LITTLE CRIMES; BIG
PENALTIES.

The law does not take into consid-l
Grafton the size of the crime, always.
The other day a 23-year-old New YORK
girl was convicted of grand larceny,
the extent of her crime being that.
she stole a pocketbook from another
woman containing five cents. She
was caught in the act, the story says
and turned over to the police. The.
judge gave herea sentence Of five years
in Auburn prison.
The point about all this is that the
law looks upon crime in broad and
unsentimental manner. The mere
theft of five cents would not seem
to warrant imprisonment for five
years, but the law looks little be-
yond the size of the theft and per-
ceives the possibilities which might
have been within the power of the
convicted girl.
Little crimes not infrequently bring
overtowering penalties. 1t looks as
though sufficient object lessons had
been furnished to warn men and wom-
en- Of the consequences of misdemean-
ors but police still manage to keep
busy because people will not learn an
impressive truth.-Canton News.

We may learn much from time to
time about the needs of such changes
as have come with what we term
tragedies and catastrophes. 1t is one

lands and change the surfaces from

land and Change of the waters TO
renew the surfaces of the lands so
the organic life inhabiting the lands
may have new soils to provide sus.
tenance. Here is another evidence
of the cycle action, and what We term
disaster never comes to the entire sur
face of the world. only to portions.
because another of Natures laws. is
her extreme extravaganza and her lack
of consideration for the individual.
Nature is lavish in every aci. Ma

When the coast Of California will

of another great world disaster can
not at this time be determined but
should there be another terrific dis
turbance such as visited her a few
years ago; it may result in the great
est catastrophe of all history and a
shock to the entire peoples of the
earth.
Let us hope that this may not come
during the present century, but let us
be at all times prepared to look upon
these acts of Natures laws as indis.
pensable for the benefit of the living
things on the earth and realize the
wonders of such geological plays is

LETTERS TO THE LIGHT

ing's address. delivered at colorado
Springs in July, 1928. We would
ali be brothers as we should be. The
speech is as follows:
Il tell you, my countrymen. the
| world needs lore of the Christ; the
world needs more of the spirit OF the
man of Nazareth. If we could bring
| into the relationship of humanity
among ourselves and among, the ma
lions of the earth the brotherhood
taught by the Christ we would have
restored world; we would have lit
tie or none of war, and we would
have a new hope for humanity
throughout the globe"
'sIf we are going to make of this
!, America of ours all that the faith
ers sought, if we are going TO make
it true to the institutions for which
they builded, we must continue TO
maintain religious liberty, as well as
civil and human liberty. As You re-
member. we bu;lded on the founda-
tons of civil liberty, and we capped
that with the stone of human liberty,
and the third fundamental was re-
ligious liberty. The United States
never can afford to deny religious
freedom"
Il should like to have America a
little more earnest and throughly
committed in its religious devotion.
We were more religious a hundred
years ago, or even fifty years ago,
than we are today. We have been
getting too far away from the spirit
ual and too much absorbed in our
material existence. 1t tends TO make
a sordid people,"
"One of the troubles with the
world today is that it is torn with sus-
picion and hate. Europe is in a con-
dition of feverish restlessness and is
feeling the effects of the poison en-.
gendered by old-time passions, envies
and rivalries, so that one people will
not trust another. Would it not be
better if somehow we could bring
into the lives of those nations the
spirit of Him whom the Father gave
for the salvation of men and exerted
ourselves to spread brotherhood and
new trust and new confidence among
people so that they may live in that
| fraternity which tends TO solidify and
cement together mankind?"
IF we could bring the golden rule
into every phase of American life
we would be the happiest people in
the world.
There would be no injustice to
complain of, there would be no more
hate and no rivalry; there would be
no industrial conflicts, but human be-
ings would live among their fellows
as they would like to be lived with
That would bring state of blessed
ness to mankind"
This is the way our late president
felt about our great country, and that
speech will still be here when we are
all dead and gone.

WANT ANOTHER LAW.

To the Editor:
1t is an old saying and / think a
very true one, the big fish is eating
the little fish and there should be
something. done, if possible, to prevent
such a thing, for it is getting worse
every day. 1t has gotten so that
any person that has only few hun
dred dollars that wants to go into a
little retail business of any kind. to
try to make an honest and respectable
living for his family, has no chance
whatever. because the big moneyed re-
tail dealer can buy such large amounts
of goods at time and get it at such
q low figure. he can sell it at retail
cheaper than the small moneyed re-
tail dealer can buy it at wholesale.
This is not fair, right or just and
ought not to be allowed and l can
only see but one way in which this
thing could be remedied and that is,
for each state in the Union to make
law that any small retail dealer in

POINTING THE WAY.

Luis Firpo is phenomenal We do
not expect TO find a great husky
Orulser in South America, and when
one comes out Of South America with
the declared intention Of making our
own pet North American bruisers look
like three dimes we are compelled to
81 up and take notice. If Senior
tlrpo confined himself to mere brag it
would be nothing remarkable. But this
man from the Argentine does more
than brag. Already he has gone long
way toward making good.
Senior Firpo, like Monsieur Coue.
was once a druggist. His temperament
and physique are different from those
of the French gentleman who visited
our shores. and he is not making
speeches or staging demonstrations
merely for the love of mankind. Senior
tlrpo is after money. He desires all hi
can get. and all he can get he is going
TO Keep. In this respect Senior Firpo
provides an innovation and sets an
example.
The Argentinian ex-apothecary has
no manager. He is a self-confident per-
son. and is convinced that he does not
need to be managed. The sad story of
Shelby will not soon be forgotten. The
"pugs" themselves cannot escape a
share of the resentment which the
public feels toward the too much man.
agerized prize fight business.
\ pugilist without a manager is in
deed pleasing phenomenon, and We
hope that Senior Firpo will stand firm.
And he seems to be firm young
man. II. by some miracle. the Argen-
tinian prowess of Senior Firpo were

any kind of business could buy any
kind of goods as cheap as the big re-.
tail dealer. For instance, if the small
dealer could not afford TO buy more
than one case of anything in the
| original package, or anything by the
dozen or the 12-dozen, so long as II
was in the original package, he could
buy it, just as cheap as the rich per-
son could buy it, who took 100 or
1000 cases, packages, dozens or gross.
This would give the little fish
chance.
A law could be made in case any
wholesale firm was known TO sell any
kind of goods to the rich retail dealer
cheaper than 10 poor, small dealer,
simply because he could buy II III
large quantity, the wholesaler would
be subject TO heavy fine and jail
sentence besides, if necessary.
Now, there is no doubt, but there
will be a lot of the big fish that will
not agree with me and make a great
howl. but the dog that bowls is gem
orally the one that gets hit. The
United States government is the peo--
pie and the people are the United
States government; the state govern
ment is the people and the people are
the state government and there should
be such laws made that are the best
for all the people and not allow any
special privileges TO anyone and equal
rights to all. This is right in the eyes
of our Creator. 1t is not money that
makes a man or woman, in this world.
1t takes principle and it is not al
ways the position or the office that
one may hold that makes the man or
woman. This las been proven TO be
true many times over in the past.
The wholesale dealers would sell just
as much goods as they do now if not
more if there were such laws enacted
as l speak of, because all the small
| retail dealers that are now in busi-
ness could remain and it would be the
means of lots of others going into bus
mess that would not otherwise and II
would also be the means Of lessening
crime because there are many of to-
day that will invest their little sums
OF money in business of different kinds
and they find out that they cannot
compete with the prices Of the larger
firms and they see that they are los
ing their little amount of money, all
that they have on earth. and they will
gricve over it, so that finally many of
them are just forced TO do some dis
honest act. or will commit suicide to
get out Of it ALL.

than great riches and loving favor.

DANGER ON WEST COAST.

% i o Il Tie r<ultol
Following the terrible catastrophe
in Japan and which was one of. II
not the greatest tragedies in his
tory, with the appalling loss of life
and property it occurred TO me that L
should, at this time. call attention
. TO the possibilities of condition
which may come at any time to those
inhabitants along our western coast
and especially California, anticipat-
ing the hue and cry offthose who still
believe thata Supreme Being is loath
TO punish the peoples of the Earth
for their sins, by such disasters. 1t
is beralded to the country that Los
Angeles is the abode of those who
have "stepped off" from the paths
of rectitude. socially, not all, but
many of them.
1t has been predicted. that they
would meet their punishment. by
many religious teachers, but Nature
NAV take a hand in this at any time.
II may be centuries away or it may
be near Mt hand and in order to get
TO the bottom of il. not attribute
such n disaster to an Omnipotent Be
ing but to the real cause. one of Ma
lures method for rewriting the sur
face of the earth for the inhabitants
thereof, l an writing this article.
For many years | have held to the
opinion there are dangers which men
ace the western coast of California.
The tremendous speed of the earths
revolutions on its axis, travelling at
the rate of over thousand mile per
hour from west TO east. such speed
that no piece of machinery made by
man could sustain, results in flex-
ing and folding near shore. of the
rocks and earth crust. along the west
ern border of the continents. 1t will
be noted that the western coast noun
tain range is the baby. range of Amer
lea. the Rocky Mountain range next
and so on TO the eastern coast.
This action to the west is taking
place constantly and at times becomes
catastrophe in its violence. Such
was the cause of the earthquake in
California some years ago and just
lately we are told of the discovery
of n new range of mountains slowly
raising their peaked heads towards
the surface of the ocean to the west
of the Californian coast.
1t is but a question of time when
this range. of mountains will show
their ragged peaks above the surface
of the Pacific in an extension north
northeast by south-southwest and TO
what extent they may rise will all de-
pend on the power behind the thrust.
1T may continue through many CEN
turtles or it may come as another
catastrophe. with such force and
throw, that the coast of California
with her prosperous cities and gar
dens. her oil wells and productive
farms. will be no more.
There are deep bains in the Eastern
Pacific as is found near the Japanese
Islands. These are responsible in
large degree for the turmoil and dis
turbances so prevalent around them.
in this regard the coast of California
is very similar TO the conditions pre-
vailing off Japan and REPETITION

DISAPPROvES A PICTURE.

To The Editor:
In reading the very interesting edi-
torials in The Light, Something Of
which avail myself the pleasure
each day, they being a source of en-
]ightment), one of the present week
namely, Shadow and Substance,
held my attention, possibly for the rea-
son, the present era seems to be less
critical OF the substance, than of the
shadow.
i am referring to the exhibition OF a
moving picture, which although tenn
ing with suggestive sensuaiity, held the
screen tor an entire week, with no re-
strictions, everyone able to pay the
price eligible. Not alone is the litera-
ture put forth by this writer indecent,
but the screen versions are corrupt
and immoral, and any theater guilty
of showing such indecent pictures
should be tabooed. One might have ex-
pected to see such picture at motor
ious theater, but patrons CT our new
est and most IN TO date play house ex-
.pect something decent tor their time
end money. Usually .one goes to the
theater for relaxation and pleasure.
Certainly, not anyone could have
emerged from the Palace theater, any
day during the run of Elinor Glynns'
Six Days" screen version either re-
freshed or benefited. Rather were they
ashamed and feared the possibility OF
meeting some of their friends who
also might have been victims.
A federal district judge of Hunt
ington, w. Va, became incensed at
the appearance of only a newspaper
cut of the -Firpo fight, which
though the sport may be brutal, was
entirely free from sensuality, the pic
lures being only the shadow OF the
substance. The real fight, which as
the editorial notes, did not call forth
any condemnation.
The case seems to be reversed i'll the
screen incident. The literature. which
has had some censure, taking the
place of the shadow and the picture
the substance.
There is little use for a censorship
when a long-suffering public allows
such pictures to hold the curtains an
entire week without howl of protest.
have not interviewed anyone who has
seen this picture who did not condemn
it as corrupt and indecent.
The subtiety of the screen producer
is equal to the subtlety of the author,
in interspersing the sacred and beau
tiful with consciousness and immoral
ity. The theater managers insist they
give the public what they demand. If
this. be fact, then truly are we deter
iorating.
Back 20 England with Elinor Glynn
and her foul art. Let us not contamin-
etc the minds Of our youth with such
pollution.
What's the matter with the fathers
and big brothers associations that we
lear no protest from them? Is it only
apathy or do they give approval to
such pictures?
! would be remiss in appreciation ii
/ should close this letter without some
comment on a picture shown the pre-
..yious week Mt the Rialto theater,
'irpenrod and Sam" truly splendid,
elean and enjoyable picture from
which one came away pleased and re.
freshed and would gladly recommend
to others. Especially was it fine pic
ture for children.
Let all good citizens enter a pro-
test when bad picture makes its APP
pearance. Stand by the censors. They
need your help.
Yours for clean pictures.
