TINES CHANGES.

One of the ways in which the most
sacred traditions and historic recollec-
lions of the distant past are torn asun-
der and demolished by the inexorable
materialism of modern times is shown
now at the ancient city of Jerusalem.
Somehow we always think of the old
city as it was before and after it be-
came The Mecca of the Christian world.
when the streets echoed to the same
sounds that they had for centuries,
and the people who went about the
streets were dressed in the same garb
that they wore in days of old. It is
difficult to associate Jerusalem with
the noise and hustle of the present, yet
railroad trains have been running into
the city for some time, and now a news
item informs us that the city has Just
had its first visit from an automobile
Just imagine what the roar and whis-
tie Of trains and the chugging of autos
must mean to those-if any are left in
the city-who still remember the sacred
atmosphere that once surrounded and
permeated it?

IT'S CRIME is YOUTH.

The Oklahoma legislature, which
has been doing some remarkable
things of late, is not, it appears, in
advance of the times, but rather a
hundred years behind them. For such
a startling statement as this, excellent
authority obviously is needed and it
herewith is presented-the London
Westminster Gazette.
The Gazette, weary of the contem-
plation Of parliament and kings. has
made study of the broncobuster leg
islature of our very newest state and
points out that the Guthrie law-mak-
ers in their progression from sage
brush to citizenship have reached the
identical spot passed by parliament a
century or so ago. Thus the two
hours of elaboration by the Oklaho-
ma legislature on the tissue" of pop
corn eating during the hours the
house is in session finds its legislative
counterpart in the parliaments of
Burke, Pitt and Fox. While Roaring
Bill'' of Oklahoma masticates the but
tered brand. these English statesmen
relieved the tedium of debate by
sucking oranges and cracking nuts
while lying at full length on the
benches" Joseph Hume, we are told,
was accustomed to MUNICH pears, which
his pockets always bulged with. while
Brougham, in 1928, punctuated his
famous six hours speech on law re-
form by sucking oranges, of which "a
hatful lay upon his desk"
Such Information comes as a con-
ISOLATION to those among us who, con-
templating the conduct Of the Okla
homa legislature and supposing that
it was progressive" shuddered to
think that in the course of time even
our national congress would attain to
the popcorn stage of legislation. We
are glad to know that instead of
darkening the future it looms blackly
In the past, a storm that has gone by.
AS for Oklahoma, we are sure that
once it realizes it is 100 years behind
the times it will come whooping up to
date and hitch its pinto to the future.

SOUTHERN PROHIBITION.

In a recont number of the outlook
Booker T. Washington protested
against the general assumption in the
northern section of the country of
the view that the southern states
favored the prohibition movement
chiefly, If not exclusively. as a meas
ure for protection against the criminal
negroes. He shows, on the contrary,
that it is due to a deep and wide
spread sentiment that restriction of
protection and as an economic policy
without distinction as to race or color.
Mr.. Washington's argument de-
rives much support from the fact to
which he calls attention that the anti
liquor traffic movement is just as
vigorous and radical in communities
where there are few blacks COM
paratively as it is in what is known
as the black belt. While the ethical
spirit which is so prominent in north
ern prohibition circles is not absent
in the south, the dominating con-
sideration here has been the need of
checking the growth of crime due to
indulgence in intoxicants.
Some of the figures presented by
Mr. Washington relating to the opera
tons of prohibition in the way of
diminishing the number of crimes and
arrests will be of interest. AS given
in an editorial in the Brooklyn Eagle
they are as follows:
"In Atlanta there were 76S cases in
the recorders court last January
against 1893, in January, 1907. The
cases tried for drunkenness had de-
creased from 341 to "a. The justices
of the peace report a similar falling
off in the charges of abandonment, OF
petty larceny and in dispossess war
rants. In Birmingham a local judge
reported to the mayor a decrease OF
SO per cent in the aggregate arrests,
of % per cent in charges Of assault
with intent to kill, of IL per cent in
gambling cases, of 80 per cent in cases
of drunkenness, of 35 per cent in
charges of disorderly conduct, 33 per
cent for burglary and grand larceny
40 per cent for vagrancy and 70 per
cent for wife beating
These figures are all the one way,
and show that the new law is not a
dead letter in Atlanta and Birming-
ham, large Industrial centers of
population, where, if anywhere, ii
might be expected extensive evasion
and non-enforcement of it would be
in evidence.

GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe.1


1t is extra mean to steal from poor
man. ioS m
Few men progress except as they
are pushed along by events.
Almost any woman knows how many
dishes Of ice cream there is to a
gallon.
Every woman imagines that her life
has been so varied, a history OF it
would make a story.
There is no reason why a woman
should always be pleasant and agree
able: she never expects to run for Of
flee.
Every baby is the sweetest baby in
the world You were once consider
ed the sweetest thing in the world,
although you may not look it now.
When the women say that wife is
neglected by her husband, it means
that he does not give her enough
money to buy good-looking clothes.
Somehow, when we see a woman
who has been married and divorced a
number of times. We are reminded Of
the man who is always falling in bust
ness.
When your business rival says mean
things about you, you may take 1t as
compliment: you are doing better
than he is. If you were not, he would
not abuse you.
The women may resent the mems
power to vote, but they don't feel Sc
riously about their sex getting the
worst of it until they see a man with
beautiful curly hair.
Nothing looks worse than an old
man with a pack on his back: Yet
that is what the young man is pre-
pairing for his own back with every
extravaganza he is guilty OF.
When your family skeleton gets out
and dances for the amusement of the
| neighbors, you will usually find it was
an intimate friend who unlocked the
door, and is pulling the string.
One out of every crowd Of boys be-
comes rich or famous. One out of
every crowd of boys grows up to be a
vagabond or loafer. And here is a
fact that few people seem to under
stand: The boy who becomes rich
man will have an easier life than the
boy who becomes O. vagabond There
is nothing in the story that a lazy,
wicked life is pleasant. The better
you behave, the easier you will get
along.

KANSAS COAAENT
REVELATIONS IN TAXABLE VAL
JATIONS

UATIONS.
II the first estimates of the taxable
valuation Of the property in many of
the counties in the state can be relied
upon. and there is no apparent reason
why they should not be conservative
estimates, the rate of taxation in the
state Will be reduced to one per cent,
and possibly it may be even less.
IN RENO county comparison made
Dy the assessor concerning personal
valuation in some of the townships
shows that personal property has in
creased little more than ten times the
amount at the last assessment. At
this rate 1t is evident that six or seven
times as much property will be found
In the county as formerly. This in
crease holds good ell over Kansas.
While the rate Of Increase in per-
sonal property will be higher than
that on real property, it is evident that
the value of the real property assess
ments will be increased to great ex-
tent. In cities this increase will be
less than In the country, but in the
aggregate 1t will be large.
All of this will clear away a stone
which has INSTRUCTED the advancement
the investment of more capital in the
state than any other thing: that is
the high rate of taxation.
Mar men with cash to invest who
live in the East, and who have been
told of the immense advantages the
state of Kansas offers in almost
every sort Of investment, have passed
by the state because OF the high rate
Of taxation. It has been impossible.
In many cases, to convince the possible
investor that the rate has not been
higher than he has been accustomed
to pay because he has not the patience
to listen to lengthy explanations that
do not always make matters clear.
Real estate men, land owners and
city officials all over the state have
received, and are receiving, thousands
Of letters daily from men in other parts
of the country with money to invest,
asking regarding opportunities for in
vestments OF all kinds in Kansas. With
these queries almost Invariably comes
the Interrogation as to the rate OF
taxation, and when the possible in
weston learns that the rate is from five
to eight or nine cents he will not be-
lieve that the assessment has been
made at one-third, one-fourth or one
eighth of the real value Of property.
No amount OF explaining will convince
one stranger out OF five that he would
not have an enormous tax to pay on
his Investment.
With the new law working properly
no explanation will be required regard
ing taxes. The figures will show that
the rate is as low as the lowest in the
country and men with money to invest
in business OF all kinds will come to
the state in plumbers not heretofore ex-
pected.-Wfchita Eagle.
