Moving picture shows of asen- national nature are not making for public good. Only recently an exhibitor of questionable moving pictures was brought into the courts and fined. Some who are not in sympathy with moral reâ€" form, might attribute this action to the sentiments of the good peo- ple of “Toronto the Good.” But Toronto. and the Dominion of Canâ€" ada are not the only places wakinr u- to the necessity for a higher c ass at morale in the communltv The United States is often regs-~1- ed as a country i) which morals arr allowed to run loose, yet mum in Uncle Sam’s country, a ban is being placed on some of the mow ink picture scenes that would be high“ relished by a morbid class in the community. Many of the Itates and cities in the Union deny ih: right to exhibit the recent Jefv Ines-Johnson fight, and indeed. ‘he actual fight itself is only al« flawed in some stat as of the Union. EVen in Pittsburg, moving pictures denictmg train robberies, safe. machine. and other crimes, are icxiidtien to be put on exhibition under penalty of a revocation of the license of the managers. Mr. John D. Morin, Director of Public Safety, attributes a street-car htld-up to the influences, and in one case the bandits admitted they were so influenced. To some of the older people who could witness and enjoy such scenes without be- ing influenced for evil. it may seem strange, yet yomger pm;- ple are very impressionable, and the impressions for evil are too readily Set in action.

Biker I'II Gama dd ' Mr. Editor. Please allow me space in your paper to correct a statement ap- :pearing in last Chronicle, where 'it is stated that Mr. Calder con- ;ceived the idea lateiy to have the tproperty now in dispute converted !into a town park. ' Some six years ago, Ben Nevis ICamp, 6.0.8, held successful demy- onstrations on July lst. for some four years, and had accumulated nearly $1000, which they still hold, and is deposited in the A motion was passed 'to buy this Draperty and make a present of it to the town for a park. A committee was appointed to wait _‘ "' Aâ€" -.. Ll... CUIIIIIIII-BLL IV I." “I'l‘V-" cn Messrs. MeKechnie, but as the price asked was over $2000, this being out of reach for them, hence the matter was let drop for the time. So, you see, it has been discussed before Mr. Calder con- ceived the idea lately. In the different letters appear- ing in the Review and Chronicle, the olvject seems to be “have a hit at Calder." _N_'0'-.V,_‘l!I.r. Ed] I p a- w Lu. , 1 have known M's. Caider for a long time, and the first time I saw him was as an insurance agent {0" the London Mutual Fire Ins- surance (30., over thirty years ago, going on foot. He must have made a success of it, for he die- velogied into larger business, and is now the owner of a fine block of buildings on main street, Dur- ham, which are a credit to him for his push and energy in making his business a success. He did not inherit this money, but made it all himself, and added to the ap- pearance of the town. If Dunham had a few more such men as he and Mr. Norman McIntyre, who Were not afraid to invest their money to build up buildings such they have. erected instead of erect- ing a piggery on one of the nicest streets in the town, much to the detriment of property owners on this street. Mr. Cochrane refers to Smith, Paterson 8: Co, and as -I am a property owner on this street and cne of the Company I don‘t think it presumption on my part to voice my sentiments on this mat- ter. Mr. Cochrane limits the time to “an rhour once a week for weigh- in g hogs” If this is the extent of your ship-' "'03 ping of hogs, it doesn't justify:that the change of market place.

Two years ago when the? ,question of the Armory site was ibefore the people, and when it was :Dtinted out that the Edge estate Iwould sell the lot in front of the :Maycr’s residence for a new mar- Tket site, at a much mow: reduced gpz'ice than they had been asking for it. if the town Would se ect the ; Armo '3’ site on the property where ,the market is at present situated, .and when it amn'ared that steps iwere about to be taken in this dir- ection, what was Mr. Laidlaw’s mention? This was surely just as ;reasonable 3 site as the present lproposed one, and no less 50. Did éMr. Laidlaw complacently agree lwith the proposition? The mem- ibers of the council at that time iknow vhow active 'he then u" s; he .button-holed every member of ivh-t~ :coancil and urged and begged that {the :market scales he not placed in ‘front of his own place.

Durham, August 29th, 1910. To whom it may concern. This question has the appearance of a pool of waterâ€"you pitch a stone into it, ’and the ever-increasâ€" ing circles of waveiets Width and extend :until the whole body of water is agitated,â€"or, a more apt and pertinent simile in this case, “The more you stir a mud-puddle, the more filthy it becomes through and through.” A scheme may look fair and reasonable at first sight. it may appear like a mud-puddle, clean Water on the surface, but probe it and what is the result? The cov- ered-up selfishness and unfairness oozes to the top. Such. is the condition of this so-called Market Scales Site forsooth! We say selfish because it was designed by a certain member of the Council, and fostered and fathered by the Mayor for the purpose of having it near their places of business. They drew some other members of the Council into their net, some innocently not perceiving the mot-v ive, others not quite so i.n.+ocent, The problem of securing a market site that would satisfactor- ily meret the demands of the farm- ers and buyers and that would be IVC, U-ll\rlu 11v but catching the same séii‘ish in; tection fell into line, and so the scheme is launched. , ‘lugvâ€" â€"_ THE DURHAM CHRONICLE E 3 one was A60 THE ' EGYPTIANS cum ! DISEASE WITH mun timated that if the By-law is de- feated the council will strike a special rate and so to speak choke the whole amount down the throats of the ratepayers in one year. What a bluff, and what a high-handed piece of knavery! Herein lies the unfairness. --V-v‘vâ€" _ Any councillor should know that: the ratepayers are the masters in‘ matters of this sort, and if they think the expenditure is not need- ed at the present time, all they have to do is to vote against the By-law, and any expense incurred on the scheme previous to the vote falls on the shoulders of those members of the council who voted to let the contract before the matter had been regularly and legally submitted to the people for approval or otherwise. This is not a matter for conjecture, nor a statement made without basis of fact, nor is it made for the purpose of influencing votes a- gainst the By-law. It is the law explicitly laid down in the statutes If it were not so, what protection would the ratepayers have against the intrigues of any Muni- cipal Council entering into an"; other scheme, no matter how in- famous? Otherwise the council of any municipality 'could compel such expenses to be paid by spec- ial rates. Special Legislation and Special Rates seem to be the May- or‘s chief stock-in-trade. Has this nroiect one redeeming 10-day, Canadians Are flolng It With “Fruit-a-tives” We are apt to consider the age we live in as the most wonderful age that the world has ever known. It is, in many resgects. Yet we ancients surpassed 75.; __:“A--fl A: A"' lwywww. . UV '"v us in some things. Engineers of our 4o-story sky-scrapers still marvel at the massive pyramids and the sphinx. So, too, the Egyptian physicians of 3,000 years ago, used fruit juices as a medicine for treating blood trouble, liver and kidney disease, and stomach weakness. Their method of mixing fruit juice as a medicine, is also one of the lost arts. A well known Canadian physician, however, perfected a method of utilizing fruit juices, which is one of the greatest discoveries of modern medical research. "Iiâ€"as this project one redeeming feature? Not one. 1. It does not .meet with the de- mand of the cattle-men and the farmers, both of whom want some place where there will be. only one unloading. “Fruit-a-tives” is the natural cure for Chronic Constipation, Biliousness, Indigestion, Torpid Liver, Kidney Disease, Pain in the Back, Bad Com- plexion, Rheumatism, Nervousness, Headache and Neuralgia. 50c. abox, 6for $2. 50 ortrial box, 25c. At all dealers, or from Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa. 2. It is not a needful thing when the town has already both the building and scales that havn g‘iven fair satisfaction in the past and just as good satisfaction as will the new building and scales. 3. It destroys a most central and desirable residential situation, and We have not too many of such in the town of Durham. 4. It removes forever the ideal spot for a Town Park and places there instead, malodorous, unsan- itary and unsightly congested ~pens. 5. It would prove unsafe be- cause of its proximity to the rail- road. Horses will not stand there quietly while the unloading and re-loading is being performed with 21" shrieking rail‘x'vay train fre- quently passing, as will be the case just at the time when ship- ments are being ' made. Should the ratepayers then sub- mit to this municipal pea-nut chi- canery? Is is not opportune that you rise in your might and by a preponderatin-g vote submerge this unfair, uncalled for and in- iquitous By-law? A reliable regulator; never fails.
