Thomas Riley Marshall mNDIANA has suffered a great loss in the death of one of its most distinguished eitizens, Thomas Riley Marshall, war-time Vice President of .the United States. Marshall was a man of keen insight and unfusual ability. His one greatest failing was that his unusual modesty sometimes prevented him from realizing the extent of his own ability. It is sometimes said that a man is buried in the vice presidency, but this was not true of Marshall. During his eight years as president of the Senate he was an outstanding figure in Washington. His keen humor, his likable personality and his ability made him thousands of friends. , * Marshall was Tn old-fashioned Hoosier. H4s- tastes were ‘umple and his ideas for the most part sound. He had a happy faculty of summing up what he had to say in epigrammatic form. Sometimes his sarcasm was biting, but he was never malicious. He never took himself too seriously and he did not like to see others overestimate their own importance. He became Governor of Indiana under trjring circumstances necessitating solution of important questions of public policy. His terms as? Vice President also were particularly trying, with the United States at war and with the President for a time at death’s door. But through it all he kept his head and achieved ant enviable record. : The feeling of sorrow over his death knows net party nor State lines. The Nation mourns its lo|s. Taking the Air Out of Aircraft pT"|O our eyes deceive us or can it be that at L/ last we are really to reach the end of oitt* perennial aircraft scandal? i For some years now there has been far mare “air” than aircraft in this country, as onjfc congressional investigation has succeeded another. Now, it appears, a committee of Congress plans to recommend that a competent hoard of engineers be appointed to clear up the muddle and outline a program for us to follow. This board, we understand, is to he composed of experts of such high standing and known disinterestedness that its finding can not be questioned. This paper welcomes the news. We have long advocated just such a step and for several reasons. In the first place if the country is to have adequate national defense, it must have an adequate air force. Aircraft will play a far bigger role in the next war,'both on land and sea, than it did in the last. In the second place it is perfectly plain that something is the matter with our aviation. Just what is wrong is not quite so clear. But we can, and should, find out. The way to find out, however, is not the way Cong) e>,s has gone about it thus far. Some of the investigations have had politics, not the truth about aviation, as their objective. Others have merely given a chance to aircraft enthusiasts, or aircraft scoffers, to' parade their

The Difficult Business of Our Own

by N. D. Cochran (< HEN President Coolidge said ] I I in eeffct that the people could 1 Jbe left in full enjoyment of their natural liberties, unhampered by governmental restrictions, if they would adopt a thorough system of self-government, he said what is true. It would be very simple if only the people could adopt a thorough system of self-government. A story was told in the old days of Ireland’s struggle for liberty about an Irishman who came to this country and became rich. For many years he was a regular and liberal contributor to funds Intended to help free Ireland. - After his death his son kept up the contributions, although he had been born in this country and had never visited, the land of his fathers. Finally, however, he visited Ireland. Being curious as to how the cause, to which his father had so long contributed and to which he himself had given liberally, was coming along he asked questions. Gives the Reason One old tad in the village in which the young man’s father had been born got confidential when pressed tp tell why Ireland didn’t go ahead and get free, and* said : “Whisht, we’ve got tin thousand ayans hid away in the County Cork and tin thousand brave lads to handle ’em. We got five thousand gups hid away in the County Galway and five thousand brave lads to shoot ’em. We got tin thousand . . .” and so on pretty well over the country. When hp .had heard all this the Irish-American said: “Well, if you've got all those guns

wildest hopes, fears and opinions as scientific facts. During the World War the country called to its aid its best scientific brains to help win it. Thomas Edison and scores of others were conscripted. If our understanding of Avhat the latest congressional committee has in mind is correct, then some such solution to the aircraft puzzle is now intended. If so, more power to the committee’s elbow. An Official Religion? I ANY thinking people see a serious menace to our liberty in the Tennessee law that forbids the teaching of anything except the Biblical story of creation in the public schools of that State. They see the beginning of a State religion and the end of freedom to worship God in one’s own way. The very first clause in the very first amendment to the United States Constitution read: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Without this and the remainder of the first ten amendments, the people of America would not have accepted the Constitution. That is the statement of every historian. The people were resolved to he free and they knew that when* Church and State combine, freedom departs. Says the Chicago Tribune: “The Tennessee law is a reversal of a fundamental principle of American liberty, the separation of church and state. The American people, if they have any true appreciation of their heritage of freedom, will not be confused by the religious issue raised between ‘fundamentalists’ or advocates of literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, and those, in the churches and out, who do not hold to literalism. This is an issue of religious doctrine, and in the American system has no place in the domain of government. This distinction is of highest importance that our people shall comprehend unless they are willing to return to the dark era of religious intolerance and war.” No less concerned is the New York World. It says: “That this Tennessee law marks a successful effort to establish fundamentalism as the State religion of Tennessee there is no doubt. The indictment of John T. Scopes sets fort-h that he tauglit ‘in the public school of Rhea County, Tenn., which public school is supported in part and in whole by the public school fund of the State, certain theory and theories that deny the story of the Divine creation bf man, as taught in the Bible.’ If this is in accordance with the Constitution of Tennessee and of the Constitution of the United States, then there is no reason why the same fundamentalist majority should not declare next that no man may hold office in Tennessee who does not accept literally the account of creation in Genesis, or that no man shall do business in Tennessee who does not accept it. Once the State has officially adopted an item in the creed of' a religious sect and placed behind that doctrine the police power of the State there is no reason to prevent it making a thorough job of it. There is no reason why it should not ordain that no marriage is legal unless consecrated by a minister who rejects the theory of evolution.”

and all those brave lads to handle them, why in the dickens don’t you get busy and free Ireland?’’ The old tad leaned toward his visitor and in a voice almost as low as a whisper replied: “The police won’t let us!" And that’s the main trouble with carrying out the Coolidge plan, of self-government In this country—the police and the reformers won't let us. Os course that isn’t the only trouble about it. Another is that we don’t know how to govern ourselves. Besides, we haven’t the time. We acquired habits during the early colonial history that are hard to shake—the habit of governing the

lives and conduct of others. That habit has become a national pastime. The biologists might call it an acquired characteristic. There is so much we must unlearn before we learn new tricks of government. Os course, if each of us would start on himself and get almighty busy governmenting himself he might become expert enough to start in on his neighbors. Or, if his neighbors would only be accommodating enough to do as we tell them to do, then we might have time to get busy on ourselves. As it is, however, the darned thing’s too mixed up for us to step right out of the tangle and mind our own business.

Mr. Longsdale Makes Certain Demands; Snappy Hot Weather-Variety Bills Here

By Walter D. Hickman |~U MART dirt might be a good I 1 definition of Frederick 1 I Longsdale's, "Spring Cleaning." Am not so wild over dirt unless it is the human kind and for the life of me I am not wild over the brand Mr. Longsdale hands out. It is essentially the theatrical kind not the human brand. Will admit

"Spring Cleaning" is beautifully written from a st a nVi p o int of •stage mechanics although the oubject matter concerns certain brands of social degenerates. In a nut shell. the story concerns the efforts of an au-thor-husband, who attempts to shame his wife of companions who are a bunch of social rotters. To do this, the husband

mm

Martha Morton

picks up a street walker and seats hsr at the table In his own home while his wife was entertaining a bunch of her social moral weaklings, at a late dinner. The guests were "shocked" to rub elbows with a professional "lady” of the streets. They were horrified to be compared as amateurs. The husband wins his purpose and the wife sees the light. This same story has been done In the movies under another name. This is a difficult play to cast because types are needed. The two great outstanding hits of the Berkell production of "Spring Cleaning." at English's this week are registered by Martha Morton as Mona, the street walker, and by Tommy Evans as Ernest Steele, who specializes in making /lavenport companions of other men's wives. A cad role, to Se sure, but Evans elevates the charts 2ter from a dramatic-comedy standpoint until you arrive at the conclusion that one could tplerate this rotter. Evans does one of the finest pieces of work, regardless of the nature of the characterization, that the Berkell Players have revealed this year. The same may be said of the realistic work of Martha Morton in the dinner scene. She dresses the character right. In registering the effective things of this stock production let me stress importance on the two stage sets used, especially the dining room scene. The production is so good from a scenic standpoint that it looks like a road show production. , On the other hand, some of the aictors were not well cast. Milton Byron is all out Os his element as the author-husband. When I saw the show on Sunday night, Byron was so hopelessly confused in hla lines and was prompted so often that every punch the author Intended was completely lost. Byron plays the role too slow. This character is not a slow dumbora. He Is a man who has enough vision to play the last card In order to save his wife Os course, by this time all forgetfulness of his lines should be eliminated. But on the opening performance. Byron didn't come within a mile of giving a convincing characterization. Edythe Elliott dresses her role of the wife In grand style but the cramped and uncertain method used by Byron damaged to some extent the effective work of Miss Elliott In the big scenes. The wow comedy role is that of Bobble Williams, one of those things who should have a "Miss" added infront of his name. The character is a hopeless mess, but would get laughs if properly handled. Larry Sullivan plays at. this role as If he was ashamed of the whole business and I don’t blame him one bit. Cast includes Robert St. Clair, Idabelle Arnold, Mary Hill, A1 C. Wilson, Bob Fay and May Wilson (wrongly cast). The success of "Spring Cleaning" depends entirely upon how Milton Byron comes out of his kinks and I think he has enough showmanship in him to round out a satisfactory performance. V At English’s all week. • • • WE SI RE ARE TELLING YOU ABOUT A GREAT ACT Are you fed up on these vaudeville dance acts? But wouldn’t you like to see one that was a little faster, a little different; with a little more “kick" than the ones you see most every week? Then I think you will like the dance revue of Lafayette and Delfino at the Palace the first half of the week. It is far more interesting than most of these vaudeville revues. Although the principals are vary good at their style of dancing, which consists mostly of the woman’s running jumps Into her partner’s arms, credit for the act must go to their excellent support. Eileen' Dee Cee is a cute little thing with an abundance of pep and jazz dancing ability. In her contortionistic dance she throws herself in and out of splits and twists and back breaking poses with a terrible disregard for the safety of life and limb. All her work is done with surety and speed. Easily the personal hit of the bill. Aquinaldo’a Argentine Serenaders (some of their instruments were marked ‘‘Filipino’’) play entrancing music on mandolin, guitar and banjo, accompanying the dancers as well as offering specialties of their own. The act is nicely mounted and staged. If Lafayette and Delflno would select another closing num-. her instead of the much abused "Apache’’ this act would be a perfect vaudeville revue, to.my way of thinking'. Jack Lavier is back. In case you do no remember, Lavier is the redheaded fellow who hao so much trouble getting on and staying on his trapein One of vaudeville’s finest com* dli ns. ’ The I.ante Gray players offer a playlet caUd "The Alibi.” They need one. This play Is unpleasant, unreal and uninteresting. Earl Bronson and Irene Renee offer a breezy little act of the “piano and song and talk" variety. Jahrl and George open the show with saxophone and accordion music., v -Chet tnovie feature is a James

(By Observer. •I* -I* -I* AND A PLEASANT AFTERNOON WAS HAD I am one guy in the world that has to go to a show. Am not kicking, you know, because the actors, the orchestra, the ushers have to be there, too. And an audience always makes up Its mind that it has business in a theater, regardless of the temperature outside. And that was my thought when I journeyed to the Lyric yesterday afternoon. And I am sure that all had a pleasant afternoon, including the actors. The strength of this bill rests In its comedy dancing acts. They include: Burke, Walsh and Nana—Here is an eccentric dancing act along tap dancing lines that registers with ease. The two men are good dancers and the woman sets a rapid pace for the other two members of the act. Good act. c Doreen Sisters—Not along comedy lines, but the girls know how to handle their feet. Understand that this is European act. Six Anderson Sisters—This act is essentially musical, with a fine blending of violin and flute as well as

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

A SPORTING EVENT mOHN THOMAS IhaW. colored, of Indianapolis, has been twice tried on charges of murdering an Indianapolis young woman. The jury in the second trial at Martinsville hopelessly disagreed Saturday after two days’ deliberation. He will be tried a third time, the prosecutor announced. Eighteen months ago the lifeless body of the murdered woman

was found on the outskirts of the city. Shortly afterwards Shaw was arrested and charged with the crime. He was tried 1 n Marion County. Twelve good men and true heard the evidence, largely circumstantial, and returned a verdict of guilty after a short deliberation. The Supreme Court or-

I

dered anew trial. The second trial took place. Twelve good men and true of Morgan County listened to the same evidence that seemed conclusive to the Marion County jury—and disagreed. The case is Just where it was eighteen months ago. Trial by jury is our most cherished institution. But even a* best juries are uncertain. A and when coupled with the quibbling and Jockeying of lawyers permitted by our courts, important criminal trials are little more than sporting events—games of chance. FOR BETTER , HOMES mHE biennial council of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs opens today at West Baden, Ind. Prominent women, representing the 2,300,000 members of the 15,000 clubs in the organization, are in attendance. In outlining the activities of this great organization. *the president said: "Our new and biggest job is to hatoe. the standard of the American home and make people of every community recognize the home as the basis of our .national life.” The home is receving lots of attention. Public agencies, organizations, uplift movement, and freelance uplifters devote much time discussing improvement of the home and family life. With all this organized effort the American home ought to be better than ever. But the contrary is true, as all the uplifters lament. In a previous generation the home was more than a word in a sentimental ditty. Founded solidly on cast-iron hitching posts, haircloth sofas, woodsheds and family prayers, It was actually the basis of national life. Men and women then didn’t talk so much about making homes —they were too busy making 'em. Perhaps now the home to being talked to death. Possibly It would be better if there wasn't so much collective uplifting of it and more individual attention to individual homes. A better home is made at home not on a convention platform. THE LOST~ CAUSE SHE Southern Club of Indianapolis held memorial services Saturday at the v Confederate monument in honor of the 1,616 Southern soldiers who died in Indianapolis during the Civil War: Outwardly it was not an Impressive service.

They sing and wink up with their reliable plantation camp meeting stunt. The beginning of the act Is awkward, but they should have no trouble in ironing that out. Three Aces and a Queen have an aerial offering which holds people in their seats. A real act of its kind. Comedy material that pleases easily is offered by Lea Francis and George Hume in "Knickerbockers. ’’ Hume has that personality comedy way about him that makes him stand out as one of the winners on the bill.

During the past week-end 130,000 visitors in countless thousands of motor cars packed Indianapolis, Traffic in the ordinarily congested downtown streets and main arteries leading in and out of town snorted and jammed hub to hub, while at every intersection pedestrians swarmed. Yet not a serious automobile accident occurred in the city. Why were eight motorists killed on open country roads and none In crowded Indianapolis? In the congested city danger was so apparent drivers were alert. On country roads they opened throttles and closed their eyes—with fatal consequences.

Fashion By Hal Coclrrnn Lissen here, Fashion, just what have you done? How far will you go? Is your work just begun? We really can’t tell what we ought to 1 expect, when already a lot of our old ways are wrecked. It’s likely you know that most people will fall for the things you suggest, though they're based upon gall. Through clothes that we’re wearing we’ve suddenly found that the ways of us all have been turned all around. The men folks, for Instance, once dressed very tame. Their trousers were tight. To their ankles they came. And then you decreed that the style wasn’t sound. Now they look like balloons and they drag on the ground. The girls of today also fell in your trap. Their old modest ways must be taking a nap. A lot of new dresses were suddenly made which resulted in knees being put on parade. You're taking the sweetness away from the girls. You're making the men seem they ought to wear curls. Y’our game Is all right till you let It get rough. Say, lissen here Fashion, you've gone far enough. OTHER ATTRACTIONS Other theaters today offer: "Soul Fire" with Richard Barthelmess at the Circle; "The Tenth Woman" at the Apollo; ‘The Painted Woman" at the Colonial, "Men and Women" at the Ohio and "The Fighting Demon" at the Isis.

They should be taken up in the summer after the leaves have turned brown, and placed where the atmosphere is cool and slightly moist. When it is convenient break the bulblets apart. They naturally break apart very easily. Plant them in the fall, during October, usually in good garden soil, well drained, from two to five inches deep, depending upon the size of the bulb. Who was the first Egyptian King? According to Greek authors, as well as according to the Egyptian list of kings, the first king who ruled over the Nile valley was Menes, called Mena in Egyptian. His family came from Teni, a spot in middle Egypt, which formed a certain religious center of the kingdom dpwn to a late period. Menes was the founder of the so-called First Dynasty of Egypt (4400-4133 B. C.) Tradition represents him as the builder of the great city of Memphis.
