THE AUTHORITIES are beginning to realize that Garden Point is a rendezvous for “hip-pocket" parties. Evidently they now can see a Point that has been apparent for sometime. The Speedway and Memorial Day Indianapolis divided its attention today. Part of the population — unqestionably the greater part—either went to the Speedway, the cynosure of the eyes of motordozn the world over, or attuned their ears to catch the earliest news from the track, while the others paid their respects to the revered dead who once wore their country's uniform. Out in the cemeteries clustered about Indianapolis little groups of men and women tenderly placed wreaths upon the graves of those who once followed the Stars and Stripes into battle and into camp. The gray-haired veterans of ’6l were augmented by the still stalwart sons of ’l7 as the loud, sweet call of taps sounded over the graves. Out at the Speedway motor history was being written as the topmost in automobile construction flashed around the course, cheered by the hundreds of thousands of spectators from all corners of tne world. The huge grandstands filled with spectators, the perfection of the contesting cars and the intense interest in the affair manifested by the whole world was a scene to make a Hoosier’s breast swell with pride and Indianapolis indeed is proud of its Motor Speedway. But it is also proud of Its veteran soldiers, living and dead. On this day. set apart as the day on which tribute is paid t> the dead of all wars, our attentions are distracted. It would be far better, we believe, to observe Memorial Day as it was originally intended to be observed, and to change the annual Speedway date to a time when undivided attention can be directed toward it. Roads You Would Like If you drive a car, you'll be interested in this; When the Government finishes up the roads it is helping build, the country will have a network of 180,000 miles of surfaced main highways, connecting Atlantic and Pacific coasts and our northern and southern borders. To travel over that much road, you’d iave to drive your car thirty miles an hour, twenty-four hours a day, for 250 days. Road projects under way in 1921 amounted to nearly 65,000 miles —about eleven times across the continent and back. During the year Uncle Sam and the States built 11,930 miles of Federal-aid highways. We are developing a great civilization here in America, for road building is in all centuries the measure of progress. The speed with which, Compared with former civilizations, we have flung a network of good roads through our -wilderness and mountains and across our plains, is little short of amazing. The first State road-building program was started only 101 years ago in Kentucky, when Abraham Lincoln was a ! boy of twelve. Traffic on wheels originated in China and Egypt, where carts were first invented. Those first carts moved an wheels and axles carved out of one solid piece of stone. It took centuries for man to conceive of the axle being separate from the wheels. The old Romans, master road builders, had twenty-nine paved highways out of Rome. Over pavements of bricks and mineral cement they drove their lumbering chariots with ironed-rimmad wheels. Joy-riders of those days lounged in reed-work baskets mounted on solid wheels about a foot thick. Think of that when riding In a flivver seems btimpy. Man’s battle for good roads has been going on for thousands of years, ever since prehistoric mac cleared a path through the jungles. It may be that the roads of the future will be* in the air, with flying ma- , chines carrying passengers and freight. That, however, is bound to be a long way off. It is good to dream about But, meantime, let’s keep our feet on the ground and get behind the good roads movement stronger than ever. Prosperity and recreation come slowly over bad roads.

The Democratic Opportunity It is to be hoped that the sane, constructive judgment of the Democratic party will prevail when the platform is molded Wednesday night and that .such radical suggestions as the repeal of the primary law, the public service commission law and the State highway commission law will find no place in the principles the party will espouse in coming election. Possibly these laws, which have proven obnoxious to certain interests, could stand modification, but such changes as are advised should be the result of careful and studied investigation and not simply the desire to please or catch an element that leans to radicalism. The Goodrich tax law, which has proven distasteful both in its administration and its application to practically every taxpayer in the State and which has just been O. K.’d by a Republican convention, should give the Democratic platform framers food for thought If they can suggest a way in which taxes can to levied Justly, on the rich and poor alike, and which will bring the revenue required to operate the public business as it should be operated they will have performed a real service. The Republican platform carpenters were not blind to the major fault of the tax law—the centralized control over purely local affairs but the proper ambition of a Governor not to have his administration repudiated by his own party, caused them to drop what would have been a very attractive stand. The- Democrats will do well to take advantage of that Republican blunder, not alone from the strategic position it will place the party in as far as votes are concerned, but also because it will answer the cry of thousands of people who have been made to feel the unjustness of the present statute. To Insure Future Forests Lovers of forests learn with delight that Charles C. Deam, State forester under the State department of conservation, started the inspection . of woodlands of Indiana for the purpose of encouraging private forestry and to prevent further clearing of the State’s forest lands. Farmers of Indiana have not fully appreciated the value of forests in their desire to clear the ground for planting, because cleared land is re- . garded more va’uable from a financial standpoint. Hence trees have heretofore been considered more detrimental tb in desirable. The law passed by the last Legislature tc assess land classified as forest land at only one dollar per acre has hfeen a step toward encouraging fanners to preserve what woods they have left and to plant any rough ground they possess with young trees, which the State conservation department will sell at low prices to woodland owners. Farmers who are using all their ground for growing grain and have no rough land to plant in trees, can at least plant them in rows on the border of their fields and along the roads, t.rus providing shade for cattle and making beautiful shady roads for trave.ing. Indiana has few roads which are bordered for long distances with lovely tree&tsuch as are common in France. * The French learned long ago the importance of preserving trees. The peasants do not cut down the entire tree when desiring wood for fuel, hut cut out only the limbs. This leaves the sturdy trunk to send forth numerous branches again, producing a constant supply of fuel. Mr. Deam gives some very interesting reasons why forests should be ,crese*aed.

BOWKER PLAYS A COMEDY PART ON A WHISTLE Special Holiday Bills on View at Local Vaudeville Houses

Nero may have* played a harp so he could enjoy the burning of Rome the more, but it remained for Aldrich Bowker to blow • whistle to make us moderns laugh at the Murat this week. Funny It 18 how a gifted man can bmese in on the stage in a email part and by his work make the very part overshadow everything else. Tha's just what Aldrich Bowker Is doing at the Murat this week, where ftuart Walker Is presenting Rida Johnson Young's little comedy, “Captain Kidd, Jr.” Bowker is cast as a country constable who relies upon his tin badge and a toy whistle to enforce law and order. As usual, the constable always is In wrong. He blows his ifeistle at the right time but for the wroerg purpose. We have seen Mr. Bowker in many roles. Last week he was Stephen Hardy, the money-loving farmer, in “The Detour.’’ This week he is a merry constable with a whistle and a star In “Captain Kidd, Jr.” It remains a mystery to me how Bow ker can jump out of the clothes of Stephen Hardy and put on the comedy garb of a rural constable, but he does it with wonderful success. If you are fond of the springtime and you love to see lovers love and quarrel, and If you enjoy romance and buried treasure' hunts, your old heart will go pltty-pat with Joy In witnessing this light but clever little play. It Is as light as cotton, but In the hands of the Walker company It Is refreshing entertainment. The public didn’t care for “The Acquittal.” which was splendidly acted, and we passed up to a great extent the acting treat of the season, ’ The Detour.” Maybe we will take enough interest In ‘Captain Kidd. Jr., to turn out in sufficient numbers to give Mr. Walker the required vote of confidence. The big thing this week at the Muiat ia the cast. We have Walter Boulter, a finished, actor, in n character par*-, that of Andrew a second-hand book dealer. His makeup is excellent and the pathos and feeling expressed in the last act reaches the heart of understanding. Hu acting is even and sincere during the entire play. And how Judith Lowry has changed from last week. She appears twenty years younger

(that Is some concession) she did last week. She has a comedy role now and as usual she has given it the genuine Lowry touch. France Bendtsen as William Carleton, a character which is such a nice - person he won’t say'a naughty cuss word until right at the end of the play, when he becomes a real fellow, registers the real acting triumph in the play. His work is polished. It takes real artistry to play a role of the type of William Carleton. Gosh, how I hate the treed to which William Carleton belongs. He Is funny because of the work of Mr. Bendtsen. .The entire cast is as follows: Expressman Leslie Fenton Andrew McTavish ...Walter Poulter Mary Mary Ellis Jim Anderson Donald Macdonald George Brent George Somues

And there are plenty of laughs for everybody on this week’s bill at Keith's. George McKay and Ottle Ardlne, late of "Broadway Brevities” and other shows, are the chief fnnraakers on the bill. They will keep one amused with their burlesque Imitations. McKay knows what the people want and he gives it to them. The Miami Lucky Seven are a part of Indianapolis and have a lurge following. They are tulented, have a pleasing way about them and they offer a well balanced progrnm. “Kalua” and “Tenson' ” were their best numbers Douglas and Leary are two clever men who play the piano and sing harmony songs.

STINNES HAS CONTROL OF NEWSPAPERS RY MILTON BRONNER. BERLIN, May 30.—1 u London clubs they love to tell the story of the man who boasted he read lots of newspapers ke could have all and shades of jggjpw * before making ' fl up h,s mind on Iquestions. AskejJ what he read, he reMail and the hustling News iD ( the ay8 ‘ I rea< * thC breCZy a||3l| statements with shouts Bronner. them enlightened him by explaining that all those papers belonged to Lord Northcliffe and expressed his policies. There are many who say that Hugo Stinues, Germany's business king, is the German Xorthcliffe, only more so. They will tell you the time is rapidly approaching when it will bo difficult to know whether one Is reading an independent opinion or a Stinnes opinion. CONTROLS NEWSPAPERS. People ordinarily well informed variously estimate Stinnes owns twelve papers, forty papers, even 120 papers in Germany and still others la Austria. They bewail the growing loss of free newspaper comment in Germany. Labor leaders tell me Germany, since 1870, has always in this regard been worse off than almost any big nation in the world. Bismarck had his press which told the public what he wanted it to believe and fought the causes and statesmen Bismarck hated or feared. With the tremendous expansion of Germany as a business nation, labor leaders make the flat assertion that coal, iron and steel Interests openly or secretly secured control of many of the big influential newspaper of Germany. Their object was to support political parties and loaders who would give them the kind of laws and tariffs best suited to their Interests. People who know Stinnes well tell me the ability to mold public opinion through ownership of newspapers was probably only a secondary thought with him. For Stinnes. business is always business. He is a practical man. He came into the publishing game first of all because ho owns coal mines. The bridge from coal iniues to newspapers la made of wood. In his coal mines Stinnes needed great quantities of wood for shoring up scatns and for many other kinds of construction in the pits. To assure himself a steady, ample supply of cheap wood, he bought groat forest tracts in East Prussia and Finland. Then his restless brain got busy again. He had the timber and he had tho coal. Why not *hlp the coal to where the timber stood and manufacture valuable wood products—-cellulose, paper pulp and paper? So one fine day Germany learned that loads of Stinnes coal were going across Germany to East Prussia, where, in Stinnes mills, trees were converted Into Stinnes paper and pulp. Later he bought a big concern in Koenigsburg and another In North Germany. In his own neighborhood of Westphalin there was a mill which manufactured fine not* paper, so he bought ihat. too. BUY'S THREE BERLIN PAPERS.

Then it struck Stinnes it would be a grand idea to manufacture Stinees paper Into Stinnes newspapers. So in quick succession he bought three Berlin journals. His first investment was the “Industrie and Handleszeitung,” which, as its name indicates, is a business paper. It. was the best in Germany and eo an important acquisition for a business king. His next purchase was the smaller "Deutsche Warte.” His third acquisition was the most significant of all. He bought the “Deutsche Allgemmeine Zeitung,” the paper which iu the old days of the monarchy was the semi-official organ of the Government. What it said represented what the rulers Wanted known. Its readers are still very largely the onee-upon-a-time official classes who are true to the royalist cause and hope for an ultimate restoration of the Hohenzollerns. STINNES SVrrORTS PEOPLE’S PARTY. Stinnes belongs to the German People’s party. In fact, he Is Its chief financial barker. He fills its campaign chest when an election is fought. And the right wing of the party is largely royalist. Germans who belong to the democratic parties which believe in republican institutions tell you Stinnes himself at heart is a monarchist. However, that may ''e, he is too shrewd a business man to come out in the open for the king business so long as tbs republican wave lqsts in Germany and so long as open espousal of royalty would throw him into conflict with fits workmen. The fact is tha Deutsche Ailgemeine Zeitung certainly watches its step. It confines itself largely to giving the news. If the news is colored :o suit the interests of Stinnes, it is very cleverly done. In a time whon German papers are almost n small as those of Frame be-

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which mode heaven and earth.—Psalm 121:1. Not until a man has laid bold upon the absolute assurance that the right ia right and that the God of righteousness will give His strength to the feeblest will dn all the universe which tries to do right, has a man summoned to his aid the final perfect help.—Phillips Brooks. cause of the high cost of things, this great Stinnes sheet gives abundant proof of the full money coffers in back of it. It is the largest paper in Berlin and it spends much money on special telegraphic service in a period when the rate of foreign exchange against Germany makes their actual weight in gold. I have been told that Stinnes owns at least one important paper In almost every considerable city of Germany and that only recently he cloeed a deal for tw oln Leipsic. Whenever such assertions appear In the German press, they are immediately denied by the Deutscb Allgememe Zettuny. This paper persists in saying that Stinnes owns only the three I have mentioned. Stinnes’ secretary earnestly told me the same thing. To -which other Germans reply that the ownership of the many other papers may not be in Stinnes name. But they say he controls them Just tbo same. Sometimes they say a bank or a coal mining company or a big mill controls the paper. And Stinnes controls the bank or the mill or the mine. IN AUSTRIAN JOURNALISM. He has also become an Important factor in Austrian journalism, where only recently it was reported he had purchased the Elbe paper mills. This concern not only had three paper mills but four Vienna newspapers— the Extrablatt, the Mittags Zeitung, the Winer Allgemelae Zeitung and the Sonn and Montags Zeitung. The Extrablatt ia an illustrated paper with a large circulation and the Ailgemeine Zeitung Is a leading Bourse organ. So in Austria as in Germany, Stinnes now controls a leading business newspaper. When a man owns a string of newspapers, it is natural that he should think about the sources of their news. In other words, he becomes Interested in the press associations that supply news by telegraph. The first in which Stinnes' invested money was the well known Dammert bureau, which had three separate serylces: One for papers which support the German People’s party; ona for the papers which support the Democratic rarty. and lastly a service for papers Tree from political leanings. This bureau has now been merged with tho Telegraph Union, in which Stinnes is also said to have invested money. KING OF INK AND PAPER.

Having tbs wood and the coal and the paper and the newspapers, Stinnes has gone almost as far as it is possible in the newspaper business. But there are other outlets for print paper. There is, ! for instance, the book and pamphlet trade and also the general printing of leaflets, circulars, catalogues, bill heads, etc. So Stinnes formed anew concern under his own name and also bought two famous and old established companies—tha North German Book and Printing Company and the powerful Buxenstein Press, which itself controls a number of subj ordinate concerns. : The eminenceattained by Stinnes is ! obvious. No man in Germany is in such . a strategic position in influence public ! opinion upon corporation laws, taxation, tariff and other matters that Interest big business. If he wants to he can concentrate a weight of printed matter—, newspapers, pamphlets, books, magazines —such as never before has been at the disposal of one man in Germany. It's no wonder that in newspaper circles they now call him the King of Ink and Paper.—Copyright, 1322, NEA Service. Inc.) VIRTUOUS AMERICANS.
