No law shall be passed restraining the free interchange of thought and opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write or print freely, on any subject whatever.—Constitution of Indiana,

Is Coolidge A Candidate? “Believing that the framers of the Constitution acted wisely in providing, after long and careful deliberation, that the term of the President should be for the period of four years, and that the unwritten law which prohibits any person to hold that office a third term should be made a part of the written Constitution, I do respectfully petition that during the present session you will submit to the States for their action a joint resolution proposing to amend Article II of the Constitution so as to provide that: “ ‘No person who has held the office of president for two terms, or for any of two terms, whether consecutive or otherwise, shall thereafter be eligible to be chosen to the office of president or vicepresident.’ ” Michael J. O’Shea of Worcester, Mass., says he has one of the original copies of the above petition, which was submitted to congress in 1912. And on his copy, he says, is the signature of Calvin Coolidge. This is important, if true. Not meaning, of course, to impugn Mr. O’Shea’s credibility as a witness: but he, himself, recognizes that his statement might be doubted, for he has promised to produce the original petition bearing the Coolidge signature. Furthermore, Questions on the subject have been asked at the White House and have met with silence. So there does remain some doubt that Coolidge forgot his customary caution back in 1912 and completely committed himself on this third term question. Should the be produced some of us are going to be rather well pleased. Some of us have never found it possible to believe that Calvin Coolidge actually proposes to offer himself for another term as president. We haven’t read his silence on the subject that way. We think he intends merely to have an Important part in choosing the next Republican nominee and that he is keeping silent as a means of strengthening his sand to that end. Wien Coolidge signed that petition—ls he did—it was part of an effort to forestall the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for a third term. But note the petition's language. The signers were not concerned solely with what seemed the danger of the moment, but with a principle that reached much further. They proposed that the Constitution of the Unite*! States should be amended so that never again could anybody possibly make a third term race. That, it is said, was the Coolidge of 1912—and we believe it was. We believe it is the Coolidge of today, likewise. Coolidge, if he thought Rooselvelt should not aspire to a third term, after the latter was out of office and out of control of the party machinery with which to renominate himself, certainly would have been even more opposed to Roosevelt if the latter had had his third term ambition while still In the White House. The distinction is extremely important. Roosevelt pointed it out. The third .term tradition, he said, was aimed to prevent any president, In office, from using the great powers of his position to perpetuate his tenure. After four years out of office, said Roosevelt, the President had lost control of the party machinery and no longer had any unfair advantage. Coolidge, it seems, felt that even so the third term should not be permitted. Somehow we’ve an idea he hasn't changed his mind and, in due time, v. ill make known this fact. s Come Home or Be Banished Death has cheated the Government of one witness it needed to prove its case against Albert B. Tall and Harry F. Sinclair. The law now promises to restore another. After three years the Government has found Henry M. Blackmer and served him with a subpoena to testify. It has hope. also, of finding J. E. O’NeV. likewise missing for Hired years, since a month delay in trial has been allowed. These are the men who hurriedly left the United States when the Senate public lands committee was investigating the Teapot Dome matter. In France they refused to give any testimony that would throw light on the mysterious oil-Liberty bond deal which the Government says was a conspiracy between Fall, the cabinet member, and Sinclair, the oil man. It was of this same business that the Eighth Circuit Court of appeals said, “our conclusion is that the lease and contract were procured through fraud and corruption.’’ If Blackmer. having been served wkh a subpoena, fails to come to the United States for the Fall-Sinclair trial, and if O’Neil, when served, refuses to come, no punishment will be severe enough for them except perpetual banishment from the country. Confiscation of SIOO,OOO worth of property apiece —the penalty provided if the subpoena is not obeyed —may he a small matter to these wealthy gentlemen. A future in which they would be definitely cut off from home would probably be more dismaying. But whether or not the two men care about this banishment, the rest of us do. The United States has no use within its borders, for the sort of citizen who defies It in a matter so serious. A Great Problem Cancer now ranks fourth among the principal causes of death in the United States. A year ago it was sixth. Few problems that this country has to face are more seriops than this one. Cancer is deadly; it Is also one of the most painful methods of shuffling off this mortal coil known to man. It is a frightful scourge; and it is increasing rapidly in frequency. Learn the symptoms of cancer. If you detect .nny of them in yourself, go at once to a good physician and let him use the knife. There is no malady ■v hero the “ounce' of prevention and pound of cure ’ business Is more true. And, above all, avoid quacks and “cancer cures.” They may cost you your life.

Russia Receives Another Slap There is a deal more than appears on the surface in the row between Great Britain and Soviet Russia. Nor is it without a certain amount of peril to peace. Thursday night forty-five Scotland Yard men swooped down cn the Russian soviet house in Moorgate, London, and ransacked the place from garret to cellar. Not only was the Arcos (Anglo-Russian Cooperative Societies) raided, but also the headquarters for Russian trade delegation which was supposed to have diplomatic Immunity. While the crack squad from Scotland Yard poked about the place, sixty or rao™ uniformed Bobbles surrounded the house in which the 350 British and Russian employes of the soviet were working, and held them several hours, virtually as prisoners. London papers say the sudden descent upon the building was because it was believed certain British State papers to which the soviet had no right, were concealed there. The real significance of the raid, however, lies in the raid itself—in the fact that it was made at all. Every great nation, and most of the smaller ones, engages In what really amounts to spying of a sort, but no nation thinks' of raiding the diplomatic offices of another power unless it Is prepared for war with that power. For the act itself is tantamount to an act of war. Britain and Russia have been on bad terms for years, despite normal diplomatic relations having been re-established between the two countries. Britain not only accuses the soviet government of stirring up trouble in the British Isles, but of doing everything it can to damage her In China, India, Egypt and wherever else British influence prevails. A break with Russia would seem inevitable after what has happened. Perhaps Britain doesn’t, care. She may even take the initiative herself and follow' up the raid by handing the soviet representatives their passports. It is just possible that Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign minister, believes he can deal with what the Conservatives consider the communist menace in India, China and elsewhere to better advantage and with a freer hand, if he packs the Russians off forthwith to Moscow. As this is WTitten the reason for the raid remains pretty much of a mystery. Following shortly after an almost identical raid on the soviet buildings in the legation compound in Pekin,* a raid authorized by the British and other foreign ministers there, one can not help wondering what connection. If any, there may be between them. After the Pekin raid Moscow refused to consider the action a cause for war against China. She accused Britain largely of instigating it and even charged her with doing so in order to involve Russia in a war in the far east. JJnder tho - circumstances Russia may be expected to attach additional importance to the London raid, as being. In effect, a slap on the other cheek. If perchance she does feel That way about it, what will be her next move? Stoop for an expected kick—not having a third cheek to turn—or —what? It will be Interesting to watch. A Good Sign Marquette University has just conferred the degree of doctor of laws on Baron Ago von Maltzan, new German ambassador to the United States. That’s the kind of news dispatch one is glad to read. Ten years ago no American university would have dreamed of doing it. It proves that the war is over and that its hatreds have pretty well died out. America and Germany, having had their disagreement, are becoming friends once more. Let’s be thankful. Bellboys in a New Y’ork hotel are trained by an ex-marine. What are the boys going in for now—bayonets? Maybe they’re just taking a little grenade drill prior to a convention of Scottish clans. Or, again the idea may be trench warfare from the bathtub when the sailors are in town. The veterans bureau made a watch repairer of a boilermaker, a poultry farmer of a cowboy, am insurance salesman of a carpenter. Possibly the bureau could make a little sense out of the dispatches from China. A man sent President Coolidge two lion cubs. However, we haven't seeD any pictures of Mr. Coolidge in a cage wit hthem, Mussolini's example notwithstanding. Sometime there’s going to be a lady Parisian whose pictures don’t appear under the caption. France s Most Beautiful Legs.” Then you’ll hear wings flapping outside your door and know that the dodo has returned. New ork politicians are w orrying because so many people stay away from the polls Chicago is anxious because so many come—with guns. Leisure is a four-mile hike around a golf course on Sunday morning. Headlines you never see: RESIDENT, 98, SAYS HE’S HEALTHY BECAUSE HE LOAFED.

Law and Justice By Dexter M, Keeezer

A New Mexico statute makes it unlawful to gamble or to operate a game of chance. A man operated a slot machine in his store which returned a package of chewing gum for every nickel deposited, and sometimes returned chips good for purchases at the store. When he w*s prosecuted for violating the law tended that use of his slot machine did not involve gambling. He said that no one lost anything by us#ig the machine because for every nickel deposited a nickel’s worth of gum returned, and that lie simply threw in the chips for good measure to boom his trade. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision. The Supreme Court of New Mexico decided that operation of the machine was in violation of the law against gambling because, although every one might get his money’s worth, the element of chance was Involved in paying the machine.

Tracy Tragedy on the One Hand and Delay on the Other.

By M. E. Tracy Nothing heard from Nungesser and Coli yet, while unfavorable weather conditions prevent the American fliers from starting. Trogady on the one hand and delay on the other only odds to the suspense. The next New Tork-Paris flight will be watched with keener interest than ever. To Hunt the Lost .During the last few days three great nations have shown what they could do in mobilizing ships airplanes to hunt for lost aviators. It now becomes their privilege to show what they can do in the same way to prevent aviators from being lOPt. Check for 63 Cents John D. Rockefeller Jr. has Just received a check for 63 cents from the League of Nations. He agreed to finance the publication of a pamphlet for which the league had no available cash and sent 4,500 franc to cover the bill. The bill came to 63 cents less than that amount, which has been returned to Mr. Rockefeller. It is gratifying to know that the I.eague of Nations pays such great attention to details. And it Rained In the first place it rained at Philadelphia last Saturday and all the fans sought refuge in the grand stand. In the second place the Philadelphia team made eight runs in the seventh inning and everybody Jumped up and down with excitement. Not being designed to meet such emergenceis at the same time, the grand stand collapsed, killing one man and injuring 200 persons. Crowding and enthusiasm can be overdone, even at a baseball game. For Stricken Son Joseph A. Prieman of Brooklyn, N. V., might have stayed in the dry goods business .and become rich. Instead, he gave it lip and devoted his life to cure a stricken son. The son had an attack of infantile paralysis when only 1 year of age ! and became a hopeless Invalid. .Specialists were consulted, but to j no avail. Even the great Dr. 1.0- j renz had nothing to offer but a sad shake of the head. It was tinder such circumstances j that Mr. Prieman sold out his business in order that he might study such brances of medical science as promised to help and give his personal attention to the paralyzed hoy. His years of painstaking effort were rewarded last week when the boy got out of the invalid's chair he had occupied so many years, and walked. Grimly Monotonous The story of tho flood grows grimly monotonous. One wonders how long it will take for the crest to reach the sea. how many levees remain to break, how many farmers are left to be drowned out. Equally appalling is the thought that it will take the full effect of this disaster much longer to dis^ l tribute Itself through the Nation. To count the wrecked homes, dead cattle and destroyed equipment is merely to measure the first result. After that we have the problem of lost crops, reconstruction, reduced buying power and the prospects of several bad years before the refugees can get on their feet. Most Pressing Task The most pressing task is to house and provide work for one-half , million people. This Involves an enormous extension of credit from some source, and what source can stand it, except the Federal Government? Angry, Bewildered Russia is not only angry’, but bewildered at the London raid. She doesn't know whether her representatives have been caught in mischief or whether they were minding their own business and the British government made a mistake. The whole world is similarly perplexed and will remain so until Scotland reports what It found. It will be a sad day not only for Scotland Yard, but for the Conservative party In England If something worth while has not been found. Nag Her Into War Russia is inclined to suspect 'that all capitalist nations, but especially England, are trying to nag her into war. She may be right to some extent, but the capitalist nations have probably taken account of this suspicion and guessed that she could not be nagged into anything so foolish at this time. Russia, Radicalism To think of Russia’ is to think of radicalism, and to think of radicalism is to think of the Sacco-Van-zetti case which Governor Fuller of Massachusetts has under advisement. Radicalism has played too big a part in this case all the way through. Whether anti-radical prejudice had anything to do with the convictions of Sacco and Vanzetti, radical threats will nto help them. The brain-sick sympathizer, who sent Governor Fuller a pound of dynamite on Saturday with the message that there was a quarter of a ton more where it came from, represents the kind of friends *from which these two men have suffered most.

Meet a New Comedy Team —Karl Dane and George Arthur in ‘Rookies’ By Walter D. Hickman

Y'ou must get acquainted with the latest movie comedy team. Said team is composed of Karl Dane, the big fellow who spits to-

liacco juice so successfully, and George K. Arthur. Dane became famous over night by his work in “The Big Parade,” and he increases his value by his comedy performance in “Rookies,” a story of tho bright comedy side of life in a Citizens Military Training Camp. Dane Is east as a hardboiled sergeant who found. It easy to have the desire to make a wreck out

George K. Arthur

of Arthur as one of the smart rookies. It seems that it is difficult to keep comedy teams together after they have made a hit. but Dane and Arthur should not be separated for several seasons. Am willing to stake my reputation upon the statement that these two men make the hottest comedy team that the screen boasts of at the present time. Arthur is n comedian of the first rank and he has the funny “mug” and ways which screen so well. Dane, as you recall, is a type comedian. Just give him a hard-boiled opportunity and this man will walk awafy with it. Am sure that there are more real laughs in “Rookies” than in any comedy that I have seen this season. The subtitles are filled with the best kind of laugh material. The story of “Rookies” is Just one human scream after another. And what a finish! A captive balloon breaks away and carries Dane, the heroine and her papa for a nice, exciting ride in the clouds. Our rookie hero. Arthur, soars in an airplane to a dizzy height, jumps on top of the balloon and manages to get bis sweetheart and her papa safely back to earth. And Dane has a wow of a comedy finish —his encounter with a bird as he makes his jump to earth in a parachute. This “touch” is delicate, but It is a scream. Marceline Day is the cute little heroine who makes the hearts cf the rookies go pitter patter. Mras Day is a cute little trick, and you do not blame the boys in the movie going wild over her. Right now I am ready to vote “Rookies” the funniest and best comedy of the so far. It is* going to be a tough job to even equal this one. Tn the fir it place, “Rookies” Is a corking goci story. It glorifies the citizens’ training camps in a comedy way. According to my way of thinking, thia.man Arthur lias a good chance of being one of the comedy leaders on the screen. The bill includes Matt Moore in

Movie Verdict OHlO—Karl Dune and George K. Arthur in “Rookies" have earned the right to be called the best movie comedy team in the business today. “Rookies” is one of the funniest movies jever made. COLONIAL—The real hit of the bill is Charlie Chaplin in “Shoulder Arms,” made in the days when Charlie was happy and a real artist. CIRCLE—GIoria S w a nson takes full advantage of real dramatic situations in “The Love of Sunya." Mighty good theater. APOLLO—Another ineffective attempt to make a movie out of a novel by the late Gene Stratton Porter. This time it is “The Magic Garden.”

j “Hon. Mr. Buggs" and Charlie DaI vis and his gang in “Good-by Blues.” At the Ohio all week. CONSIDERING THE CHAPLIN OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS Have always thought that "SlioulI der Arms” is the funniest picture j that Charlie Chaplin has ever made Am more convinced than ever of my position after seeing this comedy again as one of the features of the current bill at the Colonial. When this picture was made, Chaplin was happy in his work of creating comedy

situations. If Chaplin ' is a genius, then “Shoulder Anna” reveals him as such. I was convinced yesterday that Chaplin In this movie put over real comedy scenes with less e o m e and y background and other assisting forces than generally are used by comedians of today. I like best to go back to the Chaplin with the funny shoes

Ralph Lewis

and the strange little walk. I even i love Chaplin In his early cane carry- | lng.days and that funny little derby. | He can put pathos into comedy as ! easily ns he can fun. And that I think is proof of genius. But I am sure of the fact that “Shoulder Arms” will remain one of the chief reasons why Chaplin did become famous. The dramatic feature of the bill is “Held by The Law,” one of those murder mystery affairs with the mystery missing. This is just auother of the “mine run” movies. In other words, just another film. The story is weak although Ralfih Lewis, Johnnie Walker and Mar- j garet Do la Motte do their best in j trying to put the story over. The Colonial management rushed a movie print of the Kentucky Derby to Indianapolis Sunday. These movie news reel people certainly are working fast these days. The Golden Peacock Orchestra Is again furnishing the music this week. At the Colonial all week. GLORIA IS THE GRAND PERSON IN HER LATEST Some years ago the stage had a play by the name of “The Eyes of j Youth.” When it became a success, it went into the movies under the same title and it restored Clara Kimball Young to a more pleasant position in the movie world. Gloria Swanson has used this same story for lier latest movie, which she calls “The :

Love of Sunya.” The story is a dramatic one as the heroine looks into a crystal to see what the future holds for her if she marries certain men who have asked her to take a trip to the altar. As Sunya. Miss Swanson has a chance to do some highly sustained and beautiful dramatic work. She has an opportunity

> Gloria Swanson

jto wear some gorgeous gowns in sets of rare beauty. In other words, ] “The Love of Sunya” is just the ; right kind of vehicle for the grand j looking Gloria. And this woman can put over a dramatic scene before the eye of the camera as few I women of the screen can. Gloria lis looking a little matronly and 1 Sunya in the “future scenes” is a matron of society as well as a great operatic singer. You see that Sunya

had to decide three questions— j Should she marry for money? For love or for a grand opera career? 1 The future scenes give her the courage to marry for love. And she docs just that. Miss Swanson is mighty wise in getting vehicles which gives her a chance to, look elegant and to act grand. Gloria is quite a grand person herself, you know. Her cast is quite effective, 1 especially Ivan T/ebedeff, Elobelle ; Fairbanks and lan Keith. Lebedeff is the young Russian actor that D. W. Griffith believes has a great I future on the screen. Griffith told j me that personally and 1 know thai he believes it. Albert has given Miss ' Sivonson a.nd other members of the , cist the proper direction. In other J words “The Love of Sunya” is 1 mighty effective dramatic theater, j Vltaphone this week Introduces, us to Isa Kramer and the Flonzab.v Quartet as well ns bringing had; Van and Shenck. The Flonzaloys play with as much perfection on Vitaphonc as they do on the concert stage. The bill also includes scenes of the Kentucky Derby. The orchestra this week is playing the haunting score of “The Merry Widow” as an overture. Beautifully played and splendidly directed. At the Circle all week. TONS OF SENTIMENT IN "THE MAGIC GARDEN It Is a difficult job to photograph the sentiment found in the novels of Gene Stratton Porter and "The , Magic Garden” is no exception to the rule. The chief character in "The Magic , Garden” is a rich girl who, when just a child, runs away to a pretty i little garden in the country and

there discovers a boy playing a violin. Although just children, they fall in love. The lad is sent to Europe to become a great violinist and does. The girl grows j into a beautiful woman who loves I the violinist. Both j suffer the memo- j vies of their first j meeting In the ! magic garden, j Keel after reel is used In bringing these two together so that they might

v-y "•£&;

Raymond Keane

live happily ever after. In other words. "The Magic Garden” as filmed Is Just a conventional love theme with the lovers doing their love making mentally In place of the moonlight close at hand. Raymond Keane has been given the role ns young violinist after the lad put on long pants. He might be grand on a date night with the heroine of the story, but he dosn’t impress me as being a violinist with a great soul. Os course, have your own verdict on “The Magic Garden.” To me the most enjoyable feature of the Apollo bill this week Is Our Gang in “Love My Dog.” There are i some of tho old faces mlsslrtg in the gang, but two or three of the best stilt are together. The dogs certainly do some good comedy work. Bill Includes a Fox news reel with scenes of the Kentucky Derby; Richard Gray in songs, Earl Gordon at the organ and more music by Emil Seidel and his orchestra. At the Apollo all week. Other theaters today offer: “Lass That Offff” at English’s, “The Pat- | sv" at Keith’s, Toby Wilson In “Oh, ; Henry” at the Palace, “Carnival of i Venice” at the Lyric, “Hills of Peril” at the Isis, and movies at the Uptown.

Of} C button xSrtcio’e Milton Work vJ 4 Campaign Plan Necessary Before Making One's First Play,

The pointer for today is: A declarer, before playing either from dummy or rinsed hand, should plan his campaign. In these articles 1 repeated!) Have urged a Declarer to plan his cam paign as soon as he sees Dummy’s cards. He thou knows for the tics! time tho exact composition of the combined hands, and is ab'c lo foi mutate the method of play most apt to produce the. desired result. To Illustrate this principle, ami also to afford an interesting and In structive test for my readers, 1 *j i using anew scheme this week. Each day a Bridge deal will be given, and readers will be asked to bid it and play the first trick as they would at the table. Each hand should bo considered as It would be In a real game and the bidding and plaj should not be Influenced by the location of cards which would not be known to a player In an actual game; in other words, these are not double dummy problems with all cards exposed, but are questions which confront a player in a real game. On the day succeeding the announcement of each problem, the answer with full explanation appear. Wj Every reader is urged to fill up Ills answer slip eaeli day this week, and compare results with the next day; and to Induce his friends, club males, and especially flic members of Jiis own family to fill slips nlae It is especially interesting to keep a score and, at the end of the week, to see who lias the most correct an swer slips. Today’s Problem In the following deal, look at the hand of each player and determine what you think he should bid In his turn; in that, way you will decide what the final contract should be. Then deckle what four cards should be played on the first trick and fill in pencil on the answer slip given below.

An instrument devised by Sir William Crookes by which radiant heat and light may be directly con verted into mechanical energy. It consists of an exhausted globe of glass In which a needle ts supported, carrying a rotating four-disk vane, the faces being blackened on one side. Placed In a field of light, the blackened side of each disk absorbs more of the radiant energy than the other side and the molecules of residual air that strike it are thus greater energy. The resulting prcßp sure does not become quickly lzed for the two sides as It would be. if the air was of ordinary density. Therefore the vane rotates. Q.
