RESPECT
DEBS' BIER
Body of Socialist Leader
Lies in State at Nor
tuary Here.

A thousand friends and admirers
Of Eugene V. Debs went unostenta-
tiously to the funeral parlors of
Flanner & Buchanan between 8
and o Saturday night and paid their
final respect to the remains lying
in state for the last time before Gre
nation. The body was brought here
to be cremated.
A hidden organ poured forth soft
and solemn music as the throng
passed the bier and gazed for the
last time upon the face of the dead
idealist. To some in that throng the
loss was that of a great leader in
the cause of Socialism, to others a
friend of the laborer, while to many
he was a Hoosler in the best tradi-
tons of kindness and brotherly
love, courageous in his convictions
and willing to make a sacrifice for
his ideals. To all the loss was great
and was shown by many a tear-filled
eye and voice. hoked with emotion.
Many persons from out of the
city journeyed here. with the same
ardor as a pilgrim to shrine. Those
who came were serious in their COM
ing and on each face there was
marked respect. Local Socialist
leaders formed Il guard of honor
about the coffin. Relatives and
friends had accompanied the body
from Terre Haute, where the last
rites were held Saturday afternoon.

Clumsy Laws

The Sacco.Yanzetti case illustrates
nothing more wildly than the clum-
siness of American law.
After five years of noisy and ex-
pensive fioundering, 1t is right where
the Jury left 1t.
A verdict of guilty still stands, but
not to such an extent that the State
Of Massachusetts is ready to carry
It out.
Judge Thayer's recent opinion
denying a ntw trial does not bring
matters to a head by any means, as
1t will have to be argued before the
Supreme Court II counstl for the de-
Tense files a bill Of exceptions.
We spend three or four weeks de-
termining whether a person has dis
obeyed the law by committing n
crime, and then take three or four
years to determine whether judge
and Jury disobeyed the law by MAX
ing some blunder.

Why the bending of every effort to suppress /?
Why the delay in permitting Stephenson to be seen

UNCTUOUS SAM

Who says the tariff question, international eco
nomcs and things like that dull? They've given
the world the best laugh of the week.
Two or three days ago ]. Pierpont Morgan and
other big bankers and business representing
some fifteen or sixteen countries, issued signed
manifesto against high tariffs.
They hinder international commerce, said the
paper. They slow down imports and exports. They
paralyze industry. They increase the cost of living
They unsound economically How can foreign
nations pay what they If we erect customs
barriers to curtail trade? Tow can we sell our
products to them If we never buy anything from
them? Let's lower tariffs!
Half the bombs in Christendom going off in a
bunch would not have caused the CONSERVATION in
political Washington that this manifesto did. Con-
ference followed conference, Could it be that big
business was deserving the good old Ship High
Tariff? Say not so,
All Of sudden the panic subsidized. Somebody
explained that though signed by Americans and
though the lower tariff plea spoke of 'us and 1--WE"
all the way through, it real ydid not mean Gus"
at all. We had no intention Of lowering our own
tariff, the highest Of any, Certainly not! We were
just telling the rest of the world to lower theirs.
"Oh, well, that's diferent!" Washington Off
Gals explained with gusty sigh Of relief and
slowly comprehending grin. Yes, sir, we're all for
it. That's gran manifesto, Doesn't Europe know

A Pretty little Game

ID. G. Stephenson having been
made safe for interviewers, Tom
Adams is permitted to talk with him.
What a change two weeks have
brought about.
Then Stephenson was clamoring
to talk from his prison cell, and
everybody was clamoring to hear
him, but the Governor and the war
den said no.
Now that he has given up the
idea of talking and the people
have given up the idea of hearing
anything worth while before. election,
the Governor and warden are all
smiles Of welcome.
"Come right in" they say, land
meet this gentleman. See for your
self how harmless he is and how
unnecessary was all the pother."
A pretty little game, and quite
in keeping with all that went before.
The Khan may have ceased to be
a power in Indiana, but the poll
ticians who rode into office on it's
back have not.

World Gets Ahead Not by
Mental, Physical
Brawling,
By NJ. e. Tracy

ANY man engaged habitually in
controversy, as have been for
twenty years past says Henry
Mencken, must enter upon his de-
clining days with a melancholy
sense Of its hollowness and futility."
Henry is frank. if a little slow.
Many a poor soul. whom he would
classify as moron, has come to that
conclusion in half the time.
Controversy has been glorifled out
of all proportion. largely perhaps,
because the last forty or fifty gen
erations have been stuffed with
Cicero and Demosthenes.
julius Caesar made himself master
Of Rome, while the former bawled
at Catalina and Phillip bought up
the Athenian politicians while the
latter delivered his thunderous ap-
peals to an audience that would do
nothing but cheer.
You don't get very far with ideas
that can't be translated into some
thing more serviceable than words.
Controversy trains the mind, Just
as boxing or wrestling train the
body, but the important thing is
what are they being trained for.
If controversy Is an end in itself,
so is prize fighting, and some people
look at it that way, some who con-
slider themselves very intellecautl.
Meanwhile, the world gets ahead,
not by mental or physical brawling,
but through the inconsiderable
amount of constructive work people
are able to do between times.
Most of the good songs and good
plays have been written without ar
gument. So, too, most Of the good
pictures have been painted, most of
the great discoveries and inventions
made.
There is no record that Shakes
peare wasted much time in dispute,
or Darwin, or the CURES.
Whether as writers or plumbers,
those who are interested in their
work, who think it worth while, and
want to do it well, because it is
worth while, seldom knock off to
chatter at each other.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-25

obtained the fine clothes. as loud and
as vulgar as her conversation. She
had no manners, no grand gesture
of position. She was just Stella Dali
las, a woman who could not under
stand why she could not be as young
as her own daughter.
II is the tragedy of the failure of
his woman to realize that fine living
is more than loud and gaudy clothes
and more than freedom of words and
experiences that makes Stella Dali
las" a photoplay with a great pur-
pose.
"Stella Dallas" is the character
study Of a woman who just couldn't
At in good society. And yet when
Stella realized why people referred
to her as that "horrid creature" and
made fun OF her loud clothes and
her bad manners, she made the SUI
preme sacrifice which placed her
own daughter in cultured and loving
hands.
Belle Bennett as Stella Dallas
gives the screen as careful a charac-
terization as If she were creating 1t
for the spoken stage. Here is a per-
Torrance so bitter at times In its
hopelessness that one feels that a
life tragedy is being revealed instead
of great acting.
In the hands Of Miss Bennett,
Stella Dallas becomes a living wom-
an whose brain cannot keep up with
the desire of her heart. This woman
really wants to be the right sort of
a mother to her lovely daughter,
played with spiritual grace by Lois
Moran.
This woman wants to be a fine
mother She wants her daughter to
go with the right people, but mother
always throws a "shoe" and mess es
up the works. She is a good sort,
but not the right sort.
It Is the way that Miss Bennett
puts over this feeling of longing and
wanting to be the kind Of a woman
that she is not is the quality which
makes her performance so masterrul
and real.
Ronald Colman plays a more ma
ture role in the later part of the pic
ture than he generally is called upon
to play. He puts a lot Of honest
work in his adult characterization
of the husband of Stella. OF course
he is forced TO divorce Stella but he
is big enough and his second wife is
big enough to have room under their
roof for the daughter of Stella.
stella Dallas" is one Of the rare
real articles of the screen which dig
nifles great acting in a great story.
There is going to be a lot of talk
about this tragedy of woman who
couldn't become what she wanted
to be. Love wasn't big enough to
make Stella a big woman. 1t takes
brain, thought, study, devotion, love
and great faith to make a great
women.

TrotSkY Fired

Trotzky and. his crowd got fired
even though they tried TO avoid it
by apologizing.
Instead of making a diplomatic
retreat" as Max Eastman said he
should, Stain used the steamroller.
The Communist party is purified
and reduced at the same time. Stain
not only gets more power, but a
smaller circle with which to divide
1t.
No matter by what name you call
it, despotism is just as sweet in the
eyes Of Russian traditions as 1t ever
was.
Under Romanoff or Lenin, Moscow
feels comfortable only when an auto
crat holds sway.
The trouble, they say, was over
the idea Of raising prices, wages and
revenue, which Trotzl1y advocated
and Stain opposed. But that hardly
deceives anyone.
The trouble was over who should
rule and who obey.
