The British motor industry has

ing oncoming prosperity. Many ex.
pected that the new protection would
mean an irnmediafs decrease in the
price OF British cars. and an imme-
date increase in the price Of for
eign cars.
June 80 came and nothing hap
pened July l came and British
sub iects opened their morning pa
pers expectants of huge advertise
ments announcing price reductions
in British cars. They are disap-
pointed. No price reductions were
announced.
Then the foreign manufacturers
played their hand. On July 2. to
the establishment Ct the British mo-
tor industry. the newspapers an
nounced reductions in prices of
foreign cars.
One Of the best-known French
cars was announced at q price
greatly reduced.
:. An. American firm announced a
reduction in price equal to half
the duty laid down by the Churchill
budget.
In short. the foreign nanufac-
turers opened a selling campaign
in defiance of the S31- per cent
tariff.
British manufacturers cried aloud
that foreign firms had been dump
ing heavily prior to July /, and
demanded government, action, when
it seemed that government action
was too late to save the situation.
The foreign manufacturers are
carrying on a whirlwind campaign,
selling the cars which they have
and letting the future rest with

British manufacturers are sitting
tight, waiting for something to hap
pen to bring them prosperity and
proclaiming: Buy British and Be
Pround OF It." Meanwhile foreign
cars increase in numbers on the
road and free-trade politicians are
laughing up their sleeves and won

HINDENBURG'S POWERS

1t is well to remember, in regard to President
Elect Hindenburg, that his legal powers will not be
by any equivalent to those President of the
United States.
The big field marshal will be President of Ger
many for years. lives that long avoids
revolution, and he will be eligible reelection.
That is bad, from the American viewpoint. But the
Presidency under the German Constitution is like
the French Presidency than the American.
The President of France has little real power He
is republican imitation of royalty. He Is figure
head who Is visible symbol or the state and ink
between changing administrations or governments.
He the function constitutional kings, of
whom the King of England is the best example. He
Premier, who is confirmed by Parliament and
then the Premier and his Cabinet the government
until Parliament election GUSTS them
In Germany the active direction of the govern
ment devolves upon the "Chancellor" it does in
France and England upon the Premier. The Presi-
dent is legally pale substitute for the Kaiser. He
has power to veto legislation He is subject dis
missal by referendum election ordered by the Riech
stag. Technically, Hindenburg will be above parties
and apart from them.
The only question is what he may be actually
whether he will ignore the Constitution and its i'm
plications and his prestige to defy the Rechstag
and make himself Dictator There is less expectation
of that than there at the first of his
election.

FACILITIES FOR COURTING

A minister complains that the modern home, espe
cally the city flat makes provision for courting.
1t has no where its young people may entertain
other young people This he says is of the prn-
cpal reasons for the apparent waywardness of pres
ent-day youth. .. >-s......-.s... ......
In this he is doubtless right But it doesn't seem
likely that the remedy he proposes will do much good
He wants to open courting parlors in the churches,
providing program of games and entertainment
der proper chaperonage"
There was time when large part of the court
ing done not exactly in church, but in connection
with church-going That time is past. If boys and
parors, they want to no longer. They feel able to
furnish their games and entertainment and have
no for the proper chaperonage."
They will continue to do their courting in the
modern wayS-in automobile drives and at movie
shows. Also in a way both old and new-at dances.
That is unless parents wise enough and liberal
enough to provide homes with room for the young
people to entertain their friends there in their
way, in the good old times. That would solve at
least half the problem.

THE RURAL SACRIFICE

Our rural population in America has shrunk
fifth in quarter of century, compared with the
people living farms in villages of less than 25OOO
people. Now, the census bureau reports, there are
only AZ per cent
The rural sections do not lose to the cities "abso-
utely but relatively" They fail to keep their share
of people. They produce population, one might say,
almost as they produce food, and send it to the indus
trial centers.
In distinctly farming areas 100 wives have 195
children, to only 157 for the number of wives in
villages and 128 children in towns and cities The farm
women along with all their other duties supply sons
and daughters to make up the deficit of their city
sisters.
This contribution, than any other, is what
keeps the city growing and fourishing and reards the
farm. And then city folk, prosperng only because of
the new blood furnished them regularly by the coun-
try at such cost, still affect to the country!
With immigration lessened, they must depend more
and more their own 'hinterland"
The city has never yet'half appreciated what the
country has done for it.

FUL SPECTACLE

East st. Louis. ILL.,, April 16.--lf
congress were in session it would be
possible to aequaint the nation with
methods employed by Federal Judge
English, now being probed BY a con-
greSsional committee.
During the shopmen's strike, this
Judge was an injunction wild man. He
was in the front rank of law and or
der defenders. Daily the newspapers
printed long accounts of his table
humping denuneiations Of working
men who dared TO strike,
Now, English whimpers before his
probers that he did not know his son
received interest on money belonging
to bankrupt persons. This money was
deposited, on the order of English, in
a bank in which his sou was employed.
This champion OF law and order was
forced TO admit he was a director Of
a bank in which he ordered funds Of
bankrupts deposited.
He was shown TO be intimate with
a referee in bankruptcy, whose fees
swallowed the assets of bankluptS,
leaving nothing TO creditors.
With his mumbling and pleading OF
ignorance of the law, English presents
a different picture from the days
when he would terrorize workets.
