Brawn May Not Save Dempsey.

An authority on the prize ring once
said that any man of IT'S pounds was
big enough to fight all corners for
the heavyweight championship. BOB
FITzsIMMoNs never weighed as much
nor did Tom SAVERS, the Englishman
whom HEENAN the American fought
for the heavyweight championship
abroad. JEM MACE, long the best man
in England, was at his best at IT'S
pounds, and the gypsy fighter was
tough nut to crack with or without
gloves when he was past so. While
he was a clever boxer and a hard
hitter with each hand, 1t was his
footwork which made him great

Priscilla's Prayer Book.

When grandmother was a little maid,
OF ghosts and spiders and mice afraid,
Up In the garret under the caves
She found a book with yellow leaves.
An ancient prayer book, tattered and

The leather binding streaked and worn
And stiff with dampness and green with
mold,
But legible still on the fiyleaf old

Who came in the Maynower across the

And wore a kerchief and cap no doubt,
Was modest. quiet, and most devout.
She never shimmied or bobbed her hair.
Or drove an auto or took a dare,
Or played a game of bridge for gain.
Or piloted an aeroplane.
Or wore a wrist watch or made bet,
Or smoked In public a cigarette,
Or angled after a gilded son,

TUESDAY. JUNE 2s. 1921.
Put the President on Guard.

Senator KENYON and Representa-
tive MADDEN will have the whole
country behind them in their pro-
gramme to give the President power
to cut fragrant items out Of ma
tional appropriation bill.
Tie President of the United States
cannot, like the Governor of the State
of New York, exercise his discrimi-
nation in favor of proper and neces-
sary items Of expenditure and against
unnecessary and unjust!fiable items
of squander or graft. When an ap-
preparation measure goes from the
Legislature to the Governor he can
trim out the bad and spare the good.
When an appropriation measure goes
from Congress to the Chief Executive
of the nation he must either take it
all or reject 1t all.
The result is that members of Con-
gress who are promoting indefensible
spending schemes bend their strong
est efforts to tying them up in the
same legislative package with essen
tial appropriations In the further
ance of their pet schemes they do
not hesitate to resort to what Is moth
ing less than legislative blackmail
They threaten other members that
unless the raids on the Treasury are
tucked in with some measure sure
to pass they will obstruct. and even
defeat appropriations without which
the Government could not operate.
The worse their business the bolder
they are.
In the sense that the Government
must have appropriations for legiti-
mate purposes the members thus
threatened with the stcppage of i'm
peratively needed legislation are
helpless to resist the holdup game.
In the same sense that the President
himself must let the ugly thing go
through, though il be 10 better than
highway robbery, when to kill it
would be to kill the whole appropria-
tion bill to which the crooked items
are attached, he also is helpless.
Giving the President the power to
cut out any item that is a travesty
on sound business and an offence to
financial morality would protect the
American taxpayers from the loss of
hundreds of millions of dollars that
are now shovelled out of the Treas
ury in brazen defiance Of both the
appropriating power ir Congress and
the vetoing power in the White
House.
If anybody doubts what the Amer
Z ican people want to dc about such
Treasury cracksmen let Congress
put the change ir the fundamental
law up to the nation. 1t will GER
tainly and overwhelmingly adopt the
amendment which is sought by SEN
ator KENYON.
Put the President on guard.

what has oeen going on In the last few

their animating motive the forcing out

of the railroad outlaw" strikes a little

Good Tidings.

An old proverb, with a surpris-
tngly fitting application to these
days, runs "As cold waters to a
thirsty soul. so is good news from a
far country" This happens to be the
25th in the XXVth Chapter Of the
Book of Proverbs, and comes to mind
at hearing, in the midst Of surfeit
of bad news, the good tidings that
the emergency of the great famine
in China is past. Bishop GRAVES Of
Shanghai has cabled:
"At first It had not seemed possible
that the news could be true. Mr..
LAMONT, chairman of the American
Committee. however has ascertained
that due to abundant rains in the
famine stricken areas, and early har-
vests, the backbone of the famine
has been broken. 1t Is time to ex-
press some merited feelings Of salts
faction that people have so gener-
ously responded. This has brought
to a close one of the most tragic
chapters in the history of China, If
not OF the whole wor O. Years to
come will reveal the fact of the
invaluable aid rendered to our Chi
nese brothers by the people of our
country"
The money cabIed from the United
States during the keenest distress of
the stricken land on the opposite
side of the earth ran into many
millions, given with no expectation
of any reward or return from those
rescued save the unhesrd thanks OF
an allen" race still too weak to do
more than gasp their gratitude to
the unknown donors so far away.
Readers of the news in these days
often fling down their papers with
some such exclamation of soul fag'
and depression as Whats the
use?-nothing but strikes and lock.
outs, holdups and murders, divorce
scandals and gigantic graft" And
yet here is assurance of the power of
far off agony to strike through the
very globe itself and so agitate the
vast seismograph of human sympathy
that II records that beneficent dis
turbance in golden tracery of out
poured help. Here are the unlocking
Of hearts and purses and the swift
response of tangible assistance until
the cables themselves have to flash
orders to desist, as the sorest need
has been relieved. Where the Chi
nese people, mad with hunger, had
been pulling up by the roots the ten
der green shoots of new crops and
devouring them, thereby endangering
the future harvest, now they arr
watching the upspringing of the
fuller growths under the providen
tial rains, with hope of averting fur
ther terrors of starvation.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your edi-

the nail on the head.
The nations of the world are so sick
Of war and so heavily burdened with
debt and taxes that not one of them, ex-
cepting. perhaps, the United States.
would be able to engage in any great
war.
The slogan should now be. prepare to
