George Bancroft scores another great triumph in his new Para. mount picture Lady and Gent" which begins a four day engage ment at Warmers State tomorrow. Bancroft appears in the role of a self-styled "big shot" from the Dig town, merrily battling along with Wynne Gibson, a sharp-tongued, quick-tempered night club proprie- tress. These two are suddenly con. fronted with the responsibility or caring for a 12-year-old boy, left alone in the world at the death or ihs father, Bancrofts pal.

Branch the Last

Emmett Branch, Governor for a few
months, is dead. He was the last Governor
of Indiana who had courage to fight the util-
ity corporations when they went upon their
prowl.
Branch had courage. He had also a view
point that the people are to be served above
the greeds of contributors ito campaign
funds. He was brave enough to act.
One of the outstanding events Of mis- brief
regime was the demotion of John McCardle
as chairman of the public service commits
sion.
The telephone company had reached out
for more money. Branch, as Governor, pro-
tected the people.
True, his bravery can not be held up as
at all encouraging to young men who may
have an inclination to fight the peoples bat
ties. The corporations very deity elimi-
mated Branch from political advancement.
McCardle, very mysteriously, came back I'M
der a Jackson and continues under a Leslie.
But for one brief hour Indiana was out
from the shadow of the rule of corporations;
for one brief hour had a real champion.
The state owes Branch a debt of grateful
memory. The state needs, at this time, a man
with his bravery and his freedom from en-
tangling alliances with greed.
And at this time, the call is answered
With bleak silence on the part of those who
aspire to high office.

Which Are Right?

The people of this city, home owners, heads of
industries, operators of stores, have asked for a re-
duction in electric rates.
Public Service Commissioner Cuthbertson dis
missed the petition with the argument that in times
Of depression, with falling revenues, the people might
have to pay more instead of less.
He quoted some figures. They are not the same
figures which the company uses to persuade investors
to buy stocks. When in that role, the company tells
buyers that its earnings are 345 times the necessary
dividends on its preferred stock, including that which
it hopes to sell.
There are other figures which show discrepancies.
In the item Of depreciation, the public service COM
mission is told that there is set aside about $~1,900,000
for this purpose. In Moody's Manual, the Bible of
the banker, this figure is around a half million.
Some day the public service commission may in
quire into the matter. 1t may take an interest. Ger
tainly the reports to the public service commission
ought to be within speaking distance of those made
to the investors guide.

The Sins of Yestervear

Shed a tear for the passing of the Police Gazette.
For eighty-1ve years it blossomed weekly in all its
pink peccability in the barber shops, fire houses and
police stations of the land. Once it had a circulation
Of 100000.
Like all the indulgences of yesteryear, the Gazette
has been overwhelmed by the more meaty sins of to-
day. In the naughty n~ineties, for instance, we were
plenty wicked when we hoisted a stein of book beer
in an open saloon and toasted the coming of spring;
today we take our cocktails in the bosom of our adj
miring families.
When We gambled it was in poker or the Chinese
lottery; now we lose our wages in the stock market.
When we fought, it generally was with fists; now
it's with machine guns.
We were devils when we slipped into a variety
show to watch the dancing of girls in pink tights; now
the stage offers us the near-nudities of the Folies and
the Scandals.
And when we felt particularly depraved, we peeped
into the Police Gazette and scanned the pictures of
the big-muscled boxers and large ladies carrying
spears.
SO, thanks to Andy .Volstead, Al Capone, Earl Car
roll and the rest, our sins have become educated. And
the passing of the Police Gazette is just another cas-
ualty of progress.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DEING first of all a housewife Ca fact of which I
I'D am reminded frequently by advocates OF more
mammoth battleships) I am not supposed to have
opinions about the navy.
Yet why should the housewife keep silent upon
this subject, since she, too, must dig into the cracked
teapot for tax money?
And right now she is not for bigger and better
articles in the navy line. She is satisfied to get along
this year with what we have, just as she will get along
with her old cookstove so long as it gives good Serv-
ice. She looks with disfavor upon any S%plurging in
gunboats.
Moreover, she does not see any particular sense
in our marines being at Shanghai unless they load
UP American citizens and steam straight home. She
is beginning to realize that there is a good deal OF
bunk about this freedom of the seas business and
that the defense of national honor sometimes means
only the collection of interest.
She has learned that big business can go dressed
in the cloak of patriotism. And she has read about
poor old impoverished Englands once powerful naval
force, and remembers family that long ago a large
fleet belonged to Spain that was called by its owners
The Invncible Armada"
CHE is, in short, heartily in accord with one very
- able thinker, Professor Charles A. Beard, who ex-
plains that we easily can police our borders, but
that if We try to police the earth, we shall find
ourselves with an impossible job.
That is a job the housewife does not want, and
will not have. She knows her country occupies a
geographical position Of comparative safety with
an ocean or either side. So she has definitely de-
cided that too many admiralS may be bad for Amer
lea, and that Armageddons seem to occur with alarm
ing frequency.
She is tired of buying ammunition to kill her sons
She is weary of defending money with men and of
impoverishing her home and her heart to appease
other peoples hatreds.
So she ventures forth with a new ultimatum
Plenty of soldiers and arplanes and ships to repel
invasion. but not one single gun for aggressive war
fare IN foreign waters"

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-It seems to me that
when the Hawley-Smoot high pro-
tective tariff act was put across that
a very important item indeed had
been omitted: namely, high protec-

ing foreign government, municipal,
industrial and miscellaneous ones, to
prevent their dumping" on the poor
deluded American public via inter-
national bankers and their cohorts,
the too numerous to mention under
writing syndicates, ct al.
The big banks in the United
States, controlled in toto by the big
business bloc, unloaded their wares
on the many large banks in all the
cities and clear down the line to the
small county seat or rural banks.
The international bankers and the
national underwriting syndicates
long ago garnered their high COM
missions through high pressure sales
to smaller banking outlets and
tucked away in their Golfers a nice,
fat profit while the pickingS were
good.
Now we have a different picture
before US. Many hundreds Of mil
lions of European and South Ameri-

He Thinks War Is Funny

Will Rogers is reporting the Japanese Chinese war
from Beverly Hills, Cal. He has obvious advantages
over the reporters on the spot. He is far enough away
not to trouble about facts. And he is out of the range
of the guns.
Rogers Wednesday warned the public not to be-
lieve the reporters on the battle front. He advised
the public to discount their stories so per cent, be-
cause, ne said, the reporters were exaggerating and
because there are Chinese and Japanese censorships
which force coloring of news.
Though Rogers was rather a flop when he went to
the far east several months ago as a reporter, he
should at least have found out that American re-
porters in Toxic are not forced to write pro-Japanese
articles, and that there is no censorship whatever in
the international settlement from which the Shang-
hal battle stories are written.
The American public has a check on the news re-
ports, with their accuracy confirmed by official United
States government reports.
Will Rogers is not funny when he tries to wise
crack the greatest tragedy since the World war.
Gandhi's son went to Jail "for his country" in
stead of getting married. Maybe he's just antici-
pating the alimony racket.

Of Japanese militarism back upOn itsef for its owr

of japanese m~ilitarism back upon itself for its own
destruction.
If that moral united front will not stop japanese
conquest, an international and diplomatic and eco
nomic boycott will do so. Secretary Stimson does not
name those possible weapons, but the inference of his
declaration is that the United States is prepared to
defend the peace machinery with more than words
if only the other powers will help.
That, in our judgment, is the right policy, the eff
fectiye policy. Since Japan began her conquest last
September, the Scripps-Howard newspapers have
urged this policy to which Secretary Stimson now has
given such emphatic expression.
We believe all the prestige and the power of
American public opinion and government is behind
the Stimson doctrine. It is a new charter of Chinese
liberty and the open door in the far east. 1t is a
decree to enforce the Kellogg treaty outlawing war
everywhere.
War can not be outlawed by statements alone, but
so long as the United States, the most powerful ma
ton on earth, upholds the Stimson doctrine the
nations will not lack leadership toward a warless
world.

Small bits of food chewed slowly

masses of food may cause trouble.
Until one learns to manipulate

If there are spots in the gums

favorite mouth wash.

D0pDIer Effect

TT is important to keep this last
l. fact in mind. Astronomers be-
lieve the distant nebulae to be re-
ceding, because of the shift of the
spectrum lines toward the red.
When this shift first was dis
covered, some astronomers thoupht
mat it was due merely to the curry
allure of space, and not to actual
motion upon the part of the
nebulae.
This view, however, had to be
given up, because it led to a uni
verse which all astronomers agree is
much too small to fit the facts.
Professor Macmillan now objects
to accepting the shift to the red as
a true Doppler effect, that is as a.
result Of the motion of these neb-
ulae.

Astronomer Rejects Idea Of
Expanding Universe, Ad-
danced BIZ Advocates Of
Relatively.
THE idea of an expanding uni
i verse most recent theory Of the
students of relatively, is rejected by
DR.. William D. Macmillan, profes-
sor of mathematical astronomy at
the University of Chicago.
This is not the first time that Or.
Macmillan has disagreed with the
advocates of relatively. Both he and
his colleague, DR.. F. r. Moulton, OBJ
iect to the notion of a finite uni
verse set forward in the relatively
theory.
At the last meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advance
ment of Science, Sir Arthur Edding-
ton and Sir James Jeans advanced
the notion of an exploding uni
verse" that is, that the expansion
of the universe pow observed, was
the result of some explosion" at a
distant date in the past.
In a letter to Nature. famous
British scientific journal, DR.. Mac
MILAN takes exception to this the
DRY Of Jeans and Eddington.
Applying his letter to Nature,
Dr. Macmillan outlines the reason
ing which he believes led to this
explosion theory.
Within the last two decades, as
tronomers have become agreed that
the family glowing masses which
can be observed with telescopes in
remote portions of the heavens are
not gaseous nebulae, as had been
supposed, but are systems of stars,
similar to the Milky Way (Which
includes the earth. sun, and most

RooseveIt's Summary Dismis-
sal of a Powerful Tammany
Leader Is Bound to Create
O Favorable Impression
Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.zAs a mat
IN ter Of abstract justice, Sheriff
Farley's removal by Governor
Roosevelt of New York should be
discussed without reference to poll
tics. AS a matter of fact, it won't
be-.
Sheriff Farley got what was COM
ing to him, which is just another
way Of saying that Governor Roose-
welt did the right thing, but that
doesn't satisfy most people. What
they want to know is whether he
has strengthened his chances for
the Democratic presidential nom
nation.
He most certainly has. This sum
mary dismissal of a powerful Tam
many leader is bound to create a
favorable impression throughout
the country.
Neither should it be taken for
granted that the Governor has lost
anything in New York.
