ed States government, about hav-
ing anything to do with the League
Many communications from the
League headquarters therefore
went unanswered, or obtained an
swers only by roundabout ways. 1t
seems to have been finally decided
at Washington that this method
was unnecessarily awkward and
discourteous-tha there was no
good reason why the United States,
as an independent power, could not
correspond directly with the League
on the same basis that it CORE
spends With the nations the League
speaks for This method tends to
better feeling, and less foreign COM
pHcation rather than more.

POLICE AND LIQUOR.

Tie superintendent Of police IN
Chicago says he ia convinced that
SO per cent Of the Chicago police
are involved in illegal sales and
transportation Of liquor.
Whether exaggerated or not, this
statement is striking indication
of the difficulties now being met
with in the enforcement Of pro-
hibition laws in the United States.
Conditions approximating that al
legged to exist in Chicago have been
found or suspected in many other
cities. There is no question that
some of the boldest violators Of the
law are among those officially
charged with the duty Of enforcing
it. When such men laugh at the
law. what else can be expected Of
private citizens? And with what
face can such guilty representatives
Of public authority prosecute others
for what they are doing them
selves?
To eliminate the official guilt or
Indifference that exists in many To-
calities in regard to prohibition en-
forcenent is perhaps the biggest
task of all. 1t must be done, how
ever, if prohibition is to be made
effective as it was intended to be.
And in this task the good citizens
of every community owe it to them
selves and their country to help
stamp out such lawlessness.
It may be that the prohibition
laws are foolish or meddlesonle or
unfair, as many critics assert. But
that is no excuse for ignoring them.
If they are Objectionable, from the
standpoint of individual rights or
the public welfare, the thing to do
is rnan:festly to prove it by the pro-
cess of strict enforcement. When
everybody is given practical dem
onstration Of just what real pro-
hibition is and what it does, the
public will know how to deal with
the problem.

ROAD.BULDING ENCOURAGE
MENT.

Freight rates on sand. gravel,
crushed stone and paving brick
have been ordered reduced nearly
one-third by the Ohio public utili-
ties commission. This order will
restore the rates which prevailed
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission made the general raise
of 40 per cent in August, 1920.
The purpose is to facilitate road
building. 1ne commissions action,
should have that effect, saving the
people of Ohio a lot Of money on
road construction and giving them
great deal more mileage for the
::.oIey they spend.
It is unfortunate that this, ruling
applies to only one state, and only
50 road building materials shipped
within the state. The Interstate
Commerce Commission would do
well to make a. similar ruling for
the entire country. And any such
general ruling might well be ex-
tended to cover all the principal
materials used for constructing
houses and other buildings, as we'll
as roads. Such reduction must
come eventually, anyway, and this
is ,logical time to make it.

MOVIE HOUSES REVOLT.

Out of evil, good usually comes.
1t will certainly be SO with the re-
cent moving picture scandal. if the
Motion Picture Theater Owners Of
4 America persist in their declared
purpose. Aroused by the Arbuckle
: case and the hurtful effect it has
had on their business. this great
group Of niddlemen between the
producers and the patrons of the
lm-drana have issued public
statement in which they say:
80 esWe take the position, firmly and
utfqualiiedly. that we will refuse to
exhibit or permit to be exhibited
in eur theatrers, If attempted. any
Elm containing elements Of indie
cencye or. Objectionable matter Of
any kind whatever, or the exploit
ing Of any individual. eaveloped in
scandal.
No sooner has a great and
grave offense against the peace of
the people been committed than
the one so involved seeks to exploit
himself Or herself in the movies,
thus cashing in on his or her crime,
and be rewarded Nberally therefor.
Fhis industry is no haven of ref
use or asylum to harbor wrong
doers, nor Will it countenance or
cendone misdeeds or. offenses
against society and common decen-
cy. we propose to carry this pur-
pose into effect, irrespective Of any
contract we may have with any
producing Or distributing company
TO exhibi, their films. We are con-
fracting and paying for pictures
about which there are no indecent
elements and these only do we
want. In this connection we will
submit our case to the court OF
public opinion-our patrons-who,
after all, constitute the only power
Of review and approval thai We
recognize.
This is the decent and manly
thing to do. under the circum-
stances. 1t is also the paying thing,
as the theater owners themselves
recognize. The public has been SO
disgusted with recent revelations
concerning a considerable group of
film actors that there has been a
reaction against everything in . he
noviesadn any way reminiscent of
the san Francisco tragedy and the
reported Los Angeles orgies. There
has, IN fact. been reaction against
the whole moving picture business.

WASHINGTON AND GENEVA.

The United States government
has recognized the existence of the
League of Nations by opening dip
lomatic correspondence with it. In
one day recently Il notes reached
the League headquarters at Geneva,
all bearing the official seal Of Uncle
Sam and signed by Secretary
Hughes.
The League officials declare
themselves much gratified. If
Americans are not gratified, there is
at least no reason why any Of
them, no matter how much oppos-
ed to the League, should feel ag-
grieved The innovation seems to
have been induced both by com
mon diplomatic courtesy and good
business sense.
The League Of Nations is doing
business along various lines for
half Il hundred countries. The
United States government has di-
rect relations with the governments
o. all those countries, separately,
and never fails to deal with each
after the usual courteous manner
prescribed by international diplo-
matte usage There is no apparent
reason why it should do otherwise
with an organization representing
all of them and speaking in their
name.
T..ere was much hesitancy, not
unnatural, on the part Of the Unit
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1921-10-08

The only way to fight that reac-
ticn is to clean up the movies. The
theater owners are in position to
force such cleanup, and are TAX
ing the proper steps in refusing to
accept and show any indecent pic
lures. The public is with them.
May they hold to their good reso-
luton, not only for the sake of pub
lie decency but for the sake Of the
art they represent, which may
come far nearer realizing its big
possibilities when 1t has cut out the
smut and stopped exploiting vice
aad crime

BUYING DISARMAMENT.


The chairman Of the Committee
OF Forty-efg which took a prom
inent part in politics last year, has
written to President Harding max
ing this suggestion: That the rep
resentatives of the United States in
the armament conference offer to
cancel the Indebtedness Of England,
France and Italy to this country on
the condition that those powers dis
arm.
1t would be a bold thing to do,
in more ways than one. It hardly
needs to be pointed out that the
American representatives in that
conference will have no authority
TO make any such offer. except
tentatively. For authority the ad-
faSnistration would have to go to
congress, and even then such action
might be challenged. The money
due from the allies is owed to all
HE, people Of the United States, and
xaneellation of that huge debt is no
light matter.
StiaI. Il might be- done, if public
sentiment showed strong enough
Approval And 1t would probably
he worth the sacrifice, many times
over, il the bargain were strictly
carried out, and all the foreign
powers could be persuaded to dis
arm ana remain IN that reassuring
STATE.
It would take a far bigger gift.
though, than that $4,000, ,oo o,00o
OF SO that the allies owe us, to ac-
coElpfish any any such reform.
Great Britain may cut down her
pTogram for new warships, if
America ana Japan agree to do
the same, but she will not scrap her
navy altogether while her big, loose
empire exists and there is any
armed menace left in the world.
France would not give up her
army FOR any number Of billions,
as long as she fears Germany.
Neither would Italy, until her fear
and jealousy of Jugoslavia and
Greece disappear.
All that can reasonably be ex-
peetei at this time is curtailment
Of naval expenditures. The abo-
lition OF armament by sea and land
IS the ultiaate goal, which is to be
kept ever in mind, but whose at
tafnment Is still far off.
