A REAL CANDIDATE If ever any convention had placed upon it a responsibility, it is the Democratic gathering which meets here this week to select a candidate against Senator Watson. Upon its wisdom or stupidity will depend whether Indiana is to continue to he made the national laughing stock and worse through Watsonism. Upon its action will depend whether this State will make a start to clean up the control of government by forces which have shamed it. Upon its action will depend whether this State will make a start to clean up the control of government by forces which have shamed it. There is no question of the revolt against W atsonism within his own party. He has invited it by twirling his thumb at the President, even if he had not earned it through thirty years of office holding which has brought nothing but politics and jobs. There is no question but that the independent voters of the State will turn from him as they have always turned, if the rival candidate offered any chance of progress. With an exceptional candidate for the short term,' the Democratic party has its big opportunity to render a service to Indiana. It can end W atsonism at home. It can help to finish it and all that it stands for in the Nation. But if it does, it may have to apply the principle of “selective service” and draft a candidate against Watson. The six men who ran in the primaries are making claims to preferment, but the fact remains that no one of them inflamed either the imagination or the ardent interest of the members of their own party. The six polled practically the same number of votes, leaving the fair inference that no one of them is so outstanding in record, platform or personality as to make himself the “men of the hour.” There are two men in this State in the Democratic party who could lead their party to an easy victory. It is an open secret that no one of the six men who could lead their party to an easy victory. It is an open secret that no one of the six men who ran in the primary would have been a candidate for that office had either Frank Daily or Frederick Van Nuys permitted their names to be entered in the race. It a an open secret and a matter of political history that both these men were frequently urged to make the sacrifice and that both refused. The friends arid backers of any one of the six primary candidates will admit that had either been willing to run, the nomination would have been almost unanimous. If that convention, which should act for the independents as well as their own party, which should try to select a who can win, unless it be controlled in the interests of the Watson and the powers with which he deals, shows wisdom it should tap one of these men on the shoulder and draft him for the jobThe fine fight made by Dailey on Newberryism ’ gives him a ready-made issue. Watson ran away from any probe of corruption. The record of Van Nuys and his straightforwardness as contrasted with the evasive Watson would make an appeal. Why should not these delegates, realizing a crisis and an opportunity, ask one of the men to be their candidate? A still finer thing would be an invitation from the six men who refrained from becoming candidates until assured that neither would run in the primaries to one bf these men and insist on his acceptance.
THE REAL LESSON Today at Arlington, across the Potomac from Washington, President Coolidge is paying his national tribute to the Nation's dead. Elsewhere throughout the United States Americans’ will kneel in reverence beside myriad mounds that cover .the mouldering dust of men who in war offered their lives for their country. No day in all the year should be more sacred to us than this. For while all love is divine, none is so nearly so as that which leads a man to give up his life for his kind. But the full significance of this day would be lost if we allowed it to pass without registering a vow, each one of us, that we will do what we humanly can to make the war graves of the future as few' as possible. There are two ways by which we, as private citizens, can contribute: First, w r e can urge upon our national government that it must co-operate in every legitimate way possible with the other contries of the earth in a world-wide effort to prevent future wars. Second, we can give our backing to preparations for national defense without which we not only invite attack but expose our boys to useless slaughter when it comes. One of the finest things about our country is its smcere devotion to peace. War, beyond any' doubt, ■is utterly abhorrent to the vast majority of Americans. Yet, despite our love of peace and aversion against war and our chronic unpreparedness to fight, we have plunged into a major w r ar on an average of once every twenty-five years since the birth of our Nation. It is, therefore, quite obvious that it was not the possession of a great war machine that got us into war. And it is equally plain Jthat unpreparedness did not save us from it. What unpreparedness did do for us was to swell the number of those pitiful little green mounds which today w’e are garlanding with flowers from sea to sea and from the tropical jungle of Luzon to the poppy fields of France. There would be thousands of graves less to decorate today had our training been what it should. Knowledge of the rudiments of military -training makes a militarist of no one. But lack of this experience inevitably “costs streams of blood,” and digs long windrows of soldier graves for a grateful people annually to decorate on this day. Flowers for our dead soldiers and shilors by all means, yes- But they will wither in vain and without meaning we concentrate them with a vow that hencefortlj such, graves ba less,
WHERE IT &TOPS When the police searched the home of a prominent lawyer and politician and found a few bottles of whisky, the charge under the Wright law was that of “sale and manufacture” of liquor. Under that law the possession was presumed to be evidence that the man who had it intended to sell it. The indictment by the grand jury of this county followed this legal absurdity. The circumstances leading up to the arrest were peculiarly illustrative of the spirit of the law. The lawyer had hired a workman who had seen the liquor, so he testified. He did not rush from the house to call the police and did not resent the alleged violation until there had been a quarrel. His interest in punishing a violator of the Wright law seemed to have been born immediately after the dispute. The law is peculiarly designed for the purposes of those who want revenge through the arrest and humiliation of those they dislike. The law puts a weapon into the hands of the snooper, the vindictive and the revengeful. It so happens that this indictment is the first to strike at a man of power, political prestige, wealth. That law has been applied to those who do not live in exclusive residential sections, whose social position is not among those of wealth. The ruling of the judge on a technical point relieved the victim of the necessity of making a defense —and it is intimated that he had a very good defense, an excuse which would appeal to the sympathy of any man not lost to all human feeling, that he had saved a human life, not his own. It is unfortunate that the defense was not presented, for then there would have been given to the people of the State a perfect picture of the Wright law in action. It would have shown a residence invaded on information given by a personal enemy. It would have shown that in order to save a human life he yielded to the plea of friendship and that in order to do so, brought hinfself in contact ■with that provision of the Wright law which forbids physicians to give the whisky which they wanted in a desperate crisis. As long as the Wright law stands and makes possession of any amount of liquor in a home a crime, as long as it makes private homes public nuisances and opens the way to the snooper and the personal enemy to obtain revenge, courts will go to extreme lengths to protect some semblance of private rights. But until that law is enforced, in all strictness against the rich and the powerful as well as the man without money, until it is enforced on boulevards as well as in tenements, it will increase disrespect for law and encourage the spirit of unrest md lack of confidence in all our institutions. The law has found one place where it stops. It is apparently unable to operate against the rich. It should not operate against those who have no wealth or position as a defense.
VOTERS MUST NOT SLEEP When the voters go to sleep strange things happen at the polls- Popular and efficient candidates often go down in defeat because the public had thought everything was settledNothing is ever “settled” in politics and Knoxville, Tenn., is one example. The people of Knoxville supported the city manager plan of government and put in a manager who paid dividends in the form of a 10 per cent tax rebate about two years ago. But today the manager is out, and politics rides in the saddle again. It all happened because the voters napped on the job, while the politicians didn’t. The politicians forced a recall election on certain councilmen. The voters refused to take the recall seriously, and politicians’ plan to weaken support for the manager within the council succeeded. A manager cannot work irhe is fought at every turn. He must have the council’s backing. The manager at Knoxville had broken las health in fighting the people's battles, without reward, so he did the only thing feasible when he resigned. When the voters doze there are queer quirks at the polls. Thq, British strike cost $8,500,000 an hour. On such an amount you could support an old automobile.

DARE WE SAY YOUTH IS WRONG? By Mrs. Walter Ferguson We call this the jazz age. Daily there goes up a chorus of consternation over the activity of the young and long pages are written about bad boys and girls. Let us turn our attention in the other direction for a moment. The other day Lincoln Ellsworth, who is heir to great wealtn and could, if he wished, speed his limousine over paved highways and purchase smuggled champagne, soared over the north pole with Amundsen. Young in years, he is already a seasoned explorer and his knowledge of aerial travel is deep. But fewer editorials have been written about Ellsworth than were penned over Loeb and Leopold. It has become our habit to strike at the mental innovations of youth. We deplore the changes their brains are making and the things their ha,nds fashion. But let us remind ourselves that modern youth is doing something. It has rid itself of many foolish pieties and prohibitions, and is setting about to fashion for itself a sensible mode of life. Youth wants to live more freely and beautifully than the bygone gent rations. And dare we say that youth is wrong? If we will look about us we can see many a boy with the dreams and ambitions which spurred Lincoln Ellsworth on—hoys who ponder over science and over life and who long to make some progress. Youth, these days, may not always be going in the right direction, but it is going somewhere, and that is much. Out of the welter of confusion Into which we have thrown them by the betrayal, of our ideajs when we plunged a world into war, there are emerging thousands of eager young men and women who will accomplish more and better things than we have ever alone. Sometimes I wonder how we, who helped to throw civilization into anarchy, dare find fault with the rising generation who are obliged to pick up the pieces liter we have accomplished destruction.

Tracy Day of Tribute Unknown Soldiers Expanding Horizons A Sacred Trust
By M. E. TRACY This is ft day of tribute to the fighting dead. It has its parallel in every nation and every age. Men do not go into battle without believing it is for something worth while and the people w'ho survive them respect their sincerity, even thought they may come to disagree with the ideal. While standing at the graves of our heroic dead, we must not forget that the* women and children of those whom they fought are doing likewise and with precisely the same emotions. The German widow is entitled to her tears, and the southern daughter to her proud memory. •!• •!• :!• On a thousand hills, the little crosses gleam, some testifying devotion to one Hag, some to another. I* and large they mark the resting place of brave honest youtn. On more hills the crosses have disappeared and only fading records show the heroism their soil enshrines. . .|. -|. .|. In our great national cemetery at Arlington sleeps the Unknown Soldier, with a sentry forever pacing up and down. For the immediate present, he symbolizes the spirit that led our boys to France without thought of reward or glory. In a large sense, he symbolizes the end of all earthly glories and rewards. Those who fought 2,000 years ago, of 1,000 or even 500, are practically all unknown soldiers now, though they fought courageously and with a vivid idea that they knew what they were fighting for. .). One cannot contemplate the endless blood sacrifice without suspecting that much of it was vain. Yet some of it was necessary, and the question arises, could civilization have developed the hardihood to preserve itself when confronted with real emergencies, as it has been on numerous occakions, without being schooled by a lot of useless war. -I- -I- -IHorizons expand through the growth of human intelligence. What was indispensable yesterday can be laid aside today and what seems in* dispensable today may be laid aside tomorrow. Time was when the caveman's only guarantee of peace with his neighbors consisted of a club. Time was when the Ideal of patriotism did not extend beyond tribal domains.. Through thousands of years of struggle and strife, of theorizing and experimenting, we have learned how to live together peacefully in great nations. j The time may come, though it is undoubtedly far away, when we shall know how to live together peacefully throughout the world. J. .j. .1. Meanwhile, let us preserve this republic, not because It is ours, nor yet because it has been sanctified by the blood of those who died for it. but because of all nations it has contributed most to visualize the possibility and practicability of peace. I do not have In mind the fact that one of Its Presidents founded the League of Nations when I say this, or that another President called a disarmament conference, or that still a third may 'maneuver it into the World Court. All that is formalist. What I have in mind is its comparatively small Army, its fortless frontiers and Its lack of imperialism. And when I say that it must be preserved, .1 do not have in mind the land and wealth it possesses so much as the traditions and principles on which it refits. -!- ■!■ -!• It signalled a glorious triumph, perhaps, when the American Flag went up on Chapultepec, but it signalled a much more glorious triumph when the flag came down. Historically, the Civil War ended at Appomattox, but the victory was not made complete until President Hayes gave back the South her liberties. If we can afford to he proud of what this republic has done, we can afford to be prouder of what it has refrained from doing. So * far as sheer power goes, it might be in control of a larger part of the western hemisphere, have its slice of Africa and its own ports on the Asiatic coast. The fact that it has not gone in for conquest and colonization that it has not tried to see how much of the world it could grab and dominate still remains the most gratifying fact in its career. Let us acknowledge this as we stand at the graves of our dead and pay them tribute by holding it a sacred trust.

Red Hot Love Making Is Done by Garbo and Cortez in Ibanez’s ‘The Torrent’
By Walter D. Hickman. Red hot love-making is indulged In by Ricardo Cortez and Greta Garbo, Swedish movie star, in "The Torrent.” Vicente Ibanez, Spanish author, certainly knows his Spain and how the men and worrlen of his country act when they are in love. And it is not surprising that this author has written several pretty
warm love scenes in to his new story, “The Torrent.” These love scenes are really a part of the story because it is chiefly concerned with the theme of how cold hot love may become when it does get cold. If I am not wrong, Greta Garbo. Swedish star, makes her debut in an Americanmade movie in “The Torrent.” a Metro - GoldwynMayer picture

now on view at the Apollo. Miss Garbo is the haunting beauty type, who can do character parts as well as dress parade roles. She has the needed sparkle in her eye and she mounts with easy grace to her big dramatic scenes. And this man Ibanez knows how to throw that dramatic crash stuff together. He is a great artist in dramatic detail, especially when he starts building a dramatic situation. When Lenora was a poor hut good Spanish girl, Don Rafael Brull, a | young spinesless Spanish noble, i didn't have the nerve to tell his am- | bitious and tyrannical mother to go jto the happy hunting ground. And he didn't marry Leriora. Instead she fled to Paris and in years afterward became a grand opera sensation, one of the best of the Carmens. Lenora returns to her home town and makes quite a flash with her beauty, money, jewels and reputation. At that time Don Rafael was about to marry a sweet little thing chosen by his mother. After spending a night with Lenora in a cute little orange garden, Don Rafael nearly told his mother to go to the bow-wows —hut he didn’t. He mar- ; ried the slim young thing of his mother's choice. But he always dreamed of Years afterwards'he again appeared before the great opera star and this time he was all fat and stuffy. Avery foolish looking old thing. Such vision of Don Rafael caused Lenora to thAnk her stars that he was not her husband. So she sends him back to his own wife and children. He should also have had a chaperon. The big scene, from a mechanical ! standpoint of course, is the flood [scene. It is about as well handled I from a realistic standpoint as any j movie flood I have ever seen. | At times the picture is of rare I beauty.

Raymond Griffith, the high hat comedian, is developing his own brand of comedy. He is developing what I call the monologue movie, meaning that he generally does his big senees by himself or another person. This he does in “Wet Paint,” his latest Paramount comedy. In addition to this ho uses a black and
white effect In the opening sc e n es. He has a bunch of novelty business stunts and uses a wrecked auto In a scene of much 1 eng th. Even the movie drunk is used in one scene. His high hat Is present in most of the scenes. The women used are types. It rather seems to me that this intimate movie idea is a
Raymond Griffith
radical departure from the old line. And yet it is a good deal like two people playing an entire two'hour and a half legitimate play on the stage. Harold Lloyd made himself to a great extent by wearing rims of glasses. Griffith has* developed the high hat idea. He will ride to fame, in fact, has, on this idea. The story idea Is centered about Griffith’s efforts to get a wife. When he is turned down by his sweetie, he decides to marry the first woman that he meets. This results in a lot of shooting and an automobile accident. The general success of this movie will depend upon one’s own appreciation of Griffith’s individual line of fun. He does different things and I always get the impression that Griffith thinks up lots of things that the ’ movie writer never dreams of. “Wet Paint” has been well directed although the automobile accident scenes occupy too much time and space. More and different action would have helped it, I think. Helene -Costello and Bryant Washburn ,are chief in support of the star. Bill includes the Patricia Trio in a program and an Impetial comedy, "A Rare Bird.” At the Ohio. -!- -I- -IIN WHICH WIFE GETS HALF OF THE PAY ROLL So said a young wife to herself: "Believe men when I leave that marriage ceremony I am going to serve notice on my husband that he has to give me half of his pay envelope.” That is she said that to herself before she married the nicest fellow. He w;ys so nice that he had a railway compartment on the-moonlight side. He certainly was grand. Thw young, bride .becamt*. so
gusted with the way her father treated her mother in money matters that she decided to call a wife strike of herself, her mother and another young married woman. The husbands flatly refused to turn over said one half of thedr pay. The three wives vanish to the country and the three husbands decide to play poker in the front room, do their own cooking and throw cigar butts anyplace they want to. *it works for awhile until the kitchen sink runs over with dirty dishes. And the beds are never made and the three houses look like a British strike was on. And the wives—they thought they were going to be gay. They had mourning on from the time they landed in the country. So before long the wives are ready to return without no salary at all and the men are ready to give ’em every red cent. And so the foolish wives come trooping home and the more foolish husbands take ’em back. All is so happy, mushy and sweet. All this happens in "Wages for Wives,” built In defense of wives who want part of the pay check-. The wives are played by Jacqueline Logan. Margaret Livingston and Zasu Pitts. The husbands by Creighton Hale, Earle Foxe and Claude Gillingwater. I think I am right on who are the husbands. Mighty good cast with Gillingwater and Miss

And he has done it again In "Ranson's Folly.” The story itself is too old-fashioned, and yet it has its redeeming qualities, but not enough to put it even near the winning class for this man. To be perfectly fair, I honestly believe that the director is more to blame for certain conditions than the cast. The director has failed to develop certain incidents in a clear way. Basthelmess is
cast ns a young cavalry officer in the days when the Indians were still busy out West. He has a sort of a schoolboy complex and ■ he decides just for a bet to hold up the stagecoach with a pair of scissors and a red handkerchief. He does the trick and takes nothing, but a real bandit holds up the paymaster of the fort at the same time and does some

Things look had at the court-martial but, as usual, everything ends happily for the hero and the gal he loves. “Ranson’s Folly” in no way compares to the magnificent "Shore Leave” or the sweet "Classmates.” Again, an actor who is fighting to stay in favor should be mighty careful in what type of movie he selects as a vehicle.
