L LEWIS ought not be permitted to leave Indiana until he settles that street car controversy 1 WILL PROPAGANDA win tills primary or will the citizens vote and Insist that their votes be counted? IS the owner of a silo that produces an Intoxicating liquor for his cows guilty of maintaining a still? OF COURSE, Mr. Taft will now repeat his famous remarks about a separate peace with Germany! "WHAT'S become of the "sinister Influences** concerning which we heard so much In the primaries of four years ago?* THE GAS COMPANY has quit Insisting that It could not possibly reduce the price of coke since It took ftie-seventh ofT the cost per ton. THE STREET CAR COMPANY will again have the privilege of selling tickets with that very appropriate picture of the monument on them. STRANGE, isn't It that those few persons who object to efforts to protect animals from cruelties are all so modest as to be unwilling to sign their names to protests! Why Clean It? The recent demand by Judge Moll that Superior Court room No. o be properly cleaned, comes as a surprise to the public and as a shock to a large number of commissioners, custodians, janitors, cleaners up, extra elevator men, bailiffs, constables, newspaper reporters and a few litigants. It is difficult to understand why Judge Moll should desire a clean courtroom, when nothing about the courthouse is clean or is wanted that way. Surely it is not to attract litigants, for the court has all it can do, with the present rush of business. It is not for the comfort of lawyers because it is demonstrated that if they are made comfortable they become slick and fat and neglect contentions and sharp wits become dull and contented. Possibly Judge Moll wishes to exercisf his authority, for there exists the power in the judge to go ahead and make the courtroom comfortable and decent if no one else will do it and to charge it to the county. It is not conceivable that so good a jurist as the judge is should suffer any considerable annoyance from dirt which an army of janitors can remove, eventually. The legal branch of the government is coordinate with the executive and the legislative and there are some things which are sacred to that /ranch of the government, besides life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. *one is the right to make court rules, another is the power to issue injunctions and mandates, while a third is the privilege to meet in just as dirty or clean a room as is desired. There was a time when smoking, putting the feet on the table aid using a moderate amount of intoxicants were enjoyed in court and the dirt was overlooked, but those days were in the earlier pioneer times, before lady lawyers were thought of and before a judge had to know the contents of 190 volumes of Supreme Court cases and eighty books of law by the Appellate Court

Photography and Baseball The use of photography in the baseball games certainly has made life worth living. How any team either at home or abroad ever got along without several photographers is now well questioned; indeed they simply failed to reach the zenith of utility or joy. The photograph catches a play which the eye cannot see, for after all, the human eye is comparatively slow of action and it is subject to many mechanical tricks which in times passed have taken advantage of it. Magicians have grown wealthy because of this. The great use of the camera at the opening of the baseball season serves to record the event and It should add dignity and decorum to the occasion. What can be more impressive than the Governor of the commonwealth standing on the place which the umpire will soon usurp and being photographed with a basket of flowers, the gift of a bevy of school girls, over his arm, and a ball in one hand? Or what can show greater democracy than the mayor of the city of Indianapolis snapped in a borrowed cap, with a for-sure glove on his left hand and a ball In the right one? What an Inspiration It will be to future Babe Ruths and Tv Cobbs to stand at the place where a former mayor once stood and threw a ball before a crowd of 11,000 fans. To be the photographers at the ball game is a worthy ambition and more to be coveted than the place of umpire or even outfielder, for generations yet unborn will sing praises for their works of art and perpetuation of great events and people. The Good Times The world is awakening to so many useful things in science and Industry that it is safe to say the dark brown taste on the day after would have been used in some good purpose if the constitutional amendment had not Interposed. It is now announced that a French electrical engineer has perfected a process of locating Icebergs at sea, thereby removing the greatest danger of the ocean today. He utilizes mirrors and ultra-red waves and when an iceberg crosses the field of the mirrors, the Instrument registers a diminution of the current and thereby announces the location of the ice, in fog, night or day. In other words, the passage of the ice registers itself on the instrument and thereby ships may avoid the danger. This is but one of the many nautical improvements which would cause old seamen wonder and consternation. The wireless telephone, the horseless farm and the sacrificing candidates for public office, each better than the other, all cause wonder daily. If the public can but wait long enough life will indeed be worth living. Now the meat packers utilize everything but the moo of the cattle and if the improvements continue at sea so one is never in danger nor out of communication and the world is safe for democracy and the good things all happen on land, it will be safe to recommend anew lease of life on one’s friends. One may as well renew the note at the bank again and treat all the wife's relatives decently,'for the good times surely are not far from the horizon of dreams to be realized tomorrow. Honesty in Roads \ In despair, for what else could prompt such a move, the Wabash County commissioners agreed to drop a suit asking for $13,000 damages, if a contracting firm would place six inches of gravel over the entire surfaCe of two roads which had hitherto been constructed of a patented material, but which went to pieces in a couple of years. In other words, a return to the old gravel is made, after experimenting with something which held up only a short time, is noted. The nostrums for making good roads are almost as many as they were for the cure of malaria years ago, when nothing but quinine and whisky would do the work, with plenty of the latter always advised. Anything that a good salesman could induce a gullible public to try ware used to absorb the public road fund and always with the same results. The State has been blessed with gravel and stone in great abundance and the art of road making has been perfected in countries more thickly populated years ago. But It is hard work, constant care and the use of some intelligence that are also required to keep up roads. Honesty is also an essential. If the materials furnished by nature are combined with the latter, fine roads can result The time has not arrived when a cheap substitute for good materials will do good work in anything, though many fortunes in Indiana have been wasted for taxpayers in trying to demonstrate something. Good sense and honesty would have foretold this, but often in highway construction it has been absent An Immense expenditure of money, without good sense or honesty will not construct a durable highway either.

MONTE BLUE HOLDS THE MIRROR UP TO NATURE Elaine Runs a Boarding House—Mary Is a Circus Clown—Wild Men on View

Monte Blue brings a touch of the bills, the mountains and even the heavens to the pavement dwellers of the cities who see “The Kentuckians.” Yesterday while I was looking over Monte Blue's claim as a star on the screen at the Ohio, it was evident that people are Monte Blue fans because he impersonates red-blooded characters on the screen. Ills BooDe Stallard, the mountain chap, who walked out of his lowly surroundings in a mountain district and became a member of the State Legislature of Kentucky, is a living characterization and one that will Unger in your memory. There is no suggestion of the hothouse or steam heat about Monte Blue. In this movie. Blue looks like a real mountaineer full of fight. He looks Uke a child of nature. Most of the scenes in the mountains look like they were filmed in the Kentucky mountains. It is in these scenes that the picture possesses most of its charm. If Blue continues to have good vehicle which allow him to have nature as a background, it will not be long until this Indianapolis movie actor will be one of the commanding figures on the screen. This movie Is made from the n®vel by John For, Jr., and concerns Boone Stallard ; a mountaineer, who becomes a legislator and fights to defeat the efforts of a blue grass aristocrat to pass a measure which would redistrict tlie mountain counties and break up the power of the mountaineers. There is lots of punch and action to th“se scenes in the lower house of the Legislature. Our hero falls in love with the daughter of tho Governor bnt in the end our hero gives her up when she decides to marry in her class. Boone returns to the mountains and succeeds in preventing one crowd of the mountaineers from freeing one of his own kinsmen who was sentenced to be hanged until dead. As long as the sentence stands, Boone insists that the execution be carried out. The tension is broken when the Governor grants clemency by changing the penalty from the death sentence to life imprisonment. Our hero remains in the mountains with his people and the Governor's daughter marries the aristocrat. Diana Allen Is the Governor's daughter and Wilfred Lytell is the aristocrat. There is one defect apparent in the directing and that is the tendency to chop off the action into short length scenes. It has a confusing tendency. When carefully considered, “The Kentuckians” proves that Monte, the Indianapolis movie actor, has the right to be seriously considered as a star. At the Ohio all week. W. D. H. -I- -I- -IIT WAS A NOVEL, NOW IT IS A MO VIE. It takes some time for the movie version of Kathleen Norris' novel, "Poor, Dear Margaret Kirby," to get underway on the screen. The first half of the movie is just the ordinary story of the eternal triangle but when yon are about to return a verdict of guilty, the movie takes a sudden turn and nearly puts it into the hit class. Margaret Kirby is a heroine who does not go wrong although she had numerous chances while her husband was trying to increase his fortune. Tho husband looses everything and of course the charming male friend ! always near The husband attempts to kill himself by drinking poison and he is even a failure at that. He live* but It takes months to get him on. his feet. Now this reads Uke any other story of the poor little wife. But at this point the story is given a sudden twist. While husband I* trying to get well, the wife turns her fashionable home into a boarding house for rich people who think they are In society but who are miles away from that social sphere. These scenes of the “poor" rich feather brains, who think they are in society, are gems of comedy a* well as satire. Os course the husband does not know that his wife is trying to make both ends meet by keeping a hoarding house and even do sewing at odd times It is bard to believe that a wife could put such a thirfg over on her husband but it is happening quite often this season in the movies In the end, the husbauu discovers what a Jewel his wife is Elaine Ilammerstein, she with the black hair and wonderful eyes, is the “poor dear” Margaret Kirby. The ability of this woman carries lot of conviction and reality when the story is trying to keep the audience from thinking. “Poor. Dear Margaret Kirby” remains at the Colonial all week—W. D.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life ——

CHAPTER exc. The chagrin I felt at seeing Tom Mason disappear In the wake of Valerie Cosby was bad enough, but having Jim see It happen was almost unendurable. The completely unendurable would be for Lane Cosby to leave me nlone in tne middle of the floor, partnerless. Now my lumbering, heavy host became vital to mo. If I couldn't hold him I'd have to endure double humiliation-In Jim’s eyes and In my own. What I did may have been pathetic or shameless or funny. 1 dldn t know then. I don’t know now. I put my hand on his sleeve and I eald to Lane Cosby: “I>o you one-atep as well as you wattz?” “We'll order a one-step for the next and you shall see,’’ he replied. All during the one-step I waited for Tom to reappear through the outer entrance of the grotto—and- find me dancing, not seeming to notice his defection. He didn’t come. The fox trot sounded and Sheldon pranced away with me. it would be just my luck for Tom to come out and find me partnorless. One enQore —two. 1 noticed Jim prowling around the room as if in search of someone. The tnuslc stopped. Jim came up and took possession of me. “Attentive husband,” smiled Sheldon. “I’ve this one with Valerie, the little imp” said Jim as soon as we were alone. “Come with me while I pry her loose from whoever’* playing the devoted.” He didn't ask whether or no I had the dance, but turning he suddenly remarked off-band: "You're getting too pale and thin for lavender, Anne. Funny—you used to look great in it. Guess you’d better start wearing reds and pinks to cheer you up a bit. Say, doesn't Valerie look wonderful in that robe?” “That's what her husband said,” I replied too w.-arlly to be as catty as I sounded. ‘‘So you call her Valerie?” “Sure. Cosby told me to. He's some proud of his little Val. Can’t say 1 blame him. She's one nifty little kid.” By now wa had made the rounds of the ballroom, and the conservatory, but there were no signs of our hostess. “Want to try this waltz?” asked Jim indifferently—so indifferently that he chiiled the joy It always is for me to dance with him. “If you like,” I murmured. Just as ve swung into position, a hand was laid on Jim’s arm. And Tom Mason stepped between us. ‘‘No dancing with your own wife, boy I” h* said. “Another man's wife Is wait-

NORMA AND COURTNEY ARE SPANIARDS NOW

Norma Talmadge and Courtenay Foot in a scene from the dramatic and atmospheric movie, “The Passion Flower.”

In the filming of the screen version of Nance O’N'oil's latest stage vehicle, “The Passion Flower,” the roles of the daughter, the step-father and the mother stand out as prominently as they did on the stage. The players enacting the three main leads of this tragic and dramatic affair on the s< rcon are given opportunities to make splendid individual triumphs. The movie version is a three sided triumph and. the honors fall to Norma Talmadge ns Acacia, the daughter; Courtenay Foote as Esteban, the step father who prefers his step-

"Th e Little Clown." If this cute little trick of the screen does not pep up your spirits, then I am no judge of spring tonics. In the first place the story 1* centered around a little feminine clown and the clown, of course, is acted by Mary Mites Minter. It Is a story of circus life. Os course there is a hero ttnd his name is Dick P. -vt-rly, a rich fellow who is disguised as a “tramp” and get* a Job as a bareback rider. Then Cupid gets busy and Put, the little clown, falls in love. The society parents of Dick receive tho couple In their home, but the little clown longs for the white top again and off she goes to the saw dust ring. Dick, of course, follows her. The picture end* with the suggestion that the little church is Just around the corner. A trick monkey obtains many laughs and the horses are well handled. This picture breathes of spring, summer and the circus. Nearly forgot to tel! you that Jack Mulhall plays the role of Dick Beverly, the high-class circus tramp. Opinion: “The Little Clown" is an optimistic adventure in love under a circus tent.* Clean, bright and clever screen entertainment. At the Alhambra the first half of the week. —W. D.

In one movie savages of Africa appear under the title of "Wild Men of Africa," and Ln mother movie Alice Joyce has the role of a modern “wild woman,” ln “Her Lord and Master.” The Isis Is now exhibiting the first of a series of educational movies under the head of “Wild Men of Africa.” The first episode ar.d the one now on view is called "The Jurig'.e Dancers'" The first episode leaves no doubt but that the modern Jazz dances started ln darkest Africa. These pictures have an educational and even a patriotic value, because the spectator comes to appreciate the advantages of civilization, yuch picture* as may In time takes the place of textbooks in the geography classes of the common schools. These pictures are not “dry." but entertaining. Your reviewer cannot he enthusiastic over the work of Alice Joyce ln “Iler Lord and Master." It isn't Alice's fault as much ns the stnpid story ln which she is called upon to play the leading role. The story concerns an American girl who marries an Englishman and the Englishman use* some strange methods to “lame" his wife Some of the scenes are very artificial and even the ability of Alice Joyce cannot save this movie. The best acting done in the picture is contributed by the actresses who plays the role of the grand English lady. At the Isis all week.

He didn’t even stop to say, “Take care of Anno." ‘‘Shall we dnnee?” asked Tom In a tone so different from the one In which Jim had Invited mo to swing along to the strains of the music that I left at once soothed and calmed. "Please,” I replied. Not a word was said until this music stopped. Then caught my arm through his and led me off to one of the tiny green crystal hung boxes that made the balcony of the ballroom seem like tho Inside of a breaking wave. I found a bench of drift wood and moss, and Tom stood before me looking down reproachfully. “How could you, Anne? How could you?” he asked. “It sounds like the chorus of a song,” I replied flippautly, to hide my own amazing and unwelcome hurt. “Why did you give away the bine robe?” Before I could And some answer that I flared venturo to make, he went on. “When I came in and saw- it, I thought you were wenring it. That you had relented, had accepted at last the —feeling you always seem determined to avoid. So I followed the robe —and found another woman wearing it.” "And continued to follow her.” It slipped out before I could call on sober, second thoughts to save me. Tom’s face changed—l knew he had not missed the intimation of Jealousy—but he went on without paying any attention to it. “I had called out ‘Donna Anna’ to her She seemed to guess whom 1 meant and taunted me about the woman whose gown I knew, though never worn It. I had to set her right—to save you from her inunendos. That is why I remained so long with her. Who’d want a sunflower when there are fragrant lilacs In the garden? But why did you treat my gift so lightly littlo Idlac Lady? I got to my feet and hold up my hands. “You musn’t! You musn’t!” I cried. “You tried to be a friend tonight. It’s Just because you aren’t—always a friend that I had to give her the robe. There’s Jim—l couldn’t wear it—ever, because of Jim.” “Jim!” Tom Mason laughed, and the liking that was beginning to come crumbled away. “Jim!” Well, he seems to admire my little robe. It might have been a good idea—try It* charms yourself.”—Copyright, 1021. (To be continued.)

LOVE TRIUMPHS IN “HEART OF A FOOL." The story of “The Heart of a Fool” might be taken as an illustration of the old saying that the path of love is not a bed of roses, or something like that. The story centers about two women and Jealousy causes one of the women to lose out with the man she loves. Another woman steps ln and temporarily supplants the original object of the man's love. This love affair does "not last long and there nre numerous complications in the lives of the two' women.

"I am very glad you came Mrs. Campbell.” replied Mrs. Hooper pushing the comfortable big chair into place for her neighbor, “because I've been trying to think up a schedule that might help you. 1 believe it is Just as necessary to budget your time as it is to budget your income if you really want to get anywhere with housekeeping.” “But the worst of it is,” said Mrs. Campbell,’’ I just hate to be tied down to having to do things at exactly the same time every day If that is what you mean.’ “It is exactly what 1 do mean,” was Mrs. Hooper’s firm no ply, “You are really much more tied down ss you call it when you do things at any time, and the house is always in confusion that way.” “Oh I know it,” sighed Mrs. Campbell, “My husband says the place always looks as though a cyclone had struck it, and still I'm pegging away all hours of the day and night.” "Well let use see if wo can get a working schedule down on paper, added Mrs. Hooper, opening a small note book that she had in her lap, “There are five of you aren’t there?” “Yes,” nodded Mrs. Campbell, “Jimmie is twelve, Rose is throe and the baby one-year-old.” “You will have to get up at 6 o’clock in the first place,” continued Mrs. Hooper. “Oh, goodness.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

As soon as the castle grew quiet Puss tiptoed over to the door of his room and fitted the key. which the raven had brought him In tbe last story, you remember, in the lock and then very carefully opened the door and crept down the stairs. But, or dear me, there in the great hall slept a number of robbers. Some were lying on the couches and others on the door, so that. Puss had to jump over two of them, but before he did tbaP he took off his boots aud held them In hi* paw. And wasn't it lucky, the great front door was ajar, so that he could Just squeeze through, and ns soon as he was outside the raven led out a big black horse from behind a tree. “Jump into tho saddle. Utile Sir Cat And ride away fast as you can. For the robbers might wake and then they would take And kill little pussy cat man!” So Puss Junior jumped into the saddle and away went the black horse as swiftly as the wind, and before long they were away, far away from the wicked robber* castle. And then the raven, who had flown along with Puss, said goodby, and Puss went on alone on the big black hi>r% until he came to a place i where a h'g giant was chopping wood. “Ha. ha!” asid tbe giant, “here is a fine horse. I roust catch it and give it to the king of this, country." RtU the giant couldn’t see Puss, for he pfiii on his Invisible coat, you know. "Come, come, Mr. Giant," said Puss Junior. “If yon will promise not to harm mo I will show myself.” “I promise," said the giant. “I promise not to harm you, I promise to be good. And if you show yourself to me I'll keep on chopping wood.” And he picked up his ax and made the chips fly, and then Puss pulled off his magic coat and said, “Here I ara, son of the famous Puss in Boots.” And when the giant saw him he put out his hand and said. “Glad to meet yon, little Sir Cat. Have no fear of me!” And in the next story you shall hear what, happened after that.—Copyright, 192 L (To Be Continued.)
