REGIN HERE TO-DAY.

To forget the bitter troubles Of
her domestic life, Lucinda bruce,
Fifth avenue society matron, accepts
an invitation to visit the film studio
of the famous screen star, Alma
Daley. The visit is suggested by
Harry Lontaine, who hopes to form
motion picture company in Cali
f6rnia. II, is the husband of Lucin-
da's school girl chum. Fanny Lon
taine. On the trip to the studios
on Ninth avenue, Lucinda muses. over
her break with her husband, Bellamy.
Wealth, youth, beauty, had failed to
bring happiness to their Fifth ave
nue. home after five y3lrs OF mar
ried life. Bellamy's heavy drinking
promiscuous flirtations had destroy
ed her carly love for him. And now
Richard Daubeney, her old sweet
heart, had returned to New York.
She tried to forget her personal at
fairs watching King Laughlin, the
director, and Tommy Shannon, lead
ing man, rehearse a scene,

thing who, only few seconds since,
had been groveling and weeping on
the floor.
AS one who finds the resources of
her mother tongue inadequate, Miss
Daley in silence fixed with a porten-
tious stare the back of King Laugh
lin, who, all ignorant of the doom
lowering over his devoted head, kept
on swaying airily to and fro, smiling
his ecstatic smile and measuring the
music with fluent hands.
One of the Daley feet began to tap
tout the devils tattoo, she set her
arms akimbo, her eyes were quick
with baleful lightnings, her. pretty
lips and ominous line; and ensemble
that only too clearly foretold: At
any minute, now!
With a smOthered grunt, Mr.. Culp
heaved out of his chair and Ium,
bered over to his wife, interposing
his bulk between her and the un-
conscious object of her Indignation.
Whatever Culp said, it proved effec-
tual; for nothing worse came of Miss
.Daley's wrath, at least publicly,
than a shrewish retort of her head,
and sudden, stormy flight from the
aScene.
That's the stort of thing you're up
against all a time in the fillum bust
ness, d'y'see," sighed Mr.. Culp with
a rueful grin. "a lot of kids, that's
what we got to make pitchers with.
And audiences all a time kickin' be-
cause we don't make 'em better &.
\ lot of kidsr
Lontaine presented him to each of
his guests; and thus reminded of the
first purpose of their visit, which he
seemed to have forgotten altogether,
Mr.. Culp delayed long enough to eAll
a worried young man with the eye
shade Mr.. Willing, and charged
with supervision of the proposed
tests.

ooh, Tommy Shannan" said Mr..
Lane equally ommy's all right
he knows what he's doing. All you
got to do is let Tommy Shannon
alone and he'll ring the gong every
shot"
But if that's the case, why did
Mr.. Laughlin take so much trouble
to show him--?"
well, you see, it's this way" Mr.
Lane explained: Kings all right,
and Tommys all r/ht, but if Tom
my don't see a scene the way King
shows him, and King starts to bawl
him out, why, Tomm'll just walk
off the lot. And then where are you?
You can't finish your picture with
out your leading man, can you? And
there's maybe a hundred thousand
dollars invested in this proposition
already. One of the first things a
directors got to learn in this game
is how to handle actors"
L see" said Lucinda thoughtfully
"The way to handle an actor is to
let him have his own way"
"You got the idea" Mr.. Lane ap-
proved without smile.
But suppose" she persisted
suppose the leading man inscsts on
doing something that doesn't suit
the part he's supposed to play?
That's easy. What's your con-
tinuity writer for?"

writer is"
Why's he's the bird dopes out the
continuity the director works from
you know, the scenes in a picture,
the way they come out on the screen:
Scene one, scene two, and all like
that. Well, you get your continuity
writer, of course, and have him
make the change"
You mean you change the story
to please the actor"

THE PRESIDENT is RIGHT

The Washington dispatches report
President Harding as saying that he
has seen no more criticism of the
pending Tariff Bill than it has been
customary to ibestow upon such bills.
That is a truth which the weakened
and quasi-Protectionists ought to
bear in mind. The opponents of
Tariff Protection have always been
loud in their denunciation of pending
Tariff Bills, just as they are con-
stantly criticising Protective Tariff
measures while they are in force. Nor
have they been the only critics. In
terested parties, themselves PrOtec-
tionists, or claiming to be such, have
quite as freely criticised pending
measures which did not favor their
own industries to the extent they de-
sired, or who desired to secure Pro-
lection for their own products, but
would deny it to the producers of
their so-called ''raw materials"
Most of the people will recall the
loud criticism of the Tariff Bill of
1909 and many will remember the
howl that went up over the Mckinley
Bill of 1890. Especially will they re-
member the derision which was
caused by placing a Protective duty
on tinplate. William Jennings Bryan
declared in Congress that we would
never have tinplate industry in the
United States, yet we lead the world
in the manufacture of tinplate.
Schedule K of the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff was loudly denounced because
Of its increases yet the facts are
that not one single rate was in
creased. The claimants simply mis-
represented the facts, just as they
are now misrepresenting the provi-
sions and probable effects of the
Observation-Disclosures Bill. The Nc
Kinley Bill, the Dingley Bill, the
Payne-AIdrich Bill were all bitterly
attacked and their sponsors roundly
abused, yet, when those bills were
enacted into law, they brought such
prosperity to the country as had not
Heretofore been known. The same
effect viii follow the enactment OF
the pending Tariff Bill, a measure
which has been the subject of more
criticism in the aggregate because it
has been before the Congress longer,
and hence IN the public eye longer.
But the criticism has been greater
only IN the sense that the same criti-
cism has been more often repeated.
It is to be expected tfat Free Traders
will criticise a Protective Tariff meas

THE CAREER OF w. Y. (BHLY1
MORGAN
BY Earl Adans Clark

Topeka, Kans., July 10, 1922.-W-
Y. (Billy) Morgan, who almost every
one seems to think will be the Repub-
lican choice for Governor of Kansas.
has had one of the most interesting
careers I have ever followed.
He was born on April 6, 1857, in
Cincinnati, Ohio, but his parents de-
cided to move to Kansas when Billy
was but five years old. They settled
in Cottonwood Falls, where his father
William Albert Morgan, founded the
Chase County Leader.
Billy was educated in the Kansas
schools and entered Kansas Uni
Wersity at an early age, graduating at
the age of nineteen. He stayed in
Lawrence and worked on newspapers
there until he was twenty-one; when
he went to Strong City and bought
the Chase County Republican. At
that time, he was one of the youngest
newspaper publishers in the west
1t was while at Strong City that ne
met Miss Collie Adair, one of the
prettiest, most popular and most
charming bellies of the Sunfower
State and in 1890, they were married.
When only twenty-four years old
! Mr.. Morgan sold the Republican and
purchased the Emporia Gazette,
which he built into a great newspaper.
Later he sold this paper to William
Allen White, the present publisher.
In 1895 he took over the Hutchinson
News, which he still owns and pub
fishes. The News is oen of the best
known newspapers in this Section of
the country.
w. Y. Morgan has always been in
terested in educational matters and
in fact, everything that would make
Kansas a better state and its people
/ better citizens. He is a builder of
character and has staunchly stood for
all movements that would upbuild the
great commonwealth Of Kansas.
He has. done much to boost the
cities in which he has lived and is a
great force in the town of Hutchin-
son, where he has interested himself
in many enterprises that have made
the city what it is today. Billy Nor
gan has served his County in the Leg
islature and has twice served as Lieu
tenant Governor and as State Printer.
Four years ago he was candidate for
Governor at the Republican Primaries
and ran second to Henry Allen, the
present Governor.
When the United States entered
the war, Billy Morgan didn't stay at
home. He went overseas and served
the boys through the Y. M. C. A. and
we all know he was tireless and most
faithful in doing every possible thing
for their aid and comfort.
He has always lived clean life
and has been a clear thinker He has
the welfare of his state and its people
at heart. He is an honest and capable
leader that any state might we'll be
| proud to call it's Governor.

Experience in the past in the devel-
opment of this great United States
has proven conclusively that all the
component parts are necessary for
the upbuiIding of the country as a
whole, advancement and progress and
the high standards maintained by the
American people has gradually
crowded to the backward immoral
forces and those forces which have a
tendency to tear down and destroy,
and the forces which make for a good
living are constantly pushing to the
front and in the majority of commun-
tiles making adverse forces conspic-
uous by their absence.
The average individual does not
stop to consider what is necessary
for the maintenance of a home COM
munity, a desirable place in which to
live appealing to the average Amer
lean. They merely take for granted
been provided in large numbers and
enjoy the privilege of clean living,
not realizing how these things have
been accomplished, and that the ac-
complishment represents years of
hard work and struggle on the part of
the more aggressive and far seeing.
Residences are provided, made
beautiful in the part of the general
scheme OF things 10y individual effort.
Commercial institutions have been
established, schools provided for;
good roads built; public utilities in
stalled, social welfare organizations
maintained, each but an infnitesimal
part or unit in the general construc-
ton of a law abiding, home loving
and moral community, yet collective
ly providing forces which make for
good clean living which are almost
impregnable.

State. I do not intend to leave my
desk and travel over the state hunt
ing for votes. The people of Kansas
know me, or they may know of me,
through acquaintance and friends in
every county. believe it is the duty
of a public official to stay on the Job
and render efficient service for the
money he receives as salary. I think

the voters as a candidate for Secre-
fary of State on the issue of staying
on this job and earning my salary.
