A Sincere Crusader

Few men have left so deep a mark upon the times in which they lived as did Wayne Wheeler, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, who died yesterday. He was more than lawyer for this organizat ion. He contributed the political genius which translated enthusiasms into action and purposes into laws. Time will tell whether he wrought well 6r was a mistaken idealist whose success defeated his own purposes. But not even his harshest critic will deny him that greatest of all human traits of character, a deep and unfaltering sincerity. He was a crusader before he was a lawyer. In the days at Oberlin College when the AntiSaloon League was in its infancy it caught hi3 imagination and his fancy. He devoted his life to its service and his later study of the law at the Western Reserve Law School had for its definite object the service of the league and its cause. His fellow students might have pondered to what use they could put their knowledge of law. Wheeler knew. He announced that he believed that the league to be practical should have someone in its organization who knew the laws and principles of laws, and need not be at the mercy of those whose sympathies might not be altogether unmixed. It was Wheeler who changed, slowly but surely, the original purpose of the league to make the nation dry through local legislation to the larger program of national prohibition. Trained in the Ohio school of politics, he was a genius for organization and his work and his counsel were largely responsible for the success in obtaining the legislation he desired. He had but one purpose. He sincerely believed that alcohol was responsible for all other evils. He wrote the law which made its sale illegal, lie stood guard against any change in the law he had secured. Ilk monetary rewards were not in' keeping with the ability, sincerity and hard work he gave. But he did bring to himself a power in . national affairs that was second hardly to that of the President himself. Greetings to M. Claudel Having visited with us a little while on his way to Paris from his old post in Tokio, the new French ambassador to the United States, M. Paul Claudel, has returned to Washington to stay. ' To M. Claudel this and twenty-five other ScrippsHoward newspapers published in as many cities from New York to San Diego, extend a sort of national greeting. In so doing, we will presume, if we may, to offer a few reflections in the hope of contributing just a mite toward an urgently needed better understanding between the people of America and the people of Prance. As governments. France and the United States understand each other fairly well, even if they do not agree. But the peoples of the two countries do not seem to understand each other at all. Which is why, Mr. Ambassador, we sincerely hope you will make yourself at home among us, not merely as the French government’s diplomatic representative at the seat of the American government, but the ambassador of the French people to our people. If you will do that, the American people will feel In position to ask of you a great favor. They would be everlastingly grateful if in some way you could help your people to understand them, even if ever so little. Your distinguished predecessor in this country, the lenator and ambassador, Henry Berenger, once said that the people of France always picture Americans in one of two ways. Either they see them as idealistically, as all Washingtons, Franklins and Jeffer30ns, or contemptuously as shylocks and barbarians. The truth is, of course, Americans are probably somewhere in between.) Neither devils nor angels, we’d say they are just regular human beings, with human faults and human virtues, but, we would add, they are -cursed—or blessed, as one prefers—with more than their share of sentimentality. Sentiment, we would say if asked, is the key to the American character; not money madness, as so many Europeans believe, but plain, old-fashioned sentiment. A little blarney and we are ready to give the shirts off our backs. Anger us, rub us the wrong way, and w can be as hard as nails and as stubborn as army mules. “He who does not realize, or refuses to realize, that the American man of affairs is completed by the idealist, will never understand the American of today.’’ so Snator Berenger said, and he was right. “The American plants his feet firmly in reality, but his

wings carry him far into idealism,” and again he said: “We must not allocate to ourselves all the merits of idealism and chivalry, leaving for the Americans only imputations of materialism and meanness, for this would be the grossest and most dangerous mistake which the French of today could make.’’ Make the people of France see us, Mr. Ambassador, just as we are. Do so, and they, and we and Ihe world will be your everlasting debtors. Tell them that we are neither of heaven nor hell, but of the earth; that we are honest-to-goodness people like themselves; that we have a few spiritual qualities mixed in with the material. Tell them that when we read of Americans being attacked In the streets of Paris, we become humanly hot under the collar, but that the reverse of this picture is also true; a wave of good feeling swept the country for their splendid reception to Lindbergh. Sentiment: That is the key to our character. Use that key and relations between France and America will get better and better. Win an American’s heart and he will give you his pocketbook. Try to argue him out of it by telling him it is yours by rights, and che battle is lost before It is begun. A sort of campaign of popular understanding needs to be undertaken in both countries. Won’t you, Mr. Ambassador, assume the leadership? Only Two More Years Thanks to the State political bosses, the people of this city will be compelled to endure two more years of the present city aouncil and mayor. The people have very emphatically expressed their opinion of the kind of government we have by adopting the city manager form largely on the theory that nothing could be worse than what we have at present. The city council and the mayor on keeping the people of that opinion. The action of the city council and tfie mayor i* the matter of impeachment will go far to make the people of this city glad that there can be but two more years of this sort of rule. Very grave charges were filed against the mayor and his brother-in-law, then the controller. They were definite and direct. They charged many acts of official betrayal of public interest, both before and after his election. Things happened quickly?" The chief of detectives was thrown out of office as unfit. Two weeks later the whole safety board was removed in order to put him back not in his old job but as chief of all police. The chief of police on the day of his degradation said that he had refused to become city controller because he knew he was unfit for the work of handling city finances, but he ifras on the job the next day. These matters having been adjusted, the city council smothers the impeachment resolution. Only two members seemed to be even mildly curious as to their truth or falsity. The mayor showed no ambition for a vindication. The whole matter was settled in secrecy and the citizens will never know whether that impeachment resolution contained facts or was a libel and a slander on the mayor. But take hope. This city council and mayor cannot possibly remain in office more than two more years. That is the limit of their legislative grant. Indianapolis is so firmly founded that perhaps it can stand these two years and survive. That in itself is about the finest tribute that could be paid to its stability. '■ If you're going to be married, give your prospective partner $lO to spend for music and if he buys “Home Sweet Home,’’ marry him, an artist advises. But, i suppose he brings home a saxophone to play it on! We are not concerned about Coolidge running in 1928. But we wonder if, during his Western trip, he’ll get over to Nebraska to greet that fellow who chewed 112 sticks of gum at once. Admiral Eberle and Secretary Wilbur want a law forbidding flyers from risking their lives. After that maybe they’ll get around to sailors, structural iron workers and pedestrians.

Maybe he thinks people shouldn’t go to the just for a race. The smaller United States currency certainly will be a relief. You won’t see so many people humpbacked from carrying it home.

(Princeton Dally Democrat) Former Governor McCray has won his freedom and will return to his former home and endeavor to get back some of this world’s good that he lost through his excursion into the political field of Indiana and there are a large number of people in his State who are of the opinion that he should not have been made the “goat” of political'maneuveres that cost him his fortune and sent him to Atlanta for a term of ten years, one-third of which he has served.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: There Are Just Two Ways to Make Money Pay. One Is to Use It Yourself, and the Other Is to Let Some One Else Use It.

Sixty-six years ago, Chauqcey M. Depew deposited SIOO in a Peekskill bank. It now amounts to $l,lOO. If he had bought a horse and buggy, or taken a trip, he would have nothing to show for his investment except some pleasant memories mingled with regret. On the other hand, if he had bought land where any one of one hundred oil fields were discovered half a century later, he would have made vastly more. Mr. Depew has shown a commendable instinct for thrift in allowing his money to remain at interest, but the interest was earned by other men. The only reason that he and millions of other folks can put their money out and forget about it is that other men know how to make profitable use of it. Back of the savings bank, the the insurance company, the building and loan association, the corporation stocks and bonds, are promoters, developers and executives, whose nerve and ability makes interest possible. There are just two ways to make money pay. One is to use it yourself, and the other is to let some* body else use it. Interest Cheapens Money Measured in dollars, Mr. Depew’s money has multiplied eleven times, but measured in the buying power of dollars it has only multiplied two or three. The dollar is not worth as much as it was in 1881, and interest is a part of the explanation. Generally speaking, money will not pay interest faster than wealth accumulates, and when it is forced to, deflation is the result. At 6 per cent simple interest, money doubles every sixteen and two-thirds years, but wealth never has. Under this condition, the only way 6 per cent can be paid as a general proposition is through the deflation of money. In the time of Henry the Eighth, a laborer received a penny or so a day and small houses could be rented for two or three pennies a month. The necessity of paying interest has had a great deal to do with the constant rise in values and this constant cheapening of money, but not all. There has been a real accumulation of wealth on the one hand/and a more equitable distribution of it on the other. Average people, especially In America, can buy a great deal more with what they have or are able to earn today than could the average people of any preceding gereratibn. Discourage Loan France proposes to borrow SIOO,000,000 from American bankers at 6 per cent. Senator Borah thinks the State D: ->artment should do what it can to discourage the proposition at this time. He points out that France thus far has declined to pay her war debt at a discount of 50 cents on the dollar and at a rate of interest which averages 1M per cent “Would it not be conducive to a better understanding between the peoples of these countries,” he asks, “if such a loan were discouraged until the two governments have reached an agreement relative to the adjustment of the French debt?” Wants Aid of Church President Green of the American Federation of Labor wants the church to study carefully “the true aims of organized labor.” He says that all who are connected with industry must be taught that the church prescribes a formula which, has divine sanction for the solution of all problems and all controveries between employers and employed. He points out, however, that the church is not expected to take a stand on the question of the openshop or the closed shop, or on technical trade matters which occasionally cause disputes between capital and labor. This latter qualification seems to shrivel the real object. A formula means little unless it can be applied, and studying it represents a waste of time unless directed toward its practical application. If the church has a formula for the solution of problems and controversies between employers and employed, it is the obvious duty not only of the church, but of all interested parties to discover how that formula can be used effectively. _______ • Going Too Fast? The English Bishop of Ripon thinks that labor’s worst problem consists of too much science and 100 much machinery. What he would like to see is a cessation of invention and disci wery for about ten years. He believes that the world is going too fast and that humanity is overtaxed. Secretary Davis, on the other hand, believes that more discoveries and inventions are needed to take care of, labor which science and machinery have thrown out of work. Boiled down, these two views represent the age-old controversy of whether we should seek a remedy for our troubles by going ahead, or setting the clock back. How are abolone shells cleaned? The Bureau of Fisheries says that in order to clean them well special appliances are necessary, but it can be done by filing the shell, rubbing it with sandstone, finishing it with fine emery and polishing it with rotten stone.

‘Beggar on Horseback ’ Marks the High Peak of the Present Stuart Walker Season at Keith’s Theater

What is “The Beggar on Horseback” all about? That is the question that is going about town since Stuart Walker gave Indianapolis its first look at this cross-word puzzle of a play. One probably will not get lost in the first act because the first twenty minutes firmly establishes the theme of “The Beggar.” The key to the whole affair is in three parts. First—it is satire upon how a man dreams married life will be to a girl he doesn’t like. Second —it is burlesque upon murder, murder trials, courts, juries and newspapers. Third—it is poetry of burlesque upon classical music with many a jab at jazz. Don’t take “The Beggar” seriously because at times the satire and the burlesque is really so heavy that it invites serious thought. But the second that one gets the pointed humor, of the whole affair and permits one smart and overdrawn scene to follow another, then the theatergoer will have one of the gayest and smartest times of his career. Stuart Walker has promised this gigantic show for ab rut two seasons, and after seeing ‘The Beggar” lean appreciate what a task it is to present as a stock attraction. "The Beggar” is one of the most gigantic things from a scenic and cast standpoint that Walker has ever given this city. Scene after scene must follow rapidly scene after scene. A mere word is a signal for an entire scene change. From a scenic standpoint this comedy is a three-ring circus and it moves along just like a circus. Stuart Walker is seen as Neil, the song writer who wants to do a symphony, but gets all mixed up with Jazz tunes and a rich society flapper. Walker gives a beautiful performance and his shading in the “murder” scene is as delicious a bit of travesty that one would want to see on the stage. He has the'needed light and pointed touch in every scene and it is easy to follow the story of the play with Walker leading the way. Neil is the type of role which suits Stuart Walker, and his performance here is worthy of the most serious consideration as well as lavish praise. The cast is a mighty big one, but in addition to Walker there are several* others who stand out. They are John Storey, Muriel Kirkland (splendid), Judith Lowry, Adelaide Chase, Aldrich Bowker, Boyd Agin, Paul Wright and others. We have Waited a long time to get this very smart travesty upon life. The actors even use the aisles and the plot even overflows into the audience. When the “murder” happens copies of an extra edition of a newspaper are delivered to the audience. One of the smartest scenes in the entire play is the court scene. Here we have Bowker as the Judge in a flaming colored robe. He is a judge who just loves candy. The jury even engages in a Fourth of July oration as they elect a foreman. Here is deliciously smart saltire. “The Beggar on Horseback” is the high light of the present Stuart Walker season. Do not be afraid of this one. It is the comedy triumph of the season. At Keith’s all week. BURLESQUE SHOW HAS GOOD CHORUS Fast and furious dancing interspiced with a lot of comedy and plain old-fashioned hokum is the mainstay of “Nite Life in Paris.” The chorus of the show is an unusually good looking burlesque chorus. They seem to radiate pep and enthusiasm which is furthered by musical numbers that are snappy. The show is well costumed and the scenery used in the various scenes is very effective. By novel uses of lights one mood is changed to another, progressing the show very rapidly. Charles (Tramp) McNaley, who is an old trooper, supplies most of the comedy and fun of the piece and is supported by La Villa Mayme,

who is the feature dancer, and George Seldom Contrary to most burlesque, this shov is not built around a plot, but is a senes of variegated scenes and sketches which are run off in rapid succession. At the Mutual all week. (By the Observer.) “HOME FIRES” IS JUST WHAT TITLE IMPLIES “Home Fires” is one comedy that the title explains fully its theme. It means that an American family has a human fireside, but Dad and his two daughters have the longing to frolic other places than the family hearth. f The wife and mother realizes the struggle which produced the home fires and she can not understand why her husband and daughters want to fly out of the window, especially at night, to frolic in the glow of the cheap lights of a road house. Mary Bedford in the hands of Bernice Marsolais is an American mother and wife, who fully realizes the temptations outside of the family cjrcle. She thinks that her love will cause her two daughters to tell her the truth and she thinks that same love will keep her husband close to the home fires. And when she fails, Mary Bedford can not understand why her love was not strong enough to bind her loved ones to the home. Not that her loved ones were bad, but they longed for excitement and they went away from the home to get it. Ail of their escapades are really harmless, but each time one of the family breaks out they do it at a time when certain circumstances are present which makes the affair look worse than it is.

It is the serious, but human work of Miss Marsolais and the excellent performance of Herbert Dobbins as Henry Bedford, the husband and father which gives “Home Fires” what ever merit it has. Idabelle Arnold Is cast again as a flapping juvenile and in such roles she registers like a house on fire at night. Adelaide Melnotte gives a realistic performance of the old aunt, who can’t hear very well and who owm a sharp and henest tongue. Larry Sullivan, Robert St. Clair, Mae Beresville, Alney Alba, Milton Byr jn. William V. Hull, J. F. Marlow and others are present. At English’s all week. STUDYING ARTISTRY OF A BLACK FACE ACT The new bill at the Lyric does not seem to be hooked up just right this week as there are two girl dancing acts on the same bill. It is easy then to decide on the winning act, in my opinion. My attention was centered upon the work of Burns and West, two comedians in blackface. These two men afford one an interesting study in the artistry of blackface entertainment. One recalls that years age one had to go to a minstrel show fco see this type of entertainment. Burns and West for years have been studying the application of blackface entertainment as applied to the modem vaudeville stage. They have gone beyond the demands of the minstrel stage and have created a definite type of blackface entertainment. They have decided that individual comedy is necessary. And they have that brand. Thenjhey have decided that melody is necessary and they have supplied that with certain home mad& instruments

Stage Verdict KEITH’S—“The Beggar on Horseback” is the gigantic artistic accomplishment of the Stuart Walker season. It is the comedy treat of this or any season. ENGLISH’S—“Home Fires” gives Bernice Marsolais a fine character opportunity and she gives a magnificent performance. LYRlC—Burns and West are a fine eocample of how good a' blackface act can really be.

that give forth some of the hottest jazz moans and groans that I have heard in many a day. This individual making coupled with their own way of developing this melody and their comedy has resulted in making Bums and West one of the most successful individual blackface teams on the stage today. “Parisian Whirl* is a dancing act in which a man and woman with their classical and acrobatic work gives the act its commanding charm. A chorus of dancing girls is used as a background as well as an interlude between the work of the two chief dancers. Dave Rafael is a ventriloquist who has worked out his offering on different lines. Rafael is made up as a corner policeman and we meet dummies made up to represent certain well-known characters that pass any corner.. There is enough mystery to his work to keep one guessing. “The Revels” is another dancing act which is built along individual lines. The girls admit that they want to be dramatic stars and the like, but they always go back to dancing, Ferguson and Sunderland were on the stage when I arrived. Stanley Chapman is one of those “nut” comedians who uses a piano for the Alps and climbs the mountain right before you. Because I was late in arriving I missed Knox and Stetson. The bill includes Will Rogers in “Switzerland,” and other movies. At the Lyric all week.

Such notes are worth from 10 to 50 cents, depending on the date of issue and the condition of the note. How old is Charles Farrell, who starred in “Old Ironsides,” “The Rough Riders” and “Seventh Heaven?” Twenty-five years. What is the plural of hypotenuse? Hypotenuses. What causes flames of fire? Why does it tend to go upward? Flames of fire are produced by the union of one gas with another that surrounds it. A flame is merely the combining of gases at a temperature which causes them to become luminous. As these gases are lighter than air, they are constantly in the process of rising in air, consequently the flame produced by the uniting of these gases tends to go upward. Are there any restrictions as to aliens owning property anywhere in the United States? In general it may be said that aliens may own property in the United States under the same terms and conditions that apply to American citizens. Property rights are governed by State laws, not national or Federal laws. In a few cases. States have limited the right of certain aliens to hold property, as in the case of the Pacific coast States, which limit the right, or prohibit the ownership of property by Chinese and Japanese.

Why the Weather?

ICE AGES . Little by little science is piecing out the story of the great changes of climate that have occurred on the earth in ages past. Prior to the nineteeenth century geologists were puzzled to account for the presence in many parts of the world of the rocks known as “boulders” or “erratics,” which had evidently been transported long distances from their original beds. The Scotchman, Playfair, appears to have been the first person- to suggest that they had been carried by prehistoric glaciers. I|fany years later Louis Agassiz and others revived this idea and so brought forward various other evidence to prove that vast areas of Europe and North America had once been buried under glaciers, implying a far colder climate than prevails today. A generation ago geologists talked of “the Glacial Period.” The records of the rocks have since disclosed the fact that there was not merely one of these frigid episodes in the earth’s history, but that several have occurred. The latest coincided with the geological epoch known as the Pleistocene. An garilier and very severe ice age occurred in Carboniferous and Permian times, leaving its traces in regions that now have warm climates, including India, South Africa, Australia and South America. Thera is evidence of at least two still earlier major ice ages, besides soma minor ones. a Though each of them lasted lions of years, the ice ages were probably relatively brief departures from a normal condition of warmer anymore stable climate. Some authorities think we are now living in a transition period between the last ice age and a renewal of normal climatic conditions.
