Bill Armitage Pours Oil on Troubled Waters. political factions have their saclE* I tional troubles. The Lemcke-Jewett-In-dianapolis News faction of the Republican party was recently supposed to have been welded tightly with the Shank-Armitage faction of the Republican party. But the Lemcke-Jewett-Indianapolis News faction wasn’t paying enough attention to the Shank-Armitage faction, so the latter outfit pulled out and went over to the city hall, where it holds forth, ind stayed away from the Lemcke-Jewett-In-dianapolis News faction. But the Lemcke-Jewett-Indianapolis News Paction needed the support of the Shank-Armi-fcage faction. So they hastened to make peace. They asked for a representative to make peace negotiations and that veteran of many negotiations, Bill Armitage, was sent over to straighten things out. And Bill, as is customary with Bill, straightened them out. • • • S JT " 0 NOW we have once again the LemckeShank - Jewett - Armitage - Indianapolis News faction functioning more or less peacefully. And Bill Armitage, once spurned by the Lemcke-Jewett-Indianapolis News faction, becomes even a bigger man in the organzation. The organization can’t do without Bill and Bill can’t get along without an organization. Nothing, therefore, could be happier than the present arrangement. Os course, the Indianapolis News-Jewett-Lemcke faction once had no use for Bill Armitage nor Bill for them. But under the stress of political necessity they have adopted each other. Political necessity under our present form of city government always is put above questions of public welfare. When the Indianapolis News-Lemcke-Jewett faction couldn’t use Bill Armitage they lambasted him with all the power that editorial writers and news writers writing editorials on the front page could command. But now that they can use Bill the lambasting has ceased and it is said that he is threatening to join the mysterious, to the uninitiated, Good Citizens’ League, which has a habit,of Springing up just before each city election. • • • m RINGS are moving along in the political squabble with which Indianapolis is being entertained and for which it will eventually, if politicians have their way, pay the bill. E. Howard Cadle has decided that he will not be a Republican candidate, as at first announced, but that he will run independently. Cadle, when he announced his candidacy, said that he intended to pluck thistles and plant flowers in the political pathway. He evidently has decided he can do this as an independent. The Democrats, as is their custom, still are

Political Parties and Election Methods

1. The Local Situation

EF any evidence were needed to prove the total Inadequacy of political parties to serve me public welfare, In our present social and political environment, the events that have been transpiring in this community with the Republican party factions would furnish that evidence. An old stock argument by all standardized party adherents Is that this Is necessarily a government by political parties—a twoparty system, In fact—and this argument is so persistently indulged In that multitudes of people appear to believe In It as a sort of sacred political fetish. But it is one of those beliefs that is a pure myth, and adherence to this political myth is a chief cause of the difficulties we encounter In administering our blio bur Iness. Whatever might, in a measure, be true in State or national politics, there is now in local political life positively no lines of demarkation between the two dominant political parties except the places for which they scramble with two gets of candidates. Party responsibility has almost wholly disappeared, as an Inevitable result under present political conditions, and this irresponsible position in which political parties are now placed In relation to the public can only be remedied through the substitution of personal responsibility as the only thing, in the last analysis, that really counts. (■ Many Worship Myths In our partisan political life we are, on the whole, not acting the part of Intelligent and discriminating citizens, many of us merely worshipping myths, refusing to face factt and flaunting the public welfare. Consider the lecal situation. There is the fact of the two Ipolitical parties, ordinarily approximately evenly divided. That is, the citizenship stnads half-and-half to' begin with Then the parties divide into factions, the majority faction winning—usually. Within this majority faction there may be, and often is, an inside group of the winning party, taking all, or at least the bulk, of the places and controlling party and public action. This usually leaves a small minority control, a condition thoroughly destructive to re-

attempting to find for themselves a candidate. Adolph Emhardt still is in the field, but the Democrats evidently want someone else to make the primary campaign interesting. So they are asking Walter Myers to make the race. Walter has threatened to make many races in the past, but he never has actually blossomed forth as a candidate. He take the plunge this time. Meanwhile the city manager movement is gaining momentum without much noise or the fanfare of trumpets and before long the politicians may discover that all their efforts have been in vain and that Indianapolis citizens are more interested in good government than in politics.

Pershing for President EERSHTNG for President in 1928. One guess is as good as another, but it begins to look as if the G. O. P. had started out to groom the tamer of St. Mihiel and points west for the next big nomination. The general has just returned from South America, where he headed the official delegation representing the United States at the centennial of Spain’s last stand on this continent at Ayacucho. * No sooner had he set foot hack on P istrict of Columbia soil then President Coolidge named him president of the important commission which will supervise the plebiscite to determine whether the disputed district of Tacna and Arica shall revert to Peru or remain with Chile. But the most significant gesture of all is the party’s move to run him for United States Senator from Missouri two years hence. Asa public speaker the general is a good army officer. He is not accustomed to public debate. He does not like it. He suffers terribly from stage fright. But he is improving. His junket through South America helped. His new job will further improve his glibness of gab. And if the party can only get him into the Senate where speech-making is the one thing they don’t do nothing else but, as the saying goes, he should emerge in 1928 a polished verb shooter. Pershing for President in 1928 would certainly be good tactics from the G. O. P. point of view. In the first place whatever some may think about it, a large portion of the public will cry “Third Term!’’ if President Coolidge tries it again. Then, too, political winds are notoriously fickle.' A’good second siring candidate ready groomed for the job, would be only common sense. Last but not the least in importance, the World War has not yet given a hero to the White House. Every other war, including the Indian scrimmage, did better by the countrj. Washington, Jackson, W. H. Harrison, Taylor, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt in varying degree owed their nominations to their war records. A little late maybe, but the signs arc not wholly lacking that the last and biggest war of them all might yield at least a candidate— Pershing, in 1928.

publican-democratic institutions. In all such party government, party Interests necessarily are of primary importance, and within the party factional Interests dominate. SelfIn teaest first compels loyalty to the faction and party, the common welfare falling into secondary consideration as a natural consequence. In such situation, how Is It possible to sanely visualize the public good or promote effective and disinterested administration? It is a serious indictment against a people, as citizens of any community, that they are so devoid of sanity and good will that they decline to put the common weal—the good of all the people—as a first consideration in the conduct of public affairs. But until this is done there is little hope of any worth while improvement, and ojur political factions will continue to dominate to the common disadvantage. But this indictment is not necessarily a continuing one, and is more largely due to our as tp the functions of political parties and our methods of election than to any lack of inherent civic virtue. Political parties, ihstead of being essential elements in executive government ought only to reflect attitudes on social, economic and political policies. It is also a grave error to assume that In governmental matters our present system of partisam majority-minority elections results a true reflection of the public will. Voters Should Discriminate This debasement of the public conscience to the rule of partisan majorities anc group minorities could be remedied by discriminating, first, between the executive or administrative features of government and those relating to principles or policies, and then discarding our present forms of majority-minority elections, with long partisan ballots, and substituting a selective form of voting, with a short ballot and without party emblems, but with a series of choices, depending upon the number of candidates (to be explained in a later article), all candidates to be placed on ballot by petition. Some such plan sould be evolved, with the purpose of getting real majorities for the beet disposed persons as compromise choices, and thus securing a really representative democracy.

With such a system in operation, the primary election could bo safely dnd advantageously abandoned, only one election being necessary, thus going forward to better forms of orderly representative democratic government and not backward to old and discredited political methods, as is proposed by a return to the convention system. Some such nonpartisan election is especially needed now in the selection of judges, where it would serve to clear up a very evident unsatisfactory situation, avoiding resorting to questionable appointive methods in lieu of popular choice, and could, also, be used to advantage in the election of school commissioners, s’nce there is now a considerable body of public opinion favoring separate nonpartisan elections for these officials.

Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays Meet Big Test by Favoring, ‘Quo Vadis’ Film

By Walter D. Hickman mHERE la much satisfaction in knowing that a semi-public and official organization known as the Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays has met a severe test with gratifying results. This body of Indorsers Is not a censorship body, but a medium through which attention is focused upon photoplays that will appeal to both adults and to family patronage. In this way, the Indiana indorsers

with sdfegy wood and crackling temper is time consuming. Frequently the feeble blaze dies out Just as gnawing hunger begins to turn handsprings in the bosom of the family. So the ready oil can becomes the handmaid of house-wives. Familiarity breeds carelessness. Timid persons- wouldn’t stay in the same section with a stick of dynamite dose fires with kerosene without a quiver. Yet pound for pound the explosive power of kerosene exceeds dynamite. It is even more ternpermamental. It may start fires placidly and quietly or a dying ember lurking in the stove may arouse it to appalling fury. To use the oil can safely it must be handled cautiously. In It is potential tragedy. There Is little satisfaction in hastening the family breakfast by turning the family tree into a torch.

POLICE UPS AND DOWNS rzr-1A TROLMAN ELMER 1 .1 I STODDARD was promoted I * * to sergeant by the board of saiety Tuesday. A fortnight ago he was reduced from lieutenant to patrolman by the same perspicacious board. From the rapidity of his fall and rise it would seeqri he Isn’t so much a policeman as Re is a vibration. Probably the recent promotion was deserved—simply the suitable reward of a capable, faithful officer. Then why the demotion two weeks ago? That action must have been dictated by something besides merit and good of the service. An officer doesn't change character in two weeks. Ability and efficiency is guarding lives and property and harrying bandits is neither gained nor lost In that period. Merit has nothing to do with Indianapolis police. Politics rule. And after the political tornado sweeps through the department its efficiency is blown out of the window and destroyed. The purpose of police—simple citizens believe—is public protection. But officers are kept too busy trying to vibrate in harmony with tunes played by political pipers to devote time and talents to other duties. So while they Jump up and down, bandits and outlaws run at large, and peaceful citizenc get stuck-up and knocked down. Politics Is great exercise but only a merit system will develop a strong police force.

THE TIES OF HOME JRIFFIN will be rebuilt. Although It has scarcely buru__J led its dead, and .the muddy waters of swollen rivers momentarily threaten the desolate ruins, plans for rebuilding are being completed. Three times in thirty years this little Hoosier community has been virtually wiped out—twice by the wind’s fury and once by the ravages of fire. Yet after each catastrophe the inhabitants have cleared awa/ the wreckage, built the town anew, and community life was resumed. Disaster might obliterate the town but couldn’t destroy the community. There is really no sound economic reason for Griffin. It is not a strategic location for business or trade. The site is low, within reach of flood waters from the Wabash and ita tributaries. Yet because people settled, established homes and reared families there the town has persisted despite economics and calamities. The ties of home bind the people to the spot. ' The same tie draws back dwell\ers on the slopes of \ volcanoes—living always in the shadow of destruction —after an eruption. Patiently and painfully they scratch and save and build in the same perilous location. This attachment to a certain bit of soil, despite disasters and natural disadvantages, is, perhaps, foolish. It’s tfllly a touch of sentiment. But that sentiment —the indestructible tie that binds man to hia the glory of the race.

do their bit in placing public attention upon the better form of movie entertainment. This organization faced a crisis this week when it was called upon to consider “Quo Vadis.” After seeing this imported picture at the Circle this week, the Indorsers listed it as a picture which they recommend for adult patronage. And to my w r ay of thinking that Is just what should be done. The central character is Nero. We all know what sort of foolish, misguided and rotten ruler this conceited “hunk” of human flesh was.

FINES FAIL TO PUNISH —WALTER PHELPS, E. St. yU Clair St., was convicted jLU twice in city court on blind tiger charges. Each time he was fined |SO, after which he again pursued his avocation with unabated zeal. Yesterday In Criminal Court he faced his third blind tiger charge. Upon conviction he was sentenced to sixty days on the State farm. Perhaps that won t break tue spirit of his blind tiger, but for two months at least the creature will hibernate. The episodes Illustrate the f itility of fines as punishment. Vhey are only regarded as an exifnse. Perhaps the fine system. Is a fruitful source of revenue, but It makes the punishment fit the pdeketbook Instead of the crime. Even handed justice Is distracted by the ring of the cash register. Originally the fine was only a means of evading punishment. It was a bribe by which financially able malefactors bought Immunity. From this unlovely beginning, the Idea of putting Infractions of law on a cash basis has spread until criminal statute books are little more than glorified pricelists. A little speed violation costs sl, a blind tiger Is quotable at SSO, and so on through an Interminable list. I If Justice Is satisfied with a $lO fine for assault and battery, why shouldn't It be satisfied with a SSOO fine for murder? Where, ethically, can the line be drawn?

But at that, Nero is a commanding historical character. In spite of Nefo, we today are enjoying the blessing of Christian civilization. I am not afraid of my Neroes In history. To correctly play the character of Nero on the screen, the producer had to show this ruler’s weakness for lewd entertainment. Nero, as you recall, was the original Barnum and Bailey in the circus world. He knew how to get thrills, although he resorted to, disgusting and cruel methods. I have no patience with this sort of thing, but Nero did indulge in some terrible pastimes. That is history and the producer of “Quo Vadis” has filmed the facts. The Real Test From a purely dramatic standpoint, “Quo Vadis” as revealed at the Circle this week Is a dramatic masterpiece, rich in historical characters. Here is history.flavored with cruel, harsh and even disgusting moments. “Quo Vadis” has been staged in a masterful way. It is easily the best of the imported movies. It is gignatlc in theme and in its treatment. Were the indorsers of photoplays going to refuse to indorse favorably this movie for adult entertainment? That question I asked myself often. And yet I had enough faith In this organization to feel that an indorsement would be given. And so it has been. We must not have narrowness in the Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays. This body does not tolerate lewd, cheap sex styff and I will say here and now that the Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays are making it safer and easier for film managers to present only clean and wholesome entertainment. “Quo Vadis” is nothing more or less than realistic history. As far as I am personally concerned, I would even recommend “Quo Vadis” for the youth who is mentally advanced and Is capable of mentally digesting dramatic entertainment. Other Indorsements In addition to “Quo Vadis” at the Circle, the Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays Indorse the following features for adults at the Ohio, Apollo and Colonial; for family, “Forty Winks,” at the Crystal. I am glad that the Indorsers are not afraid to recognize the worth of dramatic entertainment, although the material Is not lily white in the strict sense. As long as we have honest and Intelligent historical realism I am not afraid of the results. If the producer had made “Quo Vadis” a brothel I would have been the first to have protested against it. MIDGETS CONTINtXTS AT PALACE THEATER The big crowds which have attended every performance of ths Singer Midget’s in “So This Is Lllliput,” have made It necessary that the entire company be held over for the remainder of the week.

In New York By James VV. Dean NEW YORK, March. 16.—1f you know of a first-class, A No. 1 safe cracker who would like to have an honest job send him to the Loew Theater at Third Ave. and 156th St., this city. Several weeks ago a gang of yeggs filled the safe In the theater with nitroglycerine and neatly sealed It with soap. Then they were frightened away. Since then police have been on guard day and night to prevent any inexperienced person from meddling with the explosive. And experienced safe-blowers so far have shown no disposition to volunteer their services while the cops are present. • • • One of the most unusual sights to the visitor here is Division St. It runs north from Chatham Square, tfhich is the hub of the lower east side. It is a dark, dismal street oecause elevated tracks bridge it from curb to curb. The remarkable feature of Division St. Is that for several blocks on both sides of the street there are retail cloak and suit and dress stores In a continuous lihe, no other business being done in those blocks. The latest styles are shown in the windows. Although competition Is keen, prices are high. The surrounding community is one of the poorest in all the city. Whence comes the trade that causes these stores to ourish? Every sight-seer asks that quetsion. These stores depend on trade from uptown, the Bronx, Harlem and Riverside Dr., and from Brooklyn. The women who buy in Division St. were once poor immigrants of the neighborhood. Their first bit of finery was bought in one of those shops. As they prosper and move to other neighborhoods the glamour of Division St.’s windows of beautiful raiment remains with them.

COFFEE

day Brazil produces one-half of the world’s crop. This shows what a comparatlvel yfew people can do when they go In for gardening. Without tea and coffee to fall back on, but especially the latter, we might have found it harder to pass the 18th amendment and the Volstead act, which suggests that these two drinks may have exercised some political influence. Coffee is one of those commodities which, thoughproduced in only a few countries, enjoys worldwide demand. This makes it a factor of peace. We can’t get it, except peace is maintained with those countries and the trade routes kept open. If we did not need German dyes, Oriental silk, South American coffee, etc., in our daily lives, we might not be thinking so favorably of the League of Nations, the World Court and other Institutions that make for anew order.
