In this picture Mr. Reid portrays two entirely different types of men, one the hero and the other a scheming and villainous crook, and he puts them both over to perfection. A delightful love remance adds much to the interest of the story. Margaret Loom I s is the principal figure in support of the star, and others in the cast are Clarence Geldart, J. M. Dumont, Rhea Haines, Carmen Phillips, Guy Oliver and Fannie Midgel'y. Tom Gersghty wrote the scenario and James Cruze directed. The Mack Sennett comedy, "Don't Weaken," is also making a. big hit Today is the last for the showing of this program. MILTENBERGER (Continued from Page One) stood is taking no hand whatever In the fight over the presidency pro-tem, but the fact he selected Senator Ratts to make an important investigation conveys the Impression that he has a high degree of confidence in Ratts. One report that has been circulated against Ratts is that he- took vthe teeth out of the blue sky law in the last special session. Ratts' supporters deny the truth of this and point to the fact that men like Representative Givan in the house defended the blue sky law after it was enacted. But Senator Nejdl is known as an effective worker in politics. In case the contest between him and Senator Ratts reached a deadlock there is talk that Senator Don P. Strode, a lawyer of Kokomo, may be elected to the senate position. One reason it is said that Governor-elect McCray Is not taking a hand in the senate contest is his great confidenoe in Lieutenant Governor Branch, The governor-elect and the lieutenant governor-elect have, it is said, a perfect understand ing as to legislative co-operation. And since the lieutenant governor is said to be in good physical condition for a legislative siege, the governor-elect is not worrying. It is said in fact, that the Republican managers are counting largely on the senate under the leadership of such men as Lieutenant Governor Branch, Senator Beardsley. Senator Alldredge, Senator Furnas, and others to head off anything that the house may not be able to stop. Legislative Help. The question of legislative help Is one that will receive much attention. The real leaders in both houses, have determined that jobs around the legislature shall not be handed out with that freedom that characterized the action of the Democrats in that memorable session of 1913. In that sessionsion there were so many employes that it was almost impossible to walk v through 'the state hou? corridors without stepping on three or four. Th
-1V
legislative expense of that session was enormous and gave a black eye to the administration of Governor Ralston that he was never fully able to overcome Legislative leaders for the coming session say that only the needed help shall be employed. Evidently this feeling on the part of the party managers has reached the Job seekers, because on the occasion of the recent meeting of the legislators in Indianapolis, there were very few Job seekers around the hotel corridors. It is known that at that time representatives of the Republican state organization were around the hotel corridors keeping an eye on the seekers after minor positions and spreading the word that there would be in this session no spasm of money-spending as there had been in the Democratic session of 1913. Secretary of Senate , There is said now to be some doubt as to who will be secretary of the senate. . Harry Styner of Montmorenci

had been picked for this place and the chances are he would have got it had it not developed a short time ago that he was discharged as assistant fire marshal of the state. Styner has had considerable experience in senate affairs but It appears that the development in regard to the fire marshal place has put him out of the runnins. Some of the legislative leaders think that it is not unfortunate that there will be a new man as secretary. They believe It will be Just as well to have in the position a man who does not enjoy such a wide personal acquaintance with men who may be around the legislature to look after legislation. There is considerable talk now that Zell Swain will be chosen as secretary of the senate. Mr. Swain has had previous experience In a clerical way in the legislature. In the presidential primary campaign he was he manager, of the Hiram Johnson presidential candidacy. Prior to the election he was connected with the Republican state committee and made a rather extensive canvass of the senate. The election of Swain as secretary may also mean the election of Katherlne Smith of Indianapolis as assistant secretary of the senate. Swain has been in the race for the place of assistant secretary. Session Different This session of the legislature promises to be different from previous regular sessions In that there is little likelihood that there will be any stiff contests over moral questions. The switch apparently has been made

from the. moral issue to the economic issue.' Liquor, that potent legislative disturber, . takes a back seat and the problem of taxes comes to the fore. E. S. ShumakeFf superintendent of the Indiana anti-saloon league, will be on the job and it is said will seek to have the dry law strengthened in provisions that will bring the state law up to all of the strong points of the federal enactment. And In this connection it is said, he is interested in the speakership of. the house because the speaker will appoint the chairman of the public morals com.' mittee as well as the chairmen of other committees. But as far as Is known the wet interests are not seeking legislation at this 'session. After two years of bard blows the wet interests are groggy and it appears that those who are seeking legislative entertainment will have to look somewhere, other than in the wet and dry quarter. Consider Roads The big absorbing question for the legislature as It appears now will be the matter of public Improvements and the expenditure of public money. Proposed road building will come in for a great share of attention and the indications are that those organization and individuals who are counting on getting large hauls from the public treasury will be disappointed. The letting of contracts for $1,009,000 worth of public highways in Kosciusko county alone the other day was an i eye opener. Tne Dig demands ror money will be from the school sys-

tem of the state, including the three big institutions, Indiana University, Purdue University and the state normal schools, from the penal and benevolent institutions and from the department of highways. But it is assured now that the demands of all of these will be scanned very carefully.. Already the question of public expenditures has been taken up by senate leaders and Senator Beardsley and others have let it be known that the lid must not be tilted too high. It appears that it will be necessary to do something for two institutions the Central Hospital for the Insane and the Indiana Reformatory. Both of these Institutions have outgrown their equipment. Several Plans Several plans have been discussed, of these contemplates the removal of the reformatory to a place near the penal farm and the central hospital and the establishment of a central power plant for all of them. Under this plan a farm might be bought for the Central Hospital and the colony system developed. Another plan discussed would call for the distribution of many of the patients in the central hospital to other hospitals of the kind in the state. All of these questons are under consideration by the legislative visiting committee and no doubt recommendations will be made by this committee. The visiting committee, it is said, was most favorably mpressed by the equipment and management of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane and the institution at Madison. - Teachers' Salaries Governor-elect McCray has already spoken of the danger of "skimping" the educational institutions of the state but it is likely that the demands of these institutions' will be considerably scaled.

salaries in the common schools for example have reached a point where they can be permitted to remain for a while taking into consideration that the cost of living is on the declne. It is expected that Governor-elect McCray in his address to the legislature will go into all of these questions of public expenditures rather fully. Lieutenant-Governor Branch has visited most of the institutions with the visiting committee and the governor-elect himself has gone to some of them. Governor-elect McCray wishes particularly to establish a record in keeping the state institutions up to a high point of efficiency and yet not depleting the public treasury to too great extent.

Persecution, financial ruin, imprisonment and exile have come in turn to Grand Duke Cyril of Russia during the war, but he told a friend the other day, that a little incident occurring in Switzerland last September was the "most unkindest cut of all."
