some old animosities are stirred
again: classroom work in history
that never quickens the blood is a
crime against the past and against
the spirit of youth. If we under
take to teach history at all, let's use
the device that will get il across to
the youthful mind full strength, and
see what the effect of such knowl-
edge will be upon our social prob

The best solution OF whatever

no more Of an evil than speech or
print. Let us not suppress it, but
make it tell the sublime tale in which
we are interested. 1t can tell the
story of religion quite as well as 1t
tells of love and daring, and the
church must preach its gospel parity
with the camera and the screen. IN

dramatic episodes which can be

Complete Fortifieation

What we have herein to say with reference to
the controversy between board Of supervisors and
the county highway commission concerning the
status Of the latter, is not to be construed
expression opinion to the merits of it. That
is matter for settlement by the court upon whose
authority we would not dare 10 impinge IL we
disposed to do So
we have been struck by the multiplicity OF the
reasons given by the county attorneys office,
in support OF opinion it had previously announced
against the contentious of the highway commission.
Referring to that opinion the county attorneys office
in its letter to County Treasurer Wright advising
against the payment Of warrant drawn by the
mission against the proceeds Of the second bond ISSUE
states:
You will note that the view expressed by said
opinion is
First that under the law only one highway com
mission had been authorized;
Second, that If a second highway commits
sion had been authorized it was not appointed and
Third that even If second highway commission
was authorized and attempted to be appointed,
the persons attempted to be appointed quail
fled required by law and therefore there does not
exist any body authorized empowered to expend
or draw warrants upon the proceeds Of the second
or $4,5o0,Oo0 county highway bond issue
The form OF the foregoing reminds US OF the
impregnable, interlocking barb wire defense OF
citizen who was dragged into court to answer
charge of having stolen neighbors pig. He defended
himself vigorously basng his claim of innocence
upon five separate counts First that the prosecut-
ing witness had never owned pig second that the
defendant had had no pig in his possession; third
that the pig in the defendants possession not
the pig OF the prosecuting Witness fourth, that the
defendant had not stolen the compainants pig but
had found it at large in the public highway, had
removed it to place of safety his premises, had
fed and sheltered 1t, and merely holding it
against payment for the services rendered; fifth,
that the defendant had eaten the pig and that there
was accordingly, no evidence which to prosecute
him

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan.ZO.-
The congress of the United States
is now struggling with the question
of further reform legislation. This
time it is, on the face of it, designed
to hit at horse racing, but as a mat
ter of fact probably would prevent
newspapers from printing sporting
news of any kind and give one GOV,
ernment agency a fairly strong hold
on the press of the country.
Professional reform agencies are
actively behind the measure, trying
to defend it from the attacks which
have come from every side. The bill
now is before a subcommittee of the
senate Judiciary committee.

THE THREE MUSkETEERS

The best argument against such
degradation of the screen as We re-
ferred to last week is "The Three
Musketeers' now closing a three-day
run at the Rialto. Here is everything
the public wants in entertainment.

cities, daring and romantic adventure

When Douglas Fairbanks star first
rose 1t was destined to lead him to
this role of D'Artagnan, the intrepid
GaScon blade. To see him in The
Mark of Zorro is to know that Dumas
has for one of his chief characters
an interpreter, accurate without
makeup or training beyond all the
demands OF art. And then to see him
star in "The Three Musketeers" is
to revel in a confluence of oppor-
tunity and ability all too rare in this
hit-or- miss world.
There are many reasons why the
average of films is not up to this;
excellence comes high and is natu-
rally rare. In this democratic art
much has already been done. how

our brains and our money on the
production of the super film and let
it take care of itself before a public
whose love of pure romance will
never flag nor fail.

STRANGLING THE PRESS

There has been expressed before
the committee not only fear OF the
immediate effect of the legislation. if
IL becomes a law, hat apprehension
because OF the general tendency Of
such legislation. There has been
freely expressed to the committee
holding the hearings the opinion that
the. measure is merely a symptom
of the trend of legislation toward
regulating everything in the country,
paralyzing one business after another
by putting them into governmental
straight Jackets.
Senator Stanley. Of Kentucky. one
of the strongest opponents of the bill,
has this to say about the measure:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--In an effort
to expedite congressional action on

Shoals. Ala, Senator Harris, democrat,
of Georgia said today that he was
considering introduction in the senate
of a bill for acceptance of Mr.. Ford S
offer so that senate committees as well
as those of the house may start work

Regret was expressed by several
southern senators that Secretary
Weeks had not submitted the Ford
proposal to the senate simultaneously
with its transmissionto the house, and
Senator Harris said he feared this
failure might result in delay in the
senate
Chairman Kahn of the house mill
tary committee, to which the Ford
proposal was submitted, said today
that the committee would meet tomor-
row to discuss the procedure in con-
nection with it's consideration OF the
proposal It is believed that Secretary
Weeks, Mr.. Ford and army engineers
win be the only witnesses called in
the hearings. members Of the commit
tee having become familiar with the
