A FREE PRESS It is with pride that this newspaper points to the fact that Roy W. Howard, once a newsboy on the streets of Indianapolis, has made newspaper history. It is a matter of pride because Howard, now one of the great journalists and publishers of this nation, has set anew slogan for the freedom of the press. In the development of a great chain of papers devoted to real Americanism, Howard purchased three newspapers which had franchises from the Associated Press. There was a time when these franchises were considered of great value, perhaps more valuable than presses and type setting machinery and real estate. When he purchased .these papers, this association, trying to establish a monopoly of news, de manded that all the news gathered in these offices be turned over to its exclusive use. Unfortunately the recent history of the Assorted Press has not been such as to assure the •Itizenship of this nation as to its trustworthiness. It has been exposed as distributing propaganda of hate for which the State Department would not accept responsibility, exposed of an attempt to de liberate!y set the people of this nation against the neople of Mexico and perhaps bring on not only war but a dark blot of exploitation in which our youth would be sacrificed to make dollars for oil and mineral monopolies. It was Roy Howard, once a newsboy and now the president of the corporation which owns The Indian • apolis Times who sounded anew note of freedom. He declared that the press of America should be as free from subtle manipulation and monopoly, as it should be free from official dictatorship. He dared to toss into the balance assets which journalistic monopolists valued at many hundreds of thousands of dollars and defied any group to corrupt and suppress and betray the conscience of America. / This is a fight for real freedom. For the freedom of the press is today the very foundation of every liberty. Upon an intelligent citizenship depends all the things for which America was founded and which it means today. It was Howard who took this brave stand for liberty and who has thrown his challenge to a more vicious and more dangerous power than was exerted by King George when he tried to oppress and rule the founders of this republic. In this city, fortunately, The Times does not depend upon a news agency which can be subtly used or terrorized. This newspaper does not print tainted news. This newspaper is not the subsidized organ of any interest, be it a State Department, a local corporation, a theater, a labor union or a department store. A free press is the only hope which this country has and which any city can depend upon to defend it in a crisis. Whenever the sinister head of oppression rears its head in this city, there is The Times to warn and if necessary to strike. Nationally, its integrity is saved by the courageous act of Howard. Locally this newspaper has proven its faith in the people, its eagerness to serve the true spirit of democracy, its devotion to truth and to the real interests of the people of Indiana. It has been this purpose and this policy which enabled The Times to tell the truth about Indiana when the organs of political greed and power were silent, which permitted It to expose when others tried to suppress, which made it the organ of fearless championship when others were sordid allies of corruption. History is now in the making. The freedom of the press is at stake. The right of the people to know the truth is being assailed, not only by great national news agencies, but by State conspiracies. To the cause of that freedom and that full confidence In the faith of the fathers, this newspaper is dedicated. And it is glad that In the national arena it has as the champion of real freedom and real liberty, Roy W. Howard, the former newsboy of Indianapolis, who is now a great national character, who dares to throw his glove In the face of the complacent nnd powerful interests which are trying to destroy the republic in their effort to rule It.

LET’S JOIN AGAIN Tomorrow this State will celebrate the anniversary of its admission into the Union of States. That is, of oourse, commendable and necessary. For this is the greatest nation that has yet been given a place in history. It is a proud place for any State to occupy, and one which the heirs of all that it then meant might well acclaim in honor and In pride. But it may be fitting to ask what it was that the men who made Indiana the great State that It was and should be tfien joined. When Indiana joined the Statehood, there was offered to it the protection of personal liberty, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the inalienable right of every man to be a man. On this occasion, it might be well to register a sacred vow to join once more the sacred circle of those men and women who believe in true freedom. What tyranny is there from which Indiana would escape today if offered that same chance to join in a confederation of liberty? What has Indiana done to justify its legacy of freedom and its heritage of liberty? It has lifted one man to its highest office and sent him to a felon’s cell for violating its trust. Not very much to justify the feeling of pride and of liberty whifch Bhould be present on this day. And if you glance around the State today what have we: A grand jury Investigating charges of grave crime committed by high officials. A feeling of curiosity on the part of the public, not as to whether those officials are innocent or guilty, but as to the minor question of whether a felon who admittedly ruled this State can be forced to produce proof of guilt on the part of those he lifted to high office. We have a legislature about to meet and men high in power, both in office and in secret places,

who are working overtime to prevent a legislative inquiry into official actions. We have the legal representative of a great city who charges that the government of this State was bought by a more tyrannous power than a Brtiisb •autocrat dared to be, and his charges receiving no more than an academic interest. We have whispered charges of corruption of a press that was promised freedom. We have positive evidence of suppression on the part of a portion of that press, suppression of facts which a free people should know. We have Greed stalking among the people in a hidden form, where once ft wore the ermine of power and the crowns of royalty. ' Why not make this occasion a real celebration and once more dedicate Indiana to the cause of liberty and equality? We have laws upon the statute books which regulate liftman and individual conduct to a degree to which no czars and no emperor dared to go. We have had the laws dictated by a minority of prejudice and a minority of hate. We have editors who had dared to speak the truth thrown into jails and the official power exerted to keep them there and not free them. We have had the will of the people overthrown by frauds and the populace debauched by widepread and hidden corruption of the ballot. We have had all the tyrannies, in new forms, against which the founders of this State protested and against which they rebelled. The men and women who founded this State did so because they had the hope of liberty and equality in their hearts. Could thex come from their graves, they would look with horror and perhaps hurry back to their resting places, at the things which lethargy and negligence and indifference have permitted to come to pass. Tomorrow we celebrate Admission Day. There will be celebrations of various kinds and programs in public schools. Why net let each of these emphasize the liberty for which the men art! women who founded Indiana fought and whtch they welcomed when they entered the sisterhood of States? Why not join again and pledge anc.v adherence to the faith of our fathers, holy faith, the dream of liberty, of freedom, of equality and ofxhuman brotherhood? That would mean something. No, Sebastian, the phrase “old wives' tales’’ did not originate in Hollywood. Yale has just found out how to make metal foils less than a millionth of an inch thick. However, this trick has been done with ham for years. Consider the poor dentist. He leads a hand to mouth existence. Famous last lines: "And he didn’t drink a drop before the country went dry.” Japan sends the United States a stone lantern as a “gift of light.” Maybe we should send a few' of our European friends an old stocking or two this Christmas. Our sympathy goes out today to the boy who played hookey from school only to find out later it was Saturday.

ON FORCING CHILDREN TO ATTEND CHURCH ' By N. D. Cochran ■ Four hundred clergymen, representing all of the Protestant denominations of New York, unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the parents of New York “in God’s name to bring their children to the house of God, to the end that children may grow in the knowledge and love of God and of right.” What they mean, of course, Is that they want parents to bring their children to church. In addressing the gathering Supreme Court Justice Crain made an eloquent appeal for greater church attendance by children, saying the lack of attendance was tragic. "It is symptomatic of a dying church," he said, and added: "Jesus stands on the shores and asks, ‘Children, lovest thou me?’ and they answer, ‘No.’ ” He said that of the six million people of greater New York one-fourth are children from seven to 17 years of age; and he was “overburdened with the sense of danger to the church because of the absence' of children from the place of worship Sunday mornings.” Whereupon the clergymen unanimously passed resolutions in which they said, "We, therefore, in God’s name, call upon the fathers and mothers of our city to bring their children to the house of God.” and pledged themselves "by solicitation, exhortation and admonition, in the church and out of the church, to bring home to the parents of our communion their God-imposed obligation to se to it that children join in the worship of the churc..” What that means, of course, is that the preachers see no way out of the difficulty except to insist that parents MAKE their children go to church. Granting the desirability of religious instruction for children, it is possible nevertheless that the preachers, unanimously, are trying to do the right thing in the wrong way. If children don’t go to church it is probably because they don’t want to go. They can’t be made to love to go to church by forcing them to go against their will. They can’t be compelled by their parents or anybody else to love God. And that doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with the children. It means that the preachers are falling down on their job. If they understood children they wouldn’t find it difficult at all to interest them in the wonderful story of Jesus and to get His teachings into their budding minds. But too many sermons are so stupid, stilted and cloudy that they can’t hold the interest of grownups; so children can't be expected to get a thrill out of the average sermons aimed at the assumed intelligence of their parents, There IS a thrill in the story of Jesus. It is chockfull of human interest. The story needs no enlargement or/expansion of detail. It is a complete story as it is told in the New Testament. No story book for children has ever been written that can hold a candle to it. It can be told without mixing it up with the Old Testament stories that may tax the credulity even of children. But not many preachers know how to tell it So as to grip the interest and stimulate the imagination of children. Or of grown-ups either, for that matter. There is nothing the matter with the minds of children. There is nothing the'matter with the story of Jesus. So there must be something the matter with the preachers. The very fact that they see no other way out than by nagging parents to compel their children to go to church indicates clearly enough that there is something the matter with them.

Tracy Vare Is Miracle Man at Vote-Getting—Even Dead Balloted.

By M. E. Tracy William S. Vare is undoubtedly the greatest vote-getter of his time. He got the vote of a dead man, of a 5-year-old girl and of twenty-five other persons who swear they visited no polling place on election day. This. approaches a miracle. It is not Congress, but the Society for Psychical Research that should investigate Mr. Vare. Know Osman Digma? All the world knows Fuzzy Wuzzy, but who knows Osman Digma until the notice of his death appeared in the news dispatches yesterday. If you would have fame, go to the poet, not the historian. Osman Digma was a much more romantic figure thfm Kipling painted. For nearly twenty years he defied the w’hite man’s power, cutting to pieces army after army and earning both tho hate and respect of England. For more than twenty years he lived In solitary confinement as a British prisoner. In the nature of things such a man ought to have died young, but as a matter of fact, he reached 90. McAdoo Tempted Having tried the Ku-Klux Klan withont success, William (J. McAdoo will now endeavor to gain the Democratic presidential nomination by donning Bryan’s mantle. He is tempted by the prevailing 1 elief that the South will have none but a good prohibitionist; that some man is bound to beat A1 Smith and that it might as well be him as any one else. Senator Bruce of Maryland thinks that a dry will split the Democratic pasty. Others think that a wet will do the same thing. The opinion, if not the desire, is almost unanimous in favor of exactly such a struggle aa occurred In .the Democratic national convention two years ago. If this frame of mind Is .not sup•l'anted by a saner conception of what the country needs and of what the Democratic party ought to do, we are in for another Republican administration. Use 'Murder Car' The Berlin police are so Impressed with the value of time in finding and following clews that they have fitted up a “murder car.” This car is equipped with cameras, fingerprint reproduction apparatus and every other known device ’hat a Sherlock Holmes could possibly need in running down criminals. Special lights and a special gong give traffic officers the signal to clear the way, since speed is an all important factor. If New Jersey had put SIO,OOO into such a vehicle, instead of spending SIOO,OOO triyng to dig a murder mystery out of a four-year-old rubbish heap, the Hall-Mills case might have come to a different nnd more satisfactory conclusion. The murderer leaves tracks, but they don’t last long.

Vivisection A.^ain London is in another stew over vivisection. The suspicion prevails that many household pets have found their way into the laboratories of universities and colleges, especially since a laborer on trial for stealing a wolf hound admitted that he supplied dogs for that purpose. The question of whether the requirement of knowledge justifies the carving of live animals has very little bearing on the question of whether it is right to steal somebody's pet. I have been told that many A cat has found her way into the dissecting room simply because she was tame and trustful enough to respond to some medical student's enticing call of "Kitty! Kitty!” Such injustice as may have been done the cat is overshadowed by the unnecessary hurt left in some child’s heart. If colleges must have dogs and cats to harden and perfect students in the art of cutting live flesh, they should raise them for that purpose and not depend on a kind of thievery that can only succeed by imitating decent folks’ affections for dumb animals. Dictators Get Results Gen. Peyton C. March, former chief of staff, has just come home after a five years’ sojourn in Europe, during which he visited all the important countries conferred with most of the leading statesmen, was the guest of several kings and got married. A naturally observant man, he brings back some highly intelligent and interesting views. He thinks Germany is making the greatest progress toward rehabilitation, and that Great Britain is working for harmony, that France is overburdened with her military load, that anew and reformed Turkey is no myth and that Mussolini has done some wonderful things for Italy. The three men who made the deepest impression on General March were Mustopha Kemal, Benito Mussolini. and Primo di Rivera, all dictators. This is all the more striking, since he does nOt believe in dictatorship with its suppression of popular rights and its contempt for Republican government. Speaking of hatred for America, he sasys that 4 is very prevalent and that the presence of large numbers of tourists who spend their money lavishly in countries where people have to count pennies Is not lessening It. Was the faritnus “Czar Rell’t in Moscow, Russia, destroyed during the World War? How large is it? It is preserved as one of the historic relics in Moscow. It was cast in 1735 and is over 50 feet in circumference around the rim: 19 feet high and weighs about 200 tons. Part of it was broken off during the* fire of 1735 and lies near by.

Flonzaley Quartet Records Bring Great String Beauty Into All Homes

By Walter D. Hickman By using the phonograph one may prepare himself for the enjoyment of.nearly all the great artists. Nearly all artists who are leaders are now making phonograph records. This Is true with the Flonzaley quartet, which will appear in concert Sunday afternoon at the Academy of Music. This organization makes records •for Victor, and their collection forms a mighty interesting addition to phonograph music, as this is one of the leading string quartets now appearing before the public. I often use the Victor catalog as a reference book concerning artists and organizations. The Victor catalog speaks of the Flonzaley quartet as follows: “The engagement of the Flonzaley quartet has opened up new and fascinating fields of possibilities for the Victor. The world’s greatest composers have lavished their greatest genius upon the production of chamber music—especially the string quartet, two violins, viola and cello —yet owing to Its delicacy, and the rarity with which a true ensemble is obtained, this music is perhaps the least known of any. The Flonzaley quartet is an organization devoted exclusively to playing this music. It was formed in 1903 by E. J. De Coppet, an American music lover, and named after his Swiss villa on I-r.ke Geneva. The quartet, however, has long maintained an ind'pendent existence, and is famous in American musical circles for its devotion to its artistic ideals, and the perfection of its achieve* j ments. The players who form the quartet are Adolfo Betti, first violin; Alfred Poehon, second; Louis Bailly, viola, and Iwan d’Arehnmbeau, ’cello. The quartet binds its members J not to play in orchestra or even solo, so as to preserve the perfect i unity of effect for which it is faI moils. At the death of Mr. De Coppet in 1916. his place as patron was taken by his son, Mr. Andre De j Coppet. These and their future rec- | ords will be appreciated by all who are discriminating in their musical j tastes, ns the result of most careful and painstaking effort.” I The Victdf-Flonzaley quartet records are ns follows; ! „ "Cenzonet'a” (trnm "String Quartet in U • at i (On. i t).

Concerning ‘Vanities’

By Walter I>. Hickman Earl Carroll has sent a very poor edition of his “Vanities” to Indianapolis. Vanities has always made Its greatest appeal on the amount of feminine flesh exposed. Carroll starts this appetite for the undressed at the' very beginning when about three girls appear unadorned, but the look Carroll gives one is through a curtain or a series of curtains. This edition is a little more dressed up in spots than one would expect in “Vanities.” Carroll is not exposing as much here as he does to suggest nakedness. Tights were used in several numbers by the chorus. Whatever strength this revue has rests In Joe Cook and Frankie Heath, both from vaudeville. Cook is doing about the same line of comedy as he gave in the first Vanities and on the vaudeville stage. About the funniest thing that he dose it when he takes a children’s reading book and reads about the little boy stealing the nest of a little bird. His first stunt, that o£ the myste; ious shower bath is funny and noisy. Frankie Heath came to notice while she was in vaudeville. It seems to me that she is trying to be the female Ted Lewis. She overacts at times but this method gets the biggest applause in this revue. Her “Maybe” number got more applause last night than any two numbers combined. Johnny Dooley appears in a suggestive sketch which is pointless and dull. “Big Shoes,” which corresponds to one of the dirtiest stories I have ever heard in a oor skit This revue does not use the dirtiest version, but those who have heard it know where the idea came from. Carroll in this revue attempts to over advertise a certain brand of ginger ale as well as golf balls of a certain make. The best song number is "Y'vonne,” by Cliff O’Rourke. On the whole this show needs voices. Jack Redmond, a golf expert, teams up with Joe Cook in a golf scene for comedy effect as well as expert stunts in hitting the golf tall This edition of tho vanities in no way approaches the first of its class. Some of the comedy" is so ancient that one laughs before the joke is completed. About the poorest revue I have seen for a long time. Be your own judge. At English’s today and Saturday. bringing new faces before us each week he has secured a young woman with a very good contralto voice to entertain with a song or two. We are not sure about the spelling, but her name was announced as Miss Ruth Beal. The orchestra steps out this week and does a number that has real appeal if only that of seeing how it goes. They are playing a selection of "11 Trovatore’ as a jazz melody. Kirby and Duvall, a man and woman, nre back again with some more comedy lines and wise cracks. The eccentric appearance of the man is made to stand for much of the comedy. They also offer a couple of song numbers of which the one at the close of the act is the best. Ferguson and Sunderland offer a song and dance act in which the •lancing tsands out as being the best. The woman has a peppy number though in which her singing helps out. Liked this number and an eccentric one by the man as the main features of the act. Gertrude and Boys open the act with some songs and dancing. Included on the bill is a photo-

W @rk Three Hands With Possibilities and What to Do With Them,

The pointer for today is: Bid a strong four-card Major in preference to a stronger five-card Minor, unless the hand has a third j strong suit; in that case bid tho Minor first. Yesterday the following two hands were given: 1. Sb.: Ace-ICing-x-x. Ht.: x-x. Di.: x-x. Cl.: Ace-Iving-Queen-x-x| 2. Sp.: Ace-King-x-x. Ht.: Ace-King-Jack. Dl.: x. Cl.: Ace-King-Queen-x-x. With No. 1, the Spade should be bid first, so as to show the Major while a four-card suit may be bid cheaply; it being much safdr to make a high bid with those Clubs than with the Spades. If the Spade be ad veresely overcalled, the Clubs can safely be shown. No. 2, however, presents a different problem. Tho four-card Major Is selected in No. 1 because it may be the only chance to show It cheaply; but when It will be possible to tell the partner later that tho Major Is strong and to Invite him to bid it, a five-card suit should be bid rather than a four. In No. 1, failing to bid the Major on the first round may bar any reasonable opportunity to show it at all. The bidding, for example, might be: One, Club, three Hearts, four Clubs, four Hearts; and then to bid four Spades with a four-card suit would be very dangerous. It might force the partner to bid five Clubs; yet the combined hands might contain a game at Spades and not at Clubs. But in No. 2, there Is little danger of not being able to show the Major; with a third strong suit, high adverse bid ding is not nearly so probable, but the hand Is equipped to meet any situation. If the weak suit be named by partner, a No-Trump would be the obvious call; If the weak suit be named by the adversaries, the holder of No. 2 could double lnformatorlly and thus Invite from the partner a bid,of either Major. In No. 1 this informatory doublo could not be made because, regardless of which suit (Hearts or Diamonds) tho adversaries bid, the other would be too weak. Tomorrow’s article will discuss the duty of the partner of an original bidder who has shown two suits. (Copyright, John F. Dllle Company.) Work, the International authority on Auetion Bridge, will answer ques tions on the game for Times readers who mate to him through The Times, including a self-addressed stamped envelope.
