WARM DEBATE ON CENSORSHIP BILL IS LEBBY WOMEN Public Morals Corrupted by Films, Charge at Senate Hearing, Charges that uncensored movies are corrupting public morals and undermining church and school were answered by statements that censored films were “un-American,” "a blow at free speech and thought," and a death sentence for the photoplay Industry at a public hearing on the movie censorship bill before the Senate committee on public morals in the Fenate Chamber Thursday night. Women took the leading part in the three-hour debate. Senator Oliver E. Dunn committee chairman, presided. Representatives of churches, reform associations, and women's clubs spoke for the bill. Moving picture distributors, Indiana Photoplay Indorsers, and a delegation of Southport women representing a Parent-Teacher organization, spoke against the measure. Regulation Urged “Movies should be regulated and licensed like any business.” said W. S Clemons of Chicago, representing the National Reform Association. Southport women said censored movies meant more expensive pictures, but no better. They said moving pictures In country schoolhouses could not be supported it a “big license fee had to be paid." Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, head of the Indiana Legislative Bureau and representing many women’s clubs, said film censorship would be adopted Just as prohibition and women suffrage. She said Will flays was employed to offset the movement toward censorship. "Another Commission” Moving picture men, in answering Mrs. Rumpler, said the move was aimed to destroy the film industry, would create “anothr commission," and predicted the public would refuse to return legislators who voted for the bill. Mrs. M. E. Robbins of Indianapolis pointed out the big expense of censorship and said the public would pay Increased admission charges. A. J. Rucker, attorney for the Indiana Indorsers, said the censorship move would put pictures In politics and would prohibit pictures of educational Interest because of “whims of censors.” In answering hecklers, the Rev. Harry L. Bowlby of New Tork said the "life-like impressions” of movies stamped them “more dangerous than newspapers and magazines." He denied he would censor the press.

The sufferer is In constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding It.
