Adams. * r ■ : r . ‘We Have Just Begun to Fight’ mHE city manager movement,“even though destined not to be completed this year, is the greatest step toward good government ever taken in the history of Indianapolis. That it eventually will be successful is a ’’oregone conclusion. That it can be made successful in a referendum next year is certain. Many who had hoped that Indianapolis would have no more political administrations naturally are disappointed over the necessity for postponing the petition' and thus preventing the coining election. Postponement of fling th? petition was made necessary by the fact that the campaign for signatures was started too late. Nevertheless, accomplishments in the limited time during which the campaign was conducted were little short of wonderful. Just three months ago —on Jan. 12—The Times suggested city manager government for Indianapolis. This suggestion immediately met the indorsement of civic clubs, luncheon clubs and various organisations. But there was no organized effort to put city manager government in effect until nearly April 1, about two weeks before .the last possible date for filing petitions, bearing the names of 20 per cent of the voters, asking for a referendum on the subject. In that length of time a committee composed of approximately 1,500 persons; pledged to work for cjty manager government, was formed. An executive committee of leading citizens was made up otit of this larger committee. The work of obtaining signatures to petitions was started. In less than two weeks approximately 20,000 names of voters were signed to these petitions. But it became certain when the time- for filing arrived that a legal battle would ensue and that under any circumstances the referendum would not he held this year; it: was thought better that an organization he better perfected and that a detailed campaign be conducted than that hasty action,be taken with possibility of defeat because citizens either were n6t sufficiently well acquainted with the manager plan or had been misinformed by politicians and political publications. The postponement of the filing of the petition in no way means that the movement has been abandoned. The committee of 1,000, the executive committee and others interested still are active in the campaign. Headquarters will be maintained. Additional signatures will be obtained and everything will he put in readiness to go over the top next year. Friends of the city manager movement have adopted as their slogan: “We have just begun to fight.” An S O S for France E OTTERING dizzily at the brink of financial and economic disaster, can France save herself? Or has she, like the Germany of eighteen months ago. reached the stage where unless outside help is forthcoming she will go on the rocks? Overdrawn and overspent by between, two and four billion francs; with staggering sums in short-time loans corning due; with the market for domestic loans exhausted and foreign ones afraid, France today, regardless of who may be premier, is confronted by four altirnatives: A capital levy, new and much heavier taxation, currency inflation or calling foreign aid to the rescue. Premier Herriot faced the disagreeable facts without blinking and asked for a capital levy. The most socialistic move dared by any modern government outside of Russia, is raised a storm and he fell. He fell to the impa\jiono 1 cry of “Keep taxes down!” and “Make Germany pay 1” I Which is ominous. France has alreadytried too long to make Germany pay. However right, it was for Germany to pay, she d>d not pay and is only now setilir?" at so much-on the dollar by virtue qf the Dawes plan. No additional revenue may be looked for iit that direction. If France is unwilling to essume new tax burdens or submit to a capital levy—which, it appears, is the case —inflation can be escaped only by a miracle and with it all the consequences which that would mean. There is one man in France today who might possibly save the situation?, Joseph Caillaux, former premier and minister of Finance. Back on the scene after some years in exile, he is now one of the most talked-of figures polities. Caillaux is a marked liopral. He believes in a Fr&nco-Gtrman. entente., one of the
souhdest economists..in France and knows his finance from A to Z. A Franco-German entente would really be one of the most common sense things in the world. Nature made these neighbors for allies, but diplomats have made them enemies.. Such an entente would not only lighten France’s military load tremendously, but would give the two countries a joint hegemony over the trade 'of Europe and a large part of the world —a thing feared by England as she fears nothing else, on earth. Another hope for France lies in her foreign friends. A Dawes plan has been suggested for her. But to that she would never consent. She has too much pride. However, she would agree to, even welcome, an interallied debt conference, and such a conference might be made to do for France what the Dawes plan did for Germany. France would ask for a debt reduction. That is certain. And the allied and associated powers might well consent to consider lightening her burden on the condition that France would agree to an impartial, national stocktaking to determine her assets and liabilities—in short, her capacity to pay. A scaling down of France’s $4,000,000,000 debt to the United States and her $3,000,000.000 debt, to Britain, if found necessary, would he better than losing the money altogether. Which is the way things are headed now. Such a parley would go a long way toward setlling an irritating question and constitute a no small contribution to world peace and prosperity.
Sowing Silence and Reaping Tumult mT is human nature to be interested in forbidden fruit. When in “Huckleberry Finn” the Duke of Bilgewater and the Dolphin were about to stage “The Great Cameieopard” in a small Mississippi River town, the Duke said to the Dolphin—“ We’ll advertise women and children not admitted, and if that don’t bring ’em 1 don’t know Arkansas.” • • • jAROLYI’S remi. rks, as they are now _____ wafted over, rhe border from Canada. are • getting several thousand times the attention they would have received if they hadn’t so long been forbidden in the U. S. A. And when Karolyi warns that the peace of Europe and of the world is still being menaced by the same old dream of empire, he is accorded that intensity of interest which always accompanies curiosity restrained. If American loans money to the present Hungarian government she will help build another bonfire in central Europe, Karolyi tells us. The Hapsburgs and Ilohenzollerns are still on the job and the scheme of Mitteleurope is not dead. Dual monarchy stirs in its coffin and the world is not yet safe for democracy. That Is the burden of Karolyi’s message as be breaks at last his long silence. . Had he been permitted to speak when he first came to the United States, he would have been listened to by a few and ignored by the many. He would hardly have been able t.q compete with Babe Ruth and Dawes, and the Dodge Brothers, and the movies and prohibition, in the rough-and-tumble scramble for the limelight. But he was advertised. America’s euriosity was centered on this man who was being kept muzzled. He took his place along with Babe Ruth and the rest on a high plane if public attention. And the longer the muzzle was applied, the greater that interest became. What Karolyi had to say was forbidden fruit and America’s mouth watered. Karolyi was advertised—and the State Department of the United States acted as his advertising agency. The State Department sowed silence and reaped tumult. r I *. ■>♦ p Fast Freight CARNEGIE Steel Company tow of eleven _____ barges, loaded to a capacity of 800 tons each, completed the 2,000 mile journey from Pittsburgh to New Orleans in twelve days and eight hours.

But the two tows described traveled five times as fast as the average freight on one of America’s largest and most efficient railroads.

Harry Is Anxious About the V/ay Harold Feels and Harold Has the Same Thought
By Walter D. Hickman •n ri HEN a feller meets another Vy feller he must have someJ thing to say. Since the peace conference or some such confab decided that the weather was prohibited as conversation, so it isn’t just being done this season. So Harry' Jans and Harold Whalen had to talk about something else and they do just that. Harry asks Harold how he is feeling. Harold says that he is feeling good and Harry agrees that he is too. Then Harold allows that he is looking good. And Harry declares that Harold looks good also. That is the basic idea of the act offered- by Harry Jans and Harold Whajon at Keith’s this week. These two young men have that happy-go-lucky Broadway air about ’em that gives them a punch the second they walk out on the stage. They shoot nonsense at each other until they become blaclr and blue In the face. Then Harry puts on a girl’s hat, the sob stuff and every - and everything that goes with an Innocent but wise flapper. The act then becomes a grand riot. Here is a good, clever fun put over by two men who know the trick. Nonsense you call It. That Is true but it is fine fun. These two men are away from the beaten track. They have individual material and their own way of putting over their act. Here is one good reason for going to Keith's this week. Ernest Evans, supported by a number of girl da.ncers, presents “Hippies of 1925.” a dance revue of class and much charm. It Is mounted in good taste. Evans has a corking idea In introducing his act.

pemoorats. ~ They, point to the increase in the average length of human life already accomplished by sanitation and preventive medicines. Four hundred years ago the average life span was only twenty years. Now it is fifty-eight. Elephants, turtles, jokes and other sluggish creatures live for hundreds of years. Possibly man can do likewise if he gives undivided attention to the job—and doesn’t Jaywalk. But there is something more to life than mere longevity. Methuselah, the wandering Jew, and Thomas Parr collected years, but did very little with their collections. It isn't his number of years, but what man does with them that counts. A long shadow cast down the corridor of time by a man may be interesting. Still It has no substance. If science can make the years man already possesses more effective the result will probably be more important to humanity than lengthening the life span. POWER RATES AND INDUSTRY mHE public service commission, after an exhaustive survey, reported the other day that electric, gas and water rates are lower in Indiana cities than tho average for the country. The average domestic rate for electricity in this State is $2.61 vhlle for the country it is $3.38. For gas the average for the country is 17 cents above the Hoosler average. The difference in water rates is less marked —only a small fraction in favor of Indiana. Apparently Indiana is blessed with a very efficient public service commission, clever statisticians, or very saintly public utilities. Perhaps all three. The difference in domestic rates are not sufficient to mean milch to ordinary, consumers. An Indiana hou.seholder wouldn’t think he is

Been tucked in an hour or two, and long since said their prayers. Still, it klnda seems there's whispers cornin’ from the stairs. Lissen, Bad. and Mother, too. but don't stop what you’re doing. Wait a while and maybe you will find out what’s a-brewing. Hear that pitterpatter of nome tiny little feet? Betchr tomeone’s coming down to get a bite to eat. They don’t know you’ve heard ’em, and they’re gettin’ sorta bold. One voice says, "be quiet,” and the other, "gee. I’m cold.” Sneakin’, very softly, to the kitchen they have crept. Bet they’re in the pantry where the cookie jar is kept. Now let’s go an catch ’em. and surprise the little tike*.

girls tell you in song that "The Merry Widow” had charming mwsic fifteen years ago. So they, Mr. Evans and his chief dancer, do that famous dance. It is good to see and hear again. The entire act shapes as a winner. We are familiar with A. Robins, known as “The Walking Music Store.” His many mu3ical imitations are gems. He carries all of his properties with him. I have seen him often, but he is doing the best act of his career this season. Yal Harris and Vera Griffin discuss poultry, love, jazz music and old age in their little skit which is filled with hokum. Larry Stoutenburgh, a well known pocket billiard expert, shows how some of the most difficult shots are made. This act may not have general appeal because. I take it. that interest is limited in this sport to the men and not all of them. At that this act is more than a novelty. Splendid work. Eddie Alen and Doris Canfield go in for eccentric fun while appearing In "Gimme the Makins.” The woman is an eccentric funmaker who will go up in the amusement game. Steven Muldoy, Helen McNeece and Walter Ridge do their dancing on roller skates. They do some warm hoofing on skates. A posing act of beauty and much color closes the bill under the title of “Cycle of Colors." This week Is N. V. A. Week all over the country. Keith patrons this week are proving that they have not forgotten what the N. V. A. stands for and what the actor hits contributed to the community. At Keith’s all week.

living in a paradise Just because his monthly electric bill is a few cents less than it would be in Ohio, Illinois, or other semi-bar-barous seaports. But the lower rates here should be potent arguments In attracting factories and promoting the industrial development of the State. A few cents more or less in electric rates to a large user might mean the difference between a profitable • enterprise and a stockholders’ white elephant. It is tho consideration of such small factors that determines location of industries. Consequently in boosting Indianapolis industrially ’’cheap juice” will prove a more persuasive—If not as esthetic—slogan than "no mean city.” A QUIET ' SUNDAY f p jIVE persons were killed, and Ii I ,!vP °ihers were seriously I..—i 1 injured, in three grade crossing accidents in the State Sunday. Three accidents, three wrecked automobiles, five dead ami live injured’ But at that it was a quiet Sunday. Tho open season for grade crossings has hardly begun. In not one of the cases was a blind, obstructed, or otherwise inherently dangerous crossing to blame. Carelessness of the motorists alone caused the deaths. Grade separation, safety devices and watchmen would doubtless reduce the accident toll at crossings. But only reduce. As long as carelessness is behind the steering wheel, crossings will claim victims. A month ago six persons were killed at a crossing at Williamsport, where was stationed a watchman. The driver of that car ran down and injured the watchman in her haste to got on the track and meet death. She kept her appointment. The naked, unadorned fact is that carelessness, and its legitimate offspring, reckless speeding, cause the majority of automobile accidents. Yet 95 per cent of the drivers exercise prudence and caution and do not endanger others or themselves. A minor fraction of motorists are responsible for a major fraction of the accidents—and for the increasing stringency of driving regulations. Every additional tooth in automobile laws that annoys all motorists is a monument to the carelessness of a few. RECORD CHURCH ATTENDANCE mNDIANAFOLIS ch u r c h e s report a record breaking attendance Sunday. It is estimated 135,000 people attended services and 150,000 the Sunday schools, exceeding the totals for any previous Sunday in the city, it is said. Perhaps the remarkable turnout was due to a spiritual awakening in the community, but quite likely more worldly reasons contributed. The smiling day and gladsome Easter raiment as much as piety propelled people churchward. Probably many worshippers—not all feminine —while they kept one eye on the service allowed the other to rove over the congregation speculatively. “Where did she get that hat —and why?” was only a little less vital than the text and the preacher's welltrained syllogisms. Easter is a great church festival—of profound symbolic significance to Christianity. It is also the occasion when vernal apparel comes out of hiding and struts. Sometimes it seems this phase of the day'B observance quite overshadows the religious phase. Nevertheless, clothes —in this climate—are important. Absence of them would expose considerable goose-flesh and confusion. Naturally, therefore, men and women are interested in them. Clothes do not make men or women, hut if they make ’em go to church only on Easter Sunday they aren’t worn in vain. Church attendance for whatever reason Is productive of some good. The influence of church even in homeopathic doses is beneficial.
HATTIE WASHES BETTER THAN SHE SERVES FOOD Comedy servants on the stage often make the show. Such a character is found in “The First Year,” a comedy by Frank Cravens. Am speaking of Hattie, the colored person who appears only in the second act- Hattie knows that she knows nothing about serving, but she allows that she “washes better than she serves." . But Hattie is right on the spot when it comes to making cocktails. Hattie carries gin. which costs 65 cents a bottle. Whatever Hatte’s mama could digest was all wrong for a dinner party. The gin sends one of them to a hospital for internal repairs. You will meet Hattie, who serves "coffee after everything," at English's this week in the person of Idabelle Arnold. Hattie is the big funmaker in the second act. Miss Arnold again proves her comedy worth this week. She has a close runner-up for honors this week in Larry Sullivan as Fred Livingston, who has to have everything repeated twice before he remembers that somebody Is talking. His make-up is a real laugh. He goes deeper into real eharacterizatlon this week than he has this season. Edythe Elliott makes Grace Livingston. the nervous but romantic wife, who fears the first year of married life. She handled the difficult dinner scene in a good way and was able to put real emotion into her work In the third act. Milton Byron has a slight-tendency to play bis comedy scenes In too broad a manner. He seems to view it as farce Instead of comedy. A1 C. Wilson and Mary Hill were satisfactory In their parts, both giving characterizations that had more real life blood in them than just fiction. Yet there is something bigger in the results being obtained this week at English's by the Berkell Players than Just a revelation of the ability of the actors. It is the great human viewpoint that the yall have. They seem to make the theater a place where people want to go. As ufinal on Monday nights, the theater is not large enough to accomodate the crowds. "The First Year,” will bo on view all week at English's. •I- J + A BANJO AND MELODIES WIN FIRST PLACE AT LYRIC Crinoline and old lace, a banjo and old melodies, and all that sort of
thing go to make up the most refreshing act on the new bill at the Lyric. Southern Singers is the name of this act, made up of four girls, very pretty in the costumes of fifty years ago, and a man who plays the banjo. Their songs are "My Old Kentucky Home,” “Suwannee River” and others of Foster and Ids contemporaries. It Is good to hear these

mals I have ever seen, Spotty would rank first. Harry and Harriet Seebaek open the show with an exhibition of bag punching. Harry keeps seven punching bags in motion at one time. Quite a feat and the feature of an interesting act. Camplaln and Bell feature their singing and yodeling. McCormick and Irving and one other person are seen in "Seminary Mary." It is an amusing little comedy sketch with a couple of songs thrown in for good measure. A lot of old gags and an amateurish way of delivering them make Marcus and Booth a very tiresome pair of men. Their dancing is the best of their act. Elsie Meyerson’s Californians is th title of an all-girl Jazz band.

Florence Enright is an actress who writes much of her own material. In presenting "Embarrassing Moments,” she went to Babe Ruth, Will Rogers and other famous people and asked them to tell her a story about the most embarrassing moment they have heard about. She acts each of these stories as separate little sketches. The result is not only pleasing, hut gives her a chance to play three different characterizations. Brockman and Howard offer "Portraits of 1925," an act which is revue in nature. Brockman has done beautifully with the old song about the little tin soldier and the rag doll. He has been able to put both sentiment and pathos in this number. Although this is the big number of the act, it shapes up well. Brockman also finds time to

It all depends on how seriously you take your Dante and whether you want to see it illustrated in the picture books or on the screen. At the Palace today and Wedensday. LENA DALEY OPENS AT THE C APITOL. The Capitol Theater Is reopened this w r eek under the direction of Ed E. Daley, Indianapolis showman. Daley Is presenting a musical tabloid production with a fill-in of mooxies. It Is breezy entertainment for the warm weather months and is quite likely to earn a definite place in the list of local summer amusements. At least the reception on the opening night would lead to that assumption. Lena Daley, a local favorite, who has not been forgotten, is starred. Miss Daley leads a couple of musical numbers and does n dancing specialty that scores. Bill "Bozo” Mock is the principal comedian. Mack doesn’t say a word in the course of the performance, but he has a way of presenting slapstick pantomime that w'ill probably make him a favorite with the Capitol audiences. If there are enough tricks in his reportoire of silent comedy to enable him to change the program each week he will go a long way toward establishing this company. law Denny makes a very capable foil for Mack. There are several more principals and a chorus of good looking girls in this production. Daley has provided them with a wealth of really beautiful costumes. This show at the popular prices charged is not a bad buy for these warm evenings. At the Capitol all week. (By Observer.) -I- -I- -IOn Wednesday night, the Carleton Guy Players will present "Mickey" at Caleb Mills Hall. It is a threeact melodruma. The cast will include Kathryn Lieske, J. Carl Martin, Cordelia Wooden, Betty Jean Clayton, Paul Mastellar, Ed<jy Gaunior, Ben Harris and .1. F. Essex. This cast has been under the personal direction of Guy this winter prior to the opening of the municipal park shows. Other theaters today offer: "Sally," at the Circle; "The Spaniard,” at the Ohio; "Wife of the Centaur," at the Apollo; “Idaho,” anew serial, at the Alamo and Regent, and “Beyond the Border,” at the Isis.
Baltimore and Kansas City dismissed the charges against the Indicted papers on the ground that the publicity provided In the law passed by Congress meant publiolty of any kind, and that newspapers were within the law In printing the lists. The Department of Justice then appealed, and It Is In answer to the appeals that the cases of the Baltimore Post and Kansas City JournalPost are now before the Supreme Court. The law passed by Congress provides that as soon ns practicable each year the Income tax lists are to be made available for Inspection. In compliance with these Instructions the Treasury Department has already announced that the returns filed last month for 1924 taxes will be opened on June 1, 1925. The decision of the Supreme Court will not affect the preparation of the tax lists for public Inspection, but the question whether or not the newspapers may print the information thus made available will be determined. The Department of Justice, In its argument before the court, contends that there is a difference between the right to inspect lists in the tax commissioner's office and the right to publish them. The counsel for the newspapers contend that publicity Is publicity, whether on postoffice walls or in newspaper columns.
