HESTER, Editor Baltimore rate-In South Baltimore, Oct. 1920; Six months, $1.50 Edward at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. Freedom is one pole, license is the opposite pole. Just as men are more given now than formerly to settling their quarrels without bloodying each other's noses, so nations are approaching that happy day when arbitrament of reason, rather than of the sword, will settle international disputes. When the masses of people in every free country resolve—and persist in the resolve—that there shall be no more wars, there will be no more wars. The people are supreme as to the issues of war and peace if they choose to make and to keep themselves supreme. The second trial of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle gives indications of being more sordid, salacious and disgusting than the first hearing. The details of these trials are so nauseating—so unfit to be read in homes or in any place of decency and refinement—that they should not be printed and circulated. The work of the teacher is the concern of the whole public. Good work in the schoolroom should be appreciated by the public. The teacher is working, not solely for himself, but for the whole community. Her efforts are not primarily selfish, but are essentially public-spirited. Give her the credit and the salary that she deserves. Athletic power in high schools, colleges and universities is something worth while and deserves encouragement. But sometimes something should be about scholastic achievements in these institutions. There are a great many students who do not shine in athletics, but many of whom are exceptional in scholarship. There should be more publicity. PANAMA CANAL HAS BEST BUSINESS YEAR Shipping through the Panama Canal during 1921 was greater in volume than in any year since the great waterway was opened. This in spite of the fact that worldwide business depression prevailed throughout the twelfth month. Canal tolls for the year totalled $10,325,718, an increase over 1920. The Panama route is sure to be used to enormous extent in world commerce. The stage of international relations and developments is being set for extension of commerce in the Pacific. Meanwhile shipments by water between the two coasts of the United States steadily are increasing in volume. As economic conditions throughout the world become readjusted and stabilized and as the march of economic progress is resumed, traffic through the Panama waterway is sure to expand. The canal has demonstrated its inestimable economic value to the United States and to the world. Its importance will become greater as commerce increases and as new commercial fields and new trade routes are developed. CRIMINAL GANGSTERS TO SERVE FIFTY YEARS When "Spud" Murphy and his notorious gang were convicted for an atrocious attack upon two girls in San Francisco and were given an indeterminate sentence of from one to fifty years in the state prison, some cynical persons remarked that those hideous criminals soon would be released. But their cynicism was misplaced. The State Board of Prison Directors has decided that Murphy and Edward Kruvosky, another member of the gang, each shall serve fifty years—the full limit of the indeterminate sentence. Athletic power in high schools, colleges and universities is something worth while and deserves encouragement. But sometimes something should be said about scholastic achievements in these institutions. There are a great many students who do not shine in athletics, but many of whom are exceptional in scholarship. There should be more publicity about them. There is nothing like honest, steady, well-directed industry to relieve the world of ills. It was not so many months ago that Herbert C. Hoover pointedly told Europe that the best thing it could do was to go to work. It is at work, for the most part, consequently there is no famine, except in Russia. Self-help is the best kind of help, and it leaves a person or a people self-respecting, not feeling pauperized. FIFTY YEARS When "Spud" Murphy and his notorious gang were convicted for an atrocious attack upon two girls in San Francisco and were given an indeterminate sentence of from one to fifty years in the state prison, some cynical persons remarked that those hideous criminals soon would be released. But their cynicism was misplaced. The State Board of Prison Directors has decided that Murphy and Edward Kruvosky, another member of the gang, each shall serve fifty years—the full limit of the indeterminate sentence. This will strengthen respect for the law. There has been a great deal of criticism of the frequent patrolling or probating of criminals in this state. The impression has prevailed that penalties really inflicted have been entirely too light. There has been the feeling among law-abiding people that dangerous criminals, once convicted, soon are turned loose to repeat their crimes. It is reassuring that occasionally there should be cases in which this criticism cannot be made. Have you heard what Studebaker did for 1922?

The latest to follow the example of Henry L. Doherty, who established the fashion, are Percy A. Rockefeller and Sir Ashley Sparks, head of the Cunard line in this country. Soon the Wall street district will surpass Fifth avenue in the Social Register. And at the same time it is getting harder and harder to get resident superintendents for those tall buildings "Their wives object that it is too cut off from any social environment," explained one agent. "They don't like to feel that they are surrounded by acres of dark, empty offices on every side and nothing else when they sit down in the evening." G. Thyberg, superintendent of the old Produce Exchange is dean of the downtown coffee dwellers. He lives in the picture-esque red brick tower of the exchange at Broadway and Beaver street, in the heart of the new millionaire colony. "It's true there isn't much social life," he says. "But there are compensations for us of the older generation. For one thing, it's quiet. This is the busiest place in the world in the daytime, but by seven o'clock in the evening, it'as peaceful as the country." Mrs. William Milholland has given a house in the country to the League of American Pen Women, as a memorial to her daughter, Inez Milholland Bolssevain, the noted suffragist. A Manhattan family moved out to New Rochelle the other day, and took with them the old negro who had cleaned rugs for them in town for many years. It was evidently the first time he had ever worked in the suburbs, and an hour or so after he had been told to sweep the carpets, he appeared at the door in distress. "Ah'm willing to sweep these cahpets," he insisted, "but how does Ah get to do roof?" One good million dollars was offered to Mrs. George J. Gould if she would follow the example set by a few other social lights and act for the silver screen. Mrs. Gould, however, not only is in a position to scorn a million, but evidently hasn't the slightest ambition to display her talent and her charm for motion picture audiences, and the ambitious producer was unable to persuade her. Mrs. Gould has appeared in the films taken at Georgian Court, the Gould estate, which are shown in her private theatre, in the great Lakewood establishment, and it was the excel- Buena Park News BUENA PARK, Jan. 11.—(Spl.)

Gould if she would follow the example set by a few other social lights and act for the silver screen. Mrs. Gould, however, not only is in a position to scorn a million, but evidently hasn't the slightest ambition to display her talent and her charm for motion picture audiences, and the ambitious producer was unable to persuade her. Mrs. Gould has appeared in the films taken at Georgian Court, the Gould estate, which are shown in her private theatre, in the great Lakewood establishment, and it was the excellence of her acting in them that led to the offer. In our city, democracy is democracy and authority is authority. We give way to no one, prince or potentate. That explains the serious accident, which befell Prince Louis Alfonso de Bourbon, in crossing Broadway the other day in the middle of a block. The red auto of "Smoky Joe" Martin, Deputy Fire Chief, was rushing north to a fire and although the driver almost caused a wreck to avoid the pedestrian, it was too late, and he was thrown under the wheels. There are disadvantages to the actor who plays in a "revival." He must not vary too emphatically from the one who played the part before. Sometimes that's hard work. Take the case, for instance, of Edmond Lowe, who plays "Little Billie" in the new production of Trilby at the National Theatre. In real life he is almost as large as George Nash and Joseph Allen who enact "Taffy" and "The Lafrd"; but he must appear diminutive beside them because, of the physiques of the original cast, some quarter of a century ago. Seldom has the art of make-up been more wonderfully applied. But makeup couldn't accomplish it all. He wears spring heels of course, but the serious thing is that he has had to fast, absolutely fast, to acquire sufficient slenderness. "I am hungry all the time," says the pathetic Mr. Lowe "and I am a man who likes to eat." Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. Get our prices before you buy Poultry Supplies J. E. Schumacher Co.
