■ PASS THIS AMENDMENT Whatever happens in the November election, let It be hoped that the first of the proposed amendiments to the Constitution will be carried emphatl* Ically. I it provides that the Legislature may provide for ■election of all judges at elections separate and apart I from the election of other officers. It Is the first and necessary step to take the courts out of politics. Only the most guileless and trustful would believe that there is not a very close relationship between the courts and the politicians, especially in Marion County. \ It is one of the sad commentaries 'on conditions in this county that lawyers understand that when certain law firms represent clients before certain judges that they have no chance of prosecuting a case, no matter how just. It Is one of the shameful conditions that even lawyers accept such a situation without protest. It Is accepted as a part of our system that men who want favorable actions in some courts see political bosses, not attorneys, and rely upon jugglery, not justice, to win. It is not the best recommendation for impartial justice that certain law firms are known as “political firms,’’ always called in when something more than evidence and precedent are needed to win. That situation comes from the fact that judges are forced to depend upon politicians and political bosses for their nominations and elections. It comes from the combination of the Judicial election and partisan politics. We expect judges to be Impartial and yet select them because they are Democrats or Republicans, not because they are honest, intelligent and learned in the law. We pick them because of their ability to get votes and expect them to affront their friends, if these friends happen to have cases before them. The election of judges at partisan elections is an open Invitation to injustice, partiality and corruption. That there is not more is the surprise. And yet there is so much that a special judge recently released a prisoner brought before him because he was the only one that day for whom no politician had whispered a plea outside of court. This amendment will make it possible to elect judges on some other than a partisan basis. It was forced by public indignation at present conditions and will be fought by the politicians and the bosses who look upon courts and judges as assets in politics. Watch the candidates for office. Whenever you find a candidate for any office fighting this amendment, make up your mind, unless you want crooked courts and coerced judges, that he will not represent your interests. t And vote and urge your friends to vote for this amendment.

DEMOCRATIC TAX PROGRAM It may be true, as some Democratic national leaders declare, that President Coolldge and Secretary Mellon are withholding a tax reduction now in order to have such a reduction come In 1928, for the good it will do the Republican presidential ticket. If that is all there is in the situation, Democrats are justified in proposing to force the reduction during the coming session of Congress. Their purpose, in part at least, is to obtain the political credit. They seem incapable of learning that every time they improve the tax situation thqy strengthen Coolidge politically. Coolidge gets the credit, ho matter whether he reduces taxes voltmtarfly or IS clubbed into doing it. However, the Democrats would be justified in forcing further reduction if it would serve public policy and the business of government can be carried on jlvith less money. \ But one factor in the proposed reduction seems to be a plan to use money received as payments on war-time debts from European countries." The present policy is to use such sums to retire our own war bonds. The Democratic leaders are talking of extending the time for the redemption of these bonds, in order to reduce taxes. They would pass the expenses of the war along to later generations. And that is wrong. Later generations will have their own troubles. The recent war wasn’t their war. They may have intelligence enough to prevent another such holocaust. If they have they shouldn’t be burdened with the expense of ours. Reduce, of course, if the Government doesn’t require the money, but so long as our present wartime debt hkngs over us, the Government does need the money. AGE AND ROMANCE Over the wires on Saturday came the news of two weddings which were really news because of the age of the parties involved as well as their prominence. An opera singer, whose golden voice has thrilled mousands, and commanded $2,500 a night for four songs, before whose art and melody the great of the world, from presidents to kings, have, bowed in homage, is to marry. Youth, as far as years are concerned, has gone ‘ from her. She frankly gives her age as 60 years. The man who wishes her la a little less than half that age. lie lnsista, when his parents and friends try to stop his marriage to “an old woman’’ that he loves her voice and her soul, the beauty of her dreams. For him the wrinkled cheek and the whitened hair do not exist. And for her, he brings back the romantic hours when dreams were new and when men sobbed as she broke their hearts with het melody. Her friends, too, are laughing at her for what they term a very foolish effort to grasp agajn the In* A' . \

tangible thing called romance, which is ever young. The other wedding was that of a man who is about the age of the singer, who kad won for himself a fortune and a title from Britain by his genius as a builder, who also has passed beyond the meridian of life. His bride is a girl looking through the gates of womanhood, young, educated, attractive. His friends, too, are shaking their heads in doubt as to the possibility of happiness in an alliance between age and youth and recalling the many instances of disaster that have come from such attempts. The friends of the girl are also shuddering, perhaps, at the thought of what may happen when an old man’s darling forgets his title. She says that eho admires genius, sincerity and ability, which nujoßng man can offer. Write your own answer as to whether romance Is a matter of years and whethar these people are very foolish or very courageous. And when you are writing it, remember that in these days we are finding that our old theories of age are disappearing and that today we are only as old as we believe we are. The day has gone when It is indecent for a woman to dance after forty or for a man to look at fifty as the pinnacle from which he can look forward but to the grave. RomanQc is a matter of something else. Perhaps these people have found its meaning. At least let us hope so.

GIVAN DESERVES THANKS In addition to the contribution made to the fund of common honesty, Judge Clinton H. Givan performed a real public service when he wrote his decision in the matter of Dempsey and Wills. It required no little courage and deep understanding of what is lacking in America to call attention to the Dempsey actions during the World War. Judge Givan reminded the people of this country that Dempsey was very peaceful when the best young men of this country were fighting for S3O a month and a very formidable fighter when it is a matter of a million dollars a night. This country needed that jar to its complaceny. The big I hiladelphia celebration of one hundred and fifty years of liberty has been, up to this time, a financial failure. It Is a magnificent exposition. It Is worthy of the high purpose to which it Is dedicated. Yet it has failed to capture the Imagination or the attention of our citizens. No one seems to care much about liberty or the men who won freedom by sacrifice and at the risk of their lives. And in order to make this celebration of liberty less of a bankrupt enterprise, the directors call in a man who did not fight when his country was in danger of losing some part pf her liberty and sovereignty. There is a spectacle which might make the ghost of Ben Franklin come back to haunt his wellloved city. The comment of Judge Givan Is quite as valuable as the legal effect of hla decision. It may make some people stop and ponder as to just how far we are putting our ideas of liberty and the eternal fitness of some things into the background. ~ Chy robbers pulled a man’s gold tooth.

YOUR MA IS SENTIMENTAL, BUT SO’S YOUR OLD jfIAN

"By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Do newspapers cater to women readers? This is tin reason, says one prominent-editor, for the excessive publicity given to the N illness and death of Rudolph Valentino. Certainly women read newspapers more than ever before. And most of them care little for the stock market reports or political prophecies. Having a mind brought up on details they are not content with large and sweeping facts. They want every trifling incident in every sob story and murder mystery. And so long as they continue to do much more than half the buying In the cour.lry, it seems only just and reasonable that the editors should appeal to their tastes in the news columns. A great' many women grieved when Rudolph Valentino died. This is not because he was handsome and a screen star and wore the latest thing in clothes. To them he was the perfect lover, something none of them has ever had. „ For woman is an insatiable romanticist. She lives in a dream world, and above all things else she longs to be loved with an affection which can neither be measured nor destroyed. Underneath her calm and often middle-aged exterior, she hugs to her heart romantic dreams. Her soul gropes into the infinite searching for something to satisfy itself. To such women Valentino was something more than a mere movie actor. He was lover that lives only in the dreams of women. He typified the thing for which every feminine soul longs—the love that cannot exist upon a transitory earth. Thus we admit to the charge of sentimentality. But in accusing us of such want of poise, are not the men merely blustering while they too hide such romantic sensations under a cold exterior? When it comes to being sentimental, the men trail right along after the women, only they refuse to admit the truth. Investigation would probably prove that the men read the stuff about Valentino with as much gusto as the worsen. We are very much alike when it comes to things of the heart.

Tracy

England Refuses to Accept Book of Genesis Literally.

By M. E. Tracy England Is Christian, but not fundamentalist, according to a newspaper poll. Belief in a personal god, linmortality of the soul, and the divinity of the Jesus was endorsed by approximately three out of every four voting, but when it came to accepting the first chapter of Genesis as the true story of the creation, the verdict went against it by about seven to five. •I- -I- -IA Stupendous Subject Creation—what a stupendous subject, with stars still beyond the telescope and living entities beyond the microscope. Not only the bigness of it all, but the minuteness Staggers the mind. If it is hard to think of the universe, it is also hard to think of a solar system within an atom, and if it is difficult to visualize the earth as inhabited by millions of people, It is even more difficult to realize that the human body contains fifteen times as many separate cells. When you go from the physical to the intellectual, horizons seem even farther away. Einstein sp.’.d there weren’t more than twelve men in all the world who could read his theory understanding^. Finding History It is commonly supposed that If we are punished by the present and unable to penetrate the future, we at least know something about the past, but even there we are still learning. Legend is constantly giving way to written history, while history Is giving way to pick and spade. We are finding civilization not mentioned in the books and cities, where we did not imagine men ever lived. -|- -|. -|. * Ohio’s Contribution They have been digging in the Ohio mounds this summer, finding more Implements of copper and unearthing stronger proof that wiser folks than the Indians lived tfcere once.

The com crop Is down this year, nearly two bushels to the acre, which doesn’t sound so big until you remember that there are about 100.000,000 acres. Spring wheat Is down too, but taken all around, wheat shows a bigger yield than last. The average man is not greatly interested what happens generally, however, except as it Influences the market.

With the people wrought up over 6ome national issue, the way Maine votes might count, but in a year like this what difference could it possibly make? Yet the politicians are out * with their pencils and scratch pads as usual. Since Maine is pretty sure to go Republican, the problem has become one of percentage. If the Democrats poll a vote or two mqre than they did at the last election, it is assumed that the Democrats everywhere have a better right to be hopeful. Just a tradition that you can’t explain, hut that continues to cut quite a figure. For a month before Maine votes, each party is trying to make her do what it wants, and for a month afterward, each is just as busy trying to prove that It succeeded. Maine is like the speakers, literature and cash that come rolling in every other year, and the country at large likes to fool itself. •I* -I- -IRight Here at Home Meanwhile, the country at large has nothing to get exicted about this campaign, or thinks it has, and

the entire situation is developing to the tune of local issues and local leaders. I traveled through Indiana last week and never heard so much political scandal in the same length of time. There was talk about the tariff, the Wofld Court, economy, farm relief and some other things on the surface, but when you go down deeper. It was mostly a matter of whispering a'nd insinuation. Either Indiana has turned its literary talents to the production of anew brand of fiction, or conditions are pretty bad. -I- -I- •!• Then Massachusetts In Massachusetts, the case of Sacco and Vanzetti has become an oveTshadowing issue and the senatorship is likely to turn on it. These two men were convicted of murder some five years ago, and were supposed to have had a fair trial, especially with all the appeals taken and heard, but many people t have believed that they were railroaded as radical labor leaders. This belief has been strengthened by the recent confession of Madeiros, a condemned murderer, which, if true, would seem to clear them.

‘Rhapsodians’ At Eyrie and Minstrels i At Palace Top Stage Bills for Weelc

By John T. Hawkins The Lyric this week in the "Rhapsodians" has a musical act that abounds in tuneful melodies and good dancing. Are four people in the act and each knows how to entertain in his own manner. We have a dan# cer, a soprano solist, violinist and pianist. Was most interested*in the violinist who, in his solo selections, displayed shrewd judgment in his choice of numbers. First he played a part of “Gypsy Sweetheart” from the "Fortune Teller” and as an excellent second number played the “Indian Love Call" from “Rose Marie.” The soprano has a pleasing voice and displays the same happy judgment In song numbers. The dancer in her several specialties offers some good foot work, especially in her toe dances. Russell Robinson and Eber Grubb with their jazz orchestra have a well mounted act with many specialty

.WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW.

Viking ship in which Leif the Lucky first discovered the coat of North America in the year 1000 A. D. Durnc the more than nine hundred years the last voyage of Leif to the coming of this modem Viking ship under Captain Folgero of Norway, no other ship so small has made the stormy journey. Clara Sharpe Hough, the novelist, in her historical romance “Leif the Lucky,” which The Century Company has just published, paints a vivid picture, it is said, of how the Vikings first made landfall on the coast of Massachusetts, engaging the Indians in battle and wintering there three years successively. Twenty times during the voyage the Captain and his little crew gave themselves up for lost, surrendering themselves with pathetic trust to the aid ofHhe “Big Man,” as the Norse sea-farers still call the Deity. Mrs. Hough points out in her novel how the original Leif and his crew made sacrifice and cried their prayers to the old Scandanavlan Gods, Wotan and Thor, when storms swept over them, iorgettting the White Christ whose precepts they had only vaguely learned. Just “Jim” When Frank Wilson Nye, the son of the famous American humorist Bill Nye. and ai ranger of the autobiography Bill I .'ye: His Own Life Story, which The Century Company publlshres Sept. 24 was asked why all his friends call him “Jim,” contrary to his name as registered on his birth certificate and signed to the checks which he exchanges for legal tender at the bank, Mr. Nye gave this explanation; , “My father Bill Nye had as his

Fill an enameled or agateware kettle partly full of water in which has been dissolved one teaspoon of washing or baking soda and one teaspoon saltgto each quart of water, heat the solution to the boiling point, put in strips of aluminum or bright zinc, add the tarnished silver and boil it. The silver must be covered completely by the water, and each piece must be in contact with the aluminum or zjno either directly or through other silver. When the tarnish has disappeared, the silver should be removed from the kettle, washed and dried with a clean, soft cloth. How ran vegetables he cooked to retain their natural color? Spinach, peas and beans will hold their bright green, beets their rich red, carrots their golden yellow and cabbage can come out of the kettle as delicately green as it went in if boiled in a small amount of water and cooked only until they are done and not a minute longer. Spinach and some other greens need no more water than that which clings to the leaves after washing and can be cooked in ten to fifteen minutes, Peas, beans, beets and squash and most other vegetables need Just enough water to cover them and will cook in from 15 to 35 minutes depending on their size. Cabbalge requires a short time also and should be taken off the fire as soon as it is tender. This method of cooking insures against yellow and mushy vegetables and makes them easier to digest.

best friend Jim Riley (James Whitcomb Riley, the children's poet). There was so much talk in our house about Jim by Bill Nye that my elder brother decided he wanted to have a Jim, too. So he began to call me Jim as my father called Riley. The name stuck to me so firmly that sometimes I almost forget my own.” Young “Jim ’ Nye is a prominent advertising man of New York City. His talks last year at the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of Bill Nye's birth were widely quoted In the press.

The things done this year are singing a song while drinking, singing a duet with himself and a very realistic number by Miss Walters when she makes the “baby” cry. Lynn and Una Wesley have a comedy act which gets many laughs. Ossie and Llnko are an acrobatic team with several good features.

After the minstrel opening the act splits up into a number of different specialties by the men present. First is a tap dance by two men. It is an excellent example of this type of work. Next is a southerJ number in which we are transplanted into the cotton region of the South. In this we are given a touch of an "Old Black Joe” theme and quite a bit of comedy is worked in. Next in order Is a quartet. The men have splendid voices and were called back several times at the time of review. The next big comedy event was a very clever Impersonation of Moran and Mack, those two famous blackface comedians. These two men have a style and method that Is hard to copy, but Mr. Fitch and his partner in the number have succeeded admirably in catching the spirit of the two original comedians. They have laughs galore. Much of their stuff has been lifted bodily, apparently, and is Just as good from these two men las when I heard it originally. . In succession we have some numbers by an orchestra, an impression of Harry Lauder and the crowning comedy event of the act, a burlesque impersonation of a. pair of Spanish dancers in black face. This bit, to me, is original as I have never seen it done in this way before and it certainly packs a big wallop in the way of fun. Included on the bill is a photoplay "The Family Upstairs" and a News reel. At the Pajace today and tomorrow. * -|- -I- -|.
