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.
What Is Your Answer? By far the frankest and most important bit of official literature in the archives of the State is the letter of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom demanding that Governor Jackson urge an amendment to the laws which at present prohibit the use of whisky as a medicine. He has raised a question in a dramatic mannei which must be answered. He has asserted his right as a father to save the life of his son without becoming a criminal. He bias demauded from the Governor that he urge that all citizens be permitted to do legally what the Governor did illegally when the wife of the Governor faced death and the cure sought by physicians could only be obtained by violating the laws of the State. He has demanded that the law no longn attempt to restrict science, that it take its ruthless hand from the profession devoted to healing and to the saving of human life. He has demanded. abo\c all, that men be permitted to retain both their self respect and then respect for law. He has raised the question as to whether men in power shall be honest with the people or be hypocritical. He has said that what men in high position do in a crisis, illegally and surreptitiously, shall be permitted all men to do openly. Gilliom is one of the very few men in this State in any official position who can afford to raise this question of hypocritical dry legislation, enacted ■under the lash and whip of a fanatical Anti-Saloon League, without his. own motives being questioned. Gilliom. so It. happens, is one of the very few who need no prohibition laws to protect themselves from the evils of alcohol, who need never bo accused of being personally wet and officially dry. Gilliom, in his official prosecution of liquor violators, has been insistent and persistent. He has Insisted on law enforcement. It Is probable that he believes In sane prohibition laws. Personally he is known as one of the very few officials who never sneak into back rooms at banquets to take a surreptitious drink of bootleg. His record is that of 100 per cent tee-totalism. When he asks that the law take its strong hand from the skill of the physician and permit the doctor to use his knowledge without fear of prosecution, there is no suspicion that he represents those who might wish to misuse any such exemption from the bone dry laws His personal experience has made him a rebel against any law that strikes at his own self-respect. It may be taken for granted, despite the fact that Governor Jackson refuses to make any statement whatever, that Gilliom was sure of his facts when he declared that “you and I procured the needed whisky from friends." It is unfortunate that frankaess stops with Gilliom. It would be better for Indiana if hypocrisy were ended and men who secretly violate the dry law and officially indorse that same law were to either reform their habits or vote as they drink. In order to save the lives of his sons. Attorney General Gilliom was compelled to either personally violate or have a friend violate four sections of the State law, any one of which would subject him to imprisonment or fine. Since it is openly stated that the Governor procured whisky from his friends, it may he taken as a fact that he is in .exactly the same position. There can be but one of two courses. Those who believe that the law as it stands is a good law and should be enforced should demand that Attorney General Gilliom and Governor Jackson be sent to jail for saving the lives of their dear ones, or the law should be changed so that no other father or husband should be forced to violate a law under similar conditions. Those who believe in the present law and who condemn those who use whisky even to save human life, now have their chance to show their real sincerity. Attorney General Gilliom openly and frankly admits breaking the law. He is not a man who hides. He would probably admit the charge in open court. Those who so believe should demand today that he be arrested for the violation of this law. He 6eeks no special protection because of his office. He asks only that the law be such as to force no man to become a criminal to save a life. The professional dry leaders who have successfully prevented an amendment to the law should now demand that It be enforced. Their power over legislators and prosecuting attorneys has been absolute. They should have no difficulty in getting a warrant. And if you were on a jury, would you vote to send Arthur Gilliom to jail? If not, why not join him id an appeal to Governor Jackson to do as Gilliom asks him to dopermit every father who may have such a problem, every husband whose wife is so threatened with death, to be a law-abiding citizen, not a secret and shamed violator of the law. Where do you stand? New Capitals Postal authorities, planning for the future expansion ol tne air mall, say that Laredo or El Paso, Texas, arc the logical clearing points for air mail routes to Central and South America. Growth of this air transportation is bound to Influence greatly the map of the future. Cities which are pi jpared to make the most of their air assets are the cities that will be on this map. Airports built now may be the pioneer settlements for the air capitals o!' the next generation. An American Asset In any survey of modern America to determine our greatest assets, no small notice should be given to the township high schools. These centralized schools, now so common as to be given scant notice in most of the States, afe in truth one of the real seven wonders of America, whatever the other six may be. Bulwark of democracy that “the little red school house’’ was, it pales into insignificance when compared to its successor. I• 1 i
Bring Lindbergh Home On a Warship The whole civilized world is honoring Lindbergh. Paris and all France have gone Lindbergh mad. thrilled to the marrow by the unparalleled exploit of the lone American's hop across the Atlantic. President Doumergue, in the presence ,of high French officials and the American ambassador at Elysee palace, has given the daring youth the double Accolade and pinned upon his chest the scarlet ribbon and cross of a knight of the Legion of Honor. The King of Spain, the King of Sweden, the King of Belgium, Premier Mussolini of Italy; the potentates of far countries and government everywhere have cabled their acknowledgments to the American, ransacking their vocabularies for adjectives deemed worthy to describe what they think of bis well-nigh superhuman deed. But we Americans have'done nothing. True we have shouted ourselves hoarse, figuratively at least, and as plain people done our best to show our admiration for him and the thing he liar; done. But there we have had to stop. One of the shortcomings of our democracy is that we have no way to reward our heroes adequately and promptly. Napoleon used to tear from his breast one of his own decorations and pin it upon some gallant hero upon the field of action. Wc Americans must wait until Congress assembles and votes a congressional medal or until some board acts or something, before we can show our national appreciation in a material way. Thanks, it might almost be said, are better late than never. But there is one thing America can do for Lindbergh. It can bring him back home to this country on a warshrip. Several United States war vessels are now in European waters. Soon they will start the return journey. One of these can easily be assigned to bring the hero home. Captain Lindbergh has brought great honor upon America clear around the world. This thing we can do for him. A small thing, surely, but there are so few things we can do. It would he only a gesture—but a gesture showing him and the world that America is proud of her son. The Times and other Scripps-Howard newspapers offer this as a suggestion to President Coolidge and the American Government. Los Angeles Is Doing It Los Angeles, demonstrator for publicly-owned water and power, is about to declare its complete emancipation from private power interests. June 7 an initiative election will be held there to give the city the right to purchase the only remaining private distributor of electricity, the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Company. The city bureau of light and power, now serving two-thirds of the population, will then take into the fold the remaining one-third. The bureau of light and power has made a remarkable showing for public ownership of electricity. Without one cent cost to the taxpayers and at rates one-third lower than those charged by private companies in surrounding cities, Los Angeles has built up a system of dams, power houses, lines and installations estimated to be worth $55,000,000. By Spt. i it will show total net profits since 1910 of more than $11,000,000 and an annual net earning capacity today of $3,000,000. The railroad commission has estimated that in the next three years the city plants will earn $11,000,000. Los Angeles’ growing industries, stimulated by cheap city power rates, are thirsty for more current and the city bureau is working hard for the success of the 600-foot dam project at Boulder Canyon to meet the increasing demand. Coolidge stood in a driving rain on the White House lawn to have his picture taken with members of the American Medical Association. Mr. President, those doctors will get you yet. Men are outnumbered by women In Paris by 300,000, the cables reveal. The American Legion might change it to “Ladies, we are here!” 'loo many women are killing their husbands, say tha policewomen. This movement should be curtailed a little, to be successful. Schools on trains and In boats are among the new ventures. Anything to keep the young folk from committing suicide! Discovery that fifty-two insane persons were driving automobiles in Detroit puts the estimate much lower than most of us would have expected. A strike followed when pebbles were found in the bean soup at Sing Sing. Conficts, seeking for beans in the bean soup at Sing Sing certainly haven’t lost their optimism, anyhow. The trouble with a bigamist is that he loves not wisely but two well. An actress is writing “Memoirs of Hollywood.” Isn’t that too killing! April showers bring May floods.
Law and Justice
By Dexter M. Keeezer
A man parked his automobile on a steep hill where parking was prohibited by city ordinance and wont into a restaurant. When he came out about an hour later he found that his automobile had run down the hill and crashed into another car whic was also parked in a place were parking was prohibited by law. The man whose automobile was hit sued for damages. He said the reason that his car was improperly parked when hit was because he had run out of gasoline which was geing obtained at the time of the crash. The owner of the runaway car claimed that he should not be required to pay damages because tho owner of the other car was violating the law at the time of the collision. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The ailual decision: The Supreme Court of the State of Washington decided that the man whose car was hit was not barred from collecting damages because it was temporarily parked where no parking was allowed while he went to get gasoline. The court 6aid that the ordinance prohibiting parking “did not contemplate a situation whereby the exigencies of the occasion, a person must temporarily stop his car on that street.”

rr-i I RACY Says: It Is Childish to Discuss His F'eat in the Light of War.
By M. E. Tracy To sum it up, Lindbergh has given aviation a tremendous boost, has helped to create better feeling between France and the United States and has sent a fine example for boys throughout the world. It is childish to discuss his feat in the light of war. He may have proved how easy it would be for enemy planes to cross the ocean, but that is not what he started out to prove, and only twisted minds can visualize it as the important point. Promotes Peace The airplane, like every other instrument of faster communication, promotes peace. Two hundred years ago the sea frothed with piracy and naval strife. Even 100 years ago it was comparatively unsafe. Men of a gloomy turn saw the steamship as only a more terrible weapon for marauder and war iord. They were wrong as they always are and have been. Steamships have made the sea quiet and orderly, compared to what it used to be. It is a pitiful philosophy that regards invention, discovery and achievement a3 only increasing the terrors of life. If this were so. civilization would be vain, and the sooner we scrapped it and went back to the jungle the better.
Anglo-Russian Break The United Press says that England will break with Soviet Russia. This means that the extremists have gained control of the cabinet and are about to commit the Conservative party to a course from which its moderate leaders shrink. So for as England is concerned, the issue is local rather than international. What the extremists are attempting is to discredit the labor movement. They authorized the raid on “Soviet house” in London with the hope of finding some evidence that would link the movement with the Russian regime. Front what has occurred since, it s logical to infer that they intended to break with Russia whether ruci; evidence was found or not. In Tragic Incident Speaking of Russia, her present regime probably began in a tragic incident which occurred forty years ago last Saturday. On that day five students were hanged after a secret trial. One of them was Alexander Illytch Ulianof, a prize student in chemistry, and Nicolai Lenin’s eldest brother. It is said that, young Lenin, then a lad of 17. made a solemn vow to devote his life to the overthrow of tsarism At the time this looked like a hopeless task and the chances are that those who knew about it and sympathized with it put the young man’s resolve aside as a piece of youthful emotionalism. Thousands had made such a vow before under equally stressing circumstances, but only to die for it or become discouraged. There comes a moment when the destiny of empires turns on seemingly small events. Nicolai Lenin stepped on the stage sit such a moment. Three hundred years of misrule had prepared a way! for his cry of revolt. 100 Per Cent Enforcement Seymour Lowman, newly appointed prohibition commissioner, says he is for 100 per cent cnforfcement, but does not expect to have every toter of a hip pocket flask arrested. It is difficult to reconcile the two statements. In what section does the Volstead act grant immunity to the hip pocket flask? Air. Lowman also says that he will not indulge in such sensational efforts as “opera bouffe naval wars on the twelve-mile limit,” which is something else you find hard to reconcile with the 100 per cent enforcement. How can “rum row” be broken up, except by “opera bouffe wars on the twelve-mile limit,” unless, indeed, the opera bouffe is brought closer to shore? Mr. Lowman is obviously sincere in his attitude and is doing his best to square it with a common sense of law enforcement. The trouble is that the kind of law enforcement which Volsteadism calls for leaves no room for common sense. “Opera bouffs naval wars on the twelve-mile limit,” hip pocket flasks and a continuous meddling witrf the private affairs of millions of people are as inevitable part of it, and no one can hope to enforce it without giving them full consideration. Dry Law Modification Attorney General Gilliom of Indiana recommends that the prohibition law of the State be modified. He has written a letter to Governor Jackson in which he brings out some physical arguments of a telling character. Indiana's prohibition law makes the possession of whisky, for any purpose whatsoever, unlawful. Attorney General Gilliom says that he found it necessary to break that law when his three children were ill and the attending physician prescribed whisky. He also says that Governor Jackson broke the law when Mrs. Jackson was ill. It is a ridiculous situation when the Governor and attorney general of a sovereign State have to break a law they have sworn to uphold to save | the life of their relatives. What is Ihe meaning of “tor?” Is it obsolete? Both Funk and Wagnall's New | Standard Dictionary of the English language and the Century Dictionary I give tower as the meaning of “tor.” It is rarely found in literature but is not obsolete*

Sullivan, Arnold and Milton Byron Most to Do in ‘The Home Towners'
Even the name of George M. Cohan as the author of “The Home Towners” will never make me like it. The fact remains that in this play made up mostly of talk and no plot
at all that Milton Byron, Idabelle Arnold and Larry Sullivan do wonderful work to carry on. This play gives Byron a chance to do a polite dress suit role. Byron is improving so much in the projection of his character work that he gives a splendid performance of this dressed up character.

County Urged to Push Work on Tibbs Ave.
The complaint to Mr. Fixit that work begun on Tibbs Ave. last fall has been delayed, has been turned over to County Commission President Cassius Hogle, w ho promised to push the work as fast as possible. The city has no jurisdiction over the Tibbs Ave. project as it is not in city limits. The Hayes Construction Company has the contract. The letter: Dear Mr. Fixit: Having noticed your good work in behalf of the citizens and taxpayers. I am going to ask you to use your office to get some action out in my neighborhood. Early last summer Tibb.s Ave. was torn up to be resurfaced. The work dragged along all summer until bad weather set in and put a halt to it. So far this spring there has been no effort to continue it. It seems that something could be done to finish the street, as it carries a lot of traffic when open. It is the only way many of us can get to passable streets. Won't you please see what is wrong. Surely they can go ahead now. Thanking you for anything they can do for us. I am a DISGUSfED TAXPAYER. Collection Superintendent Truly Nolen informed Mr. Fixit he would investigate the complaint that a resident at 843 Madison Ave. had no garbage collection service.

LOOKING OVER NEW ORCHESTRA AT THE PALACE Gibson’s Navigators, a gvoup of nine young women in an orchestra offering, demonstrate in a most pleasing manner what a young girl thinks of when it conies to modern dance tunes. These girls have a crack orchestra and are among the best of the women’s bands that we have as yet heard. Their selections are afl of the popular type, with plenty of pep and life to them. Featured are several solos by the different members and a bit of comedy. Grade Deagon and company, mostly Miss Deagon, is a comedy act in which Miss Deagon succeeds very well in impersonating in what is. in our opinion, the most humorous and most dumb young thing we have seen for a long time. The comedy in this act is of a high order and we can assure you of a good laugh if you go to the Palace. Louise Wright has a voice that. Is pleasing to hear, and she does several songs very well. Asa bit of a change she takes on a little of the manner of Fanny Brice and does sentimental comedy things about a young immigrant who is just landing in this country. We liked her singing the best. Dainty Marie and company is a mixture of comedy and reducing exerclses so you can take your pick and like whichever thing pleases your fancy. We did not get a very big kick out of ’the comedy in the act. hut there were others around us that did, so we may he wrong. Anyway, Marie has a wonderful figure, and we suspect there will be several trying the exercises she recommends. Missed the opening act. At the Palace today and tomorrow.

My choice of the proceedings does not include as a favorite the socalled headline event, Wesley Barry and his orchestra. I will select as my merit favorites three acts. And here they are: 1. “Dance Studio," because in it you have a woman who does marvelous too work in dance as well as eccentric stuff. Probably as fine an example of toe dancing as one will see all summer. Act pleases with ease with this woman. The work of the dancing chorus is above the average seen in such acts. 2. Levan and Doris, two young men who do some soft shoe darfeing which is the real article. They have a fine comedy attitude and they work with speed and class. 3. The Exposition Four, a quartet organization which is blessed with good showmanship. Their closing

number, with assistance of a woman singer, is a great number from a showmanship standpoint. It is true that a movie actor may not be a good director of an orchestra. This applies, in my judgment. to Wesley Barry as a conductor of an orchestra, I like this boy Barry for what lie has done on the screen. I do no# like to be unkind to any body who has made this world g happier place to live in. I must say that I do not like Barry in the role of a director of an orchestra. Ong and Ong go in for modernized Chinese melody and comedy. “Tulip Time" is a quaint little musical comedy with its setting in Holland. Pleasing tunes, fair comedy and a novelty song on the part of a woman which is splendid. Lester. Beil and Griffin open the show in an acrobatic offering. The movie is Ben Turpin in “Broke In' China." At the Lyric all week. Other theaters today include “Long Pants" at the Circle. “Rockies” at the Ohio: “Blind Alleys” at the Apollo; “The Love Thrill” at the Colonial and "The Prairie King” at the Isis.
