one or MR.. DlnsI.y,. Estimates.

AS early as July, 1.-THE News" pointed
out the ridiculous fallacy of Chairman
Dingley's estimate of the revenue to be
derived from the baggage of tourists re-
turning from Europe. This great fnan-
cier gravely informed Congress on the
eve of the passage of his bill that $10,-
COG, 900 revenue a year would be derived
from this source alone. The protectionist
papers gravely endorsed this claim.
We published, yesterday, the official
figures of the Treasury Department for
the collections on this account at the Port
Of New York. They amounted to s4e,S92,
and as nine-tenths. of the foreign pas
senger traffic Of the country comes in at
New York. the presumption is that the
receipts for the entire country did not ex-
coed $4,000.
Yesterday we dwelt on the personal
wrong and annoyance involved in these
collections. Our only purpose now is to
indulge in a brief calculation. The month
of August is not one OF the heaviest for
returning tourists; but, on the other
hand, ii is far from being one of the
lightest,@not to be compared, for in
stance. with any month from December
on to July. If it were taken as represents
ing the average for the year, it would be
about an outside estimate. But If it rep
reseIfis the average Of the year, about
S600,e00 Is the grand total Of all the rev.
branch of the Dingley Bill, instead of the
$4,000. 900 which is the figure estimated by
Mr.. Dingley.
The real total is likely to be much less.
In August, a number of people were
caiiglt ware by the new tariff going
into operation while they were on the
ocean Of at the point Of embarking.
These arrived in the early part of the
month and paid by far the greater part
Of the tax collected. Towards the end
Of the month, hardly a soul brought in a
dollars worth Of dutiable goods. Besides,
the operation Of the law has become so
iutolerable that the Treasury Department
Is straining every nerve to get out of en-
forcing it in the brutal and barbarous
manner which has thu far prevailed.
For the rest, August brought in a num-
Der Of windfalls-Mr. Gerry, Mr.. Depew
and numerous other wealthy persons, SO
there is little hope Of anything in coming
months to swell the receipts to Dingley
measure
Thus, we have the ridiculous spectacle

Up1vERsAI1sTg CONVENTION.

The biennial session of the Unfyersalist
General Convention is to be held in ST.
Paui's Church, Chicago, October 1929.
This convention is the legislative body of
the Universalist Church, having eeeles-
teal jurisdiction over all Uniyersalist cler-
gymen and de-nominational organizations.
There has been for twenty years a lively
agitation for a change in the form of the
profession of faith, eliminating in q new
statement which was adopted at the ses-
sion two years ago at Meriden. Conn,
but which requires for its effect rati-
fcation at Chicago. The current senti-
raent seems to run against its confirma-
tion.

This paper is Democratic IN principles

questions.


When Mayor Hoos, on the one manu-,
and the Board Of Finance, on the other,
entered into a somewhat acrimonious dis
cussion Of Jersey City's finances, the
sEvening Journal seemed to see nothing
in it but an occasion for playing peanut
politics. Paying no attention to the truth
or falsity of the statements or the value
Of the arguments on either side, it sim
ply shrieked and called names and be-
haved generally in a malicious and ribald
manner.
The News however, recognizing that
both parties to the controversy We're sin
cere as TO motive. recognizing that both
had got hold of a partial idea of the
truth, recognizing thai the harsh things
said were only a deplorable accident OF
the discussion, recognizing that both sides
were bringing out important facts and
placing conditions in new and important
lights-The News, we say. recognizing
all these things, took sides with neither
party, bestowed vituperation upon neither.
made no effort to extract political adj
vantage from the fight, but earnestly and
sincerely tried to extricate from the mass
of words and facts and figures, the ger
minaI truth, through which the city
might be benefited.
IN this, we believe. we have been en-
tirely successful. What previously was
known to public officials but hardly re-
sarded by them, what was hardly known
at an to the general public was brought
out into the light OF day. The CENTRAL.
pivotal. vital fault in our financial vs.
TEN was located and defined, and now
it is so definitely ascertained and limited
that the Mayor has officially certified to
1t over his hand and seal in a letter to
Mr.. Simeon II. Smith, in which he has
enjoined him to actually perform the du-
fies of the Office which he holds, and
Collect the Taxes.
We nave reason 60 think that Mayor
Hoos is not the only city official who has
been aroused ont of 1ethargy by .eThe
News" plain statement n convincing
proof of the bedrock trouble. We be-
Iieve the responsible persons are fever
ishly anxious to get a chance to do their
duty now They realize that the scales
have been removed from the voters
eyes. They are eager to make a record.
In handling this matter with temper
knee and seIf-restraint, in endeavoring to
bring out the truth instead of manufac-
turing campaign fireworks, 1.-THE News
has done it's duty as the servant of the
people, as distinguished from the reek-
less and plant tool of a party machine.

She was sitting up straight in a straight
backed chair;
There wasn't snarl in her shining hair,
There wasn't a speck on her dainty dress,
And her rosy face was full of distress.
When drew near to this maiden fair,
She suddenly rumpled her shining hair,
And dropping down lin heap on the
floor,
Unified her voice in wall most sore.
"Now, what is the matter, my pretty
maidT'
"I'm all grown upr' she dolefully said,
"And I'm lonesome, as lonesome as lone
some can be,
For Humpty Dumpty and Riddle-Me-Ree.
"There's Little Boy Blue, who used to
creep
Under our haystack, and fall asleep;
He isn't my friend since mother dear
Did up my hair in this twist so queer!
"And the Dog and the Fiddle, they left
me, too,
When the baby into woman grew;
The Dish has hidden away with the
Spoon,
And the Cow has stayed at the back of

and all of them We're blue-eyed blondes
which only served to set off her own
brunette beauty.
Schemes of this sort ara viewed by
most brides as rather radical depar-
lures, and they necessitate such care
full planning, in which one little slip-up
may almost spoil the whole effect, that
the more conventional color plan is gen
orally considered better. With All
bright colors left out entirely, there is
still chance enough for rich and beauti-
full effects, and this January's brides
have been handsomely gowned lot.
The one of these dresses that was
chosen for the first picture should sue-
gest to the girl who has few yards of
the old-time very wide fIouncing of
lace that she may count herself lucky.
So be advised, If you are such a girl.

that is desired can be raised, neyerthe-

1t is no wonder, in view of the beauty
of such dresses, that women want to
get married two or three times these
days, and widows actually are going
into white at their second weddings
Description of this last brides cos

Is the very time when the possession
of sueh few Yards will enable you 10
have the prettiest wedding dress that
ever was. Take this Illustration ana
the specifications that follow uhoer
consideration, and you'll see the apph-
cation It's front was white satin, cut
nrincess to lust above the knees-your
lace should be laid over the satln, the
upper edge of the lace being hldueh
under the drapery over the bust. Inc
skirt was completed by an undersKlrt
that extended from belt to the men,
bur which only showed below the prlh-
cess portion. The under skirt had Two
other lace hounces and the tram was
a separate one, falling from the Delt. IL
YOU have enough lace, you may cover
the satin of the upper part ol tue
bodice with it. but lace is needed, 100,
for the sleeves, which were OIL satih
covered with the lace drawn fun about
the arm and held the edge OF the lace
appearing below the satin as wrlst
frill. Such wedding gown Is the very
cream of the present style, ana rainier
than not use those f1ounces II you nave
them-well, '96 is past, so you can I ask
him, and it's too bad.
One feature of the midwinter bridal
outfit helps to make the winter bride
even more lucky than the bride or
June. This Is an almost priceless fur
cloak into which the bride Is put for
the carriage trip from house to church.
The one grief of the society bride Is
that she dare not wear ermine because
the black would ruin everything, and
If the little black tails were all pulled
off. why no one would know the fur
for ermine, no one would be enylous,
and what would be the good of the fur
then? But the full amount of envy
