NOT GIVEN FAIR SHAKE Chicago, July 15.—Legal censorship of motion pictures was roundly de- nounced by delegates to the Motion Picture ‘Exhibitors’ League of Amer- ica at their business session here to- day and resolutions declaring the league’s unalternable use to what they called gag law on pictures were adopted unanimously. The delegates took the position that the motion pic- ture should no more be consored than should newspapers, books, magazines or_works of art. . To do good, the censorship should be on the minds of the people who g0 to see the picture rather than the picture itself, declared F. J. Herring- ton of Pittsburgh, national president of the organization. What of Poet and Tolstoi?” “Who ever heard of the govern- ment censoring Shakespeare or T'ol- stoi? and, if from the sex standpoint, some of Shakespeare's plays are not vulgar; if ‘The Resurrection’ does not contain matter that would be highly objectionable to every legal motion picture censor, I cannot un- derstand the written word. Yet, they are not forbidden general circulation. Children in schools even are made to study them. “I'do not make a plea for the sex picture, That is not the idea of our resolution. We would be willing to have no-sex pictures, but we do want to be able to express on the screen just the same educational matter and drama that are expressed daily in the press and by leading authors of the world. Censorship of Art. “In New York’s famous art gallery, are works which, if we took motion pictures of, we would not be allowed to show in any theater, But who ever heard of a legal censorship for art?” A resolution was also adopted o] posing 'the proposed war tax on mo- The league created a branch orga zation to be maintained in New York which is to be known as the fede branch ‘of manufactur: producers and accessories makers of the motion picture league of America, incorpor- ated.

Many of the animals are contented and well cared for, and excite no emotion whatever in the heart of the passer-by, but, alas! some are very forlorn and wretched! To see these thin, sad-looking beasts struggling along makes one wish for a badge and a little authority to* les- sen their burdens. Some folk are nat- urally kind and considerate, and some seem possessed of the devil. I guess it lies with the kind ones to keep a watchful and disciplinin; eye on the cruel ones. If a grocer's boy whips his horse he should be made to stop. Housewives, to make it easier for the boys to drive moderately, should do their ordering early in the day and not send in a hurry call just before mealtime. A lot of galloping gro- cers’ horses might be immensely helped by this simple reform. Gro- cers' horses, as a rule, have enough to cat and good care, but in order not to lose Mrs. So-and-So's trade, who has forgotten her chops, poor Dobbin must run his legs n& If only one great lady forgot her chops it would- n't be so bad, but many, many of them rush tothe telephone at the last min- ute. Negligence always has to be paid for somewhere along the line. The peddler’s horse is another story and the primitive expressman’s; the little one-horse men with humble jobs to perform. Often these horses have seen prosperous days in a well- appointed stable. Like some faithful men who have passed the age limit and been discharged' they have fallen from their high estate and end their lives ‘wrestling with rather pitiful tasks—tasks to which they are not equal. My particular sympathy goes out to these horses. I'd like to see the faithful elderly driving and. car- riage horses cropping grass in some nice pasture. Surely they have earned rest and peace. There is such a farm outside of Boston, Clover Farm, they call it, don’t they? I know they have a Field day once a year, which is a very festive and interesting occasion. he old horses being used in the city should have their teeth looked after and filed once in a while.

The Humane Society and the Tired Horse lold horse’s teeth get rough and jag- ged. They can’t chew their food properly and so the food doesn’t di- | gest. That is the secret of many a I bony old horse. Also if their teeth {are bad they will not stay in the mid- dle of the road, but keep veering off to either the right or the left. The bit hurts. This special happening al- ways rouses the ire of a driver and | he begins to jerk and jerk and only makes matters worse. gets along better with.the hard stabs of life, but when the best of the physi- cal fiber is used up and gone the spirit loses its elasticity and the fight is all an uphill one. Many a tired old horse might better be put out of its misery with a chloroform cone than left to the cruelties that overtake these faithful friends. I understand that quite soon. the Humane society is to publish a small folder with maps of the easiest routes for heavy loads from one part of the, city to another and with the various drinking fountains marked and sta- tions at which comfortable shoes may be obtained. This folder should be of great service. The special officer of the society is doing splendid edu- cational work. He is at the publbic market every morning at 6 o'clock and is trying in matters of harnessing, shoeing “and driving to make the horses more comfortable. The Hu- ! mane Society Journal says that on these hot days a work horse’s shoul- ders (where the collar rubs) and his back (where the saddle rubs) should noon and in'the evening. There is no sense at all in these great red sores one sees.on work horses. “They. can be easily prevented with a little systematic care. b The Humane society now has over $2,000 in its treasury. Its business meetin‘gl are held the second Thurs- day of each month in the cryfit of Trinity cathedral at 3:30 o'clock. If ou would like to know more, of this interesting. and much-needed work come and hear the reports. Little children and dumb animals are ' its special care. Its object is to get away from abstract theories and formulate practical working plans for the elimi- nation of a large mass of unnecessary cruelty. Can’t you help a little? 3 K{ARY LEARNED. 1 Elks by Hundreds Visit inflgshingtcn (From & Staff Correspondent.)
