SOMETHING PERMANENT If tfifc members of the Legislature, soon to meet, desire to do something for the people of the State, they ■will make a real survey of the needs and demands of the State University at Bloomington. This State Is known for Its education, its high level cf intelligence, Its literary leadership, its contribution to the world of art, science. It was a pioneer in freedom of education, and forty years ago was known among educational institutions as one where those of open minds might find congenial surroundings for the exposition of their doctrines and their truths. It was one of the first to offer to the student an option as to the studies to be pursued, breaking away from the traditional demand that all students go, through the same routine of studies and - emerge with about the same sort of mental equipment. It drew to its classrooms those students who wished to be free from these traditions which demanded that a certain amount of dead languages, for example, be the criterion for judgment of the cultured and the educated and who desired a wider latitude for their range of inquiry into knowledge. Mere important, it drew to its faculty men of vision who had caught the new spirit which inspired and dinstinguished it. It is rather a lamentable fact that in the past few years other universities and colleges have drawn away many" professors who helped to win fame and confidence in its outstanding excellence. These other universities, more generously treated by their State Legislatures or endowed by private philanthropy, have been able to secure many outstanding men who serve as advertisements for their progressiveness, and what is more, as most capable teachers for their students. No other institution of learning should be in a position to take from Indiana any teacher in /its university who does not leave by preference, but who is drawn by larger rewards or more generous opportunities. J This fact is cited as suggesting that if the State has been niggardly in this matter, it has probably been miserly in other respects and that therfe is a danger that the high standing of the university cannot be maintained or its usefulness continued -unless there be a thorough study of conditions and a readiness to meet those conditions with proper appropriations. The State has not hesitated to spend millions fob the good roads needed to meet the needs of modern transportation. . It has not hesitated or balked at big figures when the material matters of buildings are at stake, It provides the best of housing for its criminals, if poprs out with generous hand in all other directions. i But it has forgotten, perhaps, that the most important institution in this State is the one which giyes the leadership for the future. ; It has forgotten that that leadership should be trained in Indiana, and that second rate training is likely to produce at least an indifferent leadership. Thjs should be the year to look conditions squarely; in the face and to meet them. Much would be foj-given a Legislature which took this viewpoint add acted upon it. UNEASY JIM The news from Washington is such as to suggest that there should be more than a casual glance at? the returns from the last election. For there is every indication that Senator Watson is not as easy in his mind concerning his election a# he has been in other days when his victories were f(Slowed by boisterous blasts of blatant “blaah!” ; This time the Senator is confining himself to etfdeavcrs to placate some fellow-members 'whom he helped to drive out of the patronage ranks of the Republican party two years ago. - At that time Watson, in the Senate and in the committee, was most unforgiving of those whom he denounced as heretics. He was always and forever fcfr any action which would humiliate those who did n<2t believe that the late La Follette wore horns. Ife helped to drive them away from the party and declared for a ‘‘Sapolio” test of party purity. *’ It is different now and perhaps that official margsL of 11,000 votes which was certified is the reason. S3me drop from the 200,000 lead for Coolidge. * It does suggest that the Senator would like to be on more friendly terms with Senators who would vqlte on his case should an inquiry be started into tljjb use of absentee ballots, Lake County manipulations, other acts which an jinfriendly Senator might believe were causes for a successful contest. * So the Senator wends his uneasy way at Washington, tossing offers of friendship to men he humiliated, more intent on placing them than in any legislation. Being a Senator, of the kind, has its I'Opalties.

LAW IS LAW—OR IS IT? Monday night Governor W. B. Brandon of Alabama and eight friends were arrested while playing cards in a room witli thirteen quarts of rajre whisky, two half-empty bottles, a number- of empties and same glasses. They posted S3OO bonds on charges of violating tltfe prohibition law. - The arrests created a real sensation, for Brandon is, a prohibition Governor, elected On a platform of strict enforcement. He i3 the ever ready spokesman of the church and prohibition forces. His personal platform contained this plank: “Maintenance of the present prohibition laws and strict enforcement of tive same." The platform of the Democratic party iif Alabama declared that prohibition is ‘‘the established policy of the State,” and demanded “strict enforcement of the existing laws on this subject.” * So much for the arrest of Governor Brandon. * * * Tuesday the Governor’s party, minus the Governor, stopped off at the county seat and settled the cdfees. * The county solicitor met them at the train and was informed by Asa Gibson, member of the party, tlSat Henry Hudson, a Negro servant, would plead guilty to owning the liquor. So it was agreed that the cases be dropped, and that Hudson should receive the minimum fine provided /by law—sso and casts. * Asa Gibson, who furnished the county solicitor with the information off which this course was de-

cided, has been known in Alabama for some years as the speaker of the Third House, or the principal lobbyist at the State capital. So much for the dropping of the case. * • * Henry Hudson seems to be the only one who profits from the deal. For Henry has been elevated to the topmost ranks of colored aristocracy. He will be known as the man who saved the Governor. Also, he stands before the world as the owner of thirteen bottles of thirty-six-year-old Scotch, which in Alabama should bring* at least S2O a bottle. Everybody who believes that Henry owned the liquor—prior to the raid—will now hold up his right hand. Everybody who believes that it is possible for a prohibition Governor to play cards in a room with thirteen full quarts and eight or ten empties, and not know they were there, will please hold up his lft hand. • * * Suppose Henry Hudson had been caught on the street with a half pint of poor corn liquor. What would have happened to him? Or suppose Henry had been detected in the manufacture of a run of corn in the back woods. What would have happened to him? You know. He’d be down in the convict coal mines today—digging coal under the leasing system which? Governor Brandon has defended and perpetuated. He’d be a convict slave for the coal corporations whose lobbyist at the State capital is the same Asa Gibson mentioned above. * * * And now, let all us good hundred per centers give three cheers for law enforcement. Disrespect for the law must cease, and we—who, by education, wealth and environment, are best equipped—must continue to set an example for those who would defy the law and tear down the Constitution. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! ~ 11 T*" — 1 1 CHRISTMAS SHOPPING There is one form of Christmas shopp J ng which can, in all good conscience, be done early and often. That is the purchase of those tiny seals which mean not only good will but possibly life to some human being in need and in suffering. Those seals represent the Nation’s fight against preventable disease. It is the battle against the once terrible scourge of tuberculosis, more costly than a continuing world war would be in human lives and in human happiness. Fortunately it is a conquering warfare which is being made ancl each year makes new inroads of victory against its ravages and its effects. The great fight of modern science is against disease. It may be remeqabered that the medical profession is very young. One hundred and fifty years ago, medical' literature was compressed into a very few volumes. Healing was left to barbers. Superstition and not science dominated pathology. , The prevalence of-tuberculosis long challenged the sympathy and the knowledge of science. Today it is no longer a death sentence. That it is not such a terror is due to a large degree to these same little Christmas seals which go out on letters and packages and represent the sytnpatliy and the interest of countless millions of men and women. . There is still much to be done. There is need for lunds. These little seals may help to prolong a life or even save one. Shop for your Christmas seals today.

CONCERNING CHARITY ■* 1 By N. D. Cochran A Methodist preacher in New York City made a statement last Sunday that may make a lot of people sit up and take notice. Rev. Dr. Christian F. Reisner, pastor of the Chelsea Methodist Church, said In his sermon: * “We are almost institutionalized to death. We are requested to raise $4,000,000 to house only the offices and employes of 1,500 charity and welfare organizations in this city. There are 200 more organizations than there are Protestant and Catholic churches in the city. This is nearly a3 many organizations as there are churches.” New York City enjoys no monopoly in this particular. Every city in the country is familiar with what is generally termed “organized charity,” which has been organized to the highest form of industrial efficiency; and practically every one of these organizations means established headquarters and jobs for so-called charity workers. Many of them are organized around worthy causes, to be sure, but organization has resulted in a vast army of workers and assistants who make their living out of the contributions of big-hearted contributors. The many drives for funds became such an intolerable nuisance that in self-defense business men were forced to organize so-called “Community Chests”, through which contributions were dumped into one general jack-pot and distributed by a board of trustees or directors. This enabled business men to turn down all individual applications of charity beggars by telling them 'to apply to the Community Chest, to which they were contributors. And it has its advantages. One doesn’t have to come in personal'contact with human misery, poverty and suffering. By hiring professional charjty workers to do his charity for him he can save the wear and tear on his own heart-strings and not be agitated by the human emotion of sympathy. , Os course, that wasn’t the, way the Irish poet, John Boyle O’Reilly looked at it. He didn’t like organized charity. He didn’t like to see one of the noblest of human emotions reduced to a scientific or business basis. At any rate, in his “In Bohemia,” he wrote: “Organized charity, skimped and iced, In the name of a cautious, statistical Christ." f Nevertheless, it saves a lot of time and worry if busy men can hire professional sympathizers to do their sympathizing for them. One may do his duty as a practical Christian, sending an agent to the boxoffice to buy his reserved seat in Heaven, and thus escape the annoyance of doing any of the actual work of being his brother's keeper. When man was informed that it was more blessed to give than to receive and that the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, no hard and fast rule was announced which required him to go out into the highways and byways and search out the poor and suffering. And it is much easier to write a check once a year and give his conscience another twelve months vacation. All the same it would be interesting if the next Federal census would give us a report on the army of professional charity workers and how much it costs to get one dollaV of charity to its destination. I got a line on it once when I investigated organized charity in one of our biggest cities. For every twenty-five cents that reached the deserving ppbr the cost was seventy-five cents for administration, rent, salaries, investigation and Incidental expenses. Maybe that’s why it’s easier for a camel to go througho the eye of a needle, etc.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Self-Denying Puritanism Started Us on Thanksgiving Gorging,

By M. E. Tracy If Thanksgiving is unique among holidays, so is the morning after. Too much —too much stuffing, too much too much salad, too much mince pie, too much of everything. The great American public rouses itself with groans and yawns. It didn't sleep too well last night, and if doesn’t feel like going back to work. Its chief sensation and concern is one of fullness in the abdominal region. Science says this is all wrong, but who would give up the memory to get rid of the ache? What has science to substitute for a good dinner, a long drawn out dinner, a dinner where friends aat relatives can gather board and reminisce until conversation gives way to the drowsiness of sheer satiety? It is an irony of fate that Puritanism, with all its Insistence on repression and self denial, should have taught us how to gorge ourselves and make us like It. ■l* -I* 'l' Why Mussolini Lea^ls Mussolini is going to build two ships that will cross the Atlantic ocean in four days. A great new secret of power transmission makes this possible, he says , and though he doesn't know what it is, he is willing to back the engineers who discovered it. That is one quality that makes Mussolini a leader of men. He knows how to surround himself with experts and how to interest people in promoting their work. An autocrat he may be, but not without imagination. His thoughts go deeper than political power. He not only dreams of the state, but of industry and science. Italy forgets his /repressive measures, because he gives it things to think about, things to strive for, things to achieve. , -|- -|- -|. Taxes and Votes There is a surplus of so.imi $300,000,000 in the United States treasury, and our leaders can seem to think of nothing but the idea of giving it back to the taxpayers. To them, it is just so much cash available for the good old game of vote gathering. The Nation owes an 1 enormous debt, and this surplus could be applied on it to good advantage. There are several great projects, also, which the Nation might well undertake, and which this surplus would help finance. First, there is the desirability of giving aviation greater support; then there is the possibility of a second canal across the Isthmus of Panama, tfce development of the Mississippi system and a waterway connecting the Great Lakes with the sea. There are lots of things for which this surplus might be used, things that the country needs, things that would challenge the interest and enthusiasm of the American people. But politics is politics and statecraft is statecraft and never the twain shall meet. -I- -I- -IOil Case Evidence Should testimony given at the Senate investigation be admitted as evidence in the Fall-Doheny case? It is hard for a layman to see, but one answer to this question. The testimony was given under oath and is just as good as though repeated verhally on the witness stand. The trouble is that a good deal of it cannot be repeated on the witness stand and will be lost, unless the records of the Senate committee are admitted. -1- -I- -IForging Fingerprints A vital point has been developed in the Hall-Mills case, and that is whether fingerprints can be forged. If they can, we have lost a •method of identification that had come to be regarded as practically infallible. Many people suppose that fingerprinting is of recent origin, and it is so far as police records go, but it has been known and employed In the Orient for thousands of years. More than one great sovereign of the East has left impressions of his fingers for future generations to gaze upon with curiosity. It was 103 years ago that a German professor, who had studied Oriental history, advanced the idea of using finger prints to identify criminals, but nothing was done about it until half a century later. Mark Twain was one of the first to recognize the value of finger prints, as is proved by his story, “Pudd’nhead Wilson,” which appeared in 1894. It was) about that time that police authorities throughout the world adopted the method and began to establish those great files which have played such a part in catching old offenders. It has been generally believed that no two fingerprints were alike, and that forgery was out of the question. BUG STUDENTS TO MEET Hoosier Entomologists to Gather at Muncle, Dec. 2.' Sponsored by the Indiana Academy of Science, an all day meeting of Hoosier entomologists will be held Dec. 2. at the Ball Teachers’ College at Muncie. The principal feature of the meeting will be an exhibit, prepared by State Entomologist Frank N. Wallace, showing ravages of the European corn borer. Harry F.

Letting You Get Acquainted With the Voice of Chaliapin on the Phonograph

By Walter D. Hickman More and more I am using the phonograph and the radio to become acquainted both with opera and the great operatic and concert artists. I find it impossible to go to Chicago and New York has often as I desire to hear opera and concerts. So I must find other ways to hear concerts and opera In other cities. I use the radio for both, but I find one of the best ways Is to obtain the recorded artistry of operatic and concert stars on phonograph records. Since it has been announced that Feodor Chaliapin is coming to the Muraf under the direction of Ona B. Talbot, I have received many requests for the story of the opera, ‘‘The Barber of Seville,” the list Os the phonograph records of Chaliapin and books of reference upon opera. This department has given you in the last few weeks the stoi*y of the opera and books of reference upon opera. Today I give you a list of the records made so far by Feodor Chaliapin. I have to go to the Victor list, because Chaliapin is an exclusive Victor artist. The Vlctor-Chaliapin list Is as follows: . “Barbiere dl Slviplia—La calunnta” (iSlander's Whisper). Italian. Rossini. “Boris Godounow—Death of Boris” (Hark! ’Tin the Passing Bell). "Boris 'Godounow —Farewell, My Son. I Am Dying.” “Boris Godounow—ln the Town of Kazan.” Moussoresky. “Boris Godounow—Monolog" (I Have Attained the Power). “Boris Gorounow-*—Pimen's Monolosf." Mouseorgrsky. “Cor' Le” (The Horn), French. De \igr-ny-Flesrier. “Don Carlos—Ella Klnmmat m'ama: (Her Love Was Never Mine), Italian. Verdi. “Doubt.” Glinka. “Down the Petersky” (Moscow Street Song). Arr. Chaliapin. “Dubinuslika” (Russian Laborers' Song). "Faust—Serenade Mephistopheles.” French. Gounod. _ “Faust—Vean d’or” (The Golden Calf). French. Gounod. “In questa tomba oseura” (Within the Tomb Forgotten). Italian Beethoven. “Mefistofele—Ave Signor!” (Hail. Sovereign Lord), Italian. Boito. “Midnight Review." Joukovskv-GUnka. "Pilgrim's Song.” Tolstoy-Tsehaikoweky. “Prince Igor—Song of Prince Galitsky. Borodin. „ “The Prophet." Poushkln-Rimsky-Korsa-kow. . , , "Siberian Prisoners’ Song (piano accompaniment). . „ , “Song of the Flea.” Goethe-MoUBSO-gsky. “Sons of the Viking Guest” (from Sadko ). Rimsky-Korsakow. “Song of the Volga Boatmen” (Russian Folk Song). “Sonnambula—Vi rawiso (As I View These Scenes), Italian. Bellini. “Trepak” (Still Is the Forest) (from “Songs and Dances of Death”). Moussorg“Two Grenadiers.” Heine-Schumann. “When the King Went Forth to War. Koenemann. ‘ I have many of these records in my record library at home, but I recommend as the one I like best, his singing of "Song of the Flea.” LOOKING OVER NEW SHOW AT THE. PALACE An excellent holiday bill Is the Palace offering for the last half of the week. Fred Ardath and his orchestra, with the assistance of some added talent that is young, fair and possessors of lively feet, have what looks to us as the best offering of their engagement so far. Bobby Vail and company have many entertaining things to offer in their song and dance revue. - With the stage set to represent a cabaret scene Ardath and his company offer anew selection of good melody and some added things in the way of about ten girls who are anew presentation of the act. With the orchestra doing most of the work the act gives the girls many chances to provide some excellent eye pleasing atmosphere and also to do their stuff in a couple of dances. A novel feature of Ardath's on this bill is to take one of the new type electrical phonographs and with four men who made a song record to compare the record with the actual song by the men on the stage. We have only seen this done once before and it is a good idea. Color is the high point in the Vail act, both in costumes and the way the different songs and dances are put on. The comedy does not run very high but the dancing of the women and the musical numbers are fine. Liked best a Spanish .version of that new dance craze, the “Black Bottom.” This dance in our opinion should remain on the stage as a performance by an amateur of this dance in all probability would appear ridiculous. These women do it all right, however. Ketch and Wilma open with a song, “Mandalay," by the woman which is fair and then the man takes hold of the act with a very good* exhibition of his talents as a ventriloquist. A feature is a song by the man wherein he sings a duet with himself. Sounds funny but the illusion of two -people singing is there all right. Missed the opening act. Included on the bill is a photoplay- ” Almost a Lady” with Marie

Modern Is Mrs. Alving in the Hands of Mrs. Fiske

By Walter D. Hickman Mrs. Helen Alving was a “queer” woman in the day when Ibsen created her. In other words she was modern. So much so was Mrs. Alving that she lived a lie for years so that the town folk would not know that her husband ttas a terrible lie and a fraud. Such a fraud was Mrs. Alving’s husband that she decided to build a memorial to his "goodness” so that the lie would carry on and on so that her son would not have to carry the indictment through his life. 1 The memorial in the name of an orvjihanage was built and Pastor Manders was ready to give one of those sweet talks of his about the "goodness” of the man whose name was similar to the monument. And Pastor Manders had one speedh for Mrs. Alving when he told her about her own "little self’ and even after Mrs. Alving “spills the beans” about herself and her “dear departed husband,” she reassures the pastor that he would get by some way with his pretty speech in memory of her departed husband. But Mrs. Alving had not counted upon the sad fact that her own son, twenty-six when the play starts and away from home so many years so that he would not learn the truth about the weakness of his father. The son Oswald, returns from Paris in a bad case of nerves. In the household is a pretty maid. Mrs. Alving relates about the terrible

episode of her husband when living making love to a housemaid. And no sooner does she tell the pastor those facts that she hears her own son playing in no unmistaken terms in another room with Regina, a maid in the household. “What is that?” asks the pastor of Mrs. Alving as he hears the protests of Regina. Mrs. Alving remembers what she heard years ago, the same protest when her husband caused another housemaid to say the same thing. And Mrs. Alving replies, "Ghosts.” Really, the way that Mrs. Fiske puts over that one expression as the curtain' climax of the first act of Ibsen’s “Ghosts” is more than worth the trip to the Murat. And then in the second act when Oswald (Theodore St. John), tells his mother that he is breaking mentally, that the doctor in Paris told him that his father or someone had led a terrible life, that he took the blame on himself, when he was really innocent, by telling the doctor that he was to blame tecausq his father was blameless—then you get another one of those rare and marvelous scenes of the theater that you expect from such a great artist as Mrs. Fiske and those she had always had with her. It is then that you see the fruit of years of great acting on the part of Mrs. Fiske. You see realization creep upon her as Mrs. Alving of the debt she now has to face. You see Mr. St. John let loose that nervous and powerful dramatic and

Easy Aces Do Not Count Neither Do Minority Honors, Says Work, Answering Queries,

By Milton C. Work Continuing today tho answer* t< questions most frequently asked bj correspondents, we have: Easy Aces: Minority Honors: It their anxiety to make additions td their scores, many players cling t< tho notion that, fine side scoring three or four honors, the other muj count something for their two ot one; or that when the Aces are di> vided, each side scores twenty pointy for its two. The last lino of Law 3< closes this debate: "One or two hon ors held by a side are not counted." Aces and Faces: Os all the hawlj evergreens In the forest of Bridgd errors, this Is the hardiest, th greenest and the “evereat.” Th< Bridge humorists have rung Innunv erable changes upon it; for tho lasi hundred years, every form of rldt oule, abuse and remonstrance hav been heaped upon those who Com* forward to ask about it; but all In vaJn. Each year new questioner® want to know “how weak your han* must be to entitle you to anew deal." It therefore seems necessary to explain that there is no new deal for the player whose hand contains neither Ace, Face nor Honor; a play. ,er who was dealt foitr Deuces, four Treys, Four Fours and a Five might be entitled to honorable mention for his curio, but be would hav* to play 'the hand. Doubling and Redoubling: Many wish to know whether under certain conditions (the condition named varying greatly), doubling or redoubling is permitted. There Is nd form of the game of Auction Bridge in which both the double and redouble are not important factors; neither Is ever barred. Which Player Is Declarer? This always can be determined by finding the correct answers to two simple questions: "Which aide made the highest bid and obtained the con-f tract? Which partner of that side first named the suit or No Trump which the contract designates? The answer to the second question is the mme of the player who is Declarer and Declarer’s partner is the Dunk my. ip the following the star (*) designates Declarer. 2nd Brd 4th Dealer Hand Hand Hand (1) 1 Ht.* Pass 2 Ht.
