    WHAT KIND OF A COUNTRYDO THE PEOPLE REALLY WANT?

    DOCTOR CADMAN SEES
    CRIME TRIUMPHANT

    Doctor Cadman, head of the Federal

    Council of Churches, says that there

    have been more crimes of violence in

    the United States in the last three

    years than in the previous quarter of

    a century, that America is now the

    crime center of the world, that the criminal

    bids fair to be supreme here very

    soon and that then the honest citizen

    will not stand a chance. A boys’ club

    was just uncovered in Chicago which

    no boy could join until he had committed

    at least one burglary.

    THE PHONOFILM IS
    A SUCCESS

    The Phonofilm, which pictures or

    reproduces a person engaged in making

    a speech, as well as the speech or

    music itself, is pronounced a success.

    This invention, the work of Dr. Lee

    De Forest, was a dream of Thomas A.

    Edison more than ten years ago, and

    has been the goal of inventors since.

    A speech of the President was recently

    photofilmed by this method, and the

    reproduction in New York a week later

    was -realistic. During the reproduction

    the audience broke into involuntary

    applause.

    PEOPLE DEMAND
    THE FILTH

    The true standard of news distribution

    is to circulate the things that are

    true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of

    good report, so that the people may

    think on these things. The Fayetteville,

    North Carolina, Observer, tried

    this policy for one week, omitting all

    crime news. At the end of the period

    the subscribers by a vote of sixty to

    one demanded a return to the old

    method of publishing all the news of

    wretchedness and crime, so that they

    might have it.

    GENERAL BUTLER’S
    LOSING FIGHT

    In his great fight to clean up the

    city of Philadelphia General Butler

    has proven that the public in general

    do not want things cleaned up, but

    that openly or secretly their sympathies

    are with the lawless. General

    Butler started put with the statement

    that he would clean the city up in 48

    hours. After a year and a half of

    faithful effort, he admits that the forces'

    arrayed against righteousness and

    honesty are too great to be overcome,

    and he is ready to go back tooths

    WHAT UNCLE SAM SUPPLIES
    THE PRESIDENT

    Besides his salary of $75,000, and

    an expense allowance of $25,000, Uncle

    Sam supplies the President with free

    servants, free rent, free furniture, free

    automobiles, transportation by land

    or water with all expenses paid, the

    free use of the Marine Band when he

    wants it, and one annual formal dinner

    to the diplomatic corps. The President

    pays all other food bills. As the White

    House family and servants number

    forty persons, that is no small item.

    "People Demand the Filth" for wanting to hear about crime in their nieghborhood? What about "Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity... blah, blah, blah," are they saying instead people should just read about puppies and flowers? So stupid.

    WHY MANY CHILDREN

    ARE CRIMINALS

    The reason has been discovered why so

    many of the first children born to immigrants

    after they arrive in America are

    criminals. The mothers are disturbed, everything

    is new and strange and difficult,

    and they have to work too hard. To make

    the lot of these mothers easier is an act of

    truest charity and truest sentiment. Every

    discovery of science proves that mothers

    cannot do more than care for the home

    without danger to the next generation.
