PSEUDO-PSYCHOLOGISTS AND
NONSENSE.
Apparently no dreamer can
have a nightmare and carry
enough of it, in his waking hours
to form a new theory or a new
cult hut what he can IIml enough
gullible folks to command finite
a following. Here's a, Chicago
policeman, for instance, who
thinks lie’s a real psychologist
and as a result of one of his
rarebit dreamss has started a
crusade against the moving pic
ture shows oil an entirely new
line.
This Chicago reformer has
been reading ' popular treatises
on suggestion, and knows that
the mind receives an intimation
or hint from outside whenever
the eyes see, the ears hear, the
lingers touch, and 'so on. With
this important knowledge on
hand, he asks a law lo prevent
moving picure shows from ex
hibiing films depicting the use
of firearms. His theory that small
boys are incited by seeing revolv
ers. Suggestion—association of
ideas—pistol and boy—crime. It
is all very scientific, ami, there
fore, no moving picture shows
depicting the use of iirearms or
burglars’ tools or any implement
of crime should be tolerated, 'l’hc
funny part of if i« that a society
has been formed in Chicago to
make a crusade against the mov
ing picture shows on the basis of
Che police dreamer’s dream.
The mistake of the Chicago
near-reformer is lhal he woke up
too soon, lie did not waif lo see
the Ifnisli of the moving picture
show. In every movie where
highwaymen, burglars and oilier
vicious heroes are depicted. I In
punishment always follows. The
country would he much belter olT
if criminals in real life were pun
ished as surely and as ‘Severely
as I hey are in the moving pic
ture shows. So. if Ibis "sugges
tion'' I henry works, as I he Chi
cago psemlo-psychologisl would
have us believe, I lie boy who
watches one of the moving pic
lure shows depicting crime must
have an emphatic suggestion lhal
crime is always punished and
does md pay. Hid ore show lilms
that do not depict revolting crime
and do not exploit the criminal
but always show the criminal re
ceiving his punishment may
teach a real lesson and prove a
real moral agent.
PORFIRIO DIAZ.
After thirty years of almost
autocratic rule, Porlirio Diaz
went into exile in order that his
fellow-countrymen might experi
ment with a supposed govern
ment of the people hy the ..pie.
In his absence the Mexican ship
of state has drifted on .the j'orks.
The experiment was a hopeless
failure from the beginning,’not
only because the strength of
Francisco Madero, who . could
(ear down hut not build, was pit
ifully uuc(]unl to the prodigious
task, but also because the only
idea of freedom possessed hy so
many Mexicans is to get what
they want when they want it. re
gardless of law or the rights of
others. Under the provisional
rule of an old soldier, who was
one of the trusted lieutenants of
President Diaz, a semblance on
ly of order has been established
in the republiic.
An election under the forms
of law is to he held in Mexico
this month, and Den. Diaz has
been invited to return to his na
tive land in an advisory capacity.
He has entered upon his eighty
fourth year, but he is still the
ablest, wisest and most influen
tial of living Mexicans. There
arc indications innumerable that
a great majority of thoughtful
and law-abiding Mexican citizens
now feel that their country would
be much better off if he had nev
er been forced to resign. Many
needed reforms, such as the in
stitution of equitable land taxes,
could have been secured under
his rule. Nothing for the good
of Mexico has been accomplish
ed in his absence. Whoever may
be elected president, the Mexican
outlook will be brighter with
aged Don Porflrio back in his
old home.

VALDEZ PEOPLE
MIE OVERDUE
Friends Send Launch to Look for
Mr. and Mrs.-Cann and Jim
Kahler, Who Are Overdue
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Gann and James Kahler, the Val
dez business man, are worried at
the non-arrival here of the Gann
launch from the lisli camp at
Kiniklik. The parly left the camp
early last Saturday on the. trip to
Valdez and have not been seen
since.
John Higgs, the partner of Mr.
Kahler in the Valdez Drug com
pany, has chartered a launch
with instructions to hunt for the
missing party and render such
assistance as may be needed, al
though it is very probable that
the party slopped to hunt ducks,
which are now plentiful down the
Sound. Mr. Biggs, however, is
determined to take no chances
and has sent lire launch with in
structions to make a careful
search for the missing people.
