Now and then the real reason for some startling success Is that his vocation and his hobby happened to be identical. The new Federal census has one fatal defect.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA -a NEBRASKA INSTITUTION' COMPLETE REST ROOMS AT STANDARD OIL SERVICE STATIONS AN IMPRESSIVE PROTEST JUDGE FARIS AND PARKER CASE If the politicians and sectional traders in Congress do not know what the effect of the Hawley-Smoot tariff would be, our economists know. They know that such a bill will not help the farmer, that it will increase the cost of living, that it will decrease our exports, that it will imperil our foreign investments, that it will par alyze industry, that it will depress wages, that it will aggravate unem ployment, and that it will cause re sentments of a sort which make peace and good feeling among the nations precarious. The manifesto, in which 1000 American economists representing 179 schools and colleges urge Con gress not to pass and the President not to sign such a bill, is impressive. Virtually every eminent economist in the United States has joined in the protest. For the reasons given above. which must always have been obvious to everyone without a personal stake in the bill, the economists are con vinced that it would be better for the country to have the bill fail. The manifesto says: We do not believe that Amer ican manufacturers, in general, need higher tariffs. The report of the President's Committee on Recent Economic Changes has shown that industrial efficiency has increased, that costs have fallen, that profits have grown with amazing rapidity since the end of the World War. Already our factories supply our people with over 96 per cent of the manufactured goods which they consume and our producers look to foreign markets to absorb the increasing output of their ma chines. Further barriers to trade will serve them not well but ill. Representative Collier, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, points out that whereas Mr. Hoover asked Congress for a limited tariff primarily for the benefit of agricul ture, the substantial increases have been on manufactures of steel, cot ton, wool, flax, hemp, coal tar prod ucts, jute and rayon. Upon the other hand, the increased tariffs on wheat, corn and lard are no better than poli tical gestures. The debenture, which friight have helped the farmer, is no" longer in the bill. The House has restored shingles, silver, lumber and logs to the free list. Nevertheless, it has acquiesced in an increase from 1.76 to 2 cents on sugar, and the bill which has Just left the House car ries the highest tariff schedules in the history of the United States. Another impressive commentary upon what is happening has been is sued by Alfred Pearce Dennie, vice chairman of the United States Tariff Commission. Mr. Dennis told the American Academy of Political and Social Science at Washington Satur day that the American economic pol icy had become "a patchwork of compromises, the result cf jarring conflict in sectional interests." He says the tariff makers have subordin ated the national interests to the de mands of localities. He illuminates the point thus: We pay out about S7.000.000 a year in duties on imported olive oil to protect a circum scribed district in California that produces less than 150,000 gallons a year, or about 1 1-4 per cent of our consumption. At one-hundredth of the cost to the consumer we could give the Cali fornia industry the same amount cf benefit through a straight-out subsidiary of $70,000 a year and at the same time promote bet ter trade relations with the Mediterranean countries. Canada, the best of all our for eign markets, is solemnly warning that what we are about to do will be against our mutual interest. In France and other countries reprisals against our excessive tariffs are al ready active or in course of enact ment. Our foreign trade shows con stant and heavy losses. In the face of so many warnings it is amazing that either Congress or Mr. Hoover should persist in making such a law. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: BELLIE BURK'S WORD FOR IT Yesterday Judge Faris unwitting ly made an important contribution to the Parker debate when, in taking a motion under advisement, he ex pressed his dissent from a ruling in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. In the official defense of Judge Parker for his decision in the "yellow dog" contract case, written by Attorney-General Mitchell and is sued from the White House, the prin cipal point was that Parker was com pelled by his oath of office to follow the rulings cf the Supreme Court, re gardless of his personal convictions. The effect of this dogma, as we pointed out, would reduce Judges of inferior courts to mere clerks, forcing them to a slavish acceptance of pre cedent. We said further that, even if Judge Parker felt bound to follow a previous Supreme Court ruling, he might at least express his personal disagreement. That he did not do so gives rise to the assumption that he was of the Supreme Court's opinion. In the problem before Judge Faris. it is true, the Supreme Court has never expressed an opinion, but the principle is the same. As Judge of an inferior court, Faris boldly ex pressed his variance with the opinion of a higher court. "Inasmuch," said he, "as a cat may look at a King, I take the liberty of saying that I dis agree with the Court of Appeals for this circuit in its conclusion." More over, this is not an isolated instance. Judge Faris and many other Judges have made it a settled practice, when they feel constrained to follow high er opinion, to record their own dis agreement. The duty of Judges of lower courts was the subject of extended discus sion in the Senate last week. Senator Gillett asked Senator Dill if he would not agree that it is no evidence at all of an inferior Judge's opinion that he follows a Supreme Court ruling. Dill replied: "I do not agree to it. In a case of this kind I think that the Judge of an inferior court has the same right to show independence as has a Judge of the Supreme Court, and I think if he is fit to be on the supreme bench he will exercise that right by giving expression to his dis senting views." Illustration of inferior Judges' per sonal dissent from Supreme Court ruling was given in the Senate de bate; even more to the point, the in stance was cited of a State Supreme Court which decided a case contrary to prevailing U. S. Supreme Court views, whereupon the latter reversed its own views and affirmed the State Supreme Court's decision. Judge Faris did not violate his oath of office in expressing dissent from the Circuit Court's ruling; on the contrary he displayed the inde pendence of mind which distinguish es a good Judge from a mediocre one.

Las demonstrated an acute interest in Its success. Among the two-score and more papers to be read and discussed at the congress will be "The primacy of mental and nervous disorders as a world health problem and their seriousness as an obstacle to human welfare and hap piness. :o: A Kansas man, aged 95, says he has never used tobacco, kissed a wom an uttered an oath, played cards, traveled on a train or in an auto mobile; ha3 never been fishing, at tended a baseball game or a picture show.

The 1930 woman is described by the actress, Billie Burke, as a bru nette, no more than five feet, six inches tall, and weighing no more than 125 pounds. The boyish figure, she says, is out of style. The ladies whom we admired last year, will they be as glorious this year? And those whom we admired Uso much last year, will they be the belles of this? With the styles chang ing completely, it may become neces- sarp for women to display identifica tion cards on their waists, as men do on their coat-lapels at conventions, or number placard, such as football elevens wear. :o: A German editor who has been visiting in the United States says that men in high public office in this country, especially senators, are "terribly provincial." He thinks this is due to the fact that politics in this country generally is regarded jaa "dirty business." NOTICE In the District Court of Cass, County, Nebraska Nellie V.
