A Subject That's TickIiSh

TT positively does not follow however that because
Il a sports commentator opposes the Garden corpo-
ration he does out of resentment for having been
denied graft The most persistent and effective en-
envy of the management and policy of the Garden
during the last three four years is sports editor
who acted for honest reasons of his own and re-
lentessy pointed out graft within the Garden family
He can look Fitzpatrick Jimmy tombstone the
matchmaker and a great intriguer dead in the eye
any time. There other square men who crlticse
the Garden for equally honest reasons or under
orders.
So it is a ticksh subject. But even So that can
not this time forestall discussion of the Of the
power of the press to gang up on victim and put
him out of business bring him to his knees The
thing has gone too far and is longer under con-
troll.
In this case a rival corporation has been under
newspaper auspices to take the Gardens bust
with charity stooge in the promotion of the
fights. The ownership of the papers disclaims any
connection with the prize fight business claiming to
be merely the sponsor Of charity, which is of ITSELF
quite worthy.

The BOrah From Within

THE destruction of all American cooperation
Il with the League of Nations was a political
triumph for the statesman from Idaho. He was the
chief spokesman who succeeded in convincing the
American electorate that the instrument was not
only useless but dangerous well.
That was a good many years go. and it must be
admitted that the fight which Borah won has re-
NAMED won for his side The League has languished
almost to the point of dissolution. The triumph of
the isoatonist idol is almost complete. say almost
because there is catch in the result. The same
flaw appears in all Of BorahS victories. Since he
killed the League the Senator has never been able
or willing to suggest any kind of international ma
chincry TO take its place.
Borah is at heart a fox hunter. With him the
days work is done at the kill. Or, to vary the
metaphor he has broken many eggs but never yet
produced an omelet Naturally 1 admitting that
same of Borahs battles leader of the opposition
have been fine fights for good causes But he hardly
seems a logical choice to lead an Administration
committed to either recovery readjustment His
theories OIL the positive side are extremely vague
William E. Borah has specialized almost exclusively
in what not to do.

It's Happened Before

DUT it is a popularity of newspaper owners and
- executives that they do not always know every
thing that goes on in their shops. similar
perience befell a newspaper in Chicago about 20
years ago when boss editor who deemed by
the management to be very hot became one of the
boldeSt raiders in the history of the newspaper game
and was held in high esteem by the main Office
until it finally disclosed that he had participated
in graft of $10500O eXacted from a company which
sold some voting machines to the county. Incl
dentaly, the voting machines were scrapped later,
but that may have been merely another graft
Some newspaper owners have made couple of
half hearted attempts to clean up graft in their
sports departments, but have really gone down
the line possibly because the evil seemed minor and
not worth a scandal Another reason that one
editor with notorious chisler in position of trust
and responsibility his paper always expressed the
highest confidence in his man.
However, the present is one involving a ia
nous American institution. That makes it news.
The newspaper business has been under fire from
Frank Roosevelt and also such irresponsible, but
clamorous demagogues as Huey Long and Upton
Sinclair for the last two years, and it would be a
healthfu thing for to make real investigation
under conditions by some authority with the power
to subpoena books and box Office sheets confidential
under oath subject to citation for contempt
and the consequences for perjury loss of memory
Reticence in the matter does not protect either
the paper or the writer's who have always spurned
graft 1t merely shields any individuals who happen
not to belong

Aug. 23.-The

w convention of Young DEM
ocrats meeting in Milwaukee to-
day faces something of crisis on
two counts. One is whether the
Young Democrats shall be the
political vehicle of the Young
RoOSeveltS.
Two, is whether the Young
Democrats shall expose themselves
to the onest-to-goodness, ideal
istic virus of New Dealism, or
continue to plod along on the safe
and solid sidewalks of Jim Far
leyism.
Of these two, the first is more
spectacular, the second more fun
damental. No one is going to care
very much two months hence or
two years hence whether James
Roosevelt continues to be a ma
tional officer of the Young Dem
ocrats.
But the question of whether the
younger members of the Demo-
cratic party shall accept the new
and (for many people, revolution
airy policies of the elder Roose-
welt, is one which gets to the root
of most of the Presidents trouble
within his own party today.
1t is a pretty safe bet that both
the young Roosevelts and ideal
istic New Dealism will come out of
the Milwaukee convention on the
little end of the horn.
THE Young Democrats got
l. their first breath of Jimmy
Roosevelt back in the glamorous
days when the Democratic party
was solidly united behind the one
goal of defeating Herbert Hoover;
back in the good old days before
revision of the Constitution, or
the holding corporation bill. or
processing taxes ever had arisen
to plague party councils.
Jimmy at that time became
treasurer of the Young Demo-
Gratis. After all the shouting was
over and the new organization
met in Atlanta for its annual con-
vention, Jimmy mailed in his
treasurer'S report. For some I'M
known reason that report never
arrived. Nor did Jimmy attend
the convention.
And when a large delegation Of
bubbling young Democrats went
to call on the President-elect at
Warm Springs, they all chorused:
where's Jimmy?"
Il guess" replied his patient IA
Their, that he's busy trying to
make living at insurance.
After that Jimmy indicated that

range from 81 for box seats to Is
cents. The other prices are S1.50,
81 and so cents. The tickets are
tax exempt, because Of the nom
profit basis on which the Mu-
nicipal Theater Association is OPP
Grated.
On the basis of population diff
ferences of st. Louis and Indian
apolis ticket prices here possibly
should be 81 for a box seat, so
and 25 cents.
OFFICIALS of the st. Louis
~ organization, discussing the
basis on which a venture similar
to theirs might succeed in Indi-
annapolis, we're careful to warn
against starting on too large a
scale Six productions comprised
the first st. Louis season. This
year II we're given.
Consideration of presenting
municipal opera in indianapolis,
or another city, naturally brings
up the question as the effect upon
privately owned entertainment
enterprises.
The logical answer appears to be
that such an undertaking will work
no real hardship on any business,
but rather will be of real benefit.
1t is apparent that today there
is a trend toward better music.
The signing of many opera stars
by motion picture producers is
indicative of that trend Munich
pal opera doubtless would awaken
an appreciation Of good music
among an ever increasing number
of persons and they naturally
would be interested in screen Of
ferings which included the better
type of music.
There is every reason to believe
that municipal opera in Indian
apolis would result eventually in
larger and more appreciative au-
dienceS for the winter season con-
certS presented in the city
through the efforts of Mrs. Nancy
Martens.

NTHER individuals or organ
" izations desiring to present
good music doubtless also would
be benefited by the cultivation of

would provide.
Surely there would be a. direct
benefit in salaries paid musicians,
electricians, stage hands, ushers,
chorus members and others who
would be given employment should
Indianapolis embark on this mu-
steal venture.

LDUllIllblttS-
Other committees chosen by the
board of directors from its mem
bership are concerned with ad-
ministration and finance, public
ity and seat sales, concessions and
welfare.
Financing is accomplished by
the guarantor method. This sea-
son there are 877 guarantors, who
subscribed fund of 100000. Half
of this amount was advanced to
the theater- association preceding
the opening of the season on June
3. This sum, with money derived
from season ticket sales, provided
a fund for financing preparations
for the summer cycle of produc-
tions.
At the close of the season, the
money advanced by the guaran-
tors is returned to them. except in
case of deficit, when any guaran-
tors proportion of the loss is
taken from the surplus of the
season following and paid to him.
A NY guarantOr, upon election
N by the board of directors,
may become a member of the Mu-
nicipal Theater Association. An
nual dues are $40 a member.
The association maintains ex-

ing in the heart of downtown St.
Louis. In the lobby of the build
ing is a ticket office, and double
lines of ticket buyers are the rule
rather than the exception at al
most any hour of the day.
At the theater the courteous, in
telligent handling of the audience
is a pleasant factor. There are
plenty of ushers and they get
their work done quickly and eff
GENTLY.
The municipal theater provides
employment for a large number of
persons. There is a symphony
orchestra of so pieces. and the
ladies and gentlemen" of the
chorus number "a.
Young men and women Of st.
Louis form the chorus, while the
principals of the various produc-
lions are obtained from New York
and other theatrical centers. All
the principals are professionals of
proved ability.
Despite the hard work and long
hours. the st. Louis part of the
casts takes to the job intensively.
PERFORMANCES close about
Il IL at night. Near the end
of the week, a rehearsal is called
for 11:30. and it often continues
until 5 the next morning. And in
the afternoon following there will
be another rehearsal. That isn't
the end, unless the director de-
cides the performance is what he
wants.
Should indianapolis copy the st.
Louis plan, doubtless 40 or SO
young men and women would be
given chorus places providing some
remuneration, an opportunity to
see stage stars Of ability in action
and at the same time render a
distinct civic service.
With attendance here in pro-
portion to that attracted in St.
Louis, concession sales would be no
small item in financing municipal
opera.
Season ticket sales provide an
other method of obtaining funds

Congressman Richard M. Dun
cans Office couch by night.
There is no question that both
Jimmy and Elliott Roosevelt are
anything but popular with the
Young Democrats. Young Dem
ocratic resentment against the
transforming tour that Jimmy and
Elliott made of Texas this sum-
mer was not an accident.
The opposite is true of their
father. With the young Demo-
Gratis, the President is about SO
per cent popular.
This, however, is personal
popularity. 1t does not extend to
issues. On these the Young
Democrats, as a whole, perhaps
are even more conservative than
the elders of their party.
1t was the Young Democrats of
Texas who were among the first
to censor the President for his
blast against the Supreme Court
and his admonition that the court
had taken the United States back
to the horse and buggy age"
HNE reason for Young Demo-
~ cratic conservatism is that
most of them are striving for
posts within their own local
Democratic machines, or else they
hold government jobs or are striv-
ing for government jobs.
At the Kansas City convention,
Jim Farley did not hesitate to
pass out word to certain Young
Democrats that if they didn't stay
in line on his measures their ten
ure as government job holders
might be distinctly limited.
Farley also signed letter writ
ten by Dan Roper Jr., son of the
Secretary of Commerce and a
militant reactionary, asking that
all Cabinet officers and other New
Dealers confer with Mr.. Roper
before accepting speaking engage
ments before Young Democratic
clubs.
In other words, Mr.. Farley and
Mr.. Roper wanted to pick and
choose the clubs which would re-
ceive Administration favor.
There has been some indication
of free-thinking among the Young
i
Massachusetts, but their voices
have become thin and discour-
aged.
In the long run. the Young
Democrats, like many of their
elders, win root for Mr.. Roosevelt,
but knife him on his most i'm
v,rtant policies.
