Jim Collins now has more time in which to release law violators! MR. ORBISON’S DESIRE for a grand jury investigation of his booze business was all that was necessary to make it unanimous! TT DOES NOT make much difference who eventually gets the support of the city administration for mayor. He is sure to be of the same old type. IF THE LEGISLATURE has any more time for junkets it might go down to that new colony for the feeble-minded and investigate the manner in which the land was sold to the State. FOR A LONG TIME Indiana has obtained its whisky from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. Now it is to obtain electricity from lowa, and eventually it may cease getting its laws from the District of Columbia. IT TOOK THE BAR association approximately twenty years to find evidence that a man was illegally practicing law in Marion County. In the course of another twenty years it may discover that practicing before the grand jury is at least reprehensible! Gloomy Outlook The election of Irving Lemaux to the chairmanship of the Republican city committee by the city administration, practically without opposition, makes all talk of “anti-administration” success in the Republican ranks mere silly prattle. The administration has complete control of the party machinery and is in a position to nominate and elect whom it pleases to succeed Mayor Jewett. The coliapse of the “anti-administration” faction of the party is due entirely to starvation for which those Republican voters of Indianapolis who do not like the administration are responsible. There are enough of them to defeat the administration if they possessed the courage of their convictions, but unfortunately they do not. and hence are no match for an opposition that is sustained by the taxpayers themselves through the city pay roll and the lucrative contracts let to political favorites. The establishment of the city administration as the controlling force in the Republican ranks began shortly after the primaries last spring, when a threatened contest of a crooked primary was halted by the promise to a local company of a lucrative contract and the employment of the defeated candidate by that company. Without control of the city council the administration had difficulty in complying with its promises, but through manipulation of the bids and the appointment of a “special agent," the contract was eventually let at a price $16,000 higher than the origit*' l bid. Then followed the deflection of O. B. Pttijohn from the “anti group” in the council and the election of Russell Willson as the president of the council. Pettijohns deflection followed the appointment of a son to a connty Job, and again the administration was able to use its control over the taxpayers’ money in helping itself to complete control of the party. So thoroughly entrenched was the administration when the date approached for the election of a city chairman that it first tendered the place to Emsiey Johnson, then revoked the tender, offered it to Lemaux and eventually elected him without opposition. Thus, it not only obtains control over the party machinery, but also over the primary election officials, and it has been demonstrated time and time again in Indianapolis that the control of the election officials is all that is essential to the nomination of a favored candidate, regardless of the number of votes that may be cast against him. Consequently, there is nothing in the world in the way of th” nomination of any one the city hall crowd may dictate for mayor. The only possibility of failure to bontinue the Jewett administration for four years more under the leadership of a Jewett hireling, lies in the unlikely selection of a tool that the people of Indianapolis would reject in favor of a Democratic candidate. As the Democratic party in the city is thoroughly permeated with agents of the same crowd of bi-partisan politicians who control the Republican city organization, it is hardly possible that the Democrats could, if they would, nominate a man with sufficient strength to attract enough votes from the Republican party to elect him Tile only hope for the succession to the mayor's office of a man who is not tarred with the same stick that was used in branding the present •'good government and chan politics” outfit lies in the possible, but not probable, selection by the city hall crowd of a candidate who is not owned, body and soul, by the bi partisan dire* tors of the same old gang. George Lemaux is not administration owned. The city hall crowd decided he would not do and Lemaux announced that he was not a candidate. It is probably expecting too much of the people of Indianajtolis to believe that they will pay sufficient attention to the coming primaries to nominate men on either ticket whose qualifications for the mayoralty are other than ability to corral the 20,000 negro votes that now control the political situation.

Or hi son Four flushes Charles J. Orbison, prohibition director, is not strengthening: his standing with the citizens of Indianapolis by giving false statements to the press and to Government officials in regard to the scheme by which he sought to evade the prohibition laws in the distribution of confiscated whisky to favored individuals. The records speak for themselves and they disclose that Mr. Orbison either does not have a lucid memory- of his acts or is deliberately trying to deceive both the public and the officials. In a letter to Frederick Van Nuys, district attorney, Orbison says: “These papers were orders written by me on the chief of police for small quantities of confiscated liquor where there were representations that such liquor was to be used for medical purposes." Yet, in the possession of the police is an order for three quarts of whisky “to be used in the work of this office," and eleven orders which specify that the liquor is to be used for other than medicinal purposes. Mr. Orbison informs the News and the Star that he has written a letter to the Federal prohibition commissioner in which he “explains" his action by stating that “approximately 150 orders for whisky w-ere sent to the chief of police in emergency cases where physicians had said that whisky was needed.” Asa matter of fact, 225 orders were sent to the chief of police, and in eighty-five of these orders no physician is even mentioned. Mr. Orbison says: “In my opinion the spirit of the law was not violated and It was purely an act of humanity in ordering the whisky dispensed as it was." It is, of course, an insult to the intelligence of the people of Indiana to tell them that the giving of a pint of whisky to Dr. W. H. Bobbitt, to be used for instruments," was an “act of humanity.” Nor can the issuance by Oribson to himself of three quarts of whisky “to be used in this office" be construed as an “act of humanity." Likewise, it is difficult to find any humanitarian motive in the issuance of whisky to R- H. Abel and Charles J. Hoover, prohibition Inspectors, on the statement that the whisky “is used in investigation work." Mr. Orbison expresses his willingness to resign if his continuance in office would “impair the department" or “cripple prohibition enforcement.” It takes considerable to pry some officials out of sinecures such as Mr. Orbison has been occupying, especially when one of the perquisites of the" office is a supply of five-year-old bonded whisky for use in the office or distribution to friends, but it would seem that even such a pious gentleman as Mr. Orbison would know by this time that his complete separation from the whisky at the police station is essential to the enforcement of prohibition la Indiana.

‘KISMET’ IS A GLORIOUS MOVIE SPECTACLE Real Human lleings Appear in De Mille Movie — New Star at Alhambra

“Kismet” is a triumph for Mr. Otis Skinner and a compliment to the Robertson i ole people who had llie courage to sink several fortunes in an attempt to j give to tlie movie world one of the really | beautiful pictures of the iast five years.

He never turned a whisker, but pulled out his sword and waved it in the air. "Don't you come a mile farther,” iie shouted, for every time the giant took a step it was a mile, more or less, you know. And this made tbo giant laugh so loud that ho almost blowout the sun like a candle. And then he reached over and tried to pull Fuss off the donkey.

of “Kismet,” which la now on view at the Circle.

added greatly to hla fame as a stage star. Not to be missed by those who enjoy beauty aiul splendid acting on the silver screeu. At the Circle all week W It. 11. ANOTHER TRI I'M I'll IN REALISTIC ACTING. I attempted to get into the Ohio yesterday about 4 o'clock, but the crowds were too large even to permit me to squeeze through. I retired as gracefully as possible to return several hours lifter ward. Wla i X re arrived, two married couples were attempting to explain a certain event which had about broken up ino homes. That Is the main theme of “Midsummer Madness." which Is the latest contribution of William De Mike to the silver screen. It la an adaption of Cosmo Ham llton’s story, "His Friend and His Wife." The story concerns the efforts of one little wife to make her husband realize how really pretty and lovely she is and the efforts of the other wife in the story, who decides to determine if her husband bas really been unfaithful to her. Lois Wilson Is seen ss Margaret Mere ( filth snd Jack Holt as Bob Meredith. Ulii Lee is the pretty Daisy Osborn and Conrad Nagel as Julian Osborn, whose ability to make love to others causes bis wife much concern. Nagel's love scene, in which he attempts to make happy the unhappy wife of bis friend. Bob Meredith, Is a gem of comedy and good acting. De Mille hns given us in this movie some renl human beings anil at no time does the spectator get the Impression Lhut it Is Just acting. The situations ar.. leal and those engaged lu making the scenes real are human beings, so li us you and I. Opinion: “Midsummer Madness" Is a flue example of naturalness ~f acting and one which other producers and directors would do well to study carefully. It Is a treat In polite comedy. At tho Ohio all week. W. D. H. -I- - - THE WOMEN WILL LIKE 'THE KIRN ACE,’ BIT THE MEN— Tho Colonial 1 presenting " The Fur nnre." a movie which will bring Joy To the women patrons of this house because of the beautiful gowns and the insight It gives into London high society. The | gowns worn by Agnes Ayres. In the role of an actress who marries a wealthy man whom she does not love, caused the women in the audience to gasp with delight yesterday. But the whole movie appears to miss fire with tha men. It seems that lots of money has been put Into gowns and elaborate sots, but the movie hns not been put together in a compact form, which is needed to give the story a punch and as it now stands It is a hngh fashion parade. There is ■ so much beauty of dress and over-scenic equipment which permits the theme of the story to he lost. There are numerous lawn fele scenes. , done lu all the splendor of the Follies, and numerous other little “at home" fiffuir,, which the rich so often stage for their own amusement. The movie gives the Impression that the life of the over rich in London is Just one party i and one headache aftf-r another. Os I course the actress wife of the rich men discovers in the iast few feet of film that her husband is her own Romeo. The acting honors go to our old friend Theodore Roberts, as the choleric old general. A fine piece of work. This picture gives those appearing in It a chance to wear some 'wonderful gowns. Opinion: If you are fond of seeing beautiful women dressed up like pea cocks, this is the movie for you, as tt I is one of the best dressed movies I ] have seen for a long time, but the story ! becomes lost so often. At the Colonial all this week. W. D. H. j

A NEW ACTOR IS PRESENTED AT ALHAMBRA. David Butler, a nexv star, is being presented at the Alhambra the first half of this week in a movie called ■ "Fickle Women,” which is made from Sophie Kerr's story, “Sitting On the World.” Mr. Butler has the assisting services of •Tulanne Johnstone, Harry Todd, Lillian Hall. Fred Bond and others. The action of the movie takes place I?t a small town where the citizens as usual unconsciously sit as a jury on the actions of every one else. Calvin Price before going to war is madly in love and when he returns, he discovers that his sweetheart hns not lived up to her agreement to “wait until the end of the world” if necessary to become his wife, but has returned the love of another. Price also learns that there Is some “scandal" floating about the small town regarding him and he decides to give the natives of the place some of their own inedlicne. The story has a happy ending for Price, although he finds his true love in the person of another girl who always h.is loved this Yankee hero. It is rather an unusual story. The bill includes "Fatty” Arbuckie in a farce coraedv, "A Rough House." -I- -I- -|- C ROOK MOVIE REMAINS AT THE ISIS THIS WEEK. The word is getting around the town that ‘‘Heliotrope," which was at the Isis all last week, and Is now on view al! this week, is a “whale of a good story.” In this movie "Heliotrope Harry," a crook, who loves sweet perfume and fine clothes, is the central figure and it does one good to see this “crook” fight to give his daughter real happiness.
