Lovers of fair play have been unqualifiedly
gratified at the recent decision of the New York
Court of Appeals reversing the action of the lower
courts in the case of Willis V. Cole, a Christian
Science practitioner. A unanimous court decided
that the exception written by the Legislature into
the medical practice act was intended to exclude
from its prohibition the practice of the religious
tenets of the Christian Science or any other church.

SOMETHING GOOD.
(By Phil Armstrong.)
There is something good in everything
If we just know how to find it.
For nothing God made can be so low
That a little of good isn’t left to grow
For there’s always His plan behind
it.
There is something good everywhere
we look—
In nature and in people.
Twas a Master hand this world devised
And the good is there though it be

It happened at a little town in Ohio
A vis ting ICasterner stood on the ve-
randa of a little hotel there, watching
the sun go down in a splendor of pur-
ple and gold.
"By George!" he exclaimed to an
impassive native lounging against a
post: “That’s a gorgepus sunset, isn’t
it?"
The native slanted his head a little
and looked critically at the glowing
West. . ,
"Not bad," he drawled. Not bad for
a little place like Hoopville."
HE HAD SEEN ONE.
The little folks in the first grade
were reading about a dandelion and
the teacher asked who had seen one.
Up went Ben’s hand and the teacher
asked, "Where did you see a dande-
1onn the circus!” was the confident
reply.

New York newspapers express surprise that
Frank Taff, the man who slew the Sheriff of
Queens County, had been allowed to remain at
large prior to this tragedy when it was known
fret he went armed and suspected to be mentally
unsound. Taff, it appears, had frequently fight-
^■d people by reckless shooting, and yet it took
$ tragedy to convince everyone who knew him that
to really should not have been allowed to remain
free.
There is nothing remarkable about this incident.
It is the same did story we read at school of the
rock in the rood and the men who passed around
it No one thought it his business to remove the
rock, just as no one apparently thought it his busi-
ness to have the New York man restrained.
we’all know of conditions which could and
should be bettered, but we are prone to let them
alone so long as we feel that we are not personally
concerned. It takes a great fire to demonstrate
the need for building codes; a great steamship
disaster to make the public realize the need for
enforcement of maritime regulations; a street
tragedy to stir us up about traffic regulations.

A Houston man spent forty days in jail await-
ing trial on a charge of which he was absolutely
innocent. It appears that he was poor and had
co wealthy or influential friends. Therefore, al-
though the case against him was dismissed as soon
as it was called, he served a jail term of more
than one month while awaiting trial.
Austin has had perhaps fewer instances com-
parable to this than any other city in ths State.
One reason is that we have usually had judges
•nd peace officers well acquainted with the city
•nd its people, and therefore not likely to force a
man of good character, however poor, to spend
time in jail awaiting trial. In the police court
here, cases are usually tried as soon as possible
after an arrest is made, and while defendants
bound over to the grand jury have had to spend
considerable time in jail, there have not been a
great many instances of the kind. )
But the thing is possible here as well as else-
where and the officers are hampered by existing
rules of procedure, so that it would not be at all
remarkable if some innocent man should serve in
our County Jail a longer term than could be given
him if guilty, while awaiting trial.

A FAIR DECISION.
One of th* unusual features about
th* Lasky-Paramount production of
“Wthchraft," which will be seen at
th* Crescent today with the captivat-
ing Fannie Ward in the stellar role,
is the fact that this is the photo-
drama which won the prise contest
held at Columbia University under the
auspices of the Jesse L. Lasky Feature
Play Company.
The author of this intense and un-
usual drama is Dr. R. Ralston Reed, a
physician of Morristown, N. J., and
one of the members of the new class
in photodramatics at the celebrated
New York University. Dr. Reed is not
; a professions! writer of scenarios but
his story was held by the judges to
be the best example of photodra-
matic technique among the scores of
plays submitted.
Prof. V. O. Freeburg at Columbia
started the class last winter and as
soon as Samuel Goldfish, of the Fa-
mous Players -Lasky Company, heard
of the class, he offered the co-opera-
tion of the Iasky Company in conduct-
ing a contest ‘for the best photoplay
written during the initial year of the
class. William De Mille, the celebrated
Lasky director, also a Columbia alum,
nus, who has been actively identiited
with the producing part of the Iasky
Company, acted as the principal judge
and read all the manuscripts submit-
ted.
In addition to receiving a substan-
tial sum for the photodrama. Dr. Reed
was also given a trip to the LaskY
Company’s studio at Hollywood, at the
expense of (he company, where he met
Fannie Ward, the charming star and
also saw the play in the process ‘or .
the making. It was Dr. Reed s first
visit to a motion picture studio and
it.

If you kissed a masked girl in the
dark, and enjoyed it, how would you
go about finding her again when she
eluded you and slipped back among
I a whole bevy of dancers? Owen Moore
decided upon the delightful process
of try’ng to kiss them all until he
found the right one again! Of course.
It would be well to explain that Mr.
Science says that the loudness of
sounds varies inversely as the square
of the distance. This is merely anoth-
er way of wiving that if you walk
three -times as far away from the
source of the sound as you were before.
Its lodnesg will not he one-third what
it was, but one-ninth what it was, for
9 is the square of 3.
On the other hand, the density of
the medium which conveys sound i«
very important. On a frosty nght the
air is dense. One consequence of this
is that an automobile runs better, be-
cause the engine gets larger supplies
of oxygen Another result is that
sounds are heard more loudly. How-
ever, the report of a gun high up in
the mountains is like the sound of in
exploded firecracker.
Today is Wilson Day, and if the 400,000 voters
in Texas would come across with one “buck" each
it would help “some.”
"Watchful waiting” is nearly over, as far as
the presidential election is concerned.

The electric car and automobile is steadily
forcing the tiny and artistic rikisha to the wall in
Japan Not so very long ago Tokio was filled with
ileet rikisha runners. Wealthy families boasted
of their kuruma men. But these fast runners, tall
end strong, are now scarcely met with, according
to reports.
Today the Japanese gentleman who can afford
neither carriage or motor car, haa a bright looking
kuruma hung on glittering bicycle wheels with
huge pneumatic tires. With the reduction of the
number, the price of the public rikisha has steadily
increased until it has almost become a luxury for
the masses of the people. The two passenger ku-
ruma which used to figure in elopments and double
suicides has entirely disappeared.

France ordered her soldier* to shave and the
long-honored mustache of the English soldier may
soon be a thing of the paat. - By a revised army
regulation hirsute adornments are said to have
fallen before the advance of the grim reaper—
usually some brand of American safety razor.
Old-timers in the army, it is reported, regret the
passing of this "mark of the soldier," but the
youngsters who have been struggling to grow a
respectable appearing mustache will breath a dis-
tinct sigh of relief. It was comparatively easy in
the old days to control the army mustachios, hut
in the tremendous new fighting machine now mar-
tialed under the Union Jack they-had gotten com-
pletely "out of bounds" and bad begun to border
on the ridiculous.
So an order has been issued striking out the
fateful words “but not the upper lip” from
paragraph No. 1696 of the King s regulations. This
paragraph originally read:
"The hair of the head will be kept short. The
chin and underlip will be shaved, but not the upper
lip. Whiskers, if -worn, will be of moderate
length.’
In an attempt to comply with the regulation, and
at the same time to enjoy the freedom of a lean
shaven face, upper-lip and all, many of the new
subalterns and Tommies developed what is known
as the tooth-brush mustache. There were such
variations as the “tusk,” the " flytrap, 'the flick
sardonic" and the "gingered pert," while some
even went so far as to affect a "Kaiser twist.
