Not Politics but Business That this city will be forced to endure the humiliation of having a man convicted of crime acting as mayor is too absurd to be countenanced. • Certainly somewhere in Indianapolis is a force of public opinion strong enough to save the city from this shame. The situation is different now than it was three or four weeks ago when the city council threatened to impeach the mayor, and then as promptly and as jnysteriously forgot to do it. The mayor is now convicted. His guilt of a political crime that went td the merits of his election has been declared by a jury. Those jurors acted after they had heard all the evidence. Public opinion is such as to believe that the verdict of the jury is just. Mr. Duvall has every right, of course, to appeal his case to the higher courts and discover whether all the technicalities were complied wit.’\ Mayor Duvall lias no right to continue to shame by continuing in office. That he clings to his job and its power is an additional indictment of his interest in the welfare of the city. If he had a decent regard for the city and its name elsewhere, he would immediately resign. Put inasmuch as that is not to be expected unless he is shown that the sentiment for such a move is unanimous and emphatic, every civic organization of this city should at once make its position known. Through these organizations the sentiment of the city can be expressed and voiced in a manner that no one would dare disobey. This is not a matter of politics. It is a question of business and of saving the name of Indianapolis. To continue under the leadership of a mayor whose sentence to jail is only stayed by a re- | view of hi/l.er courts is to invite constant criticism and suspicion. The Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Kiwanis Club, the Lions, the community organizations, could change the situation if they had courftge to see that this is no longer a matter of partisan politics or politics of any kind, but one of immediate preservation of the reputation of the city. If there were a grave epidemic threatening, the .citizens would act and act together. Were the city menaced by a great fire or some huge disaster, there would be an organization aside from the city government which would act. This is an emergency. The civic organizations should speak. They should suggest some man who is known for his integrity and his freedom from partisan politics to be named as controller and then very forcefully and very emphatically tell Mayor Duvall to name him and then re-’ sign. Not even his best friend or his worst enemy would think of advising him tp refuse if public sentiment so organized, impressed him with the fact that his continuance in office is a positive threat to the welfare, the growth and the prosperity of the city.

The Quest of the Blue Rose It was announced recently In one of the Loridon papers that a horticulturist at last had succeeded In producing what has been the quest of rose growers for centuries—a really blue rose. Not a deep crimson shading oft almost into black. Not a purple. But a real brilliant blue rose. The ordinary matter-of-fact fellow will perhaps bluntly ask: “And why bother about a blue rose? Red roses are good enough and sweet enough. And there are plenty of other flowers that are blue.” But the deep truth is that all life that is worth living is the quest of the blue rose. The blue rose Is the ideal. It is the dream. It is the lure that leads man on to great adventure, to inventions, to discoveries. When Columbus crossed the Atlantic in search of another continent it was a quest for a blue rose. When men penetrated frozen wilds to attain the North Pole, it was a quest for the blue rose. When Lindbergh crossed the ocean in his tiny plane he, too, was seeking the blue rose. Einstein in his study formulating his theory of relativity: Edison in his laboratory making new things for man’s use and enjoyment; ail the great poets and novelists and dramatists and painters and sculptors—all are in quest of the blue rose.

(Marion Chronicle) (Republican) Mayor John L. Duvall of Indianapolis has been found guilty of violating the Indiana corrupt practices act and the jury which returned a verdict against him fixed penalty at a fine of r, SI,OOO and thirty days in the Marlon ana/ce, County jail. The Duvall case, while but Don t seems to have stirred up a neverProtnise ending political feud at Indianapolis. is of interest outside the capital city only as it reveals the bitterness of the eternal battle of the “outs” and “ins" and the danger of making political promises which may have its political effect in other quarters of the State. I might have been Imagined from the determined publicity in the Duvall case that charges of graft, misappropriation of public funds, Vote buying and high crimes and misdemeanors entered into the case. That is the impression many of those who have not followed the case may have gained. But it was on a charge of violating the 1

What Other Editors Think

Wanted—Nine More Magruders Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder has done the Navy and the Natiofc a service by taking up his pen against waste in the Navy Department. Frank, r.tther than vitriolic, constructive rather than destructiive, his ‘•unauthorized" magazine article on "The Navy and Economy," contains absolutely nothing upon which to base court-martial or other disciplinary proceedings such as have been suggested. It may be that the outspoken rear admiral got his tweedledee before his tweedledum in places, but fundamentally his charge that we are not getting the Navy we are paying for is perfectly sound, as any one at all acquainted with the subject knows. Rear Admiral Magruder divides responsibility for tills state of affairs about equally between the controlling group within the service Itself and Congress. For while wasteful methods are present in the Navy, he al'eges, a number of extravagances which naval officials would like to abolish are continued because of political pressure. For instance, the rear admiral charges that there are all sorts of divisions and sections requiring bales of paper rork, reports and red tape which might be done away with, or consolidated, without injury to the service, but with tremendous economies in msn and money. This the Navy Department itself could remedy if it would. On the other hand there are about twice as many naval bases and stations on the Atlantic seaboard are are needed, but whenever anybody suggests deducing the number there is a loud squawk at Washington by politicians out for votes In the section where the bases are located. With some of Rear Admiral Magruder’s criticisms this newspaper can not entirely agree. But these are generally details and unimportant in view of the seriousness of the main allegations. Congress would do well to look into the charges—not just a superffcial peek by politicians who are not qualified to understand what they see, but a real look, a comprehensive probe by experts whose findings could be used as a basis for genuine reforms in tht direction of efficiency and economy. The country, just now, seems in a mood to refurbish its Navy and while w;; are about It, let’s make it a thorough job. To be perfectly fair to the Navy, however, Con • gress might keep on going until every department In Washington had been purged of perfectly obvious ex-' travagances. As Senator Borah remarked, when asked what he thought of the Magruder case: "I wish we had a Magruder in every department in Washington.”

Women who have given up writing mash notes to the Prince of Wales because he's now too old might try their art on young King Michael. Here's this theory of evolution shot to pieces again. Archeologists have found the skull of a stone age high brow. Fifty-five per cent of Holland’s windmills have Ifeeh demolished since 1926. Probably too great a menace from trans-Atlantic fliers. The judges of Scotland gave no death sentences to convicted criminals last year. This is carrying frugality to extremes. Would you call the ice cream consumption for 1926 —42,200,000,000 gallons—a staggering total? Wealth No Longer Bar to Public Offices BY RAY TUCKER Not so many years ago politicians and president- ; makers would have been horrified had anyone suggested that a millionaire be nominated for the presidency. It was then axiomatic that a man of means had about as much chance, of entering the White House as a camel has of passing through the eye of' a needle. There was good precedent for such a belief. It is probable that no president except George Washington was worth a' million dollars, and his was in land, which aroused no fears in the hearts of a people who had only to go west to hew out an estate as expensive as Mount Vernon. Later, however, birth in a log cabin, a youth of poverty and traces of humble origin became the prime political asset, as in the cases of Jackson, the first Harrison, Tyler, Lincoln, Grant and Coolidge. But those days .seem to have vanished. Judging from the men mentioned as leading G. O. P. candidates, the politicians and people no longer distrust wealthy men in elective office. It may be the diffusion of prosperity, or an improvement In the morals of big business over the ‘public be damned” days of Commodore Vanderbilt, but whatever the reason, the millionaires s?em to dominate the political horizon of 1928. Almost all the Republican presidential candidates are eligible for membership in a millionaires’ club. Secretary Mellon, for instance, Is regarded as the third richest man in America. Secretary Hoover made his first million before he was thirty. Frank Lowden married into the Pullman family, and though classed as a fanner, never stared the poorhouse In the face during the agricultural depression. Speaker Longworth inherited his wealth, chiefly Cincinnati real estate. Charles Evans Hughes paid an income tax of (50,000 the first year after he quit the State Department, which indicates an Income of at lekst $300,000 for one year, and his earnings since have equalled that figure. Vice-President Dawes long ago passed into the millionaire class. Instead of deprecating their wealth, as some candidates have done in the past, political aspirants in the next campaign may compete for favor on the ground that they have more at stake than their rivals.

Indiana corrupt practices act that Duvall was convicted. He made too many political promises which the Jury found was a violation of the law. Mayor Duvall will now be called upon to resign. If he doesn’t resign and fails to get anew trial or to get & reversal of the court decision on appeal he will be forced out. The situation apparently would have been clarified if he had resigned after he had received enough votes to be elected, but since he has fixed the fire up to this stage of the game he has not. ring to gain by quitting the fight until the last ditch is taken. Mayor Duvall has gone up against a politics! game at which he was not an expert. Evidently be made the mistake of passing out political promises himself Instead of letting his managers do it. Th* Duvall case is the capital city’s affair but his conviction will be a warning to other candidates for ofilce to play the game according to the book and assign to their managers the promise-making of office seekers. Otherwise the corrupt practices act will be violated. Shake hands, but leave the promising to outsiders.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY, SAYS: . Too Many People Have Made a Religion of Human Inventiveness and Have Come to Regard *Human Life as Offering Little Except Through Changes.

Men have learned to move fast mentally as well as physically, during the last 100 years. As the- Baltimore & Ohio Railroad opens its Centennial Exposition Lieutenant Batten drives an airplane more than 200 miles an hour at Bpokanc. If it is marvelous to behold how “Tom Thumb" lias developed into a 100-ton locomotive, it is still more marvelous to behold how the automobile has driven "Old Dobbin” from the highway, and how common the roar of flying machines has become. You do not have to go to an exposition to realize what an important part rapid transit has come to play in human affairs, or what a still more important part promises to play. _s Resented Time Savers No matter what their other virtues. our forefathers were not greatly interested in speed. Looking at life as just a preliminary step to eternity, they had little inclination to prolong it by saving time. Asa matter of record, they resented inventions and innovations that saved time and shortened distance. They regarded the stage coach as dangerous when it had attained a speed of ten miles an hour, and declared that neither the body nor the mind could endure such a pace when told that the steam engine would one day haul them about at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Holds Flying ‘Delusion’ Even in tills day. when innovation has become the rule, rather than the exception, men have hardly freed themselves from the habit of being pessimistic, if i,st afraid. Dean Inge, doubts the future of democracy, and an unknown English . author who styles himself “Nion” argues that flying is a “great delusion.” Worse still, there is a determ, nation on the part of certain conservative groups to clamp on the brakes and set the clock back by lav. A ■■ Other Nations Hold Back Nor is such a determination confined to the "Bible Belt.” so called, or the Anti-Saloon League, or other movements m this country that we have become ae-J customed to scold. vT The length and style of dresses which school girls may wear is prescribed in Hungary, and they are forbidden to use face powder and make-up in Turkey. Having closed public dance halls in Italy, our good friend Mussolini is now contemplating a 10 o'clock curfew for broadcasting stations so the people cannot dance in their homes after that time.

Warrant for Reaction No doubt, there is some warrant for the reaction which seems to be taking place throughout the world.* Too many people have made a religion of human inventiveness and has come to rtgard life as offering little, except through change, even though the change may be useless, not to say demoralizing. * Because the automobile is better than a horse, it does not necessarily follow that jazz is better than Beethovep. For every mechanical patent found useful at least ten have proved absurd. The elimination lias been made possible through economic law. You just cannot popularize a useless patent. Unhappily, economic law does not apply to amusement, art and recreation. That explains why they run to foolishness even so often. Ringside Excitement A dozen people died of excitement during or right after* thepri2e fight. In view of the fact that fifty or sixty million listened it, probably half a dozen would have .died anyway. Still it is worth recording that at least five dropped dead from heart trouble when the knockdown was announced in the seventh round. As men are brought closer together by improved facilities of communication, they are exposed to shock and excitement. When a nation sits by a prize ring, or a football game, or a disaster, as it can today, we must expect evil results to be magnified with the good. Considering how we are exposed to the effect of speed and power in the work-a-day world, it is rather surprising that toe should strive so hard to make them a part of the recreational world. With subways, there would seem to be less need of roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and shont-the-chutes. With cars clanging, whistles tooting and riVeters making a din, there would also seem--to be less need of jazz. If ever we needed soft music and quiet forms of entertamment, it is now. But the same peculiar quirk of human nature that inspires men to cling to customs and tradition* with which they grew up appears to make them want amusement that have the same characteristics as their toil.

‘Chang’ and ‘What Price Glory?’ Are Two of the Best Photoplays That the Industry Has Made — BY WALTER D. HICKMAN *

"Chang” will go down in movie history as one of the greatest pictures ever made. “Chang" is not a studio product. There is not a movie actor, that is professionally trained, in this gigantic and inti-

mate close-up of life in the jangles of Siam. It re- i quired mahy j months, way over a j year, for the cam- j eramen to photograph jungle life as it is. The movie gets its name from powerful Siam elephants that before they are made beasts of burden by the natives are among real terrors of the jungle. The camera-

sL, * i i ' - fjHt r v ,..- • j? *

Kru

men must have spent month after month in an effort to truthfully photograph the jungle at night. The animals, the wild ones, were not trained, but '‘caught” by the camera as they live in the Jungle. If I had any authority over school children in this city I would make it compulsory for every boy and girl of school age to see “Chang ” Now do not get the wrong imprission* that this is just an ordinary travel movie. It is not a travel movie, but one of the most | powerful dramas of real life that has ever been filmed. Here is jungle life with man trying to combat it, and with nature, very wild nature as expressed in beast and weather, fighting it back. I believe that "Chang” will do more to make American boys and girls to understand and appreciate the advantages of civilization more than any geography that has ever been written. “Chang” is glorified entertainment because it combines those two great qualities-r-entertainment and instruction. It is very seldom that these two qualities can be found in a theatrical offering. “Chang” actually glorifies the screen. The first part oi the movie shows Kru, a native of Siam, pushing away from the villages of the tribe and moving nearer to the heart of the jungle. There we see him build a strange home for his wife and children. The “family” includes a white-faced baby monkey that turns out to be the world’s best natural comedian. This funny monkey *is the wildest sort of a hit, and how that “youngster” can act! He supplies all the comedy that is to be found in “Chang.” Then we see Kru battling with tigers, snakes and other wild terrors of the jungle. Kru gets into trouble when he captures a baby elephant. Then Madam ii-phant has something to say about the matter and when she gets through Kru’s house and the little he owns have been demolished. The greatest scenes in “Chang” are thoSe showing several hundred elephants in a great herd that moves like an ocean through the jungle. These elephants have not been trained for movie work. Masterful work was necessary to drive this wild - herd of elephants into strong pens where the natives hunt-

Movie Verdict CIRCLE “What Price Glory” is the greatest of the war comedy-dramas. A much greater picture than “The Big Parade." APOLLO—“Chang” is the greatest natural movie ever made. .Should be seen by every man, woman and child in this city and State. INDIANA—The present bill measures up to the term of being great entertainment. - OHIO—The Observer found much to rave over in “The Blood Ship.”

I bled the strongest ones of the herd. I am satisfied with the truthfulness of the statement that these elephant scenes in “Chang” are the most wonderful picures of animal life that have ever been taken or at least that I have seen. "Chang" is a positive sensation and should be seen by the entire family. There isn’t a child of school age in this city who should be deprived of seeing “Chang." The bill includes music by Emil Seidel and his orchestra and Ray Winnings at the organ. At the Apollo all iyeek. “WHAT PRICE GLORY?” . IS A MARVELOUS PICTURE To the list of the truly great, great pictures one must in all fair-

ness put “What Price Glory?” mighiy close to the top. Asa stage play, I considered “What Price?” as the one real honest picture of certain phases of var, modern war, that has ever been written following the World War. The stage version was not a pretty play and some of the situations caused certain people to rebel against it. It prob-*

Victor Mac Laglen

afcly’s the strongest strong language piny that has ever been produced. The movie version gets away from the he t language in a sense because the director wisely I did not put in the heat in the subtitles, but permits the actors to so form their mouths so that any one with any sort of a human vocabulary would know what they are saying. War, real war in all of its horror, is the background of this picture. The movie version dwells upon the continual fight of Captain Flagg and Sergt. Quirt over their “skirts,” meaning women. Their biggest fight is over Charmaine, a Frei#:h girl who is not too careful in her love making, but she is‘careful to do a good job of it. There isn’t so much drinking in the movie version as in the play preper, but there is enough to get the idea over. Os course the camera has it all over the stage when it comes to depicting battle scenes and the movie director has been wise in getting all the comedy business over before he sends Flagg and Quirt with hundreds of men into action. These battle scenes become a vital and proper attribute of the movie version. We didn’t have i \uch actual fighting in the stage version. One act was devoted to a cellar where the wounded were being cared for during battle. This scene is important in the movie version, but was qjf course more vital to the stage version. The atmosphere of this movie is so powerful that one becomes actually lost with the vastness of war and yet the personality of the actors in this terrible business is never lost. That of course is due to the genius of the man who directed “What Price Glory?” Louis Wohlheim created the part of Captain Flagg in the stage version and he played the Captain as the roughest and best of the fighters. Flagg is a commanding character. He is harsh. He is cruel and on a minutes notice his great heart causes him even to cry. Flagg understood all there is to the ghastly business of war. He realised what it means to shoot clown mere lads before they have a chance to live. This character knows the red tape of alleged high during war. Flagg has a terrific sense or j humor of the human sort. He was I always ready to fight and cherished one with Sergeant Wuirt. In the version VJdtor MacLaglen is Captain Flagg and he is as much Flagg as

Wohlheim was. And that is a great compliment. Here is a piece of movie acting that is as powerfully real as it can be made. Here is acting that will live through the years. Another great piece of work Is that of Edmund Lowe as Sergeant Quirt. MacLaglen and Low3 were the right choices for these two great roles. Dolores del Rio is the Charmaine and she is much more effective than the woman who was in the touring company with Wolheim. Many of the marine types as well as those of the French villages have been marvelously well chosen. I might as well admit it but I think that ‘What Price Glory?” is a greater picture than “The Big Parade.” That may seem over drawn, but see them both. I believe you will agree with me. “What Price Glory?” is the greatest of the war pictures. Bill includes a news reel and overture by the Circle concert orchestra. At the Circle all week. IT’S A GREAT BILL ON VIEW AT INDIANA I am sure that the majority of those who see the Indiana bill this

week will agree with me that it is | a great bill. Interest is prob- 1 ably evenly divided , between the stage presentation, “To- 1 kio Blues,’’ with Charlie Davis, his j orchestra, Willie Solar and several groups of Japanese artists, and “Hard Boiled Haggerty,” with Milton Sills. Davis gives the jazz touch to Jap- I anese and Chinese music. His orches-

- Milton Sills

tra has a world of novelty stunts this week. Davis is going in for more quiet shading at times, and this is highly effective this week because a pretty little Japanese prima donna is present. Her voice is not strong, but it is of wide range and possesses a lot of tonal beauty. One of the real hits is the tap dancing of three of the Japanese artists. The violin work of one of the Japanese is of high quality. Willie Solar is the only white man in the regular revue cast. Solar is a unique, eccentric funmaker. There is no one quite like him. Last night when I was at the Indiana Solar registered a pronounced hit with his tongue-twisting songs and his eccentric manner of putting them over. He is rightly spotted in this revue, coming on just before the finale. He has mastered the art of getting intimate with the audience the second he walks on the stage. His makeup is as strange as his method of delivery. The Indiana this week has a unique opening bill number. Movies of present day song composers and writers are shown while the orchestra plays parts of their big hits. The movie ends with Charlie Davis, who became famous with his “Copenhagen” some seasons ago- This gives Davis a chance to play this tune on the piano. It resulted in an ovation when I was present. “Hard Boiled Hagsf*rtT is a good vehicle for on Sills. Personally, I like it much better than anything he nas done for a long time. It is a story of the flying men of the World War with Sills acting the role of onq of the star flyers. ‘‘Haggerty” is essentially sentimental and romantic melodrama as Haggerty falls ii\ love with a French girl whom he meets quite by accident. Haggerty is hiding under the bed when the girl is taking a bath. This scene has been cleverly handled from a comedy standpoint. And it is not objectionable, a Molly O’Day is the new leading woman for Sills and she is a cute little trick and she can be a regular whirlwind when she wants to. Bhe photographs easily and well. Rather think you will enjoy seeing

Thumb-Nail Sketches

Cold and stiff from his walk in the winter wind, 4 * old Jock, who was stumbling up to his attic room to go to bed one night, tripped and fell. The other tenants found him lying at the bottom of the staircase, his hip injured and his head cut. Old bones do not heal so quickly —nor so well—as young ones and for months Jock was not able to leave his room. The little hoard of savings he had from his news vending melted in the trying heat of rent, fuel and meals. For fifteen years he had lived alone, cooking his own meals, sewing on his own bachelor buttons. But his accident made him helpless. For a time friends aided him. but, eventually the burden became toe great and they referred his case to the Family Welfare Society. The society saw that he received the medical attention necessary to the healing of his injury, and provided for him until he was once more able to be downstairs and out of doors. During the summer he was able to go back to his paper stand and make his living, but winter again found him in straits. Through his friend, the Family Welfare Society, he was f£iven work as janitor .md furnace man in a private home where he also has a room of his own. Old Jock is still there and happy about it. It was a service that could not! have been rendered by the Welfare Society without YOUR COMMUNITY FUND.

ground of the story. The captain of the Golden Bough reaps the reward of his s c o u n drelness when his boyhood friend comes back from prison to seek his revenge. As the man who was unjustly sent to prison and his wife killed, Hobart Bosworth does a wonderful piece of acting. He plays the part of a man whom the wheel

Hobart Bosworth

of life tried to break, unsuccessfully. Strength of character is in his whole makeup. The object of the brutality of the skipper, Bosworth takes the lead of the picture while not appearing to do so. In fact, he is not introduced into the picture until after some time. i Richard Arlen takes the part of the young man who falls in love with the captain’s daughter and goes to sea in the “hell ship" even after he is told of the conditions that accompany the cruise. His part, while not a strong one is well played and shows much strength in his acting. He is perhaps a bit too carefree for one who is among such persons as the crew is made up of, but shat* may be due to the fact that he is inß love with the young lady. " The making of the film lay in the hands of the man who played the part of Captain (Black Yankee) Swope of the Golden Bough. If ever a man portrayed his character in his face Captain Swope does. His manner is that of the bully and the arrogant r onquerer, who commands all to heed his call. His make up is perfect. Jacqueline Logan has the part oi the girl. The supposed daughter of Captain Swope. Her part only lends glamor to the sordiness of the story, Her acting is vigorous, what there is off it, but the story does not hinge on her, particularly. She is merely the reason for the events that take place. Practically the entire action takes place on the deck or the interior of the “Golden Bough.” A few effective scenes of the San Francisco waterfront as it was in that time are* shown. The parson of the waterfront is one of the characters. The “Knitting Swede” and his cockney runner are others of a more or less historical character. The story, is seems, is based oil piecemeal history of the sea and tales and legends that are connected with it. Some bits here and there throughout the film are familiar in stories of the ships of the clipper period.
