It is suit! that twonty-oMit aiitos and a miin bur of motorcycleB were "tier tip" around the rink at on time while llieir owners were viowintr the production inside How the pictures could fail to pass the Portland hoard of cen Borship is difficult to understand by those who viewed tho pic twos, since it is said that pic tti res muritinir the disapprovn of the censors much more than "Tho House of Pondage" appear fremiontly in that city. As matter of fact the pictures wcr quite "tame" and could produce objection only on the part those who ( isannrove of anv picture presenting any phase of white slavo life. The pictures reuliy wore of some educaliona value, even thouuh the case de pictcd was an extreme one. It brings out tho fact that the mis understanding of parents in re irard to rearing children ar liable to start them on the down ward path, especially when the child is inclined to be somewhat wayward and disobedient, aiu also made clear that the life o the undorworld is really far from attractive. It would be dilhcuit to conceive how any white slave subject could bu treated in a milder or more un omccttonuDic manner. 1 1 It is wrong to inform the unenlight ened of conditions in houses o bondage and how recruits to same are sometimes procured the pictures should he supprcs sed. Un the other hand, if en lighlenment lends to warn am place tho unsophiscaled on their guard against "picking up with total strangers who are oft times unscrupulous, tho pictures aro of great benefit. It is just a question of whether or not ig noranco is more benelicial to morality than enlightenment. Tho action of the rorthnd hoan of censorship was largely re sponsible for most of the seusa tionalism that accrued to show ing the pictures, from the re marks expressed by many o ihoso who were prusuni, it was a disappointment- it was so mild and devoid of sensation alism. According to action of the city council iuoHilay evening, tho mayor and city attorney wore authorixed and instructet to draft an ordinance providing tor tho creation ol a hoard of censorship in St. Johns for tho purpose of passing judgment upon moving pictures, vaudu villo stunts, bill board adorn ments, etc. The measure has its good points, even if incon- venient and expensive to the moving picture houses. Put since the pictures shown here have as a rule been passed by the national hoard ol censors and also the Portland hoard, it might be somewhat dillicult to decide by any body of people what would he object toimnlo and what would not. What apnea to one individual is condemned by another- what seems evil to one individual is not so to an other. "I3vil to him that evil thinkH" is very often the ease. Tho decisions of the two boards of censorship does not appear satisfactory to somo people. Would a hundred liotml come any closer to universal satisfac tion? Hut we believe it is not so much the moving pictures that tho petitioners are concern ed about. It is the vaudeville stunts that take placu here oc casionally, It is said, and the assertions do not seem to be dis puted, that at some of the vaudoville entertainments re marks aro mado that are cer tainly badly oil' color to say the least, and most any body of good citizens would undoubtedly quickly arrive at a decision prohibiting such "jokes." How ever, the ordinance to be pro duced by tho mayor and at torney will be awaited with some interest. 1 The Orogon Homing Pigeon Club held a meeting at St. Johns on Tuesday evening last.
