“ The “ solid South” is no longer a realty, re
marks Dr. Edwin Hirns,-professor of English litera
ture at Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tenn.
The Civil W ar is over, he thinks, as far as the South
is concerned. But he speaks regretfully of “ an
other civil war that is now being fought out in
every community and state in the South” and of
“ another reconstruction that is synonymous with
the rebuilding of the old commonwealth.”
“ The fight is on” , he says, “ between the pro
gressive and liberals on one side and the conserva
tives and reactionaries on the other.
“ In this present w ar the progressives arc fight
ing for economic efficiency* for widespread intelli
gence, for the right of Criticism, for freedom o f
thought, for genuine nationalism.” He thinks they
are going to win.

A business commentator calls attention to a
general movement throughout the worlt| to restrict
production.
Japanese producers have decided to purtail
their output British interests in East- India have
been restricting the crude copper supply, and have
now started cutting down the tea snpply by letting
the tea spoil in the fields unpicked.^ Brazil restricts
the exportation of coffee and is discouraging further
planting. E gypt cuts down the cotton acreage. A ll
this is done to boost prices.
So it goes, in country after country. In the
United States there is a strong demand for reduc
tion of cotton acreage, and some agricultural author
ities have urged the curtailment of wheat production.
I t should hardly be necessary to say that all
this is unsound economics, contrary to the welfare
of the human race as a whole and tending, in the
long run, to the disadvantages of even those local
areas which may seem temporarily to benefit by
curtailment.
It is by greater production of food, clothing
and other essentials that civilization progresses and
men and nations gain in wealth and welfare.
Current misfortunes connected with large pro
duction are really due to inadequate distribution.
I f all those who are interfering with the natural
tendency to increase production of commodities
would turn their attention to improving distribution,
they might accomplish something infinitely more
valuable for humanity.
Miami Beach, Florida, has n group pf club wo
men that are different from many of their sifters
over the country in that they are not meddlesome
reformers. As soon as Mrs. Chaplin filed suit for
divorce from the famous comedian, women’s clubs
began an agitation to bar his films from public
showings.
The Miami Beach women, taking the
more sensible view of the affair, have urged the
owners of their picture theatres to exhibit every
film obtainable that features Chaplin.
They are
doing this, they say, to counteract the “ silly ”
actions of other clubs.
Chaplin may be a celebrity, but that is no rea
son why bis marital troubles should be aired public--
ly. The fact that he is defendant in a divorce court
is no just reason for barring him from the theatres
any mbre than it would l»e just for barriug the
come estranged from hi« ’w ife,
come estranded from his wife.
However, things may be brought out in the
divorce trial that will make it desirable to remove
the film star from the spotlight. It is time enough
to bar his films after we know he is guilty of
wrongdoing.
In the present case, why should we believe Mrs.
Chaplin in preference to her husband! Her word
is no better than bis.

There is nothing more dis
gusting to the average person
of human intelligence, than
to hear a man, young man or
boy. Who is supposed to know
at |east a portion of our lang
uage, burst forth in a tirade
of profaalty when some little
thing goes wrong. How use
less such an outburst, and how
ineffective. The only one who
is injured by such Is the one
who blows off.
