Gales, Gil and Mexico

In choosing PorteS Gil as provisional president
Mexico won moral victory great tenpta-
ton as a nation ever had
Mexico had two outstanding national figures to
guide her destinies. One was President Gales and
the other was President Elect Obregon.
An assassin's bullet removed Oregon, so as a
matter practical politics and for the sake of the
countrys immediate good the thing to do was to
continue President Gales in Office.
Gales calibre had been proved. He had demon
strated his craftsmanship his talent for national
construction and his almost religious determination to
lift his people as whole to higher standard of
living.
Considered purely from the standpoint of Mexico's
immediate future, we repeat Gales clearly was the
man to carry on with the job.
Fortunately for Mexico, however, President Gales
is thinking of tomorrow well today He insisted
that another man be selected to succeed him, COM
petey ignoring the strong pressure brought to bear
upon him to remain. He felt the time had come
definitely to prove those critics wrong who insisted
that only Diaz could rule his country.
So young lawyer-not soldier with an array of
brstling bayonets behind hirn-has been named pro-
viSonal president. His name is Emilio Portes Gil.
Despite his youth-he is just 81 years old-he has
made enviable reputation as governor, builder
of schools and roads, and a cabinet member, and
it is believed he will continue the Gales policy of
rapprochment ard friendship with the United States.
But to u.s. somehow, the important thing is less
the kind of man Gil turns out to be-vastly impor-
tant to Mexico and U.s. though this is-than that he
or any one else should have been chosen at all to
succeed Gales the circumstances being what they
were. Mexico is foolrg her enemies and-lets be
frank about it-surprising her friends and
more every day by her steady progress.
Her latest and perhaps greatest moral victory will
in time greatly outweigh the momentary advantage,
great though that would be- of retaining Gales in
power. For Gales by his renunciation has created
a precedent destined to have enormous influence on
the future of his country.

cold soak's" Author for Hoover

Striking evidence of the cross currents that pre-
vail in prohibitions relation to the presidential
paign is found in the fact that the author of "The
Old Soak comes out for Hoover.
One Of the greatest ironies on prohibition was
1.-THE Old Soak" Yet Don Marquis wet, will give
his vote to Hoover the first time in his life he ever
has voted for Republican
And his reasoning is clear-cut. 1t expresses what
we believe to be true of this campaign it affects
the prohibition question. What Marquis says is
Aconcise and true tribute to Hoover. e
- quoting Marquis a's
at don't think the liquor issue is ripe to spring
on the voters. There must be more education first.
When it is put before them, then it should be put
before them directly uncompcated with other issues.
1t is not clean-cut issue in this campaign that is
to say Smith if elected, will have tough job chang
ing the Eighteenth Amendment; Hoover, If elected,
will have tough job enforcing it.
II never before have voted for Republican for
any Office but intend to vote for Hoover. like
the man. his tone, his manner his essential charac
ter. He is an experienced administrator.
"He not only understands politics in the larger
sense but he is in close touch with the economic
and industrial situations, which, more and more, in
our intensely complex civilization have their influence
on national policies.
"'Ths Republic is taking foremost place among
the powers of the world by virtue Of its economic
position the world 1t is essential to have at the
head of it not only a man who understands the
relation between industry and politics in America, but
a man who understands in broad way the relations
Of this country to the general economic political
industrial situation throughout the world.
IT am going to vote for Hoover because think
he is better equipped to be leader in this new
craftsmanship than any other man prominent in
political life in America"
The prohibition question is a question in itself.
1t does not belong in either party things now
stand, for the simple that neither party is
unified on the ISSUE
There are scores of thousands of dry Democrats
and scores of thousands of wet Republicans. Since
prohibition cuts both ways through party lines 1t
cannot dominate the 1928 election, matter how
much the ardent drys or the ardent vets would like
to have it be the determining factor.

Politics or Honesty

Suppose we pursued such a course
in business. Suppose the great in
situations of this country refused to
hire managers and executives from
their competitors. Suppose the only
way you could rise in a bank, a
mandatory or railroad was by
staying with it.
We have made the brass collar the
badge of preferment in politics. well
knowing that it would lead to stag
nation and destruction if millions of
people we're not willing to sacrifice
their opportunity to hold office for
the sake OF expressing their personal
views.
We tell our young men and women
to be honest and sincere. Then we
advise them to go into politics, well
knowing that they can not make
Roadway unless they kick their con-
science under the table and go
along with the machine. That is
why-our campaigns run to bunk.

WordIeSS Struggle

The great weakness of our po-
litical system consists in the fact
that we demand just about so much
talk, whether there is anything to
say.
The CroatS pursue an opposite
course in their struggle for fair
treatment Instead of talking. they
have adopted a policy of silence.
They absolutely refuse to speak to
the Serbs.
The Serbs simply do not know
what to make of it. Neither do
they know how to retaliate. The
result is that for the first time since
the nation of Jugo-Slavia was
formed, the Serbs are showing a
disposition to give the Greats what
they want.
Far be it from me to recommend
the method, but it has it's advan-
tages. Silence would certainly be
relief these days, even in moderate
doses. There is so much talk that
no one has time to think.
That is one reason why the cam
paign is running short Of ideas, why
full-srown men turn to childish
whispers" for material, why back
alley gossip is picked up as though
it represented a serious problem.

Dry Issue FIopS

The show started with Hoover
running on Coolidge'S record and
Governor Smith running on Jeffer-
sons record. Though full Of self
complacency, the platforms were
mild enough to jar no one. Even
Volsteadism failed to set rise I'M
til Governor Smith re-wrote, re-
vised or clarified, as you prefer, the
Democratic announcement.
That seemed to clear the atmos-
phere for the moment. A good many
folks settled down to the contented
belief that prohibition would fur
nish the chief argument.
Prohibition proved something Of
a flop, and farm relief was substi-
tuted, which would have been all
right, except that after all the dis
cussing and calculating, you can
not be sure whether Hoover is
against the McNary- Haugen bill,
or Governor Smith is for the equa-
lization fee.

gard to water power, which was

Nay, the law had been transgressed and the dignity of the l2w must be upheld for the bene fit of Eastern sport hunters.
