ANOTHER sordid crime among the
. rowing picture performers is reported
from San Francisco, and FATTY" Ar
buckle, a popular idol in public life
but a lecherous, degenerate brute per-
sor lily, is in Jail to answer for the
terrible death Of young woman. Ar
buckle gave party" at his rooms in
San Francisco hotel, TO which we're in
vited some men and women prominent
in movie circles. There was drinking
and carousing and high old time
generally, and one episode of the affair
was the horrible treatment OF the
young woman which resulted in her
dreadful death. She accused Arbuckle
of the crime with her dying breath,
and ne has been arrested and jailed
as the details OF the degenerate AFFAIR
are being investigated
The immortality and RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
many Of the leading moving picture
actors and actresses is matter Of COM
mon knowledge, but this is about the
worst scandal that has yet become pub
lie. The people ought to taboo the
notorious men and women in this bust
ness, from Douglas Fairbanks and
Mary Pickford down to the lesser
lights, and insist upon decent pictures
by decent performers. Be it said to
the credit Of many moving picture pro-
prietors all over the country, they are
promptly and properly canceling con-
tracts showing Fatty Arbuckle pro-
ductions.

THE railroad officials continue to see
freight being carried by trucks and
passengers by automobiles in every
section of the country, but with singu-
lar stupidity they seem to take no
interest in regaining this business.
The executives apparently have no
ideas beyond appeals 10 the Inter
state Commerce Commission, body
which is as inefficient as the railroad
men themselves. The people very
properly refuse to pay the extortionate
l:es that are being demanded es-
pecially when they can have their
hauling done more quickly and efficient
ly and cheaply by other means-and
so the roads are going from bad to
worse while their managers lean
helplessly upon the government.
This country needs shake-up in
railroad Observation-Disclosures it badly.

THE REPUBLICAN TAX BILL.

signal for renewed fighting in both
the House and Senate. They have

satisfaction among Republicans. who
must accept responsibility for IL in
whatever form il may be finally pass
ed. No one can foretell how the
wrangle will end. After the sharp
lesson just received, the White House
should be cautious about suggesting
means for reaching n harmonious de-
cision. The Administrations tax pro-
gramme long ago disappeared from

has been relapse from the high note
with which the movement stprted. the

There is. however. another side TO
the question which is sure to find its

old fashioned folk who believe that
the business of the Church "a to make
Christians. to develop and cherish the
righteousness and moral strength Of its
members so that they Will be able tc
carry their Christian faith into thei'

world better by making and keeping
