MOVING PICTURE CENSORSHIP


Y upholding the law creating the
= office of moving picture censor
in Pennsylvania the courts have
sustained the right of the State
to pass upon the quality of the pic
lures shown within the borders of the
Commonwealth and to eliminate all
that may be regarded as Objectionable
for one reason or another. Without
this power the government would be
unable to prevent the flood of sa-
laciousness that threatened some time
since to engulf the moving picture
world.
Makers of movies" have been
steadily improving their films, it is
true, but there are, nevertheless, MANY
who are willing to appeal to the SEN
sation-hunting portion of the public
and to garner the nickels of TODAY
regardless of the future. 1t is to guard
the public and legitimate producers
from such as these that the censor
ship became necessary.
1t is difficult to understand how
ever, just how two moving picture
inspectors are to be expected to pass
on every one of the films shown in
Pennsylvania. Judging from the
large number of new reels brought
into the State every twenty-four
hours. their task will be we'll nigh
physically impossible. Either some
of the films will have to be approved
without having been seen or addi-
tional help will have to be employed.
It will not do to injure the business

inspectors find time to pass on them

Railway Conditions Today.

In striking contrast with these condl-

The steam railroad urban grade crossings
have all been eliminated A wonderfully
attra ctive as well as practically service
able Union station. architecturally cias-
sic structure as striking as the best OF
the public buildings, one Of the largest
finest and most convenient stations in the
world, has been substituted for the as
creditab rattle-traps of the past FOR
the Long bridge dam two useful and non
obstructive, II not beautiful. structures
have been substituted, one a highway and
the other railroad bridge. The railroad
tracks have been cleared from the Mall
and the peoples park, no longer divided,
mutilated and disfgured. is developing
into a thing of beauty and through con-
nection as part of Potomac Park with
Rock Creek Park becomes an important
section in one of the worlds finest park
systems From control Of Congress by
the railroads we have advanced to con

Congress and the interstate commerce
commission.
The street railways have developed from
projecting wheel-wrenching Trails TO
grooved rails: from horses to underground
electric motive power of the Budapest
type with improvements, without pass
ing through the intermediate stage OF use
of the ugly and dangerous overhead troll
ley in the urban section; from division
into many weak and Impoverished lines
to consolidation into two great systems:
from go-as-you-please management OF
tramways by Congress with unlimited free
franchises for the asking to appreciation
by both public and railroad that these
franchises represent substantial grants oy
the public Of valuable privileges for when
consideration must be rendered to the
public, either directly or indirectly. IN

interests of these important semt-pubhc
functions to stringent, wholesome regula-
ton by the people. first through the ma
ttonal interstate commerce commission

powers.
The latest evidence that Congress,
though discoura gingly sluggish and hard
to move as Washington's local legisla-
ture may be relied upon to meet wisely
in the end the crises and emergencies of
the nations city is the recent enactment
in response to the popular demand of the
