In six years the English parliament passed fifty-six general laws and 246 special acts. In the United States the fifty-six Congress alone passed 30,000 bills and resolutions and 17,946 are still pending. Note the difference and consider that the laws passed by the British parliament represent the entire output of the British Isles, while those passed by Congress are supplemented by the output of forty-eight state Legislatures. The senator thinks this condition of affairs sheds considerable light on the reason why law meets with greater respect and is more easily enforced in England than in the United States. Our country, in this mad output of laws, is sacrificing the thing that gives laws weight and force and compels respect for them. The wholesale making of laws cheapens all laws. Reduction of taxes would enhearten the people, encourage enterprise and give momentum to constructive progress. Excessive taxation is a deadening economic influence. EARTH MEASURED AND ITS EARTH MEASURED AND ITS MEASURER DIES The irony of Fate was in this. John Fillmore Hayford, director of the Northwestern University College of Engineering, died just as his measurements of the earth were accepted as international standards—a signal honor. He measured the earth. But he had to go the way of the earth. His great mind comprehended the mighty problems of this physical planet. But he was called, as the great and the humble are all called, sooner or later, to pay the last debt of Nature. He measured and weighed the earth. But the Creator called him to higher realms where measuring and weighing planets is but an incident in the Divine plan. How great and powerful is man! "How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!" And yet, while the soul of man walks "the serene and shining pathway of the stars," his mortal body returns to dust. The great mind that measured the earth with exactitude has passed to other realms, while the body that templed that mind and soul is resolved to dust to become a tiny part of the great physical planet which this savant measured. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." The bounds of democracy in the world are wider today than ever they were before. Too many laws, with many of them unenforced, bring ali law into more or less disresteem. The average American would be so much better off, in body and mind, if he or she ate less. Narrow, intolerant, bigoted political partisanship is fading out in this country. Well that it is. Los Angeles Limited PARAGRAPH (By Robert Quillen) A swat in time saves 9,999,500.

The son of a doctor, he was born in a frontier home on March 26, 1867, and christened John Gutzon de la Motte Borglum. He studied art in San Francisco, in Paris, in Spain. His exhibitions in the U.S. went without recognition until, in London, the Duchess of Manchester lauded his statues and watercolors of the American Indians. Then he harnessed fame to his abel statues of wild horses, and won the gold medal in the St. Louis Exhibition of 1903. His works are seen annually by many hundreds of thousands of people. He produced the General Sheridan equestrian in Chicago; the Sheridan equestrian in Washington; the colossal head of Lincoln in the rotunda of the United States capitol; the large bronze group, "Mares of Diomede," in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; a statue of Lincoln in Newark, N. J.; statues of Mackay, Beecher, Algeid, Vance, Huntington, Aycock, scores of marbles and many memorials. On Borglum's statue of Lincoln in Newark, the late Colonel Roosevelt passed the canonical criticism: "Why this doesn't look like a monument at all." Always Borglum has been active in public affairs; he helped the farmers of the northwest when they erred for better prices; he investigated, at the request of President Wilson, inefficiencies in aircraft building during the war. "The man of position or wealth who remains passive in the public life going on about him is in the same class with the man who feigns steep with a burglar is the room." he is quoted as saying.

Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., put the matter of clean pictures before his audience with a clarity that must have come startlingly to many cars. He told these leaders of film destiny that he understood and sympathized with the many intricate problems that lay before them, and he assured them that he had no intention of laying down formulas for what they should do. "I simply lay before you one formula," he said, "and that of what you must not do. You must not offend common decency. That's all." There can be no doubt that Mr. Hays struck the vital shot of the 1925 picture situation when he summed up the whole question of censorship and film policy in this one forceful dictum: at a time when books were plays becoming more and more embolished in the presentation of salacious subject matter, it is an amazing thing to consider that the "movies" are almost automatically and voluntarily straightening up. Such a pronouncement as Mr. Hays argues a state of affairs that is practically without precedent. This cause of clean pictures is not being figured out from a purely moral basis either. The picture world is recognizing that it is as much a matter of good business as sound morals to have a clean screen spread before the public. As if in answer to the general thought summed up in Mr. Hays' pronouncement comes the credo from one company to the effect that this concern is out to make only clean pictures. He realizes the value of such a policy from a sound business standpoint, and is pushing his slogan of "Studios where clean pictures are being made." This may seem to be the "straight and narrow path" for this company, when on the neighboring lots the pursuit of the easy box office dollar through sensational films is going on apace. Yet the cry of clean pictures is in the air and the support of the public is assured. The only explanation of the curious protection that has guarded the moral tone of the screen almost from the beginning has in fact that it is the first art to have ever been dependent on the voice of the majority for its existence. There can be no wandering on the tastes of the few in this picture game, because production and distribution aspects are so closely interdependent. It is also the first art form that must be strictly businesslike to succeed. If there is more business than art involved in the motion picture today, it is no harm to art in the long run. Perhaps the older arts have something to learn, after all, from this upstart of the present century, which is able at twenty to conduct its affairs with a decorum more or less forgotten by its elders. There need be no fear that in observing the requirements of common decency all originality and appeal will be driven from the screen. Rather will abstention from the objectionable lead screen talent into furs of greater beauty and invention. Mr. Hays is deserving of universal support in his campaign for clean pictures and sensible censorship. The old storekeeper down in the country who gave up keeping turkey red because the women instated on buying all he had as fast he got it must be related to the New Hampshire merchant about whom the story is told. There was nothing he liked so well to do as he back in an old arm-chair on the clim-shaded porch of his store and whittle a kreen willow stick. Very hot afternoon just as he got his jack-knife out, a boy appeared on the scene with a gallon jug. "Can't I get a gallon of moose?" he inquired. "A hum," growled the store keeper, showing considerable temper. "Confound it! Nobody else in town's got molasses to sell but one. I suppose!" With his sting, rebuke he went in and filled the jug. A doctor who cares for patients on the hospital ward of no less than six maynium sent one of the inmates to the main office across the hall to get the correct time. "Two-ten," he announced when he returned. "Are you sure that clock is right?" asked the doctor, staring perplexed at his own watch, which registered an hour faster.
