ALL THRESHED STRAW.

Fortunately for Gov. Smith all the whispered Smith in the campaign tried out on the South during the primary contest. Col. Roose- velt's speeches and the islanders about Mrs Smiths alleged lack of culture" and all the imprinted stuff, circulated and peddled from mouth to And when the convention met at Houston the majority of the Southern Delegates were for Gov Smith, and Mrs Smith was feted and admired at the Dixie metropolis.
 During a political campaign, take it for grant ed that anything that will stand the light of day will be printed in the open under circumstances that will permit of its being faced. This ought, also, to be taken into account; Gov. Smith has been through five State campaigns, and fifteen city campaigns, and, he has said had to fight his way to in all of them His career has been a subject of discussion for a quarter of a century and all the time the light of publicity has blazed about him. No man in the country has been the subject of search ing inquiry. The Republican organization in New York likes victory far better than defeat and it has been throwing away chances dur ing the years that Gov. Smith has administered defeat after defeat to it.
 It may be taken for granted that the whs- perings of the wiseacres all threshed straw. Long since, they ceased to yield anything of the people know. Common sense dictates that charges against a of Gov. Smiths standing made any way except in the open not true

"A Triumph for British Common Sense.' 5
(New York World ]


 To the pleas of the British railways for a gen. eral reduction of wages the three big national unions at first naturally offered opposition But the financial dinicplties of the railroads and the immediate need of economies were made so plain to them that in the end they yielded The final agreement, or course, was a compromises 2h- percent. cut in the pay of all in the service of the railways, from officials at the top to the lowest paid workers. And so without a strike and without threats of compusion on either side the dispute was amicably settled.
 The negotiations were orderly but protracted but in the outcome they justified the statement or J. II. Thomas for the National Union of Rail- way Men, that it was "a great settlement q triumph for British common sense" Without any disruption of railway service or industry or show of unfrendliness, the men consented to ac eept less pay because of the steady decline in the companies revenues,
 The saving will be about $15,00O 900 year at the expense of the workers, but by way of compensation large numbers of them esneciallv the shop men, will expect more days work at the slightly lower rate. In the end it shonld not Wofk to their actual disadvantage The rail ways Will be put on sounder footing and all parties above all the public, will be snared inc unhappy prospect of disastrous break of which the cost would certainly be incalculabe As if turns out, the triumph of common sense" sbould work out smoothly for the good of all

LEWIS, BABBITT, EFT AL.

In another place is an editorial from the Olympia olympian in which Sinclair Lewis is quoted saying:
 like the Babbtts the Dr. Picker
 baughs. the Will Kennecotts and even
 the Elmer Gantrys better than any
 one else earth They are good fel-
 lows They laugh-really laugh.
 Lewis admits, of course that he would wish they knew little about history, that they should better comprehend the difference between Irish stew and fried mushrooms and that they should talk more about the quest of God and less about the quest for the best carburetor.
 We had suspected MT. Lews's fondness for Dr. Will Kennecott and MT George F. Babbitt His picture of Dr. Kennecotts pride when he brought his bride home to Main Street and that other picture of the kindly country doctor, driving over the roads of the bleak prairies and keeping his eye and ear open to get the dope on the birds against the beginning of the open season, made by artist who was in spiritual touch with his subject. Then there is the vision of the businesslke but amable Babbitt walking from his office to his club for lunch, hands deep in pockets, trying to conjure up in suits to be hurled at the various friends he would meet at the big round-table Of course, Lewis loves Babbitt. No one could resist loving him or Dr. Kenneeott
 But we confess we never dreamed of that professed affection for Elmer Gantry Gantry is not only without morals. but he is unvarnished faker. helping person. He is wholly selfish, seeking power and the qualification of his appetites and passions to sooth unsuitable egoism and persistent animalism regardless of whom he might hart He is hypocrite and fraud, unadulterated His like-the believing bulls of reform, pretending virtues they do not possess. imposing upon foolish people and inducing them to back up efforts to establish a super govern ment with themselves the governors-are too menaeng to the welfare of the country to har- monize with conception of the Lewis tastes

Sinclair Lewis Fond of the Babbitts.
Olympia Olympian.)

Olympia Olympian) Sinclair Lewis, who wrote Main Street" and '.Babbitt,' is supposed to be pretty well soured on America and American life He is generally pictured as a sneerng critic, fonder of every other place earth than of his own land. But apparently it isn't It seems that he likes this country better than have guessed. The weekly magazine The Nation, has been printing a series of articles by prominent people on the kind of country they would like to live in if they had the chance to order everything to their desires And Sinclair Lewis, in his article in that series, has this to say:
 Matter of fact, I don't believe my Utopia would vastly differ from that of Mr George Horace Lorimer of the Sat urday Evening Post
 Now MT. Lorimers Utopia I fancy would consist of world of delightful and miraculously convenient little homes: of people competent in their jobs; and for vacation, the Canadian wlds, the South Sea islands and dinner in Paris. I don't know that I can in any way improve this Utopian vision. After delivering himself of this surprising pronouncement Lewis goes on:
 I frequently credited with being the worst crab, next to Father Mencken and Brother Nathan in our Beloved States. l informed by numerous preachers and edtcia writers that I'm all for anarchism and bombing and gen. era hell to pay Actually, I like the Rabbits. the Dr. Pickerbaughs, the Will Kennicots and the Elmer Gantrys better than any one else earth They good fellows They laugh-really laugh.
 l have for them only three Utopian ideals: that they should know a little more about history; that they should better comprehend the difference be- tween Irish stew in America and fried mushrooms at Schoener's in Vienna and that they should talk of the quest Oftener q he tha best carburetor."
 And this from the critical Sinclair Lewis! Apparently his countrymen have misjudged him most woefully.

THE CANDIDATES.

newspaper can well afford to defend both Gov Smith and MT. Hoover from whispered sland- CTS of prejudiced intolerant partisans and if it is honest it will do For instance in formed men know that Gov Smith could not be influenced in his official acts or patriotic sentiments by the Pope even if the latter would attempt such thing and that MT Hoover could not be influenced in his official acts or patriotic sentiments by his English friends and former European social and business associates. Every informed knows that neither of them are grafters CT unclean. Every informed knows that both men of the highest character and efficiency-personally and politically honest. Any sort of campaign that does not take these things into account is based ignorance or intolerant bigotry or wilful purpose to deceive-mostly, probably, on ignorance of the facts

 What a man cant understand is why a wife thinks she has to call the attention of the company to the cobweb she has missed, or to the spots on his clothing when they are out in company.
 There are a good many things that give a woman lots of pleas ure, but she gets the biggest kick out of being able to snub some other women against whom she has a grudge.
