HE BIRMINGHAM 4eE-HERAID MoND1Ys OCTOBER 27, ie24

A roaring furnace, into which all immoral and character-destroying films can be tossed, is one of the prime re quisites of any censorship board which attempts to provide America with "clean" moving pictures, Dr. George R. Stuart declared Sunday while dis cussing the Birmingham visit of Col. Jason Joy, executive secretary of the public relations committee of the Mo tion Picture Producers and Distrib- utors Association of America.
 The work being done. by Colonel Joy was hailed with great acclaim by Dr. Stuart, who, himself, is one of the most bitter foes in the south of pictures which end to tear down the barriers. be- tween morality and immortality.
 "The optic nerve is so times larger than any other nerve carrying informa- tion to the brain. The eye, therefore, is the most important sense organ of the body" Dr. Stuart said. Pictures have always been an important factor in shaping life and destiny. A pie ture is attractive alike to all ages and to all conditions of culture.
 'sThe discovery of the art of rroduc- ing moving pictures, produced new era in the moral world. More changes have taken place in moral conditions since the discovery than in any past period of the worlds history.
 "The pulpit, the press, the platform must yield to the moving pictures as a character-building institution. And most forms of vice must yield to moving pictures as a haracter-destroying in- stitution, when used wrongly.
 CensOrs Necessary
 "Censoring moving pictures reminds me of an old story of the fellow who attempted to clear up a small creek by dipping the water out. A friend in- formed him that if he would clear it. self up. Censorship, of course, is neces- sary. It points out to use the dangers, but the real work must be done at the head of the moving picture busi- ness.
 Moving pictures are not produced principally for the good or evil they may or may not do, but for the money they produce--the money, in large amounts coming from the boys and girls they corrupt When money is the object and is to be obtained by selling tickets at the door, we may be well assured that the pictures will be pro-

ENSLEY SOUTHERN
 SHOWING INCREASE
Arrival Of Imports In Birming-
 port Adds To Volume

Traffic on the Ensley Southern rail road between Birmingport and Ensley is increasing at a highly satisfactory rate. Imports recently arriving at Bir- ming?ort have added considerably to the volume of business. Industrial il- terests in Birmingham are aiding the line as much as possible.
 It is understood that so far no plans have been perfected for the line to be taken over, under lease or otherwise, by local interests. It is reported, however, that plans are progressing between the Inlanl Waterways corporation, the re- ceiver for the Ensley Southern and Birmingport interests calculated to bring about an adjustment satisfactory to all concerned, and of decided benefit to the Warrior barge service.

MURDERED BABY HERE
Milton Was Serving 1S-Month Sentence
 For Burglary


 John Milton, negro. who was a trusty at a convict camp at Morris, is accused of staying the baby of Mrs. Collins with. an axe on August B. after striking the mother over the head when she re- pulsed his advances. Mrs Collins later recovered.
 Large posses combed the swamps in the vicinity of the attack for days, but the negro made good his escape. Nu- merous rumors of his capture were in- vestigated, but. always the wrong man had been arrested.
 Milton is believed by officers to have been supplied with money and food by friends in Birmingham, and thus was enabled to remain in hiding and finally to leave the state.
 The negro had almost completed an 1S-month sentence for burglary when he disappeared from convict road gang.

of incubation at the present time, due solely to the efforts of the local com mission. By importing king salmon eggs from Ketchikan it is believed that the process of propagation can be hastened. They are not being imported as a result of scarcity of fish, as the commissioner evidently believes
 Every Alaskan desires to work with MT. O'Malley in the conservation of the salmon supply, and must do so if tley are to have any fish, but long residence here has convinced every ichthyolcgist that the local plant has not diminished the supply, as the es- exponent is so great that ample fish ascend the streams The local cham Der believes that the closed period could be reduced to 4S hours and not reduce the fish escapement to any considerable extent. If this is done, while it will cripple the local plant to certain extent thedamage will not be irreparable.
 Commissioner O'Malley has agreed to leave the matter open until furtb CT data is received and by energetic action the crisis may be averted, but the general tone of the letter indi- cates that there is little hope O. do ing more than shortening the dura- ton of time.

THE SALMON SITUATION

Fish Commissioner OMalley's let terday was in the nature of a papal bull. It left it's hearers no choice but to obey the rulings of the com mission, because it is a ruling of the commission. We have no fault to find with Mir. O'Malley for doing what he believes is right. He un- doubtedly has caused a great increase in the numbers of fishes in Alaskan waters and has caused considerable agitation of the turgid stream of un- rest permeating Alaskans. The can neries he purposes to stop from fish in this division owned and financed solely by Alaskans. They have just started operating and have hardly reached the clear in installation eX- penses. The ruling by the commis- sion will do more to discourage Al askan investments than anything yet brought up MT. O'Malley claims to have seen no fish while here in Aug ust, which is probably correct, but this does not indicate that fish do not crowd these streams, as the middle of October showed salmon there in large numbers. Probably shortly af- ter the commissioner visited us the fish run commenced. There is no doubt that the lakes at the heads of these streams do shelter spawning fish in great numbers, as they may be seen any month in the fall. The stream leading to Bear lake is full of brush and stumps and cannot be seined efficiently to secure spawn ing stock.
 Commissioner Ellsworth stated last spring that he did not expect to have the Grouse lake hatchery ready to propagate fish this season, and yet two million fry are in the process

Too many wild rumors over conditions in Alaska are being permitted to trickle to the avid ears of Outside pessimists. Not only An- chorage, but the whole railroad belt is injured by them. Unless we be- lieve with all our hearts that the rail- road district is advancing rapidly in population and inducements to home seekers we can hope for little growth. When you write Outside tell your friends we are all right and ask for nothing but to be let alone.
