They can clean up their back yards,

more than it is intended to accommo-

anti-cigaret bill last Thursday even
ing. The intention was to dispose of
II in short order but few supporters
of the bill wanted to air their views
and two or three made short talks
against it. The bill was killed by Il
vote of about 2 to /. If there was
any public sentiment in favor of such
a bill different story might be old
but most of the members were con-
WINGED that the enactment of such a
law would be adding only so much
dead timber to The statutes.

After spending almost an entire
day talking about the movie bill the
senate finally decided to lay it over
until 9 o'clock Monday before taking
further action. The committee report
ed out the house bill for discussion.
Senator Beebe proposed amendments
which, practically, amounted to new
bill. The substitute bill does not pro-
vide for board of censorship. It
specifies what pictures may not be
shown and intends that it shall be en-
forced the same as other laws are
enforced. 1t also provides for a
$1,000 deposit which will be forfeited
in case of violation of the law. The
big dispute was over the adoption Of
the substitute. The vote was a tic.
At the time this is written it is said
that two or more senator's VINO voted
for the house bill are about to change
their minds and that it will be killed.

pictures that may not be shown and
requires each exhibitor and distribu-
tor to deposit $1,000 with the state
treasurer. If he is convicted of vio-
lating the law he forfeits the money.
If not, he may get his money back
in thirty days after he sells out or
quits business but it must remain on
deposit as long as he in business.

2 o'clock on all bills yet in the hands
of the sitting committee II were left
out in the cold. Among them is the
press association bill requiring the
publication of the personal tax roll
and the Green bill regarding political
advertising. Newspaper men and
printers will not object to the killing
Of the latter. A number of other
good bills were killed. Only sevens
bills were reported out by the sifters.
After a four hour debate the house
committee Of the whole advanced the
language bill to third reading. The
vote was Go to 81. The chief feature
of the debate was the strong stand
taken for the bill by DR.. Hoffmeister,
who was born, reared and educated in
Germany. He says most Americans
Of German birth want such law.
Some strong statements were made
in the course Of the debate which
could not have been enjoyed very much
by those who have been lobbying for
the passage Of the bill.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York. May 2O.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
with no general departure from
the policy of restricted buying a
full reflection of the factors max
ing for better business is still lack
ing. Confidence in the future, al
though increasing, does not lead to
vigorous action, most interests
awaiting an extension of the indus
trial readjustments and a further
lessening of price uncertainty. The
move toward more settled markets
is well defined in some channels
where more than a year of della
ton has brought relatively low
prices, but stability is yet to be
attained in various quarters. and
important commitments are being
deferred wherever possible. De-
spite the various unsatisfactory
features, however, there is more
basis for encouragement in the
general outlook.
The easing of monetary tension
disclosed by the reduction of dis
count rates at several leading CEN
ters marks a constructive develop
ment and a modification of the
depression in foreign exchange
rates is also helpful. Weekly bank
clearings, $6,4S9, $4,000.

LEARNING HOW TO SAY mo"

America is learning how to say mo" when a
foreign nation asks it to NEEDLE in a European
tangle.
The lesson may be a bit difficult for us, in
view of the practical disuse into which let fall
this helpful little word for the last eight years.
Secretary Hughes however has hurled loud,
rotund mo" to Poland's request that the United
States through its representatives in the allied
councils exert it's influence in favor of Polish
claims to certain districts in Silesia.
The seeretary's reply should become a model
for this country to follow in similar controversies
in the future.
Says Mr.. Hughes: Z
"In reply 1 have the honor to inform you
that, in my opinion the settlement of such
boundary disputes is a matter of European
3 Germ, in which with the traditional policy of
the United States this government should not
become involved. The attitude of the govern
ment is clearly understood by its representa-
lives in Europe who will, therefore, far
at present may be seen, take part in the
discussions concerning Upper Silesia and will
express opinion to the settlement"

ANOTHER STACKER LIST.

The Journal has so far refrained from publish
ing the Stacker" lists which the war department
is issuing Until there is greater accuracy in them,
until they become Stacker" instead of ISLANDER
lists, will continue to toss them into the waste
basket
There is a Stacker list which would interest
us, however. That is the list which would be made
up of the names Of men and women on the reg
istfation books who failed to vote Friday in the
special recall and charter amendment election.
That would be a list deserving of all the public
ity it could receive, No would presume to
doubt the importance of the election. No one
could claim to lack adequate understanding of
the issues. Much said and much written and
in addition, both committees stood ready to explain
the questions involved to individuals.
1t would be worth while to know who has the
right to vote, enjoys the privileges of citizenship
owes allegiance to the flag and yet does not recog
nize that these rights and privileges involve an
obligation of sufficient weight to induce him her
to exercise that function through which alone the
will of the people may be expressed.
Some people have excused their failure to vote
in national and state elections on the supposed
ground that at makes no difference whether the
republicans or democrats get in. Both will be ex-
travagant" Such attempted explanation would
not apply to those who were idle Friday
whole of public policy was to be charted.
Publishing few lists of election slacBers might
serve a purpose. 1t might mean that the will of
the majority, not the win of the voting majority,
would eventually be expressed.
