A ROYAL WELCOME

We take it all back. The interest in the Queen
of Roumania does not from any suppressed
snobbishness. It springs from a deeper and more
permanent emotion.
We accustomed to giving royal welcomes to
those who entertain US and a queen, being unusual
furnishes new show.
OF course, Qusen Marie is unusual queen She
has beauty, and most Of the queens who claim de-
scent from gods and rule by the divine right of birth
have not been noted for their pulchrtude.
Queen Marie has brains, and 1t may said that
royalty with its centuries of inhreeding have not
been overburdened with gray corruscations.
Likewise Queen Marie seems to be very able to-
keep her family in the jobs to which they were
born and has been most successful in making alli-
through marriages of relatives, with the rest
Of the kings union.
She may be said to be champion, and we like
champions.
We would give the same wzr1n welcome to Gene
Tunney. True 1t might vary a little in dress and
trappings, but it would be no less sincere.
Should Mary Pickford or May Murray or some
other star of FINLAND come, she would be treated
Just as tendery and perhaps more enthusiastically

queen of bootleggers is thrill for moment.
True, the reception committees for these others
would be different We would turn out in crowds

But when Marie arrives she VIII not COMPLAIN
She will be surrounded by our great-fhe mayor and
the Governor and all the rest who may be said to
have reached royal heights and live IN that raried
atmosphere of power and pomp. Lat us hope that

WHERE COLLEGE MEN GO

What becomes of the when he goes out
into the fields of life after his college days over?
How many succeed? How many drift down and lose
the aims their youth cherished?
Some interesting facts have been gathered on
the class that graduated in 1917 from the Shelf
field Scientific School of Yale University This class
has membership of about S26 men who are about
80 years age now. after having been in the work
aday world for eight years.
More than rs per cent of them have been mar
ried since graduation. Most of them welded at
about 26 and their wives averaged %.
The most susceptible period of marrying was
three years after graduation, the romantic spirit
melting away slowly after that time. From the
standpoint of heirs they have WELL the average

Maybe Mr., insult Paid
$4,000 in Fighting
World Court.
By NJ T.. Tracy

Alvah ]. Rucker, corporation coun
sci of indianapolis, should be
ashamed of himself.
The very idea OF suggesting that
Sam insult would make campaign
contributions for other than the pur-
est and most patriotic motivesl
Mr.. insult Is a public utility mag
nate, but that has no influence on
his political views. No, sir!
He gave Frank Smith 100000, or
SO, for the senatorial campaign in
Illinois not because the latter was a
member Of the public service COM
mission, but because he was against
the World Court. Mr.. insult has so
stated under oath.
If Mr.. insult gave $4,000, or any
part of it, to help Ed Jackson, Gov
ernor Of Indiana, in 1924, 1t was un-
doubtedly to serve some equally
noble purpose. Mr.. insult is an al
TRUST when it comes to campaign
contributions, out to save the United
States from being ruined by interna
ttonal schemers. and nothing else.
II he wanted certain persons made
members Of a public utility commits
sion, It was not because he expected
them to do him any good, but be-
cause they had the right attitude
toward foreign affairs
} If he conspired to depress the price
of stock in His own companies so that
he could buy 1t below the market and
turn an honest penny no one should
intimate that he was moved by the
financial gain World Court advo-
Gates may have owned some Of that
stock, and Mr.. insult may have
taken that way to discourage them
and stop their mouths.

HangingS and Trials

Dan Hudson, State commissioner
of law enforcement in Wyoming,
says that cattle rustling has become
more common than in the early days
when "a cowboys chief adornment
was a capable shooting IRON"
ut used to be that when cattle
men caught a band of rustlers, they
held a necktie party, and that was
that" he says But now we\f1rst
must have evidence and then often
lon.r drawn out hearings in the
courts before a rustler can be dis
posed Of. )"
The commissioners difficulties are
further increased by the fact that
he has only two men, one of whom
he has been obliged to put on the
trail of bootleggers.

on different variety bills. Every one
apparently takes an interest in his
work and does not appear to be up
there for a few minutes waiting for
their turn to leave. That is what
makes for god entertainment, when
the audience can feel that here is
some one who takes a sincere inter
est IN providing their amusement.
no matter what side of the theater
is being presented.
As the act opens Mr.. Ardath
comes out front and starts to tell of
the plot of little play, it drags on
and on. When the story is finished
you will laugh, and then laugh at
yourself for laughing. It gives one
an insight into the personality of
this very capable entertainer.
The orchestra is an exceptionally
we'll trained group Of musicians.
The melodies they play are without
fault, and numbered among them
are four men, who have a good
speciality number in their Swiss
comedy song. Also with the act are
three women, who sing some good
harmony.
Princeton and Yale are a man and
woman comedy team, who have
some really clever things in their
act, The scene is laid in a newly
opened night club and from this'the
entire act is built up with the man
making most of the laughs in his
role as the master of ceremonies.
The woman, in a sense. is present
more to look at than to provide
laughs. She has one or two good
song numbers.
Fauntleroy and Van are comedy
team, who rely mostly on the effect
of their trick musical instruments
and makeup in putting their act
over. Missed the opening act.

IrreVerent Prohibition

Prohibition has not only come to
absorb most of the time and at
tention of our law enforcing Of
ficers,~ but to make many of them
forget or disregard what used to be
considered no more than common
decency.
in Houston, Texas, one dry agent
has been indicted for, extortion,
another has been arrested for drunk
enness and the prohibition director
of south Texas is now being sued
for $50 900 by Mrs. Evelyn Edwards.

We Are Killers

Last year Detroit policemen killed
only thirty-five Of 119 bandits whom
they shot at and hit. The year be-
fore. they killed thirty-two out of
eighty-eight. Commissioner of Police
Rutledge says their Workmanship
is growing poor and has ordered
them to resume target practice The
fact that his order is widely ap-
proved shows on what evil days we
have fallen. The crime wave has
brought us TO a frame Of mind
where we admit the necessity of
killing men without formality.
The Indianapolis times., 1926-11-16
Women as Robbers

The crime wave offers but one re-
assuring fact. and that is women
are not participating in it to an
equal extent with men, if the expert
ence Of New York may be taken as
a guide.
Five years ago there were $500
men and 500 women confined in the
New York penal institutions There
are now $500 men, but only 700
women
This disparity is explained, per
haps, by the fact that robbery has
become the most conspicuous motive
for crime Women may have the
but they hesitate at taking the risk.
