Poor Opinion of Politicians
Gditor Statesman: f
The resignation of Edgar R.
Ray, the prohibition administrator
for. western Pennsylvania. . with
his statement that the govern
ment; has no real. Intention of en
forcing the prohibition law, is an
Interesting itein. "althoagh there
are plenty of indications that " it
is destined to be smothfred and
hushed op. It Is about as wel
come to the enforcement organiza
tion as" were the remarks of Col.
Mitchell to the navy departments
Mr. Ray told the truth. The
enforcement organization has put
in, most of its time firing; blank
cartridges, which make lots . of
noise but don't ...hurt anybody.
Chasing bootleggers is great sport
and doetn't disturb political align
ments like real enforcement
would. What would-you think , of
a law against horse stealing which
Indulgently ovei looked the man
who furnished a market by buying
the stolen animals, and insisted
that penalties should be Inflicted
solely on the farmer who, raised
the horses in the first place?
A majority of the. people want
prohibition enforced, but very few
of them get a chance to help do
it. The enforcement officers are
all politician's, and veyy few poli
ticians are sincere about anything;
Host of them are neither real pro
hibltlonists nor antis; they' are
policy men, willing to make a big
noise, at the proper time, but, care;
ful always to n,ojt offend "ileople
who cunt'pepje who. ' have
wealth, ' 'position and influence.
and; are tthe' bootleggers' best cua-
tonie'rs. ; pccasionally the pdwers
appbinftb the force, som? vocifer
ous preacher ''wlthqtit executive
ability -or practical knowledge of
what he Is up against, for the pur
pose of making a monkey of him
and' having a good laugh. They
have the laugh, all right, and the
preacher usually 'becomes very
tame before they get through see
sawing hfin. Prohibition cannot
be enforced by shouting "Hallelu
iah."
Probably, thero is not a police
man 'or othef- penal officer in.Sa
'.em who does not' TcnoW where
there " is unlawful liquor. ..They
will deny it, of course, the same as
the Portland police innocently de

What Has Gone Before j
SYLVIA THORN 3 - has risen
from extra girl to playing small
parts in pictures for International.
Before going into pictures she was
Mary McKenna, of Millersburg,
Pa. She keeps house in a Holly
wood bungalow with
IJEAN MARTIN also in the
movies. In love with Slyvia is
'.- HOWARD .BENNETT," young
business man of Millersburg, a
schooltime friend. Sylvia's friends
in Hollywood are quiet, hardwork
ing people, whUe Jean travels in a
rather fast set.. Making love to
Jean is
S Y D N EY HARMON, young
movie director, a married flirt.
His wife
ISC-BEL HARMON, former
southern society girl, suspects his
attentions to one of the girls, but
cannot determine which one, as he
also makes extravagant love to
Sylvia, who, however, scorns him
and advisee Jean to break1 with
him for the sake of her reputa
tion. Sylvia is chosen to play the
leading role In a big new picture
for International, "The Miracle of
Notre Dame," which excites the
envy of Jean and the other girls
who hoped to be given the part.
Sylvia's friends rejoice, however,
and as she is to go to New York
as a publicity stunt before begin
ning the "Miracle," they give a
number of affairs in her honor.
Returning from- one of them
late' one night -Sylvia finds Jean
ill and slipping off her evening
clothes and donning a light negli
gee she goes to the kitchen' to get
a hot drink. Answering a knock
at the door, which' she thinks may
be a messenger, Sydney Harmon,
very drunk,' stumbles in and will
not leave Until Sylvia promises to
kiss him. This she at last con
sents to do to get rid of him and
avoid a scandal. As he folds her
in his arms, Mrs. Harmon's voice
sounds coldly behind them and
with her are Sheila Anderson, one
of the contestants for the "Mir
acle" part, and "Wally" Pickering,
gag man. Sylvia has no chance to
explain. She wakes Jean and asks
her to talk to Mrs. Harmon and
exonerate her, but Jean refuses.
Now Go On With the Story
TWELVE -V"'
The stories told about Sylvia
were originated by Sheila Ander
son and Wally Pickering, and
helped along assiduously by every
woman jealous of Sylvia's recent
success, were amazingly grotesque.
and worse.
There were details, it seemed,
which could only be whispered, be
hind discreetly eager palms de
tails which varied,' -grew, with
each new telling. Sylvia and Syd
ney had been together for an hour
-two hours drinking. Miss An
derson had seen a half-empty
whiskey bottle, and glasses, on the
table. Sylvia had received him in
her nightgown -her lingerie. A
bachanalfan revel, clearly. They
had been discovered locked in eacl
other's arms, in the living-room
the bedroom here the details be
came unprintable, depending" on
the imagination of the person tell
ing the story. Mrs. Harmon had
barred her husband from the
house had decided to bring suit
for divorce on the best or worst
possible grounds. Sylvia and
Sydney had been lovers for
months, the affair cleverly screen
ed by his attentions to Jean Mar
tin. They were to be married as
soon as Mrs. Harmon secured her
divorce.
"Perfectly disgusting!" Sheila
Anderson announced to a group of
friends, on the United lot. "And
to think how we all fell for that
little girl line of hers! I always
said she was too good to be pos
sible." Serenely unaware of the stir she
had created, yet by no means blind
to the possibility of It, Sylvia pass
ed the gate. at. the International lot
and hastened to Paul Lamar's of
fice. She had hoped, still hoped,
in fact, that Sydney Harmon' had
followed his wife the night before,
explained things to her, admitted
he was drunk, and that she, Syl
via, was quite blameless in the
matter. It was a vain hope; had
Sydney been mble to 'see his wife
that night it is probable that he
would have told her the truth,. but
when he reached the sidewalk she
had driven off, and the barred
door of his house had forced him
to take refuge at bis club. Mrs.
Harmon was not a vindictive wom
an but she had suffered a great
deal at her husband's hands, and
this time she was determined . to
teach him a lesson.
s Arrived ' at Mr. Lamar's office,
Sylvia . addressed his , sphinx-eyed
secretary. Miss Ream, with eager
confidence. .
"I must see Mr. Lamar at once,"
she said,- a certain wistfulness in
her voice. "It is most important."
She did not ask if he was In. Miss
Ream disappeared into the rear of
fice with a curt nod; she had not
envied Sylvia her screen' success,
but she had resented her super
ior's very apparent Interest in the
girl. In a few momenta ;she was
back again, leaving the door be-.

, 'Mr.Larmer will see you," she
said crisply, resuming her seat at
the typewriter Sylvia went swift
ly into the inner room.
It wa3 a large room, very plain
ly furnished. . In s p i t e of the
gorgeousness be lavished on his
productions, Paul Lamar in his
personal life maintained an atmos
phere of simplicity. Some said it
was a pbse, but. they did him an
injustice. A big man, both men
tally and physically, he had no
time for trifles. As Sylvia came
up to his desk he rose, put out
his hand.
thought you would come,"
he said gently. "Sit down."
Sudden tears" rose to Sylvia s
eyes as she felt the friendly pres
sure of his hand; at least he had
met her without having first
judged her.
"You've heard?" she asked
faintly. , "
".Yes all sorts of . things."
"And believed them?" .
"I never believe, any stories
about people until I've heard both
sides. Tell me yours.'
Sylvia told him, simply, direct
ly, sparing Jean as far as she
could, yet making no martyr of
herself on her friend's account.
She implied that Sydney's affair
with the girl had been a harmless
one, as indeed she had no reason
to doubt.
"Of course," she concluded, 'l
wasn't strong enough to throw
him out. And., I was terribly
afraid that if J didn't get rid of
him somehow., -and quickly, his
presence in the house would be
come known. . Jean was sick in
bed and .couldn't , do. anything. g0
when he promised to go at once,
if I'd,;let him kiss me. I 1 told
him to go ahead. It may have
been foolish but there didn't seem
to.be anything else to do, except
run off and call for help. And
you; can imagine what that would
have meant. And just at that mo
ment, when I'was trying to push
him away from me, his wife
came." Her voice trailed off into
rather a dismal silence. Some
how, even to herself, the story
sounded weak, unconvincing. "You
believe me, don't you?"
Mr. Lamar sat drumming on the
top' of the desk with his finger
nails. For a full -moment the
room was so still that Sylvia could
hear the ticking of his wrist watch
the beating of her heart.
"Of. course I believe you," he
said presently. "And under the
circumstances I don't see what
else you could have done. It was
unfortunate, as matters turned
out, that you had to. let him in in
the first place. " Ami a great pity
that you did not insist on explain
ing matters to Mrs.' Harmon and
the people with her then and
there."
"I-tried to. She wouldn't lis
ten. Before I knew it she was
gone."
"I understand."
"And I expectod her husband to
follow her tell her the truth. He
certainly had every reason to."
Mr. Lamar shOok his head.

ple hear my side ' "
Again 'Paul Lamar shook his
head, and the look of sympathy In
his eyes deepened.
"I'm afraid you don't know the
world very well, my dear girl." he
said. "People ome people -if
it did not sound cynical I would be
tempted to say most people are
only too ready, even glad, to judge
- condemn without waiting to
hear both sides of a story, ,,Don
you realize that this scandal or
aUeged scandal has already ,bee'n
flashed to every newspaper office
in the country?"
"But " Sylvia's cheeks grew
even paler now, and she sat up
very straight "they won't pub
lish it! They wouldn't, dare?"
"On the contrary, ; I have posi
tive knowledge that they will pub
lish it. The whole story will ap
pear in the Los Angeles papers
this afternoon. And I can't stop
it.- Mr. Solberg can't stop it. God
knows, we would, Jjuick enough, it
we could, not only for your sake,
but for the sake of the picture
business as a whole. But we
can't."
"How dare they - publish any
thing that isn't true?" Sylvia
asked stormily.
"What they publish will be true.
The facts as they stand. That Mr.
Harmon did find, you and her hus
band together found you in fact,
iii his arms. at an early hour this
"morning. That you were, to.' put
it plainly, very unconventionally
dressed, and that as a result Mrs.
Harmon Is threatening a divorce.
These things are facts, and you
may be very .sure that the news
papers, throughout the country
will know how to present those
facts in their most damning light
without laying themselves open to
suits for libel. I have just been
talking with a friend of mine on
one of the Los Angeles papers. He
would do a great deal for me for
our company but with all the
other papers running the story,
how can I ask him to suppress it?
And what good would It do, if he
did? Sheila Anderson has given
a sworn statement of what occur
red, to the newspapers. Ko has
Pickering. Mrs. Harmon has told
the reporters to see her lawyers.
Mr. Harmon is in hiding some
where, and refuses. Jo talk. All
those things are trueand no news
paper in the country will hesitate
to publish them. , They will be
after you. too rwijl want..to print
your story. I wonder they haven't
approached you already."

STATE DISPOSES
OF
Will Bring Over $4000, and
Put Flax Plant in Clear
j on Hemp Supply J v
V
In 1 9 23V under ; the , &nsun
fad ministration, " the state liax
plant made va contract for grow
ing hemp, for experimental pur
poses. It grew so abundantly, on.
the Lake Lablsh beaverdain lands,
that the quantity waa embarassing,
as. it took up a iot of " storage
space, and there couldt be found
no way to work it up profitably
for the markets. It would have
cost too' much money for "-machinery
or other facilities, unless the
ptate wanted to stay in the hemp
Industry and .this seemed "inad
visable, as' 'the inmates- smoked j.
the leaves for hasheesh, or "marw
awauna." a mild opiate. And the J
state flax plant had its hands fulL
any way, with flax. I
Finally, last winter John Quln
land. superintendent of the indus
tries at the prison, worked up the
hemp by .etting and treating It.
and he has been-trying to find a
market for' it.; . . , .
He has Just had a firm offer
from a New' York concern for a
car load of the fiber, at: J 120 a
ton, and has accepted the offer.
About 35 tons can be put into
a car, una this will bring . about
$4200. This will about; put the
state in the clear -that - is, will
about- give-back - the money paid
to the growers lor thehemp in the
first Tlaee,'r and leave the state
with's-oout half its supply to be
disposed' of.' ' " -
So there, may be a profit on the
hemp experiment,' after all for the
state. And It has been conclusive
ly 'proved that ' ' we can ; produce
hemp here; an almost embarassing
quantity of it on a small acreage.
Theaime will -come when; jtta
hemp industry will be develop -d I
here, along with the flax industry
The great, Belfast linen industry,
uses a lot of hemp, along with
flax, in making, various kinds of
textiles sails for ships, lining?"
for making rubber boots and belt
ing, and various other things. ,
The Belfast hemp comes mostly
from Italy.. That country can
jrrow- no better hemp than -can be
produced on our beaverdam lands;
nor a greater tonnage per acre.
The late Mrs. W.. P.- Lord made
the first experiments here in grow
ing hemp, on her Lake v Lablsh
beaverdam farm'. . ' .. -
