I have something on my chest and !
must get rid Of 1t.
II concerns the selecting OF plays for
the municipal theaters Of Indianapolis.
Only one is in existence st the present
time, but the second one Is to be opened
on July at Garfield Park.
Too much care cannot be exercised IN
the selecting Of plays 10 be presented by
the city players. / think It ia danger
Gus and bad policy to present too many
OF the 40, % and 30-cent' pelodramatlc
plays. 1t must be remembered that all
tho taxpayers are paying the bills and
not one group. The "mellOdramer' lovers
are not in the majority.
II is just as bad policy to present too
many Of the o-called high class" plays,
but II Is my conviction that every play
presented In a municipal theater should
present at least some degree Of merit.
1t is all right FOR those to say, who
have the destiny Of the city owned
thcater In their hands, Give the people
what they want" but one must be sure
on what actually constitutes the great de-
sire Of the public.
Personally. l am in favor Of the Stu
uicipal Theater Idea and I feel Justly
proud that indianapolis IS paving the

tending the so-called melodrama3 pre-
sented at Brookside Park has beet very
heavy.
Carlton Guy, who is in charge Of the
city owned thea ters. told me recently that
he has been somewhat handicapped for
the lack Of funds with which 10 pay
royalties on plays. This need should not
DO overlooked by those who have the pow
er to appropriate money for park enter
tainment. l feel that the success or the
failure II the Municipal Theater here
rests TO a large extent upon the value OF
the plays presented.
Even II the city Is paying the bill. we
have the right to demand of the actors in
the Municipal Theater the same serious
purpose ana careful study which we ex-
pect In the regular theater. The city
owner theater AZ Brookside Park is EN-
ploying professional players, not begin
ners
Personally. I am expecting hig things
Of the Municipal Theater,. but only
worthy plays should be presented. Blood
and thunder plays have no place on the
program OF the city owned theater.
Money must be spent for royalties so
the hest plays may be presented in the
parks.

U. s. TROOPS ALONG BORDER ARE
ORDERED HELD IN READI-
NESS FOR EMERGENCY
AUTHORITIES ARE WATCHFUL
AS Reports Are Received That
Rebels Are Preparing To
Seize City Of Jaurez.

hington.-Growing unrest in
northern Mexico has caused orders to
be given for all American troops
along the border to be held in readi.
ness for any emergency, it has been
learned at the War Department.
While Secretary of War Weeks and
the General staff are keeping a
watchful eye on the situation, matters
thus far have been left entirely in the
hands of Maj. Gen. John L. Hines,
commanding the Eighth Corps area,
and Brig. Gen. Robert L. Howe, in
command of the border patrol of cav.
airy.
The order for troops to be prepared
was issued, following representations
by Americans living along the border
who have expressed alarm over an in
creasing tendency to lawlessness by
border gangs.
Authorities in the vicinity of El
Paso have been especially watchfu
since the flare-up in that vicinity on
the night of February 8, when band
Of armed men, believed to have been
Mexicans, crossed over from the
American side and burned three rail
road bridges and attempted to hold
up the Mexico City Express.
Secretary Of War Weeks has under
consideration many petitions from
American property holders in Texas.
Arizona and New Mexico, who urge
that the number of soldiers assigned
to the border should be increased
With the reduction in the American
Army of Occupation in Germany, or.
dered by Secretary of War Weeks, il
is believed likely that. some of those
troops will be sent to the border az
rapidly as they become available. II
all the troops to be released in Ger
many were to go to the border, there
would be approximately 5000 men
available, cutting down by half the
present depletion in the ranks of the
border units, which now have 22,0G0
men as their total strength when they
should have $4,000.

Information Will Be Sought BY The
Governor From The Different State :,
Departments And Subdivi
sons In General

Baton Rouge, La.-Steps have bee
takeniby Governor Parker to ASSEMBLE
all Information obtainable concerning
= the available supply of roadbuildini
material in Louisiana
The purpose of the governor il
assembling this information is to ia
cilitate the work of the new high
way department and to enable tht
Legislature to define the policy o
the state in dealing with the ques
tion of roadbuilding material
Facts and data sought by the gov
ernor will be in the nature of a sur
vey or inventory of highway con
struction supplies. 1t will take IL
all classes of material, such as grav
ell, rock and shells, as well as rocl
and shale that will make cement.
The survey will show the loca
tions, quantity and quality of the
materials and the proximity to rail
and water transportation.
"One of the important reasons for
assembling this information" Cover.
nor Parker said, sis that it will show
the proximity of material to the high.
ways to be built and maintained.
When suitable material is available in
section where highway is to be
built. it is good business and COM
mon sense to use material in that
locality, when it comes up to require
ments, instead of making a long haul
and piling up freightacharges. With
this information assembled in proper
form, the state viii be in position
to construct and maintain highways
at minimum of cost"
The constitution authorizes the
state to appropriate property in or
der to secure material for roadbuild-
ing purposes
Information will be sought by the
governor from the different state de-
partments and subdivisions and from
citizens generally. When the Legis-
iature assemblies, an facts obtained
by the governor will be laid before
that body.
Fred ]. Grace, register OF the state
land office, said the state owns large
quantities of roadbuilding material.
consisting mainly of gravel and sand
within the banks and beds of streams
and bodies Of water. Under the con.
stitution the state is the sole owner
Of all this latter class of property
which can be leased, but not sold.
Il know of places" Mr.. Grace said.
where there are large quantities Of
the best quality Of gravel within the
banks of streams that are navigable.
Dipper dredges can load this gravel
on barges and it can be transported
to localities where highways are to
be built at small cost"

MORE BLUNDERs IMMINENT
Germany's High Officials Placed In
Office BY The Working Man
Have Turned Against Them.
Crisis Is Near.

Berlin.-The Wirth government ha:
Reichstag, but there is trouble in tn,
| state.
Germany's Industrious people are
threatened with dark days Not unit
| the cunning arts of vanity and lying
| in high places are wrecked on the
rocks of naked truth, will the menace
disappear.
Germany's high officials, placed in
! office by the working man, have turn
ed against him and are reveling by
night while a misery-bred strike is
stopped by threats of wholesale ar
rests and dire punishment. More re
pressive measures are threatened
than ever an imperial government
would have dared to utter.
Meantime this same government of
the people is seeking an industrial
millionaire to become German ambass-
ador at Washington. They want
some one with lots of money to
spend"-as if Americans would not
have greater respect for a more simple
ambassador who would refrain from
all state dinners and ceremonies,
openly showing himself the repre-
sentative of conquered and poor ma
ton, suiting his expenses to his
country's debts and obligations.
But that is in keeping with the
times in Berlin. Chancellor Wirth
and Foreign Minister Rathenau were
attending a fancy dress bali at the
British embassy the very evening
the recent industrial strike began.
German ministers have no right to
attend balls and festivities given by
foreign diplomats while their gov
ernment is whining about Germany's
poverty, its approaching bankruptcy,
and it's inability to pay the repara-
tions claims.
Foreigners will not respect these
ministers nor believe Germany's trag-
ic situation until they adopt stand
ard of life betitting people with such
a heavy debt hanging over them.
The Wirth cabinet, although unpro-
ductive and potentially poor, and
weak, was nevertheless bearable be-
cause of the leaders apparent good
faith, until Walter Rathenau joined it.
This talented business man and di-
who, organized his own re-
nown with comparable skill, managed
in the years agone to get the kaiser's
high favor despite his Jewish origin.
He worshipped Ludendorff as Ger
many's only genius" and called the
armistice a crime. j
This Minister Rathenau, who called
upon the Germans to rise en- masse
to war, who prophesied sure victory
for German arms in 1918 and then
helped the Munich Soviets, now calls
himself Republican-Dem and
the confidential friend of Lloyd
George.
