California a few days ago, Jesse K Lasky, head of one of the moving; picture companies, announced the fol ' lowing program: No picture showing sex attraction in a suggestive or improper manner. No pictures dealing witli "white, slavery." No stories built on illicjt love un | less they convey a moral lesson. No nakedness. No inciting dances. No unnecessarily prolonged pas sjonate love scenes. No stories principally concerned, with the underworld. No picture making drunkennesses; or gambling attractive. _ No pictures which might instruct i the morally weak in crime methods, i No stories which may offend any, religious sect. No imidents showing disrespect for’ any religion. ; No suggestive comedy. No unnecessary depiction of bloodshed. - No salacious titles or advertising. Lasky says that he has voluntarily i undertaken to clean up the pictures I made by his company and that thei campaigns for censorship laws had I nothing to do with his action. He has left a loophole here and there in his program but ho plans pictures | from which most of the present ob- ■ jectionable features will be absent.! The motion picture producers can at any time clean up the pictures. The i public Aas not been without guilt be-; cause it’has patronized pictures that should not have been exhibited. The, producer who cared only for the money took this cue and there was competition to see how far a film could go without bering barred. —Indianapolis News.

triCt and state tournaments. For several years this city has been promised the district tourpumeut but when the announcement is made the mew always goes to Bluffton and when the schedule is made, that city usually draws an easy one for the opener. Similar complaints are heard from over the state and It is quite probable that if the sport continues to grow in favor there will have to be some methods adopted which tire fair and ■ open and which do not give the appearance of being controlled, to the advantage of a few favored spots. This year there will be sectional tournaments at Purdue and Indiana and the state tournament at Indian apolis. There seems to be an inclination to commercialize the sport which will eventually prove ruinous. That Vice President Thomas R. Marshall leaves the United States senate with the good will and best wishes of every member was demon strated yesterday when in presenting gifts to him, Senators Lodge and Underwood paid him due tribute. His 'response that he’has found that sena tors have hearts as welt as brains jand his happy words made the event a yery pleasant one. Beyond question Mr. Marshall is one of the most popular men who has ever presided over the greatest law making body in ! the world and he deserves all the honor that can be bestowed on him. I Indiana may well feel proud of the record he lias established. He will ’turn the gavel over to Mr Coolidge i Friday morning. Teddy Roosevelt, son of the exi president has been named assistant ’ secretary of the navy by Mr. Harding and will immediately assume that ! position, succeeding his cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, who was the democratic candidate for vice presii dent. It is a some what peculiar coincident that Teddy’s’ ’father likewise held this position. It looks like a 1 Roosevelt job. Uncle Billy Blackburn has resigned as county assessor after fifteen ’years of faithful service. His health will not permit him to give the work the necessary attention and he decided to turn the job over to some one else. It is a mighty important ; place these days and the selection of his successor should be made with . great care.

The weather is certainly fine and we at least can appreciate the fact that few have suffered from cold this winter.
