Keller's Death Recalls Memorable
Battle
by JOHN NJ. GLEISSNER

The death in ST. Paul of former Representative
Oscar E. Keller recalls Of the most stirring Con
gressonal battles of recent years.
It was Keller who in 1922 launched the offensive
against Attorney General Harry M. Dqugherty Wnlcn
resulted in the forced resignation OF DaugnerIy from
the Cabinet two years later Keller was the DaVlo
who dared attack the Goliath of the Ohio gang, then
riding on the crest of party power and success
Keller was convinced things were, not as tney
should be- so he asked Oaughterys impeachment In

seldom has more courageous political battle
been waged and while Keller failed with disaster TO
himself he lived to see the accusations ne maze
substantated and Daugherty driven from public lte
politician for many years, Keller knew the cost
of differing with leaders of his party. Those IN
authority warned him. but he persisted in speaking
freely His punishment was persecution rldcule ana
abuse. and in the end political defeat. For while
Daugherty was driven from the Cabinet two years
after Keller attacked him, the difference bred per-
sisted and in 1926 Keller was defeated.
Soon after Keller asked Daughertys Impeachment
Governor Preus of Minnesota instructed the Republic
an organization not only to withdraw its support
of Keller but actively to oppose him. Preus spoke
of Kellers "disgraceful performance in proceeding
against Daugherty and denounced it as instgated
by "lawleSS elements

of political death.
keller won the election and returned to Wash
ington. Here he found arrayed against him all the
bigWigs of the Republican machine from House
Leader Frank w. Mondell on down.
He filed bill of particulars against Daugherty
with the House Judiciary Committee, charging him
with favoritism toward corporations and with an
illegal and unjustiiabe of power in obtaining the
injunction in the railway strike which Keller claimed
was framed" Keller cited the appointment OF VIII
liam j. Burns as chief Of the Bureau of Investigation
recalling that serious charges of jury tampering had
been made against Burns by Attorney General Wick
ersham during the Taft administration
Keller accused Daugherty vita deliberately con-

ers in the same vehicle. But we
have them this week in "The
Magic Flame" Here is a photoplay
that has been beautifully pho
tograped. The first part of the
picture shows the innocent and
honest love affair Of a circus clown
and an aerial artist. Their love is
the real article and the snake stays
out of the Garden of Eden until
the Count arrives. There is a
striking resemblance between the
clown and the Count, who turns out
to be a real Prince and bad egg
at that. This fact gives Colman
an opportunity to play both roles.
Some clever double photography or
something gives Colman chance
to fight and kill himself. Miss
Banky is the aerial star.
The picture has a corking good
dramatic climax when the count at
tempts to kill the clown, ending in
the count falling out of a hotel
window to his death in the sea.
Just as the clown attempts to es-
cape in the counts clothing, a
mission arrives telling him that his

breakfast at Sunrise" is the COR
rect vehicle for Miss Talmadge. It
is smart and has just enough
naughty and cute little winks in it
for spice.
Constance is delight in this
one. She has a rare idea of farce
and she knows how to put 'love"
into her eyes better than any other
woman on the screen today.
She and Alvarada have de-
licious scene when they make love
to each other over wine glasses.
Here is mighty smart acting.
Alvarado makes a good leading
man for Miss Talmadge.
I Bryant Washburn is the marquis
and Alice White is the good look

soever, Marie DreSSler is cast as
comedy Queen. She is good, but
the role has no bearing upon the
story at all.
One of the real features on the
bill is Paramount novelty film
called, "a Short Tale" in which
cute little puppy dogs take the
leading roles. This little movie got
big hand of appreciation when I

SAYS:

The 1927 football season came
to a real climax with Army beat
ing Navy, IA to 8, and Notre
Dame barely escaping a tie with
Southern California.
Seventy-f1ve thousand people
attended the former game and
$4,000 the latter.
What is more 20 the point, each
and every one Of them got his
moneys worth.
Let those who will rave at the

A Wonderful Chance

The Republican editors of the State have
decided to invite President Coolidge to help
them celebrate their golden anniversary.
Let it be hoped that he accepts and that
in preparation for his coming the Republican
editors make one final contribution to good
citizenship which will itself be golden.
Between now and the date of the celebra-
ton in March they can show the power OF the
press and the unselfshness of the press if they
will advocate policy of frankness and OF
honesty.
They can band together to force the Gov
ernor through the power of public sentiment
to call special session of the Legislature to
give Justice to this city in the matter of self
government.
The last Legislature took away from this
city the right to change to city manager form
Of government.
Over $4,000 citizens have now voted for
this change and the only reason that Indian
apolis worries along with a city council, OF
whose membership six are under Indictment,
is that the Legislature passed law that robbed
the city Of the right to change and tried, IN
vain. to keep John Duvan in the mayor s
chair.
The people of this city have registered their
wishes in this matter of change OF system,
change which will introduce a business system
Of government and not create the present sit
nation of huge Indebtedness without any provl-
sion for payment.
A special session of the Legislature, which
has majority of Republican members, could
show repentance and its freedom from the ma
chine which is now so discredited
A special session could really show that
there is an honest purpose within that party to
1s'clean up'' not only its own organization but
to change it's whole attitude toward the public
service.
Such session could demonstrate that the
party still does ''think with Lincoln and Roose-
velt'' as it's stationery pleads and boasts.
Such session could begin by being honest
with Indianapolis. 1t could then be honest
with the whole State. It could, if it wished,
reverse itself upon the matter of very neces-
sary investigations which were refused last
winter under the edicts of men who have since
demonstrated that they had very personal
interest in not being Investigated.
Here is a task which should challenge the
organization Of editors who are proud of fifty
years of service.
What a chance is theirs to lead the people
back to the principles in which their party was
founded
What a chance to offer to president as evil
dence Of good works, final act Of merit for
his approval

ROAD TO ROMANCE"
ON VIEW AT OHIO

At one time the island of Riego
was inhabited by gentlemen and
ladies of Spanish blood, but at the
time "The Road to Romance" deals
with, the island was a rendezvous
for pirates.
The whole island is under the
sway of corrupt judge, who is the
pirates best friend. Roy Darcy,
whom I consider one of the screens
best villains, plays the part of Don
Balathaser, who rules with a hand
of iron. Darcy has the power, to
make you hate him whole hearted
ly as an INSCRIPTIONS character, and
in this picture his power has not di-
minished in the least.
Senorita Serafina Riego, as played
by Marceline Day, is shy girl who
believes in her brother and dis
trusts Don Balathasar, who wants
to marry her. Her protrayal of the
girl of the seventeen hundreds is
beautifully done.
Don Carlos, the brother, does not
enter into the picture much, as he
is supposed to be dying. His acting,

father, the king, is dead, and that
he is king. They force the clown
to go to the kingdom.
The aerial artist decides to re-
venge herself upon the count and
tires to kill him, failing when she
realizes that clown has become a
king.
The ending is in keeping with
the swift action of the story. The
outstanding features are the circus

Colman and the sincere work of

The stage presentation Of 'Flor-
lda," and it is blessed with some

The chorus is made up Of South

ter Fredericks, the Giersdorf Sis

the lad that she is American and
not Russian at all, and the lad
realizes what a sap he has been,
and on realizing that he begins to
see how beautiful and wonderful
a certain American girl is when she
is just being herself.
1t seems to me that Frank Tuttle,
the director, has passed up a good
chance to do a very clever farce
picture, but he allows his cast to be
comedians instead of smart dealers
in satire and farce.
Because of this conception of the
story, futile has turned out an av-
erage fair comedy instead of a very
smart farce.
Miss Ralston does not possess the
touch of farce which graces the
artistry of Constance Talmadge.
Neil Hamilton is seen as the Ameri-
can lad who falls for Russian

Outlaw War-HoW2

Senator Borah, who is opposed
to the League of Nations and the
World Court, wants this country
to outlaw war, just like that.
You cannot outlaw anything
without law, and you cannot make
law mean anything without some
kind of a body to develop and en-
force it.
No nation ever established law
and order through independent,
unrelated agreements among its
citizens, and the world cannot
establish law and order through
independent, unrelated treaties
among nations.

For Example Germany

In Germany, where the dis
armament was forced by the
Versailles treaty, the situation
has changed.
In Germany, the people are
devoting themselves to a new con-
ception of national greatness.
Difficult as it has Abeen, the
postwar period has taught them
that peace hath her victories"
that there is glory in the field of
trade and science and that ma
ton can be prosperous without a
huge army.
No scorer did the German gov
eminent hint that it might back
soviet Russia in case of trouble
with Poland than business men
and labor leaders brought such
pressure as to change its mind
over night.
Give the people something to
think about, and there will not be
so much war.

Don't PiaysGo Wrong

If energetic people do not play
hard, they are likely to go wrong.
Nothing does more to keep the
war spirit alive in Europe than
lack of exacting sports.
Over there the surplus energy
runs to military training. Here it
runs to baseball, football, bowling,
basketball, prize fighting, track
meets and similar pastimes.
America has an outlet for her
excess strength and enthusiasm
which does not involve the art of
wholesale murder, and she gains
by it.

of the knights of
spain. I will say, however, that
Novarro is most satisfactory hero.
He gives the part humor and light
ness, although at times he gets
away with the heavy stuff. He does
not try to make himself one of the
swashbuckling type who stand
against all odds and conquer by
mere strength or luck or whatever
it is that is used, but he makes the
part human, and, being human, he
can run when discretion is the bet
ter part Of valor.
The majority Of the story is laid
on the island and around the home
of the Reigo's, who are the last OF
the line and the last of the gentle
folk on the island. AS a spy "Jose"
must mingle with both sides and
finally declare himself. Being I'M
wise, both sides know who he is,
and the rougher element tries to
get rid of him. But, as all good
stories end, so does this.
Novarro and Darcy have the
strongest roles in the piece, and do
the most justice to them. 1t is hard
to tell whether to love Jose Ar
mando for being such a brilliant
soldier and lover or whether to ad-
mire Don BalathaSar for being such
a scoundrel.
The story has more or less his
torical significance, and as such is
a good picture, although it lacks
much of being in the class of Ben

Large Families, Genius

A German professor claims to
have discovered that large fam
lilies are more apt to produce
genius than small ones.
He explains this on the ground
that in small families children are
sheltered and cared for to the
point of repression, while in
larger ones they have to shift for
themselves.
Something in that, when you
come to think it over, something
of essential value to any system
of education.

1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, a given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only. one let
ter at a time.
8. You must have a complete
word, of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
lions don't count.
4. The order of letters cannot be
changed.
