Jury was far too enent and said that Yavapa county ufes

LAUGH THIS OFF!
(Bisbee Review

The Motion Picture Producers
and Distributors of America have
asked the people of this nation to
observe January as Laugh
Month" You can believe it or
not, but we have before us a writ
ten appeal to the press to let the
people know about the plans of
the motion picture industry to set
aside an entire month for facially
expressed gayety. OF all the
months in the year, why did they
choose January? Who can honest
ly laugh at coal bills, Christmas
shopping bills, snow and sleet? We
smile radiantly during the Yuletide
season, howl in unrestrained glee
as the New Year fades into a more
promising 12-month (the next year
always is more promising) but on
January 2, as the bills begin to
fill our mail boxes the smiles and
hilarious, joyous laughter turn to
froWnS and grumbleS! why not
make December thrift week, when
we deny ourselves all luxuries?
Why not set aside Easter week as
"no-egg week. or Thanksgiving
week as "Turkeyless Week. There
would be just as much sense in
these selections for special OBJ
servances as there is in designat-
ing January as Laugh Month. ;"
However, if the motion picture in
dustry had waited until some time
in the first part of January, 1921,
to make the appeal it would have
been assured of one unanimous
hearty laugh from the nation as it
dug itself out from under bills and
snow.

Kenneth G. Ormiston has been

G.. Ormiston in captivity and ne in

trouble he can in fighting. He has
said as much, and Kenneth is
truthful. Wasn't he radio operator

gion? He could be nothing if not
truthful in that case.
But the fact remains that Ken
meth has acted worse than pot
Ticker hound dog He ran away

staggered YEARLY back in new
shoes from the toftures of stay
in the Kingdom Of Kidnapary. He
has since written sundry letters
calling the Carmel cottage YER
sion bunk and declaring the
"FOur-Square" preacher innocent,
but he invariably failed to give
his address in such missives.
81 He had to- be hunted down,
trapped. Now he says he will
fight. Queer way for a truthful
radio operator to act, even if his
wife had sued him for divorce and
named Aimee as his new fancy
even before the Carmel-by-the-Sea
romance. That's the report.
It's no more certain than GER
tain that Kenneth was mixed up
in the affair. His conduct very
strongly indicates some cOnnec-
ton. 1t is to be hoped he will tell
or be made to tell what he knows
for the sake Of getting over with

WTAsHINGToN-Col, Frank L.
w Smith will find himself as
welcome in Washington as
a porcupine at petting party.
The senator-elect from Illinois
has refused to climb into cyclone
cellar pending such time as the
tornado which threatens him
might subside to zephyr proper
tions.
This has served only to increase
the resentment of the majority of
Republican senators who have de-
cided that Smiths primary cam
paign fund record is too odorifer-
Gus to be condoned.
Insurgents and Democrats,
unanimously lined up against al
lowing Smith to become sena-
tor, are inclined to welcome his
decision. 1t will give them op-
portunity for some very high
powered oratory.
At this writing it appears that
far less than a majority will vote
to allow Smith to remain in the
Senate.
There is to be a fight on wheth-
er Smith will be allowed to take
his seat and then expelled from
it or whether the Senate will re-
fuse to allow him to come in.
ANE school of thought favors
the former course. if only on
the theory of ,orderliness and
dignity.
But whether the unwanted
guest is backed down the front
steps as soon as he rings the door
bell, or whether he is allowed to
enter the parlor1 and then given
the ''bum's rush." the result ap7
parently will be the same.
The SIPS, 600 contribution made
to Smiths primary campaign fund
by Samuel insult, the Chicago
public utilities magnate, repre-
sents the bar sinister which mas
led many OF the most rock-ribbed
mem bers of his party in the SEN
ate to turn against him in his hour
of need.
Smith was the head of the llll-
nois public utilities commission
and the question of fayorltism is
inevitable.
