All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.-—Emerson. THE LEGISLATURE ENDS [•rSIHE Legislature adjourns tonight, much to the relief of 1 I 1 everybody concerned. It has not been a particularly disastrous session, despite the apprehension with which it was ushered in two months ago. The session just closing is more noted for what it has not done than for what it has done. It has not reorganized the State government. It has not cut taxes, but rather has increased them. It has not passed any unenforceable “blue laws.” It has not tampered to any great extent with free speech and the freedom of religious worship. It has added another cent to the gasoline tax, a burden which motorists seem to have been willing to accept. It has strengthened the automobile laws, especially that sectipn applying to motorists who fail to stop after an accident. It h.is rewritten the prohibition law as professional prohibitionists seem to have wanted it rewritten. It has investigated things in general with the usual lack of results. It has passed an appropriation bill which, like every appropriation bill, is larger than the one before. Except for "The flare-up over the Penrod gerrymander bill, resulting in the Senate “strike,” and the present quarrel over the higb' ay department, it has been an uneventful session. So far as the spectacular is concerned, with the exception of the “strike,” it has been the tamest of years. The Republican party has had absolute control oyer the Legislature. Its achievements and failures have been Republican achievements and failures. There is no divided party responsibility. Now that it is all over the work of the Assembly can be described in a very few words: It might have been worse. MITCHELL’S DEMOTION |rp |HE demotion of Brigadier General Mitchell, assistant, chief I 1 1 of the Army Ai" Service, was discounted weeks ago. IJut we cannot pass the event bv without a word of regret that this had to be. That the Army and Navy need a bang-up air service cannot be gainsaid and, had Mitchell not overplayed his hand; had he not gone out of his way to create an impossible disciplinary situation inside our armea forces; had he not needlessly exaggerated aircraft conditions which, in all conscience, Are bad enough as they are, his influence would have been greater and he might still be wearing the lone star of a instead of the silver of a colowd. We want no gag-rule in the Army or Navy. Every officer must be free to speak his mind. This is essential to progress. But no man can publicly tell his boss that said boss is incom-petent—-particularly in a service where discipline is of the essence—without one or the-other having so go. So Mitphell passes “IT NEVER CAN FORGET” I p IERHAPS it is just r well ihat Vice President Dffwes and I the United States Senate patch up their quarrel, arising out of the vice presidential outburst on inauguration day. Tuc Senate has absolutely no control whatever over the Vice President, who happens to be its presiding officer, and the Vice President has just about the same control over the Senate. The fortunes of politics threw them together and to be reconciled to the inescapable is just common sense. A dog may bey at the moon and the man in the moon may make faces at the dog, but neither gets anywhere with it. But don’t be deceived. The Senate is thoroughly riled. It may forgive, like the person in the immortal bailad, but “it •Over can forget.” Witness, fop example, Senator Jim Reed’s playful reference to a “jackass” who had undertaken to set lie will and his opipion against those of the Senate, explaining that the object of his remark was: *“ ... An J.ndia-rubber Injun on a spree Who didn't give a damn Xor anything parllamentar-ee . . . .*“ Which illustrates the main thing the Senate hblds against Dawes. They can forgive him for the untimeliness of his bawling them out before the formally dresped-up world-and-his-wife —for that doesn’t seem to have impressed many of them—but his suggestion of changes in “anything parliamentar-ee ” brought permanent goose-flesh to that dignified body. A truce, but that’s all.

KNOXVILLE, WITH MANAGER, WELL GOVERNED CITY

Tennessee City Refunds Part of Tax Money Under New System. By EDWARD J. MEKMAN. Editor the Knoxville News. NOXVILLE is one of the beet governed, df not the best governed city in America, today because its government embodies two principles. 1. A city council composed of men drafted by a nonpartisan committee oi citizens, representative of business, labor, the professions and women. They are citizens who would not seek office and would not be willing to hold office except under a plan which relieves them of administrative cares and makes them responsible only for el loosing tlie policies of the government and tbe selection of the chief administrator who is to carry them out. 2. A city manager who is given an absolutely free hand by the city council in the appointment of ail his helpers and who bears full responsibility for the administration of city affairs. One of these principles is the corollary of the other. A nonpolitical city council cannot succeed without a city manager, hlg both in character and ability, to shoulder the burden of administration which such nonpoiltical councilman have neither the time nor the disposition to bear. Manager Must Manage A city manager cannot succeed—cannot even begin to function —unless he has back of him a city council which understands that, although they are free to Are the city manager at any time, they are at no time free to meddle In any way In administrative afflalni. These two principles have been strictly observed In Knoxville, and to that feet is'due the wonderful transformation that has occurred in city 1 government since Oct. 1, 1923, and. Indirectly, In the civic life of the whole people. It is my opinion that the principles which have brought this excellent city government to Knoxville are applicable to any city, large or small. *■ The city mpnagsr government would, have felled in Knoxville had the people not been determined to call to the c*ty council a high type es men who hitherto had kept their hands off, and would have continued tp keep tired r hands off, had their fellow citizens not sent them a call which no man can deny—the call to a position of duty and honor.

Much Depends on Council If Indiana polls I*' determined to draft her wisest and most unselfish citizens for her first city council under the manager form there Is no better farm she can adopt than the city manager form. But If she Intends merely to change the fprm, and let the old players at the political game run the new machinery, then the city manager form will not have a fair test. The city manager form has had a fair test In Knoxville, and It has succeeded beyond the fairest hopes of its. advocates. In a recent election of members of the Legislature on the sole Issue of the city manager charter, those candidates pledged not to tamper ■with the charter were elected by a landslide. The new government in its first year, spent less than the political government did the previous year. It not only kept within its budget, but finding that expenditures were lower and revenues higher than anticipated, it refunded To the taxA payers 10 per cent of the taxes they had paid in. True, the new government ralsod taxes, but it did this in order t<7 pay current expenses out of current rev enues, instead of Issuing bonds to pay them, as did the old government. In refunding the city’s debt, the pew government was able to borrow money in the New York maiket it from 214 to & 85-100 per cent interest as compared with 6 per cent Interest q.nd commission which the political government had to pay. The new government has added almost a million dollars worth of permanent Improvements and in doing so has added less than 885,000 to the city’s debt. Government Is Efficient Elimination of politics has brought efficiency and high morale all down the line, today thp cly gpyernment of Knoxville is more efficient than most private business. Answering the objections made in Indianapolis: No. 1. The city manager government does not make for a political machine if the politicians are kept out of the city council—as they can be kept out if the people want to keep them out, as Knoxville has kept them out. Knoxville finds It unthinkable that City Manager Louis Brownlow would play politics. All of his appointments have b'ien made solely on the fitness of the appointee for the job. The city council did not desire to know, and has npt known, what these appointments were until they read the city manager’s announcement in the papers, but in every case they have beep entirely satisfied with the judgment of thp city manager they selected. Nq. 2. Instead of rprpoying from the people control of their government, the city manager government, Knoxville has found, has brought government closer to them. In practical affair*, than it has even been The city manager and his helpers would not Ust6n Jo any politician or special Interest or faction—lf. indeed, such would dare approach them—but the city manager does have his ear to the ground to find out what thp whole people tvan|. And what the whole people want he has done, in a moat satisfying way. Np. 3. The city manager government Is stronger with the people Jhap gverbefore. N o one ia against j

IS THIS THE JAPANESE PERIL? M" -IRS. W. J. SNYDER. of Brazil, lnd., was killed In the l__J Orient three years ago. A bullet fired in an attempt to assassinate a high Japanese official caused her death. She now sleeps In a Terre H&ite cemetery. Recently the burial spot was visited by an oriental gentleman.

NELSON It was not an international incident. There was no elaborate ceremony full of Insincerity, gold braid, dignity, and curious spectators. It was a simple act of respect such as any individual might pay to the memory of a departed friend. Apparently it wasn’t dictated by any ulterior or diplomatic motive. Perhaps we are on the brink of war with Japan, just as jingoes claim. Possibly we may all awake any morning now and find our throats cut from ear to ear by the invaders. But such an incident as this suggests the Japanese peril is about nine-tenths hysteria and one-tenth misunderstanding aroused by alien tongues. There is quite reasonable and understandable human nature in a people that places wreaths on the graves of an obscure private citizen of another land. ANOTHER CHAMPION OF MODERN YOUTH D*— “}R. ROBERT J. ALBY. preai dent of Butler University, i_J in an address before the Indianapolis Parent-Teacher Association the other n'ght took up the cudgels for modem youth. “I believe In the youths of today,” he declared. ‘‘They are sound at the core. They do the same things the youths of yesterday • did, only In a different way. Furious debate has swirled around the boys and girls of today. They have aggressive critics and staunch defenders. To some youth is a strange affliction that has suddenly beset distracted society. Perhaps young people are going straight to perdition and the race to smash —as wiseacres with ossified prejudices believe. But if so the world has been on that road a long time. Youth isn’t anew manifestation: it has created most of the disturbance in the world since the beginning of time. Alexander the Great started his invasion of Aaia at 22. Hannibal commanded an army at 22, crossed ,the Alps and terrified Rome before he was Napoleon was acclaimed a military genius and led victorious armies before he was 28. And so on throughout history. Sedate elders always look askance at juvenile antics. But sqmehoW their dire prophecies never come exactly true. Instead of going to perdition youth eventually grows up and worries about the decadence of the younger generation. Years cur© them.

POLICE FORCE CHANGES C*“~|HIEF RIKHOFF announced Saturday police shifts that I will be recommended to the hoard of safety tomorrow. Nineteen officers will be affected —some demoted, others promoted. The phanges follow the edict from the throne that city jobholders must support a certain , candidate for mayor or suffer distressing consequences. So probably the department is being cleaned and renovated in preparation for the city primary campaign. Neither Sherlock IJolnles nor Nick Carter could now get on the force In this pity unless branded as “right” politically. Simple taxpayers" presume the police department Is to suppress crime and preserve order. Yet under the present system officers must be political errand boys then in their spare time they can scourge malefactors. Promotion depends on effectiveness as errand boys not as scourges. Private citizens are unaffected by the color of hair or partisan affiliations of policemen. All they want is protection against being murdered, robbed and otherwise maltreated by the crime wave. They have the quaint notion that they would get more efficient protection if the police were entirely divorced from politics. Undoubtedly they would. But under existing conditions municipal politics and the police force are as inseparable as ham and e,7gs. The department can’t be tagen out of politics until politics is taken out of the municipal government. NEW FASTTRAINS -ARE ADDED rrV fIE Big Four route anI nounced Saturday that a -new fast train will lie adqed to its passenger service between St. Louis. Indianapolis and pastern points.

all tbe rococo accessories of de luxe railroading. To many citizens of Indianapolis, no doubt/ tbe announcements will be only of academic interest. They don’t contemplate going anyvjifiere except on the street cars—where valet and maid service are conspicuously absent during rush hours. Nevertheless, the news is significant. It emphasizes tbe fact that the railroads h&vp emerged from the valley of despair in which tbe war and McAdoo’s standardized meals plunged them and are rapidly regaining financial health and competitive pugnacity. Branch lines may totter under the impact of improved highways and motor traffic, but freight tonnage and passenger traffic on tbe great trunk lines are steadily increasing. Cussing the railroads is a favorite indoor sport. However, on them depends the industrial and commercial life of the nation. They are accurate barometers of general business conditions. Therefore, these new trains not only add to this city’s already unexcelled transportation facilities, but they herald prosperity. If it gravels by rail it can’t miss Indianapolis.

How is ginseng grown and does it need much attention? The soil should be fairly light and well fertilized with woods earth, rotted leaves or fine raw bone meal. Seed should be planted in the spring as early as the soil can be worked to advantage. Only cracked or partially germinated seed should be used. Ginseng needs little cultivation. but the bed should at all times be kept free from weeds and grass and the surface of the soil slightly stirred whenever It shows signs of caking. The winter mulch, over the crowns, should be removed In the spring before the first shoots come through the soil. What Is meant by the term “Yellow Press?” A term that has come into use in the last twenty years to describe sensational newspapers which seek to attract attention by using large type and colored Inks for their display headlines, specializing in revealing personal tragedies and in pandering to the emotions of people who seek excitement vicariously.

THE SUN AND MOON Through a regrettable error on the part of our Washington Bureau, this column stated recently that the word "moon” in German is feminine, and ‘‘sun” masculine: the contrary is true, moon being masculine In the German language, and sun, feminine.

What type of engines ai*e used oq United States submarines and how long does it take a submarine to emerge from the water? Diesel engines are used on the surface and electric storage batteries and electric motors when submerged.

Connie Can’t Make Her Eyes Behave; People Do Not Forget the Old Tunes

By WALTER D. HICKMAN I*. .1 AUGHTY eyes has Constance IN I Talmadge. *- 1 * Byes or stories about eyes Have made women famous on the Stage and screen. The late Anna Held actually became famous in her eyes at a . fun. A hide is "Learning to Love.” She is the comedy class CONSTANCE girl of the screen. TALMADGE She is to the screen today jus: what Billie Burke was to the stage some years ago. To my way of thinking Connie is the best light comedy womaq Oti the screen today. Somebody brains is seeing to it that eke has the right sort of vehicles. In her new one Connie, by | the eye method, vamps as high as • four men into complete submission. She flaps all over the story In a different sort of way. And, anpther thing, the sub-titles are as smart as Miss Talinadge and the story. The story may be summed up In a few words —Connie becomes engaged to three dress-suit boys, but it is the fourth guy that’ is the apple of Connie’s eye. He thinks she is applesauce, but he tames her In time. But it is merry fun while It is going on. Among Miss TaJmadge’s assistants in the fun are Antonio Moreno, Emily Fltzroy, Edythe Chapman, Johnny Harron, Roy Hallar, Alf Goulding as a barber who bobs the pair of sweet girls, Byron Munson and others who have a polished comedy way about them. “Learning to Love" is the sort of a feature that not only packs the house, but makes more friends for Connie. Although the Talmadge picture is the big noise at the Circle this week, you will find Bakalelnikoff directing the orchestra through “Cavalleria Rustlcanna,” a news reel showing some fine scenes of President Cpol-

OLD-FASHIONED MUSIC is STILL A FAVORITE When you make a horse race out of jazz music and the old-time tunes, well, the result may be different than expected. Harry Koch over at the Ohio this week is permitting jazz and the old time tunes to run a race. Yesterday, when 1 was present the old time tunes were hhmbm not choked death but actually relished after a number of modern V .iazz.v tunes were served on a music■EE*, al menu by l.ostor Huff, saxoK i phones, jazz singers and Charlie Davis' orchestra.

They would vanish for a few seconds and the jazz makers would get busy. The result was that the old fashioned tunes came In for as much applause and appreciation as the shoulder shaking stuff. People want new musical ideas with their movies. The box office at the Ohio, yesterday will prove my point. Also the heavy and prolonged applause. A movie flapper has arrived. Her name is Jetta Goudal now being costarred In “Salome of the Tenements” with Godfrey Tearle. Don’t remember of seeing Jetta Goudal before in a leading role. Although she attempts ip pull that baby stuff, she is a wise young lady with talent for acting smart things. She is cast as a girl of the Ghetto of New York who made up her mind to vamp her way from “home” furnished by paying so much down and then so much a week to a home that didn’t know what a collector was. -I- -I- -IThis picture is good on Ghetto types and atmosphere, but the story lacks the needed ring of sincerity. I for one do not believe that the clever flapping of a flapper will always land her in the palace of the king. Not one out of a thousand. The chief character is a sort of a Peggy HopklnsyJoyce, but along Ghetto methods. Tearle does convincing work and does a lot to make

In such a role, Keenan returns to his favorite brand of acting in "The Dixie Handicap,” a movie full of the honor stuff that fiction has placed on certain Kentucky characters. Horse racing stories are popular today and one can forgive an author and a movie director from becoming very melodramatic at times. The success of “The Dixie Handicap” rests in the work of Keenan as a Kentucky gentleman who was too proud to beg. Instead, be even placed a second mortgage upon the flower pots upon his broad porch. Os course a race horse restores the lost fortune of the colonel. It Is the usual thing that happens in story books to a character that does not actually deserve success. Keenan plays the Colonel role. Which In this specific case is a Judge of a county court, with rare charm. Bven when the old man becomes a "souse,” Keenan makes the type really lovable. One thing I am thankful for is that no villain Is on hapd to rob the story of sinoerity. Have always thought that not everything was crocked with a race horse story. It's great American sport, and the cleanep it is the better. The racing scenes arp knockouts. It is a real race and not pne merely reflected by the acting of people in the grand slands. Some of the comedy done by nergo characters could be dispensed of with advantage. But this fact remains—Keenan comes hack with a characterization which has the right to be called splendid. Others in the oast include Lloyd Hughes, Claire Windsor, John Salnpolis and others. The horses used are magnificent animals. Photography and direction—splendid. Bill includes orchestral and organ music, a news weekly and a llkl Roach comedy. At the Apollo all week. I- -1- -IOther Indianapolis theaters today offer Thurston, magician, at English's; Frandne Larrlmore In “Parasites.” at the Murat: Miss Patriola at Keith’s; “A Dancing Honeymoon,” at the Palace, and Jack Patton and Loretta Marks at the Lyric. For the first half of the week the Isis is offering Hoot Gibson in “Let 'Er Buck,” and a. Pathe comedy, "Plain and Fancy Girls.” Gibson's movie Is concerned with a Western tovmd-up, a brand which first made him popular. Marian Nixon is leading woman for Gibson.

Movie Verdict “Learning to Love” —Just the right kind of a movie frolic for Constance Talmadge. Again her eyes cannot behave. Smart fun. Will delight all. At the Circle. Ohio Theater —It isn’t the mqyie feature. “Salome of the Tenments,” which is the big thing this week, but the idea of permitting Jazz and old-faab-ioned tunes to run a race for tne most favor. This musical contest shaped up on the first day as a real hit. “The Dixie Handicap”—A race track story that actually does not have a villain who would poison a aorse. Frank Keenan registers in a Kentucky colonel role. At the Apollo.
