AN EXECUTIVE CONFESSION. Whatever may b the result of the railway injunction, and tho-ushtfu! men know that the situation It creates 13 the most dynamic for either good or evil which th nation has faced for a generation. It is a pitiful irnl complete. confession of failure of the executive branch of government to protect the public. For the first time the Eovernmrnt of the United States. In the name of the president, appeals to the judiciary for protection tnd the executive Itself becomes a plaintiff; la a clvTl law suit to obtain a result which It. a co-ordinate branch, failed to Achieve. The Injunction la no new weapon in strikes. It has always been a favorite method of avoiding the technicalities of criminal law and of dodslns trial ty Jury for acts which in themselves are crimes but ur.lT the injunction become contempt, punishable by a Judse instead of Jury. But the injunction of the other days has been sought by private parties whose property was in Jeopardy. The present injunction Is obtained by the executive branch of the government, empowered, to use finales if neceary, empowered to call upon all citizens to protect property and upheld the law. The failure of the president to secure peace in the railway strike Is made the occasion of recourse to this drastic method. The lce;al questions involved in that injunction, whether It violates the fundamental right of free speech, whether it oversteps the decisions of courts, rni4. be left to courts. But. thre are some prolpms xrave enourh to challenge every citizen to .nsk himself Ju3t how strong his Americanism and just how far he is ready to go for principle and rights that are pre-(-nted by th injunction. To those who applaud the plan, the question will be as'ioj as to whether they are ready to see their own business sacrificed for the sake of establishing th principle they approve. . For it is quite cor.ceiveable that the answer of other railway workers to the injunction and the e worn -statement of the attorney general that one half of all locomotive are now useless will be a refusal to oper.it the trains or the defective entines. Withn : vr. nth a s'opn.agc of trains would mean a rf.vi'....i i" only of all other industries but the ßtalki:.;-: t timin-, hunger and disease in every large city of the land. Beycnl that diy, if it shouM occur, wouM be the appalling spectacle of a workless and unemployed nation, for without transportation no other industry can operate. An idle nation is a restless nation. That orranized labor will be 50 foolish as to contemplate a general strike is ineonceiv able. Any hepe that trains can be run or engines repaired by court orders is. as foolishly optimistic. That tlv test i here, the- real test of American institutions, is well within the ran re of tossibilities. When the history of the strike is written, the smallest and most insignificant chapter will be the belatsd gesture of firmness which comes now from the White House. Had President Harding taken a etand, specific and direct, two months ago when he presented his first peace plan, there would be no need of rehabilitating himself with his old friend. Eis Business, by the Injunction method. Had he let the nation know that he really meant what he slid when he told the workers and executives "You will agree upon these terms," instead of p-rml'tmg thos term to be refused and debated and then discarded by railway executives, the crisis would have ben met. Now the mittesr has reicher" the fever hat of passion when peaceful settlement eema impossible. The first reaction to the executive appeal to court U one of deHance, of anger, or reprisal. This nation has become an organization of highly rpeclalized groups. The old moralities do not apply. The complexities of modern life have created obligation and greater duties for some Industries and fr some -workers than arc Ia---fl upon others. In the old days if one ha?k driver quit, no community s:rvei. Today if one railway system, the successor to the oil stag-- coach, quits, millions of men are thrown out of work and whole sections f arve. In the old days a wood chopper might take his ilay off without any particular d image to his cuetomers. They could tri !e with others or chop their own fuel. Today when th" coil industry, snccessr to the woodsman, stops, everything else stop. And to scle the problems presented by this new condition of lit-1, the executive and the courts are Tyir.sr to aprly ru'.e? and precedents established for the stage coach d ly. Whatetr b the p-ejertt outcome, how long or how rrief the trr.Ie. it emphasize' 'he need for a new view of inli.strl- and a nw public a'.titud owards the l.i.i- or esser.t.a' er.terr iss.

A FORGOTTEN THEATER. Covered several hundred feet deep by rands, the ruins of a majestic theater, 160 feet In diameter, has Just been excavated in Italy. Archaeologists say that this pleasure rlace, traces cf whose rplendor are Ptill apparent, was erected 500 B. C. or nesrly 2,500 years ago. Near It wa a temple, erected to Juno, and on an old coin found near the ruias is the emblem of a fnake. Those who pretend to know sty that thl3 make wa-a placed there because when men worshipped at the shrine, of this particular g:odde3, a part of the rites corusisted of the feeding by virgina of chestnuts to a huge serpent kept near the altar. In their simple minds, the serpent, pacified and full of food, woufd protect them from their enemies, which were hunger, famine and pestilence. The world changes slowly in some directions. The same spirit which prompted these ancients to build a great gathering place where gladiators fought in tho arena, today prompti? the building of arenas for our modern pugilists. The same human emotion that prompted these old boys whose names have been forgotten for centuries to applaud the scantily clad dancing girl3 as they plroutted and cavorted before them, today fills the seats of the girl shows all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Invention. In the matter of amusement, has not progressed far In the 2,500 years that divide the theater at Lanuvium and the new temple of amusement that will aoon be opened in this city. Some progress, however, between that serpent, made immortal on a coin, and the state university. Men no longer try to charm away bad luck. They know how to create good fortune if they stop to think. Instead of fearing a-famine and sending a virgin to bribe a serpent, the world today tries chemical fertilizers, deeper plowing and tho spraying it crops against insects. Instead of trembling before a snake to drive away epidemics, the modern physician makes waron germs and the mosquito and swats the My. Quite probably, in that year twenty-fle centuries ago, some proud imrressario looked over this gigantic theater and believed that it would stand forever. Even his name Is forgotten. For the world moves along, laughing a little, working a little and always climbing a little higher. It is quite Important to keep laughinr that little. That theater in the old days made men forget the serpent who mußt be appeased. The modern theater takes the mind away from other troubles, many of v.hich are quite a3 imaginary and as groundless as the power of this snake to produce famines.

MORE STRIKE NEWS. Turn from the stories of wrecks, of defiant statements, of arrogance for soma real news from the present strike. It L true that this item did not attain very wide prominence and was buried in most of the newspapers, but it was really more important than some of the wrecks and threats and injunctions. Down in Missouri the Chicago & Altort roal was completely tied up. No trains were moving. On one ?ide of barricades were superintendents and officials breathing defiance and ouside of them pickets and strikers were shouting their anger and occasionally hurling a brick through windows. . On the outskirt of the little town where the shops were located, in a small cottage a man liy groaning and in terrible pain. He was no part of the strike, just a rural mail carrier, known to the farmers for hi smile and cherry word" from town and to the neighbors of the village as a good fellow and a good friend. The local doctor, looking him over, declared that unless he was operated upon for appendicitis within ten hours, he would die. There was no hospital in the town, no appliances, no facilities. And no trains were running. The word went around among the strikers. It seeped through the barricade.' to the officials and the superintendents. And then the strike was forgotten. An engine and one' car were run upon the tracks. Out from the group of picket came r-n engineer and a fireman. The superintendent of the division got into the car where the mail carrier was placed on a stretcher and acted as conductor ai the run was made to the big city a hundred miles away. It was not news, of course, for It was what you expe t In America. The anger of the'v moment, the hostility and the hate was forgotten when a human being was near death and 4 common effort could save a life. Railway executives and high officials who have nightmares about the coming of Bolshevism will tlep better if they read this incident. Workers who believe that they can etir up a civil war of class hate should also study It. For as long as men have that kernel of human rrotherhood growing in their hearts, the crop will not be the destruction and the bloodshed and the Killings that have come to other lands. Pome day men with money and men with only their labor and their brains wi'.l be guided by the spirit and the -sentiment which sent this train, planned by strikers and guided by their chief enemy out on a mission of mercy. Finally, the heart of America will assert Itself, not only in the crisis of life for one human being-, but in all matters that mean human suffering. o We 5.1 w a bathing suit that looked like suoper.ders and a belt.

QthgrEdjtorsTlianÖgrf BACK TO IiltTi:it. (Xew York Kvfiiinsr Post.) In Fositon rrwany years ago a canny Unilord leased a piece of real estate for a long term of years at an annual rental of so many bushels of wheat. Af dollars cheapened, the value of the wheat ro) compen-satingly. and so the rent remained nearly stable in purchasing power from year to year. Not exactly, of course, but the variation t;etween the purchasing power of that rent 30 year? ago and today is far less if the rent were paid in money. Lately Germans hae been adopting th's method. A peasant woman the other d.iy lei.-d cr many seres for so many pounds of butter per anr.um. As the mark descends, her rental buttrr r,??,? in value. ThL practice Is bound to become fommon wherever and whenever money become? insecure and unstable. In a pinch of that sort every one r-al!aes that moner Is not wealth and acts accoifllngly. In that conviction a trader exchanges one reality for another, and the age of barter is reborn.

A Lesson In Movies By James J. Montague

Garden Freak Yields Salad Growing on Jrine

Unless you know about art, you don't appreciate it. A Corot looks like a picture of a couple of trees to you. When you nave studied art for two or three days taking one of the better sort of magazine courses? a Corot looks like a Corot, which is much more satisfactory. It is the tame way with the movies. Some people do not like . ther. That is because they have never studied them. The movie are art. Jus: as much much as Corot is. And you have got to look at them with the eyes of educated appreciation or you get nothing whatever out of them. This is especially true of close-ups and art captions, which are written by the best authors.

you have tried to stare stonily through the dusk at the woman behind you who tells her neighbor that people are absolutely inconsiderate about coming in and obstructing the view ju;t at the most interesting part of the drama, you sit down and look at the close up. It is a cowboy, examining- the nose of hi3 horse. Before you are educated, you imagine that the horse, which has a weary expression on Its countenance, is suffering from a sudden attack of epizootic, and that the cowboy is about to send for a vererinarian either to relieve him or to hoot him. After a few weeks of study you know that the cowboy is telling the horse that the deare.st little girl in southwest Arizona has been kidnapped by Loper, the Mexican bandit, and that they will ride like wildfire over the mesquite and chapparal till they rescue her and give the Mexican cur his deserts. You can gather, nothing of this from the expression of the horse, which remains pained and somewhat bored. Nor. at first sight, can you note it in the features of the cowboy. Put by-and-by you can tell it at a

beginning. Mother Close-Vps Arc Kasy. Then there is the close-up of the old gentleman who is looking at the bunch of grapes suspended from the perirola. There Is an intent and hopeful something in the way he gazes at them, and the untrained observer supposes he is calculating just how long they will have to lie in the keg fermenting before they will be ready to become the iil of a little poker

party he mean to give to hi3 .three old cronies. .It requires a great deal of educating to know that his young son planted that grape vine when yet a boy, and that now he has become an assistant prohibition officer, and it has been necessary to disown him and try to forget. That conies in time, however, and you are not at all surprised when the boy comes home with some-thing on the hip. and the old gentleman fondly holds him to his bosom and forgives the error that nearly blasted two lives. Mother close-ups are usually easier to read, but sometimes one makes mistakes, if one happens to come In at a critical juncture in the picture. The writer, before he got his movie education, once saw a close-up of a sweet faced old lady sitting on the porch of a fine old colonial mansion with a -hatchet bold firmly in one hand. He supposed that father was about due from a poker party, and that a remonstrance was about to ensue in which a Jesson never to bo forgotten would te Inculcated with the hatchet. But he was wrong. The picture was a version of the Washington cherry tree incident, with the mother worked in to lend heart interest, and the mother was going to show the hatchet to Fa.ther Washington and to tell him that little George cut down the cherry tree in just three strokes with it. Afterward, as he found from remaining there a wiile. Father Washington went out and inspected the cherry tree, and observing how smoothly his little son had cut it down set him to work clearing the wood lot at a wage of fle cents a tree. Why the Child Weeps. One must even know about child close-ups in order to understand them. The little child in the pinafore, for example, who stands ax the cross-roads with tears coursing down her face may naturally bo supposed to be having a tantrum because she was only allowed to have one piece of cake at the children's party from which she had just come. Quite the reverse is true. She is weeping because she has seen her mother smoking a cigarette, and knows that it was the last cigarette in the box which she (the child) bought with the money she got for the prize essay about David and Goliath in the Sunday school contest. There are people who don't like the movie, just as there are people who don't like Titian. But educate either class, and they soon become fans. (Copyright. 1022.)

Short Furrows By Kin Hubbard

A tremendous audience that all but busted th' tent attended th openin' of our Chautalky last night. Th' Olympic Opery Troupe De Luxe gave scenes from "Fra Diavoly," an' th' Great Marco caught gold fish right out o' th' air. Dr. Avery Purviance. Lock Box 86, Heliotrope, Indianny, delivered his lecture. "What Our Country Needs," as advertised. It wuz a marvelous effort from ever' angle an' furnished th' intellectual touch t' a program o rare excellence. Dr. Purviance got his audience with him from th' start by relntin' th' yarn about th' darky that sold a blind mul t' another darky. Then, without warnin'. he thundered. "Th' trouble with this country t'day is that ther's too d d many commissions an' conferences! Take th coal strike! It's been goin' on for months an still both sides are optimistic. Look at th rail strike! Relatives are takin advantage of it an' pretendln' t' bo afraid t' start home, cantaloupes are rottin' on th ground, an' th automobile industry is threatened with a steel famine. Ever' few months, fer years, th' country has been torn an' distressed an' disturbed by wage squabbles. Th gar-

ment makers give a parade ever'

three weeks. Alius some class o' wage earners are walkin' in or out. Theso labor troubles nllus result in th' consumer payin' more. How do they happen an' who's t' blame an' when's it ever t 'end? Bight now, with th' country already balled up, th' tariff crowd in Washin'ton is gittin' th' last straw in shape f

break th' consumer's back. Then, on top o' all th' other trouble an confusion we have th' Volstead act which threatens t demoralize politics an' society fer years t' come. Officers wink at it, judges blink at it, an' candidates side-step it. Ever other feller we meet is a frank, open, law abidin' violator of our national Constitution. Strikes, illicit distillin', riots, house parties, stubborn rail officials, brief skirts, arrcgant labor leaders, three - dollar - per - bushel peaches with th crop so big it can't be picked, burglars in ever home, pessimistic farmers, allurin' an' disturbin" print dresses, open defiance t' th' law o' supply an' demand all o' these things add t' th' gayety o' th' nation an' have produced a vdeil-may-care atmosphere ever'where, a sort of a hazy indifference t' what's goin' on. Th great unorganized, lazy, pleasure-lovin majority in this country is motorin' t' a fall! somethin's got t be done! Is our republic a failure? Our officers are lected by th' people, while our commissions, an' arbitrators an fixers, are appointed! In th' present serrous crisis all our government machinery has failed frora our great President down. Organized labor an' organized capital are standin adamant! If this great country is t' survive, if eighty-five per cent of her people are goin' t be allowed t' live an' pursue pleasure, we'll have t' have a czar not a fancy czar not an 8-hour czar, but a reg'lar 24-hour czar with all th' fearlessness of a federal judge."

Tiny Islet Nestling in Pacific Pulsates With World's Business

MANILA. Aug. 31. Eureka! There is a spot' in this little Old World where man is absolutely free from the machinations of the fair sex: and this spot is under the United States fla too! It is Midway Island, the drift that rises above the surface of the Pacific that Americans discove rod 24 years ago on their way to the Philippines

land us now the mid-Pacific cable

station of the 'Commercial Pacific Cable Co. "When the United States took the Philippines there was immediate need for a direct American cable line across the Pacific. Midway links two continents; the cable company's representatives there reliy a constant flood of th? news and gossip of the world. And they can talk about it freely, for there is no on? by to listen. At all other cable statior.3 the lips of the personnel are sealed. Ton Residents. In all there are ten people on Midway the American personnel and some Japanese gardeners and servants. Among the ten are two women, but they are safe-ly married, and the young bachelors are free from vamping. All romance on Midway It between the covers of books; the library is paid to be large and extremely well selected. In conjunction with the cable station the cor.ta-.t stream of information pourir.cr through from one continent to the other daily the library makes Mitvay a veritable university. S-als are man's companions.

j They lumber up the shelving coast

and lo'.I In the sands. Birds abound and are unafraid of man. Off duty, the superintendent or his operators photograph the birds and study their habits. They ctch biar mals strutting proudly about and hens looking demure or coquettish. After

a while there are nest? and busy housewifery going on. One walks abroad through thousands of gooney birds sunning on the sands; flocks of wandering black albatross drop in for tea and stay like poor relations but with more welcome. A Bit of Sand. Midway was Just outcropping sand in the beginning. The largest of the dunes on the two and onehalf square miles that tops the sea is o'o feet high. It was just barren waste: Now it blossoms with verdure everywhere. Dune gras3 was brought from California and plant and fruit seeds from Hawaii. Midway is a p a rad :, a prophet's heaven sans houris. Yap may be important enough to engage the serious attention of the Washington and Versailles conferences; but Midway the cablet station half way to America from the Far East, hall way to the Far East from America, the station through which the pulse of the whede west and -ast flows quite transcend little Y.'ip. and any country covetous enough of this bit of sand as to question America's sovereignty over it would find itself faced with war. The foreign tus!ncr3 of the world i transacted over cable Iir.es. Midway is just as important to the Dakota farmer with wheat to sU as if is to the New York jobber wth cotton goods to peddle.
