S CR IPPS-HOWARD

The Time Is Here Indiana deserves better than it has had. It deserves a better reputation abroad. It deserves better government at home. Most of all it deserves public ownership of public offices. Finally, after months of obstruction and hindrance, the revelation of Stephensonism is being made. Finally the letters which this former head of the Klan who made himself the political dictator of Indiana are in the hands of the public prosecutors. They must, of course, be made public, whether they be evidence of crime or not. For the people are entitled to know with whom this man dealt and the terms he made, what steps he took to kidnap a political party and take over the empire of Indiana. The people are entitled to know what manner of men and what kind of men they have had and may still have in office in this State. Just as cancer can not be cured with talcum powder, the political ills of a State can not be cured except by major operations. This State has suffered for years from its unsavory politics which led up to the full flowering in Stephensonism. N The Times today prints one of the hidden chapters in recent political history, a chapter which should warn the people, of the importance of owning their own political offices. It shows the manner in which a machine is built and how it expects to operate; The Times prints this story after a most complete exhaustive investigation and upon the authority of those whom it believes the public will believe. This story is printed to show the people of this State how they have been governed and how their officials have been chosen for them, not by them. Self-government becomes a farce when political bosses, place such emphasis upon the control of the key offices in prosecution of crime. If the bosses want to control the office of prosecutor, they do so only because they expect to use that office to protect themselves against prosecution. Men who do not expect to violate laws do not go to unusual lengths to secure a friendly occupant of that office. Other offices are important to other men. The State public service commission is important to the public utilities. They try to control that branch of government. The tax machinery is important to large owners of property and they interest themselves in its control. And in the conflict and secret plottings the man or woman who wants nothing from government but a square deal is lost and forgotten. He becomes the victim and the prey of all the selfish and the greedy. At this time it may be profitable to again recall the incidents of the months which have intervened since Stephenson sent from his prison cell the smuggled letter that he had documentary proof of vast corruption in this State. The reply of officials that he was trying to blackmail his way to liberty hardly fits the situation. Every effort was made to prevent him from talking or disclosing whatever he had. At each attempt a strange and mysterious force closed his lips. ( For the first time in fifteen years a prison rule was enforced which prevented a prisoner from talking to newspaper men of the State. Yet in his prison cell Stephenson was able to predict weeks in advance just what would be the report of a grand jury whose special prosecutors were paid from the Governor’s contingent fund and not only the report but the vote inside that jury. The State suffered as much from the bad repute occasioned by the attitude of officials as it did from the charges itself. The Times believed then and believes now that the bad reputation of this State came from the conduct of its officials, which convinced the people that many had something they wished very much to hide. It was due to the efforts of The Times that finally the prosecutors have in their possession these black boxes and the Stephenson correspondence. For it was The Times which furnished the trail to the first grand jury, the evidence that Stephenson had documents which he considered so valuable that he had them photographed. It was The Times which printed the $2,500 check made by Stephenson to Ed Jackson, a check-which had been rumored and which the Governor months ago could have as easily explained by the story of the horse trade as he did finally when the original check was produced and proved beyond any question of a doubt. If men have only committed political indiscretions, :ow is the time for frank and full admissions. If they ait until the evidence is produced, they must further md more deeply involve the State. The time has come for a full, quick and complete .iean-up of the whole unsavory mess. The time has come, perhaps, for resignations and certainly for confessions. The State has suffered too long. The hour for the scalpel and the knife is at hand. The cancer must be cut out, not dusted over with sweet scented powders. Indiana’s Men On Horseback (Chicago Tribune) ' , Dr. A. E. Buchanon, who is described in Indiana as a horse fancier, says that the sorrel saddle horse, The Senator, was worth in his prime days a maximum of $325, no more and maybe some less. The Senator is the horse Governor Ed Jackson sold to Stephenson, the grand old man of the Indiana Klux, now in the penitentiary for murdering a girl. The Governor sold him for $2,500 to Stephenson. That was his explanation of the check made payable to him by the Klan dragon. The Governor is entitled to credit for bettering the best Indiana traditions for hoss barter and salo. In Illinois they blame these things on dead friends and get behind obituary notices. It is reported that The Sepator also is dead, but his memory is decorated with the testimonial that he was worth $2,500 because the grand dragon wanted to ride him. In his day Stephenson was as well mounted in Indiana as the Rev. Mr. Shumaker of the Anti-Saloon League still is and the price of the mount was a small matter whatever it was.

Is the World Lining Up Against Us? The fifth Pan-American labor congress has said good-by to Washington and its members have entrained for their homes in various parts of Latin America. “There exists in the minds of Latin American peoples,” said William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor and of the congress, “a distrust of the attitude of our people. That distrust must be removed if we are to develop commerce and understanding.” The American labor leader, we are sorry to say, never spoke truer words. Latin Americans us as the delegates to the Pan-American labor congress made unmistakably clear again and again, individually and by resolution, they jabbed, jibed and excoriated us for our sins against them, real and fancied. “Oh,” we hear someone saying, “those who criticized us and called us imperialists were only radicals, probably agents of Moscow.” We heartily wish this were the case. But the congress flayed the reds and denounced the communists and their doings more completely than it did us. So we can not dismiss its criticisms thus lightly. No, it is as President Green says: Latin Americans distrust us, and more. They suspect and fear us. And it is going to take years of endeavor on the part of our cleverest diplomats to rid their minds of that impression. There is nothing we can think of that Is more important, nothing that in the long run will have greater bearing on our future, for good or for ill, than our relations with Latin America. And the President of the United States faces no more vital problems, at home or abroad, than this. President Coolidge and his successors are going to have to bear this in mind when selecting secretaries of state and ambassadors and ministers to these republics. And these diplomats should have it firmly impressed upon their minds, one and all, that their success will be measured largely by the good will they succeed in creating. Another year or so of blustering and blundering in Mexico, Nicaragua and elsewhere in Latin America, and a few more excuseless diplomatic fiascos of the Tacna-Arica brand—due to sheer incapacity in our Department of State—and it will be a question whether we can ever really undo the harm done. The American statesman who is blind to the fact that the attitude of virtually the entire world is becoming increasingly hostile to the United States is simply no statesman. This is not saying the hostility is justified. To the contrary, much of it is worse than unfair; it is idiotic. But that is beside the mark. The unpleasant fact exists. The ant’-Amer-ican sentiment is there. "The foreign war debt problem will be settled against us and in favor of those who owe us,” says Admiral Bradley Fiske. How? Through a sort of world coalition against us in the next twenty-five years, when our debtors, being our victors, will simply wipe the debts off the slate. Nor is this anew thought. Others see the storm gathering. Foreign countries owe us more than $25,000,000,000 and we are adding to that staggering amount at the rate of $1,000,000,000 a year. Money lending notoriously makes enemies for the lender, and we must expect that. But, in addition, of late years it would seem that the very devil himself has conspired to make us do the wrong thing at the right time, without cease and without fail. Washington officials 'are going to have to learn more about foreign affairs. They are going to have to study their geography and their history. They are going to have to'imbibe some new ideas and begin, not to toady—God forbid!—but to cultivate friendships among nations. And the place to begin is among our neighbors to the south of the Rio Grande. Some day we may need them, and badly. The only charge that could be preferred against some of the bathers we’ve seen on the beaches this season Is false pretenses. A film actress newlywed says she means to stay married. Most of them spend at least a little time alone between husbands. A means of bleaching out red noses has been discovered. Don’t tell us there’s been dririking going on! When may one call a child dull? asks a newspaper headline. The answer is when in presence of the neighbors only. George Washington sponsored aeronautics, the historians now reveal. Surely, he sent a whole British army up in the air. About the only unregulated industries regaining are the 100-cup-coffee-drinkers and the marathon dancers.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

A man had a deposit in a bank which failed. He also rented an office from the bank. For five months after the bank failed he did not pay his rent, and then sought to offset what he owed as rent against what the defunct bank owed him on account of his deposit in it. He said the bank owed him money and he owed the bank money, and that, consequently, a fair way to settle the opposing claims would be to set them off against each other. The bank receiver contended that such an adjustment would give the man who owed the rent an unwarranted- preference over other depositors in the bank. It would give him a dollar-for-dollar adjustment of rent against his deposit when the deposit might ultimately have to be adjusted on a much less favorable basis. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The United States District Court-of Oklahoma decided that such an adjustment could not be made. It said that the rent which the man owed had accrued after the bank had failed, and that consequently it could not be offset r3r*nst what the bank owed the man at the time it \. nt into bankruptcy.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: The Incisive Reasoning of Theodore Roosevelt, the Clean - Cut Logic of Woodrow Wilson, and the Sonorous Oratory of Warren G. Harding Become Pale and Insipid Beside These Pictures of Calvin Coolidge.

CINCINNATI, 0., July 25.—1f you would see this town to the best possible advantage, approach It from the upriver on a bright summer morning, with the slightest film of fog playing over the yellow bosom of the Ohio, above which glorious green hills rise on either hand, while the newly risen sun comes back at you from a thousand scintillating windows. They call it the Rome of America not only because its dwellings and parks have overflowed seven hills, but because it fronts on a stream which resembles Father Tiber in color at least. Besides this borrowed distinction, Cincinnati is justy famous for the good music it still makes and the good beer it once produced, for its large percentage of native-born, for its commodious houses set far back from the street in spacious grounds, and for the fact that Alice Roosevelt married one of its leading citizens. Boosting Longworth Attorney-General Turner, of Ohio, came all the way from Columbus on Saturday to bless the annual outing the Blaine Club with his presence and to make political remarks which tickled local pride, even if they were neither profound nor original. “If Calvin Coolidge should not be able as our standard-bearer next year,” he said, “we have in Nick Longworth an admirable candidate for that high office.” Such a sentiment finds favor with Cincinnati folks, not only because they like Nick Longworth, but because they recognize his wife as her father’s own daughter. Coolidge of the Movies Meanwhile, Calvin Coolidge continues to angle, and failing to hook fish, has himself photographed for the delectation of an overly credulous public. Whether available as a presidential candidate, he has made himself available for the movies in a dozen different styles. Anxious citizens, laboring for a better understanding of the problems of their country and striving to vote right with painful conscientiousness can now see Mr. Coolidge riding a hayrake, rigged up in a sombrero and chaps, or posing as a fisherman on the banks of a Western creek, as they prefer. Out of the medley, they should receive convincing entertainment. Not every age and generation have been blessed with such clean cut expositions. The incisive reasoning of Theodore Roosevelt, the clean-cut logic of Woodrow Wilson, and the sonorous oratory of Warren G. Harding become pale and insipid beside these pictures of Calvin Coolidge. Never in the country’s history, perhaps, have the people been furnished with such brilliant elucidations of the problems of the day. A hayrake, a cowboy hat and a new fishing rod —think of what an education they afford the honest, hard-working citizens if he will only take time to analyze them. Calvin Coolidge can play farmer, broncho buster and fisherman without even looking the part, which proves that the third term is no issue. Serene as Others Toil Pleasant, indeed, are times which permit of such serenity and accommodations on the part of our chief executive. • Not every President has felt he could take such a long and distant vacation, and not one has deigned to go through such an arduous sequence of poses for the edification of the public. Mr. Coolidge not only finds himself blessed with prosperity, but with a set of advisers who seem able and willing to shoulder most of his burdens. Smoot is ready to tell the people what they can expect by way of a tax cut; Hoover looks after the flood situation: Mellon wrestles with the debt problem; McNary redrafts the farm relief bill; the National Chamber. of Commerce decided what our attitude should be toward Russia; marines and bombing planes bring the Nicaraguan affair to a tragic conclusion; and British statesmen are prepared to tell us how to act in China —so why should the President worry? Campaign Evolution He should not, and apparently he does not, except over the question of being available if the country sets up a spontaneous clamor which it may not be able to refrain from doing because of the influence of those wonderful pictures. We are beholding the evolvment of a most unique campaign. Presidential candidates have intrigued the public by shouting to it from innumerable rostrums and by remaining in stern isolation on their front porches, but the record shows no instance where one has sought to beguile them by being photographed in roles he could not play through to the finish. Is this modernity come to take command of politics, or the diseased imagining of some addlepated press agent? “If Calvin Coolidge is not available,” says the attorney general of Ohio—and there you have the Republican problem in a nutstell. As for the Democrats, they watch proceedings with rather stupid amazement, hoping that the Republicans will make another zlunder.

When Wallace Beery Bites a Dog, the Dog Is More Than Satisfied and Wallace Himself Is Very Happy

When a dog bites a man, he should promptly turn around, pick up'said dog and give the dog a good manly bite on the dog’s back. And thdn the man should say to the dog, “Well, how do you like that?” And for an answer, the dog will start a retreat the second he can. In other words that is what the dog does in the movie comedy, “Fireman, Save My Child,” after Wallace Beery bites the back of the dog. The dog decided that he would like to frolic with Raymond Hatton while Raymond and Wallace are moving a piano up seven flights of stairs in an apartment house. So the dog makes a successful attack upon Raymond and Wallace decides to give the dog some of his own medicine and does. I know what you want to ask me. Your question is: Is "Fireman, Save My Child” as funny as “Behind the Front” and “We’re in the Navy Now?” To me, their latest comedy is much funnier that the navy picture and equals the great fun in “Behind the Front.” And yet it seems to me that it is Hatton who is trailing after Beery instead of leading the fun procession. I will remember “Fireman, Save My Child” because Beery is in it and not because these two funny men are teamed together. And yet in all of the big comedy scenes, Wallace and Raymond are both present. This movie is full of one hokum comedy scene after another, especially after the beginning of the movie when Beery and Hatton are shown going to., school at their present age. Trick photography again turns ’em into “children” again. And the dear old school teacher uses such endearing expressions as “you slob.” You remember that one of the biggest laughs in “Behind the Front” was when Beery falls into a mudhole. Well, the latest BeeryHatton combination certainly has its big splash. It happens when Beery refuses to get off of his fire truck because Beery refuses to step in mud. Hatton says something about “Queen Elizabeth” and spreads his coat over the mud puddle. And when Beery steps on the coat, he just sinks out of sight. I am not going into detail about the other fun in this movie because I feel confident that you will agree with me that this movie equals "Behind the Front” for laughs and easily excels “We’re in the Navy Now.” The bill includes an Imperial comedy, a news reel, Apollo Merrymakers and Earl Gordon at the pipe organ. At the Apollo all week. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HAROLD RAMSAY THIS WEEK They are bound to be talking this week about a man by the name of Harold Ramsay. Personally, I have desired for Ramsay to get away for a week at least from his novelty stuff and come back to pure melody. I have suspicioned for some time that such a thing would be much

welcomed because Ramsay knows how to make a pipe kneel to his every mood. So this week Ramsay takes the melody of “A Russian Lullaby” and lifts that haunting time to the seventh neaven of musical beauty. He calls his organ presentation this week, “A EUEL33 Recitation.” He tackles the theme of the “lullaby” in vari-

ous moods, the result being a triumph of soothing melody. Here is a good atmospheric melody, and with Ramsay’s artistry and splendid understanding of transposing

moods and color of harmony, the result is a masterpiece of sympathetic heart harmony. Up to date, I consider this week’s organ presentation the very finest thing that Ramsay has given this city. On the bill at the Indiana is another pleasing melody contribution which is given by Restino, an accordian player who whistles and has nervous dancing feet. He ceratinly does some “wicked” things on his accordion. The orchestra this week is playing favorite themes. Novelty in the presentation of a single song is to be found in the way. of Andre Chariot has produced “The Peddler,” a Publix presentation. A peddler first appears and starts singing about the toys for children he is ..tiling. He then takes a nap and the toys come to life and frolic. The toy kangaroo does an eccentric dance. The dolls cone to life and dance. The nine pir.s do some nifty stepping and “Hank,” the mule, impersonated by Tex Morrisey, proves to be a splendid comedy cut-up. Miss Morrisey is clever in eccentric dancing. The children will love this presentation and it is adult enough to hold the interest and admiration of the grown-ups. “Dance Magic,” the feature picture, is one of those movies which tells the story of a good gal from a tank town who goes to New York for the purpose of being a star. And of course you will find all the shop worn stuff of such 6tories in “Dance Magic.” The show manager who is a beast with his favorites: the dame who kills the manager so he can not harm a hair in our little gal's head from Main St. Os course the gbod rich man is there who protects Our Nell from mere bad men. Pauline Starke is the good gal from the small town who goes to New York and refuses to pay for being made a star. Ben Lyon is cast as the good rich man who suffers while he loves. Oh, yes indeed, the screen is in need of new writers. “Dance Magic” proves it. The bill includes other events. At the Indiana all week. A LITTLE LECTURE ON MIGHTY BAD JUDGMENT I am convinced that the surest way to ruin a star in the movie business is to give him bad and poorly written vehicles. Just who is responsible for putting Milton Sills in “Framed”

should be called upon the green carpet and given one of the severest talks ever handed out to an individual. Sills has had his share of bad vehicles, has suffered in this way about as much as Tom Meighan. “Framed” is as poor a story for a movie, the way it is being revealed on the screen, that I have ever seen. It is a

Milton Sills

poor movie vehicle and more so, when the talent of a man like Sills is completely wasted on such poor material. I have been impatient when heroes of stories have been sent to prison when they are entirely innocent and everybody in the audience knows it. It seems evaryone in the world is wise to the innocence of the hero, but the author. And so Sills goes to a fever camp, a prison situated in a most unhealthy country. He suffers and suffers, only to come out of the camp dolled up in warm weather white pants and other similar material in order that he may claim the girl he loves. The only thing of any real interest in this movie is when part of the diamond mine gives way and mud starts to flow in, trapping the hero and the heroine. Os course they both finally escape. I ask you in all kindness, if you enjoy this movie and do not agree with me that Sills’ talents are

wasted in such stuff, please write me and state your opinion. Have given you my opinion of “Framed.” I can see no excuse for putting Sills in such a story. Be your own Judge as usual. It is pleasant to tell you Paul Tremaine has in his orchestra, Aristocrats of Modern Music, a group of young men who love to play. They make up about the livest bunch of players I have seen in a long time. Tremaine and his men have what I call original pep and they know how to dress up certain musical numbers with a brand of comedy which lands solidly. They are good on harmony and their arrangements of various popular melodies are both new and original. They inject pep and new stunts that do not offend. Tremaine goes at his act in a manner which is individual, but he never loses track of harmony even for novelty or comedy. Here is an orchestra made up of young men who love to play. And how they do it. While I was present Tremaine and his men made themeslves mighty popular. They seem to say, “Yes, folks, we have a corking good time entertaining you and we hope you are happy.” And they win with ease. Miguel Galvan, banjo player, is introduced as a specialty during the orchestra routine. This man is a winner, he goes at his act also in a unique manner. He actually stops the show. The bill includes another of the Collegian stories, this time it is called “The Cinder Path.” Still mighty good college fun. At the Circle all week. REWRITING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TODAY The ten commandments have been rewritten to fit the modern chorus girl. All ten of the commandments are one and the same. ‘Get your man.” Esther Ralston as a modern "chorine” demonstrates how it is done in “The Ten Modern Commandments” at the Ohio Theater this week. Supported by Neil Hamilton and the Marion Morgan dancers, this little beauty of the screen shows

the workings of the modern revue. To succeed, the idea seems, it is necessary to get the backing of the producer. But Miss Ralston as Kitten O’Day does it in the opposite way. She shields the producer from the women who would bother him. Neil Hamilton takes the part of a young song writer fresh from

i' ”

Esther Ralston

his home town. He has a song that he thinks is a hit. But the trouble is to get someone to listen to it. Kitten does that for him and lands herself a job at the same time. Miss Ralston does some very good acting in this film. Her way of putting the song over on the opening night appeals. To help the man she loves is the uppermost thought and it is done in such a natural way. Nothing of the superficial is in evidence. Neil Hamilton as Tod, the last name doesn’t matter, seems to get l discouraged too easily. Yet he isj always on the job. It doesn’t ring; true. His work as the composer and the lover ks very good. He is to be commended. A comedy and news reel with a request program on the organ complete the program. At the Ohio all week.—(By the Observer.) Other theaters today offer: Nile and Mansfield at the Palace; Bow-man-Powers Revue at the Lyric; “Love 'Em and Leave ’Em” at English's; “The Gorilla” at Keith's and “Winners of the Wilderness” at the Isis.

Why the •S Weather?

SSS" Talmsn Meteorology

“EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE” Whether the air feels warm or cold depends upon three things—temperature, humidity and airmovement. Various combinations of these three elements give the same sensation of warmth and comfort, and their combined effects are measured in terms of "effective temperature.” This new method of measuring atmospheric comfort has been devised at the Research Laboratory of tho American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, in Pittsburgh. The way it was worked out Is thus described in a current technical journal. "Subjects were placed first in an air-conditioned ohamber, where the air was still and saturated with moisture: i. e., 100 per cer- relative humidity. In a similar chamber adjoining higher temperatures and lower humidities and various degrees of air motion could be maintained: and the subjects passed back and forth from the first to the ;econd chamber, adjustments of the air conditions being made in the second until the subjects reported an equal degree of comfort in both. The dry-bulb temperature, wet-bulb temperature and air motion in the second were then said to represent an ‘effective temperature’ equal to the actual temperature in the first chamber.” In like manner, the temperature of the original chamber was varied through a wide range, and similar comparisons were made with conditions in the second chamber, until a complete scale of effeective temperatures was obtained. These can be expressed by means of suitable diagrams. The effective temperature found to be best in still air for the average human being at rest and normally clothed is 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mr. Fixit New Tactics Being Used in Corner Weed War.

Mr. Fixit, The Times reporter at city holl. will be glad to present your complaints to city officials. Letters must bear writer's name and address. Names will not be published. Much time and trouble can ba saved and results can be obtained sooner if all complaints on high weeds are signed, according to street commissioner’s office. The exact address of the undesirable condition must be given. Warning to property owners to cut their weeds gets little result. This practice has been stopped. Now. when a properly filled out complaint comes into the office, the department sends a man to mow and places a lien against the property for the costs. Dear Mr. Fixit: On Goodlet Ave., between the alley and Tenth St., the weeds are as high as one’s head and so thick one has to walk in the center of the street to get to the street car. It one meets a machine, the result it soiled clothing. Please help us at once. C. H. S. Officials report that this situation is cleared. Dear Mr. Fixit: I wish you would see what you can do toward getting E. TwentySecond St. graded and oiled. Thit is between Olney and Sherman Dr. Part of the street between the points named has deep holes and it very dangerous to drive over. A RESIDENT. Several other complaints have been received on this same district. Men are reported to be working in that direction and will take care of it as soon as they can. Mr. Fixit: Kindly use your influence toward getting Blaine Ave., north of Morris St., scraped and oiled. It is in a terrible condition and is almost impassable, as it has not had any attention for over two years. TIMES READER. This avenue is up for paving. The street department will not be in this region any more this year, they say.
