WHAT CAUSES SILENCE AT
MOVIES?

Why do people keep silent at the
movies? 80 that they and others may
enjoy the show" IS the answer that I'M
mediatcly suggests Itself. But accord
ing TO Miss Pearl White, q New York
movie authorizes, this IS not the real
reason. People are quiet at tho movies
Miss White declares, because OF the
mental effort necessary to imagine what
the screen characters are saying. Each
spectator, she points out. must supply
his or her own dialogue and with the
mind occupied in this creative work. 1t
Is not possible to converse iutclliYently.
Possibly the spectators at movie shows
would be silent anyhow, either through
courtesy or under the rules OF the man
agemene. Silence Is quite general AT the
spoken drama as well as the silent
variety. In that case, otecourse' the
spectators must keep silent in order 10
hsar what che actors are saying. The
big point In both varieties seems to be
that the mind of the spectator Is IN some
manner occupied and that the Thought
necessary to connected conversation is
therefore impossible.
Il will generally be found that those
who DO converse at theatres during the
performance are not interested In the
show or have seen IL before. Even so,
Miss White may DO correct. The movies
do demand creative attention.

THERE Is NO UNCERTAINTY

Those who have been hoping that Mr..
Harding would say something concern
ing financial and business policies may
rest assured that the program Of the
incoming administration on these sub
iects will be conservative. To relieve
the people and business in some degree
OF their taxation burdens and 10 pro-
mote steady prosperity, will be among
the first and greatest objects OF Mr..
Harding and his advisors.
Nothing that Mr.. Harding could say
or do at the present time could stop tho
process Of deflation. nor Is 1t advisable
that the progress of the movement to-
ward normal conditions be stopped. The
world faces a new set OF economic facts
and to oppose rcadjustment is to oppose
an irresistible force. Demand has de-
creased enormously and supply Is In
crcasng. There is nothing alarming
about this. but it does involve CONSIDER
able shifting OF the scenes.
The Republican party has no war with
which to command unanimous public
support. - It mus, gain public approval
II at all. by measures that will bring
general peace time prosperity. Being
IN full control It may be depended upon
TO enact such measures speedily. after
il has assumed power on March 4. In
the meantime. confidence in the future
Is q matter OF course.

UNHAPPY IRELAND

There are no words strong enough 10
describe the dcplorable situation in Ire
land. Generalization almost equal to
absolute anarchy reigns. with the ra1i-
cal element OF the people and the Brit
ish police Officers killing. wounding and
destroying property. II is useless from,
this distance to attempt to reach any
conclusion as to the blame for any par
ticular atrocity. No doubt there Is
blame on both sides. One thing is GER
tain. and that It that Ireland is the chief
sufferer.
The wore OF II Is. that there Is no
solution in sight. the Sim Fem has
established an Irish republic and de-
nands complete independence. Great
Britain will not grant independence 10
Ireland and the reign OF violence Is the
result The geographical position OF
Ireland and her weakness in comparison
to Great Britain, make I struggle FOR In
dependence hopeless undertaking. ANY
fighting must. be OF a guerilla nature
and this can continue almost indefi-
nitely.
Tho present outlook Is that England
will try to stop this state Of affairs by
sending an overwhelming military force
to Ireland BY this means, It Will. OF
course. be possible to end all organized
attacks, but the bitter feeling that ex-
lists will be strengthened and given

LEAGUE TO DISCUSS AR
TTcIE

Tho discussion by the assembly OF the
league Of nations Of the responsibilities
Of members under Article Y should
provo decidedly interesting. The ques-
lion has como up at Geneva in connec-
ton with the applications OF II small
states for membership.
. As will DO recalled. this point was
pretty thoroughly threshed out during
our recent political campaign. Inc
league Of nations was made the leading
Democratic issue and President Wilson
took tho stand that Article was tho
heart Of the league" without which 1t
would cease to be OF any real value. He
denied that II imposed any legal ooliSa-
ton upon this nation to send military
forces abroad but admitted that It did
impose IAN absolutely compelling moral
obligation"
The Republican position was that the
Obligation under Article y was legal as
we'll as moral and that. In either case,
this nation would be bound in honor TO
send troops or ships whenever called
upon BY the league. to any quarter OF
the globe, 10 participate in the battles
Of any league member.
A, the same time. Leon Bourgeois. who
was then president OF tho league. de-
cIared that Europe did not regard Art'-
Gle Y as a vital part Of tho league.
British and Italian statesmen also en-
pressed their willingness TO accept the
reservation proposed by United states
senators on this article. which would
null!fy il.
Tho discussion AZ Geneva can have
no great practical value. since the rest
Of the world is anxiously awaiting the
entrance OF the United States into the
league with reservations including the
one placing Article x in the discard. The
views expressed, however. will be a
highly diverting s.delight.
