and that there they had found all
the adventure their hearts could de-
sire.
Along comes young man from
Philadelphia who was hailed into
court for terrorizing young women
by night, and, when the sociologists,
with notebooks in hand, pressed him
for an explanation, he said Steven
sons "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
made him do it.
To be consistent the sociologists
ought now to drag Stevenson from
the library shelves. It is to be hoped
they do no such thing, any more
than that they succeed in closing all
the motion picture shows that are
not staged in drawing rooms.
Most of all it is greatly to be
hoped that gentlemen who start out
to study the ways and motives of
wrongdoers will do so intelligently,
and not be so entirely gullible about
believing everything that is told
them.

THE FUTURE OF CANADA

The probable results of the war to
Canada, in other than a military
sense, is, the theme upon which Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy has written
most thoughtful article for the
Montreal Star. Sir Thomas says
that the two most important results
will be the effect of the great immi
grafton which he expects will follow
the war and the transference Of the
market for Canadian securities from
Europe to the United States.
He sounds warning note against
unjustified promotions and says that
# Canada is to succeed in establish
.ng such credit as she needs among
bankers iI the States her securities
must be above the taint of political
ertanglements and too free govern
ment guarantees. He points out that
where Englishmen have invested
money in Canada on a sentimental
basis that no such attitude may be
expected across the boundary line,
that the capitalist in the States looks
before ha buys and frequently after
he has looked he does not buy.
In the attitude of the Canadian
government toward the immigrant
he believes there must be a radical
change as a result of which the Eu-
ropean newcomer will find himself
the ward of government deter
mined to make him from the first a
useful member of society and a pro-
ducing factor in the country's econ
omy.
Sir Thomas attitude in both of
these matters has been borne out by
the long record which he has made in
the biggest interests in Canada. His
advice to Canadians is founded upon
long and markedly successful ex.
periences and may we'll be carefully
needed,

INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS

If you glance at the papers on the
newstands you will find that some
of them are being printed on paper
with a strong and very ugly yellow
tint instead of the blue-white which
gives paper such the The Times is
printed on it's spick and span ap-
pearance. The yellow is the natural
color of the paper. This sickly tint
is removed by aniline dye, of which
there has been a shortage, in this
country.
Aniline dye is a coal tar product
which, besides paper, is used in the
coloring of cottons, linens, silks,
woolens, paints, varnishes, inks,
feathers, leather goods, buttons,
shoeblacking, glue, soap, celluloid
and many kinds of oils.
Before the war Germany controll-
ed the market of the world in the
coal tar chemical industry. With
ravaging competition Germany ruin
ed the dye industry in this country.
In the last thirty-siX years only nine
dye factories were established here,
five of which were put cut of bust
ness by German competition. Nine
tenths of the dyes required in the
world were bought of the German
monopoly. Each year the United
States sent out $15,O0o,000 in pay
ment for German dyestuffs.
War came and shut off the i'm
/ portation of dyes to this country
The supply here soon became prac-
tically exhausted. Many industries
were crippled.
Our shortage of aniline dyes will
not long continue. The war has
given American manufacturers the
opportunity of getting their necks
from under the Teutonic boot heels
The few dye factories doing business
here at the start of the war have
been enlarged and several new ones
established. Recently one was or
ganized with capital of SIS ,000,0 900
Our manufacturers will he able sooI
to satisfy the home demand.

STEVENSON AND THE "MOVIES"

For a time it was the vogue
among young men and women, when
they went wrong, to blame it all on
the "movies." The motion pictures
furnished a ready and convenient ex-
planation, and, since sociologists de-
mand first hand information, and
expect the juvenile offender to be
his own psychologist, why, that ex-
planation was as easy as another.
After they had had enough such
answers from shrewd young offend
ers, who began to see that their per-
sonal offenses somehow were con-
doned by this supposed supersensi-
tiveness to the slightest suggestion
of crime, the social workers all came
forth with a long list of "cases," to
prove, to him who ran, that motion
pictures were an incitation to much
crime.
Moreover, these sociologists, il
their sympathetic study of this phe'
nomena, pointed to the fact that
boys of yesteryear were raised OF

pAGEANTRY AND ThEATRICALS

The presentation of the Susan B.
Anthony pageant at Convention Hall
tonight has a significance aside from
its relation to the suffrage cause.
The influence of the increasing in
terest in pageantry, much of which
has been fostered by Miss Hazel
MacKaye, who is the author of the
pageant to be given here, and by her
brother, Percy MacKaye, poet and
dramatist, has been noticeable in re-
cent stage productions. At least
three musical shows seen in Wash
ington during the present season
were strongly suggestive Of the ap-
peal made to the eye, and the SYM
bolism which is the essential feature
of the art of pageantry, an art which
lay dormant during a period when
syncopation and eroticism were the
marked features of musical comedy.
Pageantry, in all its essentials, is
older than the Greeks, though it
reached high degree of perfection
with them, and it furnishes a most
admirable channel to give pictorial
presentation to any, propaganda. The
suffragists, in making use Of it, have
attained marked advance over the
days when they felt they had to be
bizarre and sensational to attract at.

LIQUOR AND REVENUE

Charge it to what you will, the
fact remains that there was a
notable. decrease during the past
year in the consumption in this
country of liquors and tobacco, with
a corresponding decrease in the in
ternal revenue receipts. So marked
was the decline that the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue finds it
necessary to attempt to explain the
drop, and furthermore to warn Con-
gress that, in making up it's budgets,
there is little likelihood of future
increase under present laws in the
receipts from liquor and tobacco
taxes.
To the growth Of the prohibition
sentiment and the passage of pro-
hibitory laws the commissioner as
cribes the decline in receipts from
liquor taxes. There is, of course, the
usual disclaimer from the "wets,"
who contend that the wave Of econ
omy which swept over the country
after the outbreak of the war caused
a decrease in drinking. To back up
this position the "wets" point to the
decrease in the consumption of to-
bacco, which they ascribe wholly to
the economy spirit and which, they
say, is paralleled by the decline in
the consumption of liquors.
Whatever ones personal opinion
may be, however, the fact is that the
report Of the Commissioner Of In.
ternal Revenue opens vista OF
trouble for Congress. Up to the
present the tax on liquors and to.
bacco has been great source Of
revenue to the Government and ir
times Of stress, when increased
revenue was needed and needed
quickly, an extra tax on these items
yielded prompt returns. With this
source Of income failing, as the com
missioner predicts, Congress will bt

money it needs to run the country
Should national prohibition become
a fact, as the prohibitionists conf
IDENTIFY predict. the need then woult
be for some new form of revenue
sufficient to equal the $21S,000,00(
which was derived last year from
the liquor taxes.
Developing new revenue of sucl
great proportions is not the worl
of a day or week. 1t will taxi
long study and much gray matter
and it is a subject which the men il
