was. He put his soul in it and carried out splendidly the idea that if 8 thins was worth doing it was worth doing well. It was not the showy role, but it was carried with a demeanor of dignity and care that was impressive. The minstrel show, however, is merely incidental. Judge Reiter has always been cheerfully ready to m:ike these sacrifices and esteemed them as a part of the public duty of citizenry.' Let us recall another episode. It was in the beginning of a presidential campaign. An organization meeting was to be held In a I it tie town. We happened to run across the'Judge on a nasty, cold night, patiently waiting on a poky milk train an hour late, all alone, for it to take him to his destination, from which near midnight after his meeting, he would have to make his cheerless and lonely trip home. Wo doubt, if outside of the handful who met with him at the meeting, there was another soul besides those in his family circle who knew what he had given up to make the trip. It was only one of a hundred like incidents that might be told of him. He has been a familiar figure at public gatherings in Lake county at all kinds of meetings these many years. He does not have to be. His position on the bench is secure, fcut. he has a civic duty a duty to his fellow man' and he does It as a labor of love and as modestly as the crocus comes.

MOVIE FAILINGS. ' ' A year or two ago everybody was wildly enthusiastic about the movies. Lately the enthusiasm lias subsided. From admiration the public has drifted into a spirit of dissatisfaction, criticism and even hostility. The directors themselves admit that something's wrong, though they don't seem to know exactly what. Perhaps the trouble is simply that the directors have been aiming too low in an artistic sense. Their pictures are excellent from a merelv Photographic standpoint, and are constantly improving. Their camera technique is wonderful. They pile up new scenic effects until the impossibleseems to have been attained. But as plays, dramas, stories anything more than a mere succession of photographs, thev have not realized the expectations of the intelligent public. As one critc puts it. "The motion picture men have learned to make pictures, but they have not learned how to tell s'ories.

PERSONAL SERVICE. Judge V. S. Reiter of Ilammon 1, is our idea of a public-spirited citizen a man who wiil give of himself to the public whenever and wherever it is possible. To give of money is just the question of the passing moment and Is nothing but a matter of what one is able or willing to give, but to give of self is service and sacrifice. This preachment is not elicited for a moral: the matter, small in itself, of Judge Reiter's service as a minstrel interlocutor calling forth these observations in passing. A Hammond fraternal organization ha. just packed a city theater two nights with an entertainment. The success of that entertainment, was notable. Judge Reiter helped prominently to make it so. Xow, the judge 5s domestic in his tastes, his mental duties and his moral responsibility to the ermine which honors him is by no means fictitious. He spends his evenings in study and rest and the giving of companionship to the family entitled to It and proud of it. There were long rehearsals and many of them, in all kinds of weather. They came in the midet of the solving of the momentous problem of a city's welfare which, in "The Hammond Plan," Judge Reiter has been a serious factor. Yet he made a sacrifice. He gave of Mmself cheerfully and willingly to make the show a success. To the role he played he gave dignify, and as he does all things he did it well. A dramatic critic would have said that the judge's interpretation was artistic. It certainly
