JUDGE POLLOCK AGAIN.

ToHN c. POLLOCK, United States Judge. once more
ottends us.
We have not forgotten that It was Judge Pollock who
held that the Mann white slave law does not protect the
body and soul of girl long she is merely the vic
tim OF man. and is sold into commercalized vice.
Now we forced to notice an equally startling opin
ion.
Hearing dope sellers case in the federal court at
Wichita, Kas, Judge Pollock said
Because few Of the many have not the manhood
the strength Of character resist the banefu effects OF
narcotics, our people voluntarily put themselves in re-
gard to those matters In slavery to protect somebody
who is not worthy OF being protected from their use;
will sacrifice those who sefrespectng to protect or
bolster up worthless scoundrels who are Of no
earthly use to themselves their government"
Worthless scouudrels," Judge Pollock calls the poor
weak prey of the cocaine seller! Worthless scound
rels in the end. perhaps, but worth saving in the be-
ginning
"of earthly to themselves or the government,
adds the Judge.
All grant is that they surely will be Of no earthly
the antnarcotc is held unconstitutional And
there will be more-more drug lends. Some Of us who
read this will be victims and OF our children and
some of our grandchildren.
Under this law, which forbids the sale of habit form
ing drugs Judge Pollock says We put ourselves into
slavery" t
Queer, how continue to disagree with Judge Pol
lock- We believe that free mental defcients and
our rresponsbes from the hdeous form OF slavery
wheH>we keep cocaine away from them.
And we know a lot OF people who agree with US. And
most Of them will stand back Of when we add that
it sometimes II 1t better for the nation
to annu the Judge instead of the antinarcotic act

sCREE
arhe Two orphalnr,,.

The most massive and elaborate sets
that ever lent truth and color Ia a
photo-play are used In the William Fox
production OF D'Ennery's-"The Two
Orphans, which was directed BY Her.
bert Brenon, producer OF the Fox
screen plays, THE Clemenceau Case"
and "Kreutzer Sonata. The scene In
the streets Of Paris, showing the or.
rival OF the Normandy coach with the
two orphans Henriette tTheda Bara)
and Louise Jean Sothern) alone cost
$1,000 to build and took two weeks in
Its construction. being built up as
solidly on the big William Fox open
air stage In Jersey City as II Il was
destined 10 be permanent structure.
In erecting this wonderful scene the
technical director OF the William Fox
studios. William Bach, used the ser.
vices Of hundred carpenters, fifty
masons, twenty electricians and doz.
ems OF painters. Almost three miles
of canvas, forty carloads OF brick and
mortar, twenty-five barrels OF nails
and $500 worth OF lumber entered into
Its construction and the entire set
when completed is estimated TO have
weighed upwards OF 900 tons. Anoth.
er interesting fact in this connection
Is that the portion OF the city shown
was built TO scale from an aged work
on French architecture In the posses.
sion OF Mr.. Brenon who has the most
extensive collection OF such works in
New. York.
The scene showing the prison of
Salpetrlere, the most infamous place
of captivity that ever existed is equal.
