RELUCTANT TESTIMONY.

Surely this is a remarkable show
ing and one which will have a
weighty effect in determining the
manner in which public opinion will
render its verdict as to the success
or failure OF prohibition in the largest
city in the world II 1t can succeed
there, 1t can succeed anywhere.
1t must be remembered, too, that

reported that the allegations of
burglary and forgery lodged against
him had arisen from marital diff

The Victory Medal

When the Nar department was
readyt to distribute the victory medals
they drew up great bulletins and is
sued all sorts of pamphlets concern
ing the distribution Of this medal,
but they surrounded the awarding
with so much red tape that the ex-
soldier gave It up as hopeless and
was willing for his medal to remain
uncalleG for rather than go through
with all the forn1ality required.
The government sensed the trouble
and set about to reach the men
through some agency, for although
the medals were ready for distribu-
tion there were no applications, and
only this month was it announced
that the American Legion had been
called en- again by the war depart.
ment to assist them in doing some
thing which they had failed at;
through the regular channels.
So, now the Legion has accepted
this job and will carry it on until
all the men who apply have received
their medals and the Legion will
attempt to get word to all the former
service men about this award, in or
der that on November IL, armistice
day, there can be a great gather
ing Of ex-seldiers all over the coun-
try and to each will be given the
victory medal.
The necessary forms and informa-
ton have been sent to the different
post commanders of the American
Legion all over the country and if
those in this community will call on
Hal Kohn, at the New Book Store,
they can secure their application and
will be assisted in filling the forms
out. In this work Post Commander
kohn will be assisted by DR.. John
8. Settler. All the information which
applicants must furnish will be
found on their discharges and when
they apply for applications Mr..
Kohn asks that they will please
,ring their discharges with them.

A ROAD FOR HOOVER

Our esteemed contemporary.
The New York World, is tho
most agitated newspaper in
America at all times and at all
season. Its softest whisper is as
the voice of the bulls Of Bashan;
and when it sets itself to roar 1t
roars that it will do any mans
heart good to hear"
Z We are reprinting this mora
ing the most tremendous roar
that has emanated from the
sanctum Of the World sence 1912
The World has finally made up
its mind that it is for Herbert
Hoover for President, and II
takes the country into its cpnfi-
dence in tones fit to rattle the
winds in San Francisco. He is
the kind Of man that ought to
be President of the United States

nominated on either partisan
ticket heSwiillendm strength
to- thu party than, he derives
thsreffom. But the American
people. " the World sapiently OBJ
serves, ARE tired of professional
politicians and Disguised with
party politics." Therefore, hav-
ing found Hoover to its mind,
the World formally rejects its
allegiance to the Democratic or
ganiTAtion in favor of its own
candidate: we should not hest
tate to support him as the Re-
publican candidate on a platform
representing the kind of govern
ment which Mr.. Hoover has ex-
emplified in his public career. y
And again. ''party lines have be-
come artificial and party adher-
ence has degenerated into q mere
matter Of prejudice, habit, self
interest and cynicism."
The politicians Of neither old
party want Hoover because he is
q rank outsider, whom they have
no hope Of being able to control.
However, we do not believe that
the Democrats can win without
him: nor do we believe that the
Republicans could beat him
certainly they could not with any
Of the eininently respectable non
entities SO far put forward. To
Jour mind, if the Republicans
should nominate Hoover, they
would render their triumph abso-
solutely certain; if the Demo
Gratis fail to nominate him, they
render their defeat inevitable.
Bot the trouble is, no matter
which party dominates him, if
he Is elected, the President of
the United States will be Herbert
Hoover. and not the party leaders
who secured his nomination. The
prospect does not please the
leaders. naturally; but what are
they going to do about it,
