Chinese Girls Learn 1t to Talk to One
Another.
Chinese women students in the lung
Flu College, Peking, China, are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Peking during
all of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cos; more than a
trip to America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern OF
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue.

an argument about it as a well-built
stone wall.
In the light of today's situation, we
can with entire propriety agree, l think,
that each side of this historic price con
troversy made n mistake.
The shOe-buying public sincerely mis-
took justified cost-increases for profit
eering. They were wrong.
The shoe making and shOe-selling in
terests sincerely mistOok the publics
temporary period of extravaganza for a
more or less permanent ability TO spend.
They, too, were wrong.
The public rarely quarrels with the
prices for Injuries, no matter to what
heights they may soar; but when it
comes to necessities, the inability to pay
or the definite unwillingness to pay in
evitably fixes a limit-and no economic
justification for prices above that limit
will ever obtain standing in the great
court of the American people.
The public then has it in its hands to
bring about a reasonable price for shoes,
despite the attitude of shoemen few
wears ago that they had educated the
public to higher prices and therefore
should charge high prices.
American shoemen, however, can well
take lesson from the EngllSh shoe
manufacturers who are making war
against leather substitutes in the manu-
facture of shoes and are insisting on
maintaining the quality of shoes during
the period of lowering prices. They are
also trying to educate people to make
their boots fit their feet rather than try
ing to make themselves fit their boots.
In England there is promise of a better
shoe at a reasonable price and it would
Greatly benefit their customers if the
American shoe men would adopt the
same policy.

In The Days News.

Edward Douglass White, who is in line
for congratulations today on the occasion
of his seventy-ffth birthday, will within
another month have completed ten years
of service as Chief Justice of the Supreme
court Of the United States. He became
an associate Justice of this venerable and
powerful judicial body in 1894, his APP
pointment being by favor of President
Cleveland. In December, 1910, he was
made chief justice. succeeding Melville w
Fuller. Justice White is a Louisianian,
veteran of the Confederate army, and a
Democrat. In the civil war he made a
creditable record, and when the cause he
had fought for went down at Appomat-
tox, he turned to law as a profession.
Politics and legislative service came later;
the latter as a member OF the state sen
ate and as a member of the United States
senate. He also had a team as associate
justice of the supreme court of Louisi-
am WHICH disclosed his qualifications for
judicial duties

The only surprise OF the election re
-urr.e is the size Of the landslide for
TorI,nr aud Coolidge, it having been
evident for several weeks that the PEG
.I'e were eager for a change in admins
,.a-ion. The widespread dissatisfaction
Nth the Democratic administration IS
h.vn by the change Of the following
states from Wilson four years ago to
TIard;ng: New Hampshire, Ohio, Kan
sas. Nebraska. Idaho, Wyoming and
Washington. Every section of the
country. except the solid South, is rep
resented in this list of states. The re-
i,crion Of Democratic policies is nothing
rov-. The returns show that any man
opposed to the present administration
and what it represents could have won
in this campaign.
The result illustrates anew the folly
~o.~rt;r~ to vituparation and abuse
- o. n.,tfcol opponent. Senator Hard
ing refused to indulge in calumny. He
did criticize the extravaganza and the
personal dictatorship of the Democrats
but did not charge them with dishonesty
or political corruption. Governor Cox
entered the campaign with the well de
fined issue of the Presidents league Of
nations but soon abandoned that for
campaign of abuse in which he made un-
sustained charges Of dagrant corruption,
unfairness and general cussedness of the
people opposed to him. The state of
Ohio which knew tie two men better
than any other state gave such an over
wheIming verdict against Cox and his
methods that they should be eliminated
from American politics in the future.
The result is a severe rebuke to Billings
gate by candidate for the presidency.
Equally striking is the failure of the
American federation of labor to control
politics of the nation. Samuel G0mpers
excrted all his power against the Re
publican ticket, charging Harding with
unfriendlincss to organized labor and us
ing every possible appeal to his organic
alton to defeat him. Certainly labor
unions will not be in the saddle with
the new administration.
The solemn referendum" on the
league of nations has been taken and
President Wilson's league of nations is
hopelesslv rejected. We do not believe,
however, that league of nations is lost
and are of the opinion that one of the
first duties of the new administration
will be to make suitable reservations for
the protection of America and enter the
international organization.
The result of the election places on the
Republican party great obligations. til
must bring America into proper posi-
ton with other world powers, eliminate
the war powers of the government in
time of peace, check government extrava-
gance and reconstruct the industrial and
economic life of the nation. Like its
president-elect it should not feel exult-
ant but be more gi-en to prayer to
God to make me capable of playing my
part"

The public will be interested in the
announcement that retail shoe prices

to 50 a pair on ordinary shoes and the
