TTAvE a letter today from Rev. S.
Kistner OF Mission, who takes
us and all newspapers to task
for printing bathing beatty pictures
and stories Of such crimes as that
charged TO A. D. Payne OF Amar-
lilo.
Father Kistner Is right from his
view point, but he hits upon a sub
ject Of debate among editors rank
ing along with which was first. the
egg or the chicken. and Just about
as hard 10 settle as an argument
over religion.
But as we have said before. the
tendency Of the newspapers today
is to give more space 70 science and
church affairs, but still the people
flock in thousands to see their
bathing beauties and they like to
see their pictures, especially Of the
winners. II one can disregard the
sensuous, a beautiful woman is the
greatest work Of art from the hand
Of the Creator, and some one,
we believe, has said a thing
OF beauty is a Joy forever. Whether
the public does disregard the SEN
suous that might be there is a
question.
There are two sides TO the mat
ter and we cannot argue it, for one
gets nowhere by argument. ANY
way, we would not presume 10 ar
que with Rev. Kistner. We always
feel a minister knows more about
those things than we do.
The engineer Of this column be-
lieves that If enough people do not
like what is going on they Will stop
the action. IL Is an old question
Of whether a puAic hanging acsS
as an example and reduces crime.
or whether the excitement has the
reverse action. The idea OF the
newspaper is to tell the people
what is going on and let the peo-
pie decide what they shall do about
IL. We may be all wrong. and
thank Rev. Kistner for his letter.

pictures the pictures and their
effect in the world. She has some
things to tell which should gain
serious thought from those who
look for and hope for the best in
the world.
One outstanding point in her ar
ttcle is that while the silent screen
had an appeal to the entire world.
the effect and reception OF the
talkies are yet 70 be seen. Because
Of the language not being under
stood by all, she holds the pictures
will lose some Of their worldwide
effect. She holds that moving pic
