Horrors! What have they been wearing? The Pot Calls the Kettle Black As the primary draws to a close the real designs of the Republican leaders in Marion County, never successfully veiled from close scrutiny, stand publicly revealed in all their true light. The serious responsibility of selecting a nominee for United States Senator has been unfortunately relegated to the background save as one candidate or the other may serve as a vehicle through which local ambitions may be expressed, and the leaders are engaged in a struggle, the primary purpose of which is to determine which faction shill control Republican affairs in Marion County. In a vigorous attempt to stage a “come-back" the Lemcke-Jewett faction, so thoroughly defeated by Mayor Shank's nomination and election last year, Is parading under the banner of Senator Harry S. New. It is well organized and as usual has the support of the Indianapolis News. On the other side stands Mayor Shank, fighting under the guise of a passionate devotion for Albert J Beveridge, to maintain his position as titular head of the Republican rarty in Marion County. He, too, has the unreserved partisan support of a newspaper, the Indianapolis Star, which is springing to his defense daily. The enigma of the fight is William H- Armitage, the man who is credited in some quarters with having made Mayor Shank's come back possible. Mr. Armitage is head of an organization which is bending its efforts to make William H. Freeman, a member of the board of public works, Marion County chairman. Ostensibly, Mr. Armitage is devoting himself to the furtherance of the Beveridge cause at the behest of his chief, but concrete evidences of effort in this direction are unaccountably lacking. Rumor has it that a deal has been made whereby a policy of nonInterfererce was to be maintained toward him on the condition that he would lock after the New interests while occupying his present position. Whether this is Hue or not, of course, is not known, but the fact is that reference to the once denounced “Bill” Armitage no longer appears in the columns of the paper most devoted to the New cause. The Beveridge orators have issued warnings that corruption may be j expected in “thirty notoriously bad precincts,” and the New leaders counter by charging the Star made a deal whereby in return for its support of Mayor Shank he would throw his influences to Mr. Beveridge. The New people declared Mayor Shank has sought to intimidate the city hall employes into supporting Mr. Beveridge by threats of dismissal (which he carried Into execution in one or two instances) and the Beveridge workers reply by intimating that New once was nominated by a Marion County vote totally out of proportion to the country vote his opponent, James E. Watson, received, and insinuate the Marlon County tactics can be expected againThus it goes—largely a case of the pot calling the kettle black. If h. If I what the opposing chieftains have said about each other is true, Indiana, ! and especially Marion County, certainly needs anew political deal this fall.

The Merger Decision The Indiana public service commission has suffered perhaps the hardest blow of its existence in the decision of Judge Linn I). Hay of the Marion County Superior Court on a demurrer in the Indiana Electric Corporation case. The decision limits the power of the comm’ssion in two particulars. First, 't holds that the commission has no power to permit a utility to j operate it a city. Second, it holds that the commission cannot authorize dissimilar utilities or utilities in different localties to merge. The commission gave a great deal of time to this case and the two points on which the court ruled were two of the principal points at issue. A majority of the commission was firm in its stand on these points. There are now operating in Indiana utilities which have been merged under circumstances very' similar to those surrounding the electric merger. If Judge Hay’s decision stands such mergers will be impossible in the future. Undoubtedly, some of them would otherwise be attempted. While tht oecision, if it stands, will be a blow to the commission, it will probably mean death to the electric merger. It is almost inconceivable that the merger can be completed without the steps indicated as illegal by the court. With the public service commission limited to a strict interpretation of the law and with utilities invoking the power of the Federal Court, the commission may rapidly lose its place of importance in the State. It will become a court of original jurisdiction with a tacit understanding that a case will be carried higher if the decision of the commission is not satisfactory. The decision of the Superior Court and the action of utilities in going to the Federal Court for relief have done more to limit the power of the commission than years of agitation. Disturbing the Panama Canal It is hard to believe that President Harding was acting from his best sense of judgment when he passed an order upsetting the regime that for years has been working satisfactorily in the Panama Canal Zone. The commission which recommended to Harding the elimination of ihe perquisites previously granted to employes working on the Panama Canal, evidently thought the unsatisfactory climatic and working conditions not worth taking into consideration; but to the worker they are of great consequence, and it is doubtful if a staff of similar efficiency could readily be obtained to take the place of the present one, with the gratuities omitted. Governor Morrow of the Panama Canal Zone is deeply moved at Harding’s decision. He declared that “adoption of these recommendations at once and in toto would ruin the canal. We would soon have a halting, limping service, damage bills to an incalculable extent, a very considerable traffic loss, a wholesale desertion of highly expert employes, resulting in disorganized service that could never be restored even to a small fraction of its present efficiency; also, a valuable strategic asset would be almost totally destroyed. The net result would be an actual financial loss, as well as a great loss in national prestige." President Harding cannot afford to have the deterioration of the valuable Panama Canal on record as a result of his lack of foresight. Moores Off the Dry List Congressman Merrill Moores, Seventh district Representative in. Congress and up for the Republican renomination, has been singularly successful since his advent into Congress in never taking a definite stand upon any important public question, but for once his indecision has been settled for him by a group of women, who have taken a no certain stand upon a very grave problem. Mr. Moores, it is said, has fouDd he could not stand for the Volstead law and as a result he has been left off of the list of candidates indorsed by the Marion County Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Os course Mr. Moores has made no public acknowledgment of his suspected change of heart in regard to the liquor question, but it is presumed the women's action was based upon investigation and the fact that he had wTitten to one of their number that he no longer entertained an affinity for the dry act Now' Mr. Moores finds himself, on the eve of an important primary election, left off of the “dry” list and classed w r ith thosd who favor the destruction or modification of the .’quor enforcement statutes. If Mr. Moores favors the “wets," as it seems, he should speak out. If he has been wronged by bemg accorded that classification he should be equally canuld and say so. The public is entitled to know, his true sentiments. i I

FACTS CONCERNING GRIFFITH'S LATEST MOVIE. Herewith are giTen Just a few of the outstanding facts about P. W. Griffith's newest motion picture, "Orphans of the Storm,” a United Artists Corporation release. which is coming next Sunday to the Ohio Theater, for a limited engage ment. A perusai of these facts and figures will give a fairly accurate idea of the magnitude of the picture, hut the real magnificence and tremendously Dig aspects of thig Griffith dramatic epic must be seen properly to be appreciated. These facts will help a little to prepare the public for what they are going to see: "Orphans of the Storm," is Rn adapta tion of that famous old stage classic "The Two Orphans." It was given the title ‘‘Orphans of the Storm" In order to avoid confusion whtt three other pictures called “The Two Orphans," and widely advertised. It is more than "a million dollar" picture, but Mr. Griffith does not consider that of important; results obtained are the important matters in his mind. Nearly twelve months were occupied in working up to, making and finishing the

picture, from the first steps to the finisbiiii' touches. Sir months were spent in the actual making. Eighteen months were spent in period study and research work In order faithfully to reproduce the scenes, styles and customs of the time. Every scene, large or small, was personally directed by Mr Griffith. Twenty sir tons of properties were imported from France that the dress and scenes might be faithful to history. Each scene was photographed from three to ten times. The Misses Lillian and Dorothy Gish appear together for the first time since "Hearts ’ the World," also a Griffith feature. Joseph Srhlldkrnut. known as the “handsomest man," makes his first film appearance. The wigs for the production cast more than the entire outlny for the first flvere' l picture Mr Griffith made. The stage play, “The Two Orphans." first presented In America at the Unite Square Theater In December. 1871, was played 7,000 times by Kate Olarton It has been played more than ino.ooo times in the United States.
