Labor Leaders Protest
Against Anti-Strike Law
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., March 22.—Presi
dent Gompers and Secretary Morrison,
of the American Federation of
have presented to Attorney General
Gregory a protest against the decla
ration of the Supreme Court in the
Adamson law decision that the right
of railroad employes to strike is lim
ited by the public Interest.
The labor leaders declared the court
had gone out of its way to Inject this
"reactionary" assertion into its opinion.
Weighing the Movies
Experts, who have balanced the
good with the bad of the motion pic
tures, hold that the influence is
eighty-five per cent, good, according
to Ellery F. Reed who describes In the
May Mother's Magazine a recent in
vestigation directed by the graduate
department of sociology of Clark Uni
versity. Following are Some of the
conclusions reached:
The movie is a great teacher of so
ciology. It Is no longer true that "one
half does not know how the other half
lives.'' The broad outlook on social
conditions the photoplay is giving to
the masses is laying the foundation
for vast social and economic changes.
In sex relations the photoplay is
standing for high ideals. Love between
the sexes forms a part of almost every
plot. Immoral relations or scenes sug
gestive of such sometimes appear, but
are almost invariably condemned by
the general atmosphere of the play.
Was the movie found wanting in
clean, healthy atmosphere? A number
of the plays were sermons 011 gam
bling, theft, selfishness, unfaithful
ness, drunkenness, immorality and so
cial Injustice. The moral lessons of
the pictures were more effective for
the absence of exhortation. The
drama of life with all its intricate,
conflicting emotions, its succession of
cause and effect, Us pain, its injustice,
its joys and its rewards, Is more vivid
ly seen than in life Itself.
The personal life and environment
of the observer fade away. Ho lives
with the heroes and heroines on the
screen. Their problems, their suffer
ings, their regrets, their Joys, their
victories are keenly felt by the ob
server. He sees that suffering in
evitably follows evil and injustice and
that happiness follows virture, justice
and love. The photoplay has been
weighed in the balance nd in the
large has not been found wanting.

COMMON SENSE
MOTHERS BEST
Inquiry About Where Daugh
ters Spend Spare Time Would
Prevent Many Tragedies
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1916, Star Company.
In a college town lives a beautiful
young girl whose mother is gifted
with the unusual asset of common
sense. When the telephone rings It
is the mother who answers, and when
a masculine voice asks for her daugh
ter, the mother inquires who wishes
to speak with her daughter. If the
name Is given and the mother knows
the speaker the daughter is allowed
to converse over the telephone In the
mother's presence.
On, at least, a half dozen occa
sions, the names have been refused,
saying simply, "Oh, just tell your
daughter it is a friend -Wishes to speak
with her." "But," said the mother,
"unless you aro willing to give your
name I do not care to have you
speak with my daughter."
On these several occasions the
name has been refused and the
mother very sensibly has hung up
the receiver, greatly to the daughter's
amusement, be it said.
Remember, this girl is only fifteen,
and quite possibly, more than prob
ably, the voices of the speakers be
long to boys not many years her
senior. Nevertheless, the situation
is purely American and indicates on
what free-and-easy lines the average
girl is educated.
Careful Mother HcolTed as Crank and
Considered Very Strict.
This mother has been called a
crank, and her rules are considered
very strict. She is told that among
all the girls' acquaintances no other
mother insists upon knowing who is
talking to her daughter over the tele
phone. Then more is the pity.
In two high schools, not many
miles removed from the little town
wherein this girl resides, tragedies
and scandals have occurred which
have marred the lives of many
young girls. Statistics are in the
writer's possession regarding these
high schools. Statistics so appalling
that they make one wonder there are
not more cases like that of Marian

TELEGRAPH
Lambert and William Orpet.
If you have daughters or sons at
tending high school or public school,
dear madame, it would be worth your
while to pay a little more attention
to the telephone calls which your
children are giving and receiving otit
of school hours.
It will be worth your while to
know where your children go at the
noon hour and the recess hour, and
if they do not come home directly
from school to know where they have
been and who have been their as
sociates,
Of vast importance is it for you
to keep in very close sympathy and
touch with your young daughters if
you live in a college town. The aver
age youth who is sent away to col
lege knowß nothing of the sacredness
or the dangers which lie in sex at
traction.
William Orpet, the youth now
awaiting trial for the murder of Mar
ian Lambert, was a freshman sent
away to college by his parents with
out the least instruction on this im
portant subject. It was his pride and
boast that he could win the confi
dence and overcome the prudence of
any young girl.
Fact That Youth Attends Well Known
College Is Not Character Certificate.
The fact that a youth attends some
well known college seems to some
silly mothers and fathers to be con
sidered a certificate of character.
They do not realize how college boys
under the influence of drink or in
the intoxication of youthful conceit
boast of their successes with girls and
besmirch their names by-frequent ut
terance in public places.
It is much better for you to be
called a crank and to win the repu
tation of over-caution as a mother
than for you to run the risk of ever
occupying the position of Mrs. Lam
bert before the world.
Impress your young daughter, as
this sensible mother has done, that
it is little short of an insult when
any boy or man calls for- her over
the telephone and refuses to give his
name to you. Such experiences
cheapen a girl, and she should make
It known to all her boy friends that
she so understands the situation.
