Moving pictures of the members and employes of the Convention were taken last week and will be shown in Missouri cities within the next few weeks. The camera man appeared and asked for the privilege and most of the members in attendance complied with the request. The big road meeting to favor or protest against the report of the engineers held the center of the stage in the assembly chamber three days this week, which interfered to some extent with general sessions of the Convention.

The committees, however, have kept busy all the time and are fast getting their reports into shape for presentation to the Convention. Motion pictures will not be recognized in the Constitution, so far as the committee on Bill of Rights is concerned. The committee by an unanimous vote refused to adopt Proposal No. 135, which would recognize moving pictures as in the same class with newspapers under freedom of speech and the press. The committee was convinced in its deliberations by the decision of the United States Supreme Court, which states that "The exhibition of moving pictures is a business pure and simple, originated and conducted for profit like other spectacles, not to be regarded as a part of the press of the country, or as organs of public opinion within the meaning of freedom of speech and publication guaranteed by the Constitution of Ohio." The case in question originated in Ohio, but a Missouri case was also considered in connection with it.

The court deeision was unanimous as was the decision of all the lower courts. The decision was written by Justice McKenna. JAMES NEIL James Neil died Saturday, July 22, 1922, in Mason City, Iowa, of cancer, at the the age of 58 years. The deceased was born in Canada, and came to the United States when 3 years old.

Neil, at Mason City, Iowa He is survived by his son, oue sister, Eveline McCaskie of Mason City, Iowa, and one brother, John A.
