CIRCUS horses will soon be In cages like other strange animals. EDISON has put out another list of questions, but what the world needs is more answers. THIRTY Senators oppose the bonus and thirty are up for re-election. They are not the same thirty. TEN Chicago women have been indicted for election frauds. Who said they couldn't learn politics. ONLY 20 cents per person is spent tor soap each year, it has been found. Saturday night is going to the dogs. A CHICAGO attorney has retired after getting a $2 1 5,000 fee. A lot of other people would quit work, also, if that lucky. MAYBE they won't need that ship subsidy, now that it has been advertised that United States shipping board vessels sell liquor. MAYBE when Max Oser hears about his prospective father-in-law's operation he'll want one, too, for they are about the same age. IT COST Chief Rlkhoff $615.98 to discover that one of his policewomen was not working. He’ll probably scrutinize tlie rolls more carefully after this. AUTOISTS who cuss the traffic jam in Indianapolis should ease up a little. Lawrence V. Sheridan of the City Plan Commission says our streets are laid out better than any Eastern city he has visited. AMERICAN “moonshine” whisky is quoted at 30 cents a drink on the wine list of shipping board vessels. Mr. Lasker might enlighten some of the thirsty landlubbers what “moonshiner” he is patroGive Them Playgrounds Mayor Shank, alarmed at the increasing number of accidents befalling children in the streets, has offered $5 as a prize for a slogan that will keep youngsters out of the paths of traffic and teach them to be more careful. The mayor is actuated by a proper motive, but his method is not sound. A prize of $5 or a prize of $5,000 would not bring forth a slogan that would keep children off of the streets. Youngsters, full of energy, must have some place to give vent to their youthful spirits, and if there is no playground nearby or a vacant lot or a spacious hack yard, they are going into the streets in spite of all the admonitions uttered by municipal authorities. The mayor generally will be upheld in his desire to prevent these deplorable ac'cidents and he, as head of the city government, is displaying a proper interest in the problem. But warnings, pleadings, slogans and policemen will not free the streets of potential victims. The only way that can be done is to provide them with some place to play, and that, of course, should be the primary interest of the city officials. Razors —and Common Sense The Senate the other day approved tariff rates on razors amounting to 400 per cent ad valorem. That Is, the reader who buys a razor after the new tariff goes into effect must buy an American-made razor, no matter what combination boosts the price, or he must buy a foreign-made razor which has paid for getting into the country a tariff of four times what it is worth. And why? Senator MeCumber told the Senate why. It is because German razors are coming in. They are sold cheap. They are to be used, he said, by many American stores as “premiums.” The senator said that they not only can not be used for shaving, but they are bo poor that they “w ill not cut a corn.” And the Republican calls this “foreign competition!” Such utensils are not razors. They will not displace a single good American razor. They are no more razors than chalk and water is milk or sand sugar. The maker of good goods needs no protection against such stuff as this. And Senator MeCumber knows it. When he advocates any such iniquitous tariff as 400 per cent ad valorem he has a better reason than the German putty razors. But it is some reason which he does not mention. What he is trying to do is to give American manufacturers carte blanche to plunder the people. The reason he has may be politically corrupt, but the reason he gives is just plain asinine.

The Gospel of the Old Guard Asa member of the Cabinet and one of the recognized leaders of his party. Secretary of War Weeks may fairly be considered an authority on political policy of the administration. And even though he announced in his address to the graduating class at Western Reserve College, Cleveland, that he was speaking as a private citizen, what he said will give the public a line on what is going on in the best minds with which his own is in daily contact and intimate touch. It is evident, from Secretary Weeks’ utterances, that the influences now controlling our government do not believe in actual democracy in government. They do not believe it possible for the people to govern themselves. They regard the initiative, referendum and recall—and even the direct nomination by the people of their public servants—as dangerous tendencies toward complete social democracy. "I am greatly disturbed,” says Secretary Weeks, “by the departure in recent years from the government of the Constitution, as I construe it, to other forms of government which have a decided tendency toward complete social democracy.” With this as a starter, the Secretary of War takes a stand for what he calls representative government, and before he gets through he makes that mean government by a party to whose decrees all its members v. ho happen to be public officials must bow in submission. Republicans in Congress who insist on doing their own thinking, or in representing the will of their constituents rather than the dictates of their party organization, are raked over the coals. The implication is that th*-y are enemies of good government. While the learned Cabinet member doesn’t mention the primary elections in Indiana, Pennsylvania and lowa, they must be among the recent events which have filled Weeks with alarm at the possibility of actual democratic government for his attack on primary elections is direct and emphatic. He even says that “the average citizen is so engrossed in his private affairs that he has neither the time nor frequently the capacity to pass on matters of governmental policy on the qualification of candidates presented for his suffrage.” And then he adds: “I now make the assertion that the direct primary, more than any other cause, has resulted in the modern tendency of government toward social democracy,” and demands its repeal. That’s the burden of the Weeks speech. It is the gospel of the hard boiled. The disposition of free-minded citizens, including the women, to pick the kind of public servants they want must be checked. They must put on their party togs, march up to the polls and vote for candidates hand picked by political bosses. They must join one party or the other and then quit thinking. For if they don’t, even the grand old party may turn the old guard out of power and follow such leaders as Beveridge, Pincliot and Brookhart. But the bosses will have a tough time of it making the folks back home believe that their country w ill go ta the dogs unless they let the old guard of the old run It. It isn’Mthat kind of a country.

VERA GORDON ENTITLED TO PLACE IN HALL OF FAME The Eternal Triangle Receives New Treatment in ‘Grand Larceny 1

It is not the Mg things which Miss Gordon is called upon to do in a photoplay which counts, but it Is the little heart emotions which makes her supreme. This is shown in the scene where her son, Izzy, puts on his first pair of long trousers. She looks at him with pride, and then she realizes that her “boy is no longer a boy.” She goes into his room and picks up his short pants from the floor. She presses them to her treast, and then drops them to the floor as she bursts into tears. Again we bave Miss Gordon at her best when she attempts to persuade her husband to move to New York in order to give her son and daughter a social chance. Much space has been given to these scenes of persuasion, and thty are magnificently portrayed in all of their domestic reality. When Vera Gordon as the wife, cooks ; supper for "papa” and the children, she, cooks n real meal. While sealed in the Apollo viewing this picture, I had the I

hunch that I could enliale the “perfume” of that meal. I either have a splendid imagination or the picture is 100 per cent realistic. Let mo asy a word in praise of Dore Davidson who plays the role of Julius. Here is the real screen father. He doesn’t have to act because he is the father every minute he is on the screen. He reflects the tragedy; of sacrifice that every father is called upon to make in booing the provider for a family. Here is truly great work. The story is just a simple recital < fa family in a small town. The son and daughter feel that they will “Just die” if they do not get out of “the old berg.” And so papa and mother are trotted off to New York to live in a hotel. The sham and falseness of tills kind of life soon causes a revolt on tho part of papa. Who wants cabaret mixed up with his meals when "papa” happens to be over fifty? Wife’s cooking is good I enough for him. : And that is the simple little story cnI acted in ‘ The Good Provider." it is j helped out by some funny sub titles.

D. 11. -!- -!- -!- i THE BARRICADE IS A HUMAN STORY, Possibly you have seen someone in your neighborhood who was the right sort of a man, well liked and then suddenly Old Man Good Luck comes along and pushes him into fame and fort une. Then in a short time this well liked person forgets all about his old i and becomes even ashamed of his own People. That's the story of “The Barricade," the current attraction at Loew’s State this week. In this story shame breaks down the barricade and the man returns to his own people, in returning, lie shows the

way for his “purse-p'oud” society wife to come to his own people. The story concerns a young Irish lad who is reared by a Hebrew philospher, who loves him as his own son. The lad is educated after the Hebrew makes many sacrifices so his ward may become a physician. The young physician has an office on the east side caring for the poor, but is dissatisfied because his big chance doesn’t come. Finally, luck comes along in the form of a wealthy society girl who becomes infatuated with him. They are married and he moves his office down town and becomes prosperous. His new social position prohibits him from seeing any of his old friends and when the old Hebrew comes to see him, several society women who are in his office, learn of the doctor's humble origin and hasten to spread the “scandal.” The doctor learns that his benefactor, the old Hebrew, is in destitute circumstances. His better-self breaks down the barricade and he returns to help his old friend. Later his society wife comes down to earth, seeks her husband and begs him to be taken into the hearts of the Hebrew family. It is a human little story and is well acted by the following cast: Jacob Solomon William H.

REPORT SHOWS HEALTH WORK DURING YEAR County Nurses Indicate Results of Examining 7,742 School Children. In a report filed today with the Marion County commissioners and the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, Miss Hope Fuller and Miss Emma Lelss, county health nurses, gave a summary or work among children in the county schools that has been accomplished during the past year. A total of 7,712 children were examined for physical dereets during the twelve months' period and 21S visits to schools ! were made. The nurses sent 2.5C7 notices I about defects found In children to the ] children's parents, and in many in- • Stances these notices were responsible for the parents immediately having the de- i feeets corrected and the child again put J on the road to health. A total of 2,631 | children were found to have defective teeth and efforts made to secure proper : dental cure. Os 1.739 children with diseased and enlarged tonsils, hundreds were put under treatment. More than 800 children .were weighed and measured. Os this total only 41 per cent were recorded normal. Many children were tak- n to hospitals hy the nurses for operations and care. Some progress was made, the report said, in spreading information regarding the practice of having annual or semi annua'. examinations of children by physicians called for such purpose bv the par ents. Examples of how the county nurses were enabled to lend assistance to poor famines through calling the attention of otherVellcf agencies to such cases were set out in the report. The expenses of one of the county nurses are paid entirely by the local Tuberculosis Association an.l tbe other paid by the county commissioners. In tbe report much space is given to a discussion of tho opportunities for scientific, nutritional caro of underweight children. The report says: “Tbe few cases mentioned represent only a very small percentage of the cases found, and the work accomplished Is only a small amount when compared to the extent of the territory covered. With more nurses In the county, making the district of each smaller, nil cases requiring attention con id, be cared for.” Former Local Woman to Be Buried Today Ward has been received in Indianapolis of the death of Mrs. Judith Fowler llezard McTernan, 79, wife of I>r.

—— “ | Washington Briefs WASHINGTON, June 19.—Senator Reed. | Smoot of Utah, is looking around for j 70,000 square feet of floor space to house I some 1,200 employes to administer the ! soldiers’ bonus. While the measure has not as yet run Its full legislative course. Senators anticipate it will become a law sooner or later. As chairman of tho public buildings commission, Mr. Smoot has been asked to look into the problem of bousing an administrative force. It Is generally agreed the administration of the prospective adjusted compensation act—the official designation of the sol- | diers’ bonus bill—will add a great exI pense to tbe cost of the Federal Govern- | ruent. j j For the first time since last winter. . j when he spoke in self defense against es- \ | forts to unseat him. Senator Truman H. j Newberry of Michigan today entered | actively in Senate debate. His remarks i related to the naval appropriation bill 1 j whose consideration was begun after the j tariff bill had been laid aside temporari ily. The Michigan Senator rates as on i authority on naval affairs. A graduate j of Yale in the class of 1885 he was As- i sistant Secretary of the Navy from October, 1915, to November, 190s. From j then until March. 1909, he was Secretary! !of the Navy. In addition to .serving as a : lieutenant (junior grade) in the Spanish- j American War. Mr. Newberry served as a j lieutenant commander during the World War. Mention of Senator Newberry calls to mind the embarrassment which might j result from his probable selection as ! one of the Senate conferences to recon- j cile differences with the House on the 1 . naval bill. The chairman of the House i Conference Committee will tie none other . ; titan Representative Patrick H. Kelley, ; ! who is opposing renoiniuation of Senator j Newberry in Michigan. One of Mr. Kel- ; j ley's chief campaign issues is the seat- j j lng of his rival by the Senate in tbe i face of admitted expenditures, and he; I promises to reopen the whole question jif nominated and elected. It would be j interesting to gain admission to the ex- | eciitive sessions of the conference Cham- • her to observe the elaborate courtesies, j or lack of them, exchanged by the two men. The “ladies of the Senate,” as the body : :of senatorial wives who meet socially f.• r lunches and sewing bees is styled, i ; have awarded the palm as the most I absent-minded husband in the Senate to j Morris Sheppard of Texas. Mrs. Shep- | j yard, one' of the most attractive of the senatorial matrons, has told the story i i of the sponsor of the prohibition amend- ■ raent to the constitution. The Senator asked his wife to call for him in their automobile. She said she might have | difficulty finding someone to care for the youngest of the husky young Shep- I l pards. She was unable to do so, and ! ' drove to the Capitol with the infant. I : who was turned over to the Senator to hold -flaring the trip home. About half . way from the Capitol to the S street j ' residence, the Senator emerged from i meditation on senatorial business, but, ; wholly forgetful of the youngster on ; I liis knee, inquired; “Who did you find ' to take care of the baby?” Mrs. Shep j | pard s astonishment would have been just j cause for a less experienced chauffeur ; to strike the nearest tree, but her senße ;of humor saved her and she replied.: | “Why, you, of course; you are holding! j the baby.”

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY Through Thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.—Psalm 119:104.
