Pathos and humor, plot and coun-

excellently compounded in the new

starring win Rogers, which is to be
shown at the Peerless Theatre next
Wednesday. The story relates the
trials of philosophic inventor, Noah
Vale, who cares more about the well
fare Of two orphans he has adopted
than about the success of his invent
ion. As is often the case with i'm
practical men, his invention is ap-
propriated by another. but the spark,
ling wit that unconsciously drops
from his lips is gathered into book
form by young friend and brings
Noah Vale fame and money when all
his plans seem to have failed. Be-
sides. he is the kindly instrument in
bringing a delightful romance to frui-
ton.

once more the artificial life the movie industry
is unveiled and one more shock is given to the
Public.
The recent revelations may furnish an explana-
ton for some Of the films which have been given
to the public.
The distorted views Of life. the extrava giant set
tings the extremes of dress of situations and es-
specially, OF story, have led many to suspect that
some films were the products of drug infamed
minds
Now it develops that drug parties were a com
mon form OF entertainment at Hollywood and still
for it history that very few who get into the
clutches Of the drug habit are ever able to cast
it of.
Capitaizing a great invention. the men who con-
troll the industry who decide upon the pictures
for the public have shown no real sense Of respon-
sibflty the public.
The private morals Of those who claim first rank
in the profession have been shocking in their dis
cosures-shocking enough to take away much of
the adulation that formerly to stardom and
almost all of the sentimental value of film presen-
tations.
But the most disclosures that come to the
surface with tragedy show that Bacchanailian
orgies reached the limit of debauchery that de-
rravty widespread the point Of popularity.
and that drug degeneracy was a common trait It
will hardly be contended that film genius requires
drugs stimulant for its expression or that the
cellulod drama depends upon the distorted vision
that from opium or cocaine Surely its at
traction for the public must rest upon something
higher than desire to witness the mad dreams Of
the opium joint or the crazed fances of a morphine
eater.

der pressure Of the Arbuckle scandal. they de-
manded a moral cleanup of the industry.

certed action and they tried their best 1t seems
that their best futile and that the millonaires
who control film production have the same old dis
regard for decency and moral conditions which
they showed before the Arbuckle disclosures
The same men who hired Will Hays away from
the cabinet employ these favorites whose popular
diversion is the holding Of "dore parties"

Away back in 1857 the courts that Margaret
Folsom, then a young woman of % was a mental
Incompetent and ordered her to a sanitarium
The same court took charge Of her fortune then
S350,oo0 and directed that It be invested in enter
prtses that had no chance Of loss.
Today Margaret Folsom, so years old blind and
decrepit. and still a mental incompetent has for
tune OF two millions OF dollars
I Is quite beside the point that she cannot spend
penny Of this vast sum. has never been able to
spend has never had the intelligence to create
dollar to waste
The great growth OF this fortune was automatic
and into fits creation went nothing but caution.
There was never a thought or sending any ships
out into new seas of industry or commerce. seeking
20 create something new for mankind or to add
the total or human comfort
There was never a suggestion that a few dollars
put into struggling enterprise might revolutionize
some present form Of drudgery and release men
from toll
There never time in the 50 years when
OF these dollars had the aid creative thought
or OF daring adventure to increase and multiply
itself
The owner was a blank mind and the sole thought
and purpose OF the court was safety and nothing
more
Had the fortune in 1857 been given into the
hands OF the most alert and resourcefuI youth OF
the city OF Boston where Miss Folsom lives and he
oy daring strokes Of genius, found himself the ros
SCISSOR of two millions on his SOth birthday the

haired statesmen always gave to charity. or any
other regularity he may have developed in his jour

But since there was directing mind that

how they multiplied and grew.

him-the adjective is out Of place.
The practice Of spiritism is not at
modern; it is certainly extremely
ancient It Is a reversion to prac-
tees and beliefs which inquiry have
shown 10 be characteristic Of the
pagan civilizations. 1t was con-
demned in the old Testament. To
give Just one instance, Deuteron-
omy. chapter Is, verse 10: Neither
let there be found among you any
one that consulteth soothsayers, or
observeth dreams and Omens
nor any one that consulteth py-
thonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or
that seeketh the truth from the
dead For the Lord abhorreth all
these things" Among the Greeks
it was familiar in Homer's day. 1t
was current among the old Ro-
mans and TO this day il is common
among the most benighted pagons.
In the Old Testament we are con-
fronted by the remarkable fact that
the spirits speaking to Christ
through the mouths of those ros-
sessed or controlled" as modern
spi-itists would say were always de-
nounced by Him as being devils. He
cast them out though they pro-
claimed His sanctity and acknowl-
| edged His divinity.

has never been established and to
my mind the grave immortality OF

THE SCOUTS BIRTHDAY.

The Boy Scout organization IS u years old today
and stands az the convincing evidence OF what
can D. done with great idea.
lone kind act a day was all there of this
movement when the first little group Of boys was
gathered to adopt it as a slogan In the Il years
OF Us rfe two millions Of boys have subscribed TO
chat oath and made it a part Of their lives
Twelve years ago the Boy Scout was thought
and q hope. Today it has 4OS152 members who
wear ts uniform and who living that thought and
fuInmrg that hope. There are 10000 grown men
who are giving their services their aid and their
active support 20 these boys who enlisted under
this banner.
The movement was born in doubt and distrust.
There were those who declared that the plttng
or BOYS in uniforms which resembled the dress OF
the soldier would turn their youthful thoughts to
careers Of killing and Of organized murder.
There wcrc those who branded it un-Ameri-
can Trims which would breed class hatreds in young
hearts and rival organizations were launched
That idea was too big and too great TO be smoth-
cred by distrust or 10 Doc slaughtered by rivalry.
The H. years have indicated the great dream OF
those VINO founded and have justified by making
e a part OF the very fabric Of national life.
zone kind act "a day means something when 1t is
interpreted by two millions Of boys and young men
who have made a motto for their lives.
That movement has taken unorganized boyhood
with love of adventure. with desires for the
outdoors with IT'S fondness for srorts and turned it
into the path OF service.
To has implanted in minds and translated into hu-
man character the thought Of unseIfshness and has
driven away the tendency 20 greed and personal
proves al the expense Of others
II has gathered together the boys of the com
munity and turned their thoughts to healthful de-
velopment and clean living
Tt hes given to the youth of America a ideal
of real Amerlcanism and has fostered love of the
haE which before a matter Of only casual
growth
The success OF the Boy Scouts rests upon the
great truth that underlies its motto-the truth Of
unseldshness and Of human brotherhood in action.
This should be n great birthday party for the
nation real celebration a joyous occasion for
new strength and wider activity for one Of the
most viriIe forces In the land.

ANSWERS PASTOR.


Evanston. Ill. Feb. Z. 1922.
To the editor of The South Bend
News-Times. South Bend Ind.
Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to
letter in a recent edition Of The
Times signed by Charles a.
Thompson, pastor second Indiana
church, Order of Spiritualists. South
Bend. Ind, in which he finds fault
with n news item published in your
paper on Jan. 25th announcing the
coming production by the Joyce
Kilmer Players OF The Watcher at
the Gate" a psychological play Of
which I have the honor to be a CO.
author.
The offending article in describing
the play stated in part that modern
spiritism was the theme. 1T points
out the utter worthlessness of alleg-
ed spirit messages in a striking way.
II depicts the grave dangers of spir-
itisc1c practices and proves the So
called New Revelation to be a mon
strous fraud" In attempting TO re-
flute these statements the reverend
gentleman takes great pains to state
| ct thank God and my spirit friends
that I live in a country whose flag
/ Cand 1t is the best that foats) and
| constitution say that we can worship
| according TO the dictates of our
I conscience" just why he should be
so anxious to impress his apprecia-
/ ton of flag and constitution uron
your readers is more than l can un-
! derstand Surely the news item re-
/ ferred to did not question the loyal
/ ~ of the advocates of spiritism to
/ the constitution or the flag. This
/ waving Of the colors to my mind
was all uncalled for and entirely
out Of place I wonder If our rev.
| erend friend is familiar with what
DR.. Johnson said about people who
resort 70 patriotism in an argu-
ment.
He then proceeds TO say. "And
70 think any man or woman would
make an assertion about the spirit
ualist religion and even go so far
as to say that the play points out
the utter worthlessness Of spirit
/ messages is really beyond me. and
! 7 would suggest that they would
read the constitution OF the United
/ States and remember we are not
living in Europe" I compiled with
/ the reverend gentIeman's suggestion
and once more read the constitu-
ton. II was not at all hard for me
to remember that was not living in
/ Europe" inasmuch as my ancestors
have been citizens OF these United
States OF America for more than a
| century, but I must confess that
failed to find anything in that splen-
did document that would go 10
| prove the trustworthiness OF these
| alleged spirit mesa ges. May
| roint out 10 him that the amend
ment which grants 10 all men the
right 10 worship according to the
/ dictates OF their conscience also
grants them the right 70 differ with
each other in opinion-and the right
to express that opinion.
He also finds fault with the term
modern spiritism." agree with

Fly and you know how much Of your yearly cost OF
living Is due 10 railroad service.
one trouble with "the railroad problem" is that
30 has been presented mostly in terms OF billions
figures big that even the average adding machine
handle them let alone a family that IS think
ing IN terms OF cents a pound saved on but
ter.
Having got the railroad problem down 10 a levy
figure OF $50 year apiece the question naturally
rises What do we get for it?'
In return for the $50. the railroads perform
ice equivalent 20 hauling each American 336 miles
a year on passenger trains and carrying. for him.
ton Of freight 2.S17 miles-almost ACROSS the
continent.
Back in 1919. a normal year the railroads did
Just about the same passenger and freight service
for the average American as in 1921
The cost OF doing this about $50 a year for
each Of US.
In other words. the railroads in 1921 performed
nearly the same service as in normal times but
charged two-thirds more. The increase just about
matched the expansion Of cost Of living.
A thousand morals be drawn from
these railroad figures. The most important is that
all economic problems at ali times should be
sidored In terms of actual services rendered and
bulk OF commodities changing hands instead Of in
terms Of dollars whose buying power changs con-
stanty like eternal moving picture.

CLOTHES AND MORALS

A stad New England college has lust expelled
group of boys and girls who put on bathing suits
and went out romp the snow.
Had they waited until summer and gone to the
beaches. they would have passed unnoticed in the
crowd The immortality Of their act seems to have
been that they out season and their defiance
Of weather was also defiance Of conven-
tionality.
In Berlin. somewhat famous actress has ap-
pealed the supreme court from a fine imposed
uron her for being too economical in her costumes
Her argument is shat the great galleries Of Berlin
and Dresden filled Nth pictures of women who
less than she did in her dance Her logic is
that she is being punished for being alive and that
what is art in is also art in the flesh
The relation Of dress to morals has always been
a matter Of discussion and dissension and the
things that appear be illogical are in fact the
most logical
The irlmodest is always the unusual. The rebel
lion against convention finds its expression in the
manner of adornment The mind reveals itself
through the outward raiment.
The gowns worn by society women in the great
cities shock the sense CT proprety OF women in
places which cling to older ideals-and cause not
even passing comment among the men whose eyes
are accustomed to them.
The nakedness % the savage has in il nothing OF
immodesty because it is the customary and usual
thing
Paris. the home OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and most COM
placent towards moral standards they are known
TO America. a few years ago denounced one woman
as the wckedest girl in Paris" because she saw fit
10 wear high necked dress half
gowned companions or the boulevards To their
eyes. she advertised her own wickedness by f1aunt-
Ing the customs OF her kind
The law OF the herd is the law of life in dress
as well as IN other matters and those who overstep
the customs may expect TO pay the penalty.
Morals Is matter OF conscience and Of heart.
The civilized standards recognize enemies 10 those
standards It IS not the style OF dress but the
thought that PROMPTS the that constitutes the
