throat by Democratic doctor who
hopes the medicine viii kill the
patient.
One lesson certain to be learned
be learned by the innocent outlana-
er visiting Washington is that there
is truth in the highly colorful tales
enc hears Of spying and counter
spving by detectives.
Offices of Senator La Toilette
and others are said to have been
broken into and rifled, the object
to the game being to "get some
thint on the men chiefly con-
cerEed in the investigations.
1t Is, Of course, comparatively
easy to- get something on Il law
breaker, bat not so easy to "get
something on honest men.
Helpful Hints
If honest men were as timid as
ground hogs, few of them would
be here, for many honest men in
Washington see their shadows
every day.
To those contemplating a trip to
Washington III the interests of clean
government L am able to give these
helpfui hints:
Bring your talking machine with
you and play it in your hotel room
while holding confidential conver-
sations. 1t nullifics the operation
of the dictaphone.
If you have three telephone in
struments ON one line wire tappers
cannot operate.
Have confidential letters address
ed to some one other than yourself.
Do nOt~try to hide important pa
pers in your room.
Do not be deceived because your
papers have not apparently been
disturbed. They photostated them.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Like
Jericho of old, Washington is a
walled city but the hosts of Israel
have only Begin to march around it
and the wall still stands.
Through the city gates travellers
pass freely, with the eyes of
sleuths upon them; the mails come
and 60, though letters are in some
eases mysteriouslv opened and re-
sealed before delivery; the telc-
graph and telephone connect the
city with the world outside, though
both are said to leak at times.
Some truth, to be Sure, does escape
through the wall, but truth outside
of Washington does not look the
same as truth inside.
I have been here two weeks and
in that time have undergone dis
illusionment profound and painful.
i am staggered by the knowledge
that every hotel bell boy and every
taxi driver in Washington knew on
March 4, 1921, that to the affairs
bf Federal Government the morals
and methods of corrupt town
rouncil have been applied. =
Confidence Shaken
To what extent does the public
outside the wall realize this? l
judge that confidence has been
shaken by the Daugherty diselos-
ures, but L gravelv doubt that the
public is prepared for the further
disclosures.
Prominent Republicans Of the
more progressive type say the party
needs purging as il never needed il
before and feel it is incumbent
upon the Republican party to take
the bitter dose voluntarily rather
than have the dose forced down its

ing the many reviews and comments
in the various, papers and magazines
The film is ap adoption of Rafael
Sabatini S novel of the same name
and was produced under the diree-
ton of Rex Ingram. Ingram has a
flair for the spectacular, historical
type of motion picture drama, his
1.-The -Four Horsemcn of the Apo
calypso will always be remember
ed for its stupendueus scenic effects
and manner OF presentation.
The story of the young aristocrat
who takes up the cause cf an OPP
pressed people, even though il
means & life of danger instead of
case and comfort as the pampcret
son of wealth, has an appeal that
touches the heart of everyone. Young
Ramon Novarro surpasscs others III
the east and his portrayal of the
fiery veung lawvCr whose speeches
sway mobs places him high on the
ladder OF success, if not right at
the top.
Lewis Stone as the domineering
Marquis dc Ia Tour d'Azyr plays
his role with his usual fiHesSe and
is finished actor. Charming Alice
Terry as AIine is little more than
pretty picture throughout the
drama and it seems as if she misses
some of the opportunities for SUI
perb acting that her part carries.
Size is beautiful with her marvellous
clothes and wonderful head1resses
so that one can forgive the appar-
eIt lack of finish that her acting
should have.
The magnificent settings used
for the French revolution scenes
and the richness of the costuming,
with the faithfulness of detail not
cd, proves splendid foundation for
the tense, dramatic action that pre-
walls throughout the play. The
stirring strains of ,hc Marseillaise,
which accompanies much Of the
showing of the film, adds 10 the
enjoyment of the audience and puts
over the effect intended, that OF
stirring up n patriotic emotion to
put the audience in the spirit of
tie drama.

night, Thursday and Friday at ma
