Macdonald Cheered.
Mr.. Macdonald himself doomed larg-
est in the picture and drew a storm of
cheers from the crowd that thronged
the pier-end at Southampton as the
Cunarder made a somewhat belated de-
parture shortly after am. The early
fog had then lifted enough to permit
her commander to see his way out into
Southampton water
At that the huge vessel with her deep
draught almost lost out with the ebbing
tide and churned mud more than once
while making her way slowly out of the
Solent to deeper waters. Another half
hour and she would have been tied up
in port until afternoon, awaiting the
next tide.
The bright sunshine favored the voy-
ayers and delighted busy group of
photographers, who took picture after
picture of the premier and other mem
bers of his party. They were especially
favored while crossing the Channel
when a special boat drill was organized
for the MacDonalds, who donned life
preservers with the crowd Of others at
the boat stations and submitted with

Idol Of Passengers.
Mr.. Macdonald was the idol of the
passengers before he started. Before
Cherbourg was reached his daughter
had captured similar place for herself
by her simplicity, naturalness and un-
deniable sincerity.
For two hours during the morning
she left the imperial suite and read
correspondence and wrote letters In the
common writing room of the vessel,
where many of her fellow passengers
were gathered. She wore a simple
green Short-sleeved frock with no hat,
her wavy brown hair being parted in
the middle and dressed low in the
neck; her shoes were OF white sports
Cype with gray stockings.
Earlier in the day she had worn a
red leather coat to keep of the chill Of
the fog while patroling the decks and
waving farewells oversize before de-
parture. She went hatless throughout
and her strong. rather serious face was
often lit with a most engaging smile,
which sometimes broke into a generous
laugh.
Americans among the passengers
freely predicted that their countrymen
would take to her. They said that she
scarcely appeared as the daughter Of
the head Of the British government and
shortly to be O distinguished guest at
the White House. They found her per-
lactly unassumsng and natural

The Tariff Bill,

A tariff bill which has been in the
making for four months is to be intro
duced in the House within day or two
The ways and means committee has
held hearings, lasting for months, and
for weeks it has struggled in executive
session to perfect a bill which will meet
the ideas of President Hoover for a
limited revision of the existing law and
at the same time satisfy the farmers,
the manufacturers and the importers
Truly herculean task. Nor is it likely
that all of these groups will be pleased
with the result.
The introduction of the bill will be a
signal for the opening of political bat
tie whose consequences may be far
reaching. There will be riffs among the
Republicans themselves, and the Demo-
Gratis may be expected TO lead an attack
on the measure all their own. However,
it will be a difficult task for the Demo-
cratic leadership to keep the party in
line, either in the House or the Senate,
when it comes to voting on some Of the
schedules. The tremendous increase of
industry in the South and the demand
Of the Southern people for tariff pro-
lection when it comes to their own
products is scarcely less than the de-
mand from New England and Penn
sylvania. In the past Democratic men,
bers Of the Senate and House have con-
tented themselves with voting for tariff
increases-or for the tariff schedules

and close to the pocketbooks Of their
constituents, and when the final vote

The effort Of Mabel Walker Willie
brandt to "denature" the Jones law
as one paper expresses it, has aroused
countrywide attention. Comments on
editorial pages range all the way from
opinions that her action was prompted
by a real desire to see the law succeed
to indignation at the proposed dis
elimination" in relation to offenders
against the prohibition laws.
The paragraph in Mrs. WITHDRAWALS
letter that is most widely quoted edi-
torially is her suggestion to Federal at
torneys that you use wise discretion
as to the character of the cases in
which you seek indictments for viola
tions coming within its purview. Only
good strong cases involving commercial
ism should be made the basis for these
initial tests
Referring to this statement and to
the Jones law itself. the Columbus.
Ohio Dispatch says: AS with criminal
laws generally. its maximum penalties
are not intended for use against the
minor offenders. For big game, high
caliber weapon is needed. One does
not hunt squirrels with an elephant
gun. nor should one hunt elephants
with a squirrel gun. The Jones law is
endorsements big gun and deserves
big target"
While the Cleveland News thinks
that IAN injunction to use discretion.
moderation or restraint of any sort
necessarily sounds rather funny, COM
ing from Mabel Walker Willebrandt," it
finds satisfaction in the belief that the
country has had like assurances from
more responsible quarters that the IA
natical law is not to be used promiscu-
ously" The PeterSburgh Progress
Tn hplioun
brandt has employed the word dis
cretion' and certainly she has not ex-
emplified it since she assumed public
Office"
The Charleston Evening Post. which
admits of Mrs. Withdrawals plea to
district attorneys to use discretion in
applying the Jones act" adds that lit
would have been even better If Congress
had used discretion when voting on it."
'It is we'll for the prosecutors to be
discreet. as requested" says the Apple
ton Post Crescent, for if they apply so
severe a law to petty cases, not involv-
ing public menace or moral turpitude,
jurieS will not convict and the law will
become a dead letter" Looking at the
matter, likewise, from the standpoint Of
the jury. the New York Evening World
says that in the end unreasonable laws
do not make favorable impression on
juries. Where violations of laws must
be passed on by juries. the laws are in
a bad way when they impress the public
as unjust" Continuing, the World
says. 1T begins to seem that the Jones
law marks the extreme limit of intoler-
ance," and 1t suggests that Mrs. Willie
brandt is seeking to Side-step its literal
enforcement"
The Syracuse Herald believes that
since the passage of the act Mrs.
Willebrandt has learned a thing or
two notably that Jury acquittals of
offenders against the Volstead act, from
night club 'hostesses' down
to ordinary bootlegs. have become an

Annual ''Parents' Day.
Observance Is Urged

To the Editor of The Star:
That Mothers day, observed each year
on the second Sunday of May, should
be changed to Parents day" is sug-
gested in an editorial in the current
issue of Children, the parents magazine.
The fathers contribution to family
life has too often been considered mere
ly financial one. But with a better
understanding of the Importance of
family relationships has come the real
ization that the father also exertS
strong influence on the lives of his
children. Parents day. would foster
in children a proper recognition and
appreciation of the unSelfish devotion
and Self-Sacrifice of both mother and
father and their Joint share in home
making and child training.
But even more important. Parents
day" would serve to emphasize the
responsibilities of parenthood.
1t is being increasingly realized that
parents cannot rely upon instinct and
love alone in bringing up their children.
Child rearing has become a science.
Doctors in their practice. psychologists
in their laboratories, psychologists in
their probings, are all discovering things
vitality important for parents to know
and to practice. A number of our great
universities have recently established
institutes of child development research.
The important findings of these insti-
buttons should have the widest dissent
nation among parents everywhere.
Parents day" would serve not only as
an occasion on which children would
express filial love and respect, but also
to emphasize the need for parental
education.
1 have no quarrel with the fine senti-
ment that has created Mothers day.
but I feel that the significance of the
day will be UNNECESSARILY greater II
Mothers day becomes Parents day
its dual purpose, the honoring of their
parents on the part of children and
the dedication of fathers and mothers
to the great ideal of creating through
out the country an enlightened parent
hood.
DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, in a letter to
me, SAYS: Il indorse this position which
you take in reference to changing the
name of Mothers day to Parents
day 1 think the matter carries It's
credentials on It's face, because the title
is more inclusive and more just in every
respect" GEORGE j. HECtI,

in opposition. 1t may be the same tac-
tics will be followed again with this bill
Many of the Democrats, however
during the last presidential campaign
sought to impress the country with the
idea that business interests had nothing
to fear from Democratic tinkering with
the tariff. the Democrats doubtless are
thinking of the future. There is nc
doubt in the minds of many observers
| that the fear of Democratic reduction
of the tariff affected in no small degree
the outcome of the election in many of
the industrial States-particularly in
New York, the home State of Al Smith
the Democratic nominee for President.
The last tariff bill to be put through
| Congress was the Fordney McCumber
act-the present law. 1t followed imme-
diately upon the opening of the Hard
ing administration. 1t brought bitter
ness in its trail, as other tariff bills
have done, and to it may be attributed,
in part the slump of the Republicans
in the 1922 election. The Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, which was the last tariff law
put through by the Republicans before
the Fordney-M cCumber, was responsible
in no small measure for the split in the
Republican party in 1912, which placed
Woodrow Wilson in the White House.
The Democrats tackled the issue in
1918, and the Underwood-Simm law
was written. The World War, beginning
in 1914, saved the Democrats from the
results of criticism of that act, making
this country great market for the rest
Of the world and placing industry and
agriculture in a position to reap great
profits.
President Hoover has taken a firm
stand against a great upward revision
of the present tariff. He believes that
only those rates should be increased
where conditions have arisen to curtail
employment and production in this
country. But this does not please many
of the manufacturers, and tremendous
pressure already is being eXerted on the
legislators. The farmers must be taken
care of, in view of the promises of the
campaign, and rates on their products
are to be increased materially. But
even in the case of the agricultural
schedule disappointment may follow in
its wake.
The situation is filled with political
dynamite. However, the administration
may take comfort from the fact that If
the prosperity of the country continues
under the new tariff act it will doubt
less be approved at the polls in 1882.
The congressional elections in 1880,
however, will provide the first test.
Members of the House and Senate are
anxious to have the tariff bill out of the
way as early as possible on account of
this struggle next year.

1t was erected by Gen. Benjamin F
Butler some SO years ago, when he was
member of Congress. The story Is
that the Navy Department had a YES
sci at the Boston yard which it pur-
posed bringing to the Washington Navy
Yard and desired stone ballast. Butler,
who never overlooked an opportunity
to turn a profitable deal. offered stone
from the Cape Ann quarries, which he
owned, on condition that the vessels
ballast be discharged at the foot OF
New Jersey avenue. This was done and
he had the stone hauled to his lot across
from the Capitol and erected the IA
nous house. Butler never lived in the
building, but put up a smaller brick
structure nearby on Delaware avenue,
where he had his Office and lived. He
died there. The Butler house was
rented by John P. Jones, millionaire
mining Senator from Nevada. Chester
A. Arthur, Widower, lived there with
Senator Jones while he was Vice Presi-
dent. 1t was in this house that Arthur
