"MEANEST MAN"
KEEPS MONEY OF
EMPL0YE, CLAIM

Another "meanest nam in the
world' has been mearthed accord
ing to a story told today hy Eddie
Gonzales, II years old, who is at
present held in the juvenile depart
ment at the county jail, pending IN
investigation of the story he told
to Probation Officer Swanson.
Gonzales states he was employed
for eight weeks on n ranch near
Calipatria, picking cotton and each
week received check from his en-
ployer, fer his wages, which amount
ed to approximately $40, He would
cash the check at store, and upon
leaving would be accostcd by his
employer, who urged him to let him
have the money, saying he wonld
pay the youngster in full at the end
of the season, and needed the money
at that time for supplies.
Each week during his employment
this happened, Gonzales asserts, his
employer only allowing him one
dollar for spending money. At the
end of eight weeks, Gonzales de-
manded his money and the rancher
~refused to give it to him, and ul-
timately forced him to leave the
sranch.
Gonzales then complained to Swan
son and asked his assistance in OBJ
tanning the money due him.
In discussing the ease this morn
ing, Swanson stateG Nc believes the
boy Is story, but will find it diff
cult to recover for him, inasmuch
as the rancher holds the checks
(which he gave to Gonzales, each Of
(which bears the latter's endorse
ment, and is legal receipt for
wages.
He has notified the state labor
commission of the affair and has
asked their aid in recovering the
boys money.

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CAR
TON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
My Dear Leslie: After reading the
enclosed letter which / have just
received from Jack. I sat a long
while trying to decide if my first
impulse-which was to send it to
you-was a good one.
have not lived to be over thirty,
dear Leslie. without realizing the
terrible risk a man runs when he
tries to be the deus ex machina in
the married life of two people.
These two people may be his dear
est friends. as Jack and you are
mine. His impulse may be as mine
is, only to create a better under
standing between them-to promote
their happiness. and yet his judg-
ment as to how to so about it may
be a mistaken one.
However, l am going to trust to
my impulse and send you Jacks let
ter. / do not think it needs much
comment.
l must, however. give you a few
of n mans reactions TO It. other
wise. l am afraid that after reading
it you will be as much in the dark
about Jacks personality as you are
now.
In the first place. Jacks letter
was written to a mana man who
had know him intimately all his
life-a man who had been his friend
through good and evil report. a man
who knew him so well that he could
not lie to him. man who loved him
so we'll that IT was not necessary
for him to lie. Consequently you
are seeing the real John Alden Pres
colt without gloss or polish.
When he writes. II pride myself
upon being a regular fellow, never
break my word to any man." and
adds, II sometimes break my word
to a woman. because she asks such
impossible things" he only reiter-
ates the whole rule Of conduct Of the
average man.
He lives up to his code and that
seems to me to be the only thing
that counts He does not realize
that your code is something so diff
ferent from his that his rules of
conduct can never be understood by
you. He is always astonished when
he finds you do not know the least
thing about his motives Of action |
or he reactions to them,
That he just as surely mist nder-
stands yours is quite as patent when
you read: Isn't it perfectly aston
ishing, sgd, how implacably unfor-
giving a good woman can be-"
Leslie, that is the cry Of a sur
prised and disappointed mana
man who has been given the hard
righteous judgment Of a good wo-
man when. because she is a woman,
he has expected only the softness
Of sentimental mercy.
There, I did not intend to write
as much as this.
Say a little prayer for my godson
when he is asleep. The prayer of
a mother to the One who never
sleeps is always answered
Your real and true friend, I hope,
SYDNEY.

IND0RSERS In
SESSION HEAR
MILTON STILLS
PhotopIay Star Tells Indiana
Women What Is Wrong
With Movies.

The dearth of good stories. the
lack Of enough good actors. the
present level Of public taste in
pictures, and too much censorship
are paramount things which hamper
the growth of the motion picture
industry" Milton Stills. prominent
motion picture actor, said at the
annual convention luncheon Wednes-
day of the Indiana Indorsers Of
Photoplays at the Claypool. Si1s
was guest Of honor.
How can art have half the
colors swept off the pallet and still
give an adequate sense of life? That
is what censorship does sometimes.
The motion picture industry is
still in it's infancy-its pre-Shakes-
peare stage, just as most OF the
literature before Shakespeare's time
was leading eventually to the master
hand. 1t Is my hope and belief
that this unique medium of express
sion, created and developed here in
America, will some day find its
master hand. and we will have mo-
ZION picture classics. Some day some
man Will suffuse the commercial
with the artistic, with poetry AMI
