WHAT THE MOVIES

Editor Of Reveille:
A few weeks ago several boys be-
tween the ages o. ten and twelve
years, residents Of this city were de-
tected and caught in the act Of rob
bing a store, They were arrested
and arraigned before the ecorrecionap'
Judge; and during the process Of the
trial the. judge asked one Of the young
sters, who taught him 10 so sSillfully

face and sparkling eyes his unhesitai-
ing reply was;

In his youthful spirit, not realizing

GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS
INSPECT BAYOU BRIDGE

U. S. Engineer W. A. Todd Of
Vicksburg was here Saturday inspect
ing the Bayou Pierre bridge at Port
Gibson. He came at the solicitation
of President H. R Guthrie of the
board Of supervisors.
Mr.. Todd, in company with Engi-
neer S. c Daniel, made a thorough
inspection Of the bridge and the bayou
andd will probably make his report
to the board when it meets next Mon
day.
He was very much impressed with
the appearance Of the bridge, stating
that it is the first of the kind he has
ever seen. He says II is absolutely
safe if the anchors can be protected
from caving and it is for the protes-
tion of these and the preventing Of
further caving Of the south bank that
he Is most interested in.
Mr.. Todd is said to be one of the
best engineers in the government SER
vice along the lower Mississippi vail
ley.

oUR PRoNENEss 10 MTsJUDGE.

When the charge was made that
Chas Nj. schwab, as head Of the Ship
ping Board during the war, had ap-
propriated a large sum Of government
funds to his own private use, the
whole country was up in arms.
Schwab served the country without
charge, and as soon as this ugly
charge was made, the rank and file
Of the people at once declared that it
could readily be seen why he was
willing to give his seryices-that he
might pilfer the treasury under the
guise Of public necessity.
A congressional investigating com
mittee went iato the whole matter
thoroughly and seeing the injustice
Of the charges, departed from the
usual slow method Of procedure in re-
porting IFS findings and informally
declared that there was absolutely no
truth in the charges.
Schwab's testimony was pathetic
indeed. After giving up his own busi-
ness and serving his country faith
fully, il was no wonder that he chafed
under the charges.
How prone we are to question the
honesty Of men in places Of trust.
We oughtAat least to give them the
benefit Of doubt.

NOT All nan.

As stated in these columns before
the Reyeille is not in sympathy with
the Ku Klux Klan, but it seems that
the order stands for some mighty good
things, and We believe in the old say
ing, "give the devil his due.
At big gathering Of the order at
birmingham recently, the imperial
wizard, or high muck muck, gave
this as one Of the cardinal principles
Of the order.
A call back to the womanhood
OF the past is needed. An insid-
ious attack on the sanctity Of the
home has been made by the mod
ernists-an attack upon the bull
wark about which the real AM
erica was built"
II the Ku Klux accomplishes this.
our hats are off 70 it. No matter
how Objectionable the name, the
weird incantations, and danger Of
cloaking lawlessness, it will have done
a thing which all of the writing and
talking of the leading thinkers Of the
country have failed to do. Let us
hope that this will be the one thing
uppermost in the minds Of the leaders
until the order runs its course.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE IN.
CREASING.

There seems to be general trend
all over the United States back to the
church. For years past the churches
have suffered because Of lack Of In.
terest among their members as well
az the general public At the Sunday
services; but this lethargy appears to
have given way to an awakening
which may mean Americas return "a
the things which made il great.
The Port Gibson churches have
caught the spirit, and ali q them
show a remarkable Increase in atten.
dance and attention to the good ser.
mons which are being preached here
Whether this increased interest ex,
tends 70 the rural districts we are I'm.
able to learn.
This return TO worship is indeed en-.
eouraging. Naturally there will be
speculation about the cause o. causes
which produced Il. We are under the
impression that the thing which has
had most to do with Il has been the

refined or civilized community. Our
representatives in the States should
look into these matters, and if we
haven't already laws governing such
immoral photo plays, no time should
be lost in passing such with most
severe penalty attached. Something
should be done in a moral way to
correct this wave Of crime which
seems to be rolling from country to

PRETTY GOOD pLATFORM.

Miss Belle Kearney, who win con.

form:
II am Democrat; am oppos-
ed to factional politics. ] stand
for education, law enforcement,
restricted immigration, child well
fare, protective legislation for
women IN industry, ownership Of
homes, public health and social
morality, economy IN government,

ti0n, q League Of Nations clearly
safeguarding Americas inter-
ests."
II would be impossible to get more
in one sentence than is embrdced in
the above; and il must be admitted BY
friend and Zoe that on the whole that
is an excellent platform.
Many papers have been inclined to
jest about Miss Kearney's entrance
into politics; but with the platform
and the zeal with which that lady goes
after things, she might be the sur
prise Of late day politics. A whole
lot 81 voters want things done, and
they don't care whether the things
are done by q man or a woman. They
know also that women have a way Of
doing things yet unknown TO the ay-
erage man, and this is going to make
Mississippi's first female senatorial
candidate popular with the voters.

THE MEETING MONDAY.

Il will be remembered that last
week the Reveille contained call,
signed "Tax-Payor", for a meeting Of
taxpayers to be held at the court
house next Monday. Already men
have expressed a determination to be
present, two having come from con.
siderable distance on the FIRST Of the
month, mistaking the time for that
date.
The Reveille is not informed Of the
plans Of those most interested. but
we cannot refrain from suggesting
caution Of speech when the tax x-paying
assemble. The conditions which
brought about high taxes were not
brought about by any one man. nor
yet by any body Of men, and a meet
ing Of this kind can easily become 4
hcadIess nothing.
There should be some sensible suc-
gestions, made calmly and deliberate
iy and advice, thought out in advance.
which might be helpful to those who
have the burdens Of the affairs Of The
county on their shoulders. In other
words, It appears to us that the meet
ing should resolve itself into a get-to.
gether meeting and the business Of
the county discussed in a Bspassion-
ate manner
In this way good may be accom-
phshedi but we are extremely .a!;:;;::A.,s- a;:;::A,ss
ful whether any other method Of deal
ing with the situation would do more
than further complicate matters.
We offer this as suggestion, and
we believe it win appeal to sensible
men.

following;
Here, in a nutshell, are some Of
the more pointed observations on
the effect prohibition has had On
the life Of New Orleans:
Building Contractors - En-
ployes more efficient and depend
able; result has been greater con-
tentment rather than unrest.
HOtels-~Iess trouble with
guests, employees more efficient:
revenues dropped with the elm
ination Of the bar, but are being
made up from other sources;
tourist business hurt.
Restaurants Luncheon bust.
ness has increased, but dinner
parties and night suppers drop
ped of; people eating faster and
are harder TO please; financial
loss material.
Churches---More men attending
church; collections larger; needy
families fewer.
Banks--Savings in New Or
leans increased si0,000,000 or 80
per cent last year, but prohibition
is held only a contributory, not
the sole cause.
Charity Organizations No par
tieular moral effect, but number
Of homeless and Hangers on re-
duced.
Thcaters Attendance incroas-
ed 80 per cent; crowds more or
derly.
Real Estate operators-Bene-
fetal impetus given real estate
market; more home owners; sa-
looms now occupied by other bus
inesses yielding higher rents
W0men's Organizations-
ter home life; many dishes for
which New Orleans is famous
threatened, however.
Juvenile Court--Fewbr needy
families; less domestic strife;
fewer boys IN n9ol rooms; alimony
payments more regular; fewer
parents before courts,
