HIS UPLIFT JOB

The motion picture system IS IN need OF a tonic
and a reorganization. If viii Hays can be ply
stefan. surgeon, trainer, counselor, guide and
friend, all rolled into one, he is the man. There
are many indications that the motion picture
magnates have picked the winner But the mag
mates must stand back and permit their wonder
man to work his marvels or picking him will have
been in vain.
The debasing of pictures by INSCRIPTIONS and
ignorant producers has gone as far as safety will
allow. The turn should be quick and complete.
Actors and actresses would rather appear in
decent pictures than in indecent ones, and the
audience would enjoy them more. A world Of
entertainment of an exciting kind is waiting to
be explored by motion picture producers possess
ing real imaginations. Adventure, invention, the
wonders of the material world, the realms of
fancy, are all virtually unexplored by many pro-
ducers, who persist in the crazy notion that the
public demands filth. If this were true, the lib
raries and picture galleries of the world would
bear witness to it, whereas the fact is that in
decency can not survive in the competition with
wholesomeness and decency.
The motion picture producers should beware of
the teeth of the law in making combinations in
restraint of trade. They should not try to con-
solidate everything. That plan would not work
with the railroads or the steel mills, and it will
not work with the movies. But VIII Hays knows
these things; now let him apply his knowledge
for the uplift of the screen. - '''.' -

Be Generous And
Also Be Pleasant

The campaign for the S. D. Lee
High School Library will be put on
for one week, beginning this morn
ing at nine o'clock.
We understand, having been reliab-
~ informed, that the school must
spend a certain amount for books
each year, or else lose its rating as
an accredited school.
We are sure the people of Column
bus are ready and willing to con-
tribute generously, not only to keep
our school on the accredited list, but
also for the great good which our
children and the whole community,
through them, shall reap through a
larger and better high school library.
They need more books and more
copies of certain boOks-bOoks which
are used by the students in doing
parallel work. Several students doing
parallel work want TO use the same
book at the same time. What a use
less waste of time if the students
have to wait, wait, wait for a book.
Let us not be discouraged by the
many campaigns which have been put
on recently. The person who grumb-
les about the multitudinous cam
paigns for worthy causes-causesI
which mean a bigger and better COM
sometimes the person who
passes the buck" when it comes to
putting on the campaign. No, he IS
too busyl And doesn't contribute
when it is put on by others.
When it comes to campaigns Tor
worthy causes. "Let US not grow
weary in well doing" 1t will come
back to us ten-fold.
Make up your mind as to the
amount YOU should contribute-every
citizen should contribute something
and don't detain the ones who do
the soliciting. Above all. receive
them and dismiss them with a smile.
BY request only,
