A Banner Year

A Banner Year
DR.. VIM. A. Evans, writing i'll the
Chicago Tribune OF January 7 says:
Il have before me the weekly re-
ports of the United States census of
flee, showing the health in the large
cities in the United States, in which
live 27,S00,000 people, the reports OF
the public health service, those OF
various city and state health depart
ments, and the reports of life insur-
ance companies on the health and
death rates of their insured.
They all indicate the same thing.
They predict clearly that when the
figures for 1921 arc all in they will
show this to have been a banner
year.
Figures referred to above arc given
in detail as follows from all article
printed in the Chicago Evening Post.
The present year is the healthiest in
the history of both the United States
and Canada. according to up-to-date
life insurance company mortality rec
ords submitted to the fifteenth an
nual convention of the Association of
Life Insurance Presidents.
These records, covering the deaths
of policyhclders in thirty-seven lead
ing American life insurance COM
panies for the first ten months of
1921, were presented by Third Vice
President Robert Lynn Cox of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany, who said they indicated a low
ering Of the life insurance death rate
from 9.5S per thousand, in 1920 to
S.24 per thousand, in 1921.
Applied to the population of the two
countries, as whole, these figures
mean $4,000 less deaths than last
year, which year itself had much
lower mortality than was experienced
III prior years.
Figures for ten months of the year
1921, supplemented by what we know
OF our mortality experience as it has
been running since Oct 81, show that
the United States and Canada as a
whole, will close the year 1921 with
lower death rate than has ever been
experienced by these countries in any
calendar year of their history.

Newspapers Should Help

The newspaper on account OF its po-
sition of opportunity should today be
one of the most aggressive agencies
looking towards the realization OF real
Prohibition. If instead OF coloring
the facts to satisfy their own desires
in the matter they would print the
truth both in favor OF Prohibition and
against it without bias the people
would soon see that the question is
settled. They owe it to the govern

CAN'T CENSOR 'EM
Movie Censor Boards Without
Authority Says Hopkins.
All Censorship Power Rests in
State Board of Review.

Motion picture censor boards ap-
pointed by city councils. welfare board
or other local organizations have no
legal authority to specify what films
may or may not be shown many town
or city in kansas. An opinion to this
effect has been drafted by Attorney
General r. j. Hopkins in response to
an inquiry. 1t was pointed out that
q number of cities in Kansas, usually
thru their municipal welfare commits
Sions, have censorship boards and in
some instances they have claimed the
legal authority to prohibit the show
ing of certain films which had been
passed by the state board of CEN
sors. ~
Municipal welfare boards are estab-
E3hed under state statute. They are
given certain statutory powers which
have been variously interpreted as to
the motion picture censoring. The
statute establishing the welfare boards
was enacted in 1915, two years before
board of review. was adopted. The
state board is composed OF three mem
bers, and sits continuously in Kansas
City. Kan.
The attorney generals opinion, in
part, follows:
The duties of this board, among
others, is to place upon each film or
reel which has been approved by the
board, their mark of approval, which
shall read as follows: Approved by
This board also has the supervision
of all folders and advertising matter
and posters accompanying the various
pictures approved by them.
The law further provides that no
other approval stamp shall be per-
mitted on any pictures to be displayed
in Kansas other than that of the
board. These rules are clear and con-
vincing in that they state the Kansas
state board of review is the sole and
exclusive determiners of all motion
pictures to be exhibited in the state
of Kansas.
ST am, therefore, of the opinion
that the city welfare boards cannot
prohibit motion pictures being shown
in their respective cities. To permit
the various local welfare boards to
censor and prohibit certain kinds of
pictures in their respective cities would
materially demoralize the motion pic
ture business within our state, and
ultimately result in no regulation
whatever"

Pacific yards, shortly before IL
o'clock Sunday morning.
Just as the train started to make
the turn from the westbound Union
land bridge, the engine left the track,
followed by the baggage and mail
cars, and the front trucks of the first
coach. The engine plowed along a
distance of twenty-five or thirty feet
into the soft dirt but did not turn
over.
One theory of the accident is that
the engine climbed rail while there
is a rumor afloat that the frog" had

New Ruling on Wireless Broadcastins

given notice that the property rights
of press associations and newspapers
in news which may be open to ap-
preparation by wireless broadcasting
stations must be protected. He says
he is in favor Of strict regulations and
| control of such matters, and has de-
cided to call a conference of broad
casting firms and representatives of
press agencies and newspapers with a
view to reaching solution OF the
much vexed problem.
How far the lifting of copyright
and non-copyright matter from the
newspapers and press associations for
wireless use may be permitted said
Mr.. Kellaway, lis most important
question. The representatives of
newspaper enterprises have pointed
out that it would be intolerable to al
low broadcasting firms to lift the
matter. Unfortunately from, the pa
pers and spread it to the public. They
have rightly said that news was not
dead thruout the country for a con-
siderable time after it's publication,
and that their property rights in this
news must be safeguarded."
The postmaster general said he was
impressed with the arguments of the
newspapers and press associations,
possible to issue regulations protect
ing their rights. 81 see no reason
why some agreement cannot be ar
rived at between the newspapers and
the broadcasting firms" he added,
''altho I admit there is cognecy in the
copyright information the broadcast
ing plan will set up a new form of
competition with the news agencies
and newspapers"

M p. to Go Before p. q. C.
The Missouri Pacific railroad will
be required to come before the Kan
sas public utilities commission to show
cause why it should discontinue some
of its passenger trains in Kansas, Gov.
H. j. Allen said today.
Attorney Brown of Atchison, coun-
sci for the Missouri Pacific railroad,
Informed members of the public utili-
ties commission today that the reason
for discontinuance of trains was the
depletion of rolling stock at the Sc
dalia shops" Governor Allen said.
THE Missouri Pacific owns its own
coal mines and quite apparently the
price of coal could not be the reason
for taking off trains. If the railroad
needs coal, the Kansas mines can fur
nish all it wants. The Kansas mines
are turning out 100000 tons of coal
monthly. No railroad in Kansas need
discontinue service because OF lack of
coal or of protection for its workers.
