and after drifting go feet came
upon the ore. He predicts that it
will develop into a very large
body of high-grade milling ore.
The ore in the shaft is peacock

COOLIDGE REGIME
RAPED BY HULL

Washington, d. c., May T.
Existing conditions of widespread
unemployment and the serious
agricultural depression are in
large part due to the short-sighted
tariff and trade problems Of the
Coolidge Republican administra-
ton, declared Representative Cor
dell Hull, of Tennessee, member
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, in a statement issued
today. Judge Hull, one Of the
country's foremost authorities on
tariff and economic questions, is
sued his statement co-incident,
with the introduction in the House
of a bill repeating the tariff on
automobiles. Sales abroad of
American automobiles are being
seriously curtailed by tariffs i'm
posed by foreign governments in
retaliation for the American tar
iff on automobiles. "Every sane
person., said Representative Hull,
recognizes that the United States
is producing more than it can alb
sorb; that this condition is true
as to the agricultural, automobile,
coal, textile, iron and steel and
many other great industries Of
this country. One inevitable re-
suit of such over-production and
the serious obstruction of the ex-
port of our surpluses by retalia-
tory foreign tariffs is vast unenn-
ployment during the last twelve
months to the extent of three or
four millions of persons, and idle
ness of corresponding amounts of
capital.
notwithstanding the automo-
bile industry in the United States
has for many years been supreme
| in virtually every part Of the
world, the Fordney Act prescribed
a tariff Of 25 per cent on auto
biles and 10 per cent on tires.
During 1927 we exported 100000
passenger cars, valued at $207,-
! $4,000, and imported 635 auto
mobiles and chassis valued at ST.
$4,000. It must be clear to all
persons now that the normal pro-
/ gress of this great industry, even
during the immediate future, de-
pends upon the speedy develop
4 ment of wider foreign markets.
, The chief obstruction to unlimited
! foreign markets is our existing
high tariffs and their severely
restrictive and retaliatory provi-
sions. The logic Of economic con-
ditions each month is compelling
more and more attention to the
utmost Importance of early re-
examination Of our tariff and
trade policies"

Editorial Comment
Tunney on Shakespeare
Grand Forks Heraldl


Eugene Tunney lectured on Shakespeare the
other day to the students at Yale. Perhaps
that statement is little unfair to the champion
pugilist. He did not actually lecture, and he
did not pose as an authority on Shakespeare.
Instead he chatted easily and naturally for
half an hour, as one human being to five hun
dred others, telling Of how he came to have q
liking for Shakespeare, and Of the manner in
which some of the things which he found in
the plays impressed him. The students doubt
less did not attend for the purpose of enlarg-
ing their stock of information on Shakespeare,
but rather to learn more about Tunney. They
did learn something about Tunney, for in a
natural conversation a man necessarily reveals
himself incidentally, some of them may have
learned things about Shakespeare which had
not occurred to them before
DR.. Johnson remarked that the important
thing about woman preaching or dog dane
ing was not that it was well done, but that i.
could be done at all. The learned doctor. if he
were here now, might include in the classifca-
ton a talk on Shakespeare by professional
pugilst. We have not been accustomed to ex-
hbtions of that kind, and they seem incongru-
GUS. Yet Mr.. Tunney's brief appearance at
Yale may have served the double purpose of
demonstrating that physical prowess need not
preclude a reasonable amount of brain develop
ment and that there are things in Shakespeare
that may have their appeal for a regular fell
low if the regular fellow tries to get at them
in a sensible way.

1t is an emotion that wells up in a rather in
articulate fashion 1t cannot be expressed in
words save by a poet; most of us are unable To
say what it means to us. We see flag float
ing high in the sunlight. and we zee the CLEAN
Of bayonets as the soldiers pass by, and we
cannot tell what it is We feel; we only know
that we are caught up. for the moment by
something bigger and stronger than ourselves
that We lose ourselves in tide that sweeps
us off our feet and makes the flag the mos.
beautiful emblem on earth
And then, as we struggle for expression. the
band breaks out with the inimitably inspiring,
heart-warming bars Of Sousa's great march,
and the music gives us our expression. The
blaring trumpets say the things We are not
able TO say.
That is why the anniversary of Sousas COM
position is worth noting. Congress might do
something about it; or, if it can't, the War and
Navy Departments at least ought to- The
American fighting man has no stouter ally
than this likable, aging bandmaster.
