Vulgar Films.

An extraordinary development of the
motion picture enterprise is the evolu-
tion of a capacity on the part of large
proportion of the public to enjoy vul-
garity. Multitudes of refined persons
who before the advent Of the motion
picture as means of entertainment
would have been shocked beyond en-.
durance by such displays will sit and
roar in enjoyment Of supposedly funny
antics by famous film clowns without
any sign on the part Of the audience of
disapproval or distaste.
An instance is in point in a now cur
rent film which depicts one Of the most
famous of the screen comedians in q
series of incidents which are chiefly re.
lated to that most unpleasant Of all
human NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The very
thought would seem sufficient to dis.
gust the film seeing public, yet the
extraordinary fact is that this picture
eicits roars of laughter through it,
most disquieting suggestions Of immi-
nent catastrophe.
The best censorship Of the motion pic.
ture should be the public, and yet there
is little or NO open manifestation Of
disapproval for films. The average pic.

Independence Day.


Never before, since the first day of
the new liberty, has Independence day
been observed with SO much Significance
and in such solemnity as today. Amer
lea is at war for the perpetuation of the
principles which were proclaimed at
Philadelphia l4l years ago, at war
against most powerful foe, against
whom the allied powers of Europe have
been battling for nearly three years, and
whose capacity for offense and defense
has been the marvel of the world. This
country was ioath to enter the war. 1t
withheld its hand as long as possible,
enduring the most grievous affronts and
injuries and witnessing the most fla
grant violations of international law
and the basest atrocities committed
against helpless peoples. At last it was
forced to move, when in the face of q
pledge to abstain, Germany declared a
course of ruthless submarine destruc-
ton. 1t entered the field as champion
of human rights and Of the principles
of liberty, "to make the world sarer
for democracy"
Nowswe are at war, with our troops
in France, our ships securing the seas
for the enemy, our youth in training
for service, our government about to
select the men for a great national
army to 60 forth to fight. Our flag is
planted at the front and there it will
remain until victory has been won, a
victory that will make the world secure
against militarism and autocratic domi-
nation.
On this day the American people dedi-
cate themselves to this task. Theirs is
no small part in the great contest, even
though it had been raging for many
months before they entered it. Per-
haps it will, indeed. be the deciding
part. We are entering the war just in
time to succor at least one of the allies
from exhaustion. Our man power and
our sea power are thrown into the scale
at the very stage at which they will
produce the greatest effect.
This is silent Independence day.
There are no noisy demonstrations.
There is no token of jubilee. The peo-
pie are at the threshold of bitter ex-
perience. Before another national birth
day comes for observance there will be
Borrowing in many American homes
for men who have been slain. There
will be many wounded and i'll. We will
have paid a measure Of our price for
the privilege of eontesting for the pre-
cious right of liberty.
But the certainty Of these losses and
sorrows does not make the day less vel
come, the observance the less sincerely
patriotic. 1t only adds, indeed, to the
rejoicing in our American citizenship.

ayers. Very few people who are Of
Tended or distressed by obnoxious pic
lures, however, take the trouble to re-
cord their disapproval.
Picture show managers might profit
ably invite public criticism by means Of

public should have some convenient
means of registering praise or criticism.
Assuredly if it were possible to take a
vote upon such pictures as that outlined

ferers would indicate their disgust for
this and similar exhibitions of vulgarity.

Congress.

This appeared in a communication to
New York newspaper:
"To the ordinary business man and
| citizen Congress is becoming more and
more to be regarded, not as the coun-
try's protector and just legislator, but
as a thing to be feared, distrusted and
despised."
No, no. The author is wrong Just
now he is laboring under a fit of i'm
patience. He exaggerates. He does not
speak for "the ordinary business man
and citizen" who neither fears, dis
trusts nor despises Congress. He prob
ably entertains no such feeling himself
This deliverance at this time may be
safely ascribed to the revenue measure.
The ways and means committee and the
House by their haste in that matter did
give 1.-The ordinary business man and
citizen pain" The bill they pre-
pared and passed was crude, and un.
suited to the occasion. 1t suggested a
lack of resolution to grapple with real
difficulty, and disposition "to pass it
along" to the Senate, conference COM
mittee and the President. And the bill
is now en- route, with "the ordinary
business man and citizen" curious and
disquieted as to the outcome.
While Congress is mot, and does not
deserve to be, feared, distrusted and
despised" by "the ordinary business
man and citizen" it yet might with
profit to itself and the country mend
some of its ways. It has Of late been
hurrying too much. 1t has likewise
yielded too much and too readily to out
side influences. Last year a labor Or
ganization Of few hundred thousand
men secured by standard deliver meth
DDS legislation favorable to itself.
That, as the result Of these things,
Congress has lost somewhat in popular
respect and confidence cannot be denied.
Many expressions in print and speech
testify to the fact. But it has the
power easily to regain the ground. If
it will restore the Speaker to his former
place in the equation, making him
again, as he should be, the second Off
cial in consequence under the govern
ment, iberalize House debate, and pass
nothing along to the President which
it can and should do itself it will enjoy
again, and deserve, all the confidence
intended for it by the organizers of the
government, and which for very long
time it did enjoy in very large measure.

Find the Spy!

That Germany would endeayor to SINK
the transports by which the American
troops were going to France was taken
for granted when the United States en-
tered the war and prepared to send an
army abroad. And it followed that the
Berlin government would seek to know,
by any possible means, the time at
which the ships sailed and the routes
they followed. 1t is. however. most dis
quoting to learn that apparently ae-
eurate information was gained by
Germany on these points and that sub
marines lay in wait for the transport
fleet on the way across the Atlantic and
attacked the ships While it is. of
course, cause of the greatest rejoicing
that the attacks were futile and that
the conveying ships beat off the sub
marines without loss to the transports
or themselves, and, it is confidently be-
lieved, with loss to the enemy, the fact
that opportunity was afforded the foe
through his spies in this country to way

upon the public spirit.
In war any means of securing infor
nation as to the military moves of the
enemy are legitimate. If our citizens
have been corrupted into the service of
Germany it is Germany's right to en-
gage them. If alien enemies are still at
work in this country gathering infor-
nation and sending it to Berlin they
are doing what it is their duty to do,
for their country. The former are trail
tors to their land The latter are patri-
OTIS from their own point of view. But
both traitors and spies are enemies to
the United States and run the risk of
death if detected.
That spies are at work here, perhaps
and even probably right here in Wash
ington. gathering facts as to the gov
ernment's plans and moves, is painfully
evident The immediate problem is to
find them. Every precaution was taken
to prevent the fact Of the shipment Of
troops from becoming known. Natural
~, it was impossible to keep the move
ment total secret. So large body of
men and so many ships could not be
sent forth without attracting some at
tention. But that the very route of the
vessels and their point Of rendezvous
ut sea should be so definitely known
that the submarines could be massed to
meet them on their way points unmis-
takably to the presence in the inner
naval circles-the army had nothing to
do with the convoy of the ships-of
spy who has access to the most vital
facts and, moreover, means of commu-
nicating them to Germany
Nothing is to be gained by mere de-
nunciation of espionage. The business
IN hand is to find the spies and punish
them, or, if they cannot be detected in
their acts, to close the avenues of in
formation through which they get and
communicate the secrets of the govern
ment. 1t should be possible to trace
out all conceivable channels. The
names Of those who possessed the secret
Of the transport fleets route are known.
