By the Way

THIS is the time of year when some of

us think only of the present.

Basket-ball players who staged a Sabbath Day game in the new Madison Square Garden, New York, were arrested and fined $10 each for violating the Sabbath law. Such fines have little effect when the gate receipts of the one game amounted to over $20,000. On the same Sunday "Red" Grange drew 70,000 people to a football game, with seats selling up to $3 each. Sunday hockey games with seating accommodations for 18,000 are now planned for the Madison Square Garden and, in view of the supposed sympathy of Mayor-elect Walker, the Broadway theaters are contemplating Sunday-night performances.

If Jesse James had had the advantages of a movie education, what a bandit he would have been!

Michael Arlen has pocketed $66,964.50 as the royalties on the first hundred nights of his dramatized. "Green Hat." However, brawn still tops the market, thanks to "Red" Grange's earning of an equal sum in four or five afternoons. . . . Several of the oldest and most reputable stores in New York are running large display advertisements in the daily papers featuring silver flasks that "will hold a pint of almost anything one's taste runs to" and cocktail sets with the caption, "A popular custom can be much enhanced with this handsome cocktail set." . . . An organist in Fargo, North Dakota, received from Stockholm, Sweden, a post-card announcing that her radio program in Fargo was enjoyed in Sweden. . . . America's popular songs have also been the rage in England. Britain, however, has somewhat reversed. the matter by sending over her song "Show Me the Way to Go Home," which now ranks as the best-seller in this country. "Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue?" holds second place.

This is the time of year when the meanest man in the world is the one who tells his children that Santa Claus has committed suicide.

December 28 will be the thirtieth anniversary of the first public showing of a moving picture. . . . In a recent film popularity contest in London American moving pictures were awarded the first four places. They were, respectively, "The Ten Commandments," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Abraham Lincoln," and "The Thief of Bagdad."

. . . The movie news reels have shown themselves superior to the newspapers by refusing to admit any pictures relating to the Kip Rhinelander trial. Will Hays is said to be responsible. . . . Mary Miles Minter, erstwhile player of "darling child" rôles in the films, recently telephoned from New York to Hollywood to learn of her grandmother's condition. Her mother, on the other end of the wire, refused to talk to her daughter, and the actress had to request the police to ing her sick granny. call for the desired information regard

The proper time to buy coal, according to the Columbia "Record," was ten years ago.

At a recent newspaper-club dinner the city editor of the New York "Herald Tribune" received a wire from the office night desk man. It read: "We have been able to find the weather reports for next week, also yesterday's, but what have you done with the one for to-day?"

Those who lean upon their dignity are in need of a better support.

We wonder how much "Red" Wallingford Grange (*non-grad) will contribute to the next University of Illinois drive for funds. His college fame now brings him money even for things he does not do. A cigarette firm has paid him $1,000 for his recommendation, and "Red" does not smoke.

An old joke from "Life" comes to mind in this Christmas season: Delia "Interesting lecture, wasn't it?"

Celia "Yes, indeed; I thought out two Christmas presents."

And another one about the young man who asked his brother, "Are you going to give any presents this Christmas?" and the brother's reply, "No; everything I got last year was useful."

This is another of those puzzles of which we are so very fond. It is an original one from a subscriber in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. What is needed to complete the poem are five words, each composed of the same five letters: Among the of Scotland green The can wander at their will, Till man appears with keen And his arms, intent to kill. sort of man is he Who kills for sport, it seems to me.

TH

poem of Rudolph Ruste came to us in a letter from a subscriber of The Outlook, a lecturer on rural education in South Dakota. In the letter he wrote:

The other day, in my ramblings, I ran into a small school away out on the prairies that was taught by the son of a pioneer Norwegian minister. The teacher is a product of this environment, and is remarkably well educated. He told me he wrote poetry, and I made him show me some of it. As a result of this inspection "The Last of the Virgin Sod" was promptly forwarded to The Outlook, and as promptly accepted.

Mitchell's Conviction

A

N undisciplined army is a contradiction in terms. It is not an army; it is a mob. And where there is no discipline there is no freedom. Mobs are notoriously tyrannical, arbitrary, cruel. The greatest foes of liberty to-day in America are those who would turn the home into a boarding-house without even the obligation of payment of board, the school into a play resort, and the army into a mob.

Maintenance of discipline is therefore a service to liberty.

The question that arises at the close of the Mitchell trial is not whether Colonel Mitchell should have been tried, or even whether his conviction was according to evidence. The great majority of thoughtful and informed people are convinced that the maintenance of elementary order in the Army required his trial and conviction. The question is whether his sentence serves the end of discipline.

On that point there is a great divergence of opinion. Technically less severe than dismissal would have been, suspension without pay for five years is really severer. His status is that of an unpaid private soldier subject to army discipline at all times. He has received the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Service Cross of the United States, the Croix de Guerre and the rank of Commander in the Legion of Honor from the French Republic, and decorations from the British and Italian Governments. The gallantry thus testified to might well be taken into account in mitigation of his punishment; but, on the other hand, the honors he has received place him under special obligation and aggravate his offense. Airplanes without number could not compensate the Nation for the disorganization of its Army.

If Colonel Mitchell's sentence is modified by those higher in authority than the court martial that tried him, it will be because the interest of true discipline (which is something different from mere harsh treatment or the imposition of authority) requires modification.

The bills introduced into Congress which affect to take out of the President's hands the right of appointment to the Army by reinstating Mitchell and

will stand, regardless of any or all follies that the House may commit later along. A record of service is already made, and cannot be wholly marred.

Ordinarily, the House of Representatives fritters away the time between the beginning of the session and the Christmas recess. But this Congress got squarely down to boot heels and bitulithic on the opening day, and has been genuinely and constructively busy ever since. The first result is the passage of the Tax-Reduction Bill in record time. It was finally passed by the House on December 18.

This result would not have been possible, of course, had not the Ways and Means Committee departed from the old
