The! management of the Eltinge showed fine discrim- | ination in shelving the Arbuckle picture until the) : mystery of Virginia Rappe’s death has been cleared! and Arbuckle is convicted or acquitted. i The movies have come in for bitter criticism from time to time because of the kind of pictures shown. Sex problems have been unduely accentu- ated and there has been too often .a‘tendency to capitalize crime and to satisfy morbid curiosity in such types as Clara Hamon and her ilk. That, with but few exceptions, the‘managers of _ the movie theaters have stricken the Arbuckle 2 features is a healthy tendency. It isa ray of hope at least that the moral standards of the film busi- ness are ascending rather than descending. Pictures that offend or have a tendency to} minimize responsibility to the home and society * are soon discarded, as public opinion is the most) potent censor the‘ moving picture theater has. One has not far to go for proof. Pictures featur-| ing the salacious career of Clara Hamon have! been barred from every respectable moving picture} theater in the United States. Associations of exhibitors who are interested in| clean, wholesome films are wisely refusing to turn) their property over to exploit crime and to accen- tuate the morbid phases of the underworld. The Tribune thinks commendation in this in- stance is coming to the movies upon which so much criticism has been heaped of late. herein| WHY NOT PROSECUTION? If the recall is to be held merely to punish law violators why not dispense with the courts en- tirely in the punishment of crime perpetrated: by public servants? j | Is it necessary to embroil the state in election to remove law violators? “ ! The Joint Campaign committee in Fargo bases/ its action for a recall upon law violations. Edi- torially in the Forum a demand is made for the arrest of the officers and directors of the Bank of North Dakota at Bismarck, on the criminal charge of receiving deposits in an insolvent bank. If the bank is insolvent; if the officers and di- rectors are criminals and if any state law civil or, * criminal has been broken, why does the states at- torney of Burleigh county ignore the fact? What are the two district judges doing in the presence of such flagrant crimes and high misdemeanors? What are the citizens doing that petitions have not been circulated for a grand jury in Burleigh county to receive these I. V. A. charges? Action through some of these various arms of the law would be less costly and more direct than the questionable route of a bitter recall election. If the charges of the I. V. A. have not substance to pass muster in a grand jury room or before a! jury of twelve men, can they pass muster before the voters? ey Why not:recall the states attorney charged with; law enforcement if so much crime and so many violations of the civil laws have been committed that even the courts are powerless and there must be a direct appeal’to the people? Why-have no charges been filed with Burleigh; county peace officers? | Why ‘has no grand jury been called to consider | the high crimes and misdemeanors? | Are recall elections to supplant the courts and} legal procedure where the acts of public officials | are concerned? a recall TREES Two-thirds of the original timber supply of the| United States is gone.

LET THE CURTAIN BE DRAWN The time to bar the “Fatty“ Arbuckle: motion picture offerings is right now—not tomorrow or at any future stage of discovery of the facts that) run through the unsavory affair in a San Fran- cisco hotel. It is good to know that a ban has been put upon these pictures by a firm controlling a large num-, ber of theaters in Minneapolis. It will be better to be told that every theater proprietor and man- ager in Minneapolis, in Minnesota and in the coun- try has emulated the example of the local firm. Arbuckle may or may not be guilty of murder. | When they come'to deal‘ with him the courts of | justice may decide that he did not cause the death! of Virginia Rappe by violence or otherwise. There is, however, a court of public opinion/ reaching out all over the land. It is a court of decency and of high moral sense. that revolts at the sort of thing Arbuckle con-' trived in this instance. i It is inconceivable that this court, made up inj large part of the consciences and moral compunc- | houses, should lend itself to “heroize” a man of| the type of Arbuckle discloses himself to be by) the affair that was “staged” in his private quar- ters in a hotel. murderer in the eyes of the law and the minds it is fair to him that he shou'd be presumed inno- cent of taking the life of another, wilfully or otherwise, but it is not unfair to him, in the light of what already is told of the back-ground of the murder charge, to say that the screens of the land should not be made to lend themselves in any wise to a possible creation cf maudlin sympathy for him. Arbuckle is one of those upon whom riches have rained. The money that gives him luxury came primarily from the pockets of men, women and Few of those who have seen his antics in the pictures concerned them- selves with speculation as to his private life and character.

He had been a boyhood friend of Buf- falo Bill, and when Cody became an Indian scout, White also took up that occupation. For years he was Buf- falo. Bill's faithful follower—half- servant, halg‘partner.” He copied Buffalo Bill's dress, his speech and the way he walked. He let his hair grow long in imitation of Cody. He was always at the famous scout’s side, and took more care of Buffalo Bill's guns and horses’ than he did of his own, Two stories of how he got his name are told. One.js this: General Sher- idan had arrived at Fort Wallace, Kan., and was seeking Buffalo Bill to guide him on a buffalo hunt. White appeared and told the general that Cody was away. “But when Mr. Cody is away, I'm Buffalo Bill,” declared White. “The h—l you. are!” said “Little Phil” with contempt. “Buffalo chips, you mean!” And the general stamped) away angrily. According to the other version of| White's christening, ope night at Fort| Laramie he claimed the right to be known by some dther name than sim-| ple Jim White, something descriptive of his close friendship for Buffalo Bill “All right.” said Major Morton of the Ninth infantry, “We'll call -you| ‘Buffalo Chips’ !” White was with the Fifth cavalry when {It attacked Chief American Horse's camp at Slim Buttes, S. D.,, in'the autumn of 1876. After the de- feat of the Indians, the soldiers began hunting down little parties of, Sioux hidden in the gulches and ravines near the edge of a cliff. He had raised himself to bis feet and was ready to fire at a warrior down in the ravine when a shot rang out. White sprang in the air, clutched his hands to his breast and with the startled cry of “Oh, my God, boys, they've got me!" he plunged forward Stories of down the slope, shot through the heart. “A simpler-minded, gentler fron- tiersman never lived. He was mod- esty and courtesy itself, and he had three unusual traits for men of his class—he never drank; I never heard him swear, and no man ever heard him lie,” writes Gen. Charles King, who knew him well and who saw him die that cold September morning at Slim Buttes. Wanted to Know.
