JUDGE BEN LINDSEY'S
MESSAGE TO PARENTS


The Poplar Standard conveys
to its readers a few of the high
spots of the remarkable lecture
delivered at Poplar last week by
Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver.
The Standards story follows:
Modern youth is not a wormy
apple; it is not a reckless gesture.
1t is frank, inquisitive; and it
thinks and that, according to
Judge Ben Lindsey, who lectured
here Wednesday night and who
knows his modern youth far more
thoroughly than any parents

the next. That, and tolerance.
And with his black eyes snap
ping and even his coat tails in
animation, the little judge who
since 1899 has dealt with the re-
lationships of life through the
juvenile and family courts of
Denver, declared that morality isl
largely a matter of biology and
that education is the first remedy.
Parent Problems
Education of the parents he
would make compulsory because
he believes that all child problems
and the parent problem becomesl
a social problem. And the judge
who has heard the troubles and
mistakes of more boys and girls
than perhaps amy other person,
declared with confidence that re-

AGE AND ROMANCE

Over the wires Saturday came the news OF
two weddings which really news because of the
age of the parties involved well as their promi
nence. ~
An opera singer, whose golden voice has thrilled
thousands, and who once commanded $4,000 a night
for four songs, before whose art and melody the
great of the world, from presidents to kings have
bowed in homage is to marry.
Youth, as far as years are concerned, has gone
from her. She>frankly gives her age as go years.
The who wishes her is little less than half that
age
He insists when his parents and friends try to
stop his marriage to IAN old woman" that he loves
her voice and her SOUL the beauty of her dreams
For him the wrnkled cheek and the whitened hair
do not exist ~
And for her, he brings back the romantic hours
when dreams were new and when men sobbed as sho
broke their hearts with her melody.

they term very foolish effort to grasp again the In

YOUR MA IS SENTIMENTAL.
BUT SOS YOUR OLD MAN
BY Mrs. Walter FERGUSON

Do newspapers cater to women readers? This is
ths reason, prominent editor for the excessive
publicity given to the fitness and death of Rudonb
Valentino. ..
Certainly women read newspapers more than ever
Derore And most of them little for the stock
market reports political prophecies Having mind
brought up details they are not content with large
and sweeping facts They want every triing incident
in every sob story and murder mystery
And so long as they continue to do much mora
than half the buying in the country it seems only inst
and reasonable editors should appeal to their
tastes in the news columns.
y great many women grieved when Rudolph VAL
entino died. This is not because was handsome and
screen star and the thing in clothes To
them he was the perfect lover something none of them
has had.
For woman is an Unsuitable romanticist She lives
in dream world and above all things else she longs
to he loved with an affection which can neither he
measured destroyed.
Underneath her calm and often middle aged ex-
terror, she hugs to her heart romantic dreams Her
soul into the infinite searching for something to
satisfy itself.
To such women Valentino was something more
than mere movie actor He was the lover that lives
only in the dreams of women. He typifed the thing
for which every feminine soul ongs-the love that can
not exist upon transitory earth
Thus we admit to the charge of sentimentality
But in accusing of such poise are not the
men merely clustering while they too hide such ro-
mantle sensations under a cold exterior?
When 1t comes to being sentimental the men trail
right along after the only they refuse to ad
init the truth Investigation would probably prove that
the men read the stuff about Valentino with as much
gusto the women We are very much alike whom it

PASS THIS AMENDMENT

Whatever happens in the November election, let
q be hoped that the first of the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution will be carried emphati'
3cay.
1t provides that the Legislature may provide for
ELECTION Of all judges at elections separate and apart
from the election Of other officers.
1t is the first and necessary step to take the
courts out Of politics.
Only the most guileess and trustfu would be-
lieve that there is not very close relationship be-
tween the courts and the politicians, especially in
Marion County.
1t is one of the sad commentaries Non conditions
in this county that lawyers understand that when
certain law firms represent clients before certain
judges that they have chance of prosecuting
case, matter how just.
1t is one of the shameful conditions that even
lawyers accept such situation without protest.
1t is accepted as part of our system that men
who want favorable actions in some courts see po
itical BOSSES not attorneys and rely upon jugglery
not justice, to win.
1t is not the best recommendation for impartial
justice that certain law firms known political
firms" always called in when something than
evidence and precedent are needed to win
That situation comes from the fact that Judges
forced to depend upon politicians and political
bosses for their nominations and elections.
1t comes from the combination of the judicial
election and partisan politics.
We expect judges to be impartial and yet select
them because they Democrats or Republicans not
because they are honest, intelligent and learned in
the law.
We pick them because of their ability to get
votes and expect them to affront their friends, If
these friends happen to have cases before them.
The election of judges at partisan elections is
an open invitation to injustice partially and
ruption.
That there is not more is the surprise. And yet
there Is much that a special Judge recently
leased prisoner brought before him because he
the only one that day for whom politician had
whispered plea outside of court.
This amendment will make it possible to elect
judges some other than a partisan basis.
It forced by public indignation at present
conditions and will be fought by the politicians and
the bosses who look upon courts and judges assets
in politics.
Watch the candidates for office. Whenever you
find candidate for any Office fighting this amend
ment, make up your mind, unless you want crooked
courts and coerced judges that he will not represent
your interests.
And vote and urge your friends to vote for this
amendment.

, DEMOCRATIC TAX PROGRAM

1t may be true, as some Democratic national
leaders declare that President Coolidge and Secre-
tary Mellon Withholding tax reduction now in
order to have such reduction come in 1928 for the
good it will do the Republican presidential ticket
If that is all there is in the situation Democrats
are justified in proposing to force the reduction dur
ing the coming session Of Congress. Their purpose,
in part at least, is to obtain the political credit
They seem incapable of learning that every time
they improve the tax situation they strengthen Cool
idge politically Coolidge gets the credit no matter
whether he reduces taxes voluntarily or is dubbed
into doing it.
However the Democrats would be justified in
forcing further reduction If 1t would serve public
policy and the business of government can be carried
on with less money.
But one factor in the proposed reduction seems
to be plan to use money received as payments on
wartime debts from European countries The pres
emit policy is to use such to retire our own war
bonds. The Democratic leaders are talking of ex-
tending the time for the redemption Of these bonds
in order to reduce taxes. They would pass the ex-
penses of the war along to later generations.
And that is wrong Later generations will have
their own troubles. The recent war wasn't their
war; They may have intelligence enough to prevent
another such holocaust If they have they shouldn't
be burdened with the ex pense of ours
Reduce, Of course, if the Government doesn't
require the money but long as our present war
time debt hangs us, the Government does need
the monay.

DAN FITCH's MINSTRELs
OPEN AT PALACE

Opening with the order Of the old.
time minstrel show Dan Fitch's Min.
strels this week have changed things
a bit and give us an entire bill with
their own company instead Of the
varied acts, as is the usual policy
Of the theater.
After the minstrel opening the act
splits up into number of different
specialties by the men present.
First is a tap dance by two men.
1t is an excellent example Of thisa
type Of work Next is a southerA
number in which we are transplantS
ed into the cotton region Of the
South. In this we are given touch
OF an "Old Black Joe" theme and
quite a bit of comedy is worked in.
Next in order is a quartet. The
men have splendid voices and were
called back several times at the time
Of review.
The next big comedy event was a
very clever impersonation Of Moran
and Mack, those two famous black
face comedians. These two men have
style and method that is hard to
copy, but Mr.. Fitch and his partner
in the number have succeeded ad-
mirably in catching the spirit Of the
two original comedians. They have
laughs galore. Much of their stuff
has been lifted bodily, apparently,
and Is just as good from these two
men as when / heard 1t originally.
In succession we have some num-
bers by an orchestra, an impression
Of Harry Lauder and the browning
comedy event Of the act, burles-
que impersonation Of q, pair of Span
ish dancers in black face. This bit,
to me, Is original as / have never
seen H. done in this way before and
it certainly packs a big wallop in
the way Of fun.
Included on the bill is a photoplay
