oo DOES NOT TRUST HAYES- Senator Myers of Montana lacks j confidence in William Hays, who is managing the movies, having stepped down from the high position of post master general. The Benator demands a censorship by the government. Having made note of the fact thatj Mr. Hays, talking to the general Federation Fed-eration of Women's Clubs at Chautauqua, Chau-tauqua, N. Y.. promised to cleanse the movies at their source. Senator Myer? ' said: "1 am afraid the dollar mark will be the censor unless laws are enacted providing official censorship and it looks to me as though Mr. Hays was employed to prevent censorship." This is a direct charge that Mr Hays is not sincere, In fact is employed em-ployed for no other purpose than to keep off the hands of the censor Senator Myers is right in saying that if censorship Is needed the work should be undertaken by some one i other than a hired worker for the makers of the movies.
