" SOU PPS- HOWARD

Our Visitors Gathering to celebrate seventy-five years of usefulness, the members of the Typographical Union now in session in this city have much to remember with pride. \ Organized as a movement of protest, this organization has evolved into an agency of conservation. It came into beirfg as a matter of necessity. It was formed because the men who engaged in this craft found their living conditions and their w%e in constant warfare. They stood together for justice to themselves and in protest against working conditions and wages which did not permit them to live in self respect. That they have been for years in the front rank of every movement that stood for a higher standard of living, for conditions which extend to much more than higher wage, is responsible for the continued growth and strength of this organization. This organization has been no unimportant \ factor in the necessary readjustments that came with industrial expansion and the change in this nation from agriculture to industry. By influence and example and leadership it has had much to do with making this the envied nation of the world.. It has stood the test of time because it has held to the American spii’it and helped to maintain it.

Back to the Simple Life Give this little town a hand. Two months ago Annapolis decided it needed a nice set of stop-and-go traffic lights. It just had to be like other American cities, and weren’t they all installing the things? Why, a town wasn’t a town any more unless it had its streets—or street—lighted up day and night like a Christmas tree. So in went the pretty green and red lights, at a total cost of $1,200. And for a while Annapolis was very proud and happy. Maybe there wasn’t much traffic along the historic street which George Washington once traveled to resign his general’s commission, but at least there were traffic lights, and wasn't that the next best thing? But suddenly things have changed. A petition signed by forty business men has just been presented to the city council asking that the eight lights be abolished as soon as possible. The business men want Annapolis to be only its old fashioned charming self. It will be something of a blow to the traffic light salesman, but the whole thing is rather encouraging. Rich and Poor Not In all the history of man has there been wealth to compare with America’s today. Even Rome, and a world paying tribute, couJG offer no epoch to compare. While the Federal Reserve Banks cut rediscount rates, making money still easier to get, the Nation's great corporations report earnings beyond the wildest dreams of investors and millionaires pile up on the ipcome sheets in a fabulous phalanx of pomp and power. Wealth has literally grown so great that its owners know not what to do, and there are mergers and rumors of mergers, one corporation investing its surplus earnings into another, and, tl\e surplus grown thus even larger, into still another, until the Nation faces the prospect of all industry locked in a mad, frantic dance with itself. But out of comes another kind of picture. Several million laborers, scattered throughout industry, are receiving wages so low, the Labor Department announces, as to constitute a moral and economic peril. ** Thousands are being forced to live and support families on wages rangnig from $10.34 to $29.42 a week. “Morally, economically and on the grounds of simple humanity,” asserts Secretary of Labor Davis, "this inequality should not be allowed to exist in this richest nation of history.” He is right. Industry can, perhaps, be excused from the duty of worrying about the farmer, whose economic plight is even worse, but industry cannot, be excused from the duty of caring for Its own.

(Greensburgr Times) Governor Jackson announces that he will make a statement concerning the charges published in The Indianapolis Times “when it is necessary.” To us folks back here in the sticks Now ~ seems that the time for a statement . is long past due. When we find a man IS trie under charges of impugning his charTime acter, his veracity, his honesty and his * manhood, chasing over the country to conventions and other affairs while such charges stand unanswered, we naturally conclude that he as guilty as Cain. Down South whence the writer came, the newspaper making such charges is called to account immediately or sooner if the charges can’t be proven. If they are true, it is time for th 6 one accused to close up shop and make a noise like a clam: Governor Jackson has for the first time in life joined the clam order. He says he will talk when it it necessary. It appears to some that it is necessary to do some immediately talking when a responsible newspaper produces such damnable charges with such conclusive e'vidence behind them—unless, of course, the charges are true. (Covincton Republican) Developments among the leaders of the Republican party surely require a handing back of authority and leadership of same to old and tried hands, which % in the days of Morton and Mount had Principles control of the party reins. Must Control under Goodrich, McCray and Jackson, with those surrounding them Prevail who dominated, has surely brought humiliation and disgust to thousands of loyal Republicans and honest party workers over

What Other Editors Think

We Honor Ourselves The people of this city today honor themselves as they gather to welcome its greatest of young Americans, For that welcome is much more than praise to a daring youth. It is the expression of deep seated and ineradicable belief in the traits of character that made this nation a nation. His was the spirit of the pioneer when he risked the unknown that new worlds might be conquered. The tribute that is given generously and eagerly goes not to the act of a mad youth who accomplished the apparently impossible in a moment of recklessness. Lindbergh is the national hero because he. possesses to a very great degree those traits of character which this country has learned to reverence in all its heroes of the past. He has courage, the courage of the pioneer. He has the modesty of greatness. He has above all deep interest in accomplishment undimned by thought of personal gain or fortune. When he withstood the temptation to become kin to every freak, competitor with every vaudeville sensation, brother to the notorious, lie fixed his place eternally in the hearts of his countrymen. It is because this nation still has reverence for the sturdiness of character of those who founded it that it can and does appreciate a Lindbergh. This national idol does not need and perhaps cares little for the popular applause that is his. This nation does need and fortunately lias so firmly fixed in its national consciousness a reverence for all that he means that it honors itself while it pays its tribute. From the skies he signals to all that is glorious in the past and points to all that may be more glorious in the future. No tribute, save that of rededication to all that Lindbergh signifies, is adequate.

Tyranny: Roman And Muscovite So far as brutal tyranny and murderous assault on liberty are concerned there is little difference between Fascist Italy and Soviet Russia; and just why Uncle Sam should be chummy with one and refuse to speak to the other is something difficult to understand. A copyrighted wireless to the New York Times from Rome tells of the punishment there of Mario Chiossone for inversely criticising the Fascist Government here in the United States. Chiossone emigrated to this country, was arrested in Boston and sent back to Italy by our government. He appealed to Secretary of Labor Davis not to send him back to Italy because he feared the Fascist Government would punish him with death for his political invites here. His letter to Davis was the chief evidence against him in his trial in Italy. Whilq the poor devil was evidently scared stiff and retracted everything he had said over here, it didn’t help him. Mussolini’s State prosecutor said he had mixed with the anti-Fascist elements in America and had carried on active propaganda against Fascism. Anyhow, he was found guilty of spreading false reports about Italy and of offenses against Fascismo and Mussolini, and got twelve years, six months and twelve days, with three years after that of special police control. Our government may find some consolation in the fact that instead of killing Chiossone for what he said and did over here, the Fascist Government gave him merely twelve years or so in prison. If they continue increasing the size of these touring buses, locomotives will have to N cross crossings cautiously. In this day of labor-saving devices, why doesn't . someone invent a note that will renew itself? Statistics say women spend $40,000,000 a year on beauty aids, and it doesn’t seem half enough. We have many clean-sweeps in baseball, but few on the fronirfhorch.

the State, who have almost ceased to respect the name. When open violation of official oath, the requirement of good citizenship, which engender a flagrant disregard of law, even going so far as to promulgate laws framed and passed to enable them to carry out MieTr nefarious purposes, it is indeed time for the rank and file to assert themselves, call a conference and clean its skirts that have been dragged through the mire. , When such men have been elevated to leadership, to management and to office, some of them from our own midst, either by election or appointment, it is time for the people to speak—the party to clean house, reorganize, or suffer inevitable defeat. We can but believe that the Republican party, our beloved party,. can and will be able to purify itself in reorganization and convention, and return eg the principles which gave it birth, and for which it has so long stood as a stone wall against the arts of the enemy. If it fails to do so, it must give place to another which stands for truthful, honest government in and out of office. If its doom is spelled it will be because of inward corruption. (Michigan City Dispatch) Governor Jackson has broken his silence on the Stephenson charges sufficient to say that “if the time ever comes when- it is necessary to Will Speak issue a statement, I will issue one, of When course. So far I’ve been paying no ativ lien tention to the newspapers.” This latNecessary ter remark has reference to the Indianapolis News and Times, as both papers have demanded that the Governor either deny the Stephenson charges or resign. He will be forced to do something sooner or later.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: It Is Much Easier to Understand How c Lindbergh Could Fly Across the Ocean Than How Some of Our Business Men Attain Their Success.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 9.—Few people realize what a stupendous part the Great Lakes have played in the development of America. They form an easy and convenient high road without which the resources of a vast area could never have been exploited with such rapidity. Their coasts bristle with chimneys, their shipping outranks that of many an ocean and their ports are among the most important in the world. More Vessels pass through Sue St. Marie than through the Panama canal. Buffalo, Cleveland. Toledo, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee are children of the lakes. Slipping Center Toledo is situated at the head of a long, deep harbor near the western end of Lake Erie. Sixty miles to the north is Detroit and 150 miles to the east is Cleveland, with Sandusky in between. Here come shiploads of ore out of the Northwest to be loaded on cars here come trainloads of coal from for furnaces to the southeast, and the Southeast to be loaded on ships for lake ports. More of the coal and ore ought to stop in Toledo. There ought to be more furnaces, more manufacturing establishments, more of the raw material leaving town in finished' form. The mere handling of freight j never made a great city, and never will. What Citizens Say Toledo is much interested in the proposed St. Lawrence waterway; also in what is called the “Chicago water steal.” They take you out to the shore of the lake, show you how the level has settled a couple of feet in recent years, and ask what will happen if Chicago is allowed to go on. They they talk of ships direct from England and Europe, pointing out the advantages that would come not only to Toledo, but to other lake ports if a deep channel were opened to the sea. No Chance for Row Like many another gigantic project which we could take up with profit, the St. Lawrence waterway has failed as yet to arouse public interest. Perhaps this is because it offers little opportunity for a row. We are ready enough to go down in our pockets for battle and bloodshed, but we have not arrived at a point yet where we can think of constructive work in terms of billions of dollars without getting cold feet. The St. Lawrence waterway would not cost 3 per cent of what we were qpiy too glad to expend in the World War. Neither would control of the Mississippi or another Isthmian Canal. But while we were glad enough to put up forty billion dollars to lick the Kaiser, we cannot see the wisdom of putting up one billion for such prosaic enterprises. Automobile Makers One-third of Toledo's population depends on the automobile business. Here is located not only the great Willys-Overland plant, but a goodsized Chevrolet factory. Here, too, are made Champion spark plugs, Tillotson carburetors and Mather springs. There are glass factories, to be sure, oil refineries and other large manufacturing establishments, but the automobile and kindred industries overtop all else.

business Miracles I went through part of the WillysOverland plant on Monday, spending fiVe hours, walking ten or a dozen miles, and seeing some of the high spots. This is not the largest plant of its kind, but it is large enough to leave the visitor completely bewildered. You just cannot take in the work of 12,000 men operating on a floor space of 120 acres in a single day. When you remember that only about 5 per cent of the automobiles are made here, you stand aghast at the proportions the industry has attained. The pay roll of the Willys-Over-land plant amounts to $25,000,000 annually. How could a man who was running a small agency in a small town twenty-five years ago, and who was practically flat on his back four years ago, build up such an institution and keep it going? It is much easier to understand how a Lindbergh could fly across the ocean than how some of our business men attain their success. Filling Up Canal Toledo furnishes a graphic example of how transportation has been revolutionized. Fifty years ago the town looked upon the old Miami-Erie canal as nothing less than a guarantee of its future. This . canal, running straight across the State, connected Toledo harbor with the Ohio River. Garfield once worked on it as a tow boy. Now they are going-to fill it up and make a great boulevard for automobiles. Rubber tires and combustion engines, not to mention the railroads, have inspired us to abandon water transportation wherever we can. One wonders whether this is a mistake, whither we shall lose more through the consumption of fuel than we gain in time.

Elizabeth Patterson as Ma Fisher Finds Out Just How Many Noughts in Hundred Thousand Dollars BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Ma Fisher had to ask her son, Joe, just how many noughts there were in a hundred thousand dollars. And Joe drew a picture for ma of SIOO,OOO and then Ma was able to tell the rest of the familjl just how much a hundred thousand really is. Am just trying to tell you about one of the little human moments

in _“The ShowOff” as played by Elizabeth Patterson as Ma Fisher and by Harry Ellerbe as Joe. As Ma Fisher in this “t ran sc r ipt of life,” Miss Patterson as a role in which she is just as much a riot as "she was as Mrs. Man and e 1 h a rper some seasons ago. The fact is, that the “show-off” in this comedy is the big noise, but Miss Patterson, by that dry artistry which

Elizabeth Patterson

she uses so well, actually walks off with most of the applause in “The “Show-Off.” I have seen Miss Patterson in “Charm,” when she was on tour in Cincinnati, and I know we will have a treat when she does it here under the Stuart Walker banner. 4nd yet, Miss Patterson is giving us this week such a human and at the same time such an unforgettable performance that her “Ma Fisher” will always be associated with her name. It is the most sympathetic and at the same time the most funny characterization that Miss Pattereon has given Indianapolis since I have been telling you about plays. The truth is that Aubrey Piper, the “show-off,” is really not the type of a role in which McKay Morris shows up to the best advantage, but he is giving a performance this week which shows that he can play about any type in which he is interested. Aubrey is a mess and he must stay a “mess” from the time his laugh is heard off stage until you see him swell up as he asks his wife for the financial page of the evening paper. A hard characterization to do, Morris, but careful study and sincerity has eliminated many of the difficulties for him. Adelaide Chase is a good Clara, who loves to talk * about love although she is married. Ernest Cossart looks the part of Pa Fisher Others in the cast include France Bendtsen. Ernest Poe, Paul Wright and Muriel Kirkland, who does Amy, the wife of the "show-off” with that needed touch of understanding. But you will agree with me, I am sure, that Miss Patterson is at her best as Ma Fisher. At Keith’s all week.

A GOOD COMEDY BILL AT THE LYRIC When it comes to singing the “blues” there is nothing like a rich contralto voice to put it over in the right manner. Miss Lee Morse possesses that certain quality of voice that makes what few real “dirt” singers there are successful. The negro race has as one of its characteristics the nack of combining notes in order to obtain a weird effect. Miss Morse has a range of voice that enables her to emphasize to a marked degree the “blue” r - feet. She is billed as the “Southern Aristocrat of Song,” and we certainly want to hand it to her for living up to the name, for she is hard to beat. Classical dancing has again come to the fore on the vaudeville stage. Olga and Mishka dance two numbers, one a classical and the oth6r a modern interpretation of the waltz. They carry with them their own orchestra which, strangely enough, is composed of two violins, a bass viol, a ’cello and piano. This accompaniment lends an air to the performance that lifts it from the common to teh ideal. The Reiff-Murtay trio, having been absent from the city for some time plays a return engagement. This trio sings a number of novelty

Sams Ace in the Hole

songs and all through the program the commedian of the act keeps breaking into the song that is being sung into one that has proceeded it. After several attempts it gets very funny for the words match up and give the strain a meaning that is entirely different from the one the author intended it to have. Appropriately enough a solo by one of the members of the trio is the song written in commemoration of Colonel Lindbergh and titled "Lucky Lindy.” Starting the bill this week at the Lyric is Kluting's Entertainers; an animal act. The act compossed of dogs, cats, birds and even a rabbit do a number of tricks on a raised platform. Concluding the act three cats are sent aloft in a balloon and the pidgons roost on the basket as it swings with its feline cargo. Two girls who compete with each other to see which is the best vamp are Baker and Grey. They have some new jokes and several songs that are new to Indianapolis. The majority of the laughs come from the “gags“ that they pull about themselves. It is a good comedy act and goes across to the audience in good style. Stanley and Quinet have a presentation that deals with a young man, who runs a book store and a girl, who “has a book.” Their comedy is fast and good, while their dancing makes a decided hit. They don’t make-euch a bad duo when it come to the popular songs either. Closing the performance are the Four Bradnas. You never know what they are going to do next. They combine tumbling, hat throwing, and good old clowning in such a way that every body goes home in a good humor and laughing. The closing stunt is a novelty idea of a flamp is newt to the local theatergoing public. News* reels and comedies conclude the program at the Lyric this week. (By the Observer.)

Stage Verdict LYRIC—A good comedy -bill with Miss Lee Morse jumping into first place. ENGLISH'S “Stop Thief.” an elderly and noisy farce, re- - turns. KEITH’S Miss Elizabeth Patterson as Ma Fisher is giving this city her most human and at the same time her most funny characterization in ‘ The Show-Off.” Fine fun.

AN ELDERLY FARCE SHOWS UP AGAIN HERE Age will tell even in a play some time. Those were my thoughts after seeing the Berkell Players in “Stop Thief.” Some years ago this farce was regarded as quite a hit and it has

been used all over the country by stock companies. And yet the other nights on seeing it after several years I had the feeling that if “Stop Thief” was presented today for the first time that it wouldn't have much of a chance. Personally, I have never been enthusiastic over this farce as a play. It is a good deal like the

saying, "button, button, who has the button?” None of the characters act like human beings. The situations are, of course, highly improbable because no family could be quite as silly as those who operate under the Carr roof. Most of the action rests in the hands of Milton Byron as the crook who masquerades as a detective or anybody else when it is necessary. Idabelle Arnold as Nell has a role which gives her absolutely no chance at comedy situations which have made her famous as a funmaker on the stage in this city. J. F.

Why the Weather?

By Charlai FUzhugh Talman Authority on Meteorology

WIGGINS Sensational long range weather forecasters are no novelty. Thera has hardly been a time, these fifty years past, when one of them at least was not basking in the sunshine of public renown. Sometimes there are three or four major prophets upon the stage at once, and there are always plenty of small fry. In the eighties of the last century the most famous weather prophet was “Professor” Wiggins, who vaticinated from Canada. l ike many before him, Wiggins based his predictions upon the moon, but unlike any others, before or since, he utilized a private moon of his own invention, in addition to the old-fash-ioned satellite with which astronomers and lovers arc so familiar. Wiggins specialized in predicting disastrous storms. In November, 1882, he addressed a letter to the President of the United States, announcing a terrible tempest for March 11, 188$, and advising that all ships be kspt in port on that date. This letter stirred up so much excitement that the Chief Signal Officer of the United States Army, General Hazen, felt called upon to publish a statement in the newspapers, in which the impossibility, of foretelling storms months in advance was pointed out. To this the prophet retorted with a letter, also published in the newspapers, in which he accused the signal service of stealing some of his storm predictions. In May* 1884. Wiggins announced that he had discovered the “period” of the storm known as “Saxby’s gale,” which swept over eastern Canada in October, 1869, and that this storm would return, as the greatest of the century, on Septembm- 19, 1887. The weather proved to be exceptionally calm on that day on both sides of the Atlantic and over the ocean. The prophet ceased to be heard from in 1888. (All rights reserved by Science Service, Inc.)

Mr. Fixit Explains Operation of New Sewer System.

Mr. Fixit, The Times reporter at city hall, will be glad to present your complaints to city officials. Letters must bear writer's name and address. Names will not be published. Mr. Fixit: Somehow I gained the impression that all the sewago emptied into the new sewers, instead of into White River, but I have found an open sewer about forty feet south of W. Raymond St., and another and much larger ono emptying into the river Just north of the Belt Railroad. It seems to me that this is in violation of the law and absolutely unnecessary inasmuch as these sewers are within three blocks of the main sewer and could easily be connected. Pletsa give me your opinion on the matter. F. A. O. CITIZEN. The city engineer says these sewers carry only seepage and surface waters, not sewage. Mr. Fixit: I would like to call your attention to a dangerous drive at the alley on N. Jefferson Ave. Just south of Nolan Ave., in the 1300 block, there is an obstruction of trees and shrubs. Also the weeds and shrubs" spread over the sidewalk, making it almost impassable in wet weather. Just a look will convince you of the danger at the corner. Autos come together there frequently. A TIMES READER. Officials of the street department have promised to take care of this immediately. Mr. Fixit: If you didn’t get to take up my request for a fire alarm for New York and Meridian Sts. with the safety board last week, make sure to take it *ip with the board at its next meeting. In case of a five at this corner, no one can see the nearest lilarm. This is serious. You go to this corner and sea if you can see the nearest fire alarm. No one can. . p. j Your complaint was girn to the safety board.
