William A. Pinkerton, the world
famous thief-catcher, advocates law
forbiding moving pictures of criminal
acts. His views are worthy of atten-
ton. The motion picture art is worthy
of higher subjects than these. I'm
less the reforms begin from the in
side, the outside influence, as Mr..
Pinkerton suggests, will be forced to
make the initial move.

With a world in apparent chaos,
with news Of anarchy, revolution, Bit
terness and brutality fairly leaping
from our daily newspapers, with con-
troversies everywhere, recrimination,
abuse and sordid crime, the cynies and
pessimists may well gain a superficial
justification of their attitude.
Yet these conditions, after all, do
not embrace the world as a whole, or
even the majority in the communities
affected. For all the evidence to the
contrary, the great heart Of the world
is still sound; the great preponderance
Of thought, opinion and sensibiity is
on the side of law and order, Of
reasonableness, of high principles, and
of decency and goodness. The hor-
rors stand forth with greater Obvious
ness for that very reason-they are
still news, still unusual, peculiar, dis
Itinctive, and shocking. They are, per
haps, the inevitable aftermath of a
great upheaval which has nuddied the
stream, stirred up the dregs, clouded
the inherent purity of the worlds
fair waters. They are not the great
| life giving water itself, but a mere
temporary pollution which will soon
be filtered effectually through the
arch-reservoirs of public integrity.
"Noblesse Oblige' has not lost Its
potency in the human heart That
wide principle by which authority and
responsibility, superiority in any
channel, entail the great human oblig-
alton is still extant. And in this
country, where the voice of the peo-
pie as a whole is the voice of authority
and responsibility, there can be nc
permanent anarchy, no ultimate re
bcllion, since "noblesse oblige' is in
corporated in the sound heart of tn,
mighty American family.
1t is a firm basic creed, this mob
Jesse oblige," which means that mucl
is rightly expected of high birth o.
station, of authority, Of intellect an,
virtue. And if the noisy agitator
and temporary leaders Of strife AM
anarchy have failed in this might,
obligation. their chief destruction
must inevitably be of themselves an
their duped followers.
There have been chaos and anarch
in this world before, Every countr
has experienced it at some time o
another, but always it is. defeated i
the end-by the awakened conscious
ness of "noblesse oblige,' so deepl
rooted in the great heart Of tn

KICK EN- OUT.

The most unfortunate thing that
has happened to baseball in all Of the
history of the game is the alleged
throwing of games during the last
Worlds series. As the New York
Times aptly says, 'The average Amer
lean is as sure of the purity of the
great national game as he is of the
corruption of national politics"
This is true and nothing should be
left undone to determine what play
ers have been tampering with the
game for money, and they should be
kicked bodily out Of the game, AND
barred from professional baseball
for ever. The honor and integrity OF
the game should not be sacrificed fol

however prominent and notable anc
outstanding they may be in the sport

TUNDRA MAKES
 PAPER PULP0F
 GOOD QUALITY

The average sourdough and wander CT in Alaska has for years blasphemed the lowly tundra and wondered why under the sun the Creator laid the resilient carpet over the landscape, hiding the treasure from the prospec- tor, furnishing a hybernating and a breeding place for the mosquito and making travelling in t',e summer as much of an aquatic performance as one of pedestrianism.
 Science will soon answer the Ques- tion. Tundra. in a semi-peat form supplies a splendid fiber for paper.
 Already an eastern syndicate is pre- pairing to investigate the vast tundra beds of Alaska, with view to utiliz- ing them for profit. Their work of exploration will be simplified by ap- pealing to the sourdough, who can tell them every plague spot in the terri tory and he will agree to guide them there if they will agree to take it out of his regular path of travel.
 The process of reducing peaty ma terails to paper pulp was discovered in England and has been succesS- lufly demonstrated by a number of paper manufacturers.
 The, process depends upon the fresh cut peat, which contains 75 per cent of moisture. Expensive machinery is not necessary, nor is expert labor. All that is necessary is washing and bleaching the fibrous material and a small plant for heating. As for the final paper making machinery it will not differ from that now in use, save that there will be some saving in the beaters as regards time.
 The new paper has been found to take analine colors remarkably we'll
 Plants for the utilization of tun- dras and peats may be erected at central point adjacent to deposits to overcome cost of transportation of raw material.
 It is estimated that there is suffi- cient tundra and peaty materials in Alaska to produce millions of tons of paper pulp.

Soldiers Bonus Legislation in Congress

ALL chance of the passage of sol A diers' bonus legislation next win ter seems to hHve gone glimmering. Failure of the party platforms to de- clGre for the proposition seems to have destroyed all hopes of favorable action by congress-
 Supporters of the bonus bill had relied implicitly on the political con ventions taking a stand on the, sub feet. They had gone on the theory that political pressure from the eX- service men would be so strong that both parties would be sure to declare for some form of adjusted compensa- ion.
 The soldiers bonus bill as passed by the house a week before the recent ad- iournment is pending in the senate committee on finance. The committee nas given the bill no consideration and may prefer to allow 1t to slumber without action during the coming ses- sion. Officers of the American Legion however are certain to agitate ana probably will force the committee to report the bill to the floor of the sen ate.

THAT "DRIFT TO COX"

In the concluding days of the cam- paign some newspaper correspondent invented a drift to Cox. It must have been entirely imaginary, but the idea spread Many Republican and independent newspapers solemn ly discussed the drift to the Demo- cratic candidate at time when the voters were getting ready to rise up en masse and roll things over on the Democratic national ticket with unanimity unprecedented in American politics. Reproduction of this material at this time would con- stitute cruelty to animals. The real truth is that there never has been any Justification in common sense for the belief that Governor Cox could be elected president. Failure to sense the drift of things is eXcus- able when the election is closed, but when the outcome was so ob- vious the serious acceptance by so many newspapers of the idea that the election result this year was matter of grave doubt seems mex cusable. The worst of it is that lot of credulous people lost money betting on the stuff they read in the daily press. at

CT classes will live and form the judgment of posterity.
 He can have read our history to little purpose if he does not know that final judgment on president is not passed during his administra- tion, or during his lifetime; it is passed only after the passions have cooled, after the final consequences. of his acts and policies have become apparent and when time places them in true perspective. He will think not of the scurrilities heaped upon Washington while he lived but of the reverence in which he is held by fter-generations in all lands. With hope of even approaching like fame, he will not be perturbed by the muckrakers, but will look for the approval of the clean-minded, the high-minded, the honest, sound, clear thinkers, the men of vigorous, straight action.
 The, majority, though disapprov- ing of a presidents acts, does not necessarily question the integrity of hisp motives. The trite saying that republics are ungratful has won vogue because often the ungrateful acts and words of a few were taken to be those of the whole nation.

A NEW DEAL IS NEEDED

Organized labor needs new lead ership at Washington. The coterie in control of the national headquar- ters of the American Federation of Labor has used the organization as an appendage of the Wilson admin istration and of the Demicratic party. The same leadership which has attempted to deliver labor en masse against the Republican party will undoubtedly continue it's attitude of intense hostility to everything Re- publican, because those in control are lifelong partisan Democrats who have been the partisans and the beneficiaries of the present national administration. The Republican party is in sympathy with all the just aspirations of labor It cannot be expected to be in sympathy with men who have sought to use the machinery of organized labor for partisan and personal purposes; to deliver it bag and baggage to the Democratic party. The interests of organized labor demand leadership which will not sacrifice the cause of labor to personal and partisan ends; which is capable of a fair deal and a square deal to that party to which the people, by an overwhelming ma jority, have committed the control of the national government

ARE THE PEOPLE UNGRATEFUL

Defeat of a president for re-elec- tion or of his party for continuance in power always leads sundry per sons to bewail the ingratitude of the people, to dwell particularly on the abuse to which a president is sub- ject. Such philosophy is repeated with the result of the election as the text, and with the islanders to which George Washington was sub- ject and the assassination of Lincoln
 Garfield and Mckinley as examples
 Such reflections are founded on false premises. A man who aspires to the presidency knowingly invites the praise or censure of each indi- vidual in the nation. He does so in the hope that the praise will far overbalance the censure. He also knows that it takes all kinds of peo- pie to make nation, as it does to make a world, and that the kinds range all the way from the most just, appreciative and tolerant to the most unjust, censorious, intolerant, base and depraved He knows that for the time the latter classes will make the most noise and command the most attention, but he also knows that the opinions of the form
