DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS In Christ, God reveals Himself more fully than ever before in His hatred of sin, in His love for the sinner, and as the Guide into all truth. Let us beware of closing our eyes against the Light, or rejecting the proffered offices of the Guide. —Dr.Robert R.Meredith. If governors of states are sent to prison, who is going to do the pardoning? President Obregon seems to have welcomed that latest uprising in Mexico to a hospitable grave. Conscience, intelligence, independence and sound judgment all should be in evidence when one goes to the ballot-box. These ill-fated miners in the Argonaut mine fought bravely for life and died bravely when Fate decided the issue against them. Well may Jackson be proud of its 47 dead miners. They went to death as heroically as men who perished in a good cause on the field of battle. Automobile speed races should be divested of needless perils. Such contests are hazardous, at best. The peril should not be compounded by recklessness on the part of drivers. When members of Congress argue with their fists implanted upon each other's physiognomies, it is time to temper the argument with dignity and season it with propriety. Bishop Fallows, of blessed memory, believed that, next to dispensing truth, the spreading of joy is the greatest thing that one can do in life. This is a beautiful conception of man's mission. FILM SPEAKS LANGUAGE UNIVERSAL Of great interest is announcement that four great motion picture figures are arranging for the distribution of their films in the Orient. Europe already has been organized by them for dissemination of American films. From headquarters to be established in Tokio, pictures made by America's most renowned stars will be sent all over Asia. The photoplay speaks a universal language. All over North America; in Central America; in South America; in Europe, and now in the Orient, and in the islands, of the sea, may be seen the Mary Pickford smile, pout and curls; the Douglas Fairbanks gymnastic gimcracks; the Charlie Chaplin walk and cane-twirling; the weird, mystic, thrilling creations of David W. Griffith. Other famous stars, too, speak to this far-flung concourse of humanity in both hemispheres. This world-wide vogue of American-made pictures leads a dignity to production and should be inspiring to great artists of the screen. It should prompt them to give of their very best, so that America, its art and its ideals, may be interpreted creditably and faithfully to the world. BIRD-LIFE PROTECTION International protection for birds is about to be effected through the efforts of the National Association of Audnhon Societies. A committee representing the United States, Great Britain, France and Holland has been formed to look to the safeguarding of birds in these four countries and throughout the world. Persons of world-wide eminence are interested in the movement. One of the perils to bird-life arises from the use of oil on ships. In harbors and bays oil is dumped on the water, causing the death of ducks and other shoe birds in large numbers. A bill pending in congress would prevent this oil-dumping so far as the United States is concerned. The British Parliament also is planning protection along this line. "I'm just like stockin's," complements t-day, "I start t begin t droop Another drawba t support is th cline so many When members of Congress argue with their fists implanted upon each other's physiognomen, it is time to temper the argument with dignity and season it with propriety. Bishop Fallows, of blessed memory, believed that, next to dispensing truth, the spreading of joy is the greatest thing that one can do in life. This is a beautiful conception of man's mission. The tragic death of those 47 men in the Argonaut mine made the whole civilized world tenderer as the news was flashed over continents and under seas. God will work good out of that visitation, horrible as it was. Bishop Fallows believed in being optimistic and in abundance of exercise in the open air. He lived far beyond 80 and was vigorous of mind and body to the last. Optimism and fresh air are a combination hard to beat. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING EAST HAS ITS ADVANTAGES Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Said the westerner back from a long motor trip: "One expects a Kansas man brag of Kansas, a California-man to be a 'fan' for California. One expects of a New Yorker or a Bostonian a certain kind of cold contempt of everything west of the Hudson River. But when in Geneva, N. Y., I met a man who was a fan for New York state I was somehow surprised! He was full of enthusiasm not only for his own town, which is one of the few really beautiful cities that have come from the hand of man but also enthusiastic over his whole state. "One could live in a lovely little city," he said "and know one's neighbors—yet in a night be in a lovely wilderness. Fishing and hunting and farming and business and medical research and grand opera and good roads—New York state has them all." The Westerner listened and was amused. He knew New York City. He bought a tent and a frying pan and went out to see New York state and came home tremedously impressed. The natural beauty and cultivated dignity of the Finger Lakes region were a revelation to him. In the Adirondacks he drove for days thru wilderness hardly broken by human habitation. He gasped on lonely mountain lakes in scenes of desolate grandeur that ate into his soul. He emerged to the Northwest upon a land-of-fat farms rolling down upon the great St. Lawrence—a noble stream, he declares, if ever there was one. And all through, everywhere, in rich rural country or God-forsaken solitude, ran the good roads, state-maintained. "We've got to hand it to 'em," concluded the Westerner. "'We haven't got quite everything in the West. The East, too, is worth seeing." STEINWAY Ordinary pianos are built in six weeks. It takes six years to make a STEINWAY.

WOULD YOU LISTEN? If you are the recognized leader in your line in the city— "ATCH YOUR MAIL" EDITORIAL NEW YORK, Sept. 25—Human beings spend their fortunes in pursuit of all sorts of things, some of them most unsatisfactory if they are finally obtained. So Sammy Hollander, aged eight, was doing nothing strang when he expended all of his worldly possessions upon the pursuit of a dog which he was certain must be homesick. The dog came into his possession when a man kicked it out of an automobile, but the other day it ran away. Sammy got together 21 cents and started out. His last nickel he spent on a ferry and was trudging on, haggard but undiscouraged, when a policeman found him and telephoned his family. He had been hunting for two days, with only an ice cream soda to eat. That had been bought by a sympathetic man who heard his story. I always loved the story of the child's essay on the flag. She told how George Washington said, "We ought to have a flag." But no one seemed to get one. Then Betsy Ross said, "We ought to have a flag. Here, father, hold the baby while I make one." There is a woman here in New York who reminds me of Betsy Ross. For years people have been saying, "The motion pictures ought to be improved. They have possibilities of high art." One day, Mrs. David Allen Campbell said, "The motion pictures ought to develop their possibilities for art. Let's make them do it." Whereupon, with no more fuss, she brought together a group of women interested, as she is, in art and music. They incorporated, got the kind of scenario they wanted for a first production, and are hard at work. As Chairman of the Music department of the National Council of Women and editor of the Musical Paragraphs By Robert Quillen Life is just one darned detour after another. The greatest enemy of law and order is one dead-letter law. Sophistication is just a slow and painful process of getting fed up. College: An institution that operates in conjunction with a football team. To say that virtue is its own reward is to intimate that vice pays a profit. The difference between statesmanship and politics is that we still have politics. Nearly all the No. 13 collars are sold to men who use that insulting tone of voice when talking on the phone. Most of the things men fight for could be purchased with the money expended in the fight. We may yet find the portraits of pretty men placed in cigarette packages to encourage sales. After all, about the only difference between this and earlier civilizations is in the speed limit. An educated man is one who can distinguish between a Greek letter fraternity and a Chinese general. The more things the customer calls for, the better the merchant is pleased. Until he calls for a blank check. Let's see; wasn't Greece the little country that thought it could grow great without any advice from the Allies? Northern California farmers will burn peach pits this winter. Save your grape seeds, boys. Four days ought to be Fair enough. PEON PANTS The youth who laces his pants, tra-la With bells just aft of the knees, is fixing himself up a chance, tra-la.

Tra-la-la-la-ah. The pants that bell at the knees. We hope the long skirt fad hits Sacramento next spring in time to let the legislators get a little work done. It's an ill window that shows nothing worth seeing. Miss Mary Campbell, chosen at Atlantic City as America's prettiest girl, says she has never used cosmetics. "Wouldn't think she'd have to," says Li'l Gee Gee, the office vamp. In Los Angeles, a speeder hit a seven story building. They say he claims he blew his horn. We hear the Ohio politician who doesn't expect to run for president has consented to see a physician. DISEASE "Sure, I'm willing to prescribe beer for you, but 1 can't think of any disease to name in the prescription." "Make it hydrophobia, Doc."—Wayside Tales. Li'l Gee Gee ordered combination salad the other night—but didn't get it. The chef had forgotten the combination.

WISE AND WITTY When you are killing time, time is killing you. Honesty comes in two varieties—the real and the political.

For years people have been saying. "The motion pictures ought to be improved. They have possibilities of high art." One day, Mrs. David Allen Campbell said, "The motion pictures ought to develop their possibilities for art. Let's make them do it." Whereupon, with no more fuss, she brought together a group of women interested, as she is, in art and music. They incorporated, got the kind of scenario they wanted for a first production, and are hard at work. As Chairman of the Music department of the National Council of Women and editor of the Musical Monitor, Mrs. Campbell saw an opportunity for education along the lines of better music along with better films, and so they are going to specialize in the production of the "film symphony," a synchronization of screen drama and orchestration. The first one, "The Soul of the Violin" is ready for production. They have taken offices at 1425 Broadway, are capitalized at $500,000 under the name of "The Dramus Producing and Releasing Company, and have interested some of the most practical business men and women as well as leading club women and musicians of the country. The Bloodhounds of the Law. I have read dramatic stories of federal crimes in which the U.S. Secret Service never ceased in its search until the guilty man was found; but never before did I know of a plain, ordinance breaker to be hunted by an equally plain policeman in such a way. Two years ago Adam G. Waich, of Brooklyn, was arrested for speeding and gave the wrong address. Palroman George Campbell remembered him and has been on the lookout for him ever since. He traced him to Port Jervis, and the other day went and arrested him once more, this time bringing him right along at his side. Many students of the theatre consider Marie Tempest the most finished comedienne of the age. After a long absence abroad she is appearing in New York in Arthur Richman's, "The Serpent's Tooth." Certainly her comedy is most subtle artistry, and the criticism that one hears most often is "How sincere and natural she seems." This fact would be born out in a story that is going the rounds, to the effect that the first actress who was asked to play the part of the ingenuue in the play, with whom Miss Tempest, as her prospective mother-in-law falls in love, was not familiar with the lines, and when Miss Tempest said the line, "You are such a sweet innocent dear." It came as such a shock to the girl that she choked in laughter while smoking a cigarette in rehearsal. Miss Tempest ordered her part filled by some one else, which would indicate that she demands the same sincerity of her players which she practices. Our own opinion is that Eve had to work her tear glands a little before Adam finally agreed to eat the core. The alien must remember that those of us who were born on this side also have a few rights under the Constitution. Still, there might be even more causalities it wives should develop the habit of protecting the honor of their homes. Habit is a great thing, and the retired farmer is abroad at 4 a.m. in order to get an early start waiting for bed time. Correct this sentence: "Just use your own judgment," said the wife from the back seat; "I never like to give advice to the driver." If you live to a ripe old age, you may get your picture in the paper; but some people accomplish that by being rotten while young.
