Second, the proposed law is not
practicable. There are some hun
dreds of pictures shown in Georgia
for the first time each day. If it re-
quires an average of one hour, or
even half an hour, to run off each
picture, and if the three members of
the board should find themselves in
complete accord on the propriety of
each picture, without argument, it
would be physical impossibility for
that board, working twenty-four
hours a day, to censor any considera-
BILE proportion of the films. AS a
matter of fact it taxes the magma
ton of the most cheerful optimist to
conceive of even three persons
though actuated by the same lofty
purpose, assuming their honesty and
ability, being governed by the same
reactions inc considerable pro-
portion of cases. There being no
possible arbitrary fixed standard,
other than the individuals own stand
ard, each individual finds himself try
ing to judge the reaction upon others
by the reaction upon himself. Some

very righteous and conscientious peo-
pie in Salem used to burn witches at
the stake.
Even churches differ on matters of
morals. Some churches condone card
playing and frown on dancing. Some
permit either or condemn 10th. Some
communities legislate against selling
fruit on Sunday, while others believe
in encouraging baseball and other
sports. There are honest differences
of opinion among good people on
many questions of right and wrong.
How, then, can three persons be
expected to pass on the propriety Of
pictures for millions of other people?
Is a picture of reception proper if
some of the guests are in evening
gowns? Undoubtedly, if the gowns
are not cut too low. But just how
low IS too low? How many of the
censors would agree on this point? Is
picture showing a game of cards
proper? Does it depend on the game
authors, rock, euchre, casino, slap
jack, bridge or poker? Is it wrong
to show little boys playing Indian?
Some people think that would have a
bad tendency. Where is the dividing

Personal liberty is sometimes a
badly overworked phrase. Its def

that question, although it is probably
the most general objection to GEN.
sorship.
Let's just decide the case on these
points:
Is censorship really necessary, in
view of the voluntary censorship that
exists?
Is it practicable, in view of the alb
sence of any possible exact standard?
Is it wise, in view of the wide gate
that it opens toward censorship of a
free press and free speech?
The Georgian thinks "No" to each
question, and earnestly hopes the
Legislature of Georgia will give full
consideration to these points before
approving the report of the commit
tee that in the opinion of The Geor-
gian, acted on superficial impulse,
rather than on careful analysis of
just what this bill means.

Champ Clark announces that if the
Democratic party wants strong can
didate who can carry Missouri and
Kentucky he's the man. Maybe he is
but what thought that is for Demo-
grassland there is no gainsaying it's
one that cannot be ignored that it
takes a go-getter of a Democrat to
carry Missouri and Kentucky these
days. That would have been thought
a queer recommendation for a Demo-
crat few short years ago, not I'M
like urging the ability of Democrat
to carry Georgia and Alabama But
Mr.. Clark takes the facts as they are
and sets up his own standard of
strength. He can carry states always
claimed by the Democrats, one of
which is his own. If any Democrat
thinks he can do better than that let
him speak up. But although Missouri
is Mr.. Clark's own state his name is
to be presented at San Francisco by
Louisiana.

BERLIN UNDER
BAYONET RULE
WHOLE COUNTRY EXCEPT THE
SOUTHERN STATES, is IN
REBELLlOuS MOOD
CROWDS INSULT KAPp MEN
Reforms Demanded OF President Ebert
by German Radicals Are
Numerous

New York.-Berlin Is still under the
rule of bayonets, but troops loyal to
tie Ebert government patrol the
streets. Forces which supported the
regim eset up by DR.. Wolgang Kapp
and his followers have left Berlin.
Withdrawal OF these soldiers how
ever, left chaos behind, as the rear
guard turned against jeering crowds
in Inter den Linden and fired, many
citizens being killed and scores being
wounded. More bloodshed occurred
near the parliament buildings, while
in Charlottenburg and other suburb
clashes resulted in loss of life.
While radical elements have not
made organized attacks on the cap
ital, economic conditions are described
as serious. The resumption Of power
by the constitutional government is
opposed by those who believed it bar
gained with the reactionaries who
tried to seize control, and there seems
to be an urgent demand for a reor-
ganization of the ministry and further
changes in policy.
Reports from Germany outside of
Berlin are eof such character that
clear view Of the situation is hard to
obtain at present.
