KNOW Y()UR STATE INDIANA / home building operations are expected to reach a value in excess of $35,000,000 during the calendar year. This figure represents normal progress, entirely, there having been no city or section with an extraordinary development during the year.

LOUIS C. HUESMANN Were It given to men to select the time and manner of the inevitable passing from earth, it Is quite likely that Louis C. Huesmann would have chosen to leave it as he Uhl when death beckoned as he marched in line with his fellow citizens in the movement for a greater and better city. For all his life he had been doing just thatmarching in line with his fellow citizens In any movement that made for better things for the city he loved. Few other citizens have given as much of their time and their thought and their fine Ideals to Indianapolis. Few others have gained that universal respect, esteem, trust and close ties of friendship which was his. , No enterprise that interpreted the ideals, the ambitions, the great heart of this city lacked his support or his aid. He was ready to give not only his money but himself to these many causes. The community fund, Butler College, the Riley Hospital, needed and received his thought and his counsel and his unfailing interest. His life typified the fine'ideals of good citizenship, for he made his citizenry a serious matter and his city a sacred thing to be served. That he will be missed whenever men again gather to discuss plans and projects for Indianapolis is a mild statement. The hope that his example will inspire other men to so devote themselves to the public good is the highest tribute that could be paid to his memory.

NORRIS AND DAVID REED "That,” said Senator David A. Reed of Pennsyl-. vania, “just shows the kind of a Republican Senator Norris is.” He referred to the fact the Nebraska Senator is planning to campaign in Pennsylvania against William S. Vare, the Republican nominee. Senator David Reed is one of the most interesting personalities that Pennsylvania politics has produced. He is comparatively young and full of zip. He has views on a lot of things and seldom hesitates to express them. And since there is usually a certain sharp intelligence behind his views, other Senators are inclined to listen to him. But the remark quoted will 'cause a smile among his colleagues. All the other Senators have known for a long time the kind of a Republican Senator Norris is. They know that he has only one master and that that master isn’t any State committee, or State boss, or even any bank or banker. It is only himself. When Norris listens to his master’s' voice, he is listening to his own conscience. He has a lot of respect for the voice of the people, but even that isn’t allowed to drown out his master’s voice. There are ninety-odd Senators in the "United States Senate who would like to be as free as Senator Norris. All .the other Senators likewise know what kind of a Republican Senator David Reed is. He’s a pretty independent fellow, too. He is prepared to take a view opposite to the regular party view when his reason tells him th 6 party view is wrong. He is ready to speak forcibly on such occasions and not worry about the consequences. That is, he is like that up to a certain point. The certain point is when he hears his master’s voice. And his master’s voice is the Mellon bank of Pittsburgh. This has been revealed quite clearly on various occasions, the latest being in this very mattey of supporting William S. Vare. David Reed considered Vare so unworthy of election to the Senate that he participated actively in the Mellon brothers' two-million-dollar campaign against him. He said some terrible things about Mr. Bill Vare. But Mr. Bill was nominated and Reed is prepared to help him tQ election. What changed Reed’s position? Not his mind nor his conscience. No. His master's voice. There really isn’t much difference between Senators Norris and Reed, when you get right down to it. Each is a Republican. Each listens to his master’s voice. There’s little difference between the men. The difference lies between their masters.

FEEL SAFE, NOW? If you have any idea that your constitutional rights and privileges are being invaded in this county and city, feel safe. You may be very sure, if the experiences of Mayme Lucas and Lee Shelton and George Hollsworth are at all indicative, that tyranny lurks around the cornpr or that officers of the law will rob you of your heritage. * , You may not know Mayme. Perhaps yon do. Very many people, so it would seem, enjoy her acquaintance. She was clown in the municipal court Tuesday, due to persistence of policemen. She had an address at the Georgia apartments, at least she did rent two flats there on Aug. 30 when tyranny threatened her. • There had been delays in getting the case against her brought to trial, for the police had been unkind enough to charge her with bootlegging and vagrancy. , TJie regular judge, Dan White, was hurdled when her lawyers filed a motion for change of venue and the case was sent to Fred McCallisteer, as a special Judge. But, McCallister wag busy Tuesday and so when she came into court she faced Lawrence Shaw, well known for his political activities in the Coffin machine. ,/ It is true that Joe Rand Beckett, who was prosecuting the case for the persistent policemen, objected to Shaw, He said he failed to find any legal way a special judge cou'd send in a substitute to bat for him at the last minute, and accordingly any trial

would have about as much legal weight as a hearing before a newsboy in a back alley. But Shaw thought differently and the case proceed od. First came a motion to suppress tjie evidence. There was a grave constitutional question as to whether there is a dry law at all in Indiana. But Shaw, as judge, waived aside this plea and then the officers proceeded to tell their stories. All that they found wh.en they visited the two flats of Mayme was 407 quarts of bottled beer, 36 more bottles on ice, a half gallon of white mule and 40 gallons of other stuff that th*e officers believed would be beer i£ they hadn't intruded v%h their search warrants. Mayme readily admitted that £he apartment was hers and that the stuff was hers. She said she lived in both flats. The State thought differently. They could find no clothing or food or kitchen utensils or cats or kindly dogs or dishes or any of the usual paraphernalia of a home. But Shaw, as judge, settled that matter. Just why it made any difference whether she lived in one flat or both or none is a legal secret. But when the lawyers for Mayme renewed their motion to suppress the evidence, he protected the sanctity of something or other by granting it and Mayme was free. , She showed these police and prosecutors that you can’t tyrannize a woman in her home in this man Coffin’s town. ■ If that does not convince, take the case of Lee Shelton, whose case followed. He has lived for five months or more at 410 Minkner St. His case had followed the routine of Mayme’s. Again came the objection. Again Sliaw ruled that he was protecting rights as a judge that day. The police after appeals from neighbors, charged him with running a blind tiger. The neighbors were in court. They wanted to testify and some of them did. There were women with babies ready to prosecute Lee and drive him from his neighborhood and his castle or change his manner of living. True, the police found several gallons of white mule near his place. They said they found some in his home. Shaw was convinced that he was guilty and imposed a sentence of SIOO and costs and thirty days in Jail. You may lose heart here. You may think that Lee is in jail. But there Is still hope. Shaw Immediately suspended the fine and the jail sentence. He said Lee is too o'd to go to jail at 61. Now you feel better. Came next George Hollsworth. By this time Beckett had tired of trying to railroad citizens into jail. He flatly refused to submit any evidence after he had told the man named by a special Judge who had been named by a regular judge that ho was not a judge. Shaw knew better. Don't you believe that Hollsworth was to be robbed of his rights. The witnesses who might have been called by the State were sworn. That put Hollsworth in jeopardy. He had been charged with driving an automobile when drunk. Did these witnesses say that he had been guilty, the officers who arrested him, and those who had caused him to be brought to court? They did not. In fact, they did not say anything. They were not asked a single question. Shaw, Judge pro tern., named by a special Judge, did the talking. He said “discharged” and that sent George back to his automobile and his liberty and his rights. That’s the unvarnished story of what happened one day. Let the word go out that Indiana knows its Constitution. It knows its rights. You Just can’t go poking your nose into flats and dragging women to court because they have white mule and 400 quarts of beer in a flat. You just can’t let the appeals of citizens against what they called nuisance influence you. You must not let these men tell you that a man can be taken from an automobile and charged with drunkenness when he may have had the pip. For Indianapolis stands for law and the Constitution and if you don’t believe it, and know where t° 80, you can get a judge pro tem., named by a special judge, after the regular judge Is sworn out of court, to protect you. We must have and will have law at any price. Come down almost any day and see for yourself. Women have such equal rights now when two meet they don’t know whether to kiss or shake hands. After you finish the puzzles, comics and contests, there isn’t any time left to read the news. Ideals are like trees. They grow slowly and offer shade, but can be killed by numerous pests. A presentment Is when you realize after something has happened that you thought maybe it would.

THE SORT OF LOVE THAT LASTS

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

That woman who divorces without reason a good htisband, to wed a younger, handsomer, more ardent man, is paving a thorny path down which she will later walk with heavy heart. History is filled with tales of lovely women who have thought to defy the et.ternal verities and get away with it. And this tale is always one of tears. Matrimonial faith is not builded out of such flimsy material. To break your marriage vow without due cause, pleading only a greater love, is to sell yourself to the demon, Misery. For men, no matter how they may desire you today, do not forget that you have once broken faith. And their love is as inconstant as the changing tide. That thing for which he longs today, man often forgets tomorrow. Neither beauty nor brains can hold him true. Sometimes even the mother of his children does not keep his heart. Those ties of truth and faith, the everlasting decencies, are the only anchors for fidelity. The most salacious thing we have tried to make ourselvess believe is that today’s passion is eternal. It i.~ rather as transient as the clouds that Hit across a steadfast sky. Real love, the kind that sticks, is based upon something more stable. Mutual respect, mutual ambition, mutual likes, mutual service, and the enormous force of hubit. are the things that hold men and women together in marriage. All these qualities combined create a love so superior to that which overflaming youth, that the two can not be compared without blasphemy. This business of “off with the old and on with the new," when it comes to husbands and wives, is a very disillusioning process. Men and women, after all, and to a certain extent, create their own unhappinesses. Promiscuous mar riage is the easiest way to do the Job tor yourself.

Mass Courage Won for , the Men Trapped in Pabst Mine,

By M. E. Tracy It was a great story that came out of that little Michigan mining town yesterday with its forty-three saved and its 400 heroes, almost too great for appreciation. Steeped in the tradition of Waverly novel and Shakespearian play, we still look to individualism for real romance. A Floyd Collins languishing in his cave alone: a Sergeant York bringing in his company of prisoners unaided: a Gertrude Ederle swimming the English Channel: a Valentino dead—these are the kind of incidents that touch us most deeply. But mass risk and mass heroism have come into being with organized industry, and we must learn to see the drama of it. There was bravery at the Pabst mine, but it was disciplined and systematized, and it would never , have won if It hadn't been. If anything, it takes n finer kind j of courage to subordinate itself for , the stake of a common victory, to i face death with closed ranks that the army may not suffer defeat, than It does to rush forward on personal Impulse. •!• -I- -INail the Coffin Lids The old king having convalesced sufficiently to take occasional walks in his garden, and the fourteen best cabins on the Leviathan having been properly prepared. Queen Marie of Roumania will deign to pay us a visit. After arrival, she will be given a special train to travel in, and there will be no end of receptions and en- j tertainments to let her know that I this land of easy money and easy j marks has nothing against royalty. | Or grandfathers might have argued ! that such things were hardly In a cord with American tradition, but | they had many peculiar notions, j They probably would not have ex- J eluded a Countess Carolyi, or a Saklatvala. They were rather more Interested In such obsolete matters as liberty, the right of free speech a.-d the welfare of common people, then In titles. We .could hardly he expected to follow them In this idiosyncrasy. We are getting up In the world, or think we are, with enough surplus cash to buy a coronet now and then, or even a crown. We feel the world respects us for It, tbo, more's the pity. •I- I- -I- i On the Brink Putting aside what the States and cities have spent, prohibition has cost the Government $114,000,000 since the Volstead Act was passed, and putting aside such bootleggers and bystanders as may have, perished In the fray. It has cost 335 lives. To offset this, $82,0(10,000 worth of property has been confiscated and $22,000,000 in fines has been collected. Meanwhile, the number of arrests for drunkenness has practically dou- I bled and educational authorities are i becoming alarmed at the havoc liquor Is playing with high school and college students. The money side of the question is of small importance compared to the social or moral side. We can stand to lose $114,000,000, or flee times that amount, but we cannot stand the price of non-enforcement, of the contempt for law, the hypocrisy. the don’t-glve-a-damn attitude toward life; that go with it. Either prohibition has got to he enforced ten times more effectively than it ever has been, or modified. No people on earth could endure the existing situation long without risking the destruction of Its character. -I- -I- + Rudderless The Republicans are talking prosperity, while the Democrats are talking tariff. For the rest, we have a mass of local Issues and trifling Intrigues, gossip, scandal and insinuation. One wonders if there Is no leadership left, if convictions have disappeared, If interest in the bigger issues has lapsed. Turn to either side, and you find only a hopeless tangle of conflicting views so far as national policy is concerned. There are Republican wets and Republican drys, Republicans for the world court and Republicans against it. Republicans favoring farm relief and Republicans opposed, with Coolidge and prosperity furnishing the only common meetingground. The same is true with regard to the Democrats, except that they have no Coolidge and can’t make capital out of the present prosperity. -I- -I- -IReal Issues We need a national program, a foreign policy and a safer internal organization We need them to meet the European boycott that Is taking shape, If for no better reason. The United States Is moving Into an era of trade competition that promises to be the stlffest ever known. Our own booming times have helped to shape it, especially as they can be made to contrast with the low wages and low prices prevailing in other parts of the world. The steel combine just arranged by France, Germany and Belgium, the rubber monopoly established by* England, cotton planting in Egypt and the Far East, a concerted effort on the part of European bankers to form better trade connections with Latin America, the development and exploitation of Africa, acquirement of valuable concessions in China by .Tapan—these are but a few of the signs that should warn us of what is coming. The symptoms of had feeling we have talked about so much, the booing of tourists In France and the colder politeness of some other countries. are hardly worth mention in comparison to the trade War that is in the making, the finsfneial lines that are being established! the industrial fronts that are beirte organized, while our politicians iabble over trilling or. worn-out issues.

The Paramount Junior Stars to Make Second Film in Hollywood for Famous

The clan of “fascinating film youth” Is to gather again. In response to demands from village, town and city throughout the nation, aroused by the furore created in their first combined appearance on the screen, Paramount is planning to assemble the sixteen graduates of Its famous Pictures School In Hollywood to make another film. Announcement to this effect Is made by Jesse L. Lasky, first vice president in charge of all production for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. It was Mr. Lasky. who conceived the plan for the Paramount Pictures School, at once the most daring and revolutionary step ever taken to eliminate the chaotic condition that faced the motion picture Industry In the matter of finding and developing new screen talent. The school proved a success. The sixteen young graduates. handpicked from thousands of applicants from all parts of the country, showed such talent that all were signed to long term contract by Famous Players Lasky. They made their simultaneous debut In Fascinating Youth.” In response to the demand. Mr. Lasky decided to bring them all to Hollywood about Jan. 1. to appear in a picture to be produced by Hector Turnbull. While the story has not been cho*en, it is stated that It will unquestionably be another portrayal of joyous American youth. Bringing these young aspirants to film fame together again is no mean task. Since their graduation, they have been scattered far and wide in their first steps up the ladder of picture progress. Some have already leaped into national prominence. Charles Rogers, who played the lead in “Fascinating Youth” entered the school while still a student in the University of Kansas. Today he is considered one of the brightest prospects in filmdom. .So good has his work been in "Fascinating Youth,” “So's Your Old Mar..” and "More Pay- Less Work.” the latter made by William Fox to whom he was loaned by Paramount, tint ho was^i warded one ot, the prize roles of film history, the male lead in “Wings,” Paramount’s super-spe-cial feature, depicting the exploits of the United States air service in the world war, one of the greatest undertakings In picture annals, which Is now in production. Mona Palma has just been selected hy Thomas Meighan as leading woman for his next starring vehicle, 1 “The Canadian.” Jack Luden was loaned to F. B. O. and scored decisively as the male lead In "Bill Grime’s Progress.” Josephine Dunn Is mounting to fame through her work In several Paramount pictures made In the east. The others, Thelma Todd. Iris [Gray. Jeanne Morgan? Thelda Ken- ! vln. Charle* Brokaw. Marlon Ivy Harris. Robert Andrews. Dorothy Nourse, Claude Buchanan, Walter Goss, Greg . Blackton and Irving Hartley, all have shown distinctive promise in the roles they have por trayed in various films. With* the experience they have had in \he past year, their forthcoming production Is expected to score an even more sweeping success than that now being enjoyed by “Fascinating Youth.” •!• •!• 1OrERA COMPANY TO HAVE FIRST REHEARSAL [ The Bel Canto Opera Company will have its first performance rehearsal Saturday.

Listeners have been Invited to send their requests to Miss Byrd, either writing her in care of the Circle, or calling the Circle on the telephone. The number Is Main 5568. Miss Byrd's program begins at 11 o’clock tonight. •I- I- -I OLD SONGS IN DEMAND AT LIBRARY “The first popular song that I can remember hearing was called ‘Sweet Marie,’ but I’ve forgotten the words to everything but the chorus. Can you locate them for me?” Asa matter of fact, the music division of the Indianapolis Public Library can, and has done that very thing many times. One of its most valued resources is a file of several hundred pieces of old and yellowing popular songs of other years, which have been presented to It ..by interested friends and patrons. Not only “Sweet Marie.” but “All Coons Look AJike to Me,” "The Blow Almost Killer) Father,” and others of the same ilk are there, and are often In demand for old-time concertaj and amateur theatricals. + + + i A VARIETY SHOW AND A THOUGHT OR TWO Take the case of Bobby Randall. Randall is In vaudeville. At first he specialies In eccentric material. He rather expects to find the start a weary one. because he has several different methods to “get” his audience. • If he fails on his “nut” material, and it is not nil so good, he calls in hie dramatic sob stuff and recites a melody version of “Boots.

chance to compare his way of putting the “sou!” in a popular ballad. Randall seems to be more at home while delivering this sort of entertainment. The thought that I had Is that Randall has equipped himself with three different types of entertainment in one act. A good idea and by the time he is nearly the finish the audience is actually demanding more. People seem to still be interested in what Is called mental process or doing several things at once. Tameo Kajiyama is showing how easily and successfully he can do several things at once. This sort of an act Is still a novelty to many people.
