Theory and Effective Power.
(Cincinnati Enouirer.)


 When the outstanding economists of the United States with one accord condemn piece of pend- ing legislation in unqualified terms is quite safe with the bill in question In fact, many of the drafting and redraftng of the Hawley-Smoot tariff in political system such as we have worked out in this country, soundly reasoned objections are of little avail against the intrenched power of economic pressure groups imposing their will on the Legislature.
 The tariff bill about to go to the President for his signature is nothing more than patch work of provisions adjusted to please the sundry groups which have been able to muster sufficient friends in the Congress There has been abid- ing regard for the welfare of the American people, nor even for American industry whole in the preparation of this bill. Perhaps it really merits the veto of the President, but it is asking great deal of the Chief Executive to seek his disapproval of the which has involved nearly year of legislative effort in the making.
 The Presidents task is necessarily of com promise He must concern himself not only with what he believes to be the public interest but also with the wishes of predominant groups whose ef- fective power is than all the rest of the public combined He must play the game in some thing of the spirit in which it is played in Con- gress and in the Hobbies of Congress It is idle for him to seek the ideal, either in legislation or administration We hardly look for his veto therefore, despite the overwhelming opinc n through the country that the tariff bill is malicious Still it is Mir Hoovers chance to go down in his tory as a courageous public leader if he chooses to negate the sordid work of year of legislation.

 But in China the itching palm" is con- spicuous Remember this and you can understand much about the wars in this "squeezer- -greaser" land. China is getting worse and worse Property-rights are gone. Life is unsafe. Business is paralyzed. Free dom of the press and speech has vanished. Loyalty and obedience are not. Liberty is dead. Bandits abound. But Ranking makes believe all is "as fine as pie" and issues pious reports. Among officials there are doubtless sincere ones who would put things right but the make-believes predominate and block every move for good But don't judge harshly. Most officials are sons of the laboring class and of the newly-rich. They are young and inexperienced They pay great attention to trivial things and neglect great things. If in our Washington it's said, He that is without gin among you let him first cast a stone" can we condemn heather China? We hope that some day China strip lings will tire of playing house" and will get down to horse sense.
 But I'm getting away from the New Year Gambling is everywhere Superstition is rife. Money is wasted that might relieve famine suffering. Every temple is crowded with people offering incense, candles, paper money and prayers to all the gods. They pray most for wealth. That prayer Is not make-believe. They want wealth, and they worship the god-ofwealth with all their hearts. Every home has one made of wood mud, or of paper but he is "Dzai-zen" all the same. When business gets poor in China oF hoe tO America. The paper Dzai-zen is interesting The gods throne is big ingot of gold set with jewels. Mountains of gold are at the gods left and Silver Hill is at his right. In front of him is a great bowl of jewels. On Silver Hill is the money tree a shake of which will shower you untold wealth.

FOOD IS MOST IMPORTANT.

Man can exist without reading and live without clothing but if he has no food, he must perish. As he grows civilized he may eat less in quan- tty but what he does eat costs him progressively more and more This is emphasized by a study made by the General Foods Corporation, the re- suits of which were recently made public On the basis of annual income varously estimated to be between $780o0000000 and $89 100000 000, one fourth of all the money spent by the American people is used to purchase food products said that company. Most research workers agree that the value of food bought reaches $21 1,O00,00o000 plus s3,00000 100000 in products consumed on the premises" including food raised and eaten on farms and not cleared through any market.
 Other interesting facts revealed by the study was that: The retail value of all textiles in the United States s12,0O0000,000. Automotive ex- pense including cars, trucks tires and accessories approxmates between $5,OOO0O0OOO and $60000OO- 900 a retail basis Adding gasoline, oil and maintenance, however, the automotive expense is about par with textiles. Building construction range between $7oOO 10000 and $8oo0 GOO. Railroads receive between $6oOOOOO 10000 and $7ooO, 100000 in operating income. The iron and steel business not including machinery, is recorded at around s6,ooOOoooo
 The food industry, probably the oldest of all industries well as the largest, is today growing faster than population, due to the demands of the public for better and varied foods.

BISHOP CANNON FLIRTS WITH
 DANGER.

Senator Walsh, of the ablest if not the ablest lawyer in the United States Senate declares that Bishop Cannon is guilty of contempt because he stepped down from the witness chair and left the Senate Investigating committees chamber without leave after making a statement to his own liking and refusing to be examined. The little Bishop may succeed in breaking into jail yet through his inordnate conceit and sublime conviction that he is a law unto himself He may manipulate politics. handle campaign funds without making report of expenditures rendering an accounting gamble on the stock exchange keep the conscience of a people at his sweet will, all in the name Of great church and with pompous and self-satisfied men that in others would be regarded as wholly out of place.
 However, we suspect that Bishop Cannon cannot Haunt his strutting defiance in the face of Senator Walsh and get away with it. He is flrt- ing with danger when he attempts it. Great as he is, he has limitations

But lads who were 15 in 1861 84 this year, and that is rather old to march in par ades and make long, hot journeys Nevertheless, accommodations have been prepared for 5000 and a full attendance is expected, partly because there is much talk that this reunion will be the last, partly because it is being held at Gulfport, Miss

A WORD PICTURE FROM CHINA.

China, Land of Make-Believe," and scene o bitter internecine strife is srikngly depicted in letter just received by The Empire from Rev H G. c. Hallock, of Shanghai China that de- fies law forbdding thousand-y old custom with the abandon that many Americans ig. the national edict against drinking
 Rev. Hallock's letter, which follows, is vel worth reading because it does throw some light on conditions of the present day in the Land o the Dragon.
 Here comes a letter from this land of "make-b believe" This is Chinese New Year, tJan 30l but the Government would make believe it is abolished and forbids it's cele- bration.

 But this is not the only make believe. Ranking makes-believe China is unified It "aint' China is split into smithereens. Chang Fa-kwei in Kwangs is fighting Nan king. Yet S5i-shan has Shansi and Chihli and rules well Chang Hsueh- Hang lords 1t over Manchuria Tang Seng-chi keeps a hornets nest buzzing in Honan Yong Yoh- dziang sways Shens Szechuen goes it's way and other rebels keep the Capitol on pins and needles" Yet Nankng has peatedy reported each of these discordant ones overcome or won over. But it is only make-believe to hood-wnk the world

If you're planning to wear q

The newest Homburg has a

School Girls
Plan Autumn
WardrObeS
by WILMA LA VILE

Now is the time for girls
going off to school to assemble
q wardrobe. Many Of them
already have done so and, from
the clothes they are buying We
can get q clear idea of what
will be popular at Eastern col
leseS this fall.
The rtEnhle-seat coat is still
o favorite, but we find that
most girls are rather particular
about the softness and quality
Of these coats. We've found
one which we are Sketching
today which Is unusually silky
and smooth. It's Of pure al
paca wool and is beautifully
tailored along the classic sports
lines that you are familiar
with. Another interesting fea-
ture is that it is in the same
color as lapin. that new sheared
rabbit fur. so that at q dis
tance it looks like fur coat.
With this coat we are sketch
ing q jersey jumper dress which
is another favorite. It's in
brown or green and has Q clev.
er striped silk blouse. OF
course. you can vary 1t indefi-
nitelly' by wearing other
blouseS. It's the sort of thing
that you can depend on day
after day for classroom wear.
With it comes q matching beret
so that it makes q complete
early fall costume. Later, If
you wish. you can wear it under
your sports coat.
OF course college girls are still
wearing racoon coats and they
also usually have a dress coat.
IF you need two coats this win.
ter. q rumble seat coat is prob
ably a wise choice for your
sports coat. as it's not as expen-
sive as a fur coat. There are
also some good rough tweeds
that serve for general campus
