Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, A TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1928 _TEES REAL VALUES We do know there are so many things that are intrinsically far more valuable than just money, To be able to keep a lovely spirit that helps you smile at annoyances and petty troubles that assail you is wealth in itself, 'A genial, jolly person can smooth the rough- est temper of the richest man, provided the man is a man and not a mistake, All honour to those in every walk of life who speak truthfully and earnestly in defense of right, inspired by the hope of rewards other than money or popular favor, These are the men and women who build the world. They la- boyr in their ordinary vocations with no less zeal because they give time and attention to higher things.--Margaret Olive Jordan. THE FORDNEY TARIFF The Battle of Waterloo was fought out in the open on a general principle policy--- the policy of mass formation, comments the Vancouver Sun editorially, speaking of the injustice of the Fordney tariff, which, not- withstanding = Canada's $800,000,000 worth of annual purchases from the United States, allows the President immediately to bar out by tariff any Canadian article which hap- pens to compete with American goods, Can- ada is teying to fight out her tariff problems with the old mass formation front, says this writer, while the United States is adopting in tariff the methods of modern trench warfare, Canada has been making a bold friendly front on reciprocal trade, while the United States has been "mining" and 'sapping" at Canadian trade until she is actually under- mining the country's national economic ex- istence. Canadian business men should not blame American business men if they find Cana- dians sitting down acquiescing in this and that foolish and unfair tariff against Can. ada, and themselves making further tariff reductions, to which we called a halt only 'last year. With the present trading cards all stacked against us, stopping tariff reduction against the United States is not emough. Canada's acquiescence in America's tariff war has made the United States bolder in her declarations, bolder in her actions and exactions, until to-day there seems to be no limit to the extent the United States is will- ing to transgress against Canadian trade and feeling. Instead of yielding further, the ground we have already lost must be recov- ered; the trade concessions Canada has granted in the past must be balanced or can- celled. Canada will now have to do what she should have done ten years ago--what sue- cessive governments have left undone. Canada has got to tell the United States, in the friendliest but frankest and firmest way, that the present tariff war against Can- ada must stop; that present trading ar- rangements must be immediately put on an equal basis; or, failing that, Canada will be compelled to take means and measures to protect the pockets and feelings of her ten million people. Canada has long tried to be an honest, friendly business neighbor of the United States, but that attitude is now being used against us, Canada cannot be coward- ly. EDITORIAL NOTES Some people have a perfect genius for doing nothing, and doing it assiduously. --Thomas C. Haliburton, The ladder of life is full of splinters, but they always prick the hardest when we're sliding: down.--William L. Brownell, Economizing for the purpose of being in- dependent is one of the soundest indications of manly character.--Samuel Smiles. Bit of Verse FOREVER AND A DAY I little know or care If the blackbird on the bough 1s filling all the air With his soft crescendo now; For she is gone away, And when she went she took The springtime in her look. The peachblow on her cheek, The laughter from the brook, The blue from out of May-- And what she calls a week Is forever and a day! It's little that I mind How the blossoms, pink or white, At every touch of wind Fall a-trembling with delight; For in the leafy lane, Beneath the garden-boughs, And through the silent house One thing alone I seek. Until she come again. The May is not the May And what she calls a week Is forever and a day! --Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the trouble It rained very with us was couldn't keep track of each other, systematically. took an umbrella, hut us got rained The Owen Sound Sun Times strikes the bell when it ys "The Germans reached Paris at last, but only to sign a Peace Pact with a that us Us Employer (a Scot)--"I'd like to have one of those free masons I've heard so much about."

DOUBTFUL (London Tit-Bits) 'e the women's golf cham- plonship was played, a certain course was for some days infested by prac ladies. This gave much disgust to an old gentleman who went out daily to have his hundred up. : One morning, discovering that places were booked for two hours ahead by women players, he observ- ed loudly and for the benefit of a crowd of the other sex: "Simply dis- gusting. 1 shall join a club for gen- tlemen only." e A bright young thing standing near gave him a smile and observed, "What makes you think you'd be eli- gible?" FILMDOM NERVOUS (From the New York Evening World) Now that the talking film is as- sured, it is not surprising that there is trepidation among the "stars" at Hollywood. Hitherto the movies called for a certain type of beauty in women which is easily screened and a certain grace of manner, and little else. The directors have been able to make "stars of not a few pretty women and handsome men who are without the culture of edu- cation necessary for the speaking stage. Now with the talking film all this is changed, or will be. An "artist" with a slovenly pronunciation, with- out the intelligence for a sound in- terpretation of a character, and without a retentive memory will be placed at a hopeless disadvantage The prospect is that the revolution promised in the moving picture world will relegate a few favorites among others, not so pretty perhaps, the "stars" and give opportunities to [ has at least shown that they but' with intellectual qualifications of a higher order than 1s now required for distinction on the screen. Unbappily as this is almost certain to turn out for some of the actors and actresses, it cannot but mark a great stride forward for the screen, and be advantageous to its public. ENOUGH OF LEGS (From the Argonaut, San Francisco) We suspect that the San Francisco newspapers are edited mostly by eld- erly gentlemen whose ideas of what is novel and alluring were acquired in the days of long skirts and modest wanpers. How otherwise can one account for their idee fixe that every other page in the paper must be "dressed up" by a picture of one or more girls prominently displaying their silk-clad legs? The practice reached one of its many heights of absurdity this week when the Exam. iner, announcing a radio show, show- ed us a radio set almost entirely smothered by girls draped before and above it. Every publicity man knows this weakness of the editors, and even the said Southern Pacific Rail- road recently exploited it by perch- ing show-girls in tights on the cow- catcher off a magnificent new loco- motive not for the purpose of dis- playing the show-girls but in the knowledge that the newspapers could not very well show the girls' legs without showing the new engine also. For shut-ins, the practice may have omething to commend it as giving Jie unfortunates an insight into the times and the custbms. But for the population that walks about and rides in cars and ferries it is incon- ceivable that mere pictures of girls' lags could offer any novelty or much attraction. The legs themselves are tdo omnipresent, in the too, too solid flesh, and he who wants more of them in his newspaper is a glutton for punishment. There are, it is true, legs and legs, but 'even the best of them grow tiresome in mass pro- duction.
