SUCCESS OFTEN TOO EASY

Los ANGELES. Feb. 9.-Thc recent
murder of William Desmond Taylor,
motion picture director. has caused pub
lie interest to turn toward the motion
picture colony in Hollywood here and
numerous inquiries about that colony
and the life of its people have followed.
Hollywood is the general name as
signed to a section of Los Angeles lying
about eight miles from the downtown
business section. Many motion picture
studios are scattered through Hollywood
and thousands OF persons from IA: classes
OF society are employed in the studios.
Where so many types are gathered
there are all variations of character and
morality. Some OF those who come to
the lots as humble extras succeed be-
cause OF some trait OF personality in
reaching stardon almost before they
have become known generally in the
industry itself Sometimes it is real
ability that drives them upward.
spend All They Make.
When people spring from poverty tc
aff1uence, often in q few weeks, their
mental equipment is not always equal tc
the strain They have money. an un-
accustomed toy, and they spend 1t In
bizarre ways. Many OF them spend al
they make. One male star testified in q
divorce court recently he was getting
500 a week. He said he had 500 In
bank ss pay day had just passed. that
he had three automobiles, an extensive
wardrobe and no other assets.
Many OF them come in from other
work. in which habits have become fixed
OF them. In the pre-prohibition day:
there were many Country clubs and
all night restaurants that drew a heavy
patronage from the ranks Of motion pic
ture people.
Sometimes they drank great deal
sometimes little. Since prohibition came
In many OF them who had no liquor
stocks turned to other stimulants. Tho
dealers in illicit drugs found a growing
clientele.
These various conditions have caused
property owners in Hollywood and ir
other sections to look on some motion
picture people with disfavor when they
seek 10 rent property. Owners have ever
advertised rental property with the
phrase mo movies wanted and il
many instances leases are made with the
provision that ell damage done by the
tenant shall be repaired.

In the recent issue of Hearst's Ma
gazine Walt Mason, in scathing
article turns the literary light on the
courts of this country and very ably
shows where the ideas of Justice is
fracial joke in many cases and where
often what would be made to appear
as Justice is as far from that as the
distance from pole to pole. Many
cases can be seen by a blind-man
with cane. Recently up in our sis
ter county Of Randolph man was
tried for murder, he had been tried
previously in the courts of the county
where the crime was committed con-
victed and sentenced to Is years in
the penitentiary later brought to
Randolph County for re-trial and this
trial resulted in hung jury of about
ten to two in favor Of conviction, at
his second trail in this court, this
murderer was set free. At the same
court a moonshiner from Weaverwho
confessed to his crime, the father of a
family of about seven small children
was sent up to the big House, for
a term Of five years. 1t does seem
that such freaks of Justice as these
would make our courts seem more
like play-houses than Courts where
Justice is to be melted out to Prince
and Pauper with out fear or favor.

TROOPERS ENFORCING
ROAD SAFETY LAWS
FEW OF THOSE ARRESTED FAIL

An instance of the efficiency of West
Virginia state troopers is seen in
record of LOT convictions out Of a
total Of la arrests made during the
month of September, according to
Colonel Jackson Arnold, superiuten-
dent Of the department of public
safety. The record was made by troop
ers on duty at Huntington and con-
tituted wholesome campaign against
violators of traffic laws in that city.
Every one Of the arrests was for driv-
ing without licenses or for failure to
have the proper lights.
The Huntington detachment which
made the arrests comprises Sergeant
w H. Pittsburg and Troopers Earl
Bray, z. w. Taylor, W. G. Brown and
Elmer Stepp.
Seven of the ia arrests ended in
appeals to higher courts. Fines netted
from the 107 offenders who pleaded
guilty totaled 81, $3.50, including costs
of $3.50 assessed against each one.
The state police of other sections
are also busy enforcing the traffic laws
as is evidenced by reports of arrests
for speeding, blocking the road, park
ing cars wrongfully, using the spot
light illegally or running with the
muffler cut-out open.
