There is reason in all things. Often
there is much mreasonableness.
A noted New York preacher de-
nounces the entire movie world be
cause of the eXposurc of the uncIean
lives led by some of the too highly
paid stars.
We might with equal justice con
denim and denounce the entire min
istry because of the few black sheep
it contains. But we do not.
There are unquestionably many de-
cent and self-respecting film actors
and actresses. Then there are many
who are so drug sodden and morally
filthy no speed limit is able to curb
their ruinous pace.
1t is the latter class who are bring
ing discredit upon the whole movie
profession.
There is law which forbids a per-
son to advocate the boycott, and it Is
perhaps better SO. But we know Of no
restriction against decency loving
people making public announcement
Of the fact that they will no longer
patronize a movie theater in which an
actor or actress appears on the film
who is known to be of the depraved
class so much under condemnation
at the present time.
This is about the only effective
method Of fumigating the movie lns
dustry.
Raging in our homes and then shov-
ing our money through the ticket
window will accomplish nothing.
Neither will the wholesale con-
demnation Of preacher with a
single track mind.

Carrying concealed weapons is o
dangerous practice. 1t is a practice
that is entirely too prevalent, especial
ly in the larger centers Of population.
The law abiding citizen has no de
sire to carry q gun around III his
pocket, unless it be for the protec-
tion of life and property when they
are in imminent danger
The punishment should he made SO
swift and severe that the law break
er would shun gun as he would a
poisonous reptile.
Then there would be more honest
work and less lawnessness.

One Of our great railroad systems
notoriously exploited and dismally
mismanagcd, needs many millions OF
dollars with which to pay off bonded
Indebtedness soon to become due III
foreign markets.
Apparently it is too poor a risk
for bankers and other fnanciers to
consider. Hence the management OF
the road wants the government tc
make the loan which shrewd linan-
ciers cannot "see.
The treasury Of tie United States
is the peoples bank, and the guard
ians Of these funds are answerable
to the people. If this proposed loan
is too risky for fnanciers who make
business of lending money it GER
tainly is no place for the investment
Of government funds.
The public eye is watching this pro
posed deal. The people are not al
ways asleep.

dream. You are living n0sv and if you
keep lot of memories around you they
will drag you back so that you will miss
your opportunities and always be trying
to live in the past which is dead. The
past is ghost; and ghosts are bad COM
pany. They are just bad dreams. The
present moment is alive and never dies.
Catch your opportunity! Do the thing
that you know to be right at the moment
it becomes right! When the thing is done
forget it! The consequences will come to
you without YOUR help. You need not
worry about that. Then when they come
accept them as your due. Don't spoil your
opportunity by grumbling at what comes.
If you knew all the consequences of an
act you would know too much and perhaps
do nothing. 1t is enough to know that the
thing is right; and man knows that at
the moment for action, if he wants to
know it at all. If not, he will have to
learn by long experience. But the real man
inside knows somehow what is right and
why it is right.-Selected.

NOW is THE TIME

The time to do thing is the moment
that it needs doing. That seems clear
enough. But then it is so much easier to
put off doing it, and it always seems as if
it would be just as well later; so that
scme people fall into way of not doing
the thing that needs doing until it is too
late. There is a right time for every
thing and when that time comes it is nozc.
But the lazy man always wants to do
things in the future, which never comes.
So that he never does the right thing at
the right time. No! tomorrow never
comes: it is always today and the present
moment is always no1v and that is the only
time for action. The future is dream, a
fancy, guess. If thing needs doing, do
it now! To put it off is to put it out of
reach where it will always be tomorrow.
Tomorrow never comes.
When thing is done forget it 1t is
past: it is memory, another kind of

anchor ply the busy paddle-wheel ferry
boats to the islands and to Nictheroy, the
little sister city across the way. In the dis
tance tower the blue spires of the lofty
Organ mountains
Oceanward one looks down on titanic
granite mountains rising sheer from the
sea. There is bulky Babylonia, and fat
topped Gavea, like a great sail unfurled.
Between them lie Rios suburban beaches
-Leme Capacabana, Ipanema, Leblon-in
a glistening chain, their white villas nest
ling between hill and shore. The Avenida
Atlantica, which connects them, is equaled
only by boulevards along the Mediter-
ranean.
One can motor from the city to these
beaches and on to Gavea over new road
cut in the rock high above the sea, climb
to the divide at Tijuca, and drop down,
on the bay side of the range,to his starting
place in the city-a wonder circuit of forty
miles or more.
Avenida Rio Grande, Rios finest
thoroughfare was "hand made" after the
city had attained practically its present ex-
tent. In 1904 it was decided to carve this
great modern avenue out of the city, over
900 homes being sacrificed.
The avenue, more than a mile in length
and so wide that it consists of two dis
tinct boulevards separated by row of
shade trees is thronged day and night
with automobiles.
The sidewalks, the widest the traveller
is likely to find in all his world travels,
are of black stones laid in
mosaic designs, like those in vogue in Lis
bon. Both stones and workmen were
brought from Portugal but similar pave
ments, constructed later in other parts of
the city, are "home made"

TWO AMERICANS FOR TROUBLED
RUSSIA

Raymond Robins, who, in reports made
from Russia in the early part of the year
1918, performed his prodigious feat of
judging accurately the prospective official
longevity of the Bolshevist government
had never before been in Russia did not
know the Russian language was utterly
unacquainted with the expert diplomatic
world and discovered the facts of. Bolshe-
vism, and of Russia and of the folly of
trying to root the Bolsheviki out of Russia
by force of foreign armies, through an
exercise simply of the same faculty that
he used when he made his little fortune in
Alaska in the gold-felds. He left the
beaten track and went out and looked.
Mr.. Hoover is an executive and he acts
as he thinks l saw him once receiving
suggestions from a man who was having
ideas about how to handle certain prof.
ect. This man turned out to have five
ideas. Mr. Hoover rejected two and
adopted three, and as he adopted them,
he put them into operation by telephone,
by telegraph and by dictation to stenog-
rapher and had finished with the ideas at
the same time as with the man, and the
man left the room about ten minutes after
he entered it, Mr.. Hoover, if he medi-
tates on Russia, will not merely mediate
on it, He will act on the poor thing
Russia will have to become 'produc-
tive" Nobody will know better than Mr.
Hoover how the capital will have to be
got and how it will have to be placed in
order to be of economic value to Russia
He ought to be invaluably serviceable 10
this country in its rivalry with other for
eign countries in the development of Rus
sian resources and industries; and the end
of that rivalry ought to be just as bene-
fetal to Russia as the rivalry between
different groups of foreign capital was to
this country in the development of, for
instance, its early railway systems.
One may doubt if any other country has
two men better fitted for political use and
for economic use respectively in Russia
than Robins and Hoover. The politics
of Russia and the economics of Russia
will be the principal growing-po of the
politics and economics of the world. For
that reason we may soon have cause to
see that one of the most important prob
lens that will rise upon our resumption of
relations with Russia will be the new four

There is always the superb energy of
Eternity in the heart of one who does his
best. If, at the moment when this is felt,

would be revealed to him-KatHerine
