Frank Francis does not appear to have made any confession yesterday! FEW PERSONS will worry about the name of a road if It is kept in good condition. L. ERT SLACK says he wishes he was not in the Government service. What’s holding him? THE OWNERSHIP of a stolen car sometimes makes a great deal of difference to the police. NOW maybe Henry Dithmer is convinced that a crime really is committed in lndianapoiis occasionally. IF a few more persons had a sense of humor there would be no more need for worry about the Ku-Klux Klan. WHEN IN DOUBT insist that the signatures on a petition are not valid, seems to be the policy in some quarters. THE TAX BOARD having no part, those Sunnyside buildings may eventually be completed despite delays. WHAT PROFITS a man to be a member of the board of safety if it does not exempt him from the toll of the automobile thieves? V. THE PROHIBITION enforcement department has ordered the sale of home brew ingredients stopped. Presumably they have discovered what the stuff really is made of. THE QUESTION of whether all the applause came from boys in the front row or whether large crowds were turned away in some cases depends on policy rather than on facts. PROBABLY Mr. Fletcher explained to the grand jury why his detective department failed to arrest Francis when it knew he was in Indianapolis. That may have accounted for the length of his examination. INDIANAPOLIS is reverting to the da/s of the wild and woolly West. One day there is a hold-up rivaling those of the James boys and the next a wolf is shot in a thickly populated neighborhood. Anyhow , It Ends Soon! The serious task of selecting officials who for four years will have control of the afTairs of the city of Indianapolis is approaching rapidty and probably more than ever before it finds the electorate unprepared for an intelligent choice. Partisan lines, on which such selections are usually made, have not held against the furious attacks upon them and today we have the Democratic candidate for mayor solemnly' declaring that he expects to receive more Republican votes than his opponent. On the other hand, registration work discloses that thousands of Democrats of the city are supporting the Republican nominee. At this time, it does not appear that a choice will be made along partisan lines. The most interesting development of the campaign has been the accusation against a Republican candidate made by a confessed crook. This accusation has been sufficient to cause the Republican candidates as a body to ask the public to withhold support k from one of the men on their ticket. It would seem that the choice of a city judge is to be influenced by the unsubstantiated word of a confessed burglar. Neither of the candidates for mayor has advanced any constructive platform on which to apeal for votes. There is not an issue worthy of the name before the public, unless we are to accept Mr. Ralston s stand against better sanitation and Mr. Shank’s dissatisfaction with the police department as issues. Os course, we have the attempts of the supercilious to gain advantage through sarcastic references to the songs sung at political metings and to belittle candidates because of their mannerisms or their businesses. But the truth of the matter Is that not a single good reason has at yet ftieen advanced by the managers of either party as to why their candidates should be elected. „ Just at present groups of trained seals are performing on the speakers’ stumps for both the candidates for mayor and their performances are highly amusing, even though they do nothing toward helping the electorate to a choice. It is an open question as to which party’s group is the most Inconsistent, but there is no question about the futility of the efforts of either. - Os course, common sense dictates that the thing the public wants to know is why either candidate for mayor should be elected. Perhaps it is the sheer inability of the speakers to find any such reason that compels them to resort to the drivel with which they are entertaining ns. - M ■ ■- Preserving the Past An evidence of growth, materially and in civic matters, Is manifest in the recent agitation of the National Old Trails Road Association to enlist cooperation In the perpetuation of the history of highways long ago established by early settlers. It seems in keeping with the modern spirit which is establishing monuments, erecting tablets and noting places of historic Interest throughout the State. Indiana Is sufficiently wealthy now to preserve landmarks of magnitude and thus keep fre c h the memory of those whose sacrifice makes living worth while today. State parks are but memorials to lovers of beauty; ' highways are enduring and fitting monuments to worthy enterprises, while ! bronze tablets abound for future guidance and reminders. In the past there was not the spirit of appreciation manifested as now. Perhaps events were too near. It may be a statesman is a dead politician, though this is not always true. Certainly intervening years have not dimmed the luster of Washington, nor should they of thousands of unknown heroes and heroines who pioneered Indiana and sacrificed that life might be fuller for the coming generation. Recently a compilation of the lives of IndipAa artists was made by Mrs. H. B. Burnet of Indianapolis and soon it will be issued in book form. Thereby again is the wealth of historical knowledge accumulated, for in ! fewer years than is realized, Indiana will turn its appreciation to those early artists whose lives should not be forgotten. The community has so grown that it may well pause a moment to do reverence to the memory of those of its sons and daughters whose efforts to brighten life were not made in vain. More Neglect! The reason assigned by the county government for purchasing certain portable buildings for use at Sunnyside sanitarium at a greater cost than the material for such buildings could be> purchased was that time would be conserved thereby. Months have passed since the purchase and investigation shows that less has been done toward the erection of the portable buildings than could easily have been done toward the erection of permanent structures. In ot? ei words, the county officials spent public money to insure speed In the erection of the buf’dings and then promptly forgot all about speed and permitted the construction to be delayed. The purpose of the erection of these buildings at the sanitarium was to provide more beds for tubercular patients, hundreds of whom are awaiting treatment at the sanitarium. _ Delay in the treatment of the patients is particularly conducive to fatal consequences. No one knows how many lives have been lost through the negligence Os the county officials who were quick to spend county money to burry the work, but slow to take the other simple steps necessary to complete the construction work demanded. This community has become accustomjed to inefficiency in public office, bet It has not yet reached a point where ft approves of neglect that costs lives.

RUMOR HAS NOT BEEN FALSE Because Nance O’Neil Is Magnificent as Raimunda

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. “See them. Lip to lip.” Nance O’Neil as Rfiimnnda otters those words as her second husband, Estoban, passionately kisses the lips of his stepdaughter. Acacia. Kisses her not as a father but as a lover. Acacia nestles in his arms as a passionate lover, not as a daughter. Reimunda shrieks the message of the false love In her home The cry brought the law and the neighbors in the house. Estoban attempts to retain the pleasure which he had just tasted. He fires a shot. Raimunda falls. Estoban again la a murderer The hand of the law falls on his shoulder. The soul of Raimunda goes to the great beyond, rejoicing that Estoban now is unable to harm her daughter. Acacia is saved from her stepfather by the blood of her mother. That is the dramatic climax of Jacinto Benavente’s “The Passion Flower,” known in the original as “La Malquerida." The above is Just a rough idea of the big scene of the play which caused a large Indianapolis audience to leave English's last night In a dazed condition. For once we have seen a play with a most unhappy ending, but one so natural and powerful, so overwhelmingly convine.ng. that we are forced to admit that It could not be otherwise' After the final curtain men and women ling red in their seats to recall Nance O'Neil and the members of her compauy. Women of the aud cnee with their faces still stained with tears left the theater as if In a dream. The magic of Nance O’Nell was never felt more completely than last night. I have followed closely the success of the star in this weird but beautiful play of the strange love of a stepfather for his stepdaughter. , I knew that when “The Passion Flower” was presented on a speaking stage In Indianapolis that Nance O’Neil would appear as Raimunda, the wife, who by the bitterest of experiences, discovers that her second husband murdered the promised husband of her daughter—murdered him because her second husband could not bear to have his stepdaughter leave his home. I knew that Nance O’Neil would play the part of Raimunda because she Is the only woman on the American stage who would dare to play the role. Nance O'Neil is the only actress on the speaking stage today who could play this part. Miss O'Neil has brought to the very door steps of Indianapolis the kind of acting of which we have been starved for years, it is seldom that one sees such a dramatic and tragic performance as Is given by her. I remembered her voice from “The Lily" and last night this, golden voce was even more golden, more powerful aud possessed to the fullest ex-

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1921.

tent the attributes strike at the | very hearts of men and women. After seeing “The Passion Flower” last night, I can understand why Miss O'Neil Is so enthusiastic over the work of Bennvente. He is worlfl wide. He is not just Spanish. His theme Is the theme of the wor’d—love. Love, whether it be good or bad, natural or unnatnr.nl. Benavente I can weave In a masterful fashion the ele--1 ment of an unnatural love into a torrent of hate and death, then causing the hate In a woman’s heart to turn into the milk of love. Nance O’Neil ] s fond of the works of Benavente because he is the one artist who is big enough to give this woman a vehicle worthy of her marvelous ability. The author is more than safe when Nance O'Neil is impersonating his characters, and Nance O'Neil is eqnal'y safe when she Is putting her heart and soul Into the dramatic heart beats of Benavente’s weird and colorful imagination. “The Passion Flower” will not cause you to laugh, but it will thrill and even whip you into submission as scene after r.cene permits Nance O'Neil to unfold her dramatic powers... She will hurl you into the stormy river of conflict—the same '•onfllet that she endures in the play. She will cause you to suffer with her when she cries out that her own daughter, the daughter of her blood, is kissing Estoban “lip to lip”—kissing him not as a daughter. but as a passionate lover. There you will see the divine spark of Nance O'Neil's artistry. That one second is worth the entire price of admission to English's. In fact that second is price’ess. In keeping with the exceptional talents of the star, are the individual qualifications of the members of her company. I seriously doubt if there could be much improvement in the work of any. At times the work of Miss Dorothy Ellin as Acacia baffled me, but In the final minutes of the play, 1 realized that the role should be played just as it Is played by Miss Ellin. It is an unsympathetic and even a tricky role because in the heart of Acacia is the solution of the tragedy in the first act. Alfred Hickman as Estoban is magnificent in every e.ie especially in the last act when he tellj his wife that even in the night when be was at her side, his thoughts were of her daughter. Equally magnificent Is the suppressed silence Hnd Indicated suffering of Nance O’Neil. I have only praise for H. IT. McCollum as Rubio, the tool of Estoban. The remainder of the cast was more than adequate. Opinion—ls you hesitate to face a truth, then do not see “The Passion Flower.” If yon are not fond of a powertul and fearless writer, then shut the ps.ee* of Benavente. If you rejoice in see'ng and hearing the highest talented won an before ’he American public today —thin go to English's either today or tomorrow and witness this Imnressive and powerful outburst of the sufferings of a woman’s soul.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping: House With the Hoopers

I The Hoopers, au average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times bow the many present-day problema of the home are solved by working or the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat of living with them.] FRIDAY. The meeting of the Woman's Clnb was again marked by a large attendance of Its members, as the outlining of the work for the year was to be continued. And each one was interested in what her as--1 signment was to be in carrying out the ■ comprehensive program that bad been , planned by the president and her various 1 committees. Mrs. Hooper’s continued absence was greatly regretted as they were very an xious to begin at once the program of the department of heme economics, and none of the other women could be iu duced to begin it until she was back to preside as chairman) of the section. It hnd been suggested by the president that they might continue the informal discussion of budgets that they hail been carrying on during the vacation months, and it was finally resolved that if Mrs Hoopers were not able to be with them for several weeks, that the best plan would be to go on in this way. “It seems to me,” remarked the president. “that those sample budgets on which you bave been working should be finished, and that your consideration of them can go right on in your club section as it did in the small group during the summer. Then when Mrs. Hooper returns, we will have a completed set of budgets read/ for a general discussion. “We had reached only as far as the i clothing allowance in the budget we are I preparing,” volunteered Mrs Chapin, ' and we have still three other items to 1 discuss—operating expenses, advancement ! and saving. Aud I quite agree that it j will be the best plan for us to go on j and complete them.”

This suggestion meeting with the general approval of the other women, Mrs. Chapin was appointed temporary chairman of the section with Instruction that they continue their informal discussion. Ihe last Friday in each mouth was then designated nr the oue on which the club was to meet for a general discussion of the work outlined by the National Federation of Women’s Chubs which met In Denver in June; and the other meetings of the month were to be devoted to the , work of the various sections.

And he waved his sword aud ; all the little boys marched after him un- j til they came to the village, where there was a recruiting station. And when the general saw Puss Junior at the head of the ten little Boy Scouts, he said : “You shall be a major, my dear Puss Junior. “My father, the famous Puss in Boots, is Major Domo to my Lord of Carabas,” replied our little hero, saluting the general. “And he will be delighted to learn that I am a major also!” This made the general laugh, for, of i course, it wasn't the same thing at all, j you know.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By THE OBSERVER. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Japan and China have had I heir first conference clash in Washington. It raged around the not inconsiderable question of living quarters. A group of Japanese newspaper correspondents, who have taken the field betimes, was negotia’ing with the management of the capitol’s largest apart- ' ment building for a suite. The tnanage- | ment put them off from day to day. i claiming at first that the painters and j decorators would require possession of J the rooms indefinitely, then offering some i other pretext why the quarters could not j be assigned to the scribes of Nippon, i Finally the management, to Its ostenslj b!y profound regret, announced that the i rooms would not be available at all. as ' the entire floor, which happened to contain them, had been taken by the Chinese government. There was gnashing of teeth in tones (he management could not decide, but of gen ral Import there was no I room for misunderstanding. Henry White, whose home in the Berkshire hills, at Lenox. Mass., was bnrglarized on Monday night, lost no time in communicating with the State Department today to deny reports that the thieves stole, among other things, valuable memoranda relating to the Paris peace conference.
