The Great Objective What will the people of Indiana do, now that they have the first glimpse of the basis of their government'? Will they be satisfied to let the same old politicians battle for offices as they have in the past nr will they decide that they need representation in government instead of a hidden bossism ? For a year The Times has made its fight to give the people the truth concerning their government. Not all of the truth has been told. The part played by otters besides Governor Jackson .is still to be revealed and will be revealed. The use of power, State power and Federal power and local power, to hide the crimes and sins of men who bartered with the venal and the greedy and the hateful, must be exposed. There are still chapters to be written. There is that matter of a letter from an agent of Attorney General Sargeant to The Times which was slit open and its contents read in the same building where work other Federal employes, concerning whom the contents of this letter related. There is still the chapter of conspiracy to send the editor of this newspaper and Thomas H. Adams to a Federal penitentiary by forgeries and perjuries. This must be brought out and shown, so that the extent of depravity of some very high officials may be known. There is still the matter of the contents of the black boxes of Stephenson which reveal the dealings of other officials with the former dragon. These must be exposed and known. But there is something even more important than all these incidents and details. That is the part played by the people themselves when they turned over their affairs to a super government. The only note thus far sounded which ha* in it the sound of hope has come from Attorney General Gilliom, who for months has openly declared war against any form of secret control of government or of officials. Gilliom has shown courage where others have been silent. He has spoken openly where other State officials have been silent. He has challenged while those who aspire to office under the Democratic party have been content to make no enemies and to rely upon disgust of voters with all things Republican, to get them into office. There must not only be an end to Stephensonisra and its partnership with Watsonism, but there must be an aw r akening of conscience on the part of the people that will make such a rule impossible. The machine created in these days of super government is the one which sent "VVatson and ‘Tfobkison back to the Senate. Of ( course they will not resign. They should, inasmuch as they went into office as beneficiaries of a system which was not known to all the people. They are in the position of receiving office under false pretenses. The people have something to do for themselves. They must decide that they want to rule themselves. For after all, this is a battle between super government and representative government. The Avar is between the ideals ".of Washington and Jefferson and those of Mussolini. Are the people of this State fit to .rule themselves $ Do they Avish to rule themselves ■?

U. S. Constitution Is Classic Known Only to Few

EDITOR'S NOTE: William Gladstone, thi famous British statesman, called the Constitution of the United States ■the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." Yet today few people really know what that constitution contains. This Is the first of a series of twelve articles by Harry Atwood, president of the Constitution Anniversary Association BY HARRY ATWOOD President, Constitution Anniversary Association September 17, 1927, will mark the 140th anniversary of the completion and signing of our ConstitutionIt is now the oldest written Constitution still functioning in the world, and not withstanding the tremendous increase in population and territory and the epochal changes which our country has undergone—including the shock of the Civil War—this historic document, marvelous in its brevity and implicity, lives on as fit for its task today as when it was signed at Philadelphia In 1787. In his great “farewell address,” delivered on September 17, 1796, the ninth anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, Washington expressed the hope: “That the Constitution may be sacredly maintained—that the happiness oi the people of States may be made complete by so careful a preservation, and so prudent a use of this blessing as will acquire to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection and adoption of every nation.” Washington believed so thoroughly in the endurance and usefulness of the Constitution that he expressed the hope that other nation* would adopt it as their form of government. In 1887, after a hundred years of testing, William Gladstone, who

The President and the Farmer During the World War an army welfare worker seized an opportunity offered by a halt In the march of an American division toward the battle lines to deliver an address to a group of infantry soldiers. He expanded on the nobility of the allied cause and the cosmic significance of the soldiers’ sacrifices. He was about to mount to even greater heights when a foot-sore, weary and hungry doughboy broke up the meeting by shouting, “ ‘At’s fine—but when do we eat?” Among the farmers who heard President Coolidge speak, in dedicating the Lincoln Memorial Library at the South Dakota Agricultural College, there may have been those who could sympathize with that soldier. The President talked principally about the necessity of paying more heed to the spiritual side of life and made no reference to the overshadowing problem of farm relief. As an isolated document the President s address was above reproach. HC proved that Lincoln was interested in agriculture, and that it is peculiarly fitting to name an agricultural college library in his honor. He pointed out that the knowledge developed and spread by agricultural colleges is in a large measure responsible for the remarkable increase in farm production. But he warned that mere increase in economic power is not enough, and that “more emphasis must be given to the development of our moral power.” , To many of his farmer listeners the President’s address must have been at least a surprise. They probably expected that after a summer in the West he would discuss their present problems in a neighborly fashion and give some clew to the workings of the presidential mind about farm relief. After he had quoted Lincoln's statement that “No other human occupation opens so wide a field for a profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought as agriculture,” they might have been hopeful that President Coolidge would note that this is no longer true, and that he would outline some ideas about how such a situation can be restored. He didn’t. Instead he turned to argue that “tne life of the nation must rise to a higher realm.” That it must, no one has the temerity or the knowledge to dispute. But many of the farmers of the country haven’t paid last year's taxes or the interest on thfe-mortgage. For them the path to the higher life is obscured by harassing economic problems. About how these problems should be solved the President offered no suggestion. His omissions, rather than what he said, may give rise to some interesting discussion in farm circles. State Rights or No Rights? You can understand why a State like Florida would favor abolishing the Federal Inheritance tax. It is not so easy to understand why a number of other States are taking the same attitude. 1 Florida has no State inheritance tax. It benefits from its reputation as a good place to die—a State in which your estate won’t be taxed by the State when you're gone. It is said to have lured many a millionaire by this argument. But the Federal inheritance law operates in Florida as in other States—only more so. If you die in a State that has a State inheritance tax, the Federal Government rebates to the State 80 per cent of what it collects from your estate. In Florida—and other States having no State tax—the Federal Government keeps what It collects. So the case of Florida and similar States can be understood. But the cry against the Federal tax Is being raised by many other States which do have State inheritance taxes. “States’ lignts!” is their demand. Suppose they get this “right.” Suppose the Federal inheritance tax is abolished. What will happen? Isn’t it possible that, one by one, the States will begin repealing their State inheritance taxes? Already a few have followed Florida's example, seeking to keep their aging millionaires at home to die. The competition probably would end with all the State estate taxes wiped out. Fighting for States’ rights, the States, in this particular matter, might wind up with no rights. With leap year only a few months away, lads, watch your leaps.

served fifty-five years in the public life of Great Britain, said: “It is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.” Our Constitution is the foundation upon which this republic rests and is quite generally considered the wisest plan of government ever conceived. Under its beneflcient influence we have made orderly progress unparalleled In history until we have become the leading nation of the world. The governmental atmosphere | of individual security provided by the Constitution stimulated individual effort toward discovery and invention, so that a major portion of all inventions in the world history have occurred on American soil since our Constitution was written. We have advanced from oxen and wooden plow to tractor and farm machinery, from scythe to combined reaper and thresher, from candle and water wheel to electric light and power, from one-man shops to great manufacturing plants, from stage coach to pullman palace car, from messenger boy to cablegram, and from covered wagon to the Lind-

bergh flight. We have become the leading industrial nation, due in a marked degree to the fact that the corporation method of conducting commerce has been taken largely from the plan of the Constitution, generally conceded to have been the first and best plan of successful cooperation ever devised. Under the Constitution we have solved problems and secured individual comforts and privileges that had frifflod philosophers and statesmen lor ages, and have harmonized into a splendid and loyal citizenship ;' . v ? v -

people of inany nationalities coming to our shores with varying ambitions and idealsNotwithstanding, however, the vital importance of the Constitution to our well-being as a nation, the number of persons who know much about it is tragically small. Our public schools were established decades ago for the primary purpose of developing an intelligent citizenship, and yet, in a public address delivered at Washington, D. C., in October, 1924, Dr. John J- Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, said: “I do not believe there more than a very limited number of persons, perhaps a hundred, who really know what is in the (Jonstitution of the United States.” We naturally look to lawyers foi a sound understanding of the Constitution, and yet, in the report of the Committee on American Citizenship, presented at the meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colorado, July 14-6, 1926, the following confession was made: “Lawyers are being graduated from our law schools by the thousands who have little knowledge of the Constitution. When organizations seek a lawyer to instruct them on the Constitution they find it nearly Impossible to secure one competent.” These are but two of many similar] statesments which have been made in recent years, revealing not only our neglect of this priceless heritage, so essential to the welfare and perpetuity of American institutions, but emphasizing forcefully our duty toward a better understanding.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: Suppose From Now On Everybody With Cash Refused to Trust Men for What They Are and to Back Experiments for What They Promise, Where Would Business Land?

Judge Gary was a good manager. He knew how to make and keep money not only for himself, but for others. The splendid condition in which he left United States Steel proves his ability in this respect. It proves little else, however. Judge Gary was a natural born trustee. The “rainy day” always loomed large in his fancy and his chief concern was to provide against it. His claim to distinction lies In the fact that he took a going concern and kept it going, that he never lost his head in a bullish market, that nothing could tempt him to over buy or over build and that, when it came to the question of declaring dividends or adding to the surplus, invariably he favored the latter.

Real Victory in Indiana Governor Jackson’s indictment dpes not prove that he is guilty, but it does prove that sufficient evidence was placed before the grand jurors to convince them that he ought to be tried. Those who know the conditions that prevail in Indiana will recognize this as a real victory for the forces that clean politics. What is peculiarly gratifying to us in the profession is that these papers played an important part in gaining the victory. But for a few honest and fearless editors, Indiana would be as firmly in the grip of a rotten political machine as it was four years ago. It took not only courage, but skill to make exposures and carry on the campaign necessary to action of any kind. Creed in Will Judge Gary’s economic creed is stated with bleak brevity in his will. “I earnestly request my wife and my children and descendents,” he wrote, “that they steadfastly decline to sign any bonds or obligations of any kind as surety for any person or persons; that they refrain from anticipating their income in any respect; that they refuse to make any loans except on the basis of firstclass, >nown securities and that ihey in”ariaLly decline to invest !n any untried or doubtful securities or property or enterprise or business.” Rich and Safe Sound advice for those who have fortunes to start with. You can’t think of a better set of rules to keep and rich rich without risk or effort on their part. am Let us even ignore the element of romance and the desire for adventure which play such an important part in life. Let us disregard that peculiar, but glorious trait of human nature which sends explorers to the frozen North, naturalists to Borneo and prospectors to Alaska. And let us appraise Judge Gary's creed from a strictly commercial standpoint. In the Background Judge Gary made his mark in steel, but where did steel begin? If somebody had not invested in an untried enterprise, had not made loans on doubtful security, had not rated human genius higher than physical assets, would there have been any great corporation for him to take over? Back of the stocks and bonds he husbanded so shrewdly, back of the gigantic mechanism which made it possible to declare regular dividends and roll up a huge surplus, was not only the inventor and the dreamer, but the men who dared to bet their pile on anew and improved enterprise.

Our Ten Giants There are ten great corporations in this country—ten. billion-dollar concerns—ten industrial giants that visualize .the drift and possibilities of this age. One centers around steel, one around the telephone, one around oil, two around the automobiles and five around railroads. None of them centers around an activity that is more than 100 years old. Each of them was born of invention and discovery, and each of them we > developed by men who dared to take a sporting chance. Just Suppose Suppose nobody had bought Bell telephone stock as a gamble. Suppose Fulton had not found friends to loan him money. Suppose from now on everybody with cash refused to trust men for what they are and to back experiments for what they promise. Where would'business land?

Morgan's Vision The late J. P. Morgan testified before a Senate committee that he had loaned many men $1,000,000 with nothing more than a bare signature to show for it, and declared thht the moral .risk had a very large place in banking. He was shrewd and exacting as Judy Gary, but he had something the latter lacked, and that was vision which saw more in life than could be accounted for by mere bookkeeping. Back of wealth ho saw ingenuity, back of ingenuity, he saw the gambling instinct, back of the gambling instinct he saw the type of man who could risk everything without fear and lose everything without being broken in spirit, and he rated that type of man as the driving force of civilization and worthy of support from a strictly business mandpoint. __

The Jury Is Now Asked to Decide If *Camille ’ Can Be Made a Convincing 1927 Expert Gold Digger

The question that is bothering me after seeing Norma Talmadge in a 1927 version of "Camille” is—ls Camille a product of this day or was she only of the period of which Dumas wrote? In other words, is Norma Talmadge correct in her version of making Camille a mighty clever and

beautiful 1927 gold digger? me, Camille has been an individual of a certain period of French life and not a modern institution. To me there is only one Camille, and she is the Camille of Dumas’ creation of the time he wrote. Camille may have ‘had many ancient as well as mod-

nr si ft v i ljk v 7 sfl t *1.5

ern sisters in the gentle art of liv-Norma Talmadge ing on her beauty and her cleverness of making silly old men clothe her in gold and jewels. Camille, to my way of thinking was a “high class” kept lady of other days In Paris and not a modern gold digger. There was only one Camille, and she never lived in this day. I would have liked to see Norma Talmadge in a period version of “Camille” or as Sarah Bernhardt played the role. Norma’s "Camille” rings too modern or about the same way as Mrs. Fiske’s “Ghosts.” Bernhardt, as I remember her in the role, made Camille an unmoral woman in place of just plain immoral. She was capable of great love, even tragic love, and all of her lovers generally turned out to be grand wrecks. She makes a fine job of it in wreck, ng Armand, the only one she really loved. In the modem version used by Miss Talmadge, we start with Camille after she is dead, and she comes to life only to re-act certain episodes of her life as related in her diary.

This was done so that Armand might more fully appreciate her “love” for him. So as Armand reads the diary before a great painting of Camille, the lady steps down from her frame and comes to life again. Norma Talmadge is a beautiful woman and Camille was supposed to have been a rare beauty and also a very commanding woman to make fools out of so many men. Notma’s Camille is nearly too beautiful and we have long periods of mighty close close-ups of Norma both In happy and sad moods. Never have I seen the close-ups used so frequently. Norma's Camille comes mighty close to being an Elinor Glynn conception of the much discussed lady as Norma’s Camillle has a dramatic time of it with Armand on a white bear skin before a modern apartment fireplace. J If Camille is a modern product, I would rather suspicion her going into a court and bringing suit against Armand’s father for attempting to take him away from her instead of rushing out into a snow storm. ! But the real Camille of Dumas’ idea was a woman who was capable of high emotions, violent love making and a clever system of dazzling weak old men as well as young into that stage o.' complete foolishness that would bankrupt themselves for her as well as to commit suicide. The Armand. of Gilbert Roland is the modern patent-leather hair effect young man who was wild about Camille. He was wild at first because he thought she was a good girl and then became wilder when he discovered that she was just a kept woman.

As far as I am personally concerned, I would rather have a radio in my apartment than the modern edition of Camille as played by Miss Talmadge. Roland’s Armand becomes a violent lovemaker before he throws a bunch of money into the face of Camille. If you are interested in Camille because Norma is the lady, then you may rave over the big and expensive way that “Camille” as been mounted and presented. If Camille is just

WALTER D. HICKMAN

another part for your lavorlte actress of dramatic emotions on the screen, then Norma Is the beautiful lady of the lilies. But, if you consider Camille a product of Dumas’ conception of French life in Paris at another day and concede that Camille can not be modernized because she is not an institution, then you will agree with my idea. But this movie production of "Camille” is beautiful to an extreme in its settings. You do not have realism, but rather a glorified idea of a gay lady having a gay time between super-heated love affairs. This week brings back to the Circle the Circle Concert Orchestra with Stolarevsky conducting. This orchestra has been at the Indiam since its opening and the transfer back to its former scene of great triumphs was made yesterday. Now on view at the Circle. IT IS TOO BAD THAT YOUNGSTERS MUST GROW UP When I saw Jackie Coogan years ago with Charlie Chaplin. I said to myself, “Oh, please, do not let this youngster grow up.” But my wish was not granted and probably there might bs happier directors and producers in Hollywood today if Jackie had remained a boy.

Jackie right now is rapidly approaching that stage of his natural growth which is known as the dangerous period for an artist. He is no longer the cute “kid,” but rather a young boy with bright eyes who is trying to be a successful actor and at the same time hang on to that big following which he has had. It is a hard

jjn

Jackie Coogan

job to get movie vehicles for this “Oliver Twist” lad of today. Jackie can not be kept too young and he must not be too adult. So they bring him out now in ‘ The Bugle Call,” story of frontier days or that period of history known as American prairie life. Jackie is cast as the son of an army captain stationed at a fort in the far west in other days when Indians attempted to go scalp hunting away from their reservations. Jackie takes up the bugle and becomes an extra bugle blower for the regiment. Os course he is the cutup of the regiment and pulls several good stunts on the men. For one stunt, Jackie is sent to the kitchen to peel enough potatoes for the entire regiment. Jackie becomes the hero when the Indians get on the warpath and he sounds his bugle just in time to save much damage. “The Bugle Call” aims to entertain and at the same time to set a glorious example of bravery for all boys of the land. I would like to suggest for Jackie just now some of the Alger stories. I believe that these stories would film gloriously and that Jackie would become a really great hero even at his age. The Apollo bill runs to fun as the other feature on the bill besides “The Bugle Call” is Our Gang in “The Glorious Fourth.” The bill includes Emil Seidel and his orchestra, Cliff Williams, soloist, and Earl Gordon at the organ. At the Apollo all week.

Movie Verdict INDIANA—Charlie Davis glorifies his orchestra and jumps into the big league Paul Ash class. CIRCLE—Norma Talmadge attempts a modem “Camille.” APOLLO—Jackie Coogan attempts to establish himself in anew type of a role in “The Bugle Call. ” OHIO—“The Gingham Girl” was first a musical comedy and 4 te now a movie.

CHARLIE DAVIS GLORIFIES HIS ORCHESTRA AT INDIANA Have always felt that Charlie Davis woul£ glorify his orchestra if given the opportunity. Just as Ziegfeld glorifies the American girl, just so does Charlie glorify his orchestra boys. Charlie Davis comes back to town this season at the Indiana instead of at the Ohio, where for several

seasons he made himself the idol of the city. In the past, Charlie has been intimate,' but now he has been given a big stage, lots and lots of scenery, bunches c.' lights, as well as noted assisting artists. In other words, Charlie has graduated into the big league Paul Ash crowd, with the assistance of the directors of the Publix pr e sentations. This new policy of

Olive Borden

presenting a band with assisting artists is now being tried out by the Publix people at the Indiana. This system, it seems to me, will give Davis a big opportunity to grow even into a bigger commanding figure. As I understand it, >‘Orange Blossoms," the first presentation under the new policy, was devised and staged by Frank Cambria. This system enables Davis to have both different settings and different scores or plots for revues each week. Judging by “Orange Blossoms,” Davis and his band will be given plenty of opportunity for individual work. You know as well as I do that Davis has a mighty good orchestra, and that his men have the needed personality to put over their individual efforts. Dick Powell, the singer, is again with Davis. As far as I know, Davis is using the largest orchestra that he has ever had here. And they know how to produce the melody. Those assisting the orchestra are Eugene Gibelli and Dorothy Neville, who has a beautiful voice and a high one; dancing girls, a clown in capers; Earl and Bell, instrumentalist; Dezso Better, a veryeccentric individual, and, others. This revue has been lavishly staged and if the present standard is maintained, it is safe to predict that all will be well at the Indiana. “The Joy Girl,” the feature movie, has a theme which isn’t too pleasant at times, but as most of it is done in a snappy tempo, this movie is comedy with dashes of satire instead of drama . The girl of the title is the pampered good looking daughter of poor parents in Palm Beach Florida. The mother of the girl makes a slave of herself so that her daughter may marry a rich man. Daughter starts out on her campaign and she gets herself in one terrible mess. She thinks she is marrying wealth, but gets a man with empty purse as well as an empty head. The girl Is played by Olive Borden, and the real guy is played by John Jeffrey Fleet. M£rie Dressier has a mighty broad role, that of a wealthy widow who hires young, healthy good looking men to frolic with. Not a pleasant character, but Marie does make one laugh. She is one of the funniest broad comedy artists on the screen today. , The bill Includes an organ solo by Maurice and some' novelty film features as well as a news reel. At the Indiana MUSICAL COMEDY , NOW IS A PHOTOPLAY Based on the musical comedy success of Daniel Kusell, which played for a year in New York, “The Ginghim Girl” comes to the Ohio Theater as a comedy drama that is light and entertaining. George K. Arthur is cast as a small town hick who goes to the “big city” to win his way. Because of his thick skin he “crashes” into the society of gold-diggers and pseudo-artiats, and, being not so dumb U h. .oo* h. mar-

Why the Weather?

By Chariot Fitzhugh Talmau Authority on Meteorology

MEASURING SUNSHINE There are various ways of measuring the total amount of energy in the sunbeams and still others of measuring the distribution of energy through the different parts of the solar spectrum. The total energy of direct sunshine, measured in heat units called “calories," can be obtained by means of pyrheliometers, of which there are several patterns. Closely related to these are the Instruments that measure the energy radiated by sun and sky together, or by the sky alone. The amount of energy received in the various regions of the spectrum is most accurately measured by the use of the bolometer or the thermopile. These instruments record the energy corresponding to each wavelength of radiation, but they are elaborate and difficult to use. Instruments of a simpler character measure the energy in a single spectral region as a whole. Some, for example, measure the intensity of ultra-violet radiation; others show how much red light or green light is received from the sun. Then there are instruments that measure the total brightness of sunlight or daylight in light units. There are also a number of devices for showing the rate at which sunlight produces certain chemical reactions. Lastly, there are “sunshine-re-corders” of many varieties, that register the duration of sunshine but not its intensity. (All rights reseived bv Self nee Service,! Inc.)
