There is a well directed attempt on the part of some of the higher ups to create a rigid censorship of mov. ing picture films. The ends to which this set wiuld carry the censorship of the movies will but make them seem ludicrious. We have it straight that they want to abolish the kiss in the movies; pre- vent the exposure of arms; do away .wnere tne past year, tne isews is to with murder scenes; all scenes of printing elsewhere in this paper crime and portray nothing on the, tatenient made by Mr. R. G. Bul creen except Biblical subjects! jlird. has ta d" ertil'n v.riW w iht would be SOME censorship. j Now here's where the rub comes in: This additional censorship will cost ene dollar more per film. The ex hibitors will have to pay more for their films and the movie public will have to pay more admission. Besides this, all the pep and inspiration, which makes the genuine artist of the movie actor, will be taken away. We shall see our great movie actors, who have thrilled the wor!d with their ftunts, posing Biblical parts, while t r.other of our famous actresses sings Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem." This affair is scheduled to come up n the House in a short while. A whole night will be given to its dis cussion, and unless our senators are a lot of feather-legs, without any red blood, this insane ides will be 'jjjied, smashed in the head as 'twere. The people do not want censorship. They want pictures that have pep and a thrill to them. That has been proven right here, because Manager Lambert, of the Dixie, had to tafle off a certain kind of film because there wasn't enough pep in it and he couldn't get crowd. If Congress must deliberate on this subject, here's the sensible way to do it: Put the exhibitor and the pro ducer of the films under a guarantee to give nothing but moral plays and then if this rule is violated, prosecute them. That is the only sensible way to censor moving pictures, and the pub lic knows it, and we do not believe it will stand for such a censorship as is being proposed. WAYNE COULD AID. If we are to take the expressions, which have come to the press from the citizens of Wayne county because the press has seen fit to criticise the act of the lynchers, theii Wayne coun- We had hoped that the citizens of Wayne county would be only too will ing to aid out the law in making an investigation of this act which has a blot on the whole State. We had hoped that the Wayne folks would still have enough pride of ancestry left in them to help cles- up this lynching bee and to at leant take one j blot off the Stats of North r.rol inn ! but it seems that Wayne is not going j to do any such thing. If we are able to understand the to the fact that in former years some murderers in Wayne county have not That is the trouble with the citizens of Wayne county. They are trying to make one right out of two wrongs and they have found it impossible. if the law had not b-en carried out on former occasions in Wayne coun t y, why hadn't the citizens of Wayne protested to the powers that be ? Why had Wayne waited until a chance came its way, and then sneaking out grabbed a "nigger" from the jail and lynched him to get even with the "law." Those Wayne, county folks the law is, intended. and for what the law is IS GKKMASY WINNING? The subject of -n article in Col- lier's Week'y U the above. Undoubt- ' edly, Germany seems to be winning at that the same thing occurred during !ur own Civil War. The South won most of the great battles, and did the best fighting but lost. The South was starved out, and Germany, it seems, will lose' in th same way. TIMES ARE GOOD. With a howl of hard times every. collecting guano accounts. As will be seen from Mr. Bullard's statement, he made a clean sheet of all the accounts he held. That doesn't look like hard times. On the other hand, it is even better than it was in 1912 or 1913. Times are good if the people only knew it. t CURRENT OPINION' Logic (Greensboro News.) We don't know that senators are in cluded within the scope of the child labor bill, but the fact that no such measure is . on the statute books is liable to make Senator Overman work himself to death in a single-barreled filibuster. Tea. (Greensboro News.) The law of Solon may be very well invoked in the case of General Hu erta. It forbids men to speak evil of the dead, and under that restriction, a conscientious obituary must be con fined to few words. Hardly. (Durham Herald.) We did not think in the beginning that Carranza could establish a gov ernment that would suit the Ameri cans down there. Stop. News and Observer.) Now here goes the Greensboro Recorod calling the Quart-Every-Fif-teen Days an "incholate law." Have a heart, end quit calling it names! Maybe. (Greensboro News.) ' The sheriff of Wayne county lets it be known that as between the sort of law that he is supposed to represent, and mob law, he has no strong prefer ences. The sheriff of Wayne should resign but will he? A Presidential Audience. (Charlotte Observer.) The North Carolina delegation in Congress will be given an audience by the President Monday, at which the claims of Judge Allen for promotion to the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench will be formally presentod. The fact that President Wilson has de layed the appointment beyond a time ordinarily expected and the further fact that he has decided to hear what the friends of Judge Allen may have to say, invests the matter with an encouraging look. From the day it became known that the President's mind was open that he would in jspect the field and make the selection ion merits developed the friends of the North Carolina iurist have had in that way as much on an honor to the nation as to the State.

Mexico City, Jan. 17. Twenty thousand troops from the northern section are being massed here for a campaign to exterminate Villastas, Acting Minister of War Pesqueria an nounced today. WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE WAS PLAY FOR SOUTH Act in it Was Short of That Speedy " Spice so Well know a in Most of Musical Comedies. A fair-sized audience was present at the presentation of "When Preums Come True" last night at the I.aFay ette Theatre, and the most of them were pleased, too. - '' "When Dreams Come True" was a good deal different from most musical comedies. There was not so much of the spicy acting as is usually seen in the musical comedy, and, on the whole, it was a play for the South. The acting of each character was perfect and Mr. James H. Crowley, as Hercules Strong, the detective, creat ed many a laugh. Miss Cannie Mack, as Matilda with a "black on white," was clever. Per haps next to Matilda, Miss Edna Tem ple as Beth, and Mr. Wm. Pruett, Jr., as Kean Hedges, ranked the highest. HOUSE'S MISSION HE HAS HAD A CONFERENCE WITH LLYOD GEOKGE AND OTHERS THROUGH (By International News Service.) London, Jan. 17. Col. E. M. House has succeeded in maintaining the veil of mystery which has surrounded him since it was announced that be had come to Europe on a special mission for President Wilson. Officially, Col. House is not recognized here, But that he has talked with a number of the leading men of the country cannot be denied. Among these is David Lloyd George, with whom it is understood he had a very pleasant interview. II At the Movies II AT THE LVKIC "Life's Pitfall." Here's what the Moving Picture World says: "It tells the story of a man, rich in the love of a good woman and blessed with health and fortune, who allows himself to become entangled in a clandestine affair with his wife's maid. The girl is beautiful, passion ate and madly in love with her em ployer. She does not hesitate to at tempt the life of her employer's wife, and matters are brought to a tragic climax. This varient of "the eternal triangle" is admirably set forth in the three reels devoted to the photo play in question, Miriam Nesbitt playing the mistress, Harold Meltber the master, and Sally Orutn the maid. "Pincus at the Hat." Charlie Chap lin's imitation two reel roaring com edy. Don't miss it. W. 8. HART AND KHEA MITCHELL AT THE DIXIE TODAY "Tools of Providence."
