Turning the Public Mind E RESIDENT COOLIDGE in his Memorial day address discussed the relation between the State Governments and the National Government. There arc great practical problems involved in this relationship, he said, “and I shall take this occasion to try to turn the public mind in that direction.’’ His address as a whole is well calculated to do just that. It raises so many issues, while touching upon each in an inconclusive manner, that it doubtless will furnish material for much controversial comment. Interstate commerce, divergent divorce laws, State tax exemptions, State prohibition enforcements, State extravagances, State laxities in law enforcement and a few states of mind. It may be a safe enough speech. In some State or other there will be found an example of every condition suggested by the President and it will do no State any harm to consider the evils that lie close to home. Perhaps, however, the President is a victim of what is sometimes called the Washington viewpoint if he feels that the citizens of the States are giving all their thought to Washington a.id none to their State capitals. A brief so.i >urn in most any State would convince him to the contrary. It is well enough that the President should have in mind and that National Legislators should have in mind the danger of Federal encroachments upon the rights of the States. There is a basis of truth in the assertion that bureaus sometimes grow and flourish too thickly in the National Capital, but that does not absolve the Nati >nal Government of its duties toward the States and the people of the States. Just now there is being witnessed in Washington a palpable shirking of certain of these duties. Taking advantage of the cry that the government is becoming bureaucratized, a movement is under way to kill off two government agencies that contain great possibilities of service to the people. They grew naturally out of a real need. One is the Federal Trade Commission, conceived out of the need for some agency—necessarily an interstate agency —that would enforce fair trade practices in the interests not only of the average consumer but of the average business man. That commission has been deliberately wrecked by aianning it with a majority utterly out of sympathy with its purpose. Now it is proposed to kill it. Another is the United States Tariff Commission. Throughout the history of the American protective tariff system, manufacturers had been allowed practically a free hand in the writing of the tariff schedules. The people paid exorbitant prices for many commodities as a result. The people complained, but the manufacturers furnished the campaign contributions and complaint was futile. At length, almost over the dead bodies of the tariff beneficiaries, there was created a non-partisan tariff commission to work out tariff schedules on a scientific basis, for the guidance of Congress. That &iis mjght do no injustice to either manufacturer or consumer a provision later was made that the commission could recommend changes in schedules between sessions of Con-

Prepare for Brookhart Election Contest

Times Wnshinoton Bureau. IS ’2 -Veto York Avenue. i ASHING’i'ON, June I.—Senator Richard P. Ernst of u—J Kentucky, who has succeeded the late Senator Spencer of Misscri as chairman of the Senate com:' lttee on privileges and elections, Is now making final preparations for a recount of the ballots In the last V lowa Senatorial election. On the face of the returns last November, Senator Brookhart retained his seat by a majority of 755 votes. His Democratic opponent, Dan F. Steck, filed a contest, claiming many votes 'ln his favor had not been counted. The Senate ordered a recount. To ; date the vote has been retabulated ;in twenty of lowa’s ninety-nine ■counties. The twenty counties use machines which had to be :emptied to make way for other lo.cal elections, and so that part of the recount was conducted in lowa. Brookhart gained 622 votes, making ;hls present net lead 1,377. Ballots Not Counted In the seventy-nine counties in which voting machines are not used no recount has been held. Most of the ballots have been shipped to "Washington and are now held in the Senate elections committee. It Is these ballots which will he checked over during the next month or six weeks. ' The committee on privileges and Selections, once It has completed the recount, will make a report to the Senate next December. It will not be until the Senate as a whole votes on the committee report that the ppptest will be finally disposed of. Brookhart’s victory In lowa last November was obtained in the face pf tremendous odds. Though he was regularly nominated at the Republican primary and was entitled to the party his liberal ten-

gress and the President was empowered to act on these recommendaitons. One such recommendation had to do with the rates on sugar. The commission brought in a year ago a report on which the President ebuld have acted to save sugar, consumers millions of dollars —and without injustice to the sugar refining interests. He put the report in his pocket and it is there yet. And now he has brought about such changes in the personnel of the commission that he will not be troubled soon again by recommendations designed to reduce the sugar refiners’ profits. In a time less cynical than this the treatment by the President of these two agencies of the government would cause an outraged outcry throughout the country. Perhaps the people of the States will accept his suggestion and turn their minds to their local troubles. But it will be the part of wisdom if they, at the same time, keep one eye on Washington.

Another name has been added to the hall of fame of motordom, that of young Pete De Paolo, who served his apprenticeship with the great De Palma and who after years of training achieved the greatest triumph possible to 5 race driver, when he drove his Duesenberg down the home stretch Saturday ahead of the field in the world’s greatest race. But the race was something more than an achievement of anew winner. It was significant that all records for speed were broken. It marked anew point in the development of automobile motors, and out of the development of the gasoline motor on the Indianapolis track has come much that has revolutionized transportation both on the highway and in the air. It was a great achievement for the little 122-inch motors. But automobile race officials have decided that they have now proved their worth and have arranged for the racing of even smaller motors. Next year the racing motors must be 25 per cent smaller. To one accustomed only to commercial gasoline engines these motors will be inconceivably small. But they will mean anew development in the automotive industry, and it has been the experience of the past that commercial de•velopment follows —somewhat more slowly to be sure’ —the lpad of the racing motors. The tendency seems to be toward small cylinder displacement, as compared with that of the early days. Another significant feature of the race was the small number of cars forced out because of accident or defects. The little racing cars appear to have more stamina than ever before. Still another gratifying feature of the contest was the fact that it was not marred by a single serious accident. No one was killed and no one was more than very slightly hurt. This fact should go a long way to overcome the disapproval of the automobile racing game occasionally voiced in some quarters. And not the least gratifying feature of the race from an Indianapolis, standpoint was the fact that for two years in succession an Indian-apolis-made car won. Much credit is due to Fred Duesenberg and his organization who built the winning car in this year’s race, as well as the one that finished first last year.

dencies and his criticism of Candidate Dawes estranged the lowa G. O. P. regulars. They threw their full support to Steck and gave the latter the best chance a Democratic candidate for senator has had in lowa in seventy-five years. Steck’s friends, in encouraging him to contest Brookhart’s election, united Republican and Democratic support within the Senate. The Republicans were counted to oppose Brookhart because of his independence and the Democrats because his passing would make way for a Democrat. But Steck, during the campaign, said a few nice words about Harry

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Big League Politicans Unhappy

Times Mgshinnton Bureau, JS2t Xctr York Avenue. ASHIXGTON, June I.—With strife and dissension creep.—l ins into the ranks of the Democratic and Republican parties, the spring is proving to be one of discontent for the big league politicians in both parties. The Democratic party is enjoying another of its family rows over the question of who shall he the national chairman. An influential group wants Clem L. Shaver of West Virginia to retire and Congressman William A. Oldfleld of Arkansas, present chairman of the Democratic Congressional committee, to succeed him. Inspired stories have been widely circulated that Oldfleld already had been, decided upon as Shaver’s successor, but Shaver enters an objection. He announces he had no intention of retiring, for the present anyway. The Republican politicians are concerning themselves over the possibility of President Ooolidge becoming a candidate for a third term. Friends of aspiring candidates for the Republican nomination have started a hack fire against a third term. They have enlisted as their chief publicity agent, Edward B. McLean. Washington and Cincinnati publisher, whose right to roam around the White House in the days of the late President Harding was cancelled by President Coolldge.

Nelson

resentations to Governor Jackson. There the matter restß. Many men boast of their youthful whippings—though they didn’t boast at the time. Only in after years did they realize such painful episodes formed character as well as welts. Every one admits a child must be punished for misconduct —that an energetic laying on of hands is often necessary to bend a stubborn juvenile twig in the j#oper direction. Consequently when the State plays the role of foster-parent it must also supply the necessary spankings to its wards. But by nature children are trying, and in a State institution punishment may become a mere outlet for the temper of attendants. So every case of alleged cruelty merits prompt and official investigation. The public wants its orphan wards properly disciplined but not knocked lopsided in the name of discipline. UNSWAYED BY BY TEARS TT- OLAND KOONTZ. a Ft. Wayne youth, was sentenced to ft year in prison by a Chicago judge for carrying concealed weapons. A tearful plea by the young man's mother failed to dissuade the judge from imposing the sentence. The boy was. not bad, she averred, just a bit‘wild perhaps. The son enthusiastically corroborated her testimony. He denied attempting robbery—suspicion of which led to his arrest—and explained he carried a revolver, because he was out of work and “just had it in mind to try a hold-up some time." The explanation was perfect. Perhaps the judge dealt harshly with him. A year for merely toting a gun! However the gun toter Is a menace. Even if he is not actively engaged in criminal trade he is a candidate for admission to -the outlaw fraternity. He has it in mind to commit a crime w’hen occasion offers. That’s what the revolver Is for. There's no use in waiting until one carrying concealed weapons murders a peaceful citizen or holds up a filling station before dealing him a heavy blow In court. The gun itself is prima facie evidence of criminal intention. No single remedy will flatten the crime wave to a ripple. Certainly merely reprimanding men found carrying concealed weapons won't. However, if every unauthorized guntoter caught is sentenced and fined to limit many crimes will be prevented before they happen.

RESTRAINT OF TRADE ORTY-FOUR Indiana firms were among the 2&3 fumil—> ture manufacturers indicted Recently by the Federal grand Jury in Chicago on charges of violating the Sherman antitrust act. Price fixing and curtailing of production to maintain high prices and destroy competition are charged. Furniture men declare that furniture prices show a greater decline from the war peak than other commodities. Perhaps so. Nevertheless the price of household goods is still high enough as any hopeful bridegroom will discover if he tries to furnish a love nest complete from radio to rolling pin for 1100. Industry is after profit. Therefore it trends toward mergers, associations and combinations to prevent ruinous competition and Increase profits. If this tendency operated unrestrained perhaps the consumer's throat would be cut from ear to ear. To keep industry in r wholesome frame of mind and to prevent restraint of trade there is need of frequent investigation, regulation and prosecution. Such activity may discourage trade practice inimical to the consumer. The Sherman anti-trust act, though, while it has been one of the busiest laws on the statutes, has accomplished little for the consumer. It unscrambled the oil trust It has diligently pursued trade organizations, manufacturers, wholesalers and Jobbers In r hundred other lines. Investigations and prosecutions have followed In rapid succession. But It hasn't brought down tho price of a single commodity. I* has done a lot of barking, bJt no biting. ADVANCE OF ’ T*J** CIVILIZATION IHARLES M. RCHWAB st a dinner at the Indianapo- ' lis Athletic Club the other night, said he would like to be starting his career now. because the Immediate future holds In store greater possibilities of progrcss than any other period we have known. The progress of mechanical and material civilization is accelerating at dizzy speed. A greater advance in arts, industry and science has taken place In the past century than In the whole period from the Punic wars to the invention of printing. There was more in common between the material civilization of Washington’s time and the Roman civilization of the Caesars than between Washington’s time and the present. George Washington doubtless would have felt strange wrapped In a Roman toga. But except for pants, printing and gunpowder his age possessed little more In the way jf conveniences than classical Rome. Modes of travel and communication were no better or faster. Steam and electricity, though present in the world from the beginning, had not been put to work. Industry still depended on hand labour. Unlimited mechanical power has unleashed the human mind. Civilization plodded leisurely from the Garden of Eden to the steam engine. Then It broke Into a gallop. Since then it has traveled faster and faster. In scarcely thirty years automobiles have grown from crude contraptions to common necessities, swarming on every road and nestling in the bosom of every family. The airplane has developed even more rapidly, while radio yesterday was only dream and today is everywhere./ Probably the next twenty-five yenrs will witness even more startling advances thin the past fifty. Mr. Schwab expreaaed a futile wish but not a foolish prophecy.

In ‘Soul Fire’ Barthelmess Becomes Master of Art of Dramatic Expression

By Walter D. Hickman r''"i M sure that you will join with I /V I nie In saying that "Soul Fire’’ I**' with Richard Barthelmess is one of the best all-round dramatic movies ever made. The hardest job either on the stage or on the screen is for a person to

stay always in the winning class. The screen is improving lately in the matter of handling dramatic themeß. Such n theme is "Soul Fire," made from a play tailed "Great Music.” The picture starts with a great symphony orchestra playing anew composition of a composer. In each of the movements a series of flashbacks shows the experiences of the composer which caused him

Ht A

Richard Barthelmess

to write great music. This id a dramatic trick, and a most effective one. You first see the young composer being driven by a commercial father to give tip his attempts to write a symphony. In the second movement we see the composer under the spell of a woman of Intellect, but possessing wild moral ttyie. He breaks with her when he discovers her real character. In another movement we see him at Port Said, living the life of a waster, but frantically trying to discover great music. A woman dive keeper makes It possible for him to discover himself by sending him under peculiar circumstances to the South Seas. There he finds real love, tragedy, sacrifice, and, above all, he finds great music. And in that ha finds happiness. Barthelmess is cast as the man who seeks soul fire or Inspiration to write great music. He Is a master of every mood. He actually made me feel that his soul as well as his intellect was searching for great musical truths. Barthelmess brings a dramatic quality to his work that stamps him as a careful artist in. temperamental characterization. He has achieved probably his finest dramatic characterization of his career. I stamp his work as one of the finest pieces of acting the screen has over seei\j He Is able to reflect a certain spiritual side of the character which actually leaves the screen and becomes a living personality. I ask you to watch carefully the following things: First—The dramatic ability of Barthelmess and his method of shading moods. Second—The splendid use of the flashback system as an Important part of the deyelopement of the theme. “Third—The splendid work of Helen Ware as San Francisco Sal. Fourth—The big sob scene that Bessie Love puts o\ er In the last episode. Fifth—The marvelous photography and the masterful directing. Sixth—The work of C&rlotta

Movie Verdict Circle —Am sure that ninetynine people out of every 100 will say that Richard Barthelmess is doing the best work of his career In a really great picture called, "Soul Fire.” Apollo—The hit of the show at the Apollo this week is Our Gang in "Shootin Injuns." The mechaniclal effects aid the youngsters In getting many laughs. Colonial—There will be * difference of opinion regarding the entertaining value of “The Painted Woman.” A romantic melodramatic standard must be used in measuring the worth of this movie if you want to be fair. Ohio —Richard Dix goes in for a little crooked business in "Men and Wopnen.” Robert Edeson walks away with the honors In this picture.

MODERN STAGE TENDENCY IS SEEN IN ‘PAINTED KADY’ Have the feeling that, the screen is rapidly absorbing one of the tendencies of the stage. Meaning that characters seen in “White Cargo” and "Rain” are becoming prominent on the screen. Was convinced of that after seeing George O’Brien and Dorothy Mackalll in "The Painted I,ady.” On

scenes. Driftwood characters people this story. The painted lady in questlon lives up to her title. When her paint is purchased by an understanding millionaire she knows her game, but when even a driftwood character without money tells her that he actually loves her, the woman decides to take off the paint and live a straight life or as straight as circumstances will permit. She finds happiness after her hero make mincemeat out of one of the several villains In the story. O'Brien certainly puts up a sure for real fight. This picture must be judged by the standards of romantic melodrama. It 's specaoular Including a storm at sea where two boats ram each other. There will he a difference of opinion regarding the "human auction” scene near the end of the story. But this scene although unpleasant does advance the theme It will depend upon how you regard romantio melodrama whether you get a kick out. of "The Painted Lady.” The work of Miss Mackaill and O'Brien Is satisfactory.

Then she becomes all sad and tired all over again when the man’s former childhood sweetheart lands on the scene. Os course the woman didn’t .know that the former sweetheart had married another guy. She doesn't find that out until she drives a speedy team of horses. But why tire out the horses? That I ask you. But have heart there is a real scream nt the Apollo this week. It must be Our Gang, you say. It sure is. These youngsters have been coupled up with some of the funiest mechanical effects I have seen on the screen in many months. This happens in “Shootin Injuns." You will howl at this one I am sure. I know that I yelled loud and often. Emil Seidel anil his orchestra make quite a pleasing thing out of "Palo Moon." Hill includes other musical events and a news reel. At the Apollo all week. RICHARD DIX GOES WRONG IN THIS ONE A sweet faced woman of elderly years sat near me when I visited the dhio to see Richard Dlx in "Men

the stage, I take it that "White Cargo" is more romantic melodramatic than "Rain.” In both plays the women chiefly concerned would never turn out to be Sunday school teachers. And this safely can be said of the character played by Miss Mackalll In "The Painted Lady." Interest Is not centered upon the woman but upon the melodramatic tempo of the

bad to see this actor go wrong even In a. movies story. This is not told you In any aense of finding fault. On the whole, I enjoyed this man In a movie called "Men and Women." Dlx plays the role of a man. a bank cashier, who is married to a woman who loves pretty dresses that cost more than her husband ran afford to pay. So she receives them from a friend, a man who Is the assistant cashier in the same bank with her husband. This chap speculates and wins much money. Dix gets the idea, that is the character he plays, that he can appropriate some boonds from the bank In that way he thinks he can buy smart and pretty things for his foolish little wife. Os course, he Is discovered, but the suspicion falls on the. assistant cashier. The dramatic punch comes when Dix puts on the haaidfcuffs and gives himself up. This scene is handled In fine style with Dix and Robert Edeson doing some mighty effective drsmatlo work. This Edeson man certainly knows the trick of makeup. A great artist and has been for years. Claire Adams plays the role of the silly wife and Neil Hamilton is the lad who aids another man’s wife to be more foolish. Forgot to tell you that the picture has a happy ending. The Ohio this week has a novelty in “Zowie,” a fourth dimension sort of movie called "Zowie." They give you special glasses to get special thrills. Lester Huff plays a soothing something on the organ called "Listening." Bill includes muslo by Charlie Davis orchestra, a comedy and Cy Mllders in songs.
