MAKING IT A GAME
Men back from over-seas .comment with
wry face on the difference between the peo
ple here and in France in the matter of thrift.
An cx-servtoe man recently put hla finger on
the point "They enjoy It." he said. "They
make a Kama of it. It's their favorite aport."
Ho hit It If one la to undertake thrift, he
must do it affirmatively and with seat. (
MADE GOOD
Rev. T. V. Grouse of Stokesdale haa come
and gone. As a good cltlsen and one In earnest
bout the enforcement of law he waa glad to
i give the Winston-Salem court such Information
. as he possessed in regard to bootlegging In this
city and section. And we have confidence
enough in that court to believe that it will
make the best use possible of that information.
While thejlestlmoney. given by Mr. Crouse
' waa not sufficient to convict, under the tech
nical roles of evidence in a court of law, in
our judgment the report of hla testimony ap
pearing In . thla issue of The Journal shows
Conclusively that the minister had sufficient
: reliable information to justify every statement
made by him in hla letter to the Editor of The
Journal. .
The (acta given by Mr. Crouse should and,
no doubt, will greatly assist the officers in run
ning down at least one or more confirmed and
. notorious bootlegger in thla city and section.
' But of far mora value than this is the example
set by thla minister of the gospel. If followed '
by other good citizens it will not be long until
the officers will be able to spot every boot-
- legger in the business. Violators of the prohi
: bltton atatute cannot evade the clutches of the
luvtjrhen every good citizen tells the court all
he knows. - We need more men with the cour

' ELEVATING THE MOVIES
.The movies are looming up in. t,he limelight
of general discussion with Increasing.' promi
nence. The moving picture show aa a mode of
entertainment evokes comment of a varied
character. 4 That the movies are popular goes '
without saying. Whether their value is poten
tial or actual or both is hotly debated. The
proprietors are not troubled about advertising
. their shows as such; all they need to 'do ia to
keep the public informed about the new feat
ures. ' Their shows are successful as amuse
ment enterprises. The educational possibilities
of moving pictures are not wholly lost sight of
at any time, but are emphasized in varying de-
: greea. ,
' The moving picture ahow proprietor ia not '
primarily at-fault for the program he exhibits
from day to day. He caters to the people who
attend, and naturally seeks to please them.
The theme they applaud wllf1 give him a cuo
In ordering other 01ms. Censorship of tho
movie has often been proposed and, has some
times been actually inaugurated. The dim
culty of such a process is obvious. A picture
hearing the label endorsed by so and so wheta
, the interest of the audience and sharpens their
anticipation.
The chief cause of complaint seems to be tho
so-called sex picture. Various phases of tho '
sex relations of men and women are portrayed
on the screen under circumstances that seldom
have an analogy tn real life. Family life Is re
garded lightly and violations of the sanctity
of marriage are held up as a generalization
rather than aa the occasional occurrence. Tho
exhibition of such pictures is further compli
cated by the charm any sort of picture haa for
children. A trivial sex novel does not interest
a child, but in the movie he sees the aamo
theme glaring before him in rapidly changing
scenes coupled with scores of minor attractive
features in the environment of the drama.
The movie proprietor who sets out to show
only safe and aane pictures finds his box offlco
receipt dwindling and his business fast falling
before hla competitor who muffles his scruples.
The real problem must be solved by the patronn
of the shows themselves. The moving picturo
Is far too valuable to be lot altogether. Tho !
reforming wave must come from the public."!
The public gets exactly what it wants, and the
sentiment of the patrons is reflected from the
, screen. -. ' . ' .
The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
Monday night waa one of the moat successful
meetings ever held by that body. We tiave no
reference to the decision reached; we are
thinking of the large .attendance of represen
tative business men and. of the dispatch with
which -the . meeting was conducted. Members
were prompt and concise In the statements of
their views. The speakers were not all of iden
tically the same opinion. .Discussion ef publlo
questions lit assemblages of this kind would be
of. Inestimable value to' the community.

;v OUR EMINENCE IN CRIME
Ex-President Taft's explanation of the record
breaking figures for crime in this country is npt
new, but It is one of the most convincing of
the explanations that have been offered. It
is, in brief, the lack of adequate punishment of
criminals, 'and on this subject Mr. Taft, as a
Jurist, is well qualified to speak;. He takes his
facta for his Philadelphia Public Ledger ar
tide from a treatise on American poljce ays-'
terns by Raymond Fosdick, the well known
publicist and investigator. The figures show
an astonishing amount of all kinds of crime,
especially homicides, burglaries and highway
robberies, in the cities of the United States as
compared, with equal populations In other coun
tries? . ' '
There is aa much crime In some. American
cities as in entire European countries, even
more In some years. ' Murders in England and
Wales In 1914, we read, were ninety-two; in
Chicago, with a population only one-fifteenth
aa large, they number eighty-seven. In lilt
they were eighty-one In England and Wales and
seventy-seven in Chicago. In 191they were
eighty-five in England and Wales and - one
hundred and five in Chicago. In 1917 they were
eighty-one in England and Wales and ninety-
one in Chicago, and in It IS they were eighty
one in England and Wales and nlnetxflve in
"Chicago. New York City's record Is no bet
ter, having In 1916 six times the number of,
homicides murder and manslaughter that
London had and only ten less than- all Eng
land and Wales. In 1917 New York had six
times as many homicides as London and fifty
six more than all England and Wales. In 1918
New York again had six times as many homi
cides as London and sixty-seven more than sjl
England and Wales. Even more startling com
parisons are shown In the case of other crimes. ,
For example, in 1815. New York City had eight" I
times as many burglaries aa London, and near
ly twice the number of burglarlea in all Eng
land and Wales, the records for other recent
years being but little better.
A similar contrast is found and this is the
point in the matter of prosecutions and con
victions. In 1919 to give but one example
there wore eight thousand, three hundred and
neventy-two culpable homicides and only one
hundred and fifteen legal executions in this
country, in all England and Wales In 1916
there were eighty-five homicides, fifty-three '
trials In te same year, twenty-eight of the ac
cused adjudged insane and confined, ten ac
quitted and fifteen sentenced to death. Among
the causes of American eminence In crime are
listed congestion of aliens and negroes iii our:
cities and strife due to race prejudice, but even
with foreigners and negroes eliminated from
the calculation our crime record - would still
"greatly exceed" that of western Europe.
Among the causes for our failure to punish
crime adequately are mentioned delay in bring
ing cares to trial, defeats In the court pro
ceases, the injection' of pontics Intercity police
systems, andhe removal by statute in most
States of the power of the Judge to help the
Jury In analyzing', the evidence; Still another
cause 'tfvWjs 'ia&ita' respect-for law due to
"the apparently irrepressible desire of mis
guided enthusiasts to attempt to elevate the
morals of the community by regulations direct
ed against acts which most of .the community
are Inclined to, and which are .lawful except
for such Regulations." Mr, Taft asserts his
matured conviction that ;1sf administration of
criminal law by the Stat courts in thla coun
try is a disgrace to our civilisation'' and that
the prevalence of crime Is largely due to the"
failure to bring criminals to Justice.
EDITORIALS OF THE DAY
THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY '
(New York World.) ' . -No
one has ever accused Hudson Maxim of be
ing 'a pacifist. 'But, avowed militarist that he Is.
L In the changed situation' of the world a truce on
navat armaments, such as Is contemplated in the
Borah -resolution, is in his eyes the only com
mon-afense oolicv. . - i "
It lies with the United States to aocept the
duty of leadership by' inviting Japan and Great
Britain to Join it in calling a halt on naval ex
panslon, or to plunge, ahead on a' mad course of
naval competition that, points straight to uni
versal disaster. One way we shall seek the goal
of a reasonably understanding from which all na
tions shall, benefit; the other way we shall revive
and reinflame the old animosities that under con
stant nursing threaten the embroilment of peace
ful peoples, .
What is the alternative for the United Btates
to a truce on naval armaments? Out of its
wealth it may gratify the Jlngolat ambition, as
the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs puts It,
to "maintain a navy at least equal to that of any
power." But. if we pour billions into the build
ing of warcraft likely to become obsolete before
finished it must be to the neglect ot other needs.
The lma has come to choose, As Hudson Maxim
forcibly states -It, if the proposal- ot a naval
armament truce is rejected, billions of dollars
oonsumed In building the biggest navy must mean
loss In other productive ways. A billion dollars
invested In good roads, a billion in Waterways,
another . in electrical-power extensions, a fourth
in canal and power systems and a fifth in rec
lamation work - may seem visionary, -., but it of
fers the promise of tangible benefits. Five bil
lions spent on an ever-expanding navy leads no
where except to the Expenditure of additional
billions later on. v
Either we -may act on the advice of the Naval
General Board and . the Senate committee - and
squander billions on the boast ot having the
biggest navy In the world, or conserve wealth and
employ labor tn increasing our productiveness
and so strensthenins the national defense In a
way not to be doubted. Can there be any ques
tion whtoh road leads to the well-being ot the
American people 7 , , . x

ACUTE LKGISLATIVITI8
, ' (Virgihian-PUot.) . i
Leglslatlvitis, the new and virulent malady
generally afflicting bodies politic, seems to have
spread to North Carolina. A bill has been intro
duced at Raleigh providing that no charge for
any arucie or, rood or dish served in a restaurant
shall be greater thanthe retail price of the raw
article of food or the Ingredients of such a dish
wnen purchased on the local market This Is get
iing sown to cases, and tough ones at that,
the bill should pass, catering 'would become

out dims oi rare, reatauranteurs would be faced
by a mathematical teat taxing, the resources ol
an Einstein. It would be difficult enouah to ad
just the rates in the case of even the simplest
viands. In the caae of compound 'dishes like hash
tne fixing of a legal price would be. a job few
would care to tackle.
The bill fails to recognize obvious dlstlnctlonc
among restaurants. It ignores differences In cul
inary preparation and service that, to the con
sumer, are highly Important. It would be just
as equitable to fix the price limit of violins on tht
basis of raw material, thus reducing-the products
ot masters to a dead-level with tHose of Jack
legs.' Under sucli- a price-fixing system, untids
restaurants, where food la wretchedly, cooked ant
stin more ..wretchedly served would 'have a dis
tinct advantage over restaurantsthat seek to glvt
appetizing service. price limitation of this sori
disregards the factor in the problem represent

The inevitable result of such limitation would br

A WHOLESOME PROTEST
The proposed law to prohibit all smoking in
the executive offices of the Federal Government
may or may not have been Intended as a first
step toward law to prohibit smoking any
where whatsoever, but the tendencies of the
times unquestionably place 'the latter within
the bounda of possibility. In any case It is
both encouraging and refreshing to find that
Senator Smith of Arizona, in opposing the pro
position, delivered himself In common-sense .
fashion aa follows: t ,
"Mr. President, this is my final protest tn
public life agalnrt the effort of the Senate of
the United States, or the Congress of the United
Btates, to reach out Its hand under various
pretenses of power through the interstate com
merce clause of the Constitution, or some other
device, to go Into the homes of the people
and regulate, or attempt to regulate them all,
In their conduct where that conduct, even if It
Is not exactly the right thing, takes no right
from any one else, and leaves them at least in
the possession off some of tho, natural Uberities
of man." '
Senator Smith further declared that the chief
effect of the legislation ' which regulators- -of
personal habits are now constantly urging Con
gress to enact, would be to "relao a generation
of dude and nincompoops." And hypocrites
and law violators by the million with ever les
