KNOW YOUR STATE INDIANA’S supply of artificial gas. at a high fuel standard prescribed by the public service commission, is plentiful and sold at rates averaging lower than the national city average. Always progressive, the managements of Indiana plants are beginning to infkrconnect their systems will carry gas between cities in the near future.

RESPECT FOR COURTS Let it'be hoped that the ninety-day sentences passed upon Parker and Armstrong by Federal Judge Baltzell will increase respect for courts and the dignity of judicial orders. , One of the foremost topics of discussion at the recent meeting of the American Bar Association was the growing disregard of the people for courts and for the laws. r j The great minds of the legal profession were haunted by shadowy alarm that the time might soon come, if not already hfre, when the ordinary citizen would lose all confidence in courts and we would revert to the day of private justice and redress for wrongs. These two m4n will spend the next ninety days in jail for violating an order issued by the com} restraining them from, interfering with the operation of street cars. They are, or were, organizers of the national union of street car employes. It is their business to organize unions. They hold the office of vice president in the national body. When they -came to this city, they received a rather unusual welcome The police put them in jail several times on vague charges of vagrancy and forced them to produce heavy bonds for th>;ir good conduct. At one time they had guarantees of $90,000 for their obedience to the statutes and criminal laws. They were never tried. All cases were dismissed. Then came the injunction and the charge that they had violated it by attending a strike meeting. That and a speech containing some slighting reabout injunctions in general, constituted their offense. The first charge against them, it is true, did allege that they had inspired or conspired or encouraged dynamiting of cars and violence. i But that charge, although presented by the district attorney, was withdrawn before the hearing. It is to be presumed that he was mistaken when he made it or that he could not prove it. The suggestion that this charge was withdrawn in order to avoid giving a trial by a jury is too abhorrent to be accepted. There had been dynamiting of cars and attempted terrorism of the public. There had been some injuries to passengers. And with these two organizers when they were sentenced were njembers of the union they had organized, who readily admitted that they had placed explosives on the track. Those who confessed to these acts of violence received sentences of twenty and thirty days in Jail. \ The men who did not urge the violence and did not inspire It, but who attended a strike meeting, received the ninety-day sentences. 1 Thus is a victory scored in the great crusade of courts to create confidence in justice. The men whe dynamited cars get twenty and thirty days in jail. The men adjudged guilty of contempt for an injunction forbidding them to encourage a strike get .ninety days. Some day we may all learn that it is unwise and dangerous To violate an order from a judge. WHAT DOES THIS PROVE? 7'here are 15,000 in New York City. Who said so? Well, we* have it on the word of Chester P. Mills, Federal prohibition administrator for that district. Thus there are more speakeasies in New York City today. Mr. Mills says, than there used to be licensed saloons in the whole State of New York. Only 13,005 licenses were issued for New York State during the year 1918. New York City, of course, may be an exception. Again it may not. Other Federal officers, In various parts of the country, may know where there are several thousand more bootleg places. If Mr. Mills knows where 15,000 are, must not the other agjents have tab of a few also? Suppose there were as many speak-easies scattered over the country, in proportion to population, as there are in New Yoak City? Roughly then, we would have around 345.000 speak-easies In this, the eighth year of prohibition. Os course, the rest of the country Is not so wet as New York. That is, we believe That is, we mean, we guess not. TARIFF AGAIN ISSUE Signs are accumulating that the tariff will be a major political issue in the next Congress, and the subsequent presidential campaign. The Democrats will seek to revision of the tariff a political issue and they have launched their preliminary onslaughts. But economic problems, national and international, will hqlp to focus*public The rapidly growing financial strength of this country, compared to Europe: the war debts’ problem, the immigration question, and the demand of Western farmers for farm relief, are some of the causes which will bring a demand of modification of the policy. Since 1912 the United States has increased its wealth at the rate of $5,000,000,000 a year, and this summer the Nation, according to a recent statement by Secretary Hoover, without the ballyhoo of a boom, Is making record-breaking economic strides. The Pennsylvania primary investigation has helped to focus attention on the tariff. It was disclosed that Joseph R. Grnndy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association, contributed *390,000 to help the nomination of Senator Pepper Grundy, a large textile manufacturer, and his associates, are benefactors of the tariff. Democratic Senators in their campaigns this summer are discussing tbe*tariff, and the entire question, ’according to Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, chairman of the Democratic senatorial committee,

cannot escape being an issue in the next Congress and the next presidential campaign. HOME REMAINS A CASTLE A man's heme remains his castle, fanatacism notwithstanding. A dry agent who invades your private premises without a search warrant does so at his peril. - That is what is meant by the verdict of not guilty returned by a jury at Steubenville, Ohio, where a man has been on trial charged with having shot to death a prohibition enforcement officer who invaded his home in search of booze. The raider showed no warrant. He presented no credentials. When asked what he was doing there, he replied: "It’s none of your damned business." Thereupon the raider* reached for his revolver and the householder made it considerable of his business by producing his own pistol and killing the trespasser. • The fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees citizens the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. It is a wise provision, intended to give us the privilege of living our own lawful lives, in our own homes, free to rear our own children in peace and quietude; secure there from the prying eyes of meddlesome Mother Grundys who would stick their over-busy noses into our own affairs. And now a Jury in the Bteubenville (Ohio) test case says that fanatics can not. by statute, set aside this constitutional guarantee It is well that America remaihs American. Liberty, long trodden under foot and grotesquely expressed by a club in the hands of snooping, golddigging dry officers, remains the vital thing for which our forefathers shed their blood. The rule of the pistol is a bad rule, regardless of the cause in which it is employed. It is unfortunate that the Steubenville man was forced to use a gun to protect his family from a shamoh\,s and unlawful invasion. We are sorry that some other way was not found: But these facts remain: Constitution-defying gumfoots In this city, in this State, in every State and city in the land, must learn at last that the ends do not always Justify the means. When they go forth to raid homes, they must be sure they go with clean hands. They must be sure they are clothed with the proper legal authority. The spirit of liberty-lives. A man’s home remains his castle. A jury of good American citizens has spoken.

THE NEW WEAPON The Fillpinps are establishing anew mode of fighting for Independence. Instead of arming themselves with bolos—their terrifying national weapon—their principal equipment. is composed of pens and typewriters. For their major offensives they use Cables and telegraph lines. v , • a . v They hope, they said, to win independence by convincing the American people that they are entitled to it. They think that if they could get a full statement of their case for independence before America they would win. Whether or not this plan of attack will prove successful remains to be Been. At any rate it represents a modern improvement upon the old way of going after independence, in the past has been to raise an army and start a fight. Our radio wouldn’t work so well. So we got $25 on it. Claim a Seattle man beat his daughter to death. A trifle drastic. Talk abont money for a sohg. Once we got an auto for ten notes. Some men have winning ways. St Louis girl stole $175 to elope. Rumor says a couple of movie stars may marry. Serves them right. Ambition is fine stuff. But be careful. Salmon are goldfish that grew big enough to be eaten. • They are recovering the bodies of good swimmers who wouldn't believe the current was too swift. A glacier would make a fine pet for the warm spell. There are 24,000,000 autos in the w-orld. Don’t read by a dim light. It ruins your eyes. OVER-ANXIOUS MOTHERS One of the greatest forms of feminine egotism Is to be recognized in the mother who refuses to leave her children for a single night. 'Thebe are many such women in the world. They cherish the idea that if they left their babies in the care of somebody else for twenty-four hours the world would crumble. They fondly imagine that by being forever present they are fulfilling their maternal duties. And can’t you imagine how tired the children must get of such a mother? Os course, we women who have babies probably never dream that the little darlings could ever,get bored with us. but I feel sure they must often do so, They may scream after us as we disappear, but the chances are that pur absence* will be a relief to them and that some new face hovering over them will be a pleasant change. , And how their eyes shine we return! How they beam at us and how their little hands caress that mother who has been out of their small world for a fime! The woman who is so full of the sense of her own importance that she wjll never go away is very shortsighted. Husbands cherish you more when they have been without your ministrations for v a tima. Children find you more precious when they have been deprived of your loving Service. Everybody loves you more after you hae been gone. And that mother who has never left her children does not know what real joy is, because she has never experienced the thrill of coming back to them. Life holds no more preasant sensation than the sight of those you hold most dear after your eager eyes have not rested upon their faces for a long and lonesome time—that, and the light you see shining in their eyes which lives alone for you. ✓V .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Senator Caraway Knows How to Please Children and Politicians,

By M. E. Tracy Senator Caraway of Arkansas finds President Coolidge a pathetic figure In the role of fisherman, but then Senator Caraway of Arkansas finds most everybody pathetic in one role or another. Governor A1 Smith is pathetic, because of the wetness ami religion that bar him from beinf,- elected President, though, as Senator Caraway opines, he could probably get the Democratic nomimtlon two years hence if the two-thirds rule were abolished. William G. McAdoo is pathetic, because he threw away all his chances by flirting with the Ku-Klux Klan, and Oscar W. Underwood is pathetic, because he did the same thing by knocking It. Having eliminated a good many bright prospects in tljis gloomy manner, the Senator turns prophet and forecasts that the Democrats will nominate some man unknown in 1928, that the Repaiblieans will do likewise and that the Democrats will win. which is one of those Delphic auguries with a happy ending that can always be depended on to please children and politicians. *1- -I- -ITen Deaths an Hour Ten live® are list through accident every hour in this country, says C. B. Scott, president of the Nation al Safety Council. With 85,000 deaths snd several million injuries, accidents cost the United States no less than $5,000,000 annually, he says. "Last year 21,000 boys and girts, less than 15 years of age met accidental deaths. Os this number, about 7.000 were killed on our streets snd highways." It is a discouraging picture, but has its brighter side. While the number of fatalities and injuries due to accident grows, the percentage decreases. In proportion to population, wv are not killing and crippling as many persons, by 10 per cent, as wc were twenty years ago. -I- -I- -IIt is but a part of the terrible game we play that people should be crushed and crippled. Speed and power have been carried quite beyond individual capacity. We turn to system, discipline and I mechanical device* for relief, but only to find that other doors are left open. With two out of every three policemen on traffic duty, the murderer and thief have a better chance. + -H- 1 m Too Busy Policemen The very problem of industrial accidents and the strenuous efforOs we are making to solve It, offer no small part of the explanation for our crime wave.

Who killed Don R. Melletd, Billy MeSwiggin and Bert Donaldson? Fifty years ago, we would have had a better chance to find out. be cause more of our sheriffs and peace officers would have had more time to work. + + + Donaldson’s Tragedy What a picturesque career Bert Donaldson had! A thug turned prosecutor: a bandit. salvaged by fate, as it would seem, to become the nemesis of the very gangs he once trained with. You can’t eclipse his record in the wildest fiction. Once he was convicted of murdsr, though wrongly, and again of robbery. While serving a light sentence In the Federal Prison n Atlanta for the latter crime, he was converted, became a social worker, then a Presbyterian minister and finally an assistant to the solicitor general of Georgia, which position he held at the tinae he was assassinated in a hotel room last Thursday night. To make the tragedy of his death still more romantic, he had recently come into wealth, and was planning to retire Just as soon as he caught Floyd Woodward, head of the million dollar bunco which he and Solicitor General Boykin had broken up. •I- -I- -IHeroes, All! * Bert Donaldson was the victim of organized crime. Just as Mellett and MeSwiggin were victims. Three good men: one in Atlanta, one In Chicago and' one in Canton, devoting their lives to protect the public, and shot down like dogs for it. + •!* •!• Poincare Forges Ahead Within Just one week after the constitution of his cabinet, Raymond Poincare put through the first of his financial measures for rehabilitating France. This swift success stands out in dramatic contrast to the failure of Brland and Herriott. It clearly marks a restoration of public confidence and a return of poise to the French parliament. The increase of taxes already provided for will give France an addition of 2,500.000 francs this year.* and 9,000.000 next year. Poincare’s next move will be to establish a sinking fund, which means the setting aside of a certain portion of the revenue so that It cannot be used for any other purpose to pay off the public debt.

Two and Two Makes Four in Arithmetic, but Does It Do It on the Movie Screen?

By Walter D. Hickman ' $f I remember correctly the late John P. D. John had a lecture on “How Wide Is An Inch?” Yesterday when I saw Pauline Frederick on the Ohio screen. I asked myself this question: Two and two make four in arithmetic, but does it do it cm the movie screen? After seeing Miss Frederick Ir. “Her Honor the Governor" yesterday I had the feeling, doesn't two and two make five sometimes? I

mean, of course, in a \ dramatic serse. Two and two always makes four, but is a courtroom scene in the movies and on the stage always a courtroom scene? Only a judge, and I believe a newspaperman, knows what the real courtroom is. There is of course a dramatic license, but dramatic license in such often runs far away from realism.

IUI ■ HpjSn

Pauline Frederick

Judge James A. Collins of the Marion County Criminal Court knows that two and two always makes four, but.ln a dramatic problem there may be reasons for the same formula making a different total. But Judge Collins knows the Iw says that two and two makes iour- Why don’t the movie writers and the film directors know this great truth? Some day when a movie writer insists on a courtroom scene. I am going to suggest that Judge Collins be invited to Hollywood, or whereever the picture is being qiade, so that hq can direct the courtroom scene. Then we would have, dramatically and legally speaking, two and two make four in the movie courtroom. 1 am very sincere in this after seeing “Her Honor the Governor.” For a while in the courtroom scene of this movie. I thought that at last we fiad a courtroom scene on the screen that Judge Collins and all the world could recognize as a real courtroom scene. Then all of a sudden it was decided that Miss Frederick should "emote," and she emoted all over the screen. Fine acting but it isn't law and it isn’t good theater. Somebody decided' that two and three make four. Dramatic license, the trim director tells me. But let me suggest that I have B een great drama, the greatest possible drama enacted in the courtroom of Judge Collins in my newspaper experience. And here was a read courtroom with Judge Collins and real drama. 1 can’t understand why a director of movies, especially one who enjoys to photograph realism, doesn’t visit a real court some time before he attempts to photograph it. In this Frederick movie we have a courtroom scene at its beginning which looks like the real article. And it proceeds for some time. Detail after detail of the real- article la included and then Pauline Frederick as the mother and governor of a State and the mother of the defendant, on trial for murder, bursts out in a lecture to the jury. And that outburst Is permitted by the judge in this movie. Do you think any real Judge or any real prosecuting attorney would tolerate that? I don’t want you to get the impression that “Her Honor the Governor” is all wrong. It isn’t and most of the time it is corking good theater. The story gets into the heart. Os course the big item is that Pauline Frederick is given a grand dramatic opportunity. In fact many of them. It is her picture. When it comes to emoting, ' Pauline Frederick is the best artist we have before the screen today. If the director and the movie writer had known court room methods a little 'ctter, “Her Honor the Governor” would have been one of the ten best of the year. As it Is, it stands as a fine example of what one great dramatic

Movie Verdict CIRCLE—“PaIs ( First” ‘ is pleasant entertainment, the sort of a movie which makes one thankful for the screen. OHIO Pauline Frederick does some*really great fh-amatle worjt in “Her Honor the Governor.” Story not so strong and the directing .not so realistic as needed, but Miss Frederick is always the great artist. COLONIAL—A new type of melodrama arrives. Might be called the melodrama of wiggles. Such is “Yellow Fingers.” APOLLO— The Observer has a lot of nice things to say about "Laddie.”

The single overarm

Care should be taken to throw the arm Just high enough and not too high, so that the arm will splash when It goes Into the water. The elbow should be bent as it comes above the water and the hand reached forward and into the water

and emotional artist can do on the 1 screen. And for that reason I to j see some fine dramatic acting on the j part of Pauline Frederick In “Her t Honor the Governor ” Bill includes Charier Chase In I “Mighty Like a Moose,” Britt Wood and his harmonica and other events. At the Ohio all week. .•I- -I- + HAVE THE HUNCH THAT ALL IS WELL AT THE CIRCLE Rather think that you will agree with me that all is well at the Circle this week when you see Lloyd Hughes, Alec Francis and George Cooper in "Pals First.” Here is a comfy little human yarn that starts out where It should end and then

m

comes back to where it starts. This method keeps you guessing most of the time concerning who is Richard -Castleman and Danny Rowland. As Lloyd Hughes plays both roles, the guessing is more complete. The fact is that the theme of "Pals First” fits very nicely into the movie atmosphere. It is corking fun all the time and

Alec Francis

mighty good theater as suspense and the love interest work hand in hand. I am not going to tell you" the story but I am sure that it will keep you interested and guessing all the time. It has been said that we who go to the movies to tell the others about 'em have our favorites. I have only a few, but Alec Francis is one of 'em. I get hardbolled sometimes when a foolish director casts Alec all wrong or the movie writer does a punk Job of creating a character for him. But give Alec half a chance and he would turn a character out of a tramp. And that is just what he does this week In "Pals First.” In the beginning of this picture he appears as a genuine old tramp with Floyd Hughes and George Cooper. George, of course, is the clown. Francis Is the lovable old dear all the time and Hughes, well, Hughes keeps you guessing. Here are three human pals with Francis. Hughes and Cooper doing a lot of individual acting which is the real article. I know that I am not wrong in telling you that "Pals First” is mighty comfy entertainment. Now I will go to the music. There are three separate groups on this week’s program at the Circle. These groups are as follows: A James Fitzpatrick melody series, "Songs of Ireland”; the Yale Collegians, and Vesa Ossman. banjo player, and Helen Grey, a dancer. The Yale Collegians have a, routine which doesn’t impress one as being too routine. This is helped this week, because the Circle has booked separately Ossman and Miss Grey. These two appear during the Collegians’ act. Os course. T think that the wise thing to do would be not to present Ossman as A part of the Collegians, as Ossman Is.such an artist that he could do his Individual turn with Miss Grey instead of appearing with the orchestra. Both the orchestra and Ossman have sufficient claim to merit that they do not have to be bunched. The fact is that we have two mighty fine acts In one. Ossman knows his banjo and he knows the theater* His last number is a transformation number which gets over with a bang. Been done in the big stage revues, yes. but Ossman has enough showmanship to put over this stunt with such a bang thft'K registers with a bang. You probably will accuse me of liking this man. I do. I think he Is a fine artist, as fine as we have on the banjo. The Collegians have an individual organization. They know that it is suicide to go wild over this jazz stuff. Their entire offering is a pleasant mixture of many degrees of musical tastes. Result—satisfaction. You know I have a weakness for these Fitzpatrick melody movies with the assistance of the Circle ensemble. W> have Irish music set to an Irish picture. Charming. A real treat. At the Circle all week. A WTGGLE HERE AND A WIGGLE THERE— The wiggle melodrama has arrived and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised that we will have a lot of this sort of thing the coming season. The second that I was announced that Gilda Grey was going In the movie*. I knew right tbwfe and

while the elbow is bent. This keeps the muscles well uhder control and is[ not nearly so tiring as a fully outstretched arm meeting the full leverage resistance of the water> (Copyright. 1928, NEA Service, Inc.)

there that the wiggle melodrama had arrived. The first example of this "new” form of entertainment/ is on view at the Colonial this

week under the title of "Yellow Fingers." It has been decided by somebody on the stage and on the screen that a South Sea Island dame can wear as few clothes as ths ocean and get by with it. I have seen that happen many tiifiee on the stage. >nd being conn.octed some way with the South Sea Island we expect to see some

lb yV■M

Olive Borden

female shake a | wicked piece of shredded wheat, or that which should be covered by said shredded wheat. The fact remains that Olive Borden as the quaint-faced little heroine of this "Yellow Fingers” melodrama doesn't use shredded wheat, but another .garment about as scanty. And how Olive 'can wiggle. She must have heard that Gilda Grey had packed her shredded wheat and had gone ifcto the movies. And so Olive goes Gilda one better, by doing the same dance without shredded Gilda has no monopoly On 1 wiggles. Olive proves that in “Yellow Fing£rk.” And that explains fully about all there is to "Yellow Fingers.” It is the old Luana stunt done in a differsnt setting and by different actors. You will be interested in Bartram and Saxton, two singers, who are pretty well known in this city by previous visits. They know how to build a good program of melody. As you know the Colonial has just reopened after being closod for a week for house cleaning. And so under the hew policy of stage presentations, we have thiq week Bartram and Saxton, two men, who know when and what to sing. It takes a little time to introduce anew policy and if anybody in the world can do that big thing, then Bartram and Saxton are the ones. Floyd Thompson and his American Harmonists, "The Thirteenth Man,”, a News Reel and Aesop Fables, complete the bill. x - At the Colonial all week. , THE OBSERVER SEEMS TO LIKE "LADDIE" AT APOLLO There was one person who knew that romance ■was to be found with-' in the boundaries of our good old State. That woman was Gene Stratton Porter, and her name will be remembered as long as Indiana endures as the one who sought out the natural beauty of the State and wove it Into romances and stories that have provided pleasure *f(jr thousands who before had thought of Indiana as "just that State between Illinois and Ohio.” In "Laddie,” picture at the Apollo for the week, we have ihe authoress in one of her happiest moods. The setting is on an Indiana farm close to the big forest found so often in Porter's books. We are taken into a family that is to be found in any part of the State, farmers who center their life in their home, their church and their work. "Laddie,” the central character, is a young fellow who has followed in the footsteps of his father and is content to remain on the farm. Into the calm life so pictured comes an English family of apparent wealth who settle themselves In the community Avith an air of mystery. In this family is a beautiful daughter and "Laddie,” as is to be expected, fails in love with her. There is a mystery attached to the English family's silence and seclusion, anh it turns out to be In connection with their son. A rather improbable twist is given the story in this "connection, but it is ell right. Jehn Bowers, Bess Flowers, and Gene Porter a grandniece of the authoress are the featured members of the cast and their work is of a high order. Os Miss Porter we would like to say that she has every appearance of turning out to be as fine an actress as her aunt was a writer. She gives the picture many of It’s best qualities. Included on the bill are a News Reel, Comedy and a trumpet solo by Jack Wright. The organ numbers are by Lester Huff. At the Apollo all week. (By the Observer.) •!• -I- -IOther theaters, today offer: "The Swan” with McKay Morris, ‘George Gaul and Ann Davis at Keith’s; "The Lady Next Door’’ at English’s; the Pantheon Singers at the Palace; Jolly Juniors at the Lyric; Tom Mix in "Tony Runs Wild” at the Isis and “Th*> Love Thief" with Norman Kerry at the Uptown.

In the fourteenth century, after the invention of pins, makers Were not allowed to sell them except on the Ist and 2d days of January.

It be-, came the custom for the women to. put aside a bit of money now ant T J then throughout the year so that 1 they might have sufficient with which to buy pins on the Ist and 2d of January. This came to be known as pin money, and by natural development the phrase has come to mean small amounts of money made or set aside for some special purpose.

Times Readers Voice Views Editor of The Times: Is Indiana to be subjugated to the corrupt campaign contributions so recently exposed in Illinois, where Samuel Insull, extensive operator in this stater is reported to have given ,almost $200,000 to the campaigns of various candidates for United States Senator? Are the utilities which Insull controls, including those in Indianapolis, to be perpetuated and protected against wholesome competition lw authority granted by a commis sion subject to influences which Insull so liberally and boldly ma nipulates? No wonder that the Peoples Motor Coach Company, which has asked *elve or ijioro routes in Indianolis during the past fifteen months, has been turned down time after time in favor of the street railway company. No wonder that Insull feels safe increasing his holrW ings in other Indianapolis utilitieiß No wonder the merits of the appli cations of the bus oompany have been ignored and the street railway company given almost anything it wants fn'orn the-governing body. No wonder the indifference to the welfare of the public in relation to public transportation. No wonder the head of the street railway company refuses to consider represematives of employes of the company, who have witnessed an increase of 25 per cent in the fares paid and have never had a cent advance in their wages.
