Censorship

Before the film could be exhibited in Kansas, the Kansas Board of Review required the elimination of several scenes and one intertitle. In reel 5, the intertitle removed said "We will stay here all night and there won't have to be a wedding." In reel 6, the scene removed depicted men blowing up an irrigation wall with a powder keg.[2]
