A Definition Of Decency Now that Mr. Will Hays has taken the Job if protidtns us with better things in the mo tion picture world, he will na deubt be deluged with advice. He will get none better thB the facte sH furlh by Grant Hhewerman In the January Tale Rfvlew In an article protesting against eWei'tlwnaUie "realism"' In flcllan. They apply In all arl. Amune? ulher things, Mr. Bhowermau sy: There are thlints la the world whloh are Inherently ugly and. by consequence, Inherently offensive. They have always been no regarded, and, so lung as men are in pusaeaaluii uf the senses by which they are apprehended they will be so regarded. They are In themselves neither Immoral or indecent: they are among the nevessltles which have in.cn laid by nature tipgn man. They become Indecent only, but surely, when they are obtruded upon the percep tions uf other ineu. We have agreed not only to keep llieae facts out ot the reach of the senses, but not to speak of them, or otherwise to represent them to the Imagi nation. This means that they are not proper material for conversation, and tint they are not 'proper material for art. Ai?,-itnst some of them we have the written law, against others the unwritten. If we transgress the written law. we are KuiUy not only of indecency, hut of misdemeanor, or nf immorality in the strict and legal sciinp; if we transcresH the unwritten law, we are still guilty of in decency, but of immorality only In the broad sense. If we resort to the plea that we havo made-no breach in the law of the land, we are none the Ipss under condemna tion for breach of tho law of taftte. Wo are not to tell all tho truth. It this ucans the falsification of life, It la at worst a conven tional falsification that carries no actual deceit. If Mr. Hays and hid "magnates" in the pic ture producing world hew to the lino of that pronouncement, they will give the American people what the best American people want in their pictures, in their literature and in their daily lives. "No more v free lunch counter." says a headline which probably i true because their patrons arc drinking little enough to have a good meal at home. xt "Looking With Anxiety" ' 1 When Mr. Warren O. Harding stepped to . the edge of his front porch In Marion, stopped ! . with a gesture th blaring of the) triumphal : ? ' bands and proceeded. In a lengthy and optl- 11 1 jmtstlo address, to except the Republican nomi ,; nation for the Presidency, he declared: "Amor I , '- lea would look with anxiety on the discourage- G$ v ,i . . -r-l.. - j ( ! ment of farming activity, either through the ' I O-ovemnient'a neglect or its paralysis by soclal j istlo practises; and a Republican Admlnlstra ; tlon would be committed to renewed regard for ; agriculture, and seek the participation of ! 1 frarners in curing the ills justly complained of, I 'i ' and aim to Place the American farm where it f , - t ought to be highly ranked In American ac- f 1 I i i ; dvltles and fully sharing the highest good for- 1 f j j Hunes of American life," A mighty pronounce- 1 ' ment! A fine and resonant collection of high- sounding phrases calculated to catch the cred ulity and capture the votes. And now what, after almost a year ot f newer wielded by that gentleman who was so ur of America's looking "with anxiety on jthe discouragement of fanning activity?" sphere is the prophesied Republican Adminis tration's "renewed regard for agriculture?" jWhlther flown that bombast "aim" to have the ) American farm "fully sharing the highest good fortunes of American life?" So far as the five -Menses may discover, the only gentlemen who i g. Idow "look with anxiety on the discouragement j t &ff farming activity are the farmers who, here I 'and there, burn their grain for fuel and every t where wlnoe to the pinch of adverse circum stance. The Republican Administration Is nil (concerned with "anxiety" about the votes It 1 31 i I . 1 i What To Do With Muscle Shoals The Administration has before it three pos sible program with reference to the Muscle ShOate development. , The Government may it self complete this gigantic enterprise and go Into the Industrial field. It may be leased to private management, or It may Je abandoned and the money tied up in it written off as a permanent losa. Tho majority opinion of tho country is against government ownership of any sort of enterprise, even were the present Administra tion inclined towards it, as it is not. 'The admitted possibilities of tremendously satisfac tory returns to tho people from the operation of the plant and the waste Involved In Its scrap ping are making5 such an impression on the Administration and 4ho country that there would be general protest over allowing Muscle flhoals to go to ruin. Henry Ford has made the most definite and comprehensive offer for tho employment of the property in a way to produce dividends, and Ford knows something about the manu facturing industry, whatever be his ignorance of history. Mr. Ford believes he can revolu tionize the manufacture of fertilizer for farm ers and the development of water power fur the benefit of everybody in the Mississippi Valley. Ha should be given an opportunity to make good. Industrial Depression Disappearing The recent drep la interest rates In the fi nancial centers means mere) te the American peeple as a whole than may he thought on first Impressien. Government officials who are studying the laber and industrial situation estimates that one billion dollars now lying idle In banks and trust companies will , oe drawn Into productive enterprise by the new Interest, rates, whioli are the lowest In two years, And as that reservoir ot capital flows back into channels uf activity, 1.000.000 Jobs will bo provided for American workers, says a dispatch from Washington in The New York Herald. This means, says The Herald corre. apondent, a Job next summer for everybody who wants to work. The Herald writer's com mem on me present situation is worthy of careful reading: Manufacturers, promoters and builders are beginning to draw on the cash reserve as Interest rates descend, (".heap money is encouraging expansion of business plants. "all money in New Tork reoently went to 3?i per cent. lurlng the war and in the period of inflation following the armlstrce call money touch 20 per cent. These quota tions show that call money is becoming cheaper. Interest rates have a direct effect on the pocketbook of every family. Govern ment officials point out to those inclined to think of Wall Street as something far away from the dally life of the average worker. Cheap money, It is emphasized, is com ing to mean employment for millions now idle because manufacturers and corpora tion! are beginning to borrow to build ad ditions and lay In stocks of raw materials at present low prices. Workers receive approximately 90 per cent, in the long run of every dollar spent In such ways. The, building to house the expanded faotory is' by workers who get approximately 50 per cent, of what the structure costs. The name proportions hold true for the money ex pended for machinery and raw materials. lHbor constitutes more than 75 per cent, of the cost of producing steel, castings and raw materials like copper ore, coal and the like. The United States Steel; Corporation is now spending $10,000,000 oft additions arid ' betterments. The railroads are buying rolling stock, rails and other supplies. FaVmers are giving orders to mills manu facturing fertilizer. Textile mills are buy ing slocks of raw cotton and wool against the time when business conditions Im prove. Spring Is the time fixed In the minds of officials as tho beginning of an era ot busi ness activity. During the remaining winter months business men and manufacturers will be content If they hold the gains al ready made In climbing out of economic depression. To the workers these galna represent Jobs for at least 2,900,00'o more men and women than were regularly at work a year ago. At that time unemploy ment Involved 800,000 persons, Not more than 2,500,000 are idle now, it is estimated, and the total may be but 2,000,000. If this estimate Is correct this nation Is short Just 1,000,000 jobs, it is pointed out. This is because in normal times at least 1,000,000 workers are continually out of work be cause of the wholesale shifting from one position to .-mother. -4 : Voice Of The People WHO IS THR HARD HBAIiTBD LAXUlXmi) 7 Editor of The Citlxen: Please allow me mai:e enouEl: In your valuable, paper to ask the ones who know the facts In the ease, where the wJUow and her furniture were thrown out.

(By Frederic J. Haskin) Washington, D. C.--The most prolific people in. the United States when they are cHasgifted according to occupation, are foremen, over seers and Inspectors of mines. The wives ot these rnxn bear on an average 4.8 children per wife and each of them has on an average cf 3.9 children, now living. These interesting figures on tho proliferation of the mine foremen Tiave just been issued by the bureau of census as a part of a long tab ulation ot tne American birth rate accoraing to occupation. It is a most interesting tabulation and a, somewhat bewildering one in a way.. It upsets our preconceived nations as to what kinds of people have the, most children and why. It also sheds ,sOm light on that much discussed question as to whether the native population of the United States is maintaining itself or slowly dying out and leav ing the country to tho immigrants. But (before we proceed to gener alizations, let us note some of the astonishing figures which the census bureau has brought out. Next te mine foremen, we find that the most prolific occupational! class in the United States is that of fore men and overseers on steam and eteotric railroads. The wjfe of a traction foreman bears on an aver age 4.2 children of wh'ch 8.8 sur vives. This average mortality ot less than one-half k child nr family is especially creditable to the transportation business. r-oremen and overseers of all kinds seem to have a lot of chil dren and they seem to have good luck in raisinir them. Perhan.ivo. is not surprising. A foreman or overseer is apt to be a workman of more than usual intelligence who nas woraea nis way up, and who receives a good income. Naturally having ljved or. day wages for a mng-time, his will not be as lawyer or doctor. He will not spend as much on luxuries, and so will be more inclined to raise chil dren. THE JANITOR'S FAMILY So much for the foreman. The next most prolific occupational claw wo find to be that of janitors and sextons. The janitors wives aver age 4.1 children per wife, and no less than 3.4 of these rhildren on an average survive to cry at night, steal mUk bogles and put dead rats in the dumb-waiter. Why as many an apartment dweller has l doubtless asked before should I janitors be so philosoprogenltlve? Of course, they get rent aVid heat free and they have the whole base ment for the kids to play around in. But It is surely surnrisinir to find that in the wh,nle United States sonly these two kinds of foremen, janitors and sextons and one other class succeed in begetting an aver age of four or more children per family. In all of the other occupa tional classes Usled, the average number of children born is less than four, and In none of them Is the average number of children living as much as four. Tho mine foreman, with his 3.9 smiling babies, has tho largest avprage family in tho country. For the registration area of the United States the average number f chil dren bom per mother was 3.3, and the average number of children living per mother was 2.9. What we have always heard about the birth rate Is that the population is "dying at the top," by which it is meant that people of wealth and people In the nrofes-' slons have small families, while the laborers and very poor people generally have large famillea. We are usually told that the average woman must raise three children In order to keep up the nonulatlnn and increase It a little. If this is more that the problem of restrict ing and regulating Immigration Is the real population problem In the United States and one which seems nowhere near solution. The surprising thing U) this tab ulation is that it fails to discover any class which is highly prolifb, and reveals, tor Instance that road workers and clergymen run a neck and neck race in the production of children, while garbage men and scavengers have on an average only 7.10 of a child more per family than lawyers, Justices, and Judges. It is true that this tabulation shows the professional clause as averagingbout one-third less pro line man tne people who work for wages In a city; but H gives one SAVOYARD HARDING AND THE CONFER (Special to The Citizen) In some book I have read, nos- sibly in Campbell's Lives and pos-1 sioiy in some other narrative, is related an official interview be tween King George III and Lord Eldon. who at the time was Lord Chancellor and keeper of the king's conscience. There never was a politician who believes more im plicitly in "Divine Right" than Eldon, and he insisted on observing an tne lorms and ceremonies that missioners writ in the treaty guar anteeing tho mainland. The mystery in the treaty con sists of this whether we are will ing to fight to preserve its terms, ' 6r shall we merely polt about It when It is violated? . hedged about a' king long after the very strongly the impresslo.i that I English. Commons cut the head oft the poor man's huee famliv. whih is always held up to us as such an unionunate ana common thing, must be much less common than supposed. If it were common, some oi ine.se averages would inevitably be higher. FACTORY WORKERS. For example, the largest wage earning class in the cities is that of factory workers.

Charles James Fox said of Eldon that all the wis dom of British statesmanship had not injected as much that T,as good In the English, system of govern ment as Eldon had thwarted, or words of that Import. Though no English King has ex ercised the veto power since the advent of the Hanoveran dynasty and thought it would have cost the king his crown and' quite likely his head to attempt to exercise that prerogative, Eldon insisted on all the formalities that had maintain ed when the crown exercised the veto without challenge. Kneeling before the thepne he read acta of parliament, some of them cruelly voluminous, to His Majesty and propounded the useless innulrv ti the king was "content,"' when in I met no Knw and the king knew that the king had to be "content," even had It been a bill designed to dethrone the king. One day the occasion I allude to in the opening sentence of this Piece, the king, after Eldon had been reading statutes for an hour or so, remarked: "That is not the way Thurlow proceeded when he was Lord Chan cellor.
