ELKSFROLIC
SCORES HIGH
FIRST NIGHT
Broadway Cast of Actors
Could Not Surpass
Local Stars

Had Broadway cast. by some
magic wand, bridged over the dis
tancc from little old New York
and stopped long enough at the
Colonial Theatre last evening to
produce the Elks Frolic, a house
OF enthusiastic St. Johnsbury
people could not have gone to
their homes happier ol more salts
fed with the result Elks Frolic,
edition of 1922, produced by st.
Johnsbury lodge No. 1343 B. P.
O. Z. scored heavily over the foot
lights and carved for itself lofty
niche in the local hall of fame,
wherein are recorded the achieve
mcnts of histrionic satellites, sup
er- r-endmen of crowning musical ac-
complishments.
Elks Frolic deserved all this and
more.
Gathering its force gradually in
the First Frolic,-a faithful-to-life
scene enacted at the Elks Home
where a rehearsal for the show is
being held-the production led and
directed by Frank Coombs, sped
into rapid and more rapid action,
grew intense with color, music,
dancing and brilliance and finally
bust forth in its full effulgence of
splendor in the gorgeous Second
Part.
Mr.. Coombs welded with trained
skill the profusion of splendid local
talent that had been placed at his
call, In the cast were two ST.
Johnsbury impresarios. Frank o.
French, director of many success
ful minstrels, drew to himself a
generous share of the applause
that greeted the appearance of
every star. Ralph Howes, who re-
Gently earned for himself recogni-
tion as director of his leader
ship of the American Legion show
last winter, was at his best in a
lyric number.
Hitherto unplumbed depths of far
cical comedy, of screaming mirth
and jollity, of comical makeup and
impersonation, were sounded last
evening when Frank 0. French
and Morton H. Starr fitted forth
from the stage wings to front and
center for their unusually clever
act, "Mr. Gallagher and Mr..
Shean.
Now St. Johnsbury's own
Frank O. French, without whom
no local production is complete un-
less he applies the deft touch of
hi, artistic ability, is secure in his
high position at the top of local
celebrities. Mr.. French was su-
preme in the Fourth Frolic last
evening. Thought at first to be
able only to bask in the lustre shed
By his illustriouS partner in "Mr.
Gallagher and Mr. Shean," was
Morton H. Starr. Mr.. Starr, his
clcverness undimncd by the recog-
nized brilliance of "Mr. Gallagher"
Frank O. French-upheld his
part with all the nonchalance of a
finished actor.
Prominent among the chief fig
ure.; in the first Frolic were Paul
Farnham, as Clarence, somewhat
ctfeminiate individual, Miss Cath
ernc Morrison, as MANDY" the
colored maid, Collins Brodien, the

THE SENATE AND THE RoNus

With the expression of sentiment hv me republican caucus of senate members Nt which about two-thirds were present. t Is indtcated that there Is a deterni- nation to put through some kind of bo- nus legislation. What it will be no ore can tell It is ordered that bill be ure- sented within reasonable time and in Keeping with the vote action is to be ex- pected at this session
 Interest of course develops as to what Inc senate will do regarding the provis- Ion of revenue to meet the requirements of the hill. By the house Dill that rests with the future but 1t is known that Pres ident Harding has taken the position that bonus bill should not be passed unless thsre is a means provided for obtaining the needed money. There are those who believe that the president will sign what. ever bin providing for bonus is present. d to him. Others are quite as convinced hat he will do no such thing and that he vii veto any measure that does not pro. vIde a method for raising the needed bfl. Hons
 IL is significant at this time thai Treasurer Mellon gives notice 70 the eff. feot that the indications new are that there will be a treasury deficit aggre. gating about s4s4, ,O00,O 900 for the year 1923 unless more taxes are provided fol or stilI greater economies are effected 1T running the government.
 What he takes under consideration doe. not of course include the bonus payments There are government obligations thai must be met and through tax reduction, federal revenue has been reduced.
 Put onto the other treasury demands what will be needed to meet the bonui requirements and the deficit would b, stif further boosted. It serves to ernpha size tte erroneous idea that method O meeting the expenses of bonus canno be neglected If 1t is going to be paid Whether it comes from the treasury o from foreign countries or from treasur! certificates it must eventually have 1t effect upon the pocketbooks of the tax pSyes, or an increase in taxation follow ing a decrease and at time when tn, demands are for less instead of more.
 The country is awaiting with interes the judgment of the senate in regard t this legislat:on.

FOREST PROTECTION

Lest we should forget it this is the week that is being observed throughout the country as forest protection week and there are states in which today Is being observed as Arbo. day. Attention is frequently called to the great damage that is done yearly by fire in the destruc- tio- Of woodland, both as to the area cov- cred by 1t, the menace to lives and dwell ings because of it and the loss thst Is represented by such visitations. None who understands what these are can do other than believe that sufficiently in- creased attention should be devoted to the matter of forest protection to prevent Such conditions.
 On the other hand while fire destroys the timber supply within the area where it operates there is also a depletion of tl1e supply through meeting the demands Of the nation for timber of various kinds and in different forms. That doesn't rep resent a loss but the combined removal Of forests by fire and axe hestens the ap- proach of the day when valuable natural resources will disappear.
 Thus we come to realize that there ars forestry problems of large size, the so. lution of which may well concern the ex. perts and receive attention from the country. When the experts declare that the solution lies to a large degree in fire prevention and reforestatioh 1t can bC appreciated that such would do much tc check the waste and replace the drain.
 When forest fires represent the loss 0. sufficient timber each year to build house! for the entire population of cities of hal million population and that the are: burned over each year is equal to a strlI ten miles wide running from New Torl city to Denver. Col, 1t can be appreciated what a benefit would come from block Ing such an absolute loss.
 Forest protection week will certainl, nave It's benefits if it but serves to al rect increased attention to the condition which exist and stimulates action towart he remedy that Is so much needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Prohfbftion Law.

Mir. Editor: The following facts are 8 part of the speech given in the house of representatives in Washington, D. C., by Hon. A. P. Nelson of Wisconsin, on Dec. 21, 1921. If you. can print them
 shall be glad. as I believe they will be of interest. They now form part of the Congressional Record:
 The prohibition law was not the result Of precipitate action, but was the product
 of more than 100 years of agitation. Be-
 fore the federal law was enacted S2 of the 4s states had passed prohibition laws
 of their own.
 It Is generally conceded by thoughtful students of the subject that thet eight eenth amendment and the national prohi-
 bitfon act to enforce that amendment are based on two fundamental principles of
 government.
 The first principle is that legally con- stituted majority of the people have an inherent right to better their conditions in the form and manner prescribed by | law. The right to protect oneself from 1 harm or danger was the right of the in- 1 dividual before we h;td society. Judge
 Mclean, of the supreme court, express l ed this fundamental law as follows: It Is a power essential to self-preserva-

sTEApYING THE SHIP.

Great progress has been made in the improvement of ships. They have been made speedier. larger and safer and they have been equipped with all the comforts Of large hostelry but those which are designed for ocean travel haven't as yet been equipped with such a scientific ar engagement that will make them steady and prevent seasickness. There are ships that roll more than others and there are trips when the ocean handles the vessels with much less care than on others
 Because It has always been so does no. necessarily mean that it is bound to con- .inue that way. Efforts to overcome this handicap to ocean travel have shown much progress of late and particular at :ention Is now directed to the tests that nave been made with the gyroscope so constructed as to serve the purpose of a ,hip etabilizer that will meet the require nents of big vessels. It is the outgrowth of a similar device installed on pleasure yachts and smaller vessels where 1t is worked successfully and the preliminary .ssts of the big machine that will offer a resistance of 66O tons to the roll of th. ship indicate that the days are not far iistant when greater comfort than ever VII be avsilabls on voyages on the high yeas
 Not only Is 1t bound to be of great ser.

USELESS WITHOUT ENFoBoEMDx

USELESS WITHOUT ENFORCEMENT
 In recognition of the fact that some thing needed to be done to increase the streets of New York an ordinance has been passed which devotes it's chief at tention to restrictions on trucks and de- livery wagons. Recognition is given to the fact that speed is to large degr ,e responsible for the large loss of life and that it must be checked. The result is that while the pleasure cars can go E 20 or 25 miles an hour according to the locality the delivery wagons and trucks are restricted to 12. This is because they are much heavier and constitute a much more serious menace because they are more difficult to control and stop.
 The belief is that the limiting of the speed will decrease the danger and that belief is likely to be realized to the very extent tha tthe law is enforced. The adop- tion of an ordinance and the announce ment that 1t has gone into effect are only just so many fiourishes unless from that time those users of the highway who are affected by it's provisions are given to in- derstand that they must obey it.
 It Is folly to suppose that drivers of any kind of vehicles are going to abide by such an order unless they get the im- pression that it is seriously meant, It is useless to expect those who would be l disposed to keep within the requirements of the law to do so unless those for whom the restrictions is really intended are made to abide by the new regulations. | New York has unquestionafbly come to the right conclusion when it decides that the speed of vehicles in the highwav c1~
 tributes greatly to the growing list of fatalities and the danger of the hiefwav but what is of even greater importance Is the -ealization of the fact that not un- til people are given to understand tha; the putting ino effect of an ordinance al so means it's enforcement will the roaI aim be accomplished. Lenienoy and the toleration of the abuse of existing laws and ordinances are what makes necessary so many new ones.

MIR. HAYS, RULING.

The moving picture industry was work ing in it's own interests when 1t sought Will H. Hays for it's director. There has been a steadily increasing demand for censorship against which the moving pie ture interests have been offering ali pos sfble opposition, even to putting forth the claim that they would be willing to and would prefer to do the important work of censoring by restraining the questionable features against which there has been such strong feeling.
 Their offer to house clean has not re- suited in the abolition of the censorship but 1t gives them the opportunity to show how sincere they are in tl>
 to the effect that they desire to put the industry on the high plane that cannot experience opposition.
 The first big opportunity since Mir. Hays has assumed his new job is present ed in dealing with the Arbuctle films. The fact that he has been acquitted of mansIaughter after three trials hasn't driven from the minds of the people the facts that have been brought out regard ing the character of the man and when the sole judge of what should be done re- NAAC AAAAAlS III AtO aPPCdEO 0c- lares that they are not to be shown t will meet with widespread approval throughout the country, make it unneces- sary for communities to get excited about them and make it evident that the mov- ing picture interests are displaying 8 keen regard for what they show and the attitude of the public toward their pos sible offerings. Mir. Hays has made 2 ruling that indicates he Is rendering 2 -service which has long been needed ana that under his guidance the movies vii shake off some of their bad features.
