THE season of overturned canoes is here.
NOW they have ended that Chinese war before we found out what it
was all about.
IS THERE any significance in the fact that the Fifth Army corps head
ouarters was taken from Indiana immediately after the defeat of Senator
New? The Senator is a member of the Senate Military Committee, you
know.
Shank and Armitage
Politics “as she is played" in Indianapolis was exemplified Saturday
when Mayor Shank and his chief political adviser, William H. Armitage,
annexed the county organization, thus giving them full control of the
Republican machinery not only in Indianapolis, but in Marion County. The
capture of the organization by the Shank-Armitage forces marked the final
downfall of the faction headed by former Mayor Jewett and County Treas
urer Ralph A. Lemeke, which was so thoroughly beaten in the mayoralty
campaign last year, and it also destroyed the force of the CoSin-Dodson
element, which has been wavering for some time
Mr. Shank and Mr. Armitage are now the powers that must be reck
oned with in Marion County politics, and by virtue of controlling the largest
organization in Indiana and by reason of their close intimacy with Joseph
B. Healing, national committeeman, they have forced themselves into a
dominant position in State Republican affairs.
Mr. Jewett and Mr. Lemeke made a futile attempt to regain their lost
prestige, but they could not overcome the persuasion that a place on the
city pay rolls exercised on wavering precinct committeemen, and when
their pathetic overtures of a compromise were rejected they quickly suc
cumbed. The lavishness with which Mr. Shank and Mr. Armitage disposed
of municipal jobs in order to clinch their control demonstrated to the op
position that they were the victims cf the same merciless and ruthless
system they had so often practiced themselves.
And to show that they entertained no doubt of the absolute control
they exercised over the precinct committeemen, twenty-four hours before
the convention Mayer Shank and his adviser announced the slate of officers
that would go through. They made it plain that the committeemen were
simply being called in to ratify t ieir selections.
Mr. Ryan’s Task
Russell J. Ryan, who was selected Democratic county mairman, is
one of the younger, progressive workers who believes that politics should
have a distinctly wholesome influence upon public affairs. His election
is a good augury and demonstrates that the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party subscribes liberally to the tenets he propounds.
Mr. Manning and Mr Moriarty, his opponents, were both men of
ability sad doubtless would have made excellent leaders, but they be
longed, rather, to the old school, which is giving away in so many places
to the new order of things politic.
Mr. Rryan is faced with a tremendous task and one that will sum
mon up all of the qualities of leadership of which he is possessed. He
must first of all reunite and revitalize the demoralized Democracy of
Marion County in a fighting, compact group that will be capable of meet
ing the Republicans upon their own ground.
In conducting the fall campaign he will have a tower of strength in
Samuel M. Ralston, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, who
will add prestige to the party. Unfortunately for Mr. Ryan and the
- -county ticket as a whole, the hope of welding It into one homeogenoas
mass which would rally all elements of support, has been dis.-ipated by
several men who, to further their own personal desires, have injected the
wet and dry question into the campaign.
Th.s is especially true of the Democratic candidate for Congress and ;
of the majority of the legislative ticket. The ambitions of these men who
persist in deluding their supporters into the belief thay they can bring :
about a modication of the prohibition laws cannot, fail but to embarrass
Mr. Ryan and render his problem much more difficult than it.should be.
The Home Complete
The appeal of the home predominates in every human activity that
deserves the characterization of worthy, and the efforts of the Indian
apolis Real Estate Board in promoting and staging the Home Complete
Exposition can be called worthy. This important group of business men,
in sponsoring the exposition which coened at the State fairground today,
is spreading the wholesome doc trio >f better homes in a way that can
not be forgotten by the thousands mo will visit the exposition.
Indianapolis is rightly called a city of beautiful homes, and it is the
desire of the realtors of this city to keep it always so. For this reason
they are bringing a vital message of better home construction, better
home furnishing, better home keeping and management before the people
of Indianapolis and much of the surrounding territory.
To be able to view at one time so many phases of home building and
home keeping is really a privilege. The exposition, say its sponsors, is
educational. Such is its intent, and the Indianapolis Real Estate Board ;
should be congratulated for Its efforts in making Indianapolis a city of
Teal homes. The moral effect of the exposition will reach the multitude, j
and every citizen will find a personal interest in an exposition of which j
a home is the foundation

Fake Liquor Robberies
Liquor manufacturers greet each ether these days, not with that time
honored “How's business?’ but with the question, “Have you been robbed
recently?”
If the liquor maker has been robbed recently, business is good. Whisky
makers are robbing themselves. Instead of the “cash-and-carry” plan of
doing business, they have adopted a “cash and-steal-it” plan. The money
is paid and the buyer accepts the risks of making his own delivery. All
the manufacturer has to do is take the money and see that the liquor isn’t
too closely guarded.
Most liquor robberies are faked, and the Government knows it. The
big fellow who is being robbed with his own consent gets in no trouble,
while the little fellow who does the retail bootlegging gets soaked, it is
much like some of these sensational jewel robberies which exist only in j
the newspapers. Mrs. Hightone’s SIO,OOO string of pearls has disappeared.
The easy explanation is that robbers made a rich haul. Asa matter of
fact, the Hightones have broken tip the string and sold the jewels. The |
robbery story does away with embarrassing explanations, helps cover up on
the income tax report, and, often, enables the owner 4o collect insurance, j
Distilleries are resorting to much the same tactics. Even a booze I
manufacturer doesn’t relish being arrested and fined or sent to Jail. If !
he is robbed of SIOO,OOO worth of liquor he can pass the buck of responsi-1
bility to the authorities, while the robbers pass the SIOO,OOO to the dis i
tiller. It is a case where Uncle Sam gets the buck and the distiller j
gets the money.
This sort of stealing isn’t in the same class with stealing bread. That I
is a crime growing out of desperate necessity. Liquor robbery is a triple
crime; it is a conspiracy to violate the prohibition law; it is robbery, and
its aim is to enable and encourage others to violate Federal and State
laws. It is a crime to encourage more crime.
And yet, it is astonishing how competent and thorough our officers and
courts are when dealing with bread thieves, and how blindly incompetent
they are when dealing with wholesale liquor robberies. Indeed, none is so
blind as those who refuse to see!
Such conditions add to the crime of bootlogging, a growing contempt
for laws and courts. When justice ceases to be impartial, when there is
one brand of justice for the little fellow and another for the big fellow,
justice no longer commands respect.
Someone isn’t on the job!
Unless the Federal Government wants the Nation to believe that the
prohibition enforcement department is only a first aid for the liquor manu
facturers, It had better stop winking at the wJtsky makers’ new sport of
“robbing themselves.” —W. D. Boyce, in The sffurday Blade.

LOEWS STATE OBSERVES
REVIVAL 44 EKK OF HITS.
There are all kinds of revivals.
Why not a movie revival?
That was the bright idea of Manager
Herb Jennings of Loew s State Theater.
An Idea Is a fact with Jenulngs. So
we are halng Movie Revival "4'cek at
Loew's State this week. If you please.
Mr. Jennings start.d off lbs revival
week yesterday by offering “<b Wives
for New." Today tbe revival film li- Dr
Joky 11 anti Mr. Hyde Tuesday the re
rival film will be "Don't Change Y'mr
Husband." on on Wednesday “Behold
My Wife" will lie the offering On
Thursday "Male and Femaio" will be on
view and on Friday the best flirt of
ninny a year, “The Miracle Man." 1* nn
derlined. On next Saturday. Mae Murray
in “On 44' 11h the Dance" will be the offer
Ing of a revival nature.
Then, in connection with the revival
pictures. Mr. Jennings Is presenting a
brand new one called “The Spanish
•Tade." with David Powell featured The
“Jade" movie |s being shown daily this
week at Loew's, but the revival pictures
are changed each day By observing the
schedule one rail catch another glimpse
of his favoMto.
1 want to call the attention of the
movie fans to the merits of the revival
picture on view today. It Is "Dr. Jckyll
and Mr. Hyde" with John Barrymore
in the dual role. Here Is tine acting,
depressing at times, hut marvelous acting
The directing Is noteworthy. Indeed tin
movie is a dramatic screen epic and not
to lie missed by those who appreciate
Sterling work. The truth Is. that "Dr.
Jckyll and Mr Hyde” is more effective on
the screen than it is on the stage.
Relative to “The Spanish Jade," the
new movie which will be on view ail
week, I am not so enthusiastic. Tn this
movie the heroine suffers so much. Most
of the men In this Spanish movie not'd a
shave. The truth is. “The Spanish Jade"
Isn’t my kind of a movie. You may
rave over It. To me It is only so so.
The thing to lie remembered that at
I.oew’s State this week, many of the
worth-while movies of the last, several
years again will tie reflected on the screen. ,
A good idea, Mr. Jennings.—-W. D. 11.

GRAND OPERA
AND THE MO4IES.
The movie theater is an ideal home for
bits of grand opera.
A movie program is nnd should be |
broad enough to permit of at least the|
occasional presentation of a great aria j
from a standard opera.
This week at the Circle, the prison !
scene from "11 Trovatore," is being pro ;
sented by two singers in a special scenic j
setting. I do not know the name? of t lie j
singers but their work is satisfactory. |
The setting used is pleasing and sug
gestive of the theme of the duet. The
orchestra is splendidly handled.
When the current show was reviewed,
the audience accepted the grand opera
number with marked enthusiasm and if
encores were permitted. 1 have no doubt
that the singers would have “stopped”
show.
'Bits of grand opera as being presented
at. the Circle this week proves the eon
tendon that movie audiences are derm.nd-
• ing the best In music. Give an audience
real merit and merit will be awarded
with popular favor.
The featured movie on the Circle’s bill
this week is "The Primitive Lover.” with
Constance Taimadge, Harrison Ford and
Kenneth Harlan. *
“The Primitive Lover,” evidently was
intended to be a satire on the cave man
type of play. This picture doesn’t give
Miss Taimadge any chance at showing her
ability. Any actress could have played
this foollng-flappcr sort of role as good
as if not better than she. The sub
titles are the best part of this movie.
The scenes showing how an old Indian
Chief "tames" his dozen and then some
wives is the cleverest part of the movie.
In my judgment this movie does not
hit the mark which one has the right
to expect of Constance Taimadge. It
seems that Norma Taimadge is miles
ahead of Connie. 1 suppose I will be
flooded with letters because I am not
“wild’.’ over thts movie. But that's my
opinion. Have your own.
There are numerous other numbers on
the current bill at the Circle.— W. D. H.
“ORPHANS OF STORM”
NOW IN SECOND 44 EEK.
D. AV. Griffith's "Orphans of the Storm"
is now in the second week of its engage
ment at the Ohio. %
Lillian and Dorothy Gish are scheduled
to make personal appearances at the
Ohio In connection with the movie begin
ing this afternoon. It Is announced they
will appear this afternoon nnd evening.
Tuesday afternoon and night.
This Griffith movie belongs to the bet
ter class of movies. It deals with the
! French Reign of Terror. It's historical
details nre carefully worked our. The
acting Is of the characteristic Griffith
type. The settings are lavish, several of
| them being masterpieces of beauty.
The Gish sisters have never been seen
to better advantage than In this movie.
They stand supreme. They have no close
I rivals in the emotional line on the screen.
As has been stated before In thts de
partment, this Griffith picture deserves
the very best possible support from the
public. .

FREDERICK MOVIE REFLECTS
MODERN WESTERN DAYS.
“Two Kinds of Women," the current
attraction at Mister Smith's, gives Pau
line Frederick, who has the leading role,
ample opportunity to display her wares
In a Western movie.
The two kind! of women shown In
the picture are those who “can" and
those who “can’t.” Miss Frederick ably
portrays one who “can." She rides horse
back superbly and even "busts" a wild
one, handles a rifle well. She gives a
modern touch to the picture. She ap
pears In an evening gown when enter
taining guests at a Western ranch.
The picture is taken from a story,
"Judith of Blue Lake Ranch." Miss
Frederick has the role of Judith, who
is part owner of a ranch. She discov
ers that her foreman is putting the
profits of the ranch into his own pock
ets, She hasten? from New York to dis
charge the foreman and tabes over the
management of the ranch herself
The “boys" are reiutcant to be
“bossed" by a woman nnd the ex-fore
man gives her ranch trouble, but she
proves that she can do big and worth
while tliirgs
Oh, yes. there is a foreman who turn?

Radio Amateurs Have Own
Organization Without
Officers.
An organization without officers or
any form of Government Is being con
ducted today by nearly all licensed radio
amateurs of the United States.
It has no name. ’ It was never con
stituted as a body. It has no constitu
tion or by-laws. No meetings.
let it Includes in its membership near
ly every licensed radio amateur In the
country.
This "organization" was in existence
for some time before the war, and has
beeu spreading rapidly since the arm
istice. Any licensed operator may join
it. There is no expense. No dues.
The only way the members keep in
touch with one another is by means of
a pest card system. Each amateur has
hi* own post card on which is printed
his name and address, and, in large type,
Ms station call code. Besides this, the
amateur has a description of his own
sending and receiving set and blank
spaces for remarks and Information for
the fellow member to whom he sends his
card.
OPERATION.
A typical way in which the organiza
tion works is this:
Station “A IX at Cleveland. Ohio, is
transmitting a message on his allotted
short wave length of not more thun 299
meters, to station 511 K at Oklahoma City.
Station 4FD. at MiiTville, Ga., happen*
to be tuned to exactly the same wave
length and g><-s the signals between
BAI X and 511 K.
Every amateur Is eager to learn of the
greatest distance and new areas at which
bis own set can lie heard. In return, he
is just a* eager to let another amateur
know of any distant messages he has
succeeded in intercepting.
Therefore 4FD tills out two cards, ex
plaining the conditions under which he
happened to receive the signals of SAI’X
and oilK. and sends one to e;mh of his
fellow members. Thus. S.-UX and SIIK
are glad to learn their stations were
hoard as far off as Mid i!!e. Ga.
This national ittferirhange of cards
is the only method amateurs have to
learn how far their messages are heard
or how efficient their sets are.
A. R. R. L.
SUPERVISION.
Along the same plans, when one sta
tion cannot get another it happens to be
calling, some intermediate station inter
cepts the message and passes it on.
The federal Government, however, has
r cognized that some sort of supervision
would lave to tie maintain! and over tit.*
relay of such messages. This power of
supervision It ha? turned over to the
American Radii! ltelay League, an er
ganizatiou composed of a large part of
thp licensed amateurs in the country.

A schedule of time allotment for differ
ent radio interests in Indianapolis has
been adopted. Under the new plan of
local regulation approved by Secretary
Hoover, the American Radio League will
in the future regulate radio transmission
and reception hours, district traffic air
cops are to see that every interest obeys
the regulations.
Friday from 5 o’clock in the evening
until 10 o’elock Saturday morning has
been set aside by the radio inspector as
amateur time. In other words Friday
night is amateur night No concert
listeners aro to be recognized on Friday
night. This is for the amateur transmis
sion of messages as outlined in the new
r<- Nations of the Department of Com
merce. The radio inspector has given the
two local broadcasting stations certain
hours fur regular operation and they are
to stay within those hours.
The hours are as follows:
4VLK.
11:00 a. m.-l :00 p. m., six days.
2:00 p. m.-4:00 p. m., six days.
5:00 p. m.-6:00 p. m., six days.
8:30 p. m.-10:00 p. m., Sunday, Tuesdajt
and Thursday.

5:00 p. so.-7:00 p. m. every day. local.
7:00 p. m.-8:30 p. m., quiet. Monday,

Saturday and Sunday, concert listener*,
local stations.
8:00 p. nt.-10:00 p. m Monday. Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Satur
day, also Sunday.
It was agreed that any testing to be
done should be done in the morning be
fore 10 o’clock as this time Is of no
value to long distance stations and all
local stations must have some time for
experiment and adjustment. If the
broadcasting stations or any amateur
wishes to test our, this time in the morn
ing can be used for the purpose.
The above scehdulo has been approved
by the radio inspector. Before the con
cert listeners came into the game the
amateurs had all the time for themselves,
but now they must give up some of their
rights to the novice who listens for
music and nothing else. On the other
hand the concert listener must not get
provoked at the men and boys who en
joy handling messages and sending code.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Be fhou In the fear of the Lord all
day long.—Proverbs 23:17.
Yea. this in him was the peculiar grace.
That before living he’d learn how to
live.
Others mistrust and say. “But time es
capes.
Live now or never.”
He said. "What’s time? Leave NOW for
dogs and apes!
Man lives forever!"
Robert Browning.
