Los Angeles and the Movies.

There is 10 denying the remarkable
influence Of the motion picture in
AmcTiran life. 1t has affected many
lines Of business, has almost complete
" rcvelutionized the amusement world
and has completely changed the do
nestle routine in the majority of
homes. 1t has had an influence, too,
upon the growth of cities. Take the
ease of Los Angeles rs striking and
convincing example. Ten years ago
the City of the Angels had $40, 1913 peo-
Pile Then the motion picture makers
discovered there the ideal "makings'
for movies. a wonderfully clear air, q
wide range of artistic and dramatic
"locations." the combination of sea,
plain and mountain near at hand. and
enough urban elegance to afford set
tings for the Sophisticated screen
drama. Hence studios were located
there and so remarkable were the re-
suits that others followed the exam
pies Of the pioneers. Presently Los
Angeles became the national center of
the movie making business, with more
film actors and photographers and
property men and extras to the square
, mile than any other part of the globe.
| The results tell in the census figures.
In ten years Los Angeles has taken
on 256,22S2 people. Part of this is nat
ural growth. But a large portion of
| it is undoubtedly the result of the
movie industry. In consequence of
this sos per cent increase Los Angeles
goes ahead of San Francisco and be
comes the metropolis of the Pacific
coast, preeminence that is likely to
hold as long as the film flickers. Great,
indeed, is the great American movie.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
SeclusiOn

SeclusiOn.
Far from the tumult and the strife
A man and woman sit to read
OF great events in human life
That call for toll in thought and
deed.
The lamp burns bright. The room is
still.
The lettering shadow holds no fear.
For those who have the battle thrill
They have smile, perhaps a sheer
The men of purpose who contend
With ardor for some chosen cause
We deem rewarded if we lend
A measure of our mild applause.
Shall we pursue the languid way,
And make repose our one demands
Or shall we mingle in the fray,
And strive to help and understand

The Wet Program.

Gov. Edwards of New Jersey, who
will be the leader of the vets at San
Francisco, and later if he can estab
lish leadership, appeals from the de-
cision of the Supreme Court ITO the
great and final referendum of the
American people" This is his pro-
gram, announced yesterday:
avery candidate for Congress, every
state and legislative official, and the
candidates for the presidency itself
will be called upon this coming Novem-
Der to declare their positions unmis-
takably on the sane and reasonable
Interpretation of the constitutional
amendment in favor of the permissive
use of light wines and beers, each state
to determine its regulations under the
liberal limitations of general federal
statute"
So The Star predicted Tuesday. In
deed. nothing else remains to the vets.
They have exhausted all other re
sources. Congress has acted, the states
in sufficient number have ratified that
action, and the highest court under

A Betrayal of Trust.

All chance that the board of educa-
ton, judged as whole by the act OF
the majority. should regain the con
fdence and esteem of the community
passed yesterday when it voted, four
to two, to ignore the findings of the
select committee of the Senate and
the action of the Senate itself and
the repeated emphatic declarations of
the people and to refuse reelection to
the superintendent. The board quotes
in its statement explanatory of its ae-
ton the Senate committee on points
as to which there is not and has never
been the slightest question. 1t re-
fuses to recognize any force in the
committees recommendation on the
major and important issue.
Undeniably the board is strictly
within its rights in thus persisting IN
course that offends the dominant
sentiment of the District people. 1t
is the legally constituted administra-
tive body and it has the power in law
to elect whom it pleases to head the
public education system of Washington.
There will thus be a change in the school
organization, greatly to the displeas-
ure of the parents of the 10000 chill
dren whose welfare has with ques-
tionable sincerity been cited by the
board in justification of its act. There
is no method of appeal. The ease is
settled. save for the selection of the
successor. who is to submit himself
to the doubtful direction of this board.
The ease is settled, that is to say,
for the present. The legislation start
ed in the closing hours of the SEES
sion may. and should, be finished next
winter. The board has challenged Con-
gress. 1t remains to be seen whether
il will be permitted thus to defy both
public sentiment and Legislative inten
tion. The sad prospect is thus opened
of renewed controversy. with the
consequence of further disturbance in
the schools.
The board of education has appar-
emily not considered this aspect of the
ease, else it would have recognized
that the way to school harmony and
peace and development lay in an i'm
mediate adjustment to the public de-
sire.
II was suggested after the failure
of the projected legislation that the
proper and honorable course for the
board to follow was to resign and
leave the case with the court. The
court, by reappointment of the three
retiring members-two of whom were
known to be opposed to the supern-
tendent-has affirmed the boards de-
termination to GUST him. Now the
board as at present constituted should
hold fast and not seek, through resig-
nation, to avoid the burden of this
decision, the effect of which is vet to
come.
For Supt. Thurston. thus virtually
dismissed after years of faithful and
efficient and constantly more valuable
service, and after the successful dis
charge of his duties in the most diff
ficult and trying circumstances, the
people of Washington entertain to-
day the highest respect and for him
they feel the most sincere sympathy.
He is at present the object of greater
regard than those who have for per
sonal and prejudiced reasons voted to
east him out of the school system.

done for the men who served the
country in its time of need, and eff
forts will be made by the Post here
to interest the former soldiers in
continuing their government insur-
ance policies.
There was large attendance, and
, indications point to the fact that the

Strike of LongshOremen is
Temporarily Interfer-
ing with Shipping
STEPS ARE TAKEN
TO ADJUSTS TROUBLE
Boar dof Trade Committee
Will Make an Effort to Ar
rangea Standard Scale of
Wages for Shipping EN-
plOyees.

| Shipping from the port of Bruns-
wick has been Temporarily crippled
\ by the strike of longshoremen now
in progress here. The Clyde line
| steamer, San Marcos, which arrived
in port light Monday afternoon from
Port Arthur, Texas, for the purpose
of relieving the existing congestion,
| was forced to proceed to Jacksonville
yesterday afternoon without taking
on any cargo, although the docks are
piled high with waiting freight.
A movement was inaugurated to
enlist the business men of the city
to undertake the work of loading the
ship, but not enough names could be-
secured to the petition, and this means
OF relieving the situation was aban-
doned. On account of the fact that
considerable tonnage is also available
at Jacksonville, the; San Marcos pro-
ceeded to that point for cargo, Off
cials of the line deciding not to hold
the vessel here, pending the settle
ment of the strike.
That thetie-up here is temporary,
and will be relieved in few days is
practically assured. But that the
situation is serious is readily admit
ted, and steps have been taken to adj
just matters so that normal condi-
lions may be resumed without delay.
Parties interested in shipping ap-
oeared before a called meeting of the
5oard Of Trade yesterday Afternoon,
and that organization will lake active
steps at once to bring about an adj
iustment. The special committee of
she local trade body appointed to look
lfter the harbor and shipping inter-
ests OF the city will .endeavor to bring
about a conference of the several
shipping concerns Of Brunswick in
order to establish a standard scale of
wages for longshoremen and other
workers employed in shipping trade,
and it is hoped that the strike can be
adjusted at once.
In the past two months strikes of
longshoremen have occurred at prac-
tlcally every port on the Atlantic
coast, but the present trouble is the
first experienced here, and will no
ioubt be speedily settled.
Officials of the Clyde line have Civ
an out the information that no more
ships OF that company will be sent to
Brunswick until the labor trouble is
settled, and active steps will be tax
en- at once to bring about settle
ment of the differences existing be-
tween the striking longshoremen and
The shipping companies. Brunswick
has too much at stake to permit the
strike to continue for any length of
time, and it is expected that the mat
ter will be adjusted within few
days.
