ship Of Films.
Written Expressly for the International
News Service.
The motion.piCturc industry has
again been flung into the limelight
by the startling murder of William
ID. Taylor. u motion-piCture director
at Los Angeles.
With the thinly yelled armour
and tangled love plots behind this
murder and the recent Fatty Ar
buckle orgy and resultant salaCiOus
! trials of that comedian, public sen
timent is becoming aroused to the
need Of Federal supervision Of the
motion-pi picture industry and censor
ship of films.
The veil that has screened the
characters who furnish the scenes
depicted in films now being exhib-
tied daily TO millions of women and
children is being swept aside and
the character of the people who are
used to get millions Of dollars from
the people is being exposed. We
learn what sort of people are used
by the motion-picture magnates.
Free love, drunken orgies, plots
of envy and jealousy that lead to
deaths and murder and destruction

tertainment, education and recrea- |
ton for our growing generation,
the future citizens OF this republic. !
The situation points to official cen |
sorship and an urgently necessary |
precaution.
There is a growing sentiment |
throughout the country for Federal |
censorship. About half a dozen
States now have such laws and bills |
are pending in other States as well |
as one in Congress. 1t is against ,
this legislation, which would drive !
out of the film industries the char
acters which now fill the front pages
of our newspapers. that the film in
dustry~ is alleged to be directing po-
litical activities.
Public sentiment is demanding that |
the moral tone of pictures exhibited
be elevated, and there is good ground
for the demand. Many photoplays
exhibited daily are salaciuus, sug.
gestive, and decidedly detrimental |
to good morals. This Is not sur
prising when the veil is swept aside
from the private lives of some of |
the leading characters in these films. !

CATION of alleged political, activities ,

Winter Coal

If peaceful methods fail to bring about an
agreement between the operators and miners,
the government viii take drastic measures to
obtain the mining of enough coal to prevent suf-
fering and hardship next winter.
This summarizes the attitude of high govern
ment officials toward the parties most directly
interested in the strife, and at the same time
offers some hope for the public, which, in this
instance as usual pays the price for an industrial
disturbance.
The months of idleness that have passed
since the strike was first called cannot be re-
called, and the coal which should have been put
into storage must be mined in the few months
intervening before winter sets in.
The reserve supply of coal is gradually wan
ing, which interpreted in terms of industry
means that unless it is replenished thousands of
mechanics and workers in the factories will soon
be idle
Bloodshed and arson have marked this strike
The Illinois massacre is one of the most horrible

Holding Americans for Ransom

Just at time when Americans believed con-
ditions in Mexico had been stabilized, bandits
in the southern republic seize number of our
citizens, hold them4for ransom, and take over
S250,O00 of American property.
All of which naturally raises the question of
President Obregon's power to maintain order
and protect our interests in his country. If the
Mexicans have no respect for the rights of our
citizens, and if President Obregon cannot contro.
his people, our government will be forced to take
steps to demand adequate protection.
Back of the resumption of raids on American
property may be an effort to embarrass Presi-
dent Obregon. Members of the Mexican en-
bassy seem inclined to accept this Interpretation
of the overt acts If it is true that President
Obregon's political enemies have resorted to
these tactics, they have chosen most inoppor-
tune time for their activities. Irrespective of
the outrages, our government cannot afford to
permit Mexican bandits to seize its citizens for
ransom and confiscate their property.
