AN OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL

Let 1t be hoped that there will be very repre-
sentative and very earnest gathering at the lunch
scheduled for Sept to discuss plans for Op-
portunity School
The very name Is attractive and engaging to
those who wish to do something worth while.
The word itself touches the imagination and the
desire of every person, especially the young man or
woman who ask for nothing more from life and
who has wisdom enough to know that the key 10
opportunity is always fitness to grasp it.
Generally speaking those who lament that they
lack opportunity indct themselves unfit for the
things they would like to do in life.
There are always opportunities to do big things.
but the pity of it is that too many of able
to perform the work they offer.
Such school is proposed would invite to its
classes those who dissatisfied with their cond-
tion and their own ability.
1t would offer the training and the knowledge
essential to different and perhaps more important
work. At least it would give the chance to the
bilious to prepare themselves for work which is
pleasant and attractive.
Real happiness is to be found only In a work
which satisfies the ambitions and the inclinations
The most unhappy person is he who finds him
self In task which is drudgery and toll.
Discomfort is the heaviest burden which any one
carry through life.
Here is school which proposes to give the an
swer to that discomfort, to offer way to those who
wish to fit themselves for congenial' conditions
to grasp the opportunity they desire.
Any may rise to any heights which he has
the power to picture in his own mind
But the price is steadfast purpose, a willing
to sacrifice, determination sufficiently strong
hold him to the pursuit of training and education
necessary to fill that place.
If every person, young and old, we're constant
students along the lines proposed for this school,
most of the discomfort in this world would be wiped

The Filipinos who favor independence, number
1O6OO,00O.
The majority should rule there, just it does
in the United States. We promised independence to
the Filipnos. They are entitled to it. They ought
to have had 1t long ago.
Nobody expects or wants this Government to
completely desert the islands BY treaty agreeable
to the Fpinos, we should arrange to keep adequate
land and navy forces there, means of protecting
the natives and as means of guarding our own back
door. But we have no business interfering with the
domestic affairs of the people whom we have
been domineerng for years.
There is much talk Of American capital devel-
oping rubber production in the Philippines. The sue.
cess of such an enterprise will depend good deal
on the friendship of the natives. We can't expect
to retain their friendship if keep on nosing into
their home affairs But rubber development is sec
ondary We should keep our solemn pledge concern
ing independence, not merely because there money
in It, but because il is the only decent thing to do
Meanwhile, if there any Americans down
there who stirring up strife, they ought to be
called home

MORE MFDDLING

If charges made by Moro leaders in the last few
days have any basis In fact, the situation In the
Philippines certainly is one of which this country
should be ashamed.
The charges In effect, that Americans in
the islands are resortlng to cheap politics. playing
faction against the other seemingly in an effort
to create the false impression that the Fipinos are
not ready for independence.
COL Carmi A. Thompson now in the islands as
the personal envoy Of President Coolidge, was de-
layed In landing at Mindanoa the other day when
Maj. Allen S. Fletcher, commanding the Philippines
scouts. warned that riot threatened between
the Christian Filipinos and the Mohammedan Moros
When Thompson did land Augustin Alvarez a for
provincial governor, made speech in which he
said:
THE only reason for the i'll feeling between the
Americans and the Filipinos is that the Americans
interfere in politics and try to separate the Moros
and the Ffpinos. Every time party like yours
visits us they emphasize our differences The Army
officers most interested in stirring up trouble
between the two factions. 1t was Maj. Fletcher who
sent to the hills and got the Datus and their follow
*ers to here and protest against Philippine indie
pendence."
The Moros. the faction that seems to have been
stirred up against independence number only 100000.

WHEN DAVIS COMES

While it requires considerable nerve and bra
vado on the part of the Republican State committee
to list speech at the State fair, supported by all
the people and given tax aid political boost for
Senators Watson and Robinson, it is fortunate that
one member of the Presidents Cabinet is to be in
Indiana at all.
Thus far Harry News offer to talk on certain
subjects has not been accepted.
The men and women who have regard for Presi-
dent Coolidge and his policies may be interested in
an official message from the White House as to
how Watson and Robinson are viewed.
Here Is an opportunity for Secretary of Labor
Davis to tell the people of Indiana that Watson and
Robinson of great help to Coolidge especially
when they voted against the World Court, and es-
poused farm relief bill which the President said
was economically unsound,
Will Davis frankly tell the people that when
Watson voted against the World Court, the Presi-
dent knew he had enough votes to pass it and re-
leased Watson because the hooded ones demanded
that he vote against 1t?
Senator Watson, so it is charged by Claris
Adams, did make this explanation to two prominent
supporters of the President
The President may wish to send some message
to how much help he has received from Watson
through his recommendations to public Office
He may wish to thank the Senator for the eff.
cheney of those who had charge of the Squbb
whisky and give praise that only $4,000 worth of it
disappeared from the Federal Building under cir
cumstances which caused the Indianapolis News,
the most ardent supporter of Watson after a
thirty years war; to declare that there higher
ups" in that matter who have been disclosed.
Here some topics which would interest the
people of this State if Secretary Davis would bring
an authorized message from the Administration
in which he holds a post.
He comes to speak on Labor day But the
people of this State understand that the labor prob
lens well cared for in this State.
There are injunctions when any outsiders come
in to make trouble and jail for officers of national
unions. There is the employment of labor union
officials when trouble is threatened There is eager
prosecution in the Federal courts The secretary
might condense his ideas the progress of labor by
showing the full and complete protection given to
labor organizations by the Federal officials.
Since the speech is labeled in advance as po-
litical, Davis should talk politics.

We Need a Sheriff

Frederick Peabody says that we
ought to cancel the debts as a mat
ter Of idealism, as a matter of COM
mon obligation 10 a common cause.
Ex-Sscretary of War Baker says
we should modify if not cancel them
for the reassuring effect 1t will have
on international credit, and particu-
larly our own trade.
The Chicago Tribune says the
bank which published Mr.. Baker
statement would not stand for such
an attitude toward private debtors.
Senator Willis says that what
Baker suggests is too big a price to
pay.
Former Governor Cox of Ohio says
that we should modify the debts.
Senator Borah says that if France
wants cancellation she should do
some of II on her own account.
Senator Pat Harrison says that we
should boycott France until she
agrees to our terms.
Secretary Mellon says that nobody
should suppose the United States in
tends to ruin any debtor nation, but
that some kind of a settlement ought
to be arranged and tried out before
we talk too much about revision.
The only thing that none of them
says, but that turks in the back
ground of everybody's mind, is that
when things come to a showdown,
there is no way to make a nation
pay its debts, except by war.
We have no international court to
pass judgment and make it stick; no
international sheriff to serve papers
and conduct forced sales, no law,
or law enforcing machinery that
amounts to a row of pins.

VIII you kindly indulge me by

true we cannot educate children

workings? Ny vocabulary is too
much circumscribed to select a scien-

There are many things vital to
contentment and success in life that
are ignored in the public institu-

washtub, a tin affair, was at one
side and the floor was making a
gallant effort to become dry
Was warned by Corey not to take
slide and a dip in his dressing
room. l CALLED upon Corey because
many people were asking me about
him since he opened his engagement
at the Palace.
Corey is what I call an art dancer.
He believes in beauty and presents
his idea of Indian beauty in his
dance. The tub is necessary in his
dressing room when a shower bath
is not present.
Three times a day Corey's body is
covered with gold paint for the final
number of his act. He has as little
clothing on as any dancer, but one
does not object to that.
From a technical standpoint he
is a good dancer. He knows how
to create atmospheric beauty on the
stage. In his final dance, the body
in motion, although covered with
gold paint, is glorifed and converted
into a sympathy of motion.
How Done
Corey told me that the paint is
applied with a brush to his body
and care must be taken so that it
will not streak. When he is so "cov-
cred" from head to foot, Corey is
ready to do his dance.
There have been bronze" and
gold" poses, but Corey is the only
artist that know who dances in
such a striking makeup.
When the dance is over, Corey is
ready for his BATH All theaters do
not have shower baths and so a tub
is used in which to remove the gold
makeup.
ut only takes me three minutes
to take the paint off" Corey told me.
II am generally dressed and ready
to leave the theater before other
members of the company.

Corey IS still a young man. He
firmly believes that vaudeville will

has received in the variety houses.
People respond to art when it is
art and Corey is giving art to the
American vaudeville public.
