The progressive movement in Wash

and will result in is exactly the same
way former attempts at third party
domination have resulted. There
will always be a great republican

third party movement in a desire for

Thinks Fatty as Clean as Other Pic

In trying to score a point for Fat
ty" Arbuckle Joseph M. Schenk, a Los
Angeles producer, and champion OF
the screen regardless of morals, prob
ably made broader statement than
he intended when he said:
'sHe is as clean as anyone in moving
pictures today"
If that be true, Heaven help the in
dustry, and pity the public for patron
izing such filth.
Go up and down the scale from Lib
ertine Arbuckle to Dope Fiend Reid
and it does seem a disgrace that the
films cannot be freed of such hazards
Maybe a new class of producers would
heiD some.

A Question of Morals,

England, on January 8, will hang
Mrs Edith Thompson and her para
mour, Frederick Bywater for the
murder of Mrs. Thompson hus-
band last October. Mrs Thompson,
early in the year, will become a
mother She will be the first woman
hanged in England for thirteen years.
Should the crown await the birth of
the child or hang the woman with the
child unborn? The first conclusion
would be monstrous. 1t would con-
yict the crown of murder of an limo
cent
We believe the crown will await the
chilJ's birth and then hang the moth

kish sentiment in the case of husband
murder as are the Americans.

a Fair shake From Above.

Present indications point to a
change in political parties in 1924.
This does not mean, however that we
shall see any great improvement. The
fact is, as we see it, that the Ameri-
can people have not had fair shake
in It's governing authority since Theo-
dore Roosevelt left the White House.
Taft was we'll meaning but hopeless
~ lacking Wilson was no less We'll
meaning but arrogant, spiteful and an
autocrat Harding-judge for your
self.
Once in a while and particularly IN
great emergencies, democracy like
ours produces a great man. Abe Lin
coin, according to all tradition, was
such man and Teddy Roosevelt, we
firmly believe, was another. Between
the mile posts of these heroic figures
trudge a number of well meaning but
mediocre presidents with an OCCASION
al change for the better.
Not that single fine man can Go
everything Far from it. But he typ
ities and symbolizes the best effort
for all the people and the general
spirit works for better things.

SmmntnarY LEGISLATION

y
Those who cry in holy horror over
the failure of the eighteenth amend
ment and who howl in sterterouS
tones over apparent laxity in morals
and general disrespect for law. are
poor students of history, weak NOR
alists and have little knowledge of
democratic principles as applied to a
free government.
X is said and truthfully said that
President Harding and those around
him are alarmed over the enormous
failure of enforcement to do with the
prohibition act. They ask; "If the
people do not respect and obey this
law, how soon will disrespect and
disObey all laws?" The question is
vital one.
Moral law, not particularly depend
ent upon statute, will not suffer.
People do not refrain from killing
other people because the law tells
them not to but because they know
murder to be fundamentally wrong.
The same rule applies to stealing, vice
and a hundred other things prohibited
by statute but kept down by common
sense
The eighteenth amendment falls in
the class of sumptuary legislation.
II implies that certain conditions adj
mittedly with evil aspects can be
wiped out at one stroke and that
people can be made moral by statute.
All laws that arbitrarily establish GER
tain edicts without consulting the re-
gard, custom or interest of the people
are sumptuary laws The prohibition
law may be of the highest moral
trend but it does not apply to the NOR
al law as most people see it. 1t con-
seguently shares the same fate as q
law passed by the Puritans prohibit
ing the wearing Of silks or partaking
of Injuries Those who have been
used to a drink and who see no harm
in it are not going to be very keen
about helping enforce the prohibition
act
The purpose of law-making bodies
should be to pass laws that will meet
with the support of the average citi-
zen rather than his dislike or antago-
nism. Then being common sense and
in line with fundamental moral law
such Legislation will be supported.

The ideal is hfes ozone; without it
we sicken and perish But the ideal
exists only by virtue of the imagina-
ton. without whose vivifying force
life would degenerate into mere exis-
tence. Imagination, in its best estate,
is as the star of Bethlehem, guiding
the sincere seeker after truth; per-
verified, it becomes an ignis fatuus,
hiring its deluded victims TO ruin
without remedy Selected.

Two Confess to Taking Cars for
Joy Riding.

Five youths, Is to 10 years of age,
are held in the city Jail in connection
with many recent reports of stolen
automobiles. Automobile accessories,
valued at approximately $3.50, have
already been recovered and additional
parts are now being sought By plain
clothes men.
Two of the lads, detectives reported
Saturday forenoon, had confessed to
participation in theft of cars. The
youthful prisoners deny the theft
of any automobile, saying they would
use the cars during the night for
Joy riding" or for the purpose of
theft Of some pat. The accessories
in a number of instances were con-
verted into cash by cheap sales.
1t was the action of these youths,
detectives say, that was responsible
for the increase in reports of thefts
of automobiles during the last two
weeks. With but few exceptions, the
majority of cars reported stolen have
been recovered, the youths abandoning
them when they so desired. The cars
were usually found the following day
on some outlying thoroughfare BY po-
lice.
The apprehension of the boys was
brought about through the cooperation
of officers of the San Antonio Auto
mobile League and the detective de-
partment. The capture of one of the
lads by the Automobile League Of
ficers was followed by the arrest Of
the others by Detectives Green, Har-
ris, Norton and McMurray.
One of the boys taken into Gus
tody was recognized as a youth for
whom local probation officers were
seeking. He was turned over to the
juvenile department. Formai charges
are held in allegiance pending the clear
ing up of thefts and the return of
property to victims.

IF you must have them" he re-
sponded in a stupor. Il shall never
forget the inauguration of President
Monroe. At that time the White

was held in big open field along side

PLEADS FOR SUPPORT
LABOR OWNED PRESS

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. lin his
annual report to the State Federation
of Labor, President Hall made this
plea for the labor press:
II do not know of anything that is
brought into our unions that is dis
cussed more for its unfairness and
unjust criticism than is the public
press. Every trade unionist realizes
that he can not get much consolation
or friendliness for the labor move
ment in the daily press Of the coun-
try, and yet the only avenue of infor-
nation that is most friendly, that
speaks fairly for the men and women
Of labor is the labor press, which has
the hardest row to hoe. hope that
the delegates to this convention,
when they return to their home cit
les, will endeavor to stimulate an in
terest that will make it possible to
have a larger subscription among the
membership that may awaken a
greater interest among the men and
women who work"
