CEN. PERSH|NC CHOSEN CHIEF !. OF ARMY STAFF
lBy the Associated Pressl


 Washington, May 13.-Selection of General John J. Pershing as chief of staff, succeeding Major General Pey- ton C. Marsh, was announced today by Secretary of War Weeks.
 General Pershing will assume his duties as chief of staff on July l. He will also retain his duties as chief of the war staff now being organized.
 General Pershing's appointment sets at rest controversy which has stirred national politics and the army since the inauguration of President Harding and relieves a situation without coun- terpart in army history. General Marsh, chief of artillery under Persh- ing in France, was recalled in 1918 by Mir. Wilson and made chief of staff, succeeding General Tasker H. Bliss, who was assigned to the allied high command. It became certain that General Marsh as a Democrat would not be retained by President Hard ing.
 With the return of Pershing from Frnce, the army faced the situation of having him as it's highest ranking officer, but still subordinate in au- thority to General Marsh or his sue cessor. The situation was made worse by the supposed unfriendly feeling which had developed between Persh- ing and Marsh.
 Still another factor was injected when it became rumored that Orig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards. removed by General Pershing as commander of the New England division, was the choice of the Republicans for chief of staff The admitted hostility be- tween Pershing and Edwards would also have added complications. General Pershing as chief of staff will be the titular and actual chief head of the army. As chief of the war staff, he will direct the prepara tions Ky which the army will be kept mobile on footing for action in emer- gency.

OverzealOus Guardians.
Cincinnati Enquirer


If the efforts of overzeaous would-be guardians
of the public morals to succeed in their fullness
this land of America will be morally mani
cured and aureoled that od-fashioned normal folk
will be glad to die
Every Legislature is cluttered with bills designed
to assist to condition of unnatural and uncom-
Portable Righteousness. Not only to be looked
after in the matters Of food and drink, a prelude
to enforced Sabbath observance. but in week
day comings in and goings out to be made
secure from the assaults of the devil his nun
erous capable assistants.
Among the latest horrendous and demoralizng
influences from which to be saved" by the
disciples of reforms is the movie show.
Indiana, for instance, has been attempting to
have passed drastic regulation censorship bill which,
if it became law would make the movies about as
attractive od-fasioned church fair
This bill-and the same sort is being put in evil
dence in number of states-looks to the creation of
new boards which would have the power to insult
the public Intelligence by the appointment of Depu-
ties with the authority of Consables who could
fees to suit themselves, milk the public treasury of
multiplying appropriations, could pass picture
making rules and regulations that doubtless would
prove to be weird their unhealthy imaginatons
or the equality of their personal interest could make
them
The public has had about all the freak reform
legislation that it is going to stand. These wild
idea folk themselves in need of a censorship
which Will convince them that and gen
orally are not lacking in virtue and decency and
that their resistance to harmful influences requires
no help from salaried snoops and localized mentors
in the matter of picture shows or anything else.
The principle of censorship is more popular
IN America than in Russia and the public will insist
upon its right to decide as to what is and what i:
not good in the movie world.
The last straw the back overstrained for
bearance is to be found in the Indiana bill which
would censor all movie advertising

AN ILLUSTRATION.

An illustration of the tendency of the times to
procure efficient to serve the public in official
positions that require technical knowledge, ire
specve of pditcs residence, afforded long
since when the State Pennsylvania selected cti-
zen of the State of New York to be superintendent
of Public Instruct iona position comparing with that
of Commissioner of Education in Alaska That did
mean that the superintendent OF Public Instruc-
ton of the State Pennsylvania any the less
a servant of, the people of Pennsylvania than he
would 'have been had he been citizen of Penn
syvana and elected tothe office by the voters of that
State He became their servant because he re
sponsibe to them for his stewardship
When man is selected to fill technical posi-
tion by the Governor some other appointing power
he be removed, if he fails to make good. If an
incompetent should be elected to such a posi-
ton by the voters for stated term of years the
public service must suffer until his term of office
shall have run its And further, usually the
best qualified to in technical positions
not clever politicians. They are who have been
too busy with their professions the art of
winning votes. 80 -rs-''' a+t
1t would be just as reasonable to require the
voters of rthe municipalities in Alaska to elect the
City School Superin endents and teaching stats as
to elect the Territorial Commissioner of Education.

Commissioner of Education. However, the majorty

of elective members The hold-over Senators, elected
by the people of the separate Divisions and the
Governor, constitute Board of Education The
