He finished the Job to every

his paraphernaiia to the port

Government
Control

IF the strikes last for awhile
there will be some interesting
developments, and some may
not be pleasant.
The Republican platform an
nounced quite firmly its opposition
to GOVERNMENT ownership of
railroads or control of railroads by
EMPLOYEES.
So far as this Administration is
concerned, railroads controlled by
the Government are not out of the
question.
WHAT ABOUT GOVERNMENT
CONTROLLED BY THE RAIL
RoADSf
The President asks the railroads
not to let the seniority question in
terfere with a settlement. The peo-
pie would like him to say: II am
not going to ALLOW you to let the
seniority question interfere with
the settlement. 1t is for the Pres
ident of the United States, not the
president of a railroad, to decide
in matters affecting every inhab-
liant of the United States.

Motion Pictures
and Censorship

1T would seem as if the present
managers of the motion picture
industry are animated by a
broad and intelligent purpose. They
realize the need Of better pictures.
They seem to grasp the educative
possibilities-the Importance of the
picture in developing good, popular
standards of life and of national
and international morality.
They also seem to understand
that external censorship is unde-
sirable. Mr.. Hays we'll said that
"the principle Of freedom upon
which this nation was founded
makes public censorship of press,
pulpit, film or spoken word vir-
tually an impossibility."
1t is more obvious than true that
there is censorship of all these
things. Mr.. Hays is profoundly
right, for such censorship repre-
sents only a temporary reaction.
Not for an incalculable period of
time can the principle of external
authority be again whole -heartedly
accepted. The future, as far as it
can be seen or felt, belongs to self
development and self-control, in the
movies as we'll as in education, in
dustry and government. That is
what our democracy means.

Substitutes for Wars

WE hope the parents of Edwin
" Pitman, a merville
W (Massachusetts) lad of
fifteen years, will read an essay by
William James on moral substi-
tutes for war, and then use their
ingenuity in applying the truth of
that essay to the education of their
son.
Edwin put an extraordinary in
genuity, perseverance and skill
all very fine qualities-into the
construction of a gun which he in.
tended as an improvement on the
French 75-millimeter field gun.
He was determined to do his best
to prepare for the next war. That
in itself, showed an admirable
social and national feeling, but un-
fortunately applied at just this
period of social DEVELOPMENT
which looks to something else. But
that isn't Edwin s fault. He hadn t
been taught anything better.
He touched match to his home
brew gunpowder and his expert
ment worked wonderfully. 1t
worked on a small scale the way
the Great War worked. 1t got out
of hand. The gun kicked, left it's
mounting, went through a bedroom
and demolished the plastering.
1t would seem as if little family
and social imagination might ar
range better background and en-
vironment for the application of
the talents Of young Pitman.

4 GENERAL rule, however,
"A is that married life is
happy and successful just in
proportion as both Of the con-
tracing parties sever them.
selves from their families. That
is the order of Nature. 1t is
her purpose to found a new
family: and when the new fam
lily starts life among relatives,
the chances are against its sue
cess. Indeed, you can tell the
person who has always lived
among relatives. He is usually
narrow, clannish and vain.
What he needs Is to get out into
the world and get that tonic
treatment that a human being
only receives from people who
care nothing about where he
comes from nor who was his
father.
And this applies to both man
and wife. One Of the best things
that can happen to a young
couple launching their bark Of
matrimony Is to sail out into
the open sea and seek a dis
tant port.
II I were the emperor Of
this country and charged with
making it's laws. I would de-
cree that all young married
people should spend the first
ten years of their married life
not less than 1000 miles away
from father. mother, sister and
brother.
