Give the Boy a Chance

bull in Massachusetts and, faster than news
can travel along a back fence, all of us he
and she gossps the whole country over lay
down our work tools and begin to discuss the
meaning Of it. For the Trumbulls have a
daughter Not only that, but she's good look
ing girl and she's just about Johnnie's age.
Ah ha See where the wind is blowing? Is he
going to marry her or amt he9
For heavens sake, why don't we get
along about our business and give the boy q
chance!
It's not an easy matter at best, deciding
whether you want to fall in love with a girl
or not. It's harder still deciding whether you
want to marry her. And it ism t any too easy
to avoid falling in love with her, if you decide
you don't want to sometimes it may be even
harder to avoid asking her to marry you. On
the other hand, if you do fall in love with her
and do want to marry her, it ism t always per-
fectly simple to manage that, either.
Suppose, just for the sake of argument,
young Johnnie is all excited over the Gov
ernor's daughter and does want to marry her
That's his business and-correct us if we err
it is darned difficult business. It'll take
all he's got to handle it right. What chance
has he if the whole country, metaphorically
speaking, is going to play Little Brother and
camp in the Governors parlorY

You're wise as can be, go the doc
tors all say. if you use each eight
hours in the 'sposed-to-be way.
The man who sits tight. till his
work hours are through. and does
the best work that he knows how

worry and stew. When work is sue
cessful, your troubles are few.
The strain over labor that piles up

where your system gives way. if
you offset the work by the eight
hours of play. That's how you can
keep nervous breakdowns at bay.
Then. last. but not least. is the
rest that you need. The full hours
of sleep are just planting the seed
that grows you the strength that
will keep you well Keyed to meet
with the toll of your work a-day

Too many folks feel that they're

Have you ever thought how 1.-THE
Sheik' might be played by Pader-
ewski? Or how "June Night" would
sound if it had been written by John
Phillip Sousa?
Those are two of the interesting
impressions that Nelson Waring
pianist, is offering at the Palace the
last half of the week. Warning is
a good pianist. His Paderewski
number is not a lot OF wild gestur-
ing or musical hokum, it is rather
sort Of musical satire. Or per-
haps it is an accurate impression
of the way a concert pianist would
play a popular number. At any
rate, it is interesting vaudeville ma
terial.
A group of, Victor Herbert's mum
bers is among his other selections
which are well chosen and well
played. Waring is rare performer,
a capable pianist who understands
vaudeville.
Inspirations" is the vaudeville
vehicle for Harry Pease and Ed G.
Nelson, popular song writer's. They
are assisted by a very clever young
woman, who acts as the "inspira-
ton. for their song hits past and
present.

And always he hoped to get more light
into the minds of the people about their own
Government He didn't want government Of
b. and for the people to be mere dream. He
wanted to make it an actuality. He wanted to
make Lincoln dream come true.
His career was success because he kept
fighting until the final hour for the cause he
espoused ard because from the day he en-
tered the United States he retained the conf
dence Of his Wisconsin constituents, and could
fight bravely on for the entire country in the
serene knowledge that the people who knew
him believed in him and were back of him.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
STUDENTS AND
| MARRIAGE
BY GAYLORD NELSON

T"1RUSTEES of Indiana Uni
versity recently ruled that
81 a student in the University
who marries and fails to announce
the fact within two weeks after
the ceremony will be liable to
forfeiture of all scholastic credits
made after the marriage.
No doubt secret marriages of
university students should be dis
couraged. In fact most colleges
frown on all undergraduate ma
trimonial ventures-both open and
secret. Many schools expel,
suspend or otherwise discipline
students who wed.
At the university there is every
opportunity for propinquity to get
in its deadly work and probably
1t must be restrained by strong
disciplinary measures. The uni
versity is an educational in
stitution not a matrimonial bureau.
But why should a student who
marries and keeps the disaster
secret be deprived of scholastic
credits earned after the catas-
trophe?
A student who does satisfactory
work in the classroom would seem
logically entitled to credit for
that work even if it was performed
while the student was suffering
from a secret attack Of matrimony,
hives or improving nails. Scholastic
credit measures intellectual attain
ments not physical infirmities and
conduct.

The Success of Robert
NJ. la Toilette
analysis of the career of

TlHOUGHTFUL analysis of the career of
! Robert M La Toilette must result n the
conclusion that he was eminently successful.
He failed in some of his political ambitions,
to be sure. That is, he failed as generally
measure failure. For most people would
thoughtlessly assume that his great ambition
was to be President of the United States; and
in that he failed.
But most people didn't understand LA
Toilette The people of Wisconsin understood
him. His associates in the Senate understood
him. And those who understood him not only
respected but admired him.
The people of Wisconsin, whom he so ably
and honestly represented in Congress, under
stood that instead of being the destructive rad
zeal his political opponents had pictured him
to the public mind, he was constructive con-
servative. For he had worked with the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin long enough before he came
/ to the Senate for them to see that his dreams
Of government for the people were practical;
and that they came true.
Instead of destroying business in Wis
consin by regulation, he not only helped the(
people but placed business itself on a sounder
basis.
His associates in the Senate, on both sides
Of the aisle dividing Senators politically had
worked long enough with him to know that he
was honest, sincere and able and that when he
talked he had the facts and knew what he was
talking about.
When it is understood that La Toilette
had passionate hunger for facts and dug
deep into every question he discussed, it is
easy to understand his reputation for cour-
age. His courage came from conviction, and
his conviction came from a thorough under
standing of the facts.
His eloquence wasn't that of the polished
orator, but rather that of the advocate who had
studied his subject and knew he was standing
on the solid ground Of fact That same trait
was responsible for the fact that he didn t
bend with every gust of the popular wind.
He stood his ground. He knew why, if
the public didn't. And his associates knew he
wasn't demagogue.
La Toilette s mind was too practical to
harbor the delusions that often cause men in
public life to mistake their way. Nobody
knew better than he did that there was little or
no chance for him to be elected President. But
he did hope to help bring back his party to the

DAM MING THE
TRICKLE

GERT MORGAN, Federal
Prohibition Director OF In
III diana, is elated over the
conviction in Federal Court this
week of propr!etors of two Indian
apolis malt extract stores selling
home brewers supplies.
The convictions establish n prec-
edent that will help prohibition
enforcement, he believes. Perhaps
so.
There are from 1900 to 1000
malt extract stores-in which
malt, hops. bottling equipment.
etc, are sold-operating in Indi-
ana But it is doubtful IL all of
them were put out of business
the liquor situation in the State
would be greatly improved.
Ever since the prohibition law
went into effect hopeful. amateur
horne brewers have been at work.
Very few of Them became accom-
plished brewpiasters. Most of the
stuff turned out by them is pallid
alcoholic. but hardly potable.
The home brewer is not much of a
menace in this State.
The source of most of the Illicit
liquor consumed in Indiana is in
dustrial alcohol-and that Is the
principal source OF supply of much
of the so-called liquor consumed in
the country.
Before the war the normal an
nual consumption of grain alcohol
In the United States for industrial
purposes was 25.O0O,O00 gallons.
During the war peak consumption
rose to $4,000, 900. After the war
it dropped back toward normal,
but in 1923 it rose to 10000, 900.
Grain alcohol is indispensable In
industry, it's legitimate uses are
manifold. Bat now more than
twice the amount needed by indus
try is being produced in the coun-
try. Obviously about half of the
production must be going down
the American throat, as counter
felt Scotch. Bourbon and Rye.
Putting the malt extract vendors
and home brewers out of business
won't dry the country. That's
merely damming The trickle, and
ineffective as long as the flood
Of industrial alcohol flows I'M
checked.

THE PERSISTENT
BOOTH MYTH

7EV. J. w. POTTER of Ko.
TX komo, in a recent address
declared John Wilkes
Booth, Lincoln's assassin, was not
slain by his pursuens a fortnight
after the crime-as history records
but escaped. He would correct
history.
According to the usually ac-
cepted story, Booth was trapped
in CARROTS barn, in Virginia, by
a detachment of soldiers and shot
while resisting capture. He died
April 26, 1865, and his body was
taken to Washington.
According to the Rev. Potter,
the story is all wrong. He says
Booth escaped, made his way
across the Mississippi into Texas.
Eventually in Enid, Okla, where
he posed as a painter under the
name of David e. George. he COM
mitted suicide in 1903-almoet
forty years after Lincoln's death.
All very interesting, If true.
But what are the facts?
The persistence of the Booth
legend caused the Dearborn indie.
: pendent to undertake an investi.
cation which extended over two
years and ran down every clew
The results have recently been
published-and they explode the
myt hthat Booth escaped to live to
a ripe old age.
Some one was killed in CARROTS
barn. The underclothing on the
body bore Boothe's initials. Wal
let, knife, and personal effects
found on the dead man were posi-
lively identified as belonging t.
Booth. The corpse. after remova
to Washington was positively iden
titled by a number of reputable
persons who knew Booth.
The evidence seems conclusive
that the man shot in the barn was
John Wilkes Booth. But what Il
he wasn't? Both the supporter:
of the myth and the historic yer
sion agree on one point-that
Booth is dead. Anyway the i'm
portant fact Of history was the
assassination Of Abraham Lincoln
not the end Of his assassin.

bank robbery.
In the days IF Jesse James. the
Dalton boys and the Younger
gang, the bandits swept in and
out Of town astride foam-f1ecked
horses. The pursuing posse also
galloped after them a-horseback.
Now the bandits use "high-pow-
cred automobiles" and the pur-
suers propose TO use airplanes.
But the mode of pursuit is rela-
lively unimportant. The essen
tia thing is the treatment of the
robbers after they are caught.
The galloping posse of former
days certainly dealt effectively
with bandits. Now we chase 'em
with airplanes, then after capture
we slap them on the wrist and
parole them in a few minutes. Is
that effective?
