Character and the Movies

Dr. II. F. Newsholme. medical officer of Croydon,
England says that many spectators are hypnotized
by watching motion pictures. "The darkness con-
ccntrated attention and the stimulation of one sense
by bright light" he explains, 'tend to produce a
hypnotic condition. Intense films may penetrate
to the subconscious mind and affect the character OF
the observer"
The controversy the possible good and bad
effects of the motion picture has hung fire for a
considerable time However, DR.. Newsholme and
xthers often fail to consider that not only the mo-
ton pictures but everything else that see, hear
think or do may penetrate to subconscous mind
and affect character.
N Our mental and physical experiences, together
with the experience of others related to u.s. given

Editorial Comment
Studying Our Possessions
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The commission issued to Colonel Carmi Thomp-
son appears to be somewhat more comprehen-
sive than originally announced in the press The
study which President Coolidge is asking Colonel
Thompson to make will not be confined to the Philip
pines to economic conditions, but will embrace
both political and economic conditions in all of the
United States possessions in the Pacific.
The natural resources of the American possessions
in the Pacific not nconsderabc and if our trus-
teeship of these possessions is to be faithfully per-
formed these resources should be properly devel-
oped. AS for the political future of the Philippines,
General Wood and Cameron Forbes reported in 1922
that the time had not yet arrived when the question
of turning the islands loose could be seriously
sdcred That still holds good; but it is well that
the changes in the political aspirations of the Fill
pinos should be carefully watched and sympathet-
ically analysed.
America is still young, colonzing power,
and has much to learn. So far it's colonization ven-
lures have been credit to it. Only by constantly,
sympathetically and intelligenty studying the
terial with which it is experimenting the success
which has thus far attended it's efforts be indef-
nitey extended.

BrOOkhart Is Out
Chicago Tribune)

The senate has decided that Iowa elected Dan
Steck, Democrat, to the senate and not Smith
Brookhart, the radical Republican. The vote was
close. Forty-fivc senators thought Steck was elect
ed and forty one for Brookhart. Party and
fractional lines had not great deal to do with the
result. Senators who never had voted together be.
fore except motions to adjourn in respect to some
body's memory found themselves the same side.
La Toilette with Smoot and Borah with Pepper.
Nine Democrats voted against the seating of DEM
Ocrat
Sixteen Republicans voted against their party
man. Most Of them conservative Republicans
who felt that tame Democrat would do the Re-
publican party less harm than wild Republican like
Brockhart, who knows party discipline. Posi-
bly, they were right, but we doubt it.
Brookhart started out in the senate as wild man,
but he has tanned down considerably. Maybe he
has been his coed behavior of recent months be-
cause he the vote his election just ahead OF
him, but we don't think So Washington tames the
wociest of them. The mild climate, the ease and
dignity, the nceties of social life, and especially
family ambitions, conspire against irregularity. A
senator has not one but six winters in Capua.
One Ct the hardest jobs in the world is to pre-
serve an attitude of hostility to the established order
and live the life of 4 senator in Washington. Few
men have managed to remain off the reservation.
Most Of them keep the home folks happy by an oc-
casional rampage that gets into the papers. The
rest q ~ time they are regular enough.

Youth and Hell-Eirc

- It now begins to appear that, despite the fondest
predictions of certain reformers and various bodies
dedicated to the upt Of the human race our you,..
people are not going to eternal damnation as rap
idly as they implied
New York city is big town. where you'd think
yo"th would have plenty Of chances to stray Yet
Tor the last 10 years decrease from II to G8 in
Juvenile cases of delinquency per 1000 of population
was recorded
And Chicago. Why, had thought from all
the talk, that bringing girl and boy up in Chicago
was just like sending them to hell without chance
But it seems that Chicago recorded similar de-
crease in delinquency
- The same reports come from other cities-Wash-
lngton, Boston, Buffalo, New Orleans, Richmond
Providence and other cities, the figures being based
on study by the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department Of Labor.

pretty well able to take of themselves. Now,
how about their older sisters and brothers?
