CHRISTMAS GIFTS
HARD HIT BY TARIFF
Ruling Duty Must Be Paid on

From 100000 in US.

BY Cable TO Inc Sthr'
PARIS, November IA recent United
States Treasury ruling has set some
hundred thousand American residents
and travellers in Europe wondering al
ready about their Christmas shop
ping.
announced through the consulates
that the dread tariff will apply hence
forth to every article of foreign mer-
chandise sent through the mails.
In previous years, there has been
considerable liberation on the part OF
customs authorities as the Christmas
season approached. Small articles for
warded by first class mail went
through unquestioned. But now 1t is
announced that every envelope con-
taining technically dutiable goods
must be accompanied by, a formal
customs declaration, which means
that the receiver will have to pay
Uncle Sam tribute on every present
from abroad.
AS it is seen here, this ruling Will
do more to take the joy out OF CHRIST
mas than 1t will to enrich the United
States Treasury. Few persons are
likely to send gifts on which the re-
ceiver must pay from 10 to oo per
cent of the value.

Treasury Department maintains Its
position, is tnat apouI oVV'VVV <aiieL,

the protective tariff principle, point
out, nevertheless, that tolerance for
Christmas gifts would not hurt

america DID WELL
PROHIBITING LIQUOR"
Hugh Walpole
Hugh Walpole

Hugh Walpole, one OF the many
British authors invading America as
lecturers, gave the Denver Post of
recent date an interview in which he
expressed his opinion of prohibition
in America as he has observed it. Mr..
Walpole said
81 believe America did we'll by the
adoption of prohibition. Until this
year | would have said that prohibit
ton could never come to Great Brit
ain and | was a strong anti. But dur
ing my tour of the United States, al
ter talking with people of many
classes, have changed my view. In
America all classes except our class
seem to be satisfied with prohibition
and to accept it. Unfortunately our
class, and by our class | mean people
who are supposed to set an example
and obey the law, is doing neither and
thus is bringing the law into disre-
pute.
"The danger of violation of the pro-
hibiton law lies in the ease with which
the breaking of one law leads to the
breaking of other laws, and finally to
a general disrcspect for all law, and
from thence to disregard of all goy-
eminent"

KENYON DISAV0WS DRINK
William F. Peirce, President OF
Kenyon College, Gambler, o.

The newspapers have published
very sensational account OF the sopho-
more hop at Kenyon College. May l
present through your columns the ac-
tual facts i'll the case?
On the night of May IL, during the
course OF large ball at which four
or FIVE hundred persons were present,
four dry enforcement officers, after
quietly conducted search of several
hours, arrested seven men, and brought
them before the mayors court Three
OF these men were strangers, who had
never been III any way connected with
Kenyon. OF the four Kenyon stu
dents involved, two had manifestly
been drinking; third had been found
with liquor in his possession; while
the fourth paid no fine, as it could
not be established that he had either
been drinking or had liquor in his pos
session. | was myself present in the
court room, and know these to be the
facts.
As to the attitude of the college au-
thorities, which has been greatly mis-
represented, let me say that, in the
first place, the rules OF Kenyon Col
lege, which forbid the use and the
keeping of intoxicants either in the
buildings or on the grounds OF the
college, long antedate national prohi-
bition, and that, in the second place,
far from protesting against the action
OF government officers, we welcome
any aid in enforcing law and order
among our students.
The college faculty has already ex-
PEELED the two students who we're
found to have been drinking and has
dismissed the man who was found
with liquor in his possession, Against
the fourth man, as no misconduct was
established, no action was taken.

FAMOUS NY. RESTAURANT
CLOSES ITS PORTALS
Century-old "Delmonico's," New
York City's Exclusive Cater
er, Takes the Count
NOTABLES AMONG GUESTS
Old Hosiery Catches Step With
Modern Prohibition
Prog ress

Delmonioo's, for nearly century
the scene of New York's exclusive
restaurant lie and known the world
round, closed its doors on the night
OF May p.
No demonstration accompanied the
closing of this famous cafe. Prohibi-
ton is given as one of the causes for
the closing OF Delmonico's.
One of its chief claims TO fame was
based on the lavishness of its choicest
wines, its imported cordials its fancy
mixed drinks. 1t had been the
rendezvous for the four hundred of
New York and the entertaining place
for many distinguished visitors.
Prohibition has not interferrcd with
the business but on the other hand
has boosted trade for restaurants and
cafes that are operating for the primary
purpose OF serving meals. Any place
whose speciality is booze OF course suf-
fers from the prohibition law.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
URGES ABSTINENCE PLEDGE
Bryan Wins His Point and Every
Minister, Church Member
Teacher, Student Pledged
SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Assembly Also Asks Smith to
: Veto N. Y. Dry Law Repeater
Demands Dry Smile Zone

The General Assembly of the Pres
byterian church, representing that
great denomination throughout the
United States, at its meeting in
Indianapolis last week adopted the
proposal of William Jennings Bryan
that every Presbyterian minister,
church official, church member and the
faculty and students of the denomi-
national schools, sign a total abstinence
pledge.
There are those who think such
proposition foolish, but it would be
good thing for the dry cause if other
denominations would follow the lead
of the Presbyterians.
o1Were all the denominations to do
this, the moral effect on the country
would be such as to stimulate interest
in dry enforcement, and above all,
would nightly aid in teaching the
much needed lesson of obedience to
law.
An effort was made to alter the
Bryan resolution and exempt ministers,
church officials, college presidents,
professors and teachers from signing
the pledge. A few ministers objected
to being asked to sign a pledge not to
do something they do not now do.
Mr.. Bryan met this objection by tell
ing these ministers they need to take
the pledge as an example for their
congregation. Mr. Bryan won.
There was proposal to amend the
Bryan resolution by extending it to
cover not only Presbyterian schools,
colleges, universities, and theological
scminarics, but to include all American
institutions of those classes. This
was objected to by Mr. Bryan and
others, on the ground that it would be
an improper effort to influence non
UNCONVENTIONAL institutions, and the
original phraseology was restored
with the addition OF clause urging
other bodies to follow the Presby-
terian's example. il8i l., i4lli
1.-The temperance comrlittceis RECON-
fiiehdationsJ aside from the Bryan
resolution, included telegram deplor-
ing the repeal of the New York state
prohibition law, and urging Governor
: Smith not to sign the bill,
Action was also taken urging the
president and Congress TO use all the
power of the federal government to
prevent the use of foreign flags for
the protection of rum laden vessels
that anchor beyond the ithree-mile
limit, and openly conspirc with
smugglers to violate the Eighteenth
Amendment and the laws enacted for
its enforcement.
1t will be good thing for the coun-
try at this time, it was argued at the
Indianapolis gathering, to promote
general signing of the total abstinence
pledge. To say it is not needed, now
that prohibition is here, and that it is
foolish for well-known supporters of
the dry cause to sign the pledge, is as
untcnable as to argue there is no need
to reiterate allegiance to the govern
ment because it is here.
The Presbyterian church has taken
a step which will appeal to the good
sense of all citizens the more they
think OF it.
