The Return of FATTY"

POLITICALLY. the gesture with which
Will Hays announced the return Of
Fatty" Arbuckle to the films was a mis-
take. The return Of FATTY" has nothing
to do with his banishment Whether his
retirement was wise or not, it was
achieved, and the return of Fatty" after
a short-time sentence was rather below
the high grade Of Al aeumen which Mr..
Hays has been producing for the last ten
years. If Fatty was banished for cause,
his banishment was too short. II tho
cause Of his banishment was not real. but
imaginary, then he should have come back
with an apology from those who banished
him. II, on the other hand, the head OF
the motion picture industry thinks the
sentiment which justified the Punishment
Of Fatty" from the films has subsided.
the head Of the motion picture industry
has made the mistake of his young and
innocent life.
Fatty" had nothing coming to him eN-
cept an apology or a longer sentence.

Four Years Ago

-FOUR years ego this week Colonel
Roosevelt died. In the four years OF
his absence the poignant sense Of personal
loss has abated but little for the thou
sands who knew him for a friend, and
for millions Of others the four years have
served to put him in even higher esteem
than they he'd I'm when he was with us
in the flesh. During the first year or so
it seemed that a curious Roosevelt myth
might arise-the shadow of the militant

Noted improvement has marked the

Removal to a large extent Of handi-
caps incident to the coal and railroad
strikes has had the effect of restoring

With but few exceptions, it is pointed

The increase in actual volume OF

Destructive criticism is easy. Constructive crit

sit is old fashioned or sit isn't modern enough
or ait lacks courage or some other complaint
which makes no suggestion.
OF course, there is nothing the matter with re-
ligion. The belief in II supreme diety, and worship
of that diety is an ingrained human fundamental.
The matter is not with the religion, but with
the means taken to spread, 10 teach, to use that re
ligion.
And the matter to many people who Try to
think constructively is that those in authority in
the churches place 20 much emphasis upon the
mechanics of religion and not enough on the spirit
nal things of that religion. Church fathers, elders,
deacons, and dignitaries meet and spend precious
tine discussing what words to leave in and what
to take from, the ritual; they waste time and eff
fort trying to decide whether this ban shall he re-
moved and that one put on, while people hunger
to he taught of God.
Let the churches forget internal fights over non
essentials, and devise new and better ways of
teaching men and women the spirit of true religion,
and it will be the Sunday moving picture house
manager who walls that the church takes all his
audience. not the clergyman who sorrows that his
dock would rather sec a picture than listen TO

Our Carelessness

REFUSED final citizenship papers by the judge
IL of the District of Columbia supreae court
seven aliens are protesting at being the first ex-
amples of unsuccessful applicants for any other
reason than failure to pass the required e1amina-
ton.
The men were shown to have used their citizen
ship IN other countries as a means of avoiding
service in the United States armed forces during
the war, and it was proved that none of them
served in the countries of their origin. The judge
held that men who would serve neither their own
country, because of residence in this, nor this
country, because of citizenship in other countries,
were not fit to become citizens of the United States.
Comment on the action of the judge is altogether
and the Importance is pointed out of
other jurists taking equal care and pains in grant
ing final citizenship papers. In this connection.
quotations have been made from a report Of the
house of representative COMMITTEES on immigration
safeguarding citizenship in the United States. Ac-
corsing to the report, a survey of 40 state insti-
buttons with n total of 2l0.S35 inmates found Ella
per cent of this fifth of a million inmates to be of
foreign birth, and 400 per cent either of foreign
birth or having at least one parent of foreign
birth. Institutional management thus devotes at
least one-third of total expenditures to the foreign
stock which has arrived in the United States with
in this generation. If the States on the average
spend 81 per cent of their total revenus for main
tanning inadequates, about I per cent of the total
revenue is spent in caring for degenerate and de-
pendent foreign human stock.

The Ancient DOGGY Man

A GENERAL STRIKE! Do you remember, you
n grown-ups, when you climbed up the long dark
stairs to the mysterious attic of your childhood.
And the other older children, told You 70 watch
out for the DOGGY man?' And you jumped and
shivered and shook with terrified delight?
There wasn't any DOGGY man. really. 1t was
Just a Pigment Of childish imagination.
Nor is there any real grown up "bogey man,
not even when he masquerades by the name of
general strike There are those hot-headed and
under-educated members of society who would like
to brighten the rest of us with his name. But they
forget these agitators, that this is America, where
all have some, and many have much, opportunity
to learn; where standards of living are high;
where men are safe and secure in their homes;
where each mans house is his castle and each
mans wife and children his TO protect and love and
keep, and never a man or n government TO say
him nay.
The American, tho true, red blooded, patriotic,
fagloring, landloving American can no more be
led into making himself a part of a Bolshevist
DOGGY man than he can be led into mass murder for
the establishment of a soviet after the fashion of
Russia.
The indignation, the revolt, the emphatic mega
from American workmen, who are Americans first,
ton only after they have expressed their Amer
icsnism and their belief in, and adherence to-
American principles and the American government.
Our childish tormentors 1suid never produce the
'boger man. AS long as Americans are Americans
i;-st, no ag;tator can produce the general strike

The Tragedy Of Bernadotte

."RERNADoTTE is a western Illinois village on
IL the banks of the Spoon river, the stream made
immortal by Edgar Lee Masters notes the New
York Herald. ~The population is about 100. The
residents get their mail and their freight at Ipave.
which is five miles south.
"Until last week Bernadotte was very interest
ing for the things it lacked. Tt had no railroad, no
p0stoffice, no motor cars, no telephones. 1t lay
asleep in the heart of Fulton county. far from the

in the shape of a location man in the motion pic
ture business.
Every oldster who was brought up in the coun,
try can imagine what this shopping devil saw: the
main street and the cross road: the store with the
leisurely proprietor and the veteran loungers; a
dog asleep in the clean warm dust of the street;
two lines of old white houses set nicely apart, each
with its wealth of hollyhocks. sweet Williams and
crocheting: elderly men going slowly but surely
about the business of life. And of course a bov or
two, perhaps picking apples but certainly bare
foot. And plenty of silence except for the gentle
moan of the grist mill.
"Most city strangers would have gazed rever.

cation man hustled over to the nearest town where
there was a telephone and sent word to his master

go to the store in calico dress and poke bonnet.
The dog will sleep in the yellow dust at his peril.

ground for a rural play. Tourists will buzz through
the street and goad the storekeeper into selling gas.

"The tragedy of Bern3dotte is almost as terrible
as that of the village in Kipling's Letting In the
Jungle" In that case, however, the village had

overwhelmed in the modern jungle of telephone

The Words We Speak

THE THoUGHLEss- WORD is as old as human
L speech. It has broken old and dear friend
ships. II has made enemies Of strangers who
should have become friends. II is a little thing
bat its activity cannot be questioned. 1t has gone on
its ruinous way since man first spoke to man, and
doubtless will continue until the last man has only
himself with whom to converse.
The thoughtless word is purely human. 1t repre-
se3ts the lack of approach TO perfection. The linn
itation by which human kind is bounded.
He Ia : mighty wise man and a might 1is and
broad man and a mighty Philosophical man who
really and truly eraces from his memery the
.thoughtless, the unkind word. sHe is the happier
for having done it. But the man who permits the
affront to rankle in his bosom, to cherish resent
ment of the ungracious word uttered by intent or
totally without malice is doomed to misery. Misery
for himself and unhappiness for the person who
would make amend il acceptable.
The unkind word is one of the little things that
enters into the make up OF life, Some people arc
thoughtful and considerate, hut most Of us are
otherwise. 1t is largely a matter of training and
association. No one really desires to be thought
less, much less cruel, but too many of us do our
speaking first and our thinking last. We should
reverse the order.
