MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. . , „ JNew Tork, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. Advertising orrices /Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. MR. HULL’S OPTIMISM for the Democratic party was doubtless improved by his visit to Indiana. THE ANNOUNCEMENT of Mr. Beveridge's intentions and the Democratic editors’ meeting happened on the same day, but assurance is given that there was no significance therein. MAYOR SHANK demonstrates that while auctioneering may not be particularly dignifying it is profitable when applied to publio affairs, for the park concessions brought SB4O more to the city at the auction. Selecting a Candidate Self-charged with the duty of selecting a Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, a number of Democrats who like to regard themselves as leaders of theft- party have been meeting in Indianapolis and considering the advisability of supporting first this person and then the other. Their interest in the selection of a candidate lies in the possibility of this being the year in which the restless independent voter and the disgruntled Republican voter will turn from the Republican to Democratic ranks and make fheir choice a Senator. For the most part, the members of this group of party manipulators are of the opinion that Albert J. Beveridge will be nominated by the Re-! publicans without more than a perfunctory contest. And they hold to the fond hope that the supporters of Senator Harry S. New will bolt their party in a body in event of the nomination of the progressive Mr. j Beveridge. Having thus disposed of the question of from what source the votes are to be derived, they have no further worry, except the provision of a recipient for these votes who will be satisfactory to them and to theirs. "Without entering into any discussion of the right of any group of Democrats to select a senatorial candidate in advance of the primary where such selections are presumed to be made, it might be well to give some consideration to the question of the soundness of the reasoning of these Democrats who like to call themselves party leaders. In the first place, the assumption that Albert J. Beveridge is going to win the Republican nomination is wholly unwarranted. It springs largely from the rural districts of Indiana where there is a strong Beveridge senti-; ment and it recks not with the strongholds of the New following. Albert J. Beveridge may be the choice of the Republican party of Indiana, but it does not necessarily follow that he will be the nominee for the United States Senate. In fact, it may be safely said that the capture of that nomination by Beveridge would be an accomplishment wo. thy of great adiplratlon. Those Democrats and others who believe Mr. Beveridge has an easy task ahead of him, are assuming that Marlon County will be swept Into the Beveridge camp by the Shank organization because Samuel Lewis ' Shank is supporting Beveridge. The belief is ill-advised. Samuel Lewis Shank would not have been a candidate for the office j of mayor except for the fact that his closest political advisers realized that while Shank couid command great support as a candidate, he could not himself direct his following to the support of any otheT candidate. Shank Is one of that type of political leaders behind whom a great many voters will march. Never, however, has he been able to sit in the rear and direct these voters to any one else. The truth about the Marion County situation is that Sbank cannot command,,his own organization to follow Beveridge and there Is not the remotest possibility that Senator New will be overwhelmed ip Indianapolis. On the contrary, New will either win Marion County or the vote will be so close as to preclude the county influencing the result in the State. This prediction is not, we admit, either to the liking of the belief of the so-called Democratic leaders, but it is nevertheless most likely of fulfillment and should be given the closest consid ration In any gather- ; ing that essays to select a Democratic nominee. Pre-primary selection of a Democratic senatorial nominee is fraught I with considerable responsibility. Those persons who are willing to assume this responsibility should, at least, give careful consideration to the politi- j cal premises before formulating their compacts. President Harding, it will be recalled, recently expressed more faith l in the “intelligent, collective judgment” of great minds than In the ability j of the primaries to select candidates. But Mr. Harding laid a little stress on the qualifying adjective, “in telligent,” the definition of which should not be wholly overlooked.
To Limit the Lincoln Henry Ford appears to have realized the approaching danger to himself in the extension of his activities to manufacture of other than the Ford type of products and in further acquisitions of railroads. He denies that it is his intention to be a bull in a china shop and announces that he will limit the production of Lincoln cars in the plant which he has just acquired. He also announces that he does not desire to purchase any more railroads. The entrance of Ford into the higher class automobile field through the purchase of the Lincoln company created some consternation among makers of high priced cars who foresaw the possibilities of quantity production of a car so designed as to be produced at a lower, price than their own product without the sacrifice of such essentials as would prevent it from ranking almost in the class of their own product Such a possibility wmuld have remained a nightmare among those in the industry who were not so fortunately situated as to be able to withstand the period in which the public might accomplish its comparison. Mr. Ford now says that hq does not believe any one man should dominate the automobile field. one man ever will be able to dominate the field and the statement from Mr. Ford is merely an announcement that he realizes the impossibility and does intend to try. A Six-Year Term The most significant statement uttered by APoert J. Beveridge in his speech of response to the call for his candidacy for Senator was his declaration that: "AH voters must hear in mind the capital fact that the Senator to be chosen next November will serve, not only for the remaining two years of the present administration, but for three times that long. His term will not expire before March 5, 1929. Human wisdom cannot forecast the emergencies that may arise during that extended space of time.” This statement must be construed to mean that in his candidacy Mr. Beveridge does not intend to limit his campaign to the issue of whether or not President Harding is supported by Indiana Republicans. 'The ex-Senator is shrewd. He has evolved a method by which he may j temper his campaign to necessity after testing the public’s opinion. He announces that after his petition is filed he will discuss questions of public interest. That discussion is what the public wishes and the exSenator cannot proceed to the task too soon. Creating Prosperity Business depression is a state of mind that has been reflected to such an extent among the masses that the situation Is taken for granted. They see no effort by manufacturers to extricate themselves from the condition that exists. It is accepted as true that the public refuses to pay high prices and the manufacturer is not yet in position to produce cheaply. Material produced during the time of ‘‘high cost** Is too expensive to use extensively for manufacturing purposes now unless those having high priced goods on hand are willing to sell at a meager margin of profit. Therefore, there is not a normal amount of manufacturing. Everything must first be thought before it can be accomplished. Bridges and buildings are first planned before they materialize. We must begin to think prosperity a possibility before we can have it. The solution of this problem starts with the consumer. Those who can afford to do so should be willing to buy at the present prices, thus there will be an Improvement In conditions in general. The members of the Rotary Club are thinking along the right line. Their advice Is to buy, build and create a job for every man. Prosperity for aIL ->
JANE COWL APPEARS IN DUAL ROLE Which Broadway Approved o f Some Time Ago
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Miss Jane Cowl brought “Smilin’ Through” to the Murat last night for r, tliree-day engagement. The performance last night was not the first presentation of the play In Indianapolis, as Mr. Stuart Walker presented it at the Murat last summer. I went to the Murat last night realizing one fact—that the edge of expectancy of seeing the play was not as keen because I was familiar with It after seeing Mr. Walker's masterful efforts In producing “Smilin’ Through” last summer. It Is unusual to have the original star bring a play Into a city after It hud j been done by other players. This seldom j happens In a theater and It Impresses me jas poor showmanship. When a play has j been released for stock presentation, the j impression generally is-"that the original star is through with it. Judging by conversations I heard In the theater during Intermissions there were quite a number present last night : who saw the Walker production. Miss i Cowl, on her first entrance, got Just a I ripple of applause. She took one curtain | at the end of the play. ! The audience was not discourteous to j Miss Cowl but the “edge” of the evening had been taken away becuuse the play had been seen here previously. And Mr. Walker’s company presented it in a masterful fashion at $1.50 top price. Miss Cowl Is charging $.3 top at night. I have stated a few facts and they are significant facts. The recital of those facts are not a reflection upon the ability of Miss Cow] because she gives a i magnificent performance. The argu- | ment may be advanced that Mr. Walker j has repeated in a season a play pre- | sented In a former season. That is true j j with “The Book of Job” and capacity ruled on the afternoon of the “revival” ! Just as It did In the previous season, i But this fact must be considered. Some of the players who appeared In the firs’ presentation appeared last year. I psobnbly will be the object of criticism In making these observations but as long as It is my duty to write of, the stage It is my solemn obligation to write my honest convictions whether they are pleasant or unpleasant. I for one am not afraid of facts. In speaking directly of Miss Cowl’s

Her grief and Joy in the final act of the play U a triumph in impressed and perfectly controlled emotionalism. Miss Cowl brings the spirit of youth to both roles as well as great beauty. I have only the highest regard for the work of Miss Cowl. Hr. Grant is satisfactory as John Carteret. Sir. Hales Is much more effective as the aged Hr. Owen Harding than In depleting the doctor when h was younger Mr. Caldara does his best work as Kenneth Wayne as the returned soldier In the final act of the play. He does praiseworthy acting In that a>'t. He also enacts the role of Jeremiah Wayne In th first scene tho second act. From a scenic standpoint. Miss Cowl's production Is one of wondrous beauty.

POKER PLAYERS’ HOLD-UP BAFFLES Police Unable to Get Definite information. The police investigation of the rumored ; $2,000 hold tip and robbery of six poker , players, said to have occurred early Mon- | day morning, seems to be at a standstill A man who refused to give bis name, j telephoned the police, telling of a poker game In a North Pennsylvania street i rooming house that started Sunday night j nnd ended Monday morning when two j masked bandits entered the room, eov- j ered the gamblers with revolvers and ro j lieved them of $2,000 woru. of money j and Jewelry. Later a well known busl ; ness man told the police that he had re I celvej a telephone cull from a man who j refused to give his name, telling of the poker game and hold-up, and naming two dentists as victims of the brokers. , The officers who Investigated went to the rooming house on North Pennsylvania street not far from Michigan street and questioned the landlady. She denied that a poker game had been played at j her house or that she had heard of the i hold-up. The two dentists were ques- j tioned and both declared they had been ! at church with their wlvs and had gone j to their homes after leaving church. That ended the police investigation i with the exception of an under world tip j that the man who operated the game was j a professional gambler, well known to the 1 police. The report that the bandits had j formerly "sat in" at the poker game and ! had been heavy losers, but got th'dr money back by commhtiiig the hold np Is j also a rumor that the police have failed j to veriffTy. Local sporting men express j doubt that two stick-up men got Jewelry | and money totaling about $2,000, and also j seemed unable to give information about who were the six men in the reputed j game.
America Can No Longer Live Just to Herself Our Foreign Relations Will Keep Us From Ever Again Rei ng i Home Folk /
Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE D REXEL. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—1 t seems almost impossible to get away from our ■relations In other countries to settle down just to “home folks” and their affairs. While the men have been fussing about Europe and tho Far East, women have taken a lead in knitting -he Americans closer together. other subject seems to be engrossing more of their attention in Washington at this moment. PAN ATI ERICAN WOMEX’S PARLEY The Pan-Ameriean conference of women to bo bold under the auspices of the League of Women Voters in Baltimore already has aroused considerable attention. Delegates are coming from Canada, Cuba, and all the LatinAmerican republics to meet with women of the United States In Baltimore and Washington. Os course they will also make trips to other cities. But here is si 111 another plan to consolidate women's interests In all the Americas, details of which are just being announced by Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes and Mrs. Robert Lansing, wives of the present anil former Secretary of State. MRS. HUGHES ACTIVE. It seems rather confusing, but the former is chairman of the wouii n s aux'iiary committee of the United Slates, and the latter Is chairman of the United States members of the international committee, organized at the time of the FanAmerican scientific congress, held In Washington late In 1915. Says Mrs. Hughes In her statement; i “There was never a time when International friendliness was of greater Importance than now, and I feel, deeply, that those sectional will further more friendly relations and barl monlous cooperation among the women iof the Americas. They cannot fall to ! create a better understanding and a larger sympathy—thus placing their International Interests upon a more enduring basis.” TO ADVANCE AMEBK AN GOOD WILL. Nays Mrs. Lansing of their plans: he Pan American international confire nee of women was formed In the belief that the organized women of the three Americas can greatly aid in furthering Inter-American good will. This belief has been Justified in many ways since the organization of the committee. “The Pan-American ideal of interdependence and mutual service will be greatly strengthened by the reaults of the Columbus day conference, which offers an unexcelled opportunity for coor- . dinatlon of women’s work. The contributions. discussioiis and resolutions cen tring around their common program will be of the greatest help In creatirg common thinking and common action among Pan-American women.” Miss Al!' Robertson, representative from Oklahoma, and only woman mem her of Congress, again has proved she has the courage of her convictions by her public statement that she intends to rote ngainst the soldier '’bonus"— If it ever comes to a Tote | n Congress.

SAYS EVIDENCE WILL NOT APPLY TO MADALYNNE Court’s Ruling Held Favorable to Former Northwestern University Co-ed. LOS ANGELES. Feb. 17.-Malalynne Obenchain has won the first point In her legal fight for freedom from the charge of murdering John Belton Kennedy at Beverly Glenn. Superior Judge Sidney Reeves’ decision that the long chain of circumstantial evidence involving Arthur C. Burch cannot be used to connect Mrs. Obenchain with the tragedy was today regarded as an important victory for the beautiful woman whom the State 1b attempting to brand ns a murderess. Chief Counsel Judd Kush, leading the Obenchain defense, was frankly elated. He explained that the peculiar actions of Bur-'h before the murder, his flight from Log Angeles and his subsequent statements could not be used against Madaly nne. “The case ngainst Mndalynno Obenchain Is complete despite the Reeves' ruling," A. B. Keyes, directing the prosecution while District Attorney Wool wine’s attention is occupied with the Taylor murder, declared today. Keyes la engaged In painting for the Jnry a mental portrait of the former prize beauty of Northwestern University ns a Lorelei who lured gay young John Kennedy Into the murder trap In the lonely glen where Burch, alleged platonic friend, shot him frotn ambush in revenge for the light manner in which Kennedy Is supposed to hava held Madsleynne's love. Greater crowds than attended the first tr'.nl of Arthur Burch packed the little court room to seo Madatynne. who has now only s careworn shell of her former beauty. The coming trip of Judge and Jurors to Beverley film, where Madaiynne Is to enact the part she played In the mysterious midnight murder Is expected to furnish the dramatic sensation of the case.

MEN AND BUSINESS By RICHARD SPILLANE
Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.—1f you think the farmer is not down to earth read what one of the lSadli. g bankers of the Middle West has to sry: “I am a director in telephone companies In five States of the grain belt. Our records show an unprecedented number of telephones discontinued In the farm regions. Inquiries as to the cause brings the Invariable answer, ‘we cannot afford It any longer.’ “Our investigators report the most drastic economy throughout the agricultural belt. Sales of gasoline are abnormally low. Automobiles are used less than in years. When the farmer goes to town he hitches up his horse to wagon or old buggy instead of cranking up his car as has neen the custom. The fanner is not spending money for ‘gas’ or anything else if he possibly can avoid it. The prime reason is that he has not the ready money and he can borrow from the country banker only for urgent necessities. “On a recent Journey I went into South Dakota. A farmer who has a considerate acreage told me he and his wife had taken account of all their household and personal possessions. They believed that by the most rigid care and economy they could S' rape along for several years without purchasing any more clothing or household utensils. It would require much of patching and self-denial. WONDER If the people of the east appreciate the situation on the farm. I do not know that what 1 have outlined is typical of the whole agricultural district, but I do know that never in the last decade was such rigid economy practiced in the section of the west with which I am familiar as is manifest today. “The farmer goes to the village or country store less today than In many years. He buys only what he urgently needs, no has faced liquidation with a stoic resolution that commands mirespect.” The banker outlines a condition the average city dweller does not appreciate. The telephone has done much to relieve the monotony of the farm. It has made It possible for the farmer and the farmer’s wife to keep In touch with neighbors, to “visit" by wire. The taking out of the telephone deprives them of one of the few luxuries they have known. This applied principally to the sections of tho west where the distances between farms is much greater than In the territory east of the Mississippi. The curtailment of the use of the automobile and the return of the use of the horse and buggy or horse and wagon restricts also the range of their Tiew and the number of friends they see or with whom they hold conversations. This Is a great deprivation In the gee-

tions where the winters are long and the population sparse. The telephono and the automobile, once semi-luxuries have become instead semi-necessities, but the pressure of the times has made It compulsory. It appears, for many of the agriculturists to give them up. • • • WHAT if city folk had to resort to such economies? They probably would find It difficult at first to adjust themselves to the changed conditions. But the farmers seem to be accepting the situation and little or nothing has been heard from them about it until now a banker brings it to public attention. The purchasing power of the farmer has been reduced greatly. The outlook to him may seem bleak for the processes of the farm are slow. But back of the present situation there is much of promise. He will produce his crops this year at a cost lower than In many years. He will plow deep. He will give an attention to details of cultivation such as he did not observe In some other years. If weather conditions favor him his yield per acre will be large. If prices of wheat, corn and oats, of cattle, hogs and other products are fair he will have a reward that will bring back to him the telephone and automobile and the semiluxuries that are not luxuries, but articles of utility and worth. He should have them. The farm Is the backbone of America. It may seem weak today but It Is not. It is strong, probably never was stronger than when the farm is stripped for the greatest task in the world, the turning of the coomtless miles that makes the furrows into which go the seed and from which come the food for the millions here and millions beyond the seas.—Copyright, 1922, by Pubilc Ledger Company. 500 Monkeys Used in Battle Against “Flu” NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Five hundred monkeys.
