from Chicago Tribune.)

Will Hays was made dictator Of the movies
to give them a moral sponsorship. He was to
represent character and to discipline infEac-
tons Of the moral code. The movies thought
that in public esteem they needed character
bath, just as baseball thought when ittook Lam
dis for the same work. Roscoe Arbuckle, the
Fatty of movie comedy, was tried for murder
and acquitted. We believe the jury yerdicts
were findings of the truth. Arbuckle had been
the host Of a rough party. the conditions Of
which were discreditable and may have been
disgraceful. but he did not commit murder.
Hays, as dictator OF the movies. said that
Arbuckle's punishment would be Punishment
from the screen. He was not to be allowed to
work in any productions. He may have gone
broke In the expensive trials in which he had
to defend himself, and his living was taken
away from him by Hays order. This was stiff
punishment for misbehavior and bad conduct,
much more severe than ordinarily follows mis-
behavior Hays now says that Arbuckle has
proved by his good behavior that he had been
taught lesson. The comedian is contrite. and
he asks for another chance. Hays says that a
Christmas pardon has been earned and that the
fat comedian may work in pictures again.
! A moral element In the country remains
| offended and bitter. 1t demands that Arbuckle
forever be barred from appearing on the screen.
The demand has the intensity Of fury. and it
seems to US to be unbalanced and unreason-
able Arbuckle's work, or most Of it was low
comedy. He is not such comedian as Chap
lin He could not be bracketed with Sennett's
comedies But his work was not immoral, or
suggestive, or tainted. 1t is not proposed that
immoral, suggestive. or tainted pictures shall
be put out BY him. re dids7n do that before
his lesson.
Furthermore, it is not required that any
one disliking him shall see his pictures. A
person may 30 or may stay away. He Is mere
| ly permitted to offer pictures for such as may
want to see them. It is an unreasonable and
unsenerous mass spirit which condemns mis-
demeanant to life punishment regardless Of
any change which may have taken place in
him. It is an uncritical use Of the moral force
Of the community. 1t 10 savage and not reas-
oning.
It is misdirection Of good force 30 often
misdffected with such serious results in the
United States Many Of our social lapses are
caused BY the Unlicensed vision in which We
keep crimes against society. The irrelevancy
Of our moral uproars produces confusion

Henry was spoken of for the post.
In the midst of the agitation, Arch
ibald Cary met Henry's half-broth-
er and delivered his famous threat:
"Sir, / am told that your brother
wishes to be dictator. Tell him
from me that the day of his ap-
pointment shall be the day Of his
death, for he shall find my dagger
in his heart before the sunset Of
! that day." The project was speed

@. Who invented the cash regis
ter? B.
A. The modern cash register was
invented by Jacob Ritty of Dayton,
Ohio, patented in 1879, it being sug-
gested to him by the dial OF
steamship which recorded the. num-
Der of revolutions of the propeller.
@. Who said that the history Of
the world is the history of the
great men who have lived in it?

quotation from Carlyles Heroes

Careless Shampooing
SpojIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulslfed cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
Two Or three teaspoonfuls Of Null
;sified in cup or glass with little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance Of
rich creamy lather which rinses out
easily removing every particle Of

The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and it leaves the scalp soft, and the

A REVELATION

The late Franklin X. Lane of Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet was widely
esteemed and had the confidence Of
the country! Letters which he wrote
, to his brother during the months lust
preceding Americas entrance into
| the World War-are now being pub
| lished in Worlds Work for June. In
the nature of things. considering Mr.
| Lanes intimate acquaintance with
| the situation his expressions of opin-
ion would be received with unusual
| interest. 1t will be putting it mildly
to say that the frank revelation in
these letters is more than unusually
interesting. We thing the reader
will arrive at a like conclusion after
| reading the following letter from
| among the number:
Washington, February 25, 1911.
| My dear George:
On Friday we had one of the most
animated sessions of the Cabinet that
| suppose has ever been held under
| this or any other President. 1t all
arose out of a very innocent question
| of mine as to whether it was true
that the wives of American Consuls
| on leaving Germany had been stripped
naked, given an acid bath to detect
writing on their flesh, and subjected
to other indicnities. Lansing an
swel'ed that it was true. Then |
asked Houston about the bread riots
in New York, as to whether there
was shortage of food because of car
shortage due to vessels not going out
with exports. This led to discus
sion of the great problem which We
all had been afraid to raise: "Why
shouldn't we send our ships out with
guns or conveys? Daniels said we
must not convoy-that would be dam
gerous. (Think of a Secretary of the
Navy talking of danger.) The Presi-
dent said that the country was not
willing that we should take any risks
of war. | said that | got no such sem
timent out of the country, but if the
country knew that our Consuls' wives
had been treated so outraGeously that
there would be no question as to the
sentiment. This. the President took
as suggestion that we should work
up propa ganda of hatred against
Germany. OF course l said 1 had no
such idea, but that 1 felt that in
Democracy the people were entitled
to know the facts. McAdoo, Houston,
and Redfield joined me. The Presi-
dent turned on them bitterly, espe-
cially on McAdoo, and reproached all
or us with appealing to the spirit of
the Code Duello. We couldn't get the
idea out of his head that we were
bent on pushing the country into
war.
Washington, April 1, G917.)
Daily Kennebec journal., 1922-06-01

Mark Sullivan, the we'll known
Washington correspondent, is not re-
garded as a thick and thin supporter
of the Administration but he scouts
the report that President Harding
will ask for the resignation Of Attor-
ney General Daugherty and thinks it
ridiculous to make comparisons with
the Ballinger situation. He calls at
tention to the fact there is nothing
new about this Daueherty matter;
that it has been featured in several
Ohio campaigns and has nothing
whatever to do with the present
Morse case which comes up through
the Shipping Board. the lawyers of
that board not being under the con-
troll of Daughertys department. Mr..
Sullivan clearly sees and clearly ex-
presses the fact that the attack on
'Daugherty at this time is solely for
political purposes. Furthermore he
declares that the attorney general
has kept his department free from
politics, contrary to the predictions
freely made at the beginning Of his
term. Such being the facts it is in
deed absurd to suppose that the
President will ask for a resignation.

THE HEALTH PLAN FOR MAINE

The Nations Health published by
The Modern Hospital Publishing
Co, Inc, monthly ma gazine devoted
to community industrial and health
problems, edited by board distin-
guished in the medical profession,
makes it's prominent feature in the
May 18th issue an article by J. c.
Murphy of Augusta on The Health
Plan for Maine Included in the il
Illustrations are portraits Of the Pres
ident, DR.. E. D. Merrill of Dover-Fox-
croft, and Walter D. Thurber, Of Au-
gusta, the able executive secretary Of
the Association.
The editorial comment is as fol-
lows: The Health Plan for Maine is
a concrete endeavor under expert
guidance on the basis Of a compre-
hensive study of all underlying con-
ditions. All agencies are represented
and mutual responsibility of each to
the central organization is assumed.
The benefits of health are claimed for
the whole people. The plan is unique
in its comprehensiveness and in the
unity of purpose which marks this
community enterprise
In this the editors of this health
magazine have emphasized a feature,
which, we feel sure, will appeal to
many who have become distrustful of
the recent trend toward federal gov
ernment measures for centralizing
such efforts and building up bureaus
at Washington to take over work
which should be done through CO.
ordinated effort Of the communities
themselves. Secretary Thurber has
devised a workable and successful
plan for doing this, and the wide
recognition it is receiving from
health authorities is gratifying not
only to him and the Association but
also to many well-wishers.

Editors Letter Box
Grateful for a Favor

To the Editor:-
How many people are there in the
country today,who have time to think
about the disabled men that the war
has left incapacitated? Very Few.
Times are hard and one has troubles
enough of their own without borrow
ing more.
The Government although doing a
great work as yet has been unable 10
meet the situation and SO the dis
abled have to look after themselves
the best they can until they are
granted their compensation.
The American Legion and Red
Cross have shouldered the burden OF
the disabled as far as possible but
with so many calling for aid these
times even they cannot care for us
all.
Therefore tho tuberoular, gassed.
and numerous other sick, have been
left to their own resources to a great
extent,
Now T. as numerous other eX-serv-
ice men, have been helped by a man
whom the State of Maine should be
proud TO call native son. and that
man is His Excellency, Governor Per-
cival =. Baxter.
Through his kind words and act
ions I have been able to leave worry
in the discard, and with tuberculosis
worry is its boon companion, While
sunshine and smiles are its greatest
enemy. He is a man who does not
believe in waiting until il is too late
and then says it with flowers, but
acts when he can do the most good.
never expect to be able to repay
His Excellency Governor Baxter. for
what he has done for me, and for
what he has done for the disabled in
Maine in general, so 1 am taking this
way Of trying to show a side of him
that the general public may never
know.
Respectfully yours.

Saturday ain't no day to work as
sociation. Let's Co." is an ancient
urge in a new guise. 1t will be pop
ular so long as someone sees to it
that there is enough to eat and spend
the whole seven days of the week.
What with modern productive appli-
ances it may be possible after a while
to ignore the biblical injunction to
work six days, but that time in most
vocations has not arrived, and it
might be pertinent to remark that
this new association is promoted by
automobile interests, who appear will
ing to work all the seven days and
charge for overtime. Naturally they
would like to have the deat people
employ at least two days out of the
seven in using up their products.
Someone has truthfully 'emarked
that it is not good to have leisure be-
fore we learn how to employ it prof
itably to ourselves and to the crm-
munity.
