The boss reply was that an adding

batting government, were upset when
her majesty changed her mind as
to the manner in which she is to en-.
ter the city.
Mayor Walker, Governor Smith,
and President Coolidge had elaborate
plans completed, including cannon
boomings, whistle tootings, horn blow
ings, flag wavings, hand shakings and
knee bendings. which were to take
place when the royal gold digger
was to alight on tug at quarantine.
But Marie, to show her democracy,
decided to ride right up to the pier,
Instead, so all the plans had to be
changed.
Mrs. Astor Is Servant"
Mrs. Vincent Astor, millionairess
is going to get real capitalistic thrill
by hob-nobbing around with the queen
while she is IN New York. The Amer
lean money queen will act as lady
in-waiting'' to Marie.
As further evidence to the queen
that republican America is all excit-
ed about her coming, Walker has ar
ranged a gigantic street parade for
the queen, when she gets off the boat.
She will be escorted from the pier to
the city hall by mounted policemen,
White House emissaries, state and
city representatives, besides liberal
sprinkling of army officers and Rou-
man1an consuls.
A large number of secret service
men will be provided to guard the
queen as she rides to the hall.

MIGHTY PROTEST
IN N. Y. AGAINST
ROUMANIA TERROR
Demonstrate Against the
Queens Covenant

NEW YORK, Oct. IA protest has
risen from workers organizations in
every country against the brutal muir
der of the young Roumanian radical
Pavel Tkatchenko. After denying for
long time that Tkatchenko was
dead, refusing to let any Bucharest
papers state that he was dead, and in
sisting that he had escaped from cap
tivity and mysteriously disappeared"
the Roumanian authorities have at
last been compelled to announce that
Tkatchenko has been shot-shot while
attempting to escape, they say.
Protest Meet.
The New York section of the Inter
national Labor Defense has arranged
mass meeting at Union Square next
Monday, October IS, at $50 to express
more fully the Indignation and hor.
ror which American workers feel at
this latest atrocity of Queen Marie's
government.
Payel Tkatchenko, a native Of Bess-
arabia, was a student who had been
active in the Russian revolutionary
movement years ago. He took part
in both revolutions Of 1917 and later
fought as a red soldier in the Ukraine.
When Bessarabia became part of
Roumania according to the so-called
peace settlement" he was active in
organizing the workers in Roumania
and, Of course, Immediately became
q target for police persecution.
Wholesale Arrests.
He was arrested a number of times,
served prison sentence, and finally
was taken with various trade union
officials in a series of wholesale ar
rests by the secret police. At the time
of these arrests, the workers realized
their comrades were in grave danger
both of torture and of being shot
on the fictitious charge that they
were trying to escape. And in the case
Of Tkatchenko this is exactly what
happened. The cruelties practiced
upon him were unbelievably terrible.
Finally, half-dead from a broken spine
and fearful body bruises, he was taken
to Kichinev to be examined, so 1t was
said. He was transported without
chains, and Immediately it was rumor-
ed he had escaped" The truth was
the authorities shot him and buried
him on the spot.
Others Fate Doubtful.
The fate of other workers arrested
with Tkatchenko still is in doubt. If
loud enough protests arise from work
ers of every country, these others may
be spared the terrible fate of Tkatch-
enko. The workers Of America have
their chance, while Queen Marie is
here, to let her and her government
know what they think Of their reign
Of terror in Roumania. The prosecuted
workers and peasants Of Roumania
look to their fellow workers, espe-
cially in powerful America, to help in
their bitter struggle by shouting de-
nunciations Of the oppression in
Roumania.
A mighty protest meeting next
Monday in Union Square viii be heard
in the smallest Roumanian village
and will give fresh courage to the
workers in their fight for organization.

Same Old Story

Some time ago the University of
Vermont issued a bulletin advising
parents to urge their sons to become
farmers, and declaring that girls
should consider the latter among
the best marriage prospects,.
4 little later New England rail-
roads petitioned for a 20 per cent
raise in freight rates on milk, and
when the hearing was held they
used this bulletin to prove that the
farmers were prosperous enough to
stand IL.
1t is the same old theory, whether
in the East or West-flrst we per-
suade young men to go to school
and learn how to farm, on the
ground that it is a profitable bust
ness. then we let everybody increase
profits and rates to take the profit
away from them.
No sooner do southern farmers be-
come proficient IN growing cotton
through education and modern
equipment than we tell them they
must reduce their output by a third
in order to save the market.
If wheat growers get little ahead
Of the game we spoil It by putting
on a tariff which adds to the cost
Of most everything they buy.
When farmers come to Congress
requesting the same kind Of prefer
entail laws that we give the rail-
roads and manufacturers, we tell
them that their relief lies in CO.
operation.

A YOUNG MAN MAKES AMENDS

On the first Sunday in April 1917 DR.. David
Starr Jordan president emeritus of Leland Stan
ford University, protesting before the Baltimore
Open Forum against the impending entrance OF this
country into the World War.
Suddenly the doors opened, mob of Baltimore
youths rushed in and broke up the meeting. They
led by Carter G. Osburn Jr. who later vol
unteered and played gallant part in the war.
Osburn, managing editor of the Modern
World. Baltimore magazine, wrote in the latest IS
of that magazine, addressing DR.. Jordan:
81 do not apologize to you, sir. No apology is pos
sibe for such act asure you only that expert
ence and maturity have brought me the poignant
realization that you were motivated by
the principles of civilization, while was motvated
by the passions Of barbarism.
"In democratic nation, assuredly argument
should always be met whit argument. Argument
should never be stfed by force. 1t would have
been possible for those differing from you to meet
your arguments with convincing arguments on
the other side They chose instead to me and
similar befudded youths to prevent you from being
heard"

on the California coast. We don't want our troops
engaged in war Of terrorism on the Japanese
coast for that matter. In short don't want war
unless war in unavoidable.
But, to save their SKINS two elderly gentlemen
have gone into court and told this practically un-
supported story concerning Japans alleged nefari-
Gus intentions. The story has aroused Japan to
high state of uneasiness and anger. While it
remains uncontradicted by Government this
feeling in Japan is justified Will our Government
speak the necessary words the interests IF
the two elderly gentlemen mere important to the
men who compose our Government than peace in

This incident in itself won't cause with
Japan. But the constant sowing Of suspicion and
distrust eventually will.
The Government should speak and should make
its language plain and unmistakabe.

Even Cal Changes

Adolfo Diaz is not the only one
willing to compromise with those
whom he regards as radical and dan
gerous
You find President Coolidge in
somewhat the same frame of mind.
Norris, Frazier, Brookhart and
even Mr.. Shipstead are no longer
given a cold shoulder at Washing
ton.
There Is no record that these
Senators have changed very much,
that they have foresworn their
progressiveness, or are any more
amenable to orders of the old guard.
but, Notwithstanding this, they
seem vastly more welcome in ortho-
dox Republican circles than they
used to be.
1t makes a difference whether the
Democrats lack nine of having a ma
Jority IN the Senate, or whether
they can come within one Of it.
For one thing. 1t makes the Admin
istration surprisingly warm and
cordial toward men whom 1t former
ly turned down without compunc-
ton. Who knows but that it may
come to a state OF mind where it's
willing to consider the farmer and
his problems?

version of la Boheme," IAllian
Gish is the suffering Mimi. And
when it comes to this suffering bust
ness, Lillian Gish knows about all
there is to know. How this woman
can register suffering! She must
like to play these roles of tear stained
and abused maidens Of fiction. And
SO Lillian again suffers through reel
after reel Of la Boheme."
And guess who the chap is that
makes her suffer so much this time?
John Gilbert Is his name and he ap-
pears as Rodolphe, the sweetheart
Of Mimi.
lie Boheme" is really a study in
emotional suffering. It is the theory
of some that great genius is only
born out of a great suffering. And
IL that is true, then Rodolphe must
have been a wizard in artistry.
One must judge la Boheme" as
emotional drama. A play may be
very sad and even be a big play,
made so by its theme and the acting.
Lillian Gish reaches remarkable
emotional heights as Mimi, the girl
who suffers the price Of love.
At times, Rodolphe was such a
perfect pighead to Mimi that I
wanted to call gang and clean up
on this hero Of la Boheme." It is
not the fault Of Gilbert that he is
so rough with Mimi. 1t is nobody's
fault-that's the story of la
Boheme."
When Lillian Gish IS Keyed up
for suffering. she is at her best. This
is her best line of work. And yet
in tho lighter moments Of this story,
the love scenes in the park, she
shows that she can project love and
gaiety with as much ease as suffer
ing.
Since La Boheme' is a study in
emotional shadows and the movie
director has acknowledged that
theme, then this movie is competent

You will be interested. am sure,

OF course, when you study the
suffering Of Mimi at this day, one
must admit that Mimi was pretty
much of n fool. but you must re-
membmer that Mimi isn't a girl Of
this generation.

The fate of Messrs. Doheny and Fall rests with
Athe jury. We not and DO wish to affect the
reasoning of this jury. When the jury has decid-
led the question of whether these two men con-

Concerning
FlOnzaleyS
BY Walter i. Hickman

The music of Mozart and Bee
thoven becomes ever greater when
played by great artists.
1t seems to me that the Flonzaley
Quartet, a string quartet, can always
be counted upon to find the greatest
possible beauty in the work Of a
composer.
OF course I mean if there is really
great beauty in the composition
And there is great and wonderful
beauty in Mozart's Quartet in d
major" and in Beethoven's Quartet
in e minor"
And the beauty in these two
quartets was displayed in all Of its
beauty Sunday afternoon at the
Academy of Music, by the Flonzaley
Quartet.
The light and beauty "Minetto,"
third movement in the Mozart
quartet, took on added beauty as
played by the four members Of the
Flonzaley Quartet. To me this move.
ment is one of great haunting pow
err. It's beauty was fully realized in
its playing by the quartet.
The Beethoven Quartet is prob
ably a little more serious, but there
is a marvellous strain of haunting
beauty in the four divisions of this
quartet.
Bloch's "Pastorale" became a
stringed harmony in the hands OF
this group of great artists. I expect
perfect playing by the Flonzaleys,
and yesterday afternoon was no ex-
ception to the rule.
In bringing this organization to
Indianapolis from one to two times
a season by the Indianapolis Maen-
nerchor is one of the many fine
things that the Maennerchor does
for this city.
It is seldom that I become 'lost"
at a concert, but I became so GEN.

tet presented the Beethoven quar-
tet that nothing mattered but this

fering is the character as played by
Francis X. Bushman. They say that
Bushman is staging a comeback. At
one time this man, when he was
teamed with Beverly Bayne, was
one Of the leaders on the screen.
The team was divided, Bushman
didn't do much for long time. Then
suddenly he began to act. And in
1.-THE Marriage Clause" you will see
Busbman go to the very soul of
his character. Here is really great
acting in n movie which is over
dramatic at times but great acting
makes many of these theatrical
scenes register as sincere human ex-
periences.
The theme of this story is this
Tha making of a great emotional
star. Sounds rather tame but the
story suggests the theory that great
artistry is only born out of a great
suffering. Or in other words-What

Miss Dove gets the very spirit of
the success of an actress who is
inspired to do great things. because
