Big Parade Is Most Human Movie Ever
Reflected Upon an Indianapolis Screen

"For Heavens Sake" is built upon
different lines from anything that
the comedian has done before. OF
course it is Lloyd who is responsible
for the fun and yet his supporting
cast is about as funny.
The movie gets its title from the
fact that Lloyd is doing something
for heaven" meaning the mission.
It is probably more farce than
comedy and yet when the picture is
all over you will remember it as an
entire entertainment instead of just
a few scenes in which Lloyd general
ly lifts a picture to high entertain
ing planes.
And Lloyd is wise in bringing a
new note to the screen. He believes
that he must have vehicles which
tell an entire story. He is right in
that.
y For Heavens Sake" approaches
stage comedy or farce much
nearer than his previous pictures.
1 believe that Lloyd has established
new idea in movie comedies in
making For Heavens Sake"
1t is mighty good, in fact, corking
good all round entertainment. 1

is as good as THE Freshman" 1
believe 1t is better in some IN
stances but the theme of 1.-THE

element which people so much en-
joy. In For Heavens Sake" Lloyd
scatters his talents along over a
complete story which has a real
climax and logical ending.

Politics and Principles

One of the organizers of the prohibition party in
Indiana died last week at the ripe age Of "a.
His passing may serve to cali attention to the
history which lies behind the passage of the Eight
eenth amendment to the Constitution, and points
to the fact that the triumph of principles and of the
political parties which produce them not neces-
sariy linked
When the prohibition party formed few
jealous and very sincere people who gave it their
support firmly believed that only by the triumph Of
their party could they possibly attain their OBJ
jectve. Two large and dominant political parties
laughed at this babe of politics. In their own
vicinity the men who voted for this ticket were
looked upon as very foolish. Wise men and the
more practical said that they wasting their
votes.
The party was considered harmless and certain
ly not regarded as at all dangerous.
The arrogance of the saloon interests and the
very potent evils that came from over-ndulgence
convinced large numbers that the drink evil must be
curbed and by slow gradual process of political
strategy and intense propaganda, the movement
came when the cause for which these very pio-
neers sacrificed became the fundamental part of our
law No prohibitioners had any part in the final tri-
unph that party given any credit for any
of it's early triumph. None of these who acted
upon chance and were willing to sacrifice for prin-
ciple were even honored or remembered. Whatever
credit was distributed went to those straegists who
were not so foolish to waste their votes.
Only when one ofAthem passed to their final re-
ward ever remembered that in his early youth
he gave enthusiasm and ardor to a cause.
1t may also be recalled that in the later his
tory of the prohibition party its leaders and it's
members suffered from criticism by those who
finally obtained legal prohibition than they had
suffered from those who made and sold whisky.
Less than twenty-five years ago they were ac-
cused Of really blocking temperance by insisting
prohibition instead Of throwing their support to local
option against the saloon. They accused of
being fanatics and impractical.
Perhaps that is the real glory Of those men who
formed this third political party. They did not ex-
pect to win but they forged Fear of defeat did
not 6aunt them, neither derision repeated fail
ures cooled their ardor. They believed in princi-
pie and they stood upon principle
Such must ever have respect. This Ma
ton could we'll many Of this sort 1t needs those
who believe in something. We have become too
sadly practical, too politically wise, too Indifferent
to fundamental things.
Whatever you may think about prohibition you
cannot refrain from giving unstnted respect to that
little group whose bravery and persistence forms
Of the bright pages Of our political history.

HOW MANY
DO YOU KNOW

With the close OF the fling period
Saturday night more than 800
Marion County citizens are in the
race for nomination at the May 4
primary election for township,
county, State, legislative and con-
gressional jobs.
And it isn't a very good spring
for office seekers at that. The
list of aspirants is much shorter
than two years ago.
Up in Madison County 400 cam
didates have filed for nominations
for county and township offices.
In Boone County there are 220
willing patriots on the primary list.
And in Grant County 800 Repub-
licans and Democrats seek places
in the sun, the largest number of
candidates in the county's history,
SO, in comparison with our
neighbors. the. number Of office
seekers in Marion County is very
moderate. Our primary ballot
won't look any more like a tele-
phone directory than most Of them.
Possibly every one Of the 800
Marion County candidates was
persuaded to file by urgent friends
and claInorous popular demand and
is qualified for office. It may be
that each is actuated solely by
desire to serve the public. But
how can the voters select the best
men for office from such a list7
How many of the 900 do you
know personally? What do you
know of their records and qualih-
cations?
A conscientious voter would have
to spend all of the thirty days re-
naming before the primary in In
tensive study to familiarize himself
sufficiently with records and char.
acters of the candidates to vote in

confronted with such a list the
average voter goes into the booth,
shuts his eyes and stabs blindly.

NOT so MUCH
BUILDING

Bert Westover, city building
commissioner, reports a decrease
in building activities in March
compared with the same month
in 1925. In March this year 1,345
permits representing q total valu-
alton of $2,09O,023 were issued,
while in March last year the num-
Der of permits was 1877, with a
valuation Of S2.454,59S.
At first glance from these
figures one gets the impression
that the expansion Of indianapolis
is slowing down. But probably in
clement weather was the principal
reason for the decreased building
activities. Prospective builders
were too busy during the month
chasing flu germs to think about
erecting new houses.
However, even with the de-
crease in March. indianapolis
ranks high among the cities Of
the country in new building.
A survey. just completed by the
Indiana Limestone Quarrymen's
Association, Of the new building
in the United States the first three
months of 1925 shows that in
valuation of permits issued In
dianapolis is eleventh among
cities.
In population Indianapolis ranks
about twentieth. And among the
cities of greater population which
are below the Hoosier metropolis
In building activities the first
quarter OF this year are Seattle,
New Orleans, Baltimore, Pitts
burgh, Milwaukee, Kansas City,
Minneapolis and Buffalo.
So Indianapolis is still doing
business at the old stand and
growing at a satisfactory pace.
Wind, rain, snow and billiards,
depressed its buildings for which
permits were issued during the
month would make a town larger
than 95 per cent Of Indiana's
towns. Indianapolis is q mighty
solid fact.
