THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED
QNE HUNDRED and fifty-tiro years ago. the Decla-
ration of Independence enunciated the doctrine
that every dtlaen has A light to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and that governments institut-
ed to protect these rights can properly draw their
power only from the consent of the governed. “When-
beer any form of government becomes destructive of
theae ends, It Is the right of the people to alter or
abolish th’* It is further declared.
It Is because these statement* were written, and
then supported by the life-blood of the American
colonists, that we celebrate Independence Day today.
The doctrine of Individual light* to life and liberty
and the pursuit of happlneaa. and of governments
deriving their power from the consent of the govern-
ed. waa something new under the sun 153 yean ago.
The effort of the American colonist* to establish such
6 government and to protect such Tight* was a des-
perate experiment then, but today the principle Is
universally recognised and moat If not all of the gov-
ernment* of the world have been adapted to It.
, Yet, do we think of this when we come to the
fourth of July and enter into the celebration of the
holiday? .
* What waa true IAS yean ago Is true today. A cen-
tury and a half can not change the fundamental prin-
ciples of life, although It may greatly alter the condi-
tions under winch life Is lived. Governments stUl
have but one funettna la irfoni. the protection of
the inherent rights of its dtlaen*; and but one source
■of power, the consent of the governed.
If our. government is bad. it Is our fault. If any
Of our lights are violated. It Is because we permit It.
We are not . entitled to all the credit for whatever
liberties we enjoy, however, for they were secured
for us at heavy price by the early American citizens
who, a century and a half. ago. established the pres-
ent government and defined the right* which we now
poaeeaa, and who suffered hardship and privation and
even death Itself In their defense. Like All Other na-
tional holidays, independence Day Is a thanksgiving
day. challenging us not only to renewed vigilance In
the defense of our nation and renewed consecration
to Us institutions, but to gratitude for the privileges
we enjoy a* citizen* under a government which we
dkl not establish but-which we control, and In a soci-
ety we did not organize but which' we direct.

NOBODY WANTED IT
*\ KUDO'S Ministerial Alliance composed of the
^ pastors of the city, has been clamoring.for the cen-
sorship of movies and other shows, with the announc-
ed purpose of "securing provision for the adequate
protection of the public morals, sad for preventing
Sunday shows." The movement seems to have had
tta inception In a revival meeting, conducted by a
evangelist who flayed Sunday tho
has no a unday -hows and does
want any, according to the theatre managers.
1 .This reminds.us that Browmwood has a comp
censorship ordinance hido*m away in the criminal
• statutes of the city, but it has never been used. In
all essential respects. It is as good as new. and prob-
\ ably could be enforced If anybody wanted It enforced
Suae years ago there was a movement here for
• the censorship of shows, following the exhibiton of a
particularly shocking film of some kind and the City
Obuncll was induced to pass a censorship ordinance
After this was done, it was found that nobody was
Willing to serve as censor, and the ordinance was
toon forgotten. The law as U sppears In the Revise
Oriminal statutes provides that the Mayor shall ap-
point five censors, any ofte of whom may serve as
censor and all of them making up tho "Good
and Welfare Commission. Appeals from the
at a Aensor may be taken to the entire Commission.
Whose decision Is final. The law stipulates that before
• any film or similar entertainment is advertised for
or exhibited. It must be approved by the
the
remqve
objectionable scenes.
For obvious reasons, pobody in Brown wood wanted
to spend all his tlm» censoring moving pictures, and
after a futile attempt -to secure five men and women
willing to assume the duties of censorship, the gen-
tleman who was mayor at that time —Mr. J. R.
Looney. If we remember correctly — ceased his ef-
forts to make the appointments.
It is much easier to talk about censorship of pub-
• •-* amusements than to accomplish It.
! ""Vneed for censorship Is exaggerated
’ - ipformers. who pro lees to be shocked by scenes which
ff* age commonplace In the society of this day. The Abi-
brethren win probably secure the censorship reg-
they are asking. If (hey ask insistently enough,
hut not many of them would be willing to serve as
’censors, and not many of the Abilene shows will ever
feel the heavy hand of the censor falling upon a film

Cksw—stilp may be advisable iff some instance*, but
warn* to be a cendor?
1 Connoisseurs knew thkt;. in spite of the length and
heft of the! 10c melon, the 5c melon was In every way
superior to Jt. It had redder meat and a sweeter and
more delicate flavor. Moreover, it had black seeds.
The 10c melon was sure to have quite a few soft,
white seeds. It was really the forerunner of the de-
generate melon that we eat today. And the 5c melon
lent itself readily to the best method of eating. You
cut It in four quarters and then, cradling these by
the corners you plunged In head first. On the first
quarter and the second quarter you impatiently hook-
ed the see<fc out with a deft forefinger; but about half
way throujh the third quarter you abandoned this
practice and gave yourself over to the voluptuous de-
light of squirting, the seeks out through tightly pursed
Ups. It was here that the black seeds were so highly
desirable. B ack seeds are; fat. hard and well formed.
But white seeds are thin, soft and puny-looklng. Black
seeds squirt perfectly. But white seeds somehow never

be had out!of them at all. M
WeU. those days are gone forever. Now what do
w* find? We find watermelon* 1 even In the beat
store* cut up and sold by halves and even quarter*
In the old days the dealer who did that would have
been arrested. At that! time even "lugging'' water-
melons was a very risky thing to do. The trade would
have none, of a plugged melon. It tested melons by!
sounding them. If a melon gave forth a dull plop-
plop-plop then you snapped your finger against It. It
was greeh and you let It alone. But If It gave forth
a resonant plunk-plurlk-plunk. then you bought it.

confidently than did the anti-Hoover folks as they
arrived In Kansas City.
The vast majority of these Democrat* are enthush
astically convinced that they have a grand chance to
make Hoover eat worms In November. They’re the
optimists of politics. The glorious heights to which
some of them can dream themselves are well Indicated
by the mental state of a few Tammany men who in-
sist that Smith can carry Pennsylvania.
In a party which has been kept from the feed box
nearly es^ht yean one might expect to obeerve many
lean snd hungry persons, possessed of a certain sav-
age fervor as they plotted their way back. But ond*
finds nothing of the sort. They take their politics
seriously and they still get excited over moral Issues,
but the effect of adversity, if any, apparently has
merely brougnt them together in a closer bond of.
sympathy until they “re almost a happy family.
Some of them, of course, felt it was too bad the
Republicans weren’t made to have their convention
in Houston, there to suffer for their sins. Only the
fact that their own party has a dear conscience, they
admit, enables them to be comfortable and contented
In these torrid parts.
Occasionally one heard a muffled -curse upon J-
Frank Hjgue. the mayor and national committeeman
from Jersey City, N. J. When the committee met at
Washington last winter to choose a convention city
some of Rie more influential members met and deck-

with the brilliant Idea of nominating Smith some-
where in the South. By dawU he had sold tha Idea
and here we are. \
The weather had a direct effect on the prohibi-

The tricks employed In most cur-

ence interest through artificial
means are entirely absent In "My
Best Olrl." There is no "heavy”

so. and he Is more of a deus ex ma-

interweaving of the characters and
their hopes and aspirations produces
a tremendously effective suspense,

There’s nothing unusual about
picking Up a Story about some
screen actress and finding that a
good share of It pertains 00 her life
on the stage.
But when 11 girls of somr stage
repute are gathered together-^ s
single cast for a motion picture—
weU, that’s worth noticing, particu-
larly when ths girls are as pretty ak
they are m the cornroy series. "Con-
tes* ion* ot a Chorus OlrL” now tr
production at tho Christie studio
The usual procedure In Holly-
wood when making a picture of
bacXstagr life wouM be to cast It
With girls who had never been In-
side of a theatre except on paid ad-
missions. Christie Is going at it
differently. There must be a mis-
take somewhere. Not only the
principal* but every girl who ap-
pear* In thi* film of what goes on
bark.vuge has had at least one fea-
tured role on the stage

This series, of two-teelers will be
the first a tempt on the p^ of
comedy producers to tell a legiti-
mate story of backstage life In n
humorous vein. Similar plot* have
been burlesqued to death but that is

France* Lee is being starred in
series. Young brudett Mias Lap
who Just radiates personality, spent
three yean behind the footlights
before ‘ donning movie makeup
First she was In Ous Edwards' re-
vues. And then she spent nearly
two years In vaudeville as the danc-
ing partner of Billy oDoley. who alsc
has become a member of the film
ookmy. . . fT ,
OttMT Important roles In the
series have been a&signed to Lor-
raine Eddy and Natalie Joyce. Miss
Eddy played with the Duncan staters
In "Topsy and Eva." Miss Joyce's
experience as a legitimate actress in-
cludes two years with the Ziegfeki
Follies and a season In a Winter
Oarden show in New York.
Each comedy In the sertgk will
deal with a distinctive IncidentJn a
chorus girl’s life, with no attempt
being made to keep them in contin-
uity.
"I expect to .have more fan making
these pictures than I have ever had
before," Frances Lee told me. "We
will be mixing all the fun there lx
In stage and film work—and there's
plenty In both. It will seem pretty
good to get back In a wtage atmos-
phere again too.”
