Crime Drives | r-pl HE drive bug for some time has been enI I | tering into the matter of law enforcement In Indianapolis. We have had booze drives, speed drives, gambling drives, round-up-the-loafers drives, and drives against distributors of campaign literature unfriendly to the city administration. Within the police department we have had frequent drives for campaign funds, nrged on by the slogan, ‘‘Get right politically/' Right now we* are having a bandit drive. We are having this bandit drive as a matter of necessity. While the police have haa their backs turned and their attentions centered on their various drives, political and otherwise, stick-up men, equipped with “highpowered black automobiles/' have been cutting such didoes that the James boys probably have turned oVer in their respective graves several times out of sheer jealousy. This drive business is the reason for the seriousness of the problem of law enforcement. The policy of concentrating during a period of time on one particular crime and the policy of running the police department on a purely political basis has caused such a'state of affairs within the department and within the community itself that it is no wonder crime is increasing. Why should one law be enforced more than another? Is one law more important than another? It is a mighty poor policy to concentrate on booze and traffic. to the exclusion of Nearly everything else. Yet that is what has been happening in Indianapolis. Now that emergency measures are being taken to put a stop to banditry, many of our citizens are predicting that bootleggers will run wild. Well, didn’t the bandits run wild while tfye police were concentrating on bootleggers'? Why not even things up a bit and devote our attention to the enforcement of laws generally ? But let’s use a little plain horse sense while doing it. Answering a Reader SREADER of The Times calls us inconsistent because we recently approved the action of Mayor Shank in taking emergency measures to stop banditry in Indianapolis,. He calls attention to the fact that on a number of occasions we have jumped with both feet, figuratively, on his honor for some of the thiijgs he has done and has not done in the city hall. “Why don’t you be consistent?” asks this •particular reader. He can’t understand why we should lambast a public official one day and praise him the next. It seems that this sort of thing just isn’t supposed to be done. If this particular individual continues to read The Times he will find a lot of this kind of inconsistency. The story is told of an editor who had charge of a paper in Indianapolis several years ago: A reporter came to him one day with the

ELL, well! Look who’s here! YY/ Our old friend, Hans Hoffmeler, of 1622 Sout Vest Streed, Is back among us.

Remember, this man is our The Times hasn’t any such category as that. We haven’t any pets. Neither have we| any blacklist. When the mayor or the Governor or thoi exalted cyclops does anything for which lye deserves-credit, the credit will be forthcoming. And when he does something for which he die-, serves criticism, we expect to be Johnny-opi-the-spot with the criticism. In fact, no one need be surprised if praise and blame should happen to show up in the same column on the same day. If that is inconsistency, make the most of it. Why Parade? mNDIAXA is not to make its annual militaristic gesture. Governor Jackson has written the War Department that there; I,' not time to arrange for observance of Defense aay, July 4. The Indiana division of the American Legion has approved the stand of the Governor, and will not observe defense day. Defense day, at best, is a futile gesture. Wearing uniforms and marching in parades adds not one whit to the patriotism of the community. It means not a single thing more than does the constant harping by some of our citizens on the fact that theyare Americans. Os course the citizens of Indiana are Americans, and of course they ane patriotic. The whole record of the State proves that. We need neither labels nor parades of uniformed men nor shouting from the housetops to tell the world where we stand. The most patriotic citizen is he who minds his own business, does his work well, and takes a normal part in the affairs of his community. We are just as suspicious of the man who is forever saying, “I am a patriotic American,” as we are of the man who is always protesting that he is honest. Both -qualities should be taken for granted. ’ Startling News IFFAIRS in a little Illinois town are be__ing investigated. Press dispatches quote the prosecuting attorney as saying: “It (referring to the town) appears to live within the laws of the State and the country, but every member of the colony claims to have the right to do just as he or she pleases, so long as he interferes with no one else’s business.” We have come to such a state of affairs that when the people of a town obey the laws, but otherwise do as they please, it is news l Someone call a horsethief detective 1

History Repeats Colby vs. Bryan. The appearance of Balnbridge Colby against William Jennings Bryan in the Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn., the evolution case, is not the first time these two have met. One of the most interesting Incidents 'in the Democratic National convention at San Francisco, in June, 1920, was when Colby debated Bryan. A wet-dry Issue was up. Bryan’e appearance was late In the day. A grekt crowd had waited long to hear the famous orator. Bryan was the program's climax. Accordingly, though Colby was well-known as high up In the Wilson administration, he was inflniteelmal as an oratorical attraction compared with the Cross-of-Gold and Crown-of-Thorns Commoner. As Bryan sat down and Colby was introduced, the audience Indicated nervousness. No one ever had been called ufcon to speak um er less favorable conditions. Thousands got up and started toward the aisles. The white-haired Colby, a man of exceptionally striking appearanoe, succeeded in halting for a moment the rußh to the exits. Those who had started out stood still. Colby began to speak in a calm, reserved, quiet manner that was the direct contrast to the fervid, vociferous Pryan. Someone in the rear yelled "louder." Colby held up his hand until the place was completely still. Then he stood silent for a few seconds more. When he continued it was in the same reserved, calm, quiet voice. He said, slowly and very distinctly; ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen, I can speak louder, if you insist. But when I am loud, I don’t think so well." The audience got the point. The subtle hit at Bryan had registered. It raised & roar of laughter. Those who were about to depart went bkek to their seats. And Colby

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

AN UNWELCOME ALIEN mOSEPH MATYAS, a Butler University student, has received order from the immigration authorities to get out of the United States by June 23. He was born in Roumania and was admitted to this country for a year under specie’ ruling. He wants tv. remrin here and finish at Butler, whei* he can grad-

uate next Jan. uary. Then he would like to go to Purdue and become a civil engineer—and an American citizen. But his year is up. He must leave, for, according to the immigra- | tjon law he is Kan unwelcome alien. Restrict ing immigration is no doubt desirable. Otherwise this country would be over-

Nelson

run with aliens, from desirable to the scum of Europe. But we restrict them more in theory than in practice. Ever} day hordes of undesirable aliens s r .cak into the country over the back fence and thro.';?h back doors. Any alien who spei ks English and can lie fluently can cross the river from Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit. A perfunctory question or two by the immigration officers at the dock and he io in. All along the Canadian border entry is easy. The immigration law Is rigorous on those who would enter through regular legal channels like Joseph Matyas. But as long as the backdoors are left wide open the entry of rascals and worse is encouraged. WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE SENATOR ROBERT I IL. MOORHEAD discussed Li I with the public service commission Friday the motor bus regulatory law passed by the last Indiana Legislature. He was the author of the act. In his opinion It was the intention of the. Legislature that the commission, in granting certificates of convenience and necessity to bus companies, take into consideration adequacy of both railroad and electric interurban servicee—as well a9 character and sufficiency of other bus service. As author of the bill, doubtless he should understand the meaning of its provisions and know what was intended. But four other Indianapolis legislators, who were 1 in the thick of the fight and discussion preceding passage of the regulatory act, disagree with his view. The showing of convenience and necessity required of petitioners to operate bus lines only refers, they believe, to other bus traffic. It Was not the intention of the Legislature that existing railroads and traction lines be considered in granting such certificates. Which is right? Who can tell when the legislative docto-s themselves disagree as to the purpose, meaning and scope of their own prescription? That is rather typical of many important measures passed by legislatures. The lawmakers themselves frequently are not certain what they are passing. Is It surprising that courts spend so much time trying to interpret legislative acts? The law is what is written in a bill hgqgna.

He introduces anew brand of fun—rolling stones — in his latest, “Seven Chances.” Ohio—Lester Huff turns the pipe organ into a wise old owl, meaning that Huff permits the organ to take on evolution and when a man is a monkey.* The hit of the bill. Circle—The music at the Circle this week is in the big hit class. Dessa Byrd permits the organ to frolic through a hit called “Oh, Katharina.” Bakaleinikoff puts the orchestra through the impressive tunes of Verdi’s "Traviata.” Miss Mary E. Case is the soloist. Colonial Movie producers found several difficulties in filming "Up the Ladder." This was first a stage play.

Graduation By Hal Cochrane Looka here, daughter, an’ looka her. son, you've finished your school, so they say. The long task of learnin' and plannln’ is done. You’re turning to work, now', from play. Os course, you are wond’rlng what future’s ahead. The channel you're takin’ is new. You’d like some advice? Well, the best to be said, is the future is all up to you. The world doesn’t owe you a living at all. Don't let that Idea get set. You'll rise to the top on your own; or you'll fall. You've got to earn what you get. The knowledge within means a whole lot without, but not without usin’ it well. The way the game's played works your salvation out, and my mean success. Who can tell? Forget you’ve been leanin’ or. others for years. Just tuck your diploma away. Step out full of fight and allay all your fears, ’cause the world's on that basis today.

BEATING THE BUGS IEATH from typhoid fever in Indiana decreased from 701 w—J in 1913 to 229 in 1922, according to the State boar*} of health. Improved public sanitation and safeguarding of water, milk and food supplies * have achieved results in reducing the typhoid toll. Not many years ago typhoid was one of the greatest scourges. Wherever people were crowded together, as in cities and army camps, the diease was liable to break out in a devastating epidemic. It was one of the leading and most dreaded causes of death. Now it has lost its evil distinction and is in a fair way to be wiped out. ' J Man is beating the bugs. He has learned how to control typhoid, yellow fever, and other scourges and how to clean out the world's great pestholes like Panama and make them habitable. It !s time, for the future of civilization depends on beating the bugs. In the last century the population of the world has doubled. In another century the pressure of population will force development of new food producing territory. The white race will be forced to subdue the uninhabited dieseaseinfested tropical jungles. Disease not climate now bars the white man from great areas of the most fertile and productive land on the globe. Victory over the tsetse fly, carrier of sleeping sickness, would open up Africa. Typhoid, yellow fever, and malaria are yielding to sanitation and preventive medicine. Is it to be doubted that bubonic plague, sleeping sickness, dysentary will also yield in time? Beating the bugs is the great game of modern civilization. farming” NOT SO ROSY F*- IARMS in Brown County (Ind.) decreased from 1,458 —— Jan. 1, 1920 to 1.323, on Jan. 1, 1925. according to statistics just compiled by the Federal census bureau. The valuation of farm lands and buildings In the county shrank $469,846 in the five years. During the period cattle and swine population also declined, apple growing fell off. The only product of Brown County farms that showed an Increase was tobacco. Last year this crop amounted to 94.970 pounds against 12.933 pounds five years ago. Perhaps the agricultural decline of that particular section of Indiana is of no special significance. The soil and topography of Brown County are not welladapted to agriculture. Its scenery arouses artistic enthusiasm, but cultivation of Its fields breaks the back of the husbandman. About all he had to show for this season's toil, even in the days of normalcy, was his callouses. But other more fertile agricultural counties in Indiana and throughout the Middle West show a similar decline. Farm valuations have decreased. There are fewer .farms and farmers. Prosperity is here, proclaim the optimists. Industry and trade are expanding. Cities are growing. Each month the automobile output establishes anew high record. Brokers, bankers and bandits are all busy. But farming Is not so rosy. Until agriculture reaches the point that it produces something besides mortgage foreclosures and sheriff's sales the country’s prosperity is built on on optical v

Huff Lets The Organ Talk On Evolution; Dessa Byrd Lets ‘Katharina’ Be Jolly

By Walter D. Hickman IN'T it goin’ to be fun when the whole world gets a talkin’ fc. J on evolution? It may be all monkey business or it may not be. A certain little town of Tennessee need not think that it has a monopoly on this evolution business. Lester Ruff lets the big organ at the Ohio that week peel off a whole lot of the Inside dope on this evo-

lution business. Huff lets the organ declare with the use of slides during his organ solo, “Any Woman," that this evolution business Is nothing but evolution. Huff admits through the organ that "I admit I don’t know much about evolution, but this I do know, that a woman can make a monkey out of a man any time she wants to.” And that being

that there Is no need for waiting for the jury to try a school prof. Huff with his little “intime” (my own idea) organ comedy talks (Huff really doesn’t talk at all but makes the organ so human that It talks) is really turning out each week a sort of a musical digest. This week at the Ohio Huff has a real nifty. Mighty good fun. In telling you about Alice Terry in “Any Woman,” I don’t know just where to begin. Alice as a girl who is trained to he a snob at a fashionable girl’s school In Paris. On returning to her home she finds that her father Is broke. She goes to work and discovers that some men who have large offices at times permit pleasure and fun to take the place of blusiness. In the end Alice marries a nice looking chap with no money while her bosses in the office decide to stay at the side of their own wives. Not a bad idea, either. “Any Woman” is Just another picture. Bill includes orchestral music and a comedy, "Wild Papa." At the Ohio all week. •I- ’l' -IWANT TO BE JOLLY? THEN CALL ON DESSA BYRD. Have a hunch if you want to be Jolly these warm days, then drop in at the Circle this week and hear Dessa Byrd play that nifty, "Oh, Katharina.” Here is a jolly little thing that took a Russian troupe to get this country acquainted with It. Aa an organ solo. Miss Byrd again proves that a pipe organ can be just as funny as Ed Wynn or A1 Jolson ever dared to be. This little ditty is about a man who after visiting the Follies and

seeing the dollies there, .told his "wife, Lena, to go Into a gym and get "leaner.” He decides that his wife is a whole party herself. Misa Byrd tantalizes the organ into all kinds of funny sounds. She is aided with some funny slides thrown on t the screen. The audierice is Invited to help out in the fun. Here is fine melodious fun although the day is

Those who like opera and the more serious music will be delighted with the way Bakaleinikoff has worked out “Travl&ta” by Verdi, as an overture. The orchestra plays and then the curtains part and Mary E. Case, soprano appears aa soloist. Here is an Intelligent and a pleasing way to present better music. In the past months we have seen and heard Bakaleinikoff and the Circle orchestra rlee to great hqgghts of worth

while melody. This week is no exception. Milton Sills In “I Want My Man” is called upon in the first few reels to play the role of a man who was blinded for seven years. This happened during the war In Europe. Such a role is a difficult one for the best of actors. Not that Sills can not handle this sort of thing as well as the other best actors, but the trouble is that we know he will be cured. While sightless, our hero marries a girl! his nurse, after he believes that her face was disfigured during the war. But in fact she is as pretty as a peach, especially since she is played by Doris Kenyon. The wife leaves her husband while he returns to the wealthy home of his parents in New York. The wife under an assumed name is able to be the nurse to the Invalid mother of our hero. The idea, is to win the love of her husband on her own merits and not on sympathy. The idea does not screen well. More action is needed. The novel, "The Interpreter’s House,” was considered alright but it misses fire on the screen. Have your own idea about this one. Bill Includes a comedy, "Baby Blues,’ ’a news reel and a Felix Kat Kartoon.

sure has action in this comedy, because he Is chased by several hundred women who want to marry him. The story in a nutshell Is this: Keaton is seen as a chap who must marry before the clock strikes seven at night. And that is q, whole year's work in itself. After throwing away seven chances, a newspaper carries the story asking that women who want to marry a fortune (If Keaton doesn't marry in a day’s time he loses a fortune) to show up jvith their veils on at a certain church. This situation results in the ex-

Ft. Worth Has Manager

Bii Tlmru Svrrinl FT. WORTH, Texas, June 15. Citizens of Ft. Worth expect to secure business-like city administration through city manager form of municipal government. New form of government went Into effect June 1 with O. Carr, formerly of Dubuque, lowa, as city manager. Carr, who was selected from group of five experts because of his record, will receive yearly salary of $15,000. I Position Honorary Positions of councilmen and mayor are honorary. Nine business men were elected to the council and the council In turn elected H. C. Meachan mayor. Meachan was active In the Citizens Association which was instrumental In securing an election on the new type of government. Election carried by a big majority. Campaign for the, city manager form wa* started by civic leaders after the municipal government ran up an overdraft of approximately $1,500,000 through political mismanagement.

pected movl© chase. It is here that trick photography (guess I am right) is used to great advantage. The effect Is to get the audience nearly hysterical with laughter as Keaton dodges both big rocks and many women. Don't get worried, Keaton is able to marry the right girl a. few seconds before the clock strikes seven. The comedy is mechanical, but effective. Probably will be considered Keaton's best, if not one of his best. Bill includes a news reel, orchestra music by Emil Seidel and his orchestra; organ music by Earl Gordon, and, Dorsey, Kaehn and Pelletier in songs.
