JOHN W. WEEKS [ “The- easiest thing I ever did was to make money.” So John W. Weeks ' used frequently to say. Those who knew him, however, say the easiest thing he did was to make friends. The former Secretary of War, who died yesterday, seems, in fact, to have found pretty much all of liffe easy, due to a habit of taking things easily. | Nothing bothered him a great deal. When tne banking, firm which he helped launch in the early part of his career failed, leaving him broke, it is told that he merely remarked to his wife: “Well, mother, ' looks like we’ll have to begin over.” Beginning over, Weeks was able to retire from active business while comparatively young with a fortune of a few million dollars. Politics offered him more pleasure than any other activity. After having been mayor of his Massachusetts town and Congressman four times he was elected to the United States Senate on the death of his political tutor, Murray Crane. That was in 1913. Three years later he was found in possession** of 105 delegates to the Republican national convention which had met in 1 Chicago to nominate a man for the presidency. Many of the 105 were Southern delegates and it was generally assumed that W r eeks had gathered them, or they had been gathered for him in the easiest way. But no scandal or cries of outrage attached to these delegates, as so frequently is the case of Southern delegates to national conventions. No scandal, in fact, ever attached to Weeks’ efforts in politics. He never wanted anything sufficiently to cause him to step over the line that marks what can be done and what cannot, even in practical politics, without raising a row. He never wanted anything sufficiently to lead him to hurt anybody else s feelings. He kept the friendship of all the delegates, even those who eventually dropped him in favor of Charles Evans Hughes. He lent his aid to Hughes in the campaign and four years later did the same for W arren G. Harding. He aided the latter’s finances during the 1920 campaign. By this time he occupied an interesting position in American affairs. As the associate of politicians he could advise the bankers on what the politicians were thinking. As the associate of bankers, he could advise the politicians on what the bankers were thinking. ‘ On Harding’s election Weeks wanted to be Secretary of the Treasury, but when the place went to Mellon he accepted the war portfolio as gracefully as if he had wanted nothing else. When ill health terminated his service in the Cabinet last fall he accepted this as the end of his public career, as good-naturedly as he had accepted all other events in his life. Doubtless death likewise found him cheerful, feeling that if he couldn’t live then the next best thing was to die. W r eeks’ passing leaves no apparent gap in public affairs. It does leave, however, a sense of loss on the part of as large a number of personal friends as any one man could have.

“THE UNITED STATES OF CANADA” The United States of Canada! That sounds strange after so many years of ‘The Dominion," and “King and Country.” Perhaps it will continue to have an alien ring, but right now the expression, or its political equivalent, is growing in popularity very rapidly in Canada. A month ago a speech advocating independence ./would have been regarded in Canada as coming only from malcontents and extremists. Today the same speech would probably muster a crowd in any part of the Dominion. What it will do when the general elections come in September depends on developments in what is bound to be Canada’s hottest campaign for many years. The trouble, oddly enough, all started because of bootlegging Canadian liquor to the United States. This involved Mackenzie King’s liberal ministry in a customs scandal. Faced with a vote of lack of confidence in the Canadian Parliament, King asked the governor general, Lord Byng of Vimy, to dissolve that body. The governor general refused, so King resigned June 28. / Arthur Meighen, conservative leader, at the re- ; quest of Byng, formed a government which lasted , only four days before falling of the requisite votes to continue in "business. Now a general election for September has been ordered. In the campaign much of the excitement will hinge on Lord Byng’s refusal to comply with King’s request to dissolve the parliament, and his subsequent appointment of Meighen without the formality of an election. InUEngland, when the prime minister asks for a dissolution of Parliament and a general election, the King always agrees. The Canadians were under the impression that the governor general’s powers' wouldn't outrank those of the King. Lord Byng vetoed the wishes of the Canadian prime minister and followed his own wishes in the matter of government reorganization. Now, in all parts of Canada the question is being heatedly asked “Is this a mere crown colony or is it a self-govern-ing dominion?” And in a good many places ther/i are outright suggestions of a complete break with England. That Canada will celebrate the 160th anniversary of American independence with a similar move is outside of the realm of probability. That the whole question of Canadian relationships to England Vill receive a lively airing during the next sixty days is, however, a certainty. i NEW YORK-IS PURE * A fresh yojung miss from the wild and woolly hinterlands of Connecticut came to New York the other day preparing to be shocked. She had heard

that In Greenwich Village almost anything goes, and she wanted to see what “anything” was. But it turned out that she was the shock herself, and an old-fashioned policeman was the one to be jolted. For, what do you suppose Miss Connecticut was doing as she came for an evening stroll down into Washington Square? She was carrying a lighted cigaret, that’s what she was, and she didn’t try to make any secret of it either, as she crossed the magisterial pathway of Patrolman Olsen. ‘‘Say, you, drop that cigaret!” was the voice that boomed out of the darkness. Miss Connecticut didn’t drop. A cop was only a cop after all, and how come? She asked what ordinance, please, she was breaking. She asked further, if it was criminal for a young lady to inhale a fag or two in this burg. It wasn’t “nice," was Patrolman Olsen’s best comeback. The young lady demurred. What wasn’t nice about it? The policeman began to gesture with his nightstick. The tayc flew faster. Finally he, the majesty of the law, found himself outtalked in every sector. -’ v “Loud and boisterous language,” was his final verdict, so he arrested Miss Connecticut and her New York friend. Moral: Don’t go around on Patrolman Olsen’s beat in Washington Square smoking cigarets at night unless you are a male. , CRME NEVER PAYS Major Kenjpi, of the Finnish army, decided to see Paris. He "Was walking along one of the “rues” when something attracted his attention. May have been a madamoiselle. May have been the window display of a shop. It doesn’t matter. The point is—a pickpqcket slipped a hand into Major Kempi’s pocket and pinched his wallet. This happens daily. And the regulation editorial comment should be, “Keep your mind on your business,” or something similar. But you haven’t head all of the case. Later in the day, the major reached for his wallet. It was gone. In its place was a valuable diamond ring. The ring had slipped off the crook’s finger. Among the many lessons to be drawn from this are: 1. Never be in too big a hurry, not even if you are a crook. 2. People who pick pockets should not wear stones. 3. Crime never pays. Speedy justice overtook the unknown Paris pickpocket, who lost a valuable ring, and gained only a few dollars. " The penalty, while almost instantaneous, was not exceptionally fast. The moment you do a crooked deed, you lose a certain amount of self respect and gain something of far less value. i *. CHAMPION’S GOLD Sammy Mandell, new lightweight boxing champion of the world, has just presented his sister with a $20,000 home in Rockford, 111. Previously he had bought a home for his father and retired him from his arduous job in a foundry. The sports waiters say that Mandell —whose real name is Mandello, he being an Italian —is a pretty poor excuse for a champion. They say he is not to be mentioned in the same breath with former holders of the title. Yet w§ somehow hope that Sammy hangs dn to his crown for some time to come. Champions make a lot of money, but not very many of them know what to do with it when they get it. Time you find out what it’s all about it’s all about something else. If the police ever get after ls we’ll get a job as vice president and never be noticed at all. There’s one fine thing about a straw hat. When you get real mad you can bite it. It’s an awful waste of money to raise a son and then let him do just as he dern plqases. Buffalo (N. woman was robbed in church by someone who should have been listening to the sermon.

ABOUT MOTHERS By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

The person who merits sympathy these days and never gets it is a parent. . , Never before have so many people been attending to oUr business for us; never have we been so criticised and lectured and cursed. Let us be very strict with our children and like as not we shall have the humane society upon us for cruelty. Let us be lenient an<f the preachers and the professors and the 1 judges tell us that w r e are causing the downfall of the Nation. Whatever we do, we are likely to be wrong. I would speak a word for the too Indulgent mother. They say it is fateful for us to give our children things we did not have; that if were were obliged to work and profited thereby, it is equally good for our children. We are warned continually aWbut indulging our sons and daughter*. / However, a lot of these admonitions come from people who have never borne children. They do not know how hard it is to say “no” to that boy who means all of life to you. They do not understand how easy it is for the soft young arms of your baby girl t® wear away your resistance. All of this talk about mothers sacrificing so much for their children is mostly bunk anywafy. Mothers want their children to have good times. They enjoy pleasures with them. Giving up things for them is a delight and not a hardship. Nothing can so break a mother's heart as to see her girl denied wholesome fun that other girls have. She wants her boy to have the same pleasures that others In his financial circumstances possess. God fashioned mothers thus. Perhaps they are soft and pliant, but the world be any better if they were changed? For to a real mother her children always remain somehow like the babies that she once so fpndly tended. She can never forget the lure of their smiles and the sweetness of their kisses. They always remain to her only her-infants grown talj. 1 I, too, think sorpetimes that our great love’ is our destruction, but not half as often as it is our salvation and the salvation of our children. These boys and girls who turn out badly do so ntft because their moth- • ers love them over-much, but because somewhere in their blood is a strain of evil which all maternal affection can never eradicate.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy A Smart Lawyer Puts the Scott Case Into a New Snarl,

, By M. E. Tracy Robert Scott pleads guilty to a murder for which his brother Russell was convicted and even now faces death on the gallows. As the presiding judge says, this confronts the court with a grave responsibility. Obviously, it would be unfair to impose any punishment lighter than death on Robert after he admitted a crime for yvhlch his brother had been sentenced to hang, though it has become the custom to reward confessed murderers in that way. But thf problem of what to do with Robert is overshadowed, or soon will be, by what car, or cannot be done with Russell. 4 If Robert killed the man, it follows that Russell old not, except, perhaps, in a most technical sense and that is not the sense in which he stands convicted. Can the higher court order anew trial for him under the circumstances, or will he be set free? If set free, can he be indicted and tried as an accomplice, or will the constitutional guarantee against second jeopardy for the same offense protect h^pi? -I- -I- I Hired Champions Back of all the theories involved is the more practical point that neither Russell nor his accusers can do much of anything without that expensive adjunct of justice, a smart lawyer. Russell’s wife, though she has chosen to do so in a most spectacular way, shows good, hard sense in trying to raise the money with which to get one. Her public fast, staged in a glass case, may look sensational, but the object of it goes right to the heart of her husband’s difficulty. We have built up a system, out of which nobody can get anything, except through the services of a hired advocate. We are back tp the old method of “trial by comoat,” but without realizing It. We don’t call upon accuser and accused to prove their case by fighting each other with sword, or bludgeon, as used to be the custom, but we do compel them to hire trained legal champions for about the same purpose, while the judge sits as an umpire and the jury votes on which side has twisted facts in the most convincing way.

Law Gone to Seed The law has gone to seed with mechanism, burying itself beyond recognition under the mass of its own rubbish. No wonder the American Bar Association is ashamed of the system which it serves, ashamed of the delays that have to play such an important part in its business, ashamed of the fact ; that the greatest experts no lotiger know the law, though the entire structure rest3 on the principle that “ignorance of the law availeth no man.” -I- -1- -1The Complex Complex One Congress, forty-eight States and a thousand and more city governments grinding out statutes, regulations and ‘ you can'ts," at such a rate that even the index clerks find it impossible to keep track of them —yet the veriest ignoramus is forbidden to plead that he doesn't know. Os course, Mrs. Russell Scott is taking the only logical way, even though she must starve herself in public to get the funds to pay a lawyer, who is clever enough to outmanuever the other side. And we call this fabric justice. -t- -|- -|. Make It a Science Take the Dwyer case in New York when an ex-rum runner stood up yesterday and told the court that he had landed boatload after boatload of booze at Bellevue dock with uniformed police looking on. Those police were as guilty as anyone connected with the enterprise, but what can the law do about It —the Federal law, with New York city cops? My own impression is that one of the greatest questions before thfs country is how to make the law more of a science and less of a game. At present, it is too' much of a sporting proposition, with the defendant forced to play the part of a medieval who married and “lived happily ever after, if her knight won, but was seized as legitimate prey by the other chap if he lost. -I- -I- ‘I. Justice Paid For It is "very common to hear people say that such or such a man would have been acquitted if he had had a different lawyer, or that the State would have won such or such a conviction if the prosecuting attorney had kn#wn his business. This is all based on the assumption anjl an altogether too correct assumption that the best lawyer generally wins. How is tlie average defendant to know who is the best lawyer and what good will it do him if he hasn’t the necessary amount of cash? How are the people to know who is the best lawyer when they elect a prosecuting attorney and what good will it do them if the State Legislature won’t permit them to pay enough to get thim? A system of justice based on sheer ability, bought and paid for in the open market, may have its advantages, but it Is devilish hard on poor people. BEFORE CHICAGO BOARD Lawrence V.

Cossart Is a Good ‘Old Soak,’ Thom a Big ‘AT and Douglass Splendid ‘Gal’

By Walter D. Hickman Those who go to the theater as well as- those who read about it are acquainted with one Clem Hawley, known on his Main St. as “The Old Soak,” and his two companions in hard drinkin’, “Al,” the bootlegger, and the hired girl In the Hawley household. The thing you want to know this day is just how the Walker Com-

pany is presenting this week at Keith’s. “The Old Soak” himself is in the most capable hands of Ernest Cossart. It will be no surprise to you if you have been following the work of this man on the stage to learn from me that Cossart is the old boy himself. Meaning that he is more convincing in the part than Raymond Hitchcock.

Mona Kingsley

“H itch y,” of course, burlesqued the character of the “soak” while Cossart plays it as a character and not as a cartoon idea of a “soak.” For that reason, Cossart makes Clem Hawley an actually living “old soak.” A mighty good piece of acting. John Thorn is the “Al,” the confidential bootlegger from whom Clem buys his hooch. Understand that Thorn played the role with Hitchcock and he sure Is playing it this week. Another real characterization. Margaret Douglass is the hired girl who liked her hooch and her parrot. A mighty funny characterization in the hands of Miss Douglass. The “sob” role of the long suffering wife is played graciously and honestly by Judith Lowry. Alan Floud is the two' faced Cousin Webster, the villain of the play. Another good piece of consistent character acring. Small parts are taken by Adelaide Chase, Larry Fletcher, Mona Kingsley and Victor Hammond. “The Old Soak” at Keith's this' weest stacks up as “-entertainment with many laughs and some thoughts on life that are not bad to remember. At Keith's all week. -Ivl- -I“THE FOUR FLUSIIER” IS ENTERTAINING STOCK SHOW Some shows seem to have been written for stock and such a show is “The 'Four-Flusher,” a story of a small town shoe clerk who attempted to spend a fortune before he actually inherited it. All the characters are from Main St.—the rich lady of alleged quality who wanted to marry her daughter to a gentleman of the daughter of the rich lady who wanted to marry the shoe clerk but didn’t have the nerve to break away from mother's apron string; the sappy son of the owner of the shoe store who tiled to run the poor hero out of the store; our hero, a poor shoe clerk,, who suffers and suffers and finally gets a fortune before the drop of the final curtain; a loud talking and swearing rich uncle who faints beautifully and finally threatens to leave his fortune to an insane asylum and the poor little feminine butterfly cashier who turns out to be the real gal for the shoe clerk hero. A successful formula and it works- out well on the stage. Sunday night when I saw the Berkell Players present “The FourFlusher” at English's. I knew that I had seen it before under another name with Gregory Kelly in the cast. I racked my memory but memory wouldn’t function just right. So I asked Mr. Berkell and he told me that Gregory Kelly opened in it here under the name of “A King For a Day.”

Milton Byron is playing the show clerk hero role along solid Main St. lines. He plays it ah a characterization instead of a whimsical attempt at pathetic comedy. I like the Byron characterization better in a comparative sense than the Kelly idea of the part. As the loud swearing bad tempered old Uncle Ira Whittaker, Herbert Dobbins has a role which he plays with perfect ease. The part is fconstructed and Dobbins plays it with such natural ease that he “walks away" with the show when he is on the stage. The next important part to get across is that of Robert Riggs, played by Robert St. Clair. He plays the role in the correct tempo to match the realistic interpretation given by Byron. Others in the cast include EdVthe Elliott, Jyes La Rue, J. F. Marlow, Mildred Hastings, Bernice Marsolais, Bob Fay, Dick Elliott, William V. Hull, Tom Coyle and Henrietta Flloyd. Just pleasant Entertainment is “The Four-Flusher” and acted in the same way. At English’s all week. -I- -I- J FOUR REAL ACTS SHINE ON NEW SHOW AT LYRIC When any vaudeville show can boast of four acts, any one suitable to top a bill, well, things are pretty good at that playhouse. That’s the

order at the Lyric this week. Am quite enthusiastic over four acts, as follows: 1- Dillln and Sico, instrumental players on a mandolin and kindred instruments or whatever they are.

the real leader In his line. Just about agree. He starts where most of ’em leave off. Stops the show In first spot, and that is going some. Real abiltiy does it. 4. Hollywood bathing models starts out very badly by parading on the stage in bathing suits, draped in Spanish shawls. After removing the shawls the girls transform themselves Into a woman's orchestra. Some real talent here. The saxophone work is more than good. Their blues number have the right tempo. Turns out to be an act of pleasing entertainment. John Alden plays the piano and the violin well and attempts to sing. He is assisted by four girls in a routine of dances. Act lacks novelty. The Charleston work is good. Red Mac Carter is billed as the nonsensical comedian and he lives up to part of the billing. He does a souse Impersonation because it gives him a chance to stage a series of trick falls. Joe and Elsie Farrell engage In somA pointless convesation in ’’A Close Shave.” Movies complete the bill. 4 At the Lyric this week. -I- -I- -!- BLIND SINGER WINS SUCCESS AT THE PALACE If you are a lover of music you will know what I mean when I tell you something about Mary Coward, at the Palace today and tomorrow. Her act opens with the man accompanist at the piano playing the music for 9. dance by Mile. Gala, the

little dancer with the company. As the girl is about half through her dance, Miss Cowerd starts to sing from the wings. She continues her song until the dancer has finished and then slowly walks onto the stage, singing the r.-st of the melody. # I listened to her finish this number and she was almost through another before I re-

alized that although she had been looking out on the audience all this time it was with eyes that saw not a thing. I think the simplest and greatest appreciation I can express for her charm and personality as expressed in her voice is that I listened to- her sing and watched her for ten minutes and did not know that she was blind, her voice w r as the only thing I paid any attention to an account of the wealth of personality in it. Larry Braddam and Mile Gala the other two members of the act are in a great measure responsible for it’s entertainment value. Mile. Gala the dancer, although she does not appear on the stage for any great length of time is exquisite in the numbers she does do. She is as graceful a dancer as we have seen in a long, time. Mr. Braddam besides flaying the accompaniment for Miss Cowards injects his personality into a couple of pleasing numbers of his own. Mildred Andre and company, consisting of Miss Andre wdth ftve girls and a young man, pep up the bill with some excellent violin music and some rather jazzy stepping. George Stone and loleen have an
