WHAT'S

WHAT'S
YOUR HURRY?
Slack up, brother. what's your hurry
That so recklessly you scurry
With your elbows jabbing sideways
and your glance fixed straight
ahead?
Is a minutes time so precious
That you needs must be ungracious
And go tramping on your fellow like a
hungry quadruped?
Can't you spare a nod of greeting,
Pass the time Of day on meeting
Swap joke or laugh little when a
neighbor drifts along?
Is the dollar so enticing,
Is success" so all-sufficing,
That you can't devote a second to a
brother in the throng?
Lo you know your destination?
It's quiet little station
Where ambition never troubles and
the dollars jingle not,
Where there is no bootless striving,
Sordid scheming or contriving,
And the richest mans possession is a
little grassy plot
Why be oyerkeen for speeding
On trail so surely leading
To that lonely little village where we
all must come at last?
Slack up. brother, what's your hurry,
That so recklessly you scurry?
You may head slow procession ere
another year is past.

FEDERAL GEN.
SORSHlP OF MOVIES.

A bill now pending in congress pro,
vides for the federal censorship OF
moving pictures. The wisdom OF
creating such censorship is very
doubtful
The public should be protected, OF
proper films. But the best form OF
protection isn't necessarily the pass
ing of arbitrary judgment by an all
powerful board of government censors.
Moving pictures are not essentially
different from other pictures, and we
have no censors TO say beforehand
what specimens of pictorial art shall
be shown to the public. They are not
essentially different from other forms
Of drama. and we have no federal CEN
sorship of plays. The recent develop
ment of news movies" has put the
picture houses on a plane with news

portray works of fiction, and we have
no censorship of literature. They in
fluence public sentiment, and we have
no censorship of oratory.
The American people would not TOT,
crate a censorship applying to all
news, art, drama and literature and
public speech. And there is no need
