Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- og class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922 THE WAY OF DELIVER- ANCE FROM EVIL Never has there been a time when science and research more clearly pointed the way to constructive ac- tion to eliminate the evils of the times than in this year of grace, nineteen hundred and twenty-two. We know, or may easily find out, how to control almost every ill to which human flesh is heir. The fault is in ourselves that we suffer as we do from catastrophes and tragedies that could be avoided if only we would accept the help that is freely and fully offered to us. It is only because of the colossal capacity of the human mind to re- sist knowledge, and because of the selfishness that prevents each from acting for the benefit of the commu- nity, that keeps us slaves to cir- cumstances which can only bring unhappiness and suffering in their wake. Medical science has told us how to prevent the major part of the disease which every year takes such high toll in life and econ- omic loss. Science has told us how to prevent the great catas- trophes of nature, floods and fam- ipe. Common sense and the or- ganization whose business it is to fight fires, tell us how to avoid those hazards that occasion prac- tically all the fires. And we will not listen. Having eyes to see, we see not; having ears to hear, we hear not; and then we bemoan the unhappiness of our fate that we must pay the price of our folly. It has been the subject of much jest that the people of the late Ger- man empire were so circumscribed in their actions by the ubiquitous sign, "Verboten". But the Ameri- can people need, and need badly, a few restrictions put upon their freedom of action in such ways as impose hardships upon the general public. With laws, and their en- forcement, to control the cutting down of trees on hillsides and to direct the care of farms in those sections in which floods originate, we should avoid the yearly loss of crops and property under which the population in the lowlands along the river courses suffer. With laws, and their enforcement, to control the keeping of dogs we should avoid the yearly toll of injury to children. With laws, and their enforcement, to care for the protection of the public against contagious disease we should be a much more healthy nation than we are today. With laws, and their enforcement, to pro- tect the children against labor in mines and factories that deprives them of their childhood and their chance of a normal development into manhood and womanhood, we should be able to look forward to ap America of the future whose people should be fit specimens of the race of the proud and the free. Perhaps this is the day of the Be elopmant of knowledge to ap- ply for the prevention of catastho- phe. Perhaps tomorrow will be the day of its application. Then today is the day for education and the development of a public con- science that will hasten the time when there will be no excuse ready for those against the general good. who offend | BACK HIM UP Will Hays, mentor of the public morals and director of the motion picture policies, has decreed that the objectionable features of mov- iedom must be eliminated, that pic- tures must be made without catering to the worst in the public taste. The educational character of the movies is recognized, because of the constancy of attendance by young people and the unavoidable effect that the pictures that they see have upon their habits of thought. Every film is educational, but few of them teach lessons in which it is desirable that the general public should be structed. Mr. Hays is going "to change all that." The decent pub- lic and those of a taste at all culti- vated will pray for more strength to his elbow. If they will back their prayer with work and give their moral support to the effort to improve the character of the films while they withhold their financial support from those that need im- provement, there will come a success that will startle even the director- general of the motion picture in- dustry and encourage him in his efforts to keep up with a task that is herculean in its proportions. ta Grant Keehn returned Tuesday from a trip in the East, where he went to attend commencement at Hamilton College. -- rn Mr. and Mrs. D'Aix and their niece have returned after an extended motor trip in the East.
