Censoring Motion Pictures.

The moral atmosphere Of New York
will not suffer pollution by reason Of
the Aldermen's refusal to enact an
ordinance to create a municipal CEN
sorship Of motion pictures.
The penal law is ample to protect
the public from obscene exhibitions.
The good sense and business expert
ence Of the large producers Of motion
pictures will keep their output clean.
Immediate profit might be made from
indecent pictures, but rs the screen
theatres are supported by respectable
men and women and depend for their
permanent success on the patronage
Of families their managers are not
going to imperll the industry by ca
tering to the tastes of morbid and las
civious persons.
In this matter, as in so many others,
reform of Objectionable practices
should be brought about by the pres
sure of public opinion and the en-
forcement of existing laws. The null
DUPLICATION of statutes causes confu-
sion and gives rise to misunderstand-
ing. A few laws well enforced are
better than hundreds Of statutes for
gotten or disregarded.

and the performance Of duties i'm
posed by public office were something
Of far greater dignity and Importance
than the qualification of personal or
party ambition. His campaigns were
conducted on singularly high plane
at a time when the politics Of Wis
consln was marked by great bitter
ness. He resolutely refused to de-
scend to mere personalities in his can
vases, and he strove to bring popular
consideration of political problems up
to an intellectual standard common
surate with their Importance. In this
he was notably successful, and many
Americans, long fed on the false doc
trine that personalities are of supreme
consequence in politics, owe the rec
tifcation of their ideas to the earnest
efforts Of JOHN G. SPooNER.
Mr.. SPooNER's resignation from the
Senate in 1907 was serious loss to
that body. In the practice of law in
this city he displayed the same quail
ties that had marked his public life,
and he won an enviable place at the
bar. He was great and useful

Daylight Saving rs q Factor In the
Price Of Food.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-SF: l
wish to say as a practical farmer. oper-
ating my own farm Of 500 acres, that
real farmers do most strenuously object
to the present daylight saving law.
Farmers who are employers OF labor
canned regulate the hours Of labor any
more than other employers of labor.
My farm. which produced 500 tons OF
food in 1918, cost 5000 more to operate
than 1t would have cost II the daylight
saving law had not been In force.
This loss was caused by the carly
morning hours, when work could not
DO started on account of dampness.
The farm laborer will not work after
the regular quitting time to make up
for the lost time in early morning hours.
Therefore the increased cost Of produc-
ton Of food falls on the consumer, who
helps to pay the farmer for this loss
of time on the farm.
For those who are seeking recreation
daylight saving may be a benefit. but
tho daylight saving law discourages pro-
duction and increases the cost Of living.
Real farmers are demanding the repeal
Of this most obnoxious law.

the roads, in fields and woods, great
masses of their blooms greet the eye.
Then too tho sportsman may enjoy
all this, stop along tho road which bor-
ders close to the lake and drop in a
line or cast a fly, for in its waters are
trout, pickerel and perch or he may
wander up one of the many streams
that flow into the Ashokan and try for
the speckled trout. 1t is all as free as
nature can give.
! enjoyed just this during tho last
week end and hooked a three FOUNDER.
You don't believe It? Well. stop any
day on the bridge over the dividing
weir which separates the upper and the
lower basin OF the Ashokan and you
will see trout as long az your arm
sporting in the swirl OF waters there.
You may choose a messy bank to
spread your picnic hamper. but II YOU
have not thought to bring lunch you
may stop along the road at an inn,
where you are sure to get "A bite or a
good round meal II you desire.
The whole trip from beginning to end
is through historic part OF our State /;
there are many points of interest, and
all Ia full of natural beauty to lure one

A Billion Of Dollars More Cost for
Billions OF Tons Less work.

Let little plain arithmetic tell the
grim tale of Government operation
economic synonym for wreckage:
For the first four months of this
year of 1919 the American railroads
carried two and a quarter billions of
ton miles Of freight less than the av-
erage of the same period in the three
years before the Government took
over the roads.
In the four months of 1919 IL cost
the American people in higher freight
bills SAT- $4,000 more than 1t cost
the American people in the CORE
spending test period before Govern
ment operation to ship and pay the
freight bills on two and a quarter
billions more ton miles of freight
hauled in that corresponding test
period.
But 1t also cost the railroads nearly
S612, 100000 mOre-to be exact, $611,-
797 ,0O0-to haul the 2,25S,000,0 900
fewer ton miles Of freight than in the
test period.
Directly costing the American pub
lie, in higher freight bills, SAT $4,000
more, and indirectly costing the
American public, in deficits which
must be made up out of taxes on the
people $611, 10000, here is an in
creased cost to the public Of more
than a billion of dollars-to be exact,
81 059,747 900.
More than. billion Of dollars Of
increased costs to the American peo-
pie in only four months--one-third of
year-for the transportation of two
and a quarter billions fewer ton miles
of freight!
The touch of the Government in
business is the touch Of death.

Tar and Feathers.

Most persons think of tar and
feathers as a punishment limited to
mobS in wild America, so it is shock
to read that it was the form of ven
geance recently applied by an Eng
lish army officer to an English naval
officer who had committed an unpar-
donable social offence against him.
The aggrieved husband and his
brother tied the culprit to tree with
chains and applied tar and feathers
as thoroughly as band of White
Caps would have done it.
Curlously. the first known use of
tar and feathers was In the English
navy, it being the legal punishment
formulated by RICHARD Of the Lion
Heart for thieves in 1880. The King
was about to set out on the Third
Crusade and, fearing that all of his
sailors were not as plous as himself,
he laid the penalty of shower of
'boyling pitch" upon those who stole,
feathers or down to be strewed upon
the victim.
