OPPORTUNITY FOR WILL HAYS

Soon will come the Peggy Hopkins
Joyce" reaction. The motion picture
star will reach our shores, and then
will follow the new burst of press
agent Junk doubtless to the effect
that these stories of men committing
suicide for love of the "bewitching'
screen star are all nonsense and un-
true. The public must be caught
coming and going, and every twist
and turn of opportunity capitalized
by the publicity factories.
1t is amazing, however, how soon
thes cheaper seekers of publicity
crawl into their shells when they find
the public resentful of their advertis-
ed exploits. The Motion Picture
Owners Association has barred Peg
gy Joyce pictures from the screen In
the interest of wholesome entertain.
ment. Hence the panic The free ad-
vertising worked, was a source OF
qualification undoubtedly up to the
time this blow fell, but as soon as the
financial bump became known-and
the radio quickly spreads the word
these days-indignant deniaIs of sui
eide stories began to fly through the
ether, and seeming dignity took the
place of complacent satisfaction.
Thus there is presented to Will
Hays striking lesson which, il
needed, will lead to a complete re-
form in motion picture press agent
work. The great industry has been
strangled by it's press agents almost
to the point of death. They have run
riot for years, and seemingly they're
still at the same old tricks. Protest
has been made time and again to the
motion picture producers, but all
suggestion has fallen ON deaf ears.
The eploiters of both press and pub
lie have been practically running the
motion picture industry without in
reference, and they have run it pref
ty much into the ground. They have
brought about censorship in many of
the states, and if permitted to contin-
ne their blatent and sensuous APP
peals, they will bring about censor
ious condition that will be still more
harmful 1t is time these conscious
less sensationalists were curbed and
great industry permitted to work
out it's destined place in the public
happiness and mental growth unham-
pered by such destructive influences.
If few more films that depend upon
notoriety for success are barred from
the screen, and the manufacturers
face a few millions of dollars loss,
perhaps they will then wake up to
the fact that their spectacular press
agents are inexpensive luxury.
Seemingly nothing but an assault on
the pocketbook will affect them.

On Memorial Day the old wooden
war memorials that glittered with
painted carving in 1919 are to be
burned in accordance with military
regulations by various posts of the
American Legion, according to re-
ports received at legion national
headquarters.
These memorials were built in the
early days of the armistice, and bore
on wooden panels the names of the
local dead of the service. OF late
they have fallen into decay, having
been erected merely as temporary
memorials. The legionnaires, remem-
bering army regulations which pro-
vide that old American flags, too
shabby for display, are burned, so
that the torn pieces may never be
scattered or soiled, intend to apply
the principle to the destruction of
the old honor rolls" to prevent their
abuse by souvenir hunters.

THE SPEAKERSHIP

Both houses OF the STAKE Legislature 4. the APP
preaching session viii be oca,roaseG BY the lr6e-
'pendents. and one OF the problems 10 waaca sAs
house majority mast address itself Is Saa, q S2sos-
ing a speaker. !
Most ernpta7ically no man should Sc e2eesea
speaker because he happens to live 81 Z aa-,aoasa-
district. or because somebody wishes - pay ssza /
compliment. Unless the Independents wish q as~
do much of the beneficial work eha, has been per
speaker a man whose strongest reoon'aaeadacian Is
the confidence switch the entire membership viii
have in his sound judguaen. and fairness,
knowledge, OF parliamentary -uies Is IN cSceS-
lent thing in a presiding o1T5oer. Il enables shas
officer to save the TINE CT the house and 70 ger
work done promptly which otherwise would drag.
But a man only moderately familiar with pariia-
mentary procedure can obtain the assistance OF eA-
lperts in that line. and under the circumstances which
prevail at this time the speaker WHO has the rcspsc,
and confidence OF the entire membership Is the man
needed, rather than the parliamentary expert.
Further, il the beneficial possibilities 81 this
session are to be realized. the speaker must concern
himself more with har1lonlZIns the programs OF
other men than with putting over q program OF his
own.
1t may be taken ior granted thar most u the
men who will sit in the legislature are honestly de
sirous of doing the very best that can be done 1or
the state. There are differences OF opinion as TO
just what is best, but in most cases there is no very
essential difference as so the really desirable things
that are within reach. a speaker who couples with
a sound understanding Of the needs and possibilities
the type of character which 0nds to SIraighren out
difficulties and harmonic differences can be OF IN
Icaculable service to the state. andShe work which
the house MAY do under his guidance can be Of ever
lasting benefit.

The attack on Attorney General Daugherty
which is being made just now is intended+to punish
him for daring TO bring the legal machinery OF the
government to bear for the purpose of protecting
the country against the breaking down of its trans
portation system through the conspiracy OF former
railway employees to prevent the operation OF trans.
In connection with the Shipments strike, as in
connection with every great strike, there had. been
hundreds of cases OF violent interference with men
who were attempting to perform the work neces-
sarv to the operation of trains, and railroad prop
crty has been maliciously destroyed, There has
never vet been a strike involving thousands of men
in which such incidents have not occurred. AL
wavs there have been strikers who themselves COM
United such acts OF violence. and always there have
been others whb took advantage of the generally
demoralized conditions to engage in the destruc-
tive activities into which their natural inelinations
led them. .%
These things were incidental to the strike, and
no self-respecting government could permit them
to continue without taking. steps to prevent them.
But the real issue was not the assaults made on
individual work1nen here and there, nor the occa-
sional smashing of cars and burning OF bridges.
The issue was whether. or no. men, whether few Or
many, engaged in an industry essential to>the very
life of the people, should be permitted to %conspire,
and to carry into effect a conspiracy, whose lm1ne-
diate purpose was to cause the breaking down of
that industry, with the entailnlent of untold suffer-
ing on the entire population. @m ~,
If, Under our system of government, that sort
of thing is possible. and the government is power
less to prevent it, then there is something lacking
in our system, and our government is a sham. Mr..
Daugherty undertook to assert the authority of the
government for the prevention of further injury, at
a time when the conditions had become desperate.
Whether or not all the steps which he took were
wisely takeAis not specially important at this time.
The important thing to have in mind is the fact
that because he did act, he is to be punished, and
the method employed is to dig up all the charges
that could be thought of, and which had been mat
tiers of common knowledge, but which had not been
thought Of sufficient importance to warrant steps
for impeachment until. in his official capacity, he
trod rather severely on the toes of certain labor
leaders. L Is II

CANADA AND HER RAILWAYS.

The fact that the Dominion of Canada owns
and operates two of the three great railway systems
which traverse that country is not evidence that the
Canadian people are committed to the policy of gov
eminent ownership in general, or of government
ownership of railways in particular. In this case
public ownership was largely thrustupon the Cana
dian government.
, The building Of the Canadian Pacific road in
the eighties was a political necessity. British. Co.
lumbia became a member of the Canadian federal
ton with the understanding that rail comnunica-
ton with the east should Immediately be provided.
There could be no such thing as political solidarity
in a country whose members were separated by
more than a thousand miles of wilderness where
the only roads were trails and the only vehicles
lumber wagons while there was quick and easy
communication with the United States just at the
south. Just as the United States had to have the
Union Pacific to tic the coast territory fast to the
union, Canada needed a transcontinental line for a
similar reason. ! :.
The Canadian Pacific was built IL W. 1iber-
ally, and some said lavishly subsidized, with lands
and with money, and even with the very substan-
tial gifts that were made to it, it was no easy matter
to find men willing to assume the task of building,
with all the risks attendant on it. The road has
prospered, tidng over it's early lean years, by the
judicious handling of the enormous landed estate
OF which it became the owner.
The Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pa
CHIC were built IS competitive roads, the latter pat-
ticularly reaching up into the far northNn lati-
tudes, where settlement was slow to follow. In the

MALARIA DYING oUT. :

So far as the intensely malarial
parts of the country are concerned,
malaria Is being wiped out. The
mar who has just recovered from a
spell Of malaria may dispute the
statement. The community that has
just been through an autumn with an
unusual. malaria prevalence may dis
pute it. But, no one will dispute it
who will compare 1922 with 1912,
1902, 1892. or 1882. ID
II all the people who are now in
fected would take enough qutnine and
take it long enough, there would not
be enough malaria in 1928 for the
use of the teachers of medical stu
dents. Y
The mosquito season is over. In
n extreme south. mosquitoes will
bite occasionally OF warm days all
winter long; some of the bites Will
be of the malaria bearing family.
Some persons will even be infected
with malaria. But &C. Bass has
shown that after the weather gets
cold malarial parasites in mosoui-
toes are prone to- stop developing.
Even though, under the influence OF
the warmth of q warm winter day. a
mosquito that had been infected
should come out and feed, there
would be q slim, chance that 1t would
inject the person fed on.
ROSS has worked out the law of
