RABBI DENOUNCES
VICE PROBLEM PLAY
Declares Home and Not the Stage
Is Place For Discussion
of Such Matters
Philadelphia, Jan. 12. —Two promi
nent Jewish rabbis, in sermons deliv
ered at their synagogues yesterday,
discussed two vital topics of public
interest. Rabbi Isaac Landman, in
Temple Keneseth Israel, denounced
the wide publicity given to vice prob
lems, declaring that persons who
would have no knowledge of the sub
ject otherwise are being made familiar
with it, so that a bad effect upon pub
lic morals is produced. Rabbi Henry
Berkowitz, at. Rodef Shalom Syna
gogue, defended the much-discussed
address of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presi
dent-emeritus of Harvard University,
in which he expounded his views of
modern religion.
Rabbi, Landman said the present
RUB BACKACHE AWAY
HIHJU NE OIL
The Moment You Rub Your Sore, i
Lam* Back AH Paid Goes
OLD TIME ST. JACOBS OIL
Get a Small Trial Bottle and Put
An End to Lumbago and
Backache at Once
When your back Is sore and lame
or lumbago, sciatica or rheumatism
has you stiffened up, don't suffer!
Get a small trial bottle of old, honest
"St. Jacobs OU" at any drug store,
pour a little in your hand and rub it
right into your back, and by the time
you county fifty, the soreness and
lameness is gone.
Don't stay crippled! This soothing,
penetrating oil needs to be used only
once. It takes the aohe and pain
right out and ends the misery. It la
magical, yet absolutely harmless and
doesn't burn or discolor the skin.
Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica
and lame back misery so promptly
and surely, it never disappoints!

MONDAY EVENING,
anti-vice agitation was based on a
psychological fallacy. He said the
abuses of prudery could not be elimi
nated by indiscriminate publicity to
tho base and foul, but only by frank
discussion in the home between par
ents and children.
"To transfer the underworld to the
stage and on moving picture films,
labeled 'strong moral lesson' as a|
warning to the youth of the land!
against immorality, is another psycho
logical fallacy. These plays and pic
tures invariably conclude their stories
with 'a happy ending.' They never
carry their audiences to view the in
evitable wages that are paid for sin.
Boys and girls, who lack the power
gained from moral and spiritual train
ing in the home, will be more readily
led to follow evil inclinations or fall
into the net of temptation by exhi
bitions such as these.
"The agitation of suffragette lead- '
ers. in New York, to continue the I
showing of Illms and plays that have j
been prohibited by the police, is in
line with their idea that the possession
of the ballot by the women will cure
all our ills. No more than the ballot
1 can vote strength of character into the
souls of men, can publicly flaunted
loathsomeness inspire morality In the
souls of children.
Home; Not Stage
"The place to teach morality is the
home, not the stage. The place to
mold character Is In the home,
through parental influence, and not
in the ballot box, through legislative
enactments. If the character of em
ployers and merchants were the result
more of a mother's creation than of
the influences resulting from wide
publicity, there would be little need
for most of the moral legislation that
ts now being waged. I
"The agitation for public instruction !
of sex hygiene has a similar and more j
vital weakness. It ts a sign of the
degeneration of the modern home and
of parental Influence. The State edu
cates our children, teaches the boys a
craft or a trade, - and the girls home
economics."
Dr. Berkowltz's sermon was a reply
to the critics of Dr. Eliot's views. He
denied that Dr. Eliot was Irreverent
and charged the average minister with
being out of touch with the news of
the day, knowing nothing of modern
politics and his mind a blank on lit
erature and art.

Letters to the Editor
A GROWL AND A HOWL IX THE
NAME OF ART
To the Editor of The Telegraph.
Did you hear that Harrisburg lias
been taken? Xo. I don't mean by
storm, but by tho movies. There isn't
a town or city in the country that can
boast the surfeit of films of Pennsyl
vania's Capital City. Good Lord, de
liber us from de destroyer! Run all
the *\ay up Market street, or down
for that matter; and he who runs
may read—"Movie! Movie!" Hurdy
gurdy music clashes and drones out
that the films are on, and they're
making shoot-the-chute time. The
tourists that come to our city must
certainly have a strong opinion of
Harrisburg's good taste. Posters, fear
fully and wonderfully made, stare bra
zenly at you from half a dozen bijous
in three minutes' walk along Harris
burg's Broadway. Pathe's posters are
about the worst. They make you think
of the night you ate Welsh rabbit,
and piked off to bed and dreams.
Xow the übiquitous movie has in
vaded our one high class theater, the
Majestic—the last place In the town
for It. Months agone, we. In an evil
hour, went to the Majestic to see the
"Prisoner of Zenda" films with the
handsome James K. Hackett cavorting
before the camera. Oh, Jtmmie, why
did you do it? The Majestic—we are
judging from :he Hackett firms —is
the worst place in town for moving
pictures. The "Zenda" firms were all
out of focus, and handsome James
looked as If he had been dragged
through a clothes wringer. His lead
ing woman suggested the sea serpent
—no fault of hers, just the focusing,
you know. We paid forty cents for
two seats, and had seen better photo
. plays in other houses for a nickel.
I Xow listen, Majestic! We all love you
| since you've cut out the burlesques,
and given us so much that Is worth
while. Go just one step farther, and
say, "Nevermore!" to any movie that
taps at your chamber door.
"These "white slave" films! In Phil
adelphia. the authorities got on the
job, and pulled In or off a few offend
ing feet of the well posed "really
truly" tales of the "traffic" business
Are those the pictures that are at the
Majestic? We don't know. So many
"reformers" are now filling their poc
kets with vice movie proceeds that it's
hard to tell which Is which or who's
who In the "traffic" pictures. (If you
don't take me word tor it about the
"pulling" read the Philadelphia notes.
In the current Dramatic Mirror). Re
form! What crimes against good taste
and decency are done in thy name!
The vice films have all about town
posters of a masculine snake sporting
a man's bead and a olgaret. Do you
know.the tapeworm picture suggested
to me HIOHO very movie vice stories
themselves!
Last week waa a bIK week at the
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Majestic. Anticlimax this week! We
all went back to "The Old Home
stead," and felt young and innocent.
Most of us I hope. skipped the
"High Hollers." Then came "Dam
aged Goods" which tried to give a lot
of advice. Everybody rushed out be
tween acts to get peppermints—and
other things—to take the dark brown
taste out of the inouth. First act, a
doctor's office and much hygiene; sec
ond act, good dramatic work; third
act, doctor and medicine again—for
all the world, like taking a pill before
and after dinner. But the acting was
mighty good. Then we went back to
our classics, and with the aid of pe
tite, dainty Annie Russell, brushed up
our Goldsmith. My, my, but 'twas a
delight! Then came "Within the Law,"
the sure-tire hit of the twentieth cen
tury. Not the best company of "With
in the Law," by any means—not Jane
Cowlnor, Margaret Illington nor Helen
Ware, but good, with Virginia Mllli
man In the lead.
This week at the Orphcum, we have
the cigarot Fatima adorning the
boards. We have not seen her—her
picture was quite enough. Not having
very much face, she wins her salary by
showing her stomach; but face, stom
ach and all, she's about as wholesome
to look at as the Fatimas you get for
fifteen cents a bunch.
We're hoping for better things next
week.
HOWELL AYS.
SIX FOR A QUARTER
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
It's not push buttons in trolley cars
or whether the traction company man
agement permits its men to smoke or
does not instruct them in the first
principles of ventilation that interests
us daily riders. It's when is the trac-
I tton-company going to give six tickets
for a quarter. The company, if we
may believe the bond prospectuses
sent out. is making money, and as it
got by its reorganization without hav
ing to give the city anything in the
way of an agreement like the electric
company did, it is up to the company
to mhke some concessions to the peo
ple. The management could very well
afford to put the six-ticket book on
sale again and it would make it friends
In the time when it will need them.
