A Magna Carta for Newspaper Readers This may sound as dry as dust, but it is of first rate imortance to the world in general and to the American public In particular. “There shall be no prefertntial right in official news,” reads a resolution passed by the international press conference at Geneva. “Every newspaper agency, press bureau and correspondent shall have equality of access to and transmission of such news.” This is anew magna carta for mankind the world over, at least for the reading public. It is not likely to revolutionize news distribution bang off, but it is the beginning of the end of an era which had for its slogan, the public be boobed. Many governments, particularly in the old world, are in the habit of monopolizing official news—the doings of the government and responsible officials. They have done so mainly by creating an “official” news agency or by subsidizing otherwise controlling some news agency. Thus they could influence public opinion pretty much any way they liked through the manipulating the news upon which public opinion is based. It is easy to see that such a system can, and often does, lead to the most alarming abuses. International misunderstandings, even wars, become easy by means of this medieval practice of doping public sentiment. Against this state of things the United Press has been waging a stubborn war for years. Now the first stage of the battle, at least, has been won, as indicated by the passage of the above resolution framed by a committee of international journalists, of which Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press, was the American member. The League of Nations, under whose auspices the press conference is being held, will now inform its members of the action taken. And though the league can not force governments to live up to its recommendations, governments which are members must do so if they expect to remain in good standing before the league and before the world. Os course there will be considerable opposition in those countries whose governments have made a habit _ of tricking the public by means of their subsidized news agencies. And, no doubt, there will be evasions or attempts at evasion. But in the end they must play the game as umpired by the league. Not the league, perhaps, but public opinion will ultimately force them all to toe the mark. If news of great public moment is open to all, and the means of news distribution by wireless, telegraph or cable is open without discrimination to all correspondents and agencies alike, the vicious art of coloring news to suit the occasion will soon disappear. The international press conference at Geneva is not getting any eight-column headlines in the papers. But il news were rated according to its ultimate effect on the world’s billion and a half of mankind, they’d probably be getting out extras. Official or government news and the means of distributing it on a basis of absolute equality—this, as anew international policy backed up by the entire world, we repeat, is for newspaper readers anew magna carta. They have a right to the truth. What has just been done at Geneva will help them to get it. This Button and That From Turkey to the Philippines, wherever there are deeds of mercy to be done, the lines of the Red Cross shock troops—the nurses—are there to do them. At her desk in Washington sits the generalissimo of this powerful army of bearers of good will and aid to the suffering. She is Miss Clara D. Noyes, national director of the American Red Cross Nursing Service. Dur'ng the height of the tremendous tasks of the recent Mississippi valley flood disaster, Miss Noyes was asked how such a big work was carried on, and if it didn’t keep her “awfully busy.” “It isn’t so hard,” she said, “just a matter of this button and that. You press the button and things happen.” A button, and there goes a letter to Aintab, Turkey, suggestinjg a way to overcome the natives’ superstition of medicine. Another button, and there goes a bulletin to Constantinople where a school of nursing is being con- ’ ducted in the former harem of a riclv pasha. A button again, and a call goes out to 45,000 nurses in forty-eight States of the Union, a summons to concentrate every resource upon relief of the flood sufferers in the great South. Reports come in from 196 State and local nursing committees throughout the United States. Miss Noyes studies them. There follow suggestions, offlers, changes. Merely vhe pressing of a few more buttons! These buttons that the women are pressing now! And to remember back to a not distant day when -all that women were supposed to know was how to sew them on! Pretty soon the only place to see an Indian chief will be some city hall or Federal building.

(Princeton Dally Democrat.) It Is practically unanimous with the people of Indiana in their opinion, that none of the present state administration officials ever resign and few of them die—while in office—but Charles F. MilNeW Idea ler > State superintendent of public in- . tj i j struction, pulled anew one on both the Os tioia- state and city of Indianapolis. Miller, ing Office It seems, had an idea of holding two jobs and drawing the salary of one—so he claims—and he accepts tne superintendency of school at Indianapolis, still clinging to his place as state superintendent. His defense is that the new position is not a job but one that pays no salary and as a result he has the right to hold on to both c! them. That is the view at present, but any one who can read back of the lines probably sees as Mr. Miller does that his term as state superintendent will be closed following the election in 1928 and he is taking the opportunity of landing a place that will be open when the political Job has been taken from him. Mr. Miller was on the program for the Teachers’ Institute in this section of Indiana during the week and he was so busy trying to hold both of the Jobs that he was not able to fill the one here and sent substitute. The educator sent-to take his place probably filled it with as much satisfaction to the teachers as ML’-Tf could have done and perhaps better, with the weight of two Jobs on his mind. Oovernor Jackson and Miller, it seems, are not agreed who is to be named to take his place and this is causing a lot of trouble. The present state

What Other Editors Think

What the Farmer Knows Federal Farm Loan Commissioner Eugene Meyer isn’t very popular with a great many farmers. , They think he’s too much of a “city feller”; too sympathetic with the viewpoint of Eastern banking interests. . Offhand that seems a little silly. With American agriculture needing some business sense about as much as anything else, it would seem that the farmers ought to admire businessman Meyer, and be hopeful of his leadership. But there are some things about farming which the farmers understand, and which there’s reason to believe Mr. Meyer doesn’t, which contribute to farmer dislike of the loan commissioner. Mr. Meyer recently predicted that this year will see an increase of $1,000,000,000 in the American farm income. That ought to have cheered the farmers much. It seems they should have thanked Meyer for the good news which was broadcasted from coast to coast. But they didn’t. Instead most of them coolly remarked that he didn’t know what he was talking about. And, if the United States department of agriculture is any Judge, he didn’t know exactly. As representatives of the department wisely explain there are two factors which determine the farmer’s income. One is the price he gets for his products. The other is the £ mount he has to sell. High prices at this time of year prove almost nothing about the farmers prosperity. That conclusion must wait until the crops are harvested and sold. At present, according to the agricultural department, it’s impossible to tell how the American farmers will fare this year. There are certain rough indications—some favorable, some unfavorable—but the answer won’t be known with any accuracy for another critical month or six weeks. During that time the farmer will gamble with the weather. And if the weather is good and crops mature well, then there’s the question of the market price. -Before the final returns are in most anything can happen, in the opinion of agriculture department forecasters. The farmers know that, and consequently don’t take kindly to glowing forecasts of an uncertain future. - It represents, they think, an essential misunderstanding of the great gambling game played by the American farmers which doesn’t help in their effort* to have the odds against them reduced. “Let them pass” is to be the slogan in France for the American Legion convention. Might as well be that—they’d pass anyway. Writers are discussing various Jobs for Coolidge after his term ends. It is unreliably reported that several movie firms have offered him handsome contracts to play Westerns. A radio station that planned to broadcast the sounds of an insane asylum abandoned the program, says a dispatch. Guess we’ll have to get along with the jazz bands for a while longer. When and if the sun explodes we vJill have 138 hours more to live, according to an astronomer. That’ll be a good time to pay your debts, boys. Well, maybe the non-stop bug has bitten the President, too. Sanitariums are places where people who are run down wind up. if The girls used to apply irons to shirt fronts. Now they use them on the links.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

A '.nan bought securities from a corporation. He Became very much dissatisfied with his investment and wanted to get his money back. He discovered that the corporation had failed to make reports to the State corporation commission, as required by law, before seliin/securities in the State. On that ground he contended that the sale of the securities was illegal and asked a court order which would permit him to get his money back The corporation which had sold the securities con l ended that its failure to make reports required by the corporation commission involved a question to be settled between the corporation and the commission, and that failure to make the reports was not a valid ground for a court order requiring return to the purchaser of money paid for the stock. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Michigan decided that the man was not entitled to recover the money paid for the stock. It said that the question of the corporation’s reports to the corporation commission was one of commission concern only, and not that of a purchaser of stock.

administration is endeavoring to handle things so that they will perpetuate in office a sufficient number of men that will insure no inquisitive muddling with the records of the past. „ it would be a fine thing if these men could perpetuate themselves in office, but the voters are going to have something to say about that at the election. In the meantime, Attorney General Gilliom has been afforded another opportunty to get in the limelight again and he has given an opinion that no member of this state administration can hold two jobs at the same time—there are too' many who would like to have the thing divided up—and it W now up to the Governor to make an appointment.. (ANDERSON BULLETIN) Washington dispatches say ex-Governor Warren T. McCray will be paroled from the Federal prison at Atlanta one week from today. He has served his minimum time and is eligible for parole unMcCray dwihe law. p There is one particular reason which to tSe has raised McCray in the esteem of Paroled Indianians and which has gained wide support for a proposal for his parole. It is the report of his quick and absolute refusal to accept the alleged offering of the then Secretary of State Ed Jackson of financial and legal help, if he would name a certain prosecuting attorney for Marion County. If McCray did that, he is not the worst man that ever lived. A parole will let him be free to talk, without fear or expected favor. The people of Indiana want to know the facts about the alleged offer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: Our Ability to Make and Do Things Depends on Our Ability to Preserve and Exchange Ideas.

The allied army in the Rhineland has been reduced from 70,000 to 60,000 men. England proposed a great reduction, but France would not stand for it. . Lord Cecil is reported to have said that France’s attitude was an outrage on the spirit of Locarno, which guarantees her security, and that the army of occupation should not only be reduced, but wiped out. If France ©aid the bill for maining this army she might be hiore amenable to Lord Cecil’s view, but that is a burden for Germany to bear, and France is not in a mood to lighten it, though) she could easily get bigger reparation payments by doing so. Bigger reparation payments would make it easier for her to take care of the American debt. Man Still Very Weak \ After eleven days of fruitless effort, the Pwiflc search is abandoned. It seems incredible that no trace of three airplanes, five men and one woman should have been found. Certaihly no one expected such a barren result when the search began. Man Is still very small, very weak and very Insignificant in spite of all his mechanical triumphs. Individually, he has not grown In strength or stature. His progress rests on the fact that he has learned how to accumulate ideas and profit by cooperative work. Set him apart on a desert island, drop him in the sea or deprive him of air for five minutes and he becomes the same kind of a helpless animal he was 10,000 years ago. Use Idea as Warehouse Our ability to do things rests on our ability to live together, be orderly and to act in concert. Education consists in going to a warehouse and borrowing what other men have learned. Efficiency consists in putting what we have borrowed to good use. The world made little headway in gaining knowledge until men were able to preserve and exchange ideas. For this reason the alphabet has been described as the greatest invention ever made. Buried in Deep Well Fred Leneau of Auburn, Mass., was buried at the bottom of a fortyfoot well last Thursday night beneath a mass of rock, dirt, rubbish and timber. The only tiling that prevented him from being killed immediately was the way tli6* timber lodged. The only thing that prevented him from being killed eventually was the devices and contrivances men have invented, coupled with a disposition to help each other. If it had not been for a garden hose, he would have died for lack of oxygen. Learn Wisdom of Helping Even such a simple thing as a garden hose has a long genealogy. Its beginnings are to be found on the rubber plantation and cotton patch, and its development is to be traced through a multitude of machines and processes. Our ability to make and do things rests on our ability to preserve and exchange ideas. By preserving and exchanging ideas, we have learned the wisdom of helping and protecting each other. When Leneau was brought to the surface after thirty hours of heartbreaking effort, 10,000 people sent up a cheer. That cheer was born of the same kind of intellectual development as the garden hose. The cave man had no pity because he had no intelligence. Cultivated, Sympathetic Those who can do things for people generally want to. That is why science a:*d philanthropy go hand in hand. We did not have great hospitals until we had good doctors, and we did not have orphan asylums until we learned the necessity of training and educating children. The cultivated mind is invariably the sympathetic mind. High ideals just do not exist in the jungle, though some people seem to think so.

Science Aids Justice Last week Nebraska officers arrested Peter John, a gypsy, on the charge of kidnaping a 2-year-old girl. Both he and his wife protested their innocence claiming that the child was theirs. The law called science to its assistance, a blood test was made, and their claim was established. Justice, like other ideals, depends on intelligence. No matter how much ignorant men may want to be just, they can never be so sure as those who halve the advantage of modem knowledge. Even Animals Benefit Jocko, a New Jersey monkey, was accused of having: swallowed a S6OO diamond ring. Circumstances were against him, but for the intervention of science, he might have been subjected to heroic treatment, or, perhaps, lost his life. Science, however, makes it possible for us to be Just to dumb ‘animals. Jocko was X-rayed and exonerated, the pictures proving that he had swallowed nothing more valuable than a common collar but-

A Great Comedian Drummer Helps Make Waring’s Pennsylvanians the Best Band Yet at the Circle

The talk of the town this week is going to be a group of young men of various ages who are banded together for the purpose of making the air a wee bit warmer. Am trying to tell you that Waring’s Pennsylvanians are here in person at the Circle, and, if I am not all wrong, they are going to be the talk of the

town. And how! My verdict on this orchestra is that it is by far the best band that the Circle has presented this summer. And for combined entertaining ability this orchestra ranks side by side with Paul Whiteman and his organization. For pure showmanship Fred Waring and his outfit stand

' < ,

Billie Dove

right at the top of the list. There are many rea- ! sons for this. There is one comedian in this outfit, and he is the drummer. He has* rare ability on the drums, and in addition to that he is a comedian of striking and original personality. He has many tricks, and they are all legitimate and are blended into the entire fabric of the organization in such a way that he never appears to be forcing his comedy. The trouble with so many bands is that all of the members attempt to be comedians when they would look better as pallbearers at the funeral of King Comedy. Not so with the Warings. The comedy work of this one member is so refreshing, so clean and yet so legitimate a part of the whole proceedings that his efforts only increase the individual value of the entire band. This band is blessed with arrangements of musical scores that are masterpieces. Study for example the way that Fred Waring directs his orchestra through “Ain’t She Sweet.’’ He makes this wtll known number blossom out In.’ a new flower. Here is a treat *.i magnificent. * Another example of the same article is the way they play a concert arrangement of “At Sundown.” Then for delightful melody we have "Sing Me a Baby Song” and the ballad solo of Tom Waring, “Way Back When.” There are many other numbers on their lengthy program. When I was present yesterday, this orchestra received an ovation which called for one encore after another. This is the eleventh anniversary week program of the Circle and the movie feature is Billie Dove in “The Stolen Bride.” a story with many of its scenes placed in Hungary when royalty was royalty and then some. This type of a picture to me is comfortable romance, beautifully mounted, nicely acted with that pomp and splendor which is supposed to be associated with royalty when they are actually working on the Job. The central figure is a beautiful princess who loves a peasant lad. She decides to “get her man” and she does, although her noble papa and others of the family are not on her side. ... , Miss Dove makes a beautiful princess, in fact, a mighty grand but human edition of such ladies.

Movie Verdict CIRCLE Waring's Pennsylvanians will be the talk of the town this week. The best orchestra this house has presented this season. OHlO—Conway Tearle has a melodramatic vehicle in “Moulders of Men.” INDIANA—The Eight Victor Artists have a program of rare charm. The movie, “The Heart of Maryland" has been wisely directed. APOLLO—Norma Shearer is still the beauty in “After Midnight,” a movie. COLONIAL —The DempseySharkey fight remains on view

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

This woman knows how to wear gowns. Sne i.i a number of warm love scenes with Lloyd Hughes, who overacts most of the time as usual. But I am sure that you will enjoy this romance of other days in Hungary. I did and admit it. The bill includes a news reel, a fable, Topics of the Day and other events. At the Circle all week. NORMA SHEARER TAKES LEAD IN APOLLO MOVIE “After Midnight,” a drama of the theatrical district of New York, is written and directed by Monta Bell, a former newspaper man who is said to know his subject thoroughly. It is the story of the butterfly who finally blossoms forth from her ugly cocoon. But she would return to the cocoon after a taste of life. Norma Shearer plays the part cf the drab girl who hasn’t the taste for night life that

her golddigging sister has. Gwen Lee is cast as the chorus-girl sister who is always broke and borrowing a five or a ten from the little cigarette girl. “Mary” meets a crook who insists that rowing a five or who insists that he sell her a piece of lead pipe and who gets it back when he isn’t looking. Lawrence Grey

IP * Norma Shearer

plays Joe, who tries to go straight for the love of Mary. The treatment of the story is some different from the usual run of such pictures in tljat it does not try to make all girls who are on the “great white way” seem hard and sophisticated. A bit of the real life of the girls is shown which is a touch on the part of Director Bell. The picture is gorgeously costumed and the sets are of a great magnificence. The different types of life as they are lived in such a close prximity are portrayed with ’ clearity and magnificence. In this, “After Midnight,” the lily has it been gilded. There was no need. A Mack Sennet comedy, “The Golf Nut,” a news real and Earl Gordon at the organ in a novelty number, comprise the bill. At the Apollo all week.—(By the Observer). MELODRAMA ON VIEW AT THE OHIO Waging a relentless war on the sale and on the dealers of narcotics, a wealthy physician comes in contact with a crippled boy, the brother of a man whom he has just convicted. Conway Tearle is an ideal selection for the part of the doctor who has-put his all into the war on the

“dope” dng. The story gives him a chance to play the i part of a man with much magnamity. Frank Darro, the 8-year-1 old actor in the piece, deserves a great deal of praise. The part of a cripple is not an easy one, but he does it with the artistry of one who has made it a life study.

*W'

Margaret Morris Conway Tearle plays opposite Tearle as the newspaper writer who was sent to get her story, and she finally does. But what a story. Rex Lease is cast as the gangster brother who gets into so much trouble. His parts are highly emotional, but he does it with the air of one who has only one soft spot in his heart, and that for the crippled brother. The chase and subsequent capture of the gang is highly sensational and a very exciting climax is reached. The interest is aroused in the very first and held through the story. It ia one of the best .j. ■ ‘ L Ajgißu

vehicles that Tearle has had in many a day. A comedy news reel completes the film presentation while Ruth Noller offers a musical program at the Ohio organ. At the Ohio Theater all week.— (By the Obesrver). VICTOR ARTISTS TOP EVENTS AT THE INDIANA One of the toughest jobs in the world is to so disguise a quartet so it will not look like one.

This job has been tackled often in | the big revues, and now we see another attempt this week on the stage I of the Indiana. | The result is highly satisfactory. This happens during the presentation of the Eight Victor Artists. Four of them ! compose what is | known as the i Peerless Quartet, j one is a splendid i pianist, another is xylophone expert, another a mono-

.Dolores Costello

logue winner known on the records as “Cohen,” and another is both a singer and a sort of a master of ceremonies. The program offered has class and merit as well as general appeal. Their program is wellbalanced. The work of the quartet, especially in the spiritual number, has that quality which registers with the greatest popular ease. James Stanley, while singing his solo, “The Blind Plowman,” displays a voice of grest beauty. Henry Burr receives an ovation every time that he walks upon the stage, and so it is to be expected that he stops the act with his tenor solos. Billy Murray has a comedy song of novelty. It is called “Whisper Song.” Here is a Publix presentation which is different. The movie feature, “The Heart of Maryland,” will appeal to those who have both heard cf Mrs. Leslie Carter in the role as well as to those who saw her play Maryland Calvert over thirty years ago. So as not to confuse you, Mrs. Carter is not in the movie version. Mrs. Carter has aged, and it would be some Job for her to hang onto the clapper of a church bell so as to prevent an alarm being given. Dolores Costello is the Maryland Calvert in the movie, and she does a beautiful job of it. The entire action of the story takes place just prior to the Civil War and during the time of that struggle. The director has wisely refrained from any battle scenes and the story hinges together in a neat manner. It is necessary that both the heart interest and suspense be kept going all the time and the director has accomplished both items. Charles Edward Bull plays the role of Abraham Lincoln. Test Dalton, an Indianapolis writer and an authority on Lincoln as applied to the stage, has often told me that he considered Bull as the most accurate of the Lincoln’s from the standpoint of make-up. I believe Dalton’s verdict regarding Bull. The bill includes an overture by the Indiana Symphonic Orchestra; organ solo by Maurice Cook, a news reel and other events. At the Indiana all week. Other theaters today offer: “The Ghost Train,” at English’s; “In Love With Love,” at Keith’s: Dempsey and Sharkey fight at the Colonial; Gladys Delmar and Boys at the Lyric; burlesque at the Mutual and “The Desert Toll” at the Isis.

Why the Weather?

By Charles Fltzhugh Talman Authority on Meteorology

DAYTIME PHOTOGRAPHS OF LIGHTNING Nearly all photographs of light* ningare taken at night. The shutter of the camera is simply open until a flash occurs and is then closed. If the flash happens to be in the field of the camera its image will be registered on the plate. Cassell’s “Cyclopaedia of Photoggraphy,” published in 1911, says: "Lightning cannot be photographed during the daytime, as, however dark the sky it, the sun is behind it and actinic enough to have an action on the dry plate and make the flash invisible.” A year after the above statement was published it was proved to be erroneous by Mr. A. Steadworthy, of the Dominion Observatory tJi Ottama, Canada. On July 10, 1912, in the middle of the afternoon, ha took several excellent photographs of lightning. He used a combination of aperture and plate that, with the amount of daylight prevailing at the time, would have required six seconds to photograph the landscape. If he had given his pictures this exposure the daylight would have obliterated the image of any; lightning flash occurring during the interval. He therefore exposed a number of plates about the time ha judged, from the average frequency of flashes, that one was likely taL occur, and gave each picture ail exposure of only two seconds. OF seventeen plates, three showed pictures of lightning equal in quality to the average photograph taken a(j night. All rights reserved by Science Service, lne<
