"THE BLOT IS A STORY
OF POVERTY INFLICTED
BY AMERICAN PEOPLE

Lois Weber's great drama of
pride and sacrifice, THE Blot,
which opened its local showing
yesterday at the Lyric theater and
which is being repeated today. tells
a story of the great poverty in
flicted by the American people
upon the school teachers of the
nation. 1t is a heart-throbbinS
perturbation of a situation recent
ly commented upon in the newspa-
pers from coast to coast, regarding
the scant salaries provided for the
members Of this profession.
Professor Griggs, an underpald
school teacher, is depressed and
worried over conditions existing in
his immediate family. With his
small salary it is impossible for
him to provide sufficient food and
clothing for his wife and sick
daughter. The daughter, Amelia,
finds employment in the public Ii
brary and it is there that she meets
Phil West, a son of the idle rich
and one of her fathers pupils.
West falls in love with Amelia and
when he learns of conditions ex-
listing in the teachers home he ap-
peals to his father for aid in rails
ing the old professors salary. West
casts aside his gay night life and
devotes his energy to making the
Griggs family happy. Mrs. Griggs,
Respondent over conditions, is on
the verge of turning thief, when

New York, April 30--New York's

The Giants, backing UP effective

week and although idle. gained
half game today while the Cubs
were being trimmed, 10 to 0, by
the Cardinals. Proof that the
Giants have the punch is their rec
ord of an average of thirteen hits
and eight runs a game last week.

hold of the lead until today when

BREAKING 1T GENTLY

The Grand Old Party believes
in breaking it gently to the tax
payers.
For several months the Repub-
lican press agents in Washington
have been sending out reams of
publicity OH how the Harding adj
ministration had effected savings
to the taxpayers Of the stipend
GUS sum Of 300 millions Of dol
lars.
Then close upon the heels OF all
this publicity the national admin
istration floated a bond issue of
500 millions of dollars. Some
economy, that. Paying off 800
million dollars and then immed-
lately plunging into debt 500 mil
lions more.
But that is not the end.
Saturdays daily papers car
ried a dispatch from Washington
which read in part as follows:
"a government deficit Of
nearly OOO,OOO,OOO next fiscal
year confronts the administra-
tion, it was disclosed today by
estimates of budget officers. The
president and his advisers are
said to be considering recon-
mending new tax proposals to
congress.
The story went on to assure the
wealthy contributors to the G. O..
P. campaign fund that "there is
mo thought Of urging any in
crease in the present scale of in
come taxes"
If the Harding administration
is so far behind financially that
they must float a 500 million dol
lar bond issue just on the eve of
the election and then follow that
up with the announcement that
they are still billion dollars in
the hole, how much will they ask
the taxpayers for when the elec-
ton is overt

Most people would have a great
deal more respect for the Hyde
administration if the governor
and his followers had the courage
to stand upon their own records
and not attempt to deny the
things they have done. There is
no avoiding the facts. The rec
ords show that the taxes in rural
Missouri have been increased and
heavily increased by the Hyde
administration and attempts to
deny and ''get out from un-
der" are disgusting and coward
ly. Whether we agree with him
or not we can admire and respect
the man who does what he be-
lieves to be the thing to do, when
he courageously assumes the re-
sponsibility for his own acts, but
when he makes a grevious error
and then attempts to deny or
evade his responsibility he justly
merits the contempt in which he
is certain to be held.

Where ever Governor Hyde
has control of the police Of a city,
the "hard boiled, bring 'em in
on a slab" stuff is being literally
practiced. There have already
been several scandals in the Kan
sas City and St. Louis police de-
partments, and now the citizens
of St. Joseph are demanding that
Governor Hyde remove his Re-
publican police commissioners Of
that city. This is the result OF
the killing of an innocent young
girl by the st. Joseph police.
The killing Of several other inno-
cent people are charged to the
police. What does the Governor
mean when he pirates Of Claw
and Orderi'"

TOO LATE

Republican politicians are
brazenly denying the truth of
the figures published in last
weeks TIMES showing the in
crease in taxes in Bates county
in the past two years and we are
informed they have prepared
propaganda to contradict these
figures which will be published
in the Republican papers of the
county this week.
We do not believe that the tax
payers Of Bates county will be
deceived by any last minute tax
alton propaganda. For months
the Democratic newspapers have
been calling attention to the
heavy increases in taxes result
ing from the Hyde policies, and
the Republicans have failed to
respond other than by vague
general denials. Although the
taxation records of the county
are in the hands Of the Republi-
cans and would have been avail
able to them at any time in order
to show that taxes had not been
increased they have failed to do
so, and failing have admitted the
truth of the accusations Of in
creased taxes.
Does any one believe that if
taxes in Bates county had been
reduced the Republicans would
have waited until the week be-
fore the election to proclaim the
fact and to back it up with the
figures from the records.
Of course not. Had taxes ac-
tually been lowered every Repub-
lican paper in the county many
ago would have carried
complete and detailed statements
from the county records boasting
of these reductions and pointing
with pride to the achievements of
the Republican party. They
would not have waited until the
closing hours of the campaign to
have produced the evidence.
