agree they de- termined to draw lots. Two pieces of paper were procured, one was in- scribed “guilty” and the other “in- nocent.” They were then folded up, shuffied, and one was then chosen by & juryman. It happened to be the one inscribed “guilty,” whereupon the prisoner was sentenced to the maximum penalty. $100 Reward, $100.

Solemn Visage Adds Years. “If a woman is as old as she looks,” then, for goodness’ sake, don’t look old! This doesn’t mean to straight- way adopt giddy and youthful attire if you are on the shady side of forty, nor does it mean to try and look as simpering and kittenish and coy as your little sixteen-year-old cousin. But did you ever stop to realize that by looking too serious—by looking too much as if you had all the weight of the world on your shoulder and fts woes in your cranium and on your soul you added ten years to your countenance?

Angrily the woman walked across the floor while the shoemaker listened to her unmusical tread. “Your hear that?” she sald. “Creak, creak all the time. These shoes will drive me crazy.
