The League’s Chance STTB commencement of hostilities between Greece and Bulgaria presents the League of Nations with the cleanest cut opportunity it has yet had to prevent war. Both nations belong to the League. The League not only has jurisdiction but is in ideal position to enforce its laws. Considerable prestige, therefore, is to be won or lost by the way the conflict is handled. The League, however, will not And its task easy. General Pangolos’ reputation is already known to readers of this newspaper. A veritable fire-eater, he would just a little bit rather go to war than not. In fact, he recently seized the power because he considered his predecessors in office, the Colonels Gonatas and Plastiras, had whalebone for spinal columns instead of ramrods. General Pangalos has pined for war ever since Turkey seized, sacked and burned Smyrna following the Greek debacle in Asia Minor. He has insisted that the Greek army was not beaten in the field, but that it was stabbed in the back by corrupt swivel-chair bureaucrats back home in Ajhens. The prestige of the Greek arms was trailed in the dust and the general has constantly pined for a chance to redeem it. When the Greek church patriarch was expelled from Constantinople about a year ago, General Pangalos was generalissimo of the army. lie strode up and down the banks of the Maritza separating the Greeks from the Turks, like a man-eating leopard on a leash. He was rearin ’ to go. Because Gonatas and Plastiras held him back, he awaited his chance and overthrew their government, placing himself at its head. So Dictator Pangalos will not now yield to the League’s first suggestion of peace. It may have to use strong medicine. It can, and should. Greece is broke. She cannot fight without arms and money. If necessary a blockade could prevent either reaching her. Bulgaria is both broke and unarmed. She cannot make war without defying the League and that is out of the question. Russia might sell her arms but the Black Sea is the only open road between the two countries and half a dozen destroyers could easily close that. The paddle of discipline decidedly is in the League’s hands. It is high time these pestiferous Balkan countries were administered a lesson and for once in their history sent supperless to bed. Dead at the Wheel LOCOMOTIVE engineer dropped dead ___ the other day add the train ran on a distance afterwards ascertained to have been fifteen miles, before the fireman discovered what had happened and took his place at the throttle. Nothing happened and no harm was done, except to the dead engineer. If the same thing had happened to an automobile driver, disaster would have followed in less than a second. This illustrates a difference between the risks of automobile and locomotive driving. And yet we will not let a man drive a locomotive unless he is demonstrated to be much more than an ordinary man. He must be experienced, skilled, tested, intelligent, responsible and sober. Anybody can get an automobile license
WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW Anderson Uses Modern Paint in ‘Dark Laughter’
By Walter D. Iliclunhn rr-VI ODERN word painting—a M sling here, a dab there, and ** J then a mountain of thought —is what Sherwood Anderson indulges in in "Dark Daughter.” This new Anderson novel is what might be called "modern thought” where a spade is call led a spade. Anderson to many in this book may prove to be genius at word painting. lie is daring, but his deductions are accurate. Tliere seems to be a sort of an “Emperor Jones” atmosphere in this book. The continual beating of the drum of despair as well as the one of longing is felt here. What is sex? Is it mental or physical? Is sex experience just a drama of ideas. In a peculiar modern fashion, Anderson gets hold of many emotions of men and women, weaves them Into a fabric for creating thought. You get more of the mental makeup of the chief characters than their physical beings. Their desires do not seem to rest in any one body, but rather seem to be universal to certain types. Concerning Bruce In Bruce Dudley, the author draws a character who seems to symbolize a eltuation. His wife is an author, not a wife and a mother to him. He indulges in the mental pastime of trying to decide in just what she is Interested. He is not worried as he Eout of the house and goes on onal excursion in search of adventure. rriveftn a town where things
who has the price of a second-hand car. Many drivers could not qualify for . a position as street car motorman, to say nothing of locomotive engineer. Few of them drop dead at the wheel, though even that sometimes happens. But many of them are dead, congenitally, in most of the qualifications of responsibility and caution. The wonder is that our streets are as safe as they are. The Wages of Death mP all the aviators in the United States, Army, Navy, Marine and commercial, were to go on strike, demanding a 10 per cent wage increase, the sympathy of the whole country would be with them. They are entitled to any pay they may ask, we would say, because of the dangerous nature of their work. There is another class of workers who daily risk their lives. Great numbers of them are killed at their work and much greater numbers are maimed for life. The last official monthly report* concerning them told that 195 were killed during August this year, a smaller number than the average for August in the past ten years. The workers referred to are coal miners. Forty-six of those killed in August worked in the anthracite field of Pennsylvania. That was an average of about two miners a day killed there, considering the number of days worked. The average, in fact, has been about two a day over a period of years. But there is nothing spectacular or thrilling about an anthracite miner. He doesn’t go up into the air to get killed; he goes down into the ground. He doesn’t meet his Maker filled with zest of high adventure and the swift romance' of modern existence. He meets in a murky pit out of the sight of those he serves. Unless a dozen or more of his kind are obliterated at the same time, his death is not a matter even for newspaper notice. The anthracite miners are asking for a 10 per cent pay increase. •Bureau of Mines, U. S. Department of Commerce.
Two Senators SHE Department of Justice of the United States of America decided to prosecute certain citizens on charges of conspiring to defraud the Government of public lands. Some of these citizens had been trying to get oil lands in Montana. The Department of Justice found that a certain United States Senator had once been attorney for one of the men who wanted to get the oil lands. So it indicted the Senator on a charge of conspiracy. Some of our other citizens wanted to get hydroelectric power sites in Arizona. The Department of Justice/found that the wife and the son and the secretary of a certain United States Senator were among the persons who had laid claim to the government’s power sites. But it didn’t indict that Senator for conspiracy. It didn’t say anything about him. Why? The first Senator was Burton K. Wheeler, the man who exposed conditions in the Department of Justice. The second Senator was Ralph H. Cameron who hasn’t yet exposed anything.

At first the conquest is not definite as the woman, a married woman, has had certain mental experiences in Paris before her marriage to a wealthy man.

When she created the way for Bruce to come into her own personal life. Then she left with Bruce. The husband in the case then knew the meaning of dark laughter. For Discussion "Dark Daughter” is a challenge to mental thought today. It will bring you back to Walt Whitman and bis idea of life. It is a searching digfest of the mental self that seems to be a different somebody within the body of a person. There will be those who will <*all “Dark Daughter” a masterpiece. It is conceded that Anderson has done a very brave and daring thing, this turning inside out the hidden mental thought of strange desires and emotions. At times it is so gigantic that it is staggering. • The reading public will decide whether ‘‘Dark Daughter” is a masterpiece by determining whether it will live for year,/. Those who the surface of thought desires
will marvel at the naturalness of this book. That fact remains .that “Dark Daughter,” published by Boni & Liveright and selling for $2.50, will be the book of the year that challenges most discussion.

A Sermon for Today
Text: “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another.”—Eph. 4:32. K| INDNESS, tenderheartedness, forgiveness. To some it may v__J seem almost absurd to talk about these exalted graces having any place in business relations. Business is regarded as heartless and cold-blooded. In the fierce competition of business men stand over against each other like gunboats, carrying deadly missiles. This is all wrong, as we can easily see from the withering and blighting influence it has upon the lives of men engaged in business. Os course, fair, honest and open competition is legitimate. Rivalry in business is a wholesome stimulus, provided it is controlled by a spirit of mutual consideration. Henry Ward Beecher said, “The supreme art of life above all other arts Is the art of living together justly and charitably.” This is an art every man in business should learn. The model business man is he, who in the din and battle of market and street, knows how to bear himself toward his fellows with justice, charity and kindness. If you want to maintain that kind of relation with your fellows, learn how to carry on your business without creating discord and without giving
RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON
A PRIVATE ELECTION Glican city chairman, Mon- ___ day submitted to the Indianapolis city council a list of precinct voting place for the municipal election Nov 3. Prevlqusly he had furnished the same body with his approved list of election inspectors. Isn’t it nice of the chairman to attend to all the details of arranging the election machinery? Otherwise the councilmen, burdened with large official duties, might have been caught unawares by the election, and without having made adequate preparations for the event. A gentleman from Mars sojourning in our midst would easily get the impression that the municipal election is a private party- promoted, staged and controlled by the Republican city chairman. The simple voter, of course, does not care who selects the polling places. His only concern is that\ they be conveniently and centrally located. His only concern about election Inspectors is that they be fair, competent and impartial. The self-crowned bosses have other fish to fry. They are interested in the election machinery not to assure an impartial verdict of the ballots but to serve themselves. Both candidates for mayor talk, long, loud and convincingly to conducting municipal affairs on a business basis for the benefit of every citizen and taxpayer. Each promises a thorough business administration. The Republican city chairman isn’t making any public addresses but he, too, is endeavoring to couple business and the city administration. Only he, like other partisan bosses, wo' ks to make the administration his business. How is the public likely to benefit from such a wedding of city affairs and business?
A PRISON EPIDEMIC SHREE inmates of the Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton have typhoid fever. Authorities at the institution do not fear an epidemic of the disease will occur, but are taking all precautions to control the situation. A disease epidemic at this State penal institution would doubtless run a spectacular course, with consequences unpleasant to contemplate. The Reformatory is overcrowded. It has 648 cells and now houses 1,579 men. Each cell holds two inmates, and the remainder of the prisoners who can not be accommodated thus are hung up in the corridors or in temporary quarters. Conditions complicate the institution's sanitary problems and favor the spread of disease. A few energetic typhoid or other virulent germs turned loose in such congestion would have a gay time and cause havoc. They would surely but unsatisfactorily reduce the overwerowding. Typhoid flourishes best where people are crowded together with inadequate sanitary provisions. It has always been most conspicuous in Army camps, boom towns and overloaded prisons. But now its ravages can be surely prevented by inoculation. Yet, despite the proved efficacy of this preventive method, prisoners are admitted to Pendleton In their raw state, even though they may be typhoid carriers, and are not compelled to undergo inoculation against typhoid. That’s encouraging an epidemic. If a man can’t break into the Army to serve his country without first being inoculated against typhoid, it seems equally sensible to compel Inoculation of Reformatory recruits before they serve their sentences. It ought to be made as difficult for an epidemic to get into prison as for a bandit. anything” WITH A KICK (APT. WILLIAM PATJXr SEDD of the police prohibltlon squad, complains that the earnest drinkers of Indianapolis are foiling prohibition sleuths by getting drunk on a nonalcoholic beverage—with a reverberating kick—compounded of a soft drink and a certain headache tablet.

offense. Abraham Lincoln said on one occasion, “Gentlemen, so long as I have been in the White House I never wilingly planted a thorn In any man’s bosom.” Let every business man follow this rule, and how much ill-feeling and heart aching will be spared. Never willingly give offense. Don’t be a knocker. I despise to hear a fellow knocking his competitors. If your competitor knocks you, and you want to heap coals of Are on his head, the best way to do it Is to forgive him and show him some kindness. Don’t be like one old man, who became offended with a business competitor. This old man was taken sick and the doctor said he was going to die. His competitor called to see him and said, “My neighbor, I don’t want you to die feeling hard toward me and I have come to ask you to forgive me.” The old man replied, “Well, If I die, I forgive you, but if I live, I don’t.” If you want to get along and be happy in your business life, cultivate the forgiving spirit, be kind and tenderhearted toward your competitors, deal justly and charitably with them, and give them the same consideration that you would have them give you.

tion charge. So the imbiber can twiddle his nose at the Eighteenth Amendment and the bone-dry statute. Wet advocates, particularly the tearful friends of light wines and beer, claim that alcoholic beverages are drunk mainly for the sake of the palate and conviviality. They say few really drink to get drunk. The whole record of drinking in this country since prohibition belies their statements. Most people drink brewed, distilled and fermented liquors because of the kick. Deprived of recognized alcoholic drinks considerable numbers have turned joyfully to lemon extract, hair tonic, varnish, canned heat, and gasoline—none of which can be considered pleasing to the palate or convivial beverages. Anything with a kick is their motto. Legalizing sale of light wines and beer would not solve our prohibition problem. Such drinks have no kick. They would fall as flat, to the ambitious thirsts of this country, as the Canadian four by four beer—which tastes all right but doesn't Jolt the consumer.
HUNTERS AND QUARRY VERETT NESTER, 28, was killed while hunting the i—— other day; a w r idow and four children survive him. As he entered his automobile at the conclusion of his sport the lock of his shotgun caught on the door and was discharged. That was the second fatal hunting accident in Marion County in less than a week. A few days before, Raymond Sheid was shot by a companion, who was attempting in haste to slay a rabbit. Throughout the State a half dozen hunters have been seriously wounded or killed in the past week. As usual, in a brisk hunting season, hunters with distressing frequency are proving their own best quarry. There is nothing new about hunting accidents—except in the persons called upon to bear the resultant grief. The accident themselves are all of two types—both preventible. Either the hunter is shot by an excited companion being mistaken for a squirrel, rabbit, or whatnot—or careless handling of his own weapon tears him .asunder. Asa sport hunting is popular, healthful and profitable. The game is not necessary as a solution of the problem of the high cost of living. Food may be purchased more cheaply at a corner grocery or one-arm restaurant. But shooting rabbits is likely to be more beneficial to a sportsman than shooting Kelly pool. However a shotgun is a brainless creature easily irritated. It would just as soon blow a hole through its owner or an innocent bystander as to puncture a squirrel or the atmosphere. Unless treated with profound respect and handled carefully it may bag a hunter—game not usually considered edible.

The wreck to which you refer occurred on July 15, 1864, at King and Fuller’s cut, four miles east of Dackawaxen, Pennsylvania. A train carrying about 800 Confederate prisoners of war ran Into a coal train, due to the carelessness of the telegraph operator, who was intoxicated at the time. It was a head-on collision where the track could be seen for only a short distance ahead, and both trains were under speed. Fifty-one Confederate soldiers and nineteen Union soldiers were killed, one hundred twenty-three were Injured, some of whom died of their wounds. The wreck created a great deal of comment at the time. The telegraph operator was released, but public opinion was so much aroused that he disappeared from the locality.

Mr. Garrity and Mr. Mulligan Drive the Gorilla Out Into Audience at English’s
By Walter D. Hiclunan f“ \ GORILLA is jumping from I A the stage of English’s right I-'**’l down into the audience this week. Mr.’Mulligan and Mr. Garrity. brother detectives as they exist in the books and on the stage, are responsible for this deed. Am speaking of "The Gorilla,” a comedy drama which spilled the
chills and the laughs all over the stage at English’s last night. Here is a play that out thrills even “Tht Bat” and all others of this class. Where “The Bat” thrilled and tricked you into submission, “The Gorilia” thrills you and then makes you laugh It off. It .would be all wrong to tell you the story because two-thirds of the fun is caused by not being wise. Enough to say that Mr.
Elizabeth Carmichael
Garrity and his side kick, Mr. Mulligan are two of the funniest characters *hat the stage has had for several seasons. These two are not detectives as they are in real life but a playwright's conceptirn of what happens in story land. Oh, yes, you see the gorilla. He even comes out into the aisles. Then everybody screams. The cast is as good as the play, meaning that everyone is adequate. The stage effects and tricks are the things that count. You can have this tip. First Act — You get all thrilled at the prospect of seeing the gorilla. Then people disappear. Second Act—Some who vanish appear. Strange things happen. Baughs and more laughs. Thrills, hokum and everything. Third Act —More thrills, screams, more of the gorilla and then the climax. Then the words “Come sweetheart and get something nice to eat.” Don Hascall is wonderful as Mr. Mulligan and Henry T. Shannon is just as fine as Mr. Garrity. Here is a clever team. The only woman in the cast is Elizabeth Carmichael as Alice Denby. All of the cast is good. The audience was a gay and large one last night. Delegates to a convention or something like that gave cheers for Senator Watson and Mayor Shank, who were in different boxes. Both responded by rising. Mayor Shank led the audience in years for those who cheered him. See “The Gorilla.” It is the real goods. At English’s all week. -I- -!- -IDANCING AND COMEDY HOLD FORTH AT KEITH'S
William* and Joe Mandel are eocentric comedians who operate along Individual lines. They go in for eccentric makeup. They do a high class burlesque upon a gymnastic act and then taper off with a travesty upon a classical dance. These men are naturally funny, and they do not overdo the eccentric part of the act. They also lend their assistance to William Demarest and Estelle Collette as the closing act. Demarest and Collette are musicians. The man playing the cello and the woman the violin. The man clowns a good deal, and this gives them chance to do a little afterpiece as a part of their act. Bert Errol is an English impersonator from the Dondon music halls. He appears both as a man and as a woman. His “female” voice Is of a high register. He doesn’t burlesque the Idea too much. His wife dances In his act. A rather legitimate piece of work. R. Fowler is at the piano. Billy Hallen has his own way of telling stories and putting over his comedy. He is a hit because he has a natural way in developing his comedy. He pleases with ease. The sketch on the bill Is “The Mahatma,” a comedy In two scenes, dealing with a fortuiy teller who didn’t get to tell a fortune. Herbert

And a very beaulful and Impressive rendition of this wonderful piece of music it was. Petty and Lester Reat at the Lyric this week have an innovation that stands apart from most so-called “Innovations" in the fact that it has real entertainment value. A piano accordian as an accompaniment, in itself a very hard thing to do. They are to he complimented on their act. It sounds like an Indian story, but Brooks of Brooks & Nace, says that Miss Nace is a full blooded Chei’okee Indian, minus two quarts. The minus qunnity being due to a fall in her youth and the loss of the said life fluid at that time. Anyway Miss Nace can do a splendid Indian war dance as attested by her performance at the time of review. The act is full of good fun. Arthur and Darling have a rather odd act. The setting is laid in a forest and the man, in the costume of a great frog, does some very difficult feats in the line of contortions. He is one of the best in that line here for many moons. Joe Freed & Cos., are a riot in one of the scenes of their act. The several different scenes are supposed to represent things seen on a visit to New York. The Four English Mad Caps,”
Tom Sims Says Bad news from Texas. The State isn't what it once was. Took five men to shoot one bandit. Baseball season is over.

Cops should watch them. They may get jobs firing apartment furnaces. Caught a bootlegger in Nashville, Tenn. He was 80 years old. But his goods were not.
