Publicity Bill
Urged By Taft
---—
j Washington, June 20.— Encour-
aged by the success that has attend-
led his legislative progress up to,
! this time, President Taft decided I
I today to make an issue of the pass-;
age by congress before the adjourn-
meat of the present session of the
I bill providing for the publicity of
campaign contributions in all cam-
| paigns affecting federal oHic-es.
j The president sent for party lead-
j I ers in both house and senate, and
told them his views regarding this
piece of legislation. Mr. Taft said
he bad made a personal pledge dur¬
ing the last presidential campaign
to do what he could toward f
ering the enactment of a publicity j
bill. The president had hesitated
in its platform. Now that the
program however, while congress
was devoting itself to those rneas-
ures to which the party had deli-
nitely committed itself in its plat¬
form. Now that the program is
practically completed, he has de- 1
cided to bring all of his influence
to bear in behalf of the publicity
bill. Mr. Taft .took Senator Bui-
rows, of Michigan, for a long au¬
tomobile ride yesterday afternoon,
and today the president secured '
tihe consent of Senator Brandegee
tolay the Appalachianforest reserve
bill aside temporarily in order that
the publicity bill might-in* given
the right of way. The president
does not anticipate any serious
trouble in getting the bill through
the house.
TAFT IX OOOD SPIRITS
The opening of what is expected
to be the last week of the congres-
sional session found the president
in rare good spiyts today. The
home-coming of Colonel Roosevelt; person-1
and the cordial exchange of
al messages between h-m and PresA
ident Taft lent an added interest
white House events today. Mr. Taft
feels he hasaecomplislu-d all ne
set nit, to do at the pre-tint
aessiori of c o n g r e s .s. and
that the publiei ty bill is to,
' )e a dded the achievementsseemed
especially to please him. Despite;
die present criticism heaped upon
Mr. Taft, according to
c,ose friends, believes he has given j
his party a good record, and when
il comes to the campaign this fall I
the president in whatever he has to
say will not attempt to pass the
new tariff law by, but will defend
it a^gain. I
Senators and representatives at j
the white house were inclined to
the view that congress may adjourn
some time between Ihursday and
Saturday of this week.
Motion Pictures
In Schools
Whoever it was that iirst put
pictures in school books was a phil¬
anthropist, a philospher and one of
the greatest educators of all time,
lt is indeed tbe use of pictures and
tangible objects that marks
main difference between the vital
teaching of today and the dead ped-
agogy of our great-grandfather-.
A similar and equal advance
seems here at hand. There is talk
of introducing motion pictures into
the school rooms of the United
states. John Collier, of the na-
tional board of censorship of motion
pictures, made a definite recom¬
mendation the other day that they
be' installed in the public schools of
New York city. He estimated tu 0.
cost vvou j d () n| v about half a
m j||i on dollars and that the bene-
fits would be beyond all calculation.
There is lade doubt that sooner
or later this suggestion will be a
dopted. From a means of amuse-
ruent the motion picture has come
to be one of the greatest popular
agencies of education. There is
scarcely a subject in literature, sci-
once or travel that has not been re-
wakened t< ) i He and lor and an:
versa I :riu •; :-st through these flying
iiims. Wnata fre-ii gio v class ro in
geography would take on if pr<-
sente i Lo pupils tnrouyh a motion
picture! What a wonderful and
impression the story of the
Pilgrim’s landing or the early
struggles of the colonists in (ieor-
would make, if told to boys on
a breathing flashing canvas.
Only a month or so ago some en-
terprising botanist set his camera
to catch the slow, minute stages of
a rose’s growth. He will take all
these separate pictures, combine
them into a continuous film and
then we shall see precisely how
flower climbs up from the earth,
unfolds in the sun, puts forth its
leaves and buds and blossoms. We
shall know more than ever of life.
Thus almost every phase of biolo¬
gy, astronomy, history and litera¬
ture could be taught.—

What Constitutes
A Subscriber?
A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts on
what constitutes a subscriber.
The judge firmly believed that the
man who received the paper, al¬
though he never subscribe! for it,
is entitled to pay.
James Thompson moved, and
0 i 1,1 iarrj Robinson took immediate
possession and received and accept¬
ed a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the
mails every week. The good na-
editor sent accounts fre¬
quently, but no attention was
paid to them by Mr. Robinson.
Finally there was a day of
reckoning, Robinson had received
the paper some time, he informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to
pay for it. The judge personally
questioned the defendant, who
said that he had read and made
use of it and was receiving the ac¬
counts, which were frequently in¬
closed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor
of the newspaper. The judge
was severe in his criticism of peo¬
ple who are receiving papers and
do not think it worth while to pay
for what they receive and make
us< of. It- is an act of dishonesty,
i, t . -aid. One should acquaint the
publisher and pay for whatever
numbers he receives.--Wyandot
