An Every Day Incident

The invasion of home in New York City in the
broad daylight of Sunday. the capture by robbers OF
seven servants the master and the mistress and the
locking of them up while the invaders eisurely looted
the residence was not an unusual incident. Yet it
vas one which could have taken place in other
great city than American city, except in time
of political disorder We could not conceive OF such
an occurrence in London, Paris, or Berlin though
at present something 1t would not be unexpected
in Belfast, Ireland But it is just such thing as
might happen any day in Chicago, San francisco
kansas City, Philadelphia or Boston.
q. 1t is not we believe that police inferior
to those of other civilized countries that less of
precaution for the protection OF life and property
is taken in America than in other countries. Why
IS it then, that these evidences of disorder 80
frequently manifest in America?
1t is we believe because there is less respect for
the here than elsewhere: because the proper ad
instration of the law is less certain because there
is not implanted in the criminal classes that fear of
the law which holds them in check elsewhere.
In European countries that is, in the countries
Of continental Europe. when conditions become
settled disorder and banditry sometimes prevail in
the ruraf districts and smaller towns But in the
larger towns and cities order is maintained.
Conditions reversed in this country. The law
is better enforced at all times in American rural
communities and small towns than in the larger cities
though is sufficiently lax at its best In the cities
the law frequently miscarries. 1t against
political influence for the criminal element is fire.

NEW YORK, April s-'It shall not
pass"
This is the new slogan of New
York theatrical producers who are
now mobilizing their forces to fight
the bill providing for state censor
ship of the stage when it comes UP
before the legislature at Albany. In
their frantic efforts to avert such a
calamity, they have hit upon a novel
idea. They will consent, they assert,
to have all productions against which
complaints are made tried by pub
lie jury
According to this plan, the city
authorities would draw from a panel
of 800 names a jury of II represent
ative citizens to consider the char
acter of the production under attack.
II this jury, after studying the show.
should report against it, then by a
previous binding contract all inter-
estS concerned-including the man
ager, playwright and actors-would
be compelled either to remodel the
Objectionable parts or promptly to
withdraw the play. If. on the other
hand the jury failed to support the
complaints, the play would be al
lowed to continue.
In other words, by this unique
scheme, the producers hope to be able
to make the public the arbiter in the
matter of questionable shows instead
of a prejudiced state board of CEN
sorship, probably chosen by the very
reform organization responsible for
its creation.
"There is no board imaginable" !"
declares one opponent to censorship,
which will not be personal in it's
{..A f~ IN that GXtarlf r. Nf-ir-
ious and tyrannical. There is no
board imaginable which will not do
more harm than good. IL the board
is radical, the range of drama is as
sure to be narrowed to suit radical
preference and purpose as it must be
narrowed to suit the conservatives II
the conservatives should dominate.
The state, in other word, cannot pos
sibly employ censorship without to
that extent entranching personal
government. That is the evil OF CEN
sorship. which is a deliberate ac-
centuation of the most dangerous
element in public control"
Even by the jury system. a plays
fate would be determined by the per-
sonal prejudices Of IL jurors. but at
least the jury would not be always
the same. The producers would have
the benefit of varity of opinion,
since that which seems indecent to
some people appears innocuous to
others.
Professional Refornera May Object
The great difficulty, of course. is
in getting the reformers to abandon
their will to- power activities and to
agree to the plan. To those who re-
Gently witnessed the brave but futile
efforts Of the movie producers to
prevent censorship in this state this
difficulty would appear insurmount-

Some RatD Food
Is Necessary

Many scientists are OF the firm
opinion that diet consisting solely
of cooked foods would prove fatal
to anyone in a short time.
Yet the addition of raw food to the
diet is a hard matter. Raw meat
though our remote ancestors may
have thrived on 1t, is adherent to
civilized man. A raw potato is
about as attractive to the palate as
a stick of firewood.
Many dieticians find the answer to
the question Of what raw foods can
be eaten and enjoyed in fruits and
certain vegetables. Oranges and
lemons are prominent among the APP
proved raw foods, because of their
high content of vitamines the es-
sential element recently recognized
as necessary not only to health, but
to life itself.
There are hundreds of attractive
ways in which oranges may be
served and used on the table.
Lemons have multitude of uses,
many of which are little known.

reau will secure for any OF our

recipes for the use of these citrus
fruits. This offering is entirely free.

To the Editor:
Sir: 1t has come to our attention
recently that rufnors and whispers
are being circulated in this commu-
nifty to the effect that letters Of
warning have been sent to certain
prominent. reputable business men by
this Organization.
These reports and rumors are
wholly, utterly and entirely false and
without foundation in fact. The pur-
pose behind them unquestionably is
malicious and niSchievous. designed
to injure the standing of the men
whose names are being used.
This organization not only does not
intend to permit cowardly sneaks to
carry on their nefarious schemes and
lay the blame at our door. nor do we
intend to let injury be done to hon.
est, reputable men.
We are at work now, with the in
tention Of detecting the persons who
have started these malicious reports,
and they will be dealt with severely
when our case against them is COM
pleted. They already are being
watched.
We call on you, as the editor Of
one of our daily newspapers, to do
your share in suppressing these false
reports by giving publicity to this
letter. The county attorney. sheriff
and the chief OF police all have on
file a communication bearing our
sacred seal, pointing out that no COM
munication is official and genuine
which does not bear that SEAL
II is wicked for honest, representa-
tive business men to be the object of
such false, malicious reports and we
take this mean OF branding these ru-
mors as deliberate lies

NOW FOR STAGE CENSORSHIP

able, but the theatrical producers evil
IDENTIFY do not intend to submit with
out a fight So far, however, their
campaign has been more subtle than
offensive, their object apparently be-
ing to conciliate rather than TO an
tagonize the censorship advocates.
Thus, 1t is noticeable that the theater
and the pulpit have recently become
very friendly. Ministers of the Goss
pei are now admitted to new plays
on the same footing with celebrated
dramatic critics; prominent actresses
invite them to tea. and theaters have
been offered to them for the holding
of religious services.
Ii all started with the recent debate
in a Baptist church between William
A. Brady and DIR. John Roach Stra-
ton. who is the leader of the move
ment for stage censorship. On this
occasion DIR. Straton indicted the
modern theater first of all because
Of the harm ii does to the girls and
women upon the stage itself, ana
secondly. because the theatrical man.
ayers are capitalizing womanly mod
esty and making merchandise OF
those female graces and charms that
God has designed for holy purposes.
"Things that used to be said at stag
parties are now openly discussed for
the benefit of both sexes" he de-
clared. "The red light district has
been supplanted by the white light
district and the price of promotion IN
many cases is the surrender OF Vir-
tue. 1t is no wonder that under tnese
sad and tragic conditions one OF these
directors turns up now and then with
a bullet in his brain or heart Inis
last was a reference to the Taylor
murder.
In reply, Mr.. Brady contended that
Or. Straton had failed TO produce
single fact. why doesn't he PICK
out conditions in society or in the
department store, or any other place
where men and women are thrown
together and tell some of the rotten
ness that exists there?" he asked.
II shall take pleasure in picking out
some of the horrible crimes perpe-
trated by ministers of the gospel ana
make them public at the next debate.
Many Criminal Churchmen
II will show that more murders
have been committed by members
of the church than by the acting pro-
fegsion, and that there are more
church people in prison than there
are stage people. and | will back
these statments with facts and fig
ures when I meet DIR. Straton again
on the platform"
Mr. Brady then concluded his ad-
dress with the suggestion that. II
the church really believed so much
iniquity to exist among stage people,
it should help them rather than
| ISLANDER them" Lets follow the
example of the Catholic Actors Guild
and get Presbyterian and Meth
odist and guilds of other denomina-
| tions and have a combined Actors
| Religious guild" he proposed.
This suggestion so pleased DIR.
Arizona republican., 1922-04-04

Thus. the whole subject Of stage
censorship has become. strangely
enough, inextricably bound UP with
the personalities of the stage. A
Hollywood moving picture director is
murdered. resulting in a certain
amount of scandal, and Immediately
DIR. Straton and his followers leap to
the conclusion that everything con-
nected with the stage is vile, and that
its productions must therefore be
controlled. This conclusion may
seem a trifle unreasonable to the
discerning, but experience has shown
that the legislators at Albany are
swayed by more potent means than
mere logic.

THE STAYER

/ know I've got a purple eye,
know I'm bruised and cut,
know my nose is all awry,
I know I'm wabbly-but
Although I'm pounded half to death
And crawling on the ground.
Just give me time to get my breath
I'll try another round.
Id like to lay me down and quit,
I'm shaky in the knees,
My arms are numb and cannot hit,
! grasp and choke and wheeze,
But still l say, as did Macbeth,
Lay on, Macduff'-and when
I've sort of got my second breath
I'll try my luck again!
/ know I'm weary, listless, slow
And bleary- eyed and lame,
But here's a thought-for all know
The other guys the same;
So though he seems to have me skinned
I'm not entirely downed,
If can get my second wind
I'll try another round!
