Indianapolis Is fortunate In the quail

American Of the great centers In the
United States. We have few of the
problems brought to other municlpalI-
ties by alien elements. The city showed
front-rank progress in the recent CEN
sus report. 1t Is leading In building
construction and Industrial progress. II
Is not perfection, but Is much nearer
TO that goal than most cities and
should not be libeled and slandered
even by a few llghtwelghts OF little or
no influence.
The residents OF indianapolis know
the truth and are not deceived by the
city's traducers, but the effect on
strangers may be serious and In any
case cannot be Of advantage to any
one. Those whose stock In trade Is de-
struction instead of construction,
hurtfulness instead Of helpfulness. are
pests who should be made aware OF
that fact by the loyal, public-splrited
citizen. They may have to be endured.
but Ii should be In the contempt they
deserve and that will ignore them to
the point OF ostracism.-Indianapo

1.-The Three Musketeers," now at the
| Opera House is predominated by
straight, drama rather than stunts,
nevertheless several very hazardous
feats are shown.
One of these declared by Fairbanks
to be among the greatest risks he ever
took, shows him suspended from
second story window by two straps
tied around his legs at the ankles. AL
though he hangs head down for this
stunt, it does not look TO be as nervy
and dangerous Il hazard as some CT
the others he takes. In spite of this,
however, he nearly had both legs
broken when the men holding the
straps dragged him back through the
window. They were unable to see the
star and when his knees caught on
the cognce of the building they drag
ged with might and main, inflicting
painful injuries before Director Niblo
could stop them.
Today and tomorrow offer the final
opportunities to witness his many
stunts and the truly wonderful pic
ture at the Opera HOuse.-Adv.
