LOOKING OVER
NEW BILL AT PALACE

Beautiful Lake Minnetonka. out
in Minnesota, was the inspiration
and theme Of very colorful sketch
and song in an act at the Palace
today and tomorrow.
The act. Authors and Compos-
ers," is composed of members who
are especially gifted in a musical
way. Three pianos are used in
the act and are featured in a piano
duet.
Aod Walton's Revue possesses an
orchestra that Is the real article
in quiet melody. The two dancers
are excellent. An Apache dance fea-
tured in the act was worth almost
a whole afternoons time in itself
Also featured was a violin solo by
the orchestra leader.
Gordon and Gates have an act
full of comedy, mostly of the slap
stick kind. In the words Of the
woman, the man is a nut"
Bill includes Prof. Kiyooso Nal1ao
in an exhibition Of Jiu jitsu wrestling
and Currier and McWilliams in
songs. dances and comedy. Also a
movie, without Mercy with Vera
Renolds.

ELEVATING
THE LAWYERS

@EORGE o. DIX, OF Terre
Ii Haute, president Of the In
III diana State Bar Association.
addressing recently a gathering Of
lawyers. urged higher standards
in the legal profession and efforts
of attorneys to clean up the bar.
PROFESSIONALLY the legal profess
sion is in disrepute. There are
too many obvious miscarriages of
justice, too much aid, comfort and
encouragement given professional
criminals and gunner of astute,
unprincdpled lawyers. Too many
lawyers are known for their abil-
ity to delay and defe' justice.
1.-THE time is ripe says Dis
trict Attorney Olson of Chicago,
'for somebody to inquire just
where a lawyers duty ends, and
his criminal responsibility to the
community begins"
Nobody apparently loves the
tricky, unethical attorney who
willingly prostitutes law and JUS
tice for fat fees-except his clients.
But the profession has always con-
tanned such lawyers. The late
Cicero of Rome never worried
about the justice of the cases in
which he was retained. He was
out to save his clients no matter
how guilty.
1t Is doubtful If bar associations
can purge themselves of their
tricky, disreputable members. AS
long as such lawyers are in de-
mand there will be supply.
1t is to the courts rather than
the bar associations that society
must look to elevate the standards
Of the legal profession.
Few notorious criminal lawyers
get their regulations from prac-
tice in Federal Courts. Federal
Judges cramp their style by i'm
patience over technicalities, delays
and smol1e-screen tactics.
1t is State courts, where trial
judges instead Of exercising real
authority in the cases before them
merely enact the role of referee TO
see that opposing counsel observe
the rules, that permit unethical
lawyers to flourish A little lime
in the spinal columns OF State
judicial systems would abate the
evil.

Creation Of a vast downtown park
ing place under the War Memorial
Plaza is proposed in a letter Mr..
Fixit received today.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT-Did you ever
think about the plans being made
for the Memorial Plaza? What's the
matter with dropping all east and
west streets under the ground, let
ting each entrance come out far
enough back so as not to block the
north and south streets? Then put
in parking ground under the Plaza
making 1t as large as possible.
A little common sense along with
the many dollars spent would do a
lot Of good.
HOOSIER TRAVELLING MAN.
Your idea strikes Mr.. F'ixit as
sensible. Car owners working
downtown are entitled to uninter-
rupted parking during business
hours. The suggestion will be re-
ferred to the city plan commission.

TRAINING
YOUTH AT HOME

|" OUTHS are not receiving
I proper training in the home
- these days, three Marion
County officials-Judge Lair,
Judge Collins and Prosecutor
Remy-told an Irvington audience
Sunday night.
At another meeting in the city
the same day Senator Ferris of
Michigan said the same thing. He
pleaded for return to the old
fashioned principles of home life
such as characterized the simple,
pioneer epoch.
It's a dull day when some pub
lie speaker doesn't peel the var
nish off the modern home. It is
blamed for the juvenile crime anc
all the ills that aff1ict society.
Perhaps the blame Is deserved.
Certainly home life is not the
same as IT was in the days when
the family gathered around a
coal oil lamp and read Pilgrims
Progress" of an evening. 1t has
become more complex and dis
tracing.
Now the family circle Is gen.
orally a balloon tire.
But probably homes today are
turning out as many youths with
sound character and solid virtues
as did the old-fashioned homes
that are now so much lauded. The
parents Of today were the chill
dren trained in those old-fashioned
homes. If they are allowing their
sons and daughters to go spectacu-
larly to the dogs there must have
been something faulty with their
own youthful home training.
Herbert Hoover says the high
est standard of living conditions
''in all history" now prevails in
this country. We can't go back
to the old-fashioned homes and
social conditions Of a previous
generation if we would.
The training Of youth is a home
task-a hand industry. Success or
failure depends, as always, on in
dividual parents. The job Is being
performed as well in some mod
ern flats with radios, incinerators,
and all modern conveniences as
IL ever was in some pioneer log
cabins.

The Picture Changes

THE picture you have of bootlegging may
include a lean aWed, hard-faced young
man speeding through the night in high
powered car along one Of the roads leading
from the border, with bullets speeding after
him.
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania has a
different picture. To encourage the Anti
Saloon League in it's belief that prohibition
may yet be made fact, he described in his
Chicago speech some phases of bootlegging
that make the hard young man seem unimpor-
tant. One story, typical of several told by
the Governor, was this:
Last winter he related in a special message
to his Legislature that Federal permits for de-
natured alcohol were granted to Philadelphia
cigar makers in quantity sufficient to meet the
needs Of all the cigar factories in America.
Ut seems cigar makers spray their tobacco
with the stuff.)
Only few weeks after he had pointed this
out he said, Commissioner Haynes, at Wash
ington, authorized BORROW Bros, Inc, cigar
manufacturers in Philadelphia, to withdraw
$4,000 gallons of denatured alcohol per month
That would be 100000 gallons q year, more
than enough to treat the entire tobacco crop
Of the world. For eighteen years, up to the
issuance of this astounding permit by Com
missioner Haynes, BORROW Bros, according to
Pinchot, had used total of just $3.50 worth
of denatured alcohol.
The Governor explained then how dena-
tured alcohol finds its way into the bootleg
booze channels.
The country was edited for several weeks
by the spectacle of the United States Coast
Guard maintaining an armed blockade off the
New York and New Jersey coasts to keep
the Scotch out of the United States. A great,
though expensive, victory was announced not
withstanding it still appears possible to buy
Scotch in New York at about the same prices
that prevailed before the coast guard was di-
verified to the prohibition war The alleged
success of the coast guard caused lot of loose
talking on the possibility Of using two other
branches of the Government-the Army and
Navy.
And all the time, if Pinchots facts are
correct, it seems that the proper place to have
trained the guns not scudding targets
along the twelve-mile limit, but on the desk
in Secretary Melons department., where the
prohibition commissioner sat blandly issuing
permits to cigar makers, perfume makers and
the like, who were daily passing along enough
alcohol to saturate the whole country.

IN REAT philosophy can come
y ii only from a great and big
LII character.
1t is not surprising that the late
Thomas r. Marshall, Vice President
under President Wilson. could write
big and beautiful story Of his ex-
periences in life.
In Indiana he was md always will
be spoken Of as Tom Marshall, a
man who lived a beautiful life be-
cause he believed that right living
was the only plan Of life.
Out of that conviction and daily
habit, Thomas r. Marshall gave to
the world and to his fellow men a
character that will never vanish
from history or now will be erased
from the memory Of men.
In "Recollectlons Of Thomas R.
Marshall" also spoken of as "a Hoo
sier Salad" just published by the
Bobbs- Merrill Company of this city,
the late distinguished Hoosier has
written a great book because 1t Is
about a great man.
These recollections will be relished
by all citizens of this State, regard
less of political faith as we'll as in
Washington, D. c., and any other
place, because the world seems to
be spoken to by Marshall in this
book.
Influences Of his own life were
not bounded by the confines Of the
State of Indiana, the boundary
seemed to be not along national
lines but by the entire world.
World Contact
BY his position as vice president
during the illness OF the late Presi-
dent Wilson, Mr.. Marshall was the
representative Of all American people
to the foreign delegations to this
country.
In his foreword to his book, Mar.
shall claims that he did not intend
this book ito turn the tides of
history nor to change the opinion Of
men as to the great things which
took place when I was in public
life. 1t has been written in the hope
that the tired business man, the I'M
successful golfer and the lonely hus-
band whose wife is out reforming the
world may find therein a half hour
surcease from sorrow"
The purpose of the book is in
keeping with the philosophy and
character of the man who wrote it..
Marshall tells his own story from
the early days until he retired from
national life. Men who have been
agreat in the history of Indiana were
friends of Tom Marshall and they all
appear in these memoirs. Many have
passed on and others are still in
the harness"
Mr.. Marshall although he was
noted for his keen wit does not APP
pear as a comedian and never has.
He did not laugh at life but his
