1t is with the keenest satisfaction

Gently directed by Stolarevsky and

The score from this scene of the
opera is sung by the Milano Trio

With the large stage, magnificent
handling of lights, with good artists
the score and with a splendid Or
chestra and a big conductor, you will
agree with me that the new pro

a compliment to the movement of

Great music has its place at the

lieveds that until the highest court has de-

That the prison trustees employed the
same attorney who represents The Times in
libel action did not deter this newspaper
from denouncing their policy.
Without immodesty, it may be said that
there would have been no Investigation of
any kind and that nothing would have been
revealed had it not been for The Times and
it's work.
The Times was disappointed when the
special prosecutors were paid from the con-
tingent fund of the Governor.
1t was not surprised that the grand jury
report exonerated all State officials with a
statement that no evidence had been present
ed. 1t could understand, of course, that the
testimony concerning huge checks was not
convincing proof of crime.
The Times, still childishly simple in it's
faith in the efficacy of the easy, direct
method and of full light and publicity, urged
the Legislature to investigate.
The reply came from the Republican
members in a party caucus
The bosses, applying the lash to the timid
forced men who would have welcomed COM
plete inquiry and who had nothing to fear,
to vote for suppression and more silence. 1t
made ":silence' party policy and Gid" the
party emblem.
The Times believes that this State owes a
huge debt of gratitude to Thomas H. Adams,
veteran publisher of Vincennes for his dog
ged insistence upon the light and his untir-
ing efforts to dig beneath the surface and
find the truth It has only pity for those
editors who yielded to the pressure of So
cial or financial political influence and sup
pressed or remained Indifferent to the mat
ter of most Importance to Indiana.
Today it is definitely shown that Ste
phenson had some documents. The work
has Just begun Statutes Of limitation do
not operate against the laws of public con-
science.
With this issue The Times bids the citi-
zenship of Indiana to welcome in day of
light and truth and facts and to forever
emerge from the shadows Of those who mis-
use power and steal governments.

(KOKOMO DESPATCH)

D. c. Stephenson, reported to be displeased with
the report which the State board Of charities and
correction has made concerning his treatment in the
Michigan City prison, issues state
SteDhen- ment through his attorney saying that
he is ready to "tell everything" about
sou politics in Indiana.
Again The public has heard similar state
ments from Mr.. Stephenson before; he
has not taken his opportunities to tell what he knows
it is evident that he is not aboring for the welfare
of Indiana and that he is only seeking to what
he knows or thinks he knows for leverage to
gain his freedom.
The public will become more interested in Stephen
son and his threats when he makes good on some
of his statements. Naturally Prosecuting Attorney
Remy is wary. He well may wonder if the avenue to
the information which he seeks will not be closed
that the prisoner should broadcast the information
that he is ready to talk when he well knows that
there evidently men in Indiana who are de-
termined that he shall not talk.

Races Always Change

Most great civilizations have de-
veloped, not from single strain,
but from an amalgamation of races,
The strength of this country is
not contributable to any one an
cestral stock, but to the fact that
adventurous people of varied de-
scent have gathered here to form
a new race.
This is not unique. Greece, Rome
and England developed in the samC
way.
Nature is constantly forming new
strains through the admixture of
old ones.
Races are constantly disappear
ing to make room for new ones.
Where are the Franks, the Goths,
the Huns and SaXons that played
such prominent part in history
100 years ago?
BY the same token, where were
the French, the Germans, the
Dutch and the Americans that are
playing such part today?

To Avoid Disaster

Nothing constructive was to be expected of the
Geneva arms conference 1t now rests with the good
sense of the British and american governments to
say whether anything destructive shall result.
The naval parley has gone aground, but the two
governments, perhaps can float it again without
serious disaster.
There is little question that Coolidge would have
done better had he refrained from proposing this
conference. 1t was meaningless peace gesture at
best made SO by the knowledge that Italy and France
would not participate that they would stand on the
terms Of the Washington conference whereby
the revision date was set for 1881. Meaningless at
best it now contains possibilities of great harm.
If the conference breaks up 1t will be on the
obvious ground that the United States refuses to
indorse great naval BUILDING program by Great
Britain. Great Britain, following the abandonment
of the conference, may be expected to proceed with
this enlarged program.
Coolidge, willingly or unwillingy, would be swept
along. This country is not in mood for a new
naval race and the question would become political
Immediately. Inevitably the United States would
find itself ringing with attacks on Great Britain and
large element camoring, it may be successfully, for
a bigger and better American Navy.
The United States and Great Britain would find
the ties of friendship seriously strained if not break
ing Anything might result, given accidental cause.
We don't want to get into that situation. Neither
does Great Britain.
It is time that our two governments got together
and found some basis of agreement. 1t is a case
where any agreement is better than none. In other
words, the important thing is to stave off open
rupture with the national and international conse
quences that would follow.
Whatever agreement is made will be effective only
until 1884, in any case the effect of any agreement
will be largely to maintain the status quo, $50 far
the actual naval strength of the two countries is
concerned
But the effect of an open disagreement may become
something very important indeed.

Future Is important

We think too much OF where we
came from and too little of where
we are going.
The important point for Amer
leans to consider is not the races
whence they sprung, but the race
into which they are developing.
Some of Colonel Lindbergh's an
cestors. were Swedes, but some were
not.
He himself is an American and
his descendants, if he has any, will
be still more American.
We are apt to regard this as
purely technical, as of political
rather than physical significance,
but it has meaning that goes
deeper than the right to vote or the
risk of being drafted.

looks the part of the vagabond poet
Of Paris. You will agree with me
that Barrymore is romantic in ma
ture and he fits heart and soul It
seems into the role of this romantic
spinner of songs about Louis XII of
France and the beautiful Charlotte.
He makes Francois very active on
his feet and he makes him a mag

such as when the Duke of Burgundy
starts to torture Villon into death
before the eyes of the girl he loves.
Barrymore is magnificent.
Paul Bern wrote the screen play
In which Francois Villon is the chief
character along with Louis, the
Duke of Burgundy, Thibault d. Aus
signy, Duke of Orleans and others.
The story differs from any others
that I have read which concerns
Francois. AS 1.-THE Beloved Rogue"
now stands, it is highly colored ro-
mantle fiction woven around many
characters of history.
The cast is competent and should
be with Conrad Veidt, Lawson Butt,
Mack Swain, Henry Victor and 9TH
ers supporting Barrymore.
The settings are often massive
and the photography and direction
is just what one expects and de-
sires in John Barrymore picture.
The orchestra this week is Bernie
Schultz and his Crescent orchestra.
Here is group of young players,
who seem to me have gone too far
in the direction of trying to mas
querade the fact that it is an Or
chestra. The artist-studio opening
fails, in my opinion to give the or
chestra proper introduction. And
the ending of similar nature prae-
tically kills the effect Of the preced-
ing melody. AS usual be your own
judge of orchestras.

INTERNATIONAL METEOR
OT,OGY

Probably no other brancn OF SCI
ence is SO we'll organized from q
meteorological standpoint as mete-
orology. The meteorologists had
their League of nations" long before
one was established by the politi-
clans. The international organiza-
ton originated at a conference held
at Leipzig in 1872, which was the
preliminary of a formal congress
held the following year at Vienna.
The members of the congress or
ganized a permanent committee
and this has been perpetuated to
the present time.
What is now known officially as
the International Meteorological
Organization consists of Cd a di-
recting body, the international
Meteorological Committee. all Of
whose members are heads Of ma
tional meteorological services. and
co a number of international com
missions" which supervise and CO.
ordinate the work of meteorologists
in various special fields. For eX-
ample, there is commission on
agricultural meteoroiogy, and there
are others on clouds, upper-air OBJ
servations, marine meteorology, etc.
The International Committee
meets every three years. At less
frequent intervals are held confer
ences," attended by the directors
of meteorological services and indie
pendent observatories throughout
the world.

incentive toward perfection.
The European touch is In evil
dence all through the picture. There
is a nicely of detail that is lack
ing in many of the American films.
The lighting approaches the famous
German pictures in uniqueness.
Miss Terry gives perhaps one OF
the best performances she has ever
done on the screen. Horror and
fear have never been registered more
perfectly than that of the young
sculptress when she is under the
influence of the evil magician.
Paul Wegener made a name for
himself in THE Golem," which was
shown in this country several years
ago. He appears to a much better
advantage in The Magician, "how-
ever. His performance Of an OBJ
sessed and insane person is beyond
doubt one of the best that has ever
been screened.

modern means of expression. This,
Murnau has done with such telling
skill and with such devotion to the
heighest ideals in photoplay pro-
duction that Faust" becomes the
leader which will inspire other
directors and actors to produce other
gigantic tragedies.
First of all I ask you to de-
termine the fact that Jannings is
Mephisto, the evil spirit and that
Costa Elkman is the young Faust.
Up to a certain point, the introduc-
ton in which the director has given
you the widest flights of his imagi-
nation in bringing Mephisto down to
earth to "obey" the commands Of
Faust, there might be some little
confusion but when Faust is again
made young, there is no doubt that
Jannings is the Mephisto.
Of course study the art of jan
nings during the entire picture, es-
pecially when he is having gay old
time with the dame who makes the
love potions. Here you see light act
ing on the part of Jannings which
proves his complete mastery of every
mood.
For months, I have been of the
conviction that Jannings is the most
painstaking and the greatest dra-
matte artist both as to acting and as
to makeup that the screen has today.
Jannings in my opinion is the Mans
field of the screen. His performance
in Faust" only increased my origin
al opinion.
Then find time to study the ex-
IRENE modern settings, many times
very simple in detail, which gives
the imagination of Goethe to rise
even above modern art Of scenic
dress. Scene after scene of such

Colonies Disappear

In the great cities, where the for
eign-born have been herded to-
gether, you still find markings of
the old world, but the rapidity with
which these are disappearing is,
perhaps, the most astonishing part,
while in the smaller towns and rural
sections it has become practically
impossible to tell from what race
the second or third generation de-
Scended.
