FYESIGHT CARE 2
 Eyes Sensitive to Light

YOUR eyes may be normally healthy and still be uncomfort- ably sensitive to sunlight and illumination. This may ba due to unnatural light pigmenta- ton, especially among blonde people, or due to eyestrain un- der improper lighting.
 Only a thorough examina- ton will show why eyes are sensitive-and reveal the con dition of their health.
 After scientific examina- ton, if the need for glasses is indicated, we provide special invisibly tinted lenses for sen- sitiye eyes.

To get more than this they become outlaws
and anarchists
Gilliom has stood between the orderly procedure
of government and a lot of tempted judgment
These lawmakers ought to have more money.
They should have enough to pay their hotel bills,
their booze bills and their poker bills
The State of Indiana should hire these men at
a sufficient wage to lift them above the temptations
put out by lobbyists Of the corporations-the privi
lege seekers and the bosses.
They should be enabled to live in decent hotels
and buy for themselves decent meals.
They should not be subjected to the temptation
of suave, genial pethoric agents who will buy them
decent meals and decent rooms
They should be above the subtle bribery of law
yers who list themselves asfobbyists.
Unfortunately the law is against this thing The
State of Indiana is not ablesto compete with the
privilege seekers who desire to shackle and to bur-
den Indiana.
What tragedy Is there In the honest decision
Of Arthur Gliom He has told the Governor in legal
language that Indiana can not afford to compete on
equal terms with utility lobbyists medical lobbyists
crushed stone lobbyists and sand and gravel lobby
lists.
Giom stands for law. And in standing for law
he has made it impossible for those members of
the Legislature who desire to be honest to lift them
selves above temptation.
Rather tragic situation. II we stand with Gil
lion we turn loose legislators to the lobbyist
bandits.
If we desert law and Gilliom we subject these
lawmakers to the temptations of the venal, the
greedy and the crafty.
Remember man living in three-dolara-week
room and buying his meals at a cafeteria is an
easy prey for the vutures who have othey peoples
money in their pockets.

Master Class Lecture Course On Voice
Will Open At Indiana Music College

RI HE Indiana College Of Music
and Fine Arts announces Il
~ master class lecture course
on voice, for ten days, beginning
Jan. 81.
Five lectures will be given on al.
ternate days, and Mr.. Seagle also
will give limited number of private
lessons.
Mr.. Seagle does not come as a
stranger to Indianapolis, as he has
appeared here in concerts, and many
of Indianapolis best singers have
studied with him at Seagle Colony
on Schroon Lake. This is the first
vocal master class ever held in our
city and indianapolis is to be con
graduated on having Mr.. Seagle,
who is pre-eminent both as singer
and teacher.
For nine years Mr.. Seagle has
maintained school at Schrool Lake,
New York, where many teachers
and students spend the summer
months in study.
On an estate of 500 acres I'm the
Adirondacks are cottages where stu
dents and guests may live. There is
an open air theater for recitals and
entertainments and a big farm
house refectory.
Mr.. Seagle's large and delightful
studio is far away where there Is no
disturbing element but the birds.
For fourteen seasons Mr.. Seagle
was assistant TO the eminent artist
and teacher. Jean dc Reszke, at his
home In Italy. De Reszke consid-
cred him the best exponent of the
De Reszke school of singing.
The foremost critics of our country
acknowledge Mr.. Seagle's technique
as perfect. His Interpretation is eX-
quisite and always appealing.
One critic says of him: This artist
is one Of those rare singers to whom
technique is a means of expression
so thoroughly developed, that the in
tricacies Of Interpretation are as

How 1t Worked

The queerest part of the pardon
ing business is that not all the con-
victs appreciate what is done for
them. One walked into Houston po-
lice headquarters yesterday and an
nounced that he had committed
forgery and should be locked up. Ma
had released him last Fourth of
July, but after working on a farm
three months, he decided that this
kind Of a life was too dull, so he
signed his employers name to a
check for $135 and went to Denver.
Failing to get employment there, he
decided that prison was a good
boarding place and came back to
Texas.

THE SALARY RAISE

Against the Constitution is the verdict Of the At
rney General concerning the measure by which
8 legislators sought to increase their pay from
to $40 day.
The Attorney General is perhaps the best law.
NJ which the State has had in it's employ for many
year.
4 His decisions concerning the law are beyond
spute. He is the best lawyer which Indiana has
er had or perhaps will have again.
His politics something different
Whenever political measure is presented Mr.
Slliom may be depended upon to carefully protect
I political associates.
But when he is asked for legal decision his
Hlings may be taken as the law of Indiana
No Supreme Court will disagree with his logic
his legal reasoning. Gilliom is lawyer. Gilliom
20 is a politician.
When he said that the Legislators had no right
& increase their salaries the people of this State
-ay be assured that the Legislature had no legal
sht to Increase its pay,
They may try to get more money. They may
tempt by subterfuge and by camoufage to hide
cir purpose, They can not legally get more money
pm the State of Indiana, than the six dollars day
ed by statute when they desired to become Iegisla-
rs.
This may be unfortunate. If they passed real
ws which the people wished and demanded theS
sn4 ven be paid many times the ten dollars a

PRESENT MEDICAL BILL
Outline New Means to Prevent Un
licensed Practice.

Changes in the medical practices
act to make it enforcible, are emu
merated in a bill introduced in the
Indiana House Of Representatives by
Representative Walter Huffman
Rep.) of Elkhart. -.
Directed at those who practice med
icine without a license, the bill out
lines line of procedure to prevent
unlicensed persons from practicing
medicine.
The chief change lies in the mat
ter of enjoining persons charged with
law violating.
The bill introduced by Huffman
would enjoin the person charged
from operating until he had cleared
himself of the charges made.
The bill is being sponsored by the
Indiana State Medical Association,
which has 1000 members.

Dispensing Liberty

Ma Ferguson has issued 3.2Ss
clemency proclamations and says
she is through. Yesterday she
granted forty-two full pardons. two
remissions Of fine and jail sentences
one furlough and one Communication
OF a twenty murder sen.
tence for three years. At least fifty
additional pardons have been
granted. 1t Is said, but not an.
nounced, owing to the inability of
clerks in the secretary of States of
flee to keep up with the rush.
Austin is besieged with belated
petitions for mercy, and the wall
that will go up because of Mas
announcement is bound to be
spontaneous and sincere. No one
looked for her to suspend operations
until the last moment. Meanwhile,
Jim Ferguson declares that his
wife's pardon record represents not
only even handed justice, but good
finance. He says It is putting the
prison system in better shape by re-
lieving the congestion and leaving
fewer convicts for the State to
support.

Shutting Door on Peace
Opened Door for
JingoiSm.
By NJ. f. Tracy

The Republican party has leaned
backward to discredit Woodrow VIII
son, going farther than It's sensible
leaders would have preferred IN order
to wreck his program.
Some Democrats have helped.
Our troubles in Latin-America con-
stitute but one of thr disastrous re-
suits. Narrow minded partisanship
has produced a misshapen foreign
policy.
When the door was shut on move
ments in the interest of peace, IT
was necessarily opened for jingoism.
The bumptious attitude this Govern
ment has assumed toward Mexico
and Nicaragua is the logical outcome
of a consistently mean effort to crush
the work of n statesman for the
sake of a party.
We are out of the League of Ma
tions, out of the World Court, out
Of tune with every big constructive
activity in the world. If the Boil
shevists call us imperialistic, they
but voice the suspicion that millions
have come to harbor.

Business, Sentiment

has just bought the school house
where Mary went with her little
lamb" The Industrial wizard was
evidently Just as much impressed
with the old rhyme as the rest of
us, and wanted to preserve its asso-
Citations. No poem has been more
commonly learned, or remembered,
none more parodied or abused.
1t is a paradox of human nature
that we laugh at the things we cher
ish and then try to balance the ac-
count by enshrining them. Henry
Ford has made his fortune by wreck
ing methods and customs of the past.

greater delight than TO spend some

No Path of Roses

A convict's wife has sued the Fer
gusons and the sheriff on the ground
that her husband was pardoned be-
cause she had deserted her children
and he had to come home to take
care Of them. She declares this un-
true, that she did not leave her chill
dren, that the statement damaged
her and that she is entitled to $780,
900 by way Of rccompense. The way
Of pardoning Governor is not rose
strewn by any means. Neither is
the way Of the people Of a State that
has pardoning Governor.

COMPULSORY. VOTING

Every and woman who refrains from vot-
ing in primary election would become criminal un-
der measure introduced by the best member OF the
Marion County delegation in the Legislature-a
woman.
All that she hopes to accomplish could be done
by this simple process. Every good-minded and pub
ic-spirted citizen would applaud her solution for
present evils.
She proposes that every citizen, woman,
who refrains from voting at primary of the party
to which they belong be made a criminal.
She proposes that any citizen, man or woman
who refrains from voting in any election be branded
with the scarlet letter.
Her purpose is commendable.
But there is grave precedent as to whether her
methods will add anything to the common fund of
democracy.
What would happen If thousands Of uninformed
and unnterested voters were compelled to cast a
vote in the primary.
1t may be assumed that voters male and female,
VINO cared SO little about their candidates as to
reach preference would add little to the decision
of a primary.
1t may be presumed that any voter, male or fe-
male who cared SO little about the result of an
election not to vote could add but little to the
organized intelligence necessary to make a democ-
racy reality
lH.
Whenever we have seen evil we have passed a
law. We have tried to send men to jail for omis-
sions and commissions and the general result has
been that we have had a government by the
minority. very small minority.
1t is debatable question as to whether forcing
lot OF Indifferent and uniformed men and women
TO take part in primary Of election will add to
an Intelligent verdict in either primary or election
What is needed most Of all is an intelligent Wig
orous leadership in both parties in the primary More
essential is a difference between the candidates or
issues and character in the election
We have been creating lot of criminals by law.
We have been making decent men and women out
laws by statute.
II we can force Intelligence, democracy 6ecencv
human brotherhood into the ballot by creating more
criminals through slackers, let's try it.
But experience has shown that progress never
comes by compulsion and force
The highly commendable goal sought bv the
lady legislator is too ideastic as to promise results
Addition to the number of votes either in nri
mary or election of those who are uninterested or
unnformed does not offer a solution for our present
evil.
Public interest and public sentiment are the
only safeguards of public rights These can not he
compelled. The man woman who votes for the
simple purpose of evading Jail or fine can not he

thought or zeal which be the foundation of all

thusiastic audiences. The Boston
Post declares: THE qualities which
place Mr.. Rachmaninoff as a pianist
in the very vangnards of his col
leagues were again and gratifyingly
in evidence; the big proportions, the
sense, artistically. as well as physi-
cally, of force in reserve; the indivi-
duality in phrasing; the bold ener-
getic outlines which Rachmaninoff
gives to nearly everything he plays" "
Roland Hayes whose artistry dur
ing half a dozen years has won the
highest recognition in London, Paris,
Vienna and Berlin, is again repeat
ing his triumphs in this country. NIF.
Hayes unique possession is the sing
ing soul of a poet-a tender, sensi-

only bear the pain of a public ex-
posure yelled in music. The mans
shy and tremulous reactions have
that intensity and vividness which
finds expression in great art. Mr.
