former secretary of the interior. Mr.,
Fisher was testifying before the sen
ate interstate commerce commission
at hearings On the pending bill pro-
viding for government control of these
marketing facilities.
The witness declared hat prices
would bump the ceiling and at the
same time there. would be danger Of
%diminution Of production If the gov
eminent took no action to curb what
he described as a practical monopoly
maintained by the five leading pack
ers. Stock raisers, he said, would
hasten to sell even breeding animals
to get a share of the temporary high
prices which the packers would force.
and therby production of new animals
would decrease.
Mr.. Fisher urged that the stock
cars, the refrigerator cars, stock yards
and terminal refrigerator plants be
taken ! over by the railroads, rather
than the government, for permanent
operation, as a Of promoting
real competition" among packers. II
this failed, he would try, government

Republicans are making charge
that the State Board of Control
year or more ago bought 10000
yards of denim from an unknown
man named A. j. S. Armstrong at
a time when the cloth was worth on

Black has urged the Attorney Cen

which originated with E. ]. Howell.

the board-will no doubt take

A development of the greatest inn

DR.. A. J. A. Alexander, of Wood

strong interview urging the people of
Kentucky to vote for Governor Jas.

Tuesday.
The announcement of DR.. Alex

few men who live in Kentucky are

a larger influence. 1t is known that
DR.. Alexander did not decide to

after he had carefully gone over the

KNOCKED OUT
Mandatory Injunstion Sought i
Denied By Judge.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 29.--The suit
Of the Republicans fled in the JEFF
ferson Circuit Court. asking man
datory injunction against Matt S,
Cohen and other state fair officials to
allow representatives Of the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee to ex-
anime state fair books and records,
was knocked into cooked hat here
this afternoon. Judge Arthur M.
Wallace of the First Chancery di-
vision, ruled adversely on the mo-
ton for an injunction and, after lis
tening patiently to Republican tales
of woe relative to their unsuccessful
efforts in sevring legal notices
and summons on defendants, grant
ed an appeal to the Appellate court.
Judge Wallace in overruling the
motion for the injunction said he
did not think the proof warranted
the court to resort to such an extra
ordinary remedy as granting man
datory injunction for the plaintiffs
to go into the defendants Office and
inspect the books and records solely
for using the information for politi-
cal purposes. He said he did. not see
where the Plaintiffs would be done an
irreparable damage if the injunctions
was denied.

DR.. Alexander also noted the fact
that is it possible that the man to be
elected Governor next Tuesday will
have to fill a vacancy, should one oc-
cur in the Senate, and expressed his
confidence that Governor Black, if
called upon to discharge such duty,
would appoint a man who would
support President Wilson and Rep
resent Kentucky as Kentucky should
be represented.
For Governor Blacks Program
He strongly commended Governor
Blacks program for educational re-
form, and closed by stating:

THE MOVING PICTURE =
ENEMY OR ALLY I?
A Churchman's View Of the Film
Makers Art.


Press reports that on recent Sun
day count was made in Washington
City, showing there were fifty thou
sand people at the movies and seven
thousand at church. Straightway
the preachers met, the papers say,
and demanded that the moving pic
ture theatres be closed on Sunday.
That, of course, is one way of
meeting the competition, however
humiliating its application. The
preachers demand for Sunday clos
ing was fully justified, we are sure,
not primarily because the pictures
kept people away from church, but
as protest against the commercial
izing of the Sabbath.
But whether the members succeed
in closing the theatres or not, the
incident should suggest to them one
very practical step, namely, the con-
version of the moving picture to the
uses of the church. With its univer-
sal appeal, coupled with limitless ed
ucational possibilities, easily conevrt
IDLE to moral and religious ends, it
will be nothing short of criminal
should the church fail to adopt it
and utilize it for good, particularly
in day when the competition is so
keen. Uplifting pictures exhibited
in every Washington pulpit every
Sunday evening would not only give
the ministers full churches to preach
to, but might themselves embody APP
peals to righteousness more powerful
than the spoken word can usually
hope to do.
For that matter, such pictures
might be run night after night, or
all Sunday afternoon, preaching si-
lently hour after hour sermons Of
character, of heroism, of love and
sacrifice and brotherhood, of temper
ance and hygiene, of the consequent
ces of sin, the JOY of forgiveness,
and the glory of regeneration.
There are such films, and they arc
in number. Those who
attended the recent Centenary cele-
oration at Columbus, Ohio, had OPP
to see many such. There
ire firms that make speciality of
heir production to keep pace with
he demand.-R. B. Eleazer, in Mis-
ionary Voice.

hibitionists. If Mr.. Black is elected
we will have real enforcement Of
the prohibition laws, which believe
and hope our people viii make pos

DR.. Alexander then mentioned the
fact that liquor is being openly sold
in Louisville, and that the saloon
keepers who have been breaking the
law, or many Of them, are avowed
and active supporters Of Mr.. Morrow
and are Vehement opponents of
Gov. Black.

Upton AMAZED.

OF all the changes in this coun-
try since his last visit in 1918. Sir
Thomas Upton on Monday said in
New York that he considered the
passing of the prohibition amend
ment the most remarkable. Sir
Thomas declared that he was sur
prised because it had always been
his opinion that American citizens
would never permit their freedom OF
action to be hindered in any way.
Prohibition could not come In Eng
land" he said, "and II is with great
amazement that l see that you in
this country have passed the amend
ment providing that a man shall
not drink certain things. even If ne
wants to and has the price. In
England we have always rather inn
agined Americans as being the
freest people on earth and as being
most jealous of that freedom. What
viii you do when prohibition is in
force? WIN it be easy to obey the
law?" The mission of Sir Thomas
is for the purpose Of inspecting his
yacht, the Erin. on this side since
the outbreak of the war, and issue
another challenge for the Americas
Cup.

PEACE OF WORLD.

The constitution of the League
of Nations is being amended to
meet some of the objections made
against it in this country. That
may lessen the opposition to the
plan, but it is still very doubtful
whether a workable organization
can be perfected to prevent war.
AS the league is more fully dis
cussed it appears to be rather q
dream than a practical reality. The
United States can not become a
guarantor of peace for all Europe
without radically changing the
whole policy of the nation. AS far
as we can see, the League of Ma
tions offers no solution of the
Bolshivik problem that is now con-
fronting Europe. That is the great
danger that is threatening the
peace of the world. What can the
League Of Nations do to save Eur
ope from the chaos that threatens?
That is the test of the leagues
efficiency. 1t may avail against
autocracies, but against anarchy it
seems to be powerless. And anarchy
is fully as dangerous as autocracy
and not less threatening. And the
peace delegates are talking about
League of Nations while
Bolshevism sweeps on westward.

BOISHEvIsM.

With Dolshevism threatening
Europe people are beginning to ask
whether there is danger of that
peculiar brand of insanity penetrat.
ing to this country. We already
have the beginnings of it in the
I. w. W. activity which started in
New York five years ago. Whether
Bolshevism will develop in this
country as it has developed in
Europe will depend largely on how
we meet the problem of labor and
wages. A living wage and fair
treatment for the workingman are
the best safeguard against Boil
shevism here. Those who stand
against these are the best promoters
Of Bolshevism.

ANTDoTE FOR INIPURTTY,

The intention recommended by
Pope Benedict XIV. for the members
of the League of the Sacred Heart
during April is purity. In the in
tention for April our Holy Father
wishes to provide an antidote for
the impure spirit of our age.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for
they shall see God" In their
fight against the church we find that
its enemies appeal to the sensual
side OF human nature. They know
that loss of faith follows often upon
the loss of purity. Against the up
braidings of conscience the impure
seek some solace, and would gladly
deny the existence of future pun
ishment. Experience shows that
loss of purity undermines faith and
the enemies of the church. knowing
this, strike at faith by pampering
sensual instincts. The devil is ever
ready by his evil suggestions TO
lead careless people to adopt the
wicked principles of the world and
palliate horrible sins.
Purity is to be guarded carefully.
It's safeguard will be found in fire.
quent confession and holy commu-
MON. At the altar rail Christ gives
US his body and blood to be the
food of our souls and He gives us
strength to battle against the world,
the flesh and the devil Whatever
imperils purity must be summed.
Immoral companions. immoral plays
and books are proximate occasions
OF sin and must be avoided if the
soul is not to drift blindly into hell.
Catholic parents must guard the
purity OF their children. Parents
who allow boy or girl to roam the
streets at night will have much to
