The Man Who Would Be King pTIAVID C. STEPHENSON a year ago today U was at the height of his career. He had just succeeded in placing himself in a position of more influence than any one man ever possessed in the free State of Indiana. He had won an election. Men whom he had supported had been elected to office. A Legislature over which he knew he had almost absolute control was about to convene. He had set up a kingdom and he proposed to rule. David C. Stephenson today sits in a cell in the little jail in the public square at Noblesville. He has been found guilty of the crime of taking a human life and he faces the prospect of spending the remainder of his days behind prison walls. His influence, which continued even after he was behind iron bars, is gone. The man who would be king is dethroned and imprisoned, as a result of his own acts. “lain the law in Indiana,” this man once said, according to the girl whose life he has been convicted of taking. He acted on the theory that a king can do no wrong. He was centuries behind his time. He attempted to set himself up as a medieval ruler and to act as one. He attempted to rule ruthlessly and according to his own desires. But lie went too far. The people of Indiana during the last few years have calmly sat by and watched strange occurrances —but in Indiana not even a king can get away with murder. The jury had before it only the evidence surrounding the death of Madge Oberholtzer. It acted according to the views of the law and the evidence. Stephenson says he has just begun to fight and that probably is true. He will carry his case to a higher tribunal, but all that court can do will be to order anew trial. Regardless of the outcome of the fight he will make, a higher tribunal than the Supreme Court of the State, a tribunal that comprises the population of Indiana, should hold that David C. Stephenson, nor any other man, ever again will be permitted to mount a throne.
Italy Gets off Light mT’S a whale of a good trade Benito Mussolini has just struck with America in funding Italy’s war debt to this country. Italy agrees to pay the United States $2,042,000,000, representing principal and interest due up to June 15, this year. For five years she will pay virtually nothing—a mere $5,000,000 a year without interest. After that she will make annual payments ranging from $14,000,000 at the beginning to $80,000,000 at the finish of a sixty-two-year period. ; Interest rates will be negligible. A little better than one-half of one per cent, totaling some $365,000,000 for the entire sixty-two years. In the first five years while Italy is paying only $5,000,000 a year, the American people will pay a total of approximately $400,000,000 interest on the money they raised to lend to Italy. In other words, Americans will pay more interest on Italy’s debt in five years than Italy herself will pay in the whole sixtyseven years. There are at least a million and a quarter Italians in the United States. Most of them are sending money home. An average of SIOO would mean $125,000,000 sent to Italy annually. Italy can therefore pay us with olir own money and have plenty left over for maccaroni .and Chianti. We are not complaining over the terms of the debt settlement. This paper from the beginning has said we should settle on a basis of capacity to pay. If Italy can’t pay more than that, why that is certainly all we should demand. But why did th American debt commission turn down a better offer from France? The two countries are nearly of a size, and while France is richer than Italy, Italy has a public debt of only 90,500,000,000 lire, while France has a similar debt of 415,000,000,000 francs, the lire and the franc normally being worth the same. France’s huge debt is largely the result of her having borne the brunt of the World War and her having had to borrow billions to rebuild her war-devastated areas. Anyway, whatever the reasons, Italy can now go sailing, borrowing all the money she likes in New York with no heavy payments to this country due for forty years, while France, having failed to get a settlement, faces stark ruin. France is now on the brink of financial pordition. Is it wise to push her over? If we do, we will be lucky if we get anything. It would have been wiser had we settled with France, as we have just done with Italy—on the best procurable. *
Necessities, Perhaps; Luxuries, Sure '"7IMERICANS may not demand necessities A this winter, but they are expected to demand the luxuries. Factories which produce the latter are working full time or overtime in virtually every section of the United States, according to the latest monthly report on industrial conditions of the United States Department of Labor. And, while full employment is reported from many places in industries producing the essentials, such as steel, coal, clothing, houses, canned goods et cetera, the report shows that conditions are “spotty” throughout the country and that some sections are reporting work slack and factories and foundries closed down. Another feature of the report is that consumers are not only demanding luxuries, but are moving from the farm to the cities to enjoy them. “Shortage of farm labor, due to labor moving to the cities,” is a phrase repeated over and over again, from the department’s correspondents all over the country. Manufacture of radios and radio parts, rubber goods, silk fabrics and hose, eandv, tobacco, automobiles—all these industries report full time or overtime employment in almost all sections. Even jazz and gin are included in the optimistic outlook—from Elkhart, Ind., comes word that band-instrument factories arc working overtime, and several glass-making centers report overtime activity on the part of glass-bottle blowers.
A Little Cigar Store mHREE men Sunday night attempted to hold up a little cigar store on S. Capitol Ave. There have been several attempts to hold up this store. To our unsophisticated mind it seems strange that robbers should take so much trouble to hold up a little cigar store on an out-of-the-way street. What could they possible expect to find? Itis to the credit of the police that they caught the three alleged robbers. The neighborhood was swarming with policemen Sunday night. In fact, there were almost enough policemen present to raid a gambling house. But, of course, there are no gambling houses in Indianapolis.
The Double Standard
| * 1 PERPLEXED young woman is worried 1/*1 about “the double standard of morals.’’ She can see nothing fair in a system which allows certain privileges to men and forbids them to women. And she has plenty of company, for a good many women have spent a lot of time thinking the same thing about the same question. Pagan and Christian civilizations have had the double standard because the men found it convenient to establish it and, having had the balance of power for centuries, were able to keep women subjected to the same idea. The modern woman questions this injustice more openly and loudly than any of her predecessors. Having acquired new privileges she dallies with the thought that all the forbidden fruit which men have tasted and now taste should be pressed also to her lips. And in doing so she dallies with the thought which may destroy her. For, in the last analysis, we had much better have the double standard, unjust as it is, than to have women, in order to “get even,” think they can tread the primrose path with impunity. For immorality reacts chiefly upon the individual. It may not be, as many people now argue, a sin against God, but it is without doubt a sin against yourself, and no person, either man or woman, indulges in loose living without paying a price that is high. We women have been wont to believe that the men can do this and “get by,” and once they may have done so, but they can do this no more. They pay, and in precious coin, for every evil deed, for every sensual indulgence, for every indecent, unmanly act. They pay in the loss of their children’s faith, in the destruction of their wife’s love, in the death of their friends’ respect, and in the bitter knowledge that they have polluted their bodies and atrophied their souls, and in the end have gained—nothing. Decency, clean living, wholesome thinking, are worth a thousand times more than anything else in life. To women, they are of inestimable value. Do doubt that the pure in heart see God. the unclean creep about in the mud and of their own viciousness, these others with their faces toward the stars. Y

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
■By GAYLORD NELSON
“I AM THE LAW” mllE Hamilton County jury, by convicting D. C. Stephenson, Saturday, of second degree murder, with its penalty of life Imprisonment, did much to settle the question whether “I am the law In Indiana.” He Is not, emphatically declared twelve good men, and a majority of respectable citizens applaud them. Even Stephenson, the Hoosler Warwick before whom legislators and high State officials hastened to “bend the pregnant hinges of the knees,” who dictated policies and dominated the politics of a great State —can’t get away with murder. That’s some consolation. The most amazing and depressing feature of the whole case was not the trial, just concluded, or the episode that led to it but the career of the defendant. That he could rise from obscurity to wealth and Irresponsible power, shape legislation and make governors by the methods he employed Is a blot on the citizenship of Indiana. The man himself may be “the best man that ever lived,” as his henchmen and co-defendant Earl Klinck says—a victim of unholy persecution. That Is debatable. Imagine Lincoln entrapping, assaulting, biting and ravishing a young woman in lustful frenzy. Such things just aren't done by the best men that ever lived. But whatever the character of the man himself, the greatest disgrace to Indiana comes from Stephensonlsm, not from the last notorious outrage that caused the arrest, trial and conviction of Stephenson. The same forces of hate and bigotry that elevated Stephenson to the imperial purple and dictatorship In the political affairs of the democratic State of Indiana are still at work, ready to be harnessed by other adventurers thirsting for power. It will take more than the verdict of a Hamilton County jury to vindicate the fair name of the State. The dozen farmers who returned that verdict merely lightened the spot on our body politic, instead of eradicating it. The spirit of "I am the law” marches on.
INDIANA CORN KINGS EM. VOGLER, of Hope, Ind., was crowned corn kin? of the world at the national corn show in Sedalia. Mo., last week. His bushel of corn was adjudged the best exhibited. Another Hoosier won second place. And Peter J. Lux of Shelbyville, twice winner of the grand championship at the International Grain Show at Chicago, won grand sweepstakes at the Sedalia show with ten ears of white corn. His brother took second place and his son third. That is almost a corn dynasty. Corn is as epidemic in Hoosier families as fallen arches and pulled tendons among Charlestoners. A lot of Americans besides baldheaded men wear crowns. We have beer barons, princely spenders, fistic kiners, the king of the ivories, “Red'* Grange, and movie queens. None of whom resides in Indiana. But we are satisfied with our solid, not liquid, corn kings. A heavyweight monarch gesticulates a few minutes with his fists for a lordly stipend per gesticulation. Rudolph Valentino—the prince of screen lovers whose original name rhymed with spaghetti —embraces passionately through five reels for a king’s ransom. But what permanent contribution do they make to society? A Hoosier corn king wears a diadem of perspiration and callouses on his hands and hack. But he adds to the agricultural prosperity of his native state. He contributes something of lasting value to society. His exploits are recorded in the rising curve of national wealth not in the files of the Police Gazette. CONSTITUTION AND CREDIT RTHUR R. ROBINSON. new Hoosier Senator, told u—) a gathering of Indiana credit men recently that “without the Constitution of the United States, you could neither get nor extend credit.” He imputed all our public and private virtues to that document. That's putting the cart before the horse. Public speakers carry their eulogies of our fundamental instrument of government to absurd lengths. The Constitution is not responsible for our climate, private

honesty, high standards of commercial practice, or other characteristics of American life In which we take pride. Mexico and Central American states, after their liberation from Spain, adopted our Constitution practically verbtatim, as their scheme of government. For the ensuing hundred years they enjoyed neither public credit, private security nor internal order. The plan of government so successful with us failed in their hands. I he Constitution was not graven on stone and handed down on Mt. Sinai by Jehovah. It is a very human document forged by human hands in the midst of hot debate and conflicting interests. Its provisions were fashioned as much by expediency as by pure principies of government. The character of the people who made the Constitution possible, their sturdy spirit, and their genius for self-government, made the Constitution a successful instrument for maintaining law, order and public credit. Keeping alive the spirit responsible for the Constitution is more important than blind adoration of the document itself. ALL ALIKE" ONLY DIFFERENT mllE Richmond (Ind.) ParentTeacher Association advocates a uniform attire—middy blouse and modest wool skirts—for Richmond cchool girls. They argue that such a costume would protect health and prevent unwholesome rivalry and extrava*gance among the girls. Boy, page Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The Richmond Par-ent-Teacher Association also tilts at windmills. It is easy to prove the advantages of adopting uniform standards of dress for young girls attending public schools. Inability of some, because of thinness of purse, to keep pace with the clothing fads and fancies of their more fortunate companions is a source of ujitold sorrow undoubtedly. But to compel wearing of uniform attire is not so easy. It’s as impossible as squaring the circle—just a beautifu' dream. A uniform stifles individuality. For that reason even children in such institutions as orphan asylums and correctional establishments are no longer compelled to wear hateful uniforms. And stripes and prison haircuts have been abolished as unnecessary indignities to poor convicts. Why should standard dress be imposed on girls who are neither convicts nor wards of the State? Old Polonlus revealed a deep understanding of human nature when he laid down to precept “costly ;hy habit as thy purse can buy, but not express’d In fancy; rich, not gaudy: Fftr the apparel oft proclaims the man.” Much more so woman from seven to seventy. y The choice of apparel for the school girl can better be left to her and her parents, who foot the bills, than to offieial edict. The charm of the females of the species Is that they are all niike only different. We hope they will never be poured out of one mold.
Curtains By Hal Cochran family's goin’ drivin’, and J I | the kids are in the car. 'Tis ~• just a little pleasure jaunt that’s maybe near, or far. While mother sits beside him, father starts the bloomin’ thing, and then come shouts of pleasure as the engine starts to sing. They’re off, a bumpy-bumpln’ down a pretty country road. The springs are kinda saggln' 'cause the bus has got a load. What more could bring real pleasure, in the middle of the day? They don’t know where they’re goin’, but, at least, they’re on their way. It’s gettin’ kinda cloudy nnd the sun has gone from view. But, shucks, they keep on goin’—’cause there’s nothing else to do. They've dodged the busy highways and they're loafin' down a lane. Now Isn’t that the usual luck? It’s startin’ in to rain. 'Course father’s kinda peevish at the fate that’s in his cup. He drives beneath a tree, and stops to put the curtains up. The family has to disembark. (No, touring’s not so sweet.) Why is it father always keeps the curtain 'neath the seat? A lot of little snappers just won’t work the way thpy should. The kidlets try to help dad, but they do more harm than good. At last the job is finished. (Isn’t fate an odd old scout?) They’re ready for the hardest rain. And then—the sun comes out. / (Copyright, Service, Inc.)

Nick Croons Hits and Colleen Frolics; Valentino Returns in Problem Drama
By Walter D. Hickman Ci" n HECK ’em up os there are three hits present at the Circle. And they all belong in the same hit class. They are Nick Lucas and his guitar; Colleen rift, kaleinikoflf directing 110 ' irc ' e Theater orchestra through overture. Lucas opens with a sung ibout a feller bringI number is one •things that Lucas Colleen Moore puts over so well. I think the name Is, “If I Can’t Have You.” It is about a chap, who admits that a nice moonlight night, doesn’t mean much to him. because the girl he wants isnt there. Nick’s comedy song j number this season is a nifty dream 1 song about a fellow, who went to the bottom of the sea with Minnie, the Mermaid. Lucas Is scoring even bigger at the Circle this week than he did on his first visit here some months ago. Colleen Moore is a lucky girl, meaning that the person, who gets movie vehicles for her, selects ’em right. Meaning that the typical Col leen Moore roles are obtained. Miss Moore might be properly called "the cutup girl” of the screen. In “We Moderns,” Miss Moore is cast as the flapper daughter of an English political leader and a member of the nobility. Colleen goes wild, learns her lesson and marries the right sort of a chap. When Colleen is “Impish” and protests against home rule In the home, she is just a cute little cutup. She becomes a comedienne right before your very eyes without one second’s warning. She has a bunch of eye tricks which she uses to good advantage. Near the end of the picture, the director goes a wee bit wild in show ing an nirn’ane crash into 'a passenger dirigible where a modern jazz party Is in full blast. Os course Colleen is not injured. “We Moderns” will be rememher'ed ns a comedy which gives Colleen Moore a chance to register with as much success as she did in” Flaming Youth," and "The Perfect Flapper. Jack Mulhall is in the cast as Is Claude Gilllngwater. The music of “No. No, Nanette." has been popular for over a year. The score used at the Circle this week gives the orchestra a chance to syncopate some of the melodies. A fine hit, Pakalelnikoff. At the Circle all week.
“THE MERRY WIDOW” REMAINS AT APOLLO “The Merry Widow,” the Erich Von Stroheim production of a photoplay based upon a stage operetta, is now in its second week of deserved prosperity at the Apollo. Here is a magnificent picture, elaborately produced and as well acted. Mae Murray does the very best work of her career in this movie. John Gilbert has made himself an undlsputed leader by his work in this photoplay’. The bill includes a comedy, “Good Morning, Madam.” a news reel, Charles B Lines in songs and music by the Emil Seidel Orchestra.
