A LOT of people condemn
the Edison Phonograph
without hearing it. They
think they know what a
Phonograph ia .They may,
but they do not know what
the Edison Diamond Disc
Phonograph is, because if
they had heard it they
would long to possess one.
Ideas based upon crude
and imperfect talking ma
chines must not be applied
to the Edison. The Edison
Diamond Disc Phonograph
is the one that was invented
by Thomas Alva Edison, and
is made in the great labora
tory at Orange, where Mr.
Edison does his daily work.
If there were anything he
could do to make the Edison
Phonograph better he would
do it. The fact that he is
willing to let it go out with
his name upon it is proof
that he considers it good. If
it is good enough for Mr.
Edison, it ought to be good
enough for you.
Call today and HEAR IT.
REAL MUSIC AT LAST
Will be your verdict as it
has been of all who have
heard it

JUSTICE FOR THE MOVIES
Censured and Clean, they Point Mor
als to the Boys and Girls
Left alone in Portland by his
father, a youth of twelve left the
metropolis last week with a chum to
walk to his home in Canby. The two
lads got as far as Oregon City when
they were overhauled by the police,
and were held in jail to await the
arrival of their parents. When "taken
up the boys told a straightforward
story indicating that their only rea
son for starting out upon their 20
mile hike was loneliness and a de
sire to get to fields with which they
were more familiar.
In spite of this certain sensation
al newspapers burst into song and
blamed the "movies for the trip u
the youngsters. The boys were made
to say that they had seen so many
pictures of adventure that they wont
ed to "go out and hunt Indians." Per
haps this may be "good journalism,"
but it is not the truth, and it is a
eratuitous slam at the moving pic
ture shows which the latter do not
deserve. There is a tendency these
davs to blame everything on the
"movies," just as in former days all
outbreaks of boyish spirits were
blamed upon "penny dreadfuls" and
dime novels.
With a national board of censor
ship busy every day, in the year, and
with many local censors also working
overtime, there is little in the moving
pictures of today that is not just as
it should be. In fact the "silent
dramas" are far more "proper" and
inspiring than many of the perfor
mances given in the vaudeville houses
and upon the "legitimate" stage.
Some of the films may be melodra
matic, but if they are virtue is always
triumphant and rthe villain dies a
horrible death. And the children de
picted in the "movies" are always
little cherubs not at all the kind of
youngsters who would be an example
to the average youngsters of real life.
There should be no general con
demnation of the moving picture the
atres. Practically all of them are
conducted in a clean and orderly man
ner, and the films shown are whole
some and educational. There is noth
ing to be found in them that would
lead even the weakest mind estray,
and there is much that is well worth
seeing. In these days some of the
finest actors of the world are engaged
to act the plays that are flashed on
screens throughout the country, and
as educational matter of the finest
grade the many "weeklies" cannot
be excelled.
The moving pictures have come to
stay. They are improving every day,
both in technique and in the subject
matter which they cover. They have
already won a place before the public,
and they have reached their present
success solely because of the excel-
lence and cleanliness of their subject
matter. They are not evil in their
influence, and the biased critic who
condemns them either does it through
an inexcusable ignorance or because
of a malice.,
THRILLING TALE EXPOSED .
New England Newswriter and Enter,
prise Create Beautiful "Pipe"
Dids't read those heart-throbs in
the Enterprise last Saturday-
11 about John W. Thompson "a
prominent farmer of Clackamas
county," who went back to New En
gland and renewed an acquaintance
with his sisters whom he had not
seen for 58 years? They were great
heart-throbs, in big letters on the
front page. Here is the truth about
those heart throbs.
Last Friday the identical "special"
from Meredith, N. H., which the En
terprise printed Saturday, was offer
ed the Oregon Daily Journal,
of Portland. The first thing
members of the Journal staff did
was was to try and verify the exis
tence of "John W. Thompson." They
could find no trace of him in Oregon
City. Next they asked County Asses
sor Jack if such a name appeared on
the tax rolls. Mr. Jack looked, but
could find no "John W. Thompson"
anywhere'on his books. So the Jour
nal concluded that "John W." was a
myth and refused to buy the "spec
ial." Men on the Journal figured that
any "prominent farmer "who was
rich enough to go east looking for
a sister he hadn't seen for 58 years
should at least have paid taxes.. As
he didn't do that, they figured the
"special" was a FAKE.
Saturday the same "special" was
offered the Enterprise. The new night
editor put it up to his boss, and
without attempting to verify it E. E.
Brodie bought the "special." Later he
sent the same fake "special" to the
Oregonian.
That is the inside story of those
heart-throbs!
