The New Bishop. /The services attendant upon the in- stallation of Rt. Rev.' Joseph H. Con- roy as Bishop of Ogdensburg, .at St. Mary's cathedral yesterday, were deep- ly impressive and were attended by the ; most distinguished members of the clergy that ever gathered in this city. The service meant much to Rojnan Catholics, particularly for by order of the'Holy See, the bishop was placed in charge o£ all Catholic churches in this diocese. Catholics alone do not hold the •honor, however, all faiths in Og- densburg rejoice that Bishop Conroy has been so honored and Ogdensburg as well; The new bishop is well fitted for the exacting duties which he will be called upon to perform. His career in the service of God has equipped him well to lead. His service has been recognized by Pope Benedict, after consultation with his official advisers and 1 --whose judgment is passed only after the fullest consideration. Bishop Conroy has a noble duty to perform and the prayers of all will be offered thaj. his Work will be crowned with success. Penrose and Postal. Before he succeeded Senator Aid- rich as chairman of the Committee on Finance,'.Senator Penrose was at the head of the Post Office Committee of \the Senate. The efficiency of' the postal service today owes much to the attention arid study given it by Chairman Penrose.

This is particularly true' of those who will make out returns for in- comes of $5,000 of less. These in- come taxpayers constitute about 80 per cent of the total and it is in the form which they will use that, the greatest improvements, have been made. Heretofore scarcely any citi- zen could make out a report without expert assistance. This year only those with a rather complicated source of income will, have diffculty. January 19th.

MOVIE CENSORS SUBMIT REPORT TO GOY. MILLER THE NEW NURSE. TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES The Big Event. In summing up what was done for the • good of mankind during 1921, one must place President Harding\s call for the armaments' conference at the head of the list. Not only will its benefits be immediately felt in the scrapping of battleships, reduced naval appropriations, and consequent reductions in tax burdens, but the years to follow will enjoy similar relief. The trustees of the Nobell peace prize should have no difficulty in selecting the recipient for 1921. England's Africian Asset. The greatest undeveloped portion of the globe today is Africa—great in soil, minerals, water power and varied climate. As a result of the war, Great Britain came into control of a sufficient area of'Afriea to give her practically absolute control off the future industrial and commer- cial development of that' vast con- tinent. While there are some por^ tions of the continent n,ot under Brit- ish control, these portions are so small and disconnected, as to be January 19th. 1807^-Gen. Robert E.

This is not the first honor of the kind that has conie to Dr. Keen, who has long been .recognized as one of .-the, great lead- ers Of the surgical profession. Similar ' honors have been bestowed upon him in the past by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Royal Col- , lege of Surgeons of Edinburgh, the Italian Surgical Society, and by the societies of surgeons in France, Bel- gium^ and Germany. Dr. Keen was • borri and educated in Philadelphia.

Suggest Five Amendments—• Producers Desire to Co-op- erate with Commission ALBANY, Jan. 18.—Covering ten typewritten pages, and carrying -with it five recommendations in the way | of amendments to the present law, the New York State Motion Picture Commission, of which George H. Cobb, of Watertown, is chairman,, has submitted its annual report to Gov- ernor Nathan L. Miller. The report was made public late Monday after- noon, when copies were, handed out at the ^roam which the commission occupies in the State Capitol. While a good part of the report is given over to outlining the work in detail, which the commission has done, there are some interesting features showing the number of films which have been passed by Mr.. Cobb and his -associates since August 1. In the way of recommendations, tlie report suggests that the serial number given a picture be combined and become a part of the license or permite leader; that the Commission be given the -power to refuse a li- cense or permit for films containing unpatriotic matter; that the law be amended to clearly define educa- tional, scientific, religious and charit- able films' and that it 'be made clear as to what are exempt from paying the license fe.8(; that the commls 1 sion be given the right to charge pro- ducers of films exempt from fee a sum sufficient to reimburse the state for the permit, or license leader, and fifth, that the la-w be amended so that the commission can retain the free paid for the original of a film con- demned in entirety in order that the state may be reimbursed for the ex- pense incurred in reviewing it. ! Receipts Are $158,066. ! In the way of expenditures, Mr. j Cobb's commission has spent from ' August 1 to December 31, the sum of $36,687.80, of -which $16,535.26 went for personal service. During the same period of time, the commis- sion has taken in $158,085.97. During that time, a total of 3,630 \ reels have been examined. In the j way of permits granted without ex- jaminations, there has been a total hot 6,194. The commission has is- | sued licenses of 1,300 pictures, while 1,170 films have been approved with- out eliminations, leaving 160 films re- quiring! eliminations of some sort<. The total number of eliminations made amounts to'745. There have 1 'been 477 scenes eli- minated and 268 titles have been Cound to be of a. sort which the com- mission deemed as inadvisable. For indecent scenes, there were 85 i eliminations, while those of an inhu- i man sort resulted in the shears din- j ping out 35, while 54 eliminations came about as being of the type ' which incited to crime, while 61 were j immoral and 5 were sacriligious. I Dramas suffered more .than any of ! the others,. there' being 81 elimina- tions from such as' compared to 43 in comedies, 20 in comedy-dramas, scv- the National Guard, and the reserve force, so that they can be handled as one unit and rapidly increased in numbers should an emergency arise. Secretary Weeks is making plans Britain.

First of the Calendar. The foreign debt refunding bill will be the first important piece of legislation to commjand the atten-i tion of the Senate. It has already passed the House, and as soon as it is enacted by the other body will receive the signature of the Presi- dent and become law. It is not ex- pected that it will be changed mat- erially from the form in which it was recommended by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Democratic . op- position will seek to restrict the dis- cretion sought to be placed in the hands of Secretary Mellon, but Re- publicans are convinced that expedi- tious handling of the debt problem can be. done only by an agency clothed with large powers. Both President Harding and Mr. Mellon have. declared their determination to get the mpst favorable terms from flie foreign debtors, and there is no doubt that the payments forthcoming under the arrangements they will | be \ as large and as regular as con- ditions will permit. Car Purchases. Through the columns of a Demo- cratic newspaper we learn that tine C. B. & O. railroad has ordered the j purchase of 500 stock oars, 1300 re- j frigerator cars, 2500 box cars and 3000 coal cars; the Illinois Central .has purchased 1000 new Refrigerator cars, and the C. M. & St. P. has an order entered for 2500 coal cars. This is not such a bad report coming through columns that used to con- vey the idea that the raih-oads would, be ruined if not kept under govern- ment operation. Tubes Back. Pneumatic mail tube service in | New York city is aibout to be resum- j'ed after an interruption of several I years. It will be remembered that I Mr. iurleson took the remarkable •view; that it was cheaper and more 'efficient to transport first class mail in Pfew York's crowded streets by truck than it was to shoot in. through I mail tubes beneath, the' surface. t-Efo went so far in his campaign the tubes as to prevail upon | former President Wilson to /veto a Their Emimy and Our Gene. , Emma Goldman says that her ome desire is to get back to the United States. But Mr. Debs: will tell her it is a country not worth coming to. He wants to go to Russia. Bucolic Psychology. \I have never been able to under- stand bucolic ysychology,,\ says a New York banker. \R'oger Babson quotes Henry Ford as saying that lie paid Uncle Sam last year $76,000,000. As Uncle Sam doesn't take all the income of even the richest man, it is fair to assume that the taxable income of Ford and his motor plaint was in excess of $100,000,000. A large part,of this was taken from tJie agricultural interests, yet they are devoted to him. \The Class 1 railroads will have a net operating income for 1921 slight- ly in excess of $600,000,000, of wlvllch creditors will receive about $50\0 000 and to owners will accrue a little more than $100,000,000. \In short, all the Class 1 railroads in the tTnited States will have in 1921,. about the.-same taxable Income as Ford had in the year to which he ^Hf^# ' January 19th.

The report says: \Comparatively few of ' the films presented violate the standards fixed j by the statute, Five features have I been condemned i.n their entirety. We j have found that the main violations j during the first two or three months arose from an ignorance of the law and the requirements of the commis- i sion. There has been a desire on the j part of the producers as a class and I particularly tJie exhibitors, to cooper- i ate with the commission in its work.\ Improvement Noted. Continuing, the report says: \Since the organization of the ! commission, there has been a mate- ' rial improvement in the ^films pre- sented for examination and license. The leaders in the industry are com- ing to recognize that merit in pic- tures brings its reward the same as in other fields of endeavor. While it will be some period of time before all of the unclean, or questionable films can be removed from the screen, ow- ing to the fact that many thousands of films were on the screen prior to Au- gust 1, yet the commission lias under- taken to recall films for review which are objectionable, in an attempt to purge the objectionable features or condemn such as violate the statute. | • \There has been a decided impetus I in the production of films which are I purely educational. The producers of such are to be encouraged in every possible way. It is tlie aim of the commission to insist that all pic- tures exhibited shall be* of such a character that any parent with a nor- mal child will be justified in allow- ing it to attend theatres without first investigating the character of the act- ors and the feature to be present- ed. Work Is Delicate. \The work of the commission is a delicate and difficult one for the rea- i son that p.eople of good character often have different standards by which their lives are regulated, so that oftentimes the question of wheth- er a picture violates a\ statute is a matter of honest dispute among our best citizens. .
