OBJECTS TO SPOKESMAN
FOR PROPOSED CAMPAIGN
Julian Pierce Says Knights of Co

Socialism.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is regrettable that the knights of
Columbus do not select for a spokes-
man in their educational campaign a
more reliable exponent of truth than
Peter W. Collins, who delivered a lee
ture assailing socialism at the National
racy like ours questions are tested by
the standard of public opinion. Public
lectures are one of the recognized
mediums for forming public opinion.
Public lecturers, therefore. as one of
the mediums through which the public
derives its information, have a great
responsibility and should live up to it.
Furthermore, organizations that stand
sponsors for those lecturers have an
equal responsibility.
In his discussion of socialism and So
cialists Mr.. Collins lecture was a It's
sue of untruth. Misrepresentation and
misinterpretaton from beginning to
end. One example will illustrate: He
asserted. and reiterated the assertion,
that socialism proposes to abolish So
ciety.' He buttressed this declaration
by giving alleged quotations from So
cialist writer's of standing. Even a
cursory examination of this statement
will demonstrate its inaccuracy So
cialism sees a social fact, social
and its solution. The social fact is
that great masses of the people arc
not securing a living sufficient for the
free development and exercise of the
physical and mental faculties.
The social problem is to establish in

dustrial relations Of a character that
will guarantee the possibility OF se.rr
ing such living for every one. Inc
problem Is occasioned by the fact that.
under the present system of production
and distribution known as the capita,-
list system. the major part OF the grea,
increase in the quantity of the good
things of life produced goes. not to
the wealth producers, but to the owners
of this vast machinery of production.
Parasites, living in luxury, on the one
hand. Workers, living in poverty. on
the other.
The solution, as the socialists see it
and as socialism proposes. is the recos-
milton of the social character of pro-
duction and distribution by the substi-
tuition of cooperative production for
use, through the social ownership and
democratic control of the means of pro-
duction. for the present capitalist pro-
duction for profit through the private
ownership and autocratic control OF the
means OF production.
This change in the method by which
the people supply themselves with the
necessaries. comforts. conVeniences
and luxuries of life, according to the
declaration of MI Collins and the
Knights of Columbus. will result in the

nation without delay. 1t is said that
Lincoln smiled. The ministerial spokes-
man for tho delegation inquired why

ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION

Associated Charities Wants Depart
ment of Labor to Report on
Cost of Living.

Inquiry by the Department OF Labor
into the cost of living of wage earners
in the District of Columbia. as pro-
posed in the joint resolution introduced
in Congress. was advocated by the
board of managers of the Associated
Charities at a meeting yesterday aft
ernoon. In taking this action the opin-
ion was expressed that the findings of
this inquiry would have a direct bear
ing on the work of the Associated
Charities in the preparation of ade-
auate budgets for the maintenance of
families dependent in whole or in pal
on the benevolence of the people of the
city.
Action also was taken urging the
abolition of street begging in WASH
ington. The resolutions indicate that
the policy in many other cities is to
forbid street begging, and that this has
had a tendency to bring more such
beggars to Washington. A recent in
vestigation by the Associated Charities
showed that several Of the addresses
recently given by street beggars to the
police department were false, and that
where the persons were found they be-
longed elsewhere, or some other pro-
vision could well be made for their
support

ship Making for "Bet-
ter Films"

While Senate and House are wrang-
ling over foreign affairs. politics, pom
cies, revenues and preparedness, NOV
ing picture fans are being well repre-
scented today by gathering OF the
talent on both sides of the Hughes
smith bill to regulate motion picture
films by a federal board of censors
Tonight, in the big room OF the
democratic caucus in the House office
building. the first of a series of hear
jngs will be held, and it is expected
that one of the most hotly contested
fights that Congress will stage this
session will be started there. The
feeling for and against the federal
censorship bill is very strong.
Opposed by Film Men.
Practically every film manufacturer
in the United States will be represent t
cd one way or another at some time
during the hearing. Recently the COM
mittee on education of the House re-
ceiyed a basketful of kilograms from
motion picture people protesting
against federal censorship. ana these
were followed by the receipt OF teie-
grams from individuals all over the
United States expressing themselves
in favor of censorship.
The bill proposes a commission OF hVe
men to pass on the fitness OF mouon PIC
ture films. and to exclude from copyrlght
and interstate shipment all those whlch
fail to come up TO the standard set py
the commission. 1t was reported from TIE
committee on education in the last ses-
sion, but did not pass the House, as II
never was called up for consideration.
The bill is backed principally by Canon
Chase of Brooklyn y. Y, and by Wilbur
$ Crafts of this city, head of the inter-
national reform bureau. AS has been
mentioned. it is opposed by practically
every manufacturer of films.
Claim Effective Censorship.
The arguments in favor of the passage
of the bill in effect are boiled down into
tie allegation that present day films are
likely to spoil the morals of the young.
On the other hand the film men de-
clare that the enormous volume of mo-
tion pictures produced in the United
States would utterly swamp federal
commission; that consequently DuSl-
ness in which over forty million dollars
has been invested would be seriously
hampered. ano furthermore that the
film producers have already combined
in the interests of cleaner motion
plays" 1t is expected that evidence of
an intercompany censorship will be
laid before the committee.

Board of Trade, which is an organiza-
ton composed of all the motion pic
ture manufa cturers in the country. J.

that q series of six hearings would be

OFFERS OBJECT LESSON IN
FLEET TARGET PRACTICE
Representative Gardner Furnishes
Percentages of Hits and Misses
Made During 1914 Trials.

A compilation of figures and records
from the coast defense target practice
Of 1914 was made public today by
Representative A. P. Gardner of Mass
achusetts. who also has gathered the
statistics relating to hits and misses of
the battleshfp fleet in the divisional
individual target practice of the spring
of 1914.
Summarized from details covering all
coast fortifications of the United States,
the Philippine Islands and Hawaii, the
coast defense figures for primary arm
ament guns of 10, IL and IA inches
show 753 shots and 277 hits, or 81 per
cent of hits to the total number of
shots.
Emblazoned on Large Sheets.
For ten ships in the spring practice
of the battleship fleet Mr. Gardner
gives $50 shots and As hits, or little
over per cent. this record being based
on private information obtained by him
and believed by him to be reliable.
Rather an unusual and interesting
method of bringing the records to the
attention of members OF Congress and
the people has been devised by Mr..
Gardner, who has had the figures in
detail emblazoned on large canvas
sheets and placed in conspicuous
place in the Capitol, where all who
run may read.
