Election Psychology.
(Cincinnati Enouirer.)

It has long been true in the United States and elsewhere, for that matter-that popular cleo tions are less an opportunity for voters to choose between important issues than a chance to censuro political leaders for allowing unsatisfactory econ- omic conditions to exist Political figures may or may not be responsible for such conditions, usually are not But they the most convenient per- sons on which to place the blame.
 This autumn, as in other instances, this feeling will doubtless predominae. That is, however, ten dency to place blame not much political lead CTS simply because they have occupied places of responsibility, but on those who have been lavish with public funds at time when the public is finding it none too easy to meet tax bills.
 In this respect the voters psychology appears to be sound. Rashness in governmental expendi- ture is an error that cannot be forgiven legislator however much he needs the extra votes which gen. erous appropriations might win for him. If there is to be spirit of revenge in the August primaries and the November elections-and there always is something of that spirit-it had best be directed at the men who have placed their political futures ahead of the urgent need for public economy.

Tuberculosis.
Manchester Guardian.)

In England and Wales every week seven hundred people die of tuberculosis. This figure, which by itself is terrible, becomes hopeful when it is seen as stage in the history of the disease. This was shown clearly by MT. Arthur Greenwood and Sir George Newman in their addresses to the annual conference of the National Association for the Pre- vention of Tuberculosis In 1847 the death h-rate from pulmonary tuberculosis 3189 per million of the population; by 1928 the rate had dropped to 7O9 In the non-pumonary forms of the disease the death-rate since 1917 has been halved The enemy. said MT. Greenwood, is the run. This great advance must be attributed chiefly to the preventive effects of the improvement in the general standard of life-better food and clothing more sanitary housing cleaner and better ventilated work shops But it is also the result of the frontal at tack by medical treatment in sanatoria and village settlements, and the speeches at the National As sociations conference pointed hopefully to the ex- tended powers given to the local authorities by the new Local Government Act

Not Really Serious.
(New York Times.)

When his audience laughed at Senator Cope lands prediction that good times in 1892 will be followed by the reelection of President Hoover the Soothsayer exclaimed: That's serious" It might be from another Democratic Senator. But this one has engaging habit of not being bound one week or year by what he has said the previous

FISHING PROFITS ARE MODERATE.

Some stir created by the report the othe day that trolling boats in waters in this vicinit had made as high as $500 day. Fishermen yer naturally feared that boat owners in other water would assume that this high mark common occurrence, and that they would crowd into thi section and over-do the fishing to the injury O the fishermen that are here and themselves.
 The interview of Wallis s. George, Presiden of the Juneau Cold Storage Company, that appeared in The Empire yesterday is rational and tru statement of the condition. We repeat MT. George statement:
 There numerous boats-both trollers and buyers-and their average gain is mod crate. On a occasion, of course, a single trolling boat possibly two or three trolling boats might meet with large school of fish, and the take might gross to boat was reported recently, $500 in one day But such luck occurs very, very sell dom There many days when there is take at all when it is so small as to be insufficient to pay expenses. High peaks of good fortune are invariably levelled by low dips of bad.
 Waters in this neighborhood have been yielding fair catches but at all times there have been enough boats, and scarcely any have earned exceptional profits

Today we are showing two
photographs of costumes we
saw last week at the Amos
Parrish Fashion Clinic, which
was held at the Ritz Carlton
Hotel in New York.
The suit is typical Of the
formal daytime ensembles that
will be worn this fall, but prooa-
bly, in a limited number, as Mr..
Parrish thinks that most women
will buy coats and dresses to go
with them rather than buy an
assembled suit. in spite Of the
fact that the new suits are ex-
tremely smart. This suit is Of
black broadcloth, with an UP.
standing collar of blue fox and a
blouse Of white satin. Impor-
tant features are the three
quarters-length coat with seam
ing to fit it about the hips and
waiStlines, and the fact that it
buttons so that it will not have
to be held shut. The collar is a
shorter length which is very
smart. The blouse is a lovely
soft dressmaker type, fitted at
the -waistline. Notice that the
skirt is to the middle of the calf,
which is correct for fall daytime
wear.
The afternoon or daytime
dress shown is Of blue canton
faille, trimmed with off-white
crepe roma. It's important be-
cause of its bell-shaped skirt
with beautiful scanning that
fits it about the hips and waist
line. A new point is the use Of
contrasting color in such large
amounts as half sleeves and
vestees. These sections are
