SCORES THOSE WHO SEEK
RETURN OF PRE-WAR STATUS

Nermilion, S. D., Oct. "A scath-
ing rebuke to those who insist on a
return to pre-war conditions and
would even &c back to the Nineteenth
century was delivered by DR.. Eman-
uel ~Sternheim, of Chicago, at the
opening of the University of South
Dakota Wednesday.
THE war said DR.. Sternheim,
h meant a new freedom for all the
world, and the United States, least af-
fected by the strife, has been the
slowest to recognize it's significance.
England, in many respects, is coming
closer to real democracy thar Ameri-
ca.
The enemies Of the new freedom
il. America are Puritanism, selfish in
difference, code-making, money-1ust,
and the blind worship of the old order
of society that has gone brewer.
Flunkyism and hate are even greater
enemies to true democracy than those
just cited. We toady to the rich and
influential and are filed with class
hate and individual hate.
again, we mistake machinery for
progress and put our faith in or
~ganization n uniformity. We make
more laws and break more laws than
any other nation. We must not mis-
take machinery for culture. The new
freedom that is dawning over the
world demands a spiritual re- birth,
individuality plus social conscience
and, above all. love; love of the fine
as opposed to the coarse, love of the
cultural as opposed to the material
istic, love Of the idealistic and love
of country"

THEATORIALLY
Things That Would Never Be Said
Regarding Movies, ct cetera, in
Any Other Way.
BY HI.

Is the day of the movie star on the
Eane? 1t would appear so. The great
multitude of stars and near stars is
he chief cause and chiefly the near
Itars.' When the movie business was
sill in its infancy, the star system was
adopted by the producers in order that
he public might become interested
more easily. Vast sums of money
we're spent in putting the various
names in the limelight. For that mat
:er vast sums are still being spent for
hat purpose. but the public has finally
become satiated with stars and is now
-ooking for entertainments when it
Ipends its quarters for movie tickets.
A new move in the movie world is
Ieen in the fact that the producers are
aoW spending their big money in Sc
curing the rights to screen really sue
7essful plays of the legitimate stage
and really popular fiction of the day.
{ is the story that interests the movie
Eoer these days, not the cavortings of
Iome one actor. OF course there are
exceptions to this, as we'll as to any
9ther rule. If the public knows that
David Jifford" is a producer of no
mean merit and if it also knows that
Kari Jay is really a good actor, they
Know that the picture Will be tech
aically all right. but they also want to
know who wrote the story. If it is
he screen production of "Jobbert
Rambers" and they have read his
Itories then they know it is an eve
