ruling his wife u obsolete and should have no part
in the marriage service
These seeminy diverse tendencies are really
pointing in the direction, and heading for that
objective for which women have fought for the past
half century and more
The English courts put me burden upon trades
men TO find out whether buying foi

privileges which came with ancient legal disabilities
That will make the who sell goods more wary
and wives more independent when they know that
they must face the result OF their own acts. They
are no longer children or wards.
It would be interesting know the origin OF that
word obey in any ceremony and to trace its sug-
gestion to that fertile brain. probable feminine

turn for special favors.
The modern women wants neither favor nor IS she

FIT TO CENSOR.

A magazine writer. commenting what hap
pening the movies. says that censors are never
htted their Jobs.
That is the trouble with all sumptuary legislation
which seeks to measure the morals the standards,
the tastes Of all people by a rule which is fixed by
only a few people
The enforcement Of laws must be placed in
human hands and the human mind. fortunately,
does not run in grooves but has that multitude of
viewpoints which creates the necessary conflict
arouse new aims and ambitions
The movie has been condemned from many
sources and some OF the criticism Is so palpaby
well founded that few communities willing that
the who control that industry should have
disputed sway over the sort of things they show.
To find fit censors, aside from POLITICAL consdera-
tons has been the impossible Job because censors,
given power. cannot refuse inject their ideas
OF good taste into what should be a matter solely
of morals
Some day there will be a real censorship OF the
movies the censorship Of educated and moral
rubnc which viii condemn by its refusal patronize
eny film which shocks its ideas OF virtue and which
openly panders 20 vice and viciousness.
The censors who alone are At TO pass upon any
public enterprise is a board composed of all the
people, led by an aroused conscience and edu-
Gated taste into wise judgments.

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

The rerort of Emma Goldman ca conditions in
Russia should be classed as expert testimony. and
Emma sends a sad and distressing aicture OF the
present government.
Deported from this country for preaching the doc
trnes on which the empire Of Lenine and Trotzky
IS founded, she expected to ind industrial and
social heaven in the land Of her birth
from that land because OF
her protests against the oppression Of children and
o women. Now story from the
safety Of Sweden
OF the many characters who have held the notice
OF the public. Emma Goldman stands out the
queerest Of complex characters
She prided herself that she was an anarchist and
for years was known as high priestsss
Lodged in a penitentiary for war utterances she
revolutionized the prison from a place
where hopeless women were sent out broken and
degraded into a place where they helped md
aided Ohcals OF the state privately gave her credit
for reform which they had been unable to effect.
Preaching a doctrine of death to kings she had
an intellectual side that made her the much sought
lecturer the drama before the audiences COM
posed of college professors and teachers.
Associating with the reddest Of reds, she earned
her living from the most conservative forces of
America by telling them what they wished 20 know
Of literature and of languages.
Her experiences in Russia. the land which had
adopted every measure which she advocated have
sent her from that land denouncing II as the most
oppressed of all peoples.
She PUTS the results of her observations this
most indictment of the regime more severe
than any any words she ever used against republics
or democracies.
During my two years 'stay in Russia I visited
many institutions, but I met very few happy chill
dren In all time I heard a really hearty child's
laugh only once in ArchangeL On the whole, most
children in Bolshevk institutions impressed
colorless and stereotyped vertable children of
phan asyums.
The Russian revolution s a radical social and
economic change meant to overthrow capitalism and
establish communism must be declared failure"
Those who cling to the belief that Russia Will
remain upon its present basis for any extended
Teriod Will find her observations Illuminating. for
she knows.
Il may last for a few years but the things she
saw and felt and found are such to make certain
that revolt from the present sovets into democracy

Pineville Kiwanians at their reg

issue, which, if carried thru, will ap-

be filled in the county court next

The matter was referred to the

HOW ABOUT 1T, BOYS?

A gentleman in the country has
written us that there Is shortly to
be bootleggers and moonshiners
conference. The gentleman mention
ed is somewhat of a wag but why
not have such a conference We do
not doubt that any of our ministers
will be glad to open 1t with prayer
If the conference is to deal with do
ing away with the business. What
beautiful solution of our excessive
court activities it would be, wiping
away about ninety per cent of the
cases that now are entered on the
docket.
Most of the men who are engaged
in the business do not realize the
harm they are doing or they would
not handle the stuff If they only
could have presented to them on the
screen the tragedies, horrors and
suffering that are caused by moon
shine and in which they are taking
a hand, they would shrink back in
horror.
Nevertheless, they are making
such a picture on the eternal screen
and may one day be forced to look
on while it is unrolled for them to
see. We cannot get away from our
acts nor their consequences. They
are more indelible than the strong
est ink since they are scared into
the souls of the sinner and victim
alike. If it is not possible to hold
a conference of bootleggers and
moonshiners with prayer by the min
listers. then why not individual con-
ferences with personal prayer?

.INIC WORK IN
JACKSON AND CLAY COUNTIES

Miss Linda Neville was here Satur
day enroute from Mckee, Jackson
County, where the United States
Public Health Service held a won
derful trachoma clinic. So much Of
this trouble was found that the peo-
pie are determined to stamp It out.
over forty operations we're done and
in six weeks there will be another
Inspection. The County Judge and
County Medical officer are working
shoulder to shoulder toward the well
fare OF the children.
In connection with this work 1t is
interesting to note that Judge Bing-
ham, Of the Courier-Journal, has of
fered a prize of five thousand dol
lars to the mountain county that
makes the greatest improvement In
educational. recreational, health,
play and good roads movement in
the next eighteen months. Eight
counties have entered the contest to
date.
Miss Neville, who represents the
Red Cross gave us the information
that beginning last Monday for four
days Drs. Clarence DeWeese and
George Wilson, specialists of Lex
sington, and Misses Hattie Brewer,
Elizabeth Brown and Mae Cornell
son, three registered nurses, would
hold a clinic at Big Creek, Clay
County. seventeen miles from Gar
rard. The clinic is for the treat
ment of eye, ear, nose and throat
troubles, adenoids and diseased ton
sils to receive special attention. The
Red Cross is not putting on this
clinic but is lending Miss Neville's
services while the actual expenses
are paid out of the Mountain Fund
raised by Miss Neville. All neces-
sary paraphenalia such as ether, etc.
was sent ahead to Big Greek. The
doctors and nurses passed thru Hell
drick Sunday and expected to be in
Big Creek Sunday night.
The first week of October there
will be a Federal trachoma clinic In
Manchester.
The work at Big Creek is due to
the interest and efforts of DR.. c. B.
Marcum, of Big Springs.
