Candidates 9 War Records The Republican senatorial contest in Indiana has wandered far afield from the campaign that was announced as one that would not condone personal attacks and which would leave the victorious candidate with a united and harmonious party with which to face the Democrats this fall. Hoosiers daily are being treated to rhetorical outbursts relative to the personal conduct of the two aspirants, particularly their “war” records. Only the other day Judge Arthur R. Robinson, with a fine service record so his credit, felt Impelled to answer the charges made against Mr. Beveridge’s performances during the war and he seized the occasion to declare that Senator New found “it safer in the cloakroom of the United States Senate.” He came to the defense of Mr. Beveridge’s much-talked of book, “What Is Back of the War,” which was barred from public libraries during the war and which has been under fire from New orators, and declared that the author had “looked at it (the war) dispassionately.” He also answered the charges that Mr. Beveridge had offered his services to the Washington Administration when we entered the conflict and had never even received an acknowledgment In the meantime, however, the New partisans are not silent and are making much of the fact that the Senator served as a captain during the Spanish-American war and that he was "right” during the war with Germany, "He (Mr. Beveridge) has never served the country tinder arms, though he had opportunity to do so,” reads literature circulated in behalf of Senator New. “In 1898, when the war with Spain began, Beveridge was about 35. Did he volunteer? He did not. During the world war he was over draft age, but did he do anything for the Liberty Loan drives or any other patriotic work for the United States? He did rot.” All of which should afford the Democrats some very valuable campaign documents for use this fall if they are mindful to follow the example of their Republican brethren in making the issues revolve axound the "war” records of the candidates. 'One Way to Cut Taxes Municipalities having difficulty in living within their incomes, among which one of the notable examples is Indianapolis, might adopt the methods threatened by the eccentric mayor of Youngstown, Ohio, if they feel the taxpayers should be presented with an object lesson. “I am figuring on laying off all police except the chief and ten patrolmen,” says Youngstown’s mayor. "Patrolmen will be used as a flying squadron to bring in law violators. The chief will take them before the judge, who will take their money from them. “All firemen will be laid off except eight. Eight of the twelve stations will be closed. A captain and engineer will be kept at each station. The engineer will operate the engine and the captain will put out the fire.” There is no doubt that such action would promote municipal economy, but it Is also doubtful if even the loudest objectors to taxpaying would consent to such a drastic curtailment of civic agencies. Unless Mayor Sfiank and the city eouncilmen can compose their personal differences, however, Indianapolis may find itself face to face with equally as effective stoppage of municipal labors in the near future. The mayor has vowed he will not send another ordinance to the council and the conncilmen say they don’t care. The city cannot drift through the next four years with its governing heads divided against themselves as they are now.

E . Mont Reily Indicted The indictmenl of E. Mont Reily, governor of Porto Rico, and two others by a San Juan grand jury charging misuse of public funds brings to a climax one of the most unfortunate chapters in the history of American insular government. Ever since Mr. Reily, selected for the post,by President Harding solely because of his political activities in his behalf in Kansas City, landed on the island there has been discord among the natives. Delegations have appealed for his dismissal and his presence there has caused the organization of an aggressive and formidable party demanding Porto Rican freedom and independence. Mr. Reily was called to the White House at the height of the trouble and reports were that he would be asked to resign. Evidently, however, he was sent back to his post with executive approval and for that very reason President Harding must now stand responsible for the man whom he intrusted with the governorship of the island. It was originally charged that Mr. Reily sought to ‘Republicanize” the Porto Ricans and that his methods were so offensive that he antagonized the native leaders. The grand jury charges, however, are far more serious and whether they can be substantiated or not, Mr. Reily’s reign probably is ended. V More Federal Judgeships The inconsistencies of Congress are numberless. First we heard a great ado over superfluous Federal office holders and columns were written about how these official parasites were separated from their positions, much to the relief of overburdened taxpayer. Now comes the Senate with the passage of a bill creating twenty-four more Federal judgeships. It is doubtful if any of the States thus honored have any more need for additional judges than Indiana, which has been proven to be well taken care of by Judge A. B. Anderson. The creation of so many more Federaljobs bears a striking relation to “pork barrel” methods and was so charged upon the floor of the Senate by the Democratic members. A Federal judgeship Is a mighty appointment for a designing and ambitious politician to hand out and will prove a great asset In strengthening weakened political fences at home. The Army and Navy can be cut to the point of absurdity in the name of economy, but the pork barrel must be kept filled to verflowing, especially on the eve of an eventful campaign.

CHARLIE PRESENTS THE BOSS WITH"A WHITE LILY *Foolish Wives’ Cost a Fortune—Arliss in a Comedy — ‘A Game Chicken' Here

The Charlie Chaplin of .the good old days Is back. - His hat, his cane and his funny little walk have accompanied the return of the old Chaplin to the screen. That’s the glad news J have for yon today. The old time Chaplin fun starts when the crauk begins to turn in the unwinding of the cane, baggy 'trouOharlie Chaplin. sers, hat, strange coat and the like — a white lily, which he presents to the boss of the gang with all the grace expected of a barefoot classical dancer. There are numerous typical Chaplin scenes in "Pay Day” such as those devoted to the new way of laying brick. He catches the bricks as they are thrown to him under his right and left arms, under his chin, between hi3 legs and evert on his face. The photographing ot this stunt has been cleverly accomplished. On pay daj’ the "old lady” is irbout and Charlie has a terrible time holding out on her. He manages to keep out enough change for a night out, and, returning at a late hour, he discovers that his shoes creak. He grabs and oil can and oils up his "dogs.” Just as he starts to retire, the alarm clock goes off and Charlie puts on his coat, tips his hat to his wife and starts to work without a wink of sleep. liis attempt to snatch some sleep in a bathtub filled with water Is good for many laughs. The travsty on the “owl street car' is a delightful bit of satire. Other cities have their crowded street cars, you knuw I like ‘Tay Day” because it is full of Chaplin. No one but Chaplin lias much to do. Although it is not a great Chap lin picture. I like It because it gives us back the Charlin of the old days. The bill at the Circle this week has

This picture shows our humorous friend, Buster Keaton, stepping into an ocean of funny situations in a movie called "The Tale Face,” now on view at Mister Smith’s. He makes a funny looking Injun smoking a pipe of peace. The bill also Includes a movie ve.rsi'n of an old story, "A Virginia Courtship,” with May MacAvoy in the leading role.

another announced feature In “The Woman’s Side,” featuring Katherine MacDonald. Miss MacDonald may be the world’s best looking woman, but this picture shows that she has much to learn about acting. The story is poor melodramatic stuff. Cheer up. The Chaplin picture is worth the price of admission at the Circle his week —W. D. H. CONCERNING "FOOLISH WIVES.” Enter "Foolish Wives.” For months it has been billed as the '‘ first real million dollar picture."

If any picture cost several fortunes, this one would have put King Midas In bankruptcy. Fortunes have been spent at every turn of the director—Erich Von Stroheim. Technically, “Foolish Wives” is one of the big pictures of the year but, unfortunately. it Is a sex picture. The chief aim of the villain of this picture is to Involve as many w omen ns possible in scandal. He

wrecks nearly all of them. Aud yet 1 must admit that ‘"Foolish Wives,” from a production standpoint, is the most costly and lavish production I have seen on the screen in many months. Expert direction, really marvelous photography, strange and weird effects, powerful acting and some of the largest sets reflected on the screen today all have an important bearing upon "Foolish Wives.” I xx-ill give the cast of principals as follows: Andrew ,T. Hughes (17. 8. Special Envoy to Monaco) Rudolph Christians Helen, His Wife Miss Dupont Her Highness, Princess Olga ivtschnlkoff Mamie George Her Cousin, Princess Vera Petschnlkoff Mae Busch Their Cousin, Count Sergius Karamzin (Capt. 3d Hussars. lmper_ Russian Army) Erich Von 'trolo'im Maruschkn, a Maid Dale Fuller Pavel Paviieh, a Butler... Al. Edmunflsen Cuesare Ventucci, a Counterfeiter Caesaro Gravlna Marietta, his hulf wltted daughter Malvine Polo Dr. Judd and His Wife (the Couple from Home; Louis K*. Webb Mtfs. Kent Albert I, Prince of Monaco...r. .1. Allen Secretary of State of Monaco Edward Kelnach The acting honors or tills picture, which Is bathed in gold, go to Von Stroheim as Count Sergius, whose mission in life is to wreck the hearts of women and obtain money ns easily ns possible, and to Dale Fuller as Maruschkn, a maid in the count’s household, who is a victim to his lovemaking. She i3 such a devoted “animal" that she gives him her lifetime savings and on discovering him with another woman in the net of obtaining more money, she sets fire to tbe villa and then Jumps Into the ocean. Both of these characterizations are powerfully done, really wonderfully done, although you will hato Von Stroheim and his methods. The work of Maude George ns one of tlio “dear cousius" of the count, is well done. Miss Dupont gets along nicely ns the wife of American envoy to Monaco. She is the foolish wife of the title. The rafiroductlon of Monte Carlo and the gambling scenes are works of movie grandeur. I have never seen anything on the stage or screen to compare with the Monte Carlo scones in dnzzling beauty as well as striking architecture. If there wasn’t so much of the strutting male vampire to "Foolish Wives,” 1 would like the story much better, hut os a movie production it is one of the seven wonders (my version of the list) of the world. Von Stroheim reflects too much of the animal, but bis acting will hold you spellbound although you will get red-hot with anger at his tactics—but he meets his fate in the end. "Foolish Wives” Is a work of movie art, that there is no denying. The only sad feature is that the story is so full of the sex idea. In connection with the presentation of “Foolish Wives” at the Ohio this week, Miss George is appearing in person twice daily.—W. D. 11.

‘ TIIE CLOSED ROAD” IS \ OLI. -F A SIIIO NK D >1 ELODR AM A. “The Closed Road” at the Isis this week, featuring House Peters and Barbara Tenant, is a melo-dramatic affair of the typo seen on the screen ten years ago. The story concerns an idler who spends his times at cards and drinking. His physician tells him that ho lias only six more months to live because of a weak heart. Across the hall from his apartment lives a doctor and his sister. The doctor is accused of murder of one of his patients. Tiie sister in her fight to save her brother discovers the idler attempting suicide. She pleads with him to take her brother’s place, stating that her brother has nearly completed a cure for cancer and that humanity needs him. She points out that the idler is worth more alive than dead. The scheme works well and the Idler takes the place of the doctor behind the bars. The day of the electrocution comes and the warden serves coffee and sandwiches to guests assembled to see the pretty sight of a man meeting his death by an dearie current. (Beautiful thought as the cause for a tea party ) But of course the girl gets the Governor to save the life of the idler Just before the current Is turned on to amuse the guests. The "great” climax show i the idler and the girl having a love frolic during which he chases the girl around a room tilled with flowers.

WIGGLING AND WOBBLING BY PRES. HARDING Correspondent Sees Signs of Impending Republican Defeat. Editor Indiana Daily Times'—Let’s be done with wiggle and wobble. Let’s also have an end of “ncrmal<\.” But it appears that we are not to hear the last Os either very soon, nor to escape their evil effects. The other day when the “bonus” bill was being considered in the national House of Representatives, Representa--tive Longworth arose and very solemnly and emphatically stated that he had just come from an Interview with the President, and he felt very sure that Mr. Harding would sign the bill then under discussion, if it passed through Congress. Thereupon Representative Snyder arose and very earnestly and convincingly assured his fellow Representatives that he, too. had consulted the President and that he felt sure that the President would not sign such a bill. So it still wiggle-wobble, and so It has been from the beginning. All through the last campaign hardly any two men could understand Mr. Harding’s position alike. The people witnessed the amazing spectacle of men high up In the councils of the Republican party running up and down the country telling the voters to elect Harding and kill the League of Nations, while men Just as prominent and influential In the party, were assuring the voters that the only way to get the League of Nations was to elect Mr. Harding. It will be remembered by most people that at one stage of the campaign Senator William E. Borah became so disgusted with the policy of wiggle-wobble that he got off the stump and went home. By tbe way, it has been pretty clearly demonstrated that Mr. Borah was about the only honest one in the whole bunch, and I venture to say that be has, without doubt, been very sorry a good many times for the part be played in the election of Mr. Harding. 3 here has never been in tbe entire history of the Republic a campaign so ridiculous aud dishonest, conducted by any party, as that couilucted by the Republicans in 1920. Millions of men and women voted for Mr. Harding fully believing that he would put America Into the League of Nations, while other millions voted for him jU3t as sure that tie would not.

Mr. Harding wiggle-wobbled himself into the presidency by an enormous majority and now it seems that he will wiggle wobble himself out by about the same vote. We have the Boston Transcript, the ablest Republican pc per of New England, telling the I'resident very bluntly that he and Congress are leading the party to certain defeat and disaster,. Munsey’s New York Herald, the New York tribune, the Philadelphia Public Ledger and others are ail singing the name sad and mournful song. It Is significant that these papers are distressed because they see certain defeat coming to the Republican party, and that they do not seem to mind that their policy of wigglewnbble and vacillation has brought unparalleled disaster upon the country. They wiggle wobbled us out of our prosperity. They wiggle-wobbled six million men out of employment and sent them wobbling down the roads of this country, begging for bread. They wiggle wobbled soup houses and bread lines Into most of our cities and brought about such serious or.ndltlons that men in the United States actually fought for Jobs. They wiggle wobbled us out of our good reputation for business Integrity and high moral standing in the world and made of us the laughing stock of all creation, hated and despised >by civilized mankind everywhere. They wiggle-wobbled hundreds of thousands of our soldier boys into a condition where they were forced to beg for bread. Again, I snv, let’s be done with wigglewobble and vacillating demagogy and get back to the Woodrow Wilson brand of statesmanship and prosperity. We ore going to begin next November ty electing an overwhelming Democratic majority in the next national House of Representatives. . HARVEY Z. COLLINS. Huntington, Ind.

mother, but her father maintains that daughter should do the choosing. However, Inez decides that little question for herself and when a dashing young American arrives on the scene to defend her during one of her many escapades at a cock fight, it Is easy for the young lady in question to do the deciding herself. TJ>e young man, known ns Rush T4fffiupson, Is a secret service agent for the United States Revenue Department and Is in Cuba to run down liquor smugglers. When her father learns about Inez's escapades with the American, he ships her off to a cousin In the States. The cousin and father turn out to be the boor.e smugglers. The story moves at a lively pace and interest is maintained. There are several well-handled scenes, such as the burning boat rt sea. The east is satisfactory.

How Radio Set Can Change Damped Waves Into Words

BY R. L. DUNCAN. Director, Radio Institute of America. How are discontinuous or damped radio frequency currents generated In audio frequency groups by the charge and discharge of a condenser on a circuit using altercating current. Some means must be resorted to so that the audible response is obtained In the head phones of the receiving station. But how? By rectifying the alternating current. There are certain elements that have this property of being rectifiers. Among the crystallines, there are iron pyrites, silicon, carborundum, molybdenite aud galena which may be used. The last is considered most preferable. These elements, however, wilt rectify only signals originating from an alternating current. Although telephone communication has a direct source of supply, it Js so modulated by the microphone transmitter that we compare It to an alternating current for simplicity. The rectifier is connected in series with the telephone in the receiving circuit upon which the Incoming waves are impressed. And the incoming wave trains from the distant transmitting stations are caught by the receiving aerial. They go down the circuit to the detector that rectifies them. One half of the wave train is suppressed. They are then translated into a group of decayed direct current impulses which pass on through the phone headpiece In a wave. YVith the*telephone acting as translator, these dlscontinupus or damped waves are finally made audible by the rectification of the detector aud the tran% lation of the head phone.

Washington Briefs

WASHINGTON, April 10.—Washingtonians who know the uncompromising democracy of William Howard Taft smiled todaj over the personal attack to which the chief Justice of the United States yesterday was subjected by Senator George W. Norris, Republican, of Nebraska. Mr. Norris, discussing the Judiciary bill, carped at Mr. Taft's alleged fondness for social entertainments at which shoulders could be rubbed with the plutocratic. The chief justice is as plain and unassuming a man as Washington ever knew. One of tbe first edicts he laid down for himself when he succeded the late Edward Douglass White on the Supreme Court bench was the chief justice ought not to hold himself aloof from the ordinary human concerns of life. Mr. .Taft decided to be a ■’mixer." In February, when members of the American Bar Association were guests at a White House reception, the chief justice, eschewing bis privilege of using the big front door and occupying a place of vantage with other Supreme Court Justices, Joined the bar association “hot poilol” and entered the executive •mansion by the east front doors, through which the plain people throng on such occasions.

So far as Washington can check up, Ambassador Harvey's entertainment at dinner in London this week of Dr. Sthamer, •German ambassador to Great Britain, is the first direct hospitality extended to a German official by an American official of equal rank since the armistice. It may be Interpreted as a formal and final sigir that socially the status quo ante now is restored. Mr. Sthamer is a senator of Hamburg and a great authority on admiralty law. President Harding received the German charge d'affaires at the White House some weeks ago along witn other members of the diplomatic corps, but the German embassy set in Washington has not yet begun to figure regularly in the social calendar. Genera! Crowder's military attache at Havana is in? of the few full-blooded Hawaiians in the United States Army— MaJ. A. Lyman. Because he is a son of the soil over which LllluoUalanl once reigned, he has borne the nickname of “Queen” ever since he was graduated from West Point in 1005. He is a brilliant member of the engineer's corps. A younger brother, also a Hawaiian, was a member of tha YYest Point class of 191 L It developed in Washington today that Lieut. Col. Paul Ward Beck, who was shot in Oklohamo this week Under tragic circumstances, was once American military attache at Havana, where he made an eminent record, especially as an observer and reporter of political conditions. This week’s fifth anniversary of Woodrow Wilson's declaration of war on Germany Inspires the organizers of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation to announce that there has now been raised nearly $700,000 of the $1,000,000 endowment fund sought. The two largest individual contributors in the District of Columbia are said to be Republicans. One of the checks in hand, a moderate contribution, bears the name of a member of President Harding's Cabinet. Beautiful Lincoln Memorial, Washington's crowning archifcctural Joy, is to be dedicated on Memorial day. May 30. Detailed arrangements were undertaken this week at a meeting of the memorial commission, of which Chief Justice Taft is chairman, and Reprosfntative “Joe" Cannon a leading member. It is expected that I’resident Harding and Mr. Taft will be the principal speakers on nn occasion destined to be notable even in Washington's long record of ceremonial events.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY.

Suddenly there was a big bump, I guess the old woman who swept the cobwebs off the sky had also fallen asleep. At any rate, the basket was caught on a rainbow. Puss Junior awoke with a start. "Why, how did this happen?” he asked. “I must have fallen asleep,” replied the old woman. “You looked so comfortable all curled up that I Just closed my eyes for a moment. But I don’t see why the basket should have bumped into anything—it usually behaves very well." Puss Junior climbed out and ran along the rainbow. It was very beautiful and touched the earth at both ends. “I think I’ll slide down,” he said, and before the old woman could speak he had started. My! how fast he went. Just like the wind. It was lucky that the end of the bow happened to rest on a big haymow, for otherwise I shudder to think what would have become of Puss. There would have been nothing left of ( bim, but the tip of his tail and maybe a nail from one of his sturdy little toes. Something tfke the Kilkenny .pats in two or three stories ago, you remember. As soon as Puss picked himself up the Cow that .Tumped Over the Moon came over and said: “Well, that was a good slide! I must congratulate you!” "No better than your jump over the moon,” said Puss. “In fact, not nearly so good, for you had to Jump up and then come down." "Did you see me?” asked the Cow. “Os course. Don’t you remember the little cat who played on the fiddle? She and I ran over when you came down In tbe clover patch. It was long ago.” “So It was," said the Cow, “and pow I'm too stiff to Jump any more. I have rheumatism quite oadly.” “That's a shame,” said Puss, “for I remember as if It were only yesterday how gracefully you did It.” “The music helped a lot,” sighed the Cow. “That little cat played beautifully on the fiddle.” “And the dish ran away with the spoon and was never heard of." After that the Cow walked over to the meadow. Puss followed her and, strange as it-may seem, there was the little dog and the little cat with her fiddle, and the longlost dish and spoon. Then the moon came down quite low in the sky, and the little cat began to fiddle, and the little dog to laugh, and the dish to chase the spoon, but the Cow shook her head sadly and said: "I’m too old to try it again. But I will dance a little for you If the little cat will play,” which pleased everybody very much, showing she was very obliging, after all. In spite of her rheumatism.— Copyright, 1922.
