Can you guess" what the other
man is thinking? Is a man who
thinks murder equally guilty with the
wretch who actually commits the
deed?
These and many other ethical
problems made The Witching Hour

all times. The Augustus Thomas
triumph has now been filmed as a
William D. Taylor Realart special and
will be shown at the Orpheum theater
for three days beginning Monday.

the spring ends of dilapidated seats in
ones aged automobile into the pos
terror part of ones anatomy when one
attempts to drive the ancient machine
across the street. The only change is
that the stones have grown a little
more edgy and rough with the passing
years.
What great changes take place in
twenty-nine years! Every kid seen
in this picture. If still alive. is a ma
ture man or woman, well over the hill
top of life and sliding down the other
side Many of them are parents with
children as large as these, some are
grandparents. All of the grown peo-
pie seen are now old men and women.
The Styles of 80 Years Ago.
Look at the curious mutton Leg
sleeves and the long skirts that the
women were wearing. Think of any
woman today walking down Kansas
avenue with two or three inches of
skirt trailing in the filth of the side
walk, and the sidewalks of that day
were even dirtier than they are now.
However, if grown woman had ap-
pcared on the avenue in 1892, arrayed
in a skirt of the modern length, her
act would have almost caused riot,
and she would have become an out
cast from society. (But the writer is
far from preaching against the mod
ern slOirt.)
lneTe were no duIOHlODlieS III To-
peka in those days, of course. Not
a person in the picture had ever seen
or heard of one. Neither had anybody
else. The word automobile had not
even been coined then.
Not an Electric Sign.
There was not an electric sign on
the whole avenue in those days.
There were no white way poles or
lights, nothing but big, sputtering, bug
gathering arc lights at street inter-
eections. Lines of ugly wooden poles
carrying a net work of wires and ca
bles adorned either side of the street;
one of them appears in the picture.
Today wire poles are as much a thing
of the past on Kansas avenue as the
pterodactyl and the brontosaurus.
. The building seen on the left was
the headquarters of Cope & Ander-
son, commission merchants. Both Mr..
Cope and Mr.. Anderson are still liv-
tng and still in the commission bust
ness, but not as partners, and in en-
tirely different part of town. The
building has been greatly changed in
appearance and is now occupied by
the Hindman grocery store.

The Republican majorities Of a year ago were
greater than any party can reasonably be expected
to hold, and some falling off was to be expected in
the elections of 1922. In Democratic circles there
Is . disposition to view the result Of the recent cleo
tons as evidence that the reaction has already set
in, and is well under way.
So far as the outside world is able to Judge, the
solution of the Irish problem depends on what ar
engagements can be made with reference to Ulster.
The veil of secrecy has not been lifted from the
proceedings IN London, but the fact that the nego-
tiations continue, together with the bits of infor1na-
ton which leak inevitably from such gatherings,
creates the impression that a basis of agreement be-
tween Downing street and Sim Fem is regarded
by both groups as being within reach if a satisfac-
tory disposition can be made Of Ulstct.
The Ulster premier, Sir James Craig, and
members of his cabinet have been in London for
several days for conference with LLOYD George. A
pessinistic impression was created by the declara-
ton OF Sir James in effect that Ulster would not
recede from her attitude Of A~loofness. and the COM
mendation given his firmness by members of his
cabinet. 1t has been pointed out, however, that at
the outset Sim Fein was. equally unyielding, but
that her position has developed greater elasticity
as the conference has progressed. i
1t may be taken for granted that southern Ire
land Will not accept dominion status without some
thing which can be interpreted as a recognition of
Irish unity that Ulster will not consent to the en-
tire REIMBURSEMENT of her separate provincial stat
us; and that the government will neither coerce
Ulster nor permit her to be coerced. 1t would be
easy enough to devise a dozen schemes which would
satisfy all these conditions and yet permit southern
Ireland to enter upon an era Of real self government.
But it is not SO easy to remove the antagonism and
suspicion which have wrecked so many plans
which. under other conditions, would have worked
admirably. ~

AMERICAN VALUATION - TWO oBIEc-
TInNS @

The pending tariff bill includes the plan Of
american valuations. That is, instead of assessing
duties specifically at SO much per pound, or per
yard, or per bushel, on commodities Of various kinds
and grades, or of assessing them on the basis Of
their cast in the countries from which they are inn
ported. the new bill provides in a large number Of
cases for assessment on the basis Of the value of the
goods in the American market at the time Of their
Importation. The plan Is defended on the ground
that it avoids the complications which cause great
discrepancies in prices in foreign markets, and that
1T applies to imports standards which ought to gov
crn IN their admission into our own markets.
Many objections are advanced, among them the
following two:
First, i Is pointed out that in having his goods
dealing IN unknown quantities. Under the foreign.
valuation plan the importer knows when he buys
his goods just what duty lie must pay. When His
goods arrive he presents his invoices and pays on
that basis, provided the classification is on the basis
tof COST. Under the proposed plan he must wait nm
