Vicious Circle
That StagnateS
Onr Prosperity
BY NATHAN Q. BRIGGS.

This vicious circle business gets on
the nerves. Consider the railway
mess. Congress enacts the Esh-
Cum Minis law 10 recognizes the
high cost OF living( which is all 1t
has done about IL in the two useless
years Of its Hfe) and provides for
an increase OF wages 20 the railroad
men and 8 per cent profit 10 the
railroad owners
The railroads say that a billion
and a half dollars year IN in
creasd rates Will produce tho neces-
sary revenue. SO the merchants and
manufacturers and farmers and con-
sumers Of the country have a billion
and a half dollars added 20 their
railroad bill-a little added % every
thine we eat and everything We
wear
The public goes on "a consumers
strike and curtails buying. Business,
seeking 10 recover from the war
spree, staggers under the new blow.
passes the higher freight rates on 10
the consumer and begins 20 cancel
orders and industry lags. That
means less freight TO be hauled and
fewer passengers
That il is argued, means higher
freight rates.
That must mean higher prices.
That must mean still less buying.
That must mean still less freight
That must mean still higher
freight rates
And you have gone twice around
the vicious circle.
So the railroads demand an aver
agc cut of about $500 year in the
wages Of about a million employees
who are not inside the four big
brotherhoods. This might break the
vicious circle. but does anybody Sc
riOusly believe tat "a million yard
and shop employees can stand an av-
erage cut of $40 yeek? They
can't because the high-cost- living
is still in our midst. And one of its
present ingredients is the bill that
is paid to the railroads.
More than that. the high freight
rates have resulted i'm fewer goods
being moved Co satisfy demand.
That means high prices Apples
potatoes and other produce goes 10
waste instead Of TO market. And
that means higher prices

the treatment given to the subject said Dr. Beard, earnestly.
 'Other evils are the foul air in many picture halls, due to lack of proper ventilation; the waste of time and money, particularly by children shows; the damage apt to be done to eyesight by prolonged looking at moving pictures unrelieved by still ones, and the fiabby intellectual qual- ity cultivated by seeing things with out the thinking that is stimulated by the legitimate drama, lecture and sermon This last danger is adVan- tageously countered when an address, directed chiefly to the reason. pre- cedes or follows the appeal to the eye.
 Many good people are still dull to the immense possibilities in the use of motion pictures in the church, dom compete with the theatre shows, because the latter trade so largely in the kind of sensationalism which. is the only thing that attracts the low grade mind.
 ''But a, lot of other people, wheth- CT highly educated or not, can be reached effectively and helped by the instruction, the inspiration and the wholesome humor of the finer pie tures," he continues. At present productions that are distinctly Bibli- cal are, with rare exceptions, pretty crudely done; but there is an increas- ing supply of essentially religious and morally uplifting films that illustrate the highest themes and, at the same lime, are possessed of dramatic move ment and human interest There is absolutely no valid reason why the church and it's ministry should not appeal to the eye as well as to the ear- Both together are apt to be
