United States will not spend their money in the sup
port Of any sort of enterprise which they believe Is
tainted with immortality, and behind their advertising
the circus men, notwithstanding their occasional re-
sort to cheap tricks. have kept the substance Of de-
cency in the entertainments they have offered
The moving-pieture men may well take q leaf out
of the experience Of the circus men. This remark does
not refer to the exhibitor who does the best he can with
the films that he can get. but to the big producers in
whose hands lies the control Of the industry. A strong
was begun not long ago o clean up the
films, and that is good as far as it goes, but the faes
that the industry needs cleaning is becoming more
and more apparent.
1.-The star system in motion-pieture business is one
of the factors which have contributed to the present
bad conditions. 1t has brought enormous rewards to
a few who frequently rave not known what to do with
their money, and it has set before many ambitious
girls the lure of a prize that is entirely too tempting
for their own good. Incidental to this discussion, it
has operated against the production Of pictures of the
highest artistic merit because everything has been sac
rifced TO st4rdom-
There are hundreds of millions of dollars perma-
nently invested in motion-picture enterprises, and the
movies cater to a larger public Of amusement seek
ers than any other business. 1t is time that the men
most deeply interested and most responsible began TO
think about. putting an end to all Of the conditions
which threaten to turn public support away from their
business and irretrievably drag it into the dirt"

paused in Chicago just long enough the other day to
deliver m opinion concerning conditions in general
and to aim a barbed shaft at the Republican party. 1t
is evident that Mr.. McAdoo believes the Republican
administration is not making good, that the return to
normally has not been as rapid as it should have been,
to the regime of President Harding.
There is, however, another side to the story and
of this Mr.. McAdoo did not speak. He forgot to men,
ton that the period of hard times, of business depres-
sion, set in long before President Wilson left the
White House and even while Mr.. McAdoo himself held
the treasury portfolio. He was discreetly silent with
regard to his own administration of the railroads, for
instance, an experience which came near paralyzing
the commerce of the nation. Perhaps no administra-
tion was ever called upon to assume such responsible
tiles and to untangle such . muddle as has that headed
by President Harding, and the most biased partisan
cannot in fairness deny that the policies of Mr.. Nc
Adoo and others of the Democratic regime are at least
in part responsible.
There would have been no need for such drastic
retrenchment in government expenditure had Mr.. Nc
Adoos party not been wildly extravagant- Freight
rates would not have had to be raised If Mr.. McAdoo,
equipment of the roads was kept up to standard and
the properties returned to their owners in as good con-
ditior as when placed under government control. It
would have been in far better taste had Mr.. McAdoo
been less critical of his political opponents and instead
offered a constructive suggestion for the benefit Of
from the dislocation of business"

THE BEST BABY.

The theories of the better babies promoters and en-
thusiasts, were completely upset when a baby in the
most c~ongested district in the city of New York where
sanitation and facilities to guard the health of in
fants were the worst, was found to be not only a per-
feet specimen but the healthiest baby in the entire
city.
The district from which the baby came was from
Avenue A to Avenue d and from Third to Ninth street,
on the East Side, comprising 1878 inhabitants. The
mortality rate in this district is ga compared with
1898 for the city, while infant mortality is 81 COM
pared with S5 for the city.
The people of the particular section mentioned are
largely foreign, used to paternalistic control under
governments where they formerly lived. Thoroughly
used to health regulations and familiar with the rules
of health and sanitation.
The answer is plain and the figures carry the ex-
plantation.

MUST EXERCISE VIGILANCE.

while the final report Of the international Commits
sion has not yet been filed, the engineers report on
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project has
been in hand some considerable time assuring the en-
tire feasibility of the plan besides the repayment of
the cost within a reasonable time out of water power
developed by the project
The friends of the undertaking in the beginning
will be in the middle west and the west. They will
have no easy task when they introduce their bill in
congress for opposed they will find New York and
New England and such influence as these sections can
command. New York's interest is purely selfish. She
sees in the construction of the project the abandon
ment of her Erie canal upon which she has expended
useless millions and the decline of the port of New
York from first position in the division of incoming
and outgoing freight with Chicago and other lake
ports nearer points of origin and consumption.
More than a third of the states of the union are vi
tally Interested in the st. Lawrence project and the
interests of these states will have to be alert if they
hope to realize their ambitions.

STAMP 1T OUT.

There is a widespread feeling in the country that
the Ku klux Khan is an un-American institution and
should be abolished; and a determined effort in many
sections is under way to drive the organization out
of communities where it has fourished and where
citizens have suffered outrages contrary to the laws
OF the land. ~ ~ i
If a secret society is to set itself up to be the judge,
jury and exocutioner, in local cases where citizens are
alleged to have offended, then the courts may as well
step down and deliver over to these self appointed
regulators of community morals, the machinery for
enforcing the laws.
Whatever his %ofense. every American citizen is
guaranteed a fair and impartial trial. This he must
receive, and the law must take its course, or the
safety of the Immunity is endangered.
The idea of Il secret society masquerading in sheets
and pillow casss going about visiting punishment upon
citizens who happen to be unpopular with the men,
bers is preposterous. 1t is high time state authority
~interfered and put an end to the hilarity of this or
ganization.

CLEAN UP THE MOVIES.

There is still competition in the production of NOV
ing picture films and local picture houses have a wide
variety of selection. They alone are responsible for
the kind and quality of pictures presented to their
patrons. Audiences have been highly educated rs to
quality of photography and they are no longer accept
ing the trash many theater managers place before
them. Neither will they continue to patronize a
house that permits the wrong kind of pictures. If
the manager does not study the demands of his pa
irons and fulfill them he is foolish and if he is not care
full to supply clean pictures he deserves to lose out.
The Detroit Free Press reads a sensible lecture to
the producers well worth their attention:
"P. T. Barnum was a great advertiser who knew
the show business and all his life he stressed the
idea that his was a great moral show with the en-
phasis on the word moral He did that because he
knew that the great mass Of decent people in the

cult, as the horsemen would say, has
been arranged. On August s. there
will be an open tourney at Bar Har-

at the Portland Country club and
August 20 the Maine championships
are billed for the Squirrel Island
court Owing to the facilities for
travel, it would be a little better to
have the championships in Portland,
and another season, this city should
draw the event, as it has gone to
Squirrel for two seasons including
this one.
