The Boy and the Movies
A YOL'N'O mother is greatly worriod about licr young son,
nnd the movies. The young man in allowed to see one
movie a week and invariably pieks out s wild western thriller.
This the young mother thinks is undesirable and unnatural.
A western melodrama now and then might not be so bad, but
when there is "nothing else but" she envisions her young hope
ful developing into a gun-toting desperado, or a city gangster
in short order.
Tn an effort to guide the young man into the proper enter
tainment channels the mother recently decided to take him to
n Ici;s exciting and more helpful movie herself, and point out to
him the worth while qualities of the same.
This was done but the on was not impressed. The movie
wasn't so bad perhaps for grown-ups, but for him it was boro
some and stupid. As he explained it there wasn't enough
"trouble" in it.
TUTS only alarmed the mother all the more, so in a spirit of
exalted righteousness and fine maternal responsibility she
issued an edict banning wild westerns for a month, on the as
sumption that if the young man were taken off the too highly
seasoned movie fare, for an extended period of time, his taste
would return more nearly to what she regirded as normal, and
mora in harmony with his entirely respectable inheritance
To her surprise and dismay however, this prescription met
with no success whatever. Friend son, decided if he couldn't
see the movies he liked he wouldn't see any at all, but would
spend his Saturdays just playing around with the kids.
Which he did. "
And the first Saturday he
little Rollo put on a melodrama of his OWN, the big climax of
which came when one of his little playmateB was tied to a stake,
in the corral, a fire built around him, and the big rescue scene,
came off just half a second too late to prevent a good pair of
shoes being ruined and another mother in the immediate neigh
borhood being reduced to a condition of more or less permanent.
hysteria.
Whereupon the family problem became even more acute.
THIS burning at the stake of a neighbor's child of course
was: just another indication of the deleterious effect of the
blood and thunder movies, and the edict against them should
be made permanent. Hereafter no movies at all for little Rollo,
unless they were viewed first and could come under the heading
of refined and educational. The boy must at all hazards be
saved from a life of lawlessness and crime, which his tastes and
actions plainly indicated.
tirilEREUFON, of cotirse,
ery stupid mistake.
Not that wft hold any brief for the galluping, two-gun, shil
ling shocker "western". they are exasperated, crude and
rather silly but on tho other hand, they are harmless. They
don't make the normal American boy wild; the normal Ameri
can hoy by nature is wild the more normal and healthy he is,
the more certain he is to be, in early adolescence, a young bar
barian. If for 111 its perfectly natural impulse toward action, excite
ment, adventure, he can find no outlet in one direction, he will
find it in another.
Far better this should be found in a "western" at the
movies than, as in the case of Rollo in an amateur "burning at
the stake" scenario in the ranch corral, or as the writer recalls
trying to put on a realistic scalping scene by running amuck
with gramlpap's razor.
CO we advised (hit, particular young mother to forget about
the little theatre movement and the uplift as far as her
young son is concerned, and let him WITHIN' REASON, go to
the movies that APPEAIj to him. Iet her meanwhile read up
on child psychology and learn, that boys are boys. They must
fro through a more or less uncivilized stage, just as little girls
must go through the baby doll and pigtail stage. And there
might be far more injurious outlets for their energies and crav
ings, 1 linn in cheering the gun-toting hero, as he shoots down

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE'S a very, very significant
headline:
"President Orders Cancellation of
Over Billion Dollars Granted by Con
gress."
THE billion referred to la money
AUTHORIZED by congress, but
not spent yet which means sthat
this particular billion won't be added
to what we owe.
It la significant because It Is a
straw In the wind Indicating that the
end of the spending spree is ap
proaching. ANOTHER significant headline:
"Senator Borah Makea Formal
Declaration of Candidacy."
In other words, (Teddy Roosevelt's
words) Borah's hat Is In the ring.
A LOT of people don't like Borah
especially the former big shots
of the Republican party. (The Old
Ouard, the newspaper writers call
them).
But a lot of people DO like Borah,
and believe In him. A lot more who
are not so keen for Borah personally
will vote only for a man of hla type.
That means, probably, that If Borah
isn't nominated somebody will HAVE
to be nominated whom Borah will
approve.
That would be good for the Re
publican party, because it would
mean a change of leadership.
AN INTERESTING headline:
TJ. S. Population Now Over 127
Millions." !
This 137 million figure, of course,
la onlya guess, for we actually count
noses only once every ten years, and
the last count waa In 1930. We won't
do It again until 1940.
It is assumed by the statisticians
that If we've grown as fast since 1930
aa we grew In the corresponding pe
riod before that time, there are now
127 millions of us.
OUR Increase In population since
1930 la estimated by the statisti
cians at 4 per cent.
That la quite an increase, but It
Isn't ANYTHING LIKE the increase
In the years when the population of
the United States waa Increasing most
rapidly back In the decades Just be
fore 1900.
There has 'been a distinct slowing
down.
BACK In those years before 1900, we
asked first:
"How many of us are there?"
Now we're Inclined to ask:
"How are we going to FIND JOBS
for all of us?"
ALONG that line, here Is a thought
brought out by the campaign for
wooden boxes now being waged in
Southern Oregon:
For each ONE worker required for
the manufacture of fiber boxes,
SEVEN workers are required for the
manufacture of wooden boxes.
Consider that the next time you
get goods shipped into a lumber
country In a fiber box.

DONNA DIES FOR A DOG
The dog poisoner la not only a
mean and cowardly criminal, Judged
by any standard, but 1 always a po
tential murderer. Repeatedly thie
newspaper has urged the authorities
to more resolute action in putting
down thla common crime, while giv
ing warning that, unless the poison
ing of dogs was rebuked by appropri
ate punishment, the time must come
when a child would die In agony In

Now thla la what has taken place
In Roseburg. where a four-year-old
girl, wlusome and Innocent, la dead
by' meana of poison spread for dogs.
The furtive hateful moral monster
who prepared the poison cannot
rightly plead In the silence of his

he la taken, that thla murderous re

any person in whom there remained
a sense of moral reapon-Mbiuty. You
may well call It murder. It la noth
ing else.
On Its own merits the law against
dog poisoning, which provides drastic
penalties, should long ago have been
vigorously enforced. And because of
the self-evident hazard to children,
when poison 1 spread for dogs, of

have been stimulated. Yet this news

Public teiitlment ought to do some
thing about dog poisoning hereafter
It should demand, when dog poison
era btn their hateful operation,
that they be hunted down at any cost
or effort, n4 sent to the peniten
tiary before they poison other dogs
and another child. You say the death
of the little girl In Roseburg may
teach dog poleonere to mend their
ways? You are pleaded to be opti
mistic. For it won't. Not dog poison-
J era. In their meanneaa of heart, their
I moral obliquity, they will understand
1 onlv the lesson of harsh and unfor
giving punishment. Portland Ore

Press Comment
Donna Lou
Donna Lou Marsters. only 4, at
Roseburg, parsed over the great di
vide, the victim of a dog poisoner.
lllneaa of the child, who died In
convulsions, was at first shrouded In
mystery. But vital organs sent to
the University of Oregon for exami
nation revealed the presence of poi
son and established the fact that the
child fell by the hand of a dog pois
oner who haa been active In Roseburg
for several weeks.
How could an outrage be more
horrtblel How could human act be
morecondemnablet An Innocent child,
playing about her home, childlike,
contacts the death drug and Is swept
Into eternity 1
And what la the human wolf who
goes about slaying dogs In secret with
his poison but a fiend, a hater, an
animal In man's shape?
Than the dog, what friend la more
faithful to man, more obedient to his
wish, more devoted to his welfare!
OfWn the bereaved dog lies for weeks
on his master'a new-made grave and
refuses to leave the spot. The howls
of a dog recently led to the discovery
of a double murder. Many a faithful
dog has died that his master might
live.
There are tears . In Roseburg for
little Donna Lou. There are regrets,
state-wide, for the tiny victim and
her family.
And there la only contempt, disdain
and disgust for the poisoner who sac
rificed little Donna Lou, Oregon
