Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices j y or j ti Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. CHICAGO is having a police shake-up between crimes. IRELAND has returned to normalcy. Women and children are being Ihot down in the streets. NATION SOUND, Says Harding at Job Parley—headline. Everybody knows that, but what about the Administration? WHILE the leaders of the miners are fighting in Indianapolis they are not doing it where their activities will prevent the production of coal. IT SEEMS incredible that one burglar could visit twenty homes in one part of the city on the same night, but confession is said to be good for the soul! That Collins Talk It is not difficult tc understand why there should be a disposition on the part of a group of Indianapolis citizens to foster a third candidate for mayor, but it is exceedingly difficult to understand why this group should regard James A. Collms as a desirable candidate. For, even If it were possible to introduce a third candidate in the race at this time, which is doubtful, Collins would be about the weakest man who could be selected for the race. This man Collins attained some popularity and a public office as a result of the exploitation of “Collins. Rucker & Coffin ’ as the “Good Government and Clean Politics” trio for whom “all the good people 1 * of the city were alleged' to be arrayed in fighting mood. Coffin later retired from office 'to avoid the expose of Foppiano's check. Rucker decided to retire from public life after having been roundly denounced by Judge Anderson in Federal Court. Collins, alone, remains in public life, a relic of the discredited “good government' 1 forces. In considering his qualifications as a candidate for any office, it is necessary to' remember that he attained the peak of bis popularity in Indianapolis before his antecedents and his pre-Tndlanapolis record were known here. He can hardly expect, in any future campaign, to avoid the story of hi3 life at Mattewan and Lyons, in New York, which story Includes the mutilated records of the old Banquet Hook and Ladder Company, at the latter place. Nor could Collins avoid the disclosures of the record of the Criminal Court, once changed cn the order of Judge Anderson, and still standing as a prolonged role of cases “undocketed,” neglected and reversed. The very fact that Collins is talked of to head a so-called Independent ticket doubly discounts the possibilities of an effort to place a third candidate in the mayoralty race. The Jewett adherents, sure of their ability to nominate whom they pleased for mayor, procured the passage of a State law which now stands in the way of an independent candidate. They alone are responsible for the present political situation and while it is possible that this law might be found unconstitutional, it is also certain that a third candidate in the field would only tend to divide the opposition to Mr. Shank, who is not popular with the third candidate advocates. The truth of the matter is that talk of a third candidate for mayor was conceived as a lever with which George Coffin and a few of his friends hoped to force their way into the councils of the Shank campaign. They have already assured Shank supporters that on certain conditions they would “drop Collins” and are now anxiously awaiting word from Shank as to whether their bluff has been effective. —Mr. Shank is growing more difficult to bluff every day. The G . .4. R . Encampment This week the Grand Army of the Republic meets in Indianapolis, in annual encampment. These meetings commenced shortly after the close of the Civil War and for almost half a century have been a feature in American life. They have kept green and fresh memories of brave men and valiant deeds. The citizens of this city are not unmindful of this occasion and of afl it represents. They accord honor for bravery, reverence for sacrifice and perpetual memory for the vision of a united Nation, which carried men beyond the danger lines in their zeal to uphold. As the years go by the name of Lincoln grows greater. Those who shared his anrif-ty and his burdens share in the glory. A great crisis In human events was met and the whole world is immeasurably better for the sacrifices made. In the press of passing events it will ever be remembered that these veterans made possible all that has followed in national history. The great achievements since slavery was abolished in every line of activity have root in the toil and pain and suffering incident to the war. Again Indianapolis welcomes these heroes of a war of so long ago. It seeks to confer upon them its appreciation of the honor which they merit. It extends the hospitality of another generation which recognizes their value. In the words of Lincoln, this city seeks that the “dead shall not have died in vain; that the Nation shall have anew birth of freedom, and that the Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Belayed Road Building \ Presumably, highways, both county and State, are permanently improved because the traffic which they bear under normal conditions is sufflcienKto justify permanent improvement. When highways are closed and contracts are let to improve them the traffic that they normally bear is diverted and there is both inconvenience and economic loss. The longer the period of construction the greater th 9 inconvenience and loss. Common sense would dictate that no highway should be closed longer than-is absolutely necessary to its improvement. Ordinary judgment would prompt responsible officials to insist upon reasonable time limits in the contracts. Here in Marion County, unreasonably long periods have been afforded contractors in which to build roads. Some of our highways are still closed after two years, during which they have been neglected by contractors who seem to have no responsibility either for the inconvenience they create or the economic loss they compel. Two years is a sufficient period in which to place hard surfaces on all the main roads of the county. Certainly, it is about eight times too long a period to allow a contractor to build one road. There is not a road barrier in the ceunty today that does not stand as a monument to the stupidity or worse, of the officials responsible for road building. ’ Our Politico-Prohi Agents The average citizen will not become unduly excited over what is unquestionably an effort to build a political machine out of the Federal prohibition enforcement department in this State. Nothing else was expected with the delivery of the Government over to the Republican party, and now it is evident that no time is being lost in the effort Advocates of the enforcement of prohibition in Indiana cannot be said to be pleased with the make-up of'the prohibition department beaded by Bert Morgan, but those among them who knew the conditions that existed before Mr. Morgan took charge also knew that nothing has been lost in the change. Avery generous view of the prohibition enforcement problem in Indiana is that it will not be more acute under the present direction and it is not likely to be much less complex. Os course, prohibition agents ought to be selected for their ability to enforce prohibition, and, of course, they should not be required to do anything else. But experience has taught the public not, to expect a great deal from any prohibition enforcement agency and certainly there is nothing to arouse hope of an exception. Mr. Morgan assumed the direction of this agency in Indiana with the sanction and compliments of the Anti-Saloon League as well as the full confidence of Harry S. New, United States Senator, who aspires to be nominated again in the spring primaries. Presumably, the Anti-Saloon League was more interested in prohibition than in Mr. News’ political future. But there is some question as to which was guiding thought in Senator Nrw J a mind when he selected Morgan.

‘HONEYDEW’ IS CROWDED FULL OF MUSICAL HONEY Toto, a Grownup Clown, Sleeps in a Doll’s Bed— ‘Twin Beds’ on View

Sweet as honey. That's “Honeydew,” which is Efrem Zimba list's contribution to (lie modern stage. Zimbalist's “Honeydew’’ might be ile scribed as the “once and a while's' of the stage. The score of this "muslcality cannot he turned out every day because there is too much individual charm to the musical atmosphere found in it. Tin-pan alley is not to he found in the Zimbalist’s score. Here we have melody—true, haunting, sweet and lingering me’ody.

The entire company puts ovi r the many comedy situations iu a lively manner, making thl* year’s edition of this farve as enjoyable as in other s-asons.

Toto has made tit* clown business a fine art Johnny Burke in “Drafted” commands attention by the manner in which ho delivers some clover material on how he became a soldier and why. He has a droll sort of way nbout him and his high vob'e adds to his comical chatter. Tho second lie starts playing the piano, the world belongs to Burke. It- stopped the show yesterday afternoon.

D. 11. -!- -|- 4H\H AII INS TOP NEW BILL .AT THE LYRIC, The "Hawaiian craze” will never b* a thing of the past If present indications count for anything. This “craze” was started by “The Bird of Paradise” years ago when thut show introduced a band of Hawaiian singers and , dancers. The music made a decided impression upon th* American playgoers. Vaudeville was quick to see the possibilities of the Hawaiian musicians and dancers, and the result was that, many teams of “shredded wheat shakers” were put on thn circuits. The Hawaiian craze preceded the “Jazz craze” and indications are that Hawaiian music will outlive the “jazz steps.” The Lyric this wee-k Is presenting .Tonla, who Is billed as tho ‘Tearl of the Pacific.” She is assisted by other Hawalians in native dances and song. The

ukulele of course predominates during the act. The way this act Is being received shows that the Indianapolis publis is “strong" for such entertainment. In recognition of G. A.

Highways and By-Ways of OF OF New York

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—There are about I-j 0.000.000 Buddhists in the world, or onefourth the number of Christians and more than one-haif the number of Mohammedans. In Japan alone there are upwards of SO.tXXhCKX) Buddhists, divided into thirteen sects or'denominations. For two interesting hours the other afternoon Archbishop Sekizin Aral, head of the Soto sect, which numerically in Japan compares with the Methodists in the United States, being the second largest denomination of Buddhists In the island ernplte of the Pacific, arrayed in his purple ecclesiastical robes bordered with gold brocade in which the design of the chrysanthemum dominated, sat in the apartment of Masanio Kahoyaski, Japanese merchant prince, 150 West Seventy-Ninth street, and talked with me of the importance of international limitation of armaments and the innumerable points of contact between Buddhism and Christianity in the striving for the betterment of minkiud. “On Wednesday 1 am to have an audience with President Harding and explain to him the purpose of my mission to this great country,’ he said through the medium of interpreters. “I have come with a message not only from nif own sect but all of the thirteen denomi nations of Buddhism in Japan, which is the expression of a hope for a better tin derstanding between Buddhist Sand Christians.’' BEGAN HIS STUDIES AT THE AGE OF IS. Archbishop Sekizen Arais chief assets I should say are his captivating smile, flashing brown eyes and marvelous complexion. His head is completely shaved after the ctistom of the Buddisb priesthood and upon his left wrist was a cirelet of black beads. He Is M and he told me he began h's study for the ministry when he was 13. He was a devoted a>soeiate of Archbishop Mokusen. also of the Soto sect, who visited the United States five years ago In the interest of stopping the World War and who died last y*ar. “Then nearly th* whole world was fighting and little could be done by Archbishop Mokusen in the way of peace.” be said, “but now w* have before ns in tJi* many countries still knowledge of the terrible suffering that comes after war and the good men In all religions are working to light a candle of p*aca that will burn forever. Recently I visitvd Sing Sing Prison, and after being shown the cells and the workshops, I made a few remarks to the prisoners and then was asked for a motto to have cast in the linotype machines of the printing office. 1 first gave them. ’Be good and you will h* happy' and for another. ‘Today i* only once.' That applies alike to th* individual, to the family, to the Nation and to th* whole world." BUDDHISM HAD ORIGIN IN J XDI it ts und-uluhle that the various branches of the Buddhist faiili in Japan have engaged in fully as many sectarian controversies and squabbles as have occurred among the early ChrUtlans of Europe, it is also true that during the wars that devastated Japan from the twelfth to th* end of th* sbteenth on---turv many of the monasteries became military camps, and the priests wearing arm*r and wielding swords fought in secular as well as religions causes. Buddhism originated in India, catered China at the beginning of the Christian era and found its wav into Japan, via Korea in the sixth century. Thus the Japanese are people who arc converts to a form of wor shin foreign *o tlieir ancient religion. "We Buddhls's arc not heathens,” said Archbishop Sckizetj Aral. "We too believe in God—only we call the Deify by the name of Amida. We do not worship Idols—the images In our temples are there to concentrate the minds of the worshippers rfhd hold them to thoughts of th* Antida." He went on to explain how Buddhists b*!love truth is reached by contemplation and knowledge can be transmitted from heart to heart without the use of wmds and that the {toto sect spr ilized in adding scholarship and research to reflection and taught that the “highest w isdom and highest enlightnm*nt are attained when all the elemen’s of phenotuinal exi-tenc* are recognized as empty, vain and un real.’’ A 1.1, CLASSES IN’ RANKS OF WORSHIFERS. The members of the Koto priesthood are recognized tn Japan for their erudition and indifference to worldly possessions. Archbishop Kekizon Ari is n*t noble born. ll* slid ail classes, from the nobles to the farmers, were numbered In the 10/.00,000 communicants who worshiped In the 15,000 temples of tho Soto sect. He said that the largest in point of numbers was the Khinstau sect, with 20,000 temples and 15.000.000 worshipers. Tho Other sects of Japanese Buddhism in the order of their size ar* the ShlngGon. the Judo, the Mehiren, the Rinzal, the Tend.il, Obnku, file Jishu and the Uzu-Xenbutsu, and I assure all Christians that he rattled off the names with all the familiarity that an American archbishop lists our own religtouz denominations in their numerical order—Roman Catholics. Methodists. Baptists, Lutherans. Presbyterians, Disciples, Episcopals, CongregationMenonites and the Salvation Army. To Archbishop Sekizen Arai there ts no line of Important demarcation between the various branches of the Chrlstion Church. He is particularly interested in our edifices of worship, and he already has visited the Roman Catholic Kt. ratriek Cathedral in Fifth avenue and the unfinished Episcopal Kt. John's the Divine on Cathedral Heights. From the latter cathedral ho motored to Grant's tomb on Riverside drive, and he also has visited the largest, crematory in the metropolitan district. Ho has been through Columbia University. Monday lie visited the firruous street with a river at one end and church at the other, and has accepted an Invitation to enter and inspect this church, which is historic “Trinity." WONDERFULLY PLEASED AT HIS RECEPTION. “Not once stnoo my arrival have I felt that I was in a foreign country," he said with regard to the United States. “Everybody has been so kind and anxious to have me see everything. My emotions on rising in the morning are the same as In my own country. In Sing Sing prison, when I left, X shook hands with many of

the prisoners, and I did not need to bo told that every effort 1s being mad# to make them better man. I was very glad to see that. But you must not ask mo to make comparisons, either of religions or of nations. To know tho real Japan one must visit that country. I think the United States u wonderful; yes, wonderful, and before I sail for homo Oct. 17, I shall visit besides Washington, Boston, Philadelphia .a.id the other large centers of industry and thought.” There is ono thing that has been a source of great worry to the Japanese in charge of Archbishop Sekizeo Aral's trip, namely, where to quarter him. For be it known this ecclesiastic from the Far East is a vegetarian. Not ac occasional vegetarian, but a vegetarian in The fullest sense of the word. Ha has never eaten fish or meat.
