With Pride and Rejoicing rmistice should be observed upon No- wanier 11th oe aloes of the day of the week. It marks the end of the most unspeakable con- flict of all times. It is not an occasion for mourning. It is one for rejoicing. The people stand victorious over the ambitions of auto- crats. To dwell wholly upon the sacrifices of the war is to lose sight of its lasting benefits to the human race. True, the heroes of that war should be re membered and their deeds be recounted with pride, for every mothers’ son who marched against the German menace was a hero. That he found a final resting place in France, as countless heroes did, we should not remember only the fact of his having gone from earth, but Jet us dwell with increasing pride upon the deeds he did, the glorious sacrifice he was per- mitted to make, the love of country and flag and home and loved ones he was unselfishly will- ing to serve. No, these things are never to be forgotten. They cannot be forgotten. + 3ut in the larger way the devotion of our boys is to be recompensed to the living, in the great honor we show to the dead, in rejoicing and not mourning, over their joint tremendous contribution to humanity. We have nlready set aside a day, sacred to the memory of our valiant dead, when we prove our const ant blossoms. Let Ar one of great rejoicing with the ing at the peak of the mast. With the call the reville. We must not hear taps. Pausing for Breath Mr. Zukor and other scintillant personalities {n the moving picture manufacturing industry nre worried by the overhead. They say they are going to go slow for awhile and see whether production costs, not only of staging and the mechanical side generally, but also of actor’s salaries will not fall to lower levels. The ex- periment of pausing in the mad rush of manu-| , facturing films and taking a look around is well we trying. @on that every day a minimum of ten million and a 1 imum of twenty million persons at- tend moving picture theaters in the United States. And he said truly that the educational possibilities of moving pictures were “illimit- able.” That those possibilities thus far have been largely perverted by displays of violent love- making and “stunt” pictures of hair-raising scenes is, of course, well known. It is to be hoped that the picture producers | | ‘will turn from high-priced and unskilled stars |} to well-trained and well-educated persons who} ; Imow how to act with restraint and who can instruct as well as entertain the multitudes that crowd the moving picture houses. If the prom- ised pause in the production of films is well employed in taking thought of the future of the picture industry the more intelligent of the producers surely will try to turn out henceforth films that have more serions meaning and less barbaric displays, more beauty of theme and less fury of passion. Quiet But Effective Attorney General Dangherty is the sort of lawyer who does not try his cases in the news- papers. For that reason, very little public at- tention has been called to his vigorous prosecu- tion of what are generally called the “War Fraud Cases.” Nothwithstanding his aversion to resort to publicity methods, he has worked hard on the task of saving to the taxpayers every dollar that is not legally and morally due under war contracts. It is readily apparent that Mr. Daugherty ‘undertook this work under great handicaps. The ‘war ended in 1918 and most of the war trans- actions were closed before Mr. Dangherty went into office in 1921. Contracts were often loosely drawn, and were subject to varied intedpreta- tion. Much was left to the discretion of officers who approved work done or supplies furnished. When settlement had been made, the presump- tion was that all proceedings had been honest and legal ,and the burden of proof rested en- tirely upon the government. Much evidence was difficult to secure as witnesses had removed from former places of residence. In spite of the presumptions tn favor of the regularity of transactions and the difficulty of bringing suits three years or more after the business had terminated, Mr. Dangherty, with an appropriation of $500,000 for this work, re- covered approximately $3,500,000 in cash, got fndgment for $1,225,000 more, and secured the dictment of 95 persons on criminal charges in connection with war transactions. Many cases are still pending or under investigation in an effort to secure the evidence necessary to sup- port them in conrt. : Those figures relate only to sntts bronght in courts under the act of congress making the ap- ropriation for prosecution of war fraud cases. n addition to that, the Attorney General has represented the government in a large number of cases in the Court of Claims where the claims rs has been telling the people of Lon- |‘ cases he has saved the it $85,300,000, out of @ total of $88,300,000 in claims, That is to say, he has so effectively defended the inter- ests of the government in claims brought by con- tractors whose demands he deemed unjust, that jthey recovered only about $3,000,000 out of $88,- 000,000 they claimed. These latter figures demonstrate two —first, that Attorney General not adopt a general policy of contesting every claim, which would have been unjust to honest contractors, but contested only those claims that were apparently irregular. The enormous pro- portions of contests won by him shows that his position was well taken. Second, the record of contractors have been contested and in these’ things | trateip Daugherty Co) Fea ik fy 2 i i zee I ik iif by idl i aif you write “MOVE ON.” nick this year’s crop.

Liverpool would fix the price of wheat for the American farmer if it were not for the American tariff, and the American price would then correspond with the lowest price in Canada, Foolish Sectionalism Senator Underwood 1s short-sighted. He wants to be given the Democratic nomination for the presidency because he is a southerner. If the casting of votes is to be determined by geography what chance has a southerner to be elected? If Mr. Underwood shall be nominated, he will have an election contest ahead of him. If votes are to be determined by sectionalism, what argu- ment will he have then, if the Republicans nomi- nate a_ northerner. Mr. Underwood is an able man, conrageous enough to stick to a low tariff policy even when his constituents are turning to protection, and brave enough to continue wet when his state is dry. But no man is really big enough to be president of all the people when he bases his candidacy on sectional pleas. Effective Enforcement A New England judge has set an example that |might well be followed by wearers of the ermine farther west. He fined 22 violators of the pro- hibition law a total of $25,000 and sentenced them to jail terms aggaregating 2,240 days. The fines were of little consequence, it must be admitted, for the bootleggers could make many times that amount in a short time, but the jail sentences will have some effect. As a matter of fact, fining a bootlegger is merely slapping him on the wrist—a friendly gesture, But sending him to jail is a real effort to uphold the law.
