DOUGLAS M'LEAN AND DORIS MAY IN "ROOKIES RETURN"

Douglas Mclean and Doris May are here again in "The Rockies Return at the Strand.
 The Rockies Return" is comedy written for the stars who are featured
 Doris gives the romantic interest but the comedy is certainly ascribabie to Douglas. In this picture he is a most likab1e man and wins the sym pathy of the audience. His usual grimaces, antics, escapades and gen. eral display of unbounded nerve ano confidence are two-fold in this pro- duction.
 Mclean is cast as the returned rookie. When he is first seen. he i' coming. over from France playing al kinds of mischievous jokes on the other rockies. Right here is where ht begins to wind his way into the heart: of the audience. Then he gets home resolved to make d living. He gets tht job of selling books entitled, Ter Thousand Things That You Ought tt Know" That begins the fun and i keeps right on.

For Good of
 the Community

AA/ Il are the clClZonS or BTHllngndm W optimistic? Because they are not deaf, dumb and blind; because they have that whereof to be optimistic.
 Every big customer, who comes this way, expresses his delight over the healthy y-mindedness which he finds down here. Theodore Steinway, of the piano firm of that name, said:
 The south is a revelation to New
 Workers. It's progress has been
 wonderful in the past few years and
 the optimism which is now being ex-
 pressed by the southern business
 men is more than encouraging
 There is lot of difference between dreamer and optimist. A dreamer con- jures something out of nOthings. The optimist is he who looks at the other side of the shield before he decides that it is all black.
 The knight who declared the shield all black was pessimist. The knight who said it was all white lacked judgment The optimist would have seen both sides, but he would not have allowed the black to depress him more than the white ir- spired him.
 The optimist is not trying to reproduce heaven on earth, but he is trying to make earth as near like heaven as possible and, in the effort, some of that semblance is brought about.
 Lord knows, the optinists are needed. Every day or so several hoarse voices call up the newspaper offices and want to know if the "T. c. I. is closed down. z This does not happen once week, but several times during the week. The T. c. l. has not departed from normal operations and there is no indication that it is going to do so The wonder is where do these pessi- mists get their melancholy dope.
 Different "unknowns" have been try ing to shut down the active stack of the Woodward Iron company for more than a week That stack was still making iron yesterday and the plant management said it was scheduled for indefinite operation. They had all the Sloss-Sheffield stacks shut down. One of them is making pig iron in Birmingham today.
 Sometimes out at the big works of the TIC. I. a large squad of men is laid off of one piece of work, the work having been completed. Rumor immediately has 1t that "the T. c. 1. has let out 3,OOO men,. Investigation shows that the men let out of one completed job in one department today, are hired for another job in an other department on the next day.
 The job of the optimist is to find out the truth about these things and let Birming- ham people know the truth. That is all that is necessary because the truth about Birmingham is always good enough to pass about freely.
 Suppose the average Birmingham citi- zen had kept track only of the furnaces that have temporarily suspended opera tions of the plants that have not yet re- sumed, of the cotton that is held back and kept out of the arteries of trade and of the absence of new business coming to num- bers of factories? Would he be conn petent to pass judgment on the basic con ditions of the district? To do so, he should also follow the tremendous influx of new money going into new corporate enter prises and into expansion of old and proven ones, to the spreading out of sue cessful business, to vast preparation for a bigger and greater future that is going on

consideration to the question of gov
eminent cost as they do to ordinary
living costs, there would be less COM
paint about taxes.
The anti-saloon league opened its
statewide campaign in Madison for
law enforcement with series of af-
ternoon. meetings, and big mass
meeting in the University gymnasium
in the evening. The medical beer or
der issued from Washington has stir
red much feeling that will add inten-
sity to the campaign. The league con-
siders that this order is a virtual an
nullment of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and OF the Volstead law and will
fight to the limit.
An interesting question has arisen
concerning money for the operation
of the Teachers Retirement Fund.
TIL Legislature of 1921 in passing the
law to reorganize the teachers PEN
sion fund and place it on sound ac-
tuarial basis appropriated $4,000 per
year for the expenses of the office.
This sum it appears is very much be-
low what is needed, and the board In
charge of the fund applied for an en-
Urgency appropriation to the Cover
nor, the Secretary of State and the
State Treasurer, the law requiring
these three officials to pass upon each
emergency application. The Governor
and the Secretary of the State are
willing to approve the application
but the State Treasurer is not, he
claiming the board should get a'ong
with what the Legislature aprropriat-
ed for operating expenses. Now The
question arises whether two ont Of
the three officials. that is whether the
approval of application for an emer-
gency appropriation by the Governor
and the Secretary of State is suffi-
cient without Mr.. Johnson's sigma
ture.
1t is rather unfortunate in view of
the severe criticism made of emer
gency approximations by the Governor
in his special message to the Legisla-
ture last winter, that it should be
found necessary so soon after the adj
iournment of the Legislature to apply
for such an appropriation. In conf
munication to the Governor State
Treasurer johnson suggests the need
of ruling by the Attorney Genera
or by the Court as to the constitutions
atty of the new law. He also objects
to the prosposed expenditures of the
board, as contemplated in the large

FROM THE STATE CAPITOL


We do not hear as much these days
as we heard twenty-five years ago in
dispraise of paternal government.
There is a reason for this. State gov
eminent, to say nothing of the ten
denotes of the Federal government,
is growing more paternalistic every
year, and to oppose paternalism would
mean opposition to most of the gov
ernmental functions we all recognize
as necessary. There is no doubt that
when a state authority forbids the
pollution of any given stream, it is
acting in a paternalistic way. The
people generally have come to see
that as society becomes more complex
the state must assume more authority.
/ am reminded of this tendency of
state government by the functioning
of the State Board of Health, referred
to further along. The truth is that
if society is to pogress along normal
lines the state must more and more
undertake new functions.
These new functions undertaken
solely because experience proves them
to be necessary for the public welfare,
are really what are meant by those
who declaim against the creation of
boards and commissions. Laws are
not self-enforcing. and if a measure
deeply important to the public is en-
acted the chances are a board or COM
mission specially empowered to en-.
force it will be needed. How worlf
all our fine pure food laws be en-
forced if it We're not for Dairy and
Food Commission? What state would
be in if there were not an active eff
ficient body in existence to enforce
our public health laws:
All of this harks back again to the
question of increasing taxes. Neither
local nor state law enforcing bodies
can orerate without expense: and as
the state assumes new functions the
cost of government will increase. If
people generally could give the same

themselves but attempt to bias others.
