 Was Too Severe
 Informed by Judge Fred R.

 Reconciliation Fails
 Mrs Woodside's arrest followed unsuccessful efforts of welfare of ticlals to effect reconciliation after l.orene left her home to stay with her Sunday school teacher. and the mother threatened to discipline the girl further should she return.
 Parents have q right to punish their children, but they have no right to be brutal" Judge Woodsido said in imposing sentence

 MT. Woodside announced he would abide by his wife's wish not to pay the fine, but hoped 10 persuade Judge White to grant her q parole. The judge said he had not consid- cred parole. MT.

 While Loren's father, J. l.. Jones or Johnston. Colo, who has remar- ricd and has three children, invited her to make her home with him, the girl refused. The Woodsides operate a hotel here.
 Although Judge White did not answer Lorene's question from the bench in an unofficial opinion after coutr adjourned he expressed the belief the girl was free to choose her home. She is above the juvenile court age of 16 years and therefore under the jurisdiction of no court, the judge explained.
 Upwards of 5000 persons attend ed the hearing in the auditorium of the city hall. Thousands were turn ed away.

Plymouth, Mass, March 10 R)- The Eastern Steamship companys S steamer Robert E. Lee, was high and dry on the Mary Ann rocks, two miles off Manomet Point, at low tide this morning. A message to the Manomet Point coast guard station at q. nl., from the steamer which grounded while bound from Boston to New York last night, said that at that hour there was no water in Che engine room which few hours earlier had been flooded The weather was improving and those aboard Were considered in no dan ger. It was indicated that no at- tempt would be made to take off any of the 15o passengers and 113 mem- bers of the crew before high water early this afternoon.
 Earlier Plans Changed
 Earlier plans to try to transfer them to the Lees sister steamer, George Washington, were abandon cd. The George Washington, coming from New York. halted in the vicin- ity of the Lee this morning but after an hours wait it was found that the numerous reefs and shallow water made 1t impossible for her 10 get near the stranded vessel and the sea vas too rough to attempt the trans fer.
 The George Washington proceeded to Boston. Several rescue vessels were standing by a distance of about a mile. They included the coast guard cutters Redwing and Tuscan ora, the submarine tender Bushnell, the naval salvage ship Falcon, and the minesweeper Mallard.
 Sea still Rough
 The binding snowstorm In which the steamer struck while working iler way along the shore and heading toward the entrance to the Cape Cod canal, ceased early today This forenoon the gales had abated con- slderably but the sea was still rough. Hope was seen in a shift of the wind from the southeast to the north with indications that it would swing around to the west later in the day.
 With an off shore wind 1t was be- Hcved the seas would abate material iy and permit of rescue work.
 Several officers of the Eastern Steamship company arrived here carly today after an automobile trip from Boston. After surveying the scene they outlined a. tentative plan 10 have the passengers of the Lee taken off later in the day in navy tugs and brought ashore, probably at Sandwich. This plan was dependent upon the weather.
 Radio messages from the Lee carly in the night had indicated that she was in great danger but later word was that the first fears of Cap tain H. W. Robinson had abated, that all the Messengers were com fortable and that there was no con- fusion aboard At 9:45 a. m.. after several at tempts, a crew from the Manomet Point coast guard station succeeded in launching surf boat, and after q furious struggle with the rough sea, pulled alongside of the Robert E. Lee. It was thought on shore that the coastguardsmen would not make any attempt to take off any of the passengers or crew until the seas abated. The dangerous trip. it was said at the coast guard station, was to establish direct cimmunicatiOn l with the Lees commander.

 He did not refer in his propar,d speech to the newspapers by name, but the context of his remarks show ed clearly that he meant the Scripps Howard chain.
 Also in his prepared address, Mr. Nlllis refrained from using the name Of the commerce secretary. who is m the field against him for the Ohio delegation to the Kansas City con- Nention. But he managed. without being so specific, to reemphasize his contention that Mr. Hoover is "in- t@rnatlonally minded" believer in the League of Nations, and out or sympathy with the orthodox republi- cans views on the tariff
 Attack Line New
 In the main, the Ohio senator. as he addressed group of his support CTS here, followed the line of attack he used last Saturday night at Wellston in launching his campaign against Hoover.
 But his attack on the newspapers was new.
 One Of the chief contenders in the newspaper field Tor the control of the republican pomination for the presidency" he asserted, ''is a chain ot newspapers that have habitually supported democratic candidates for the presidency, and usually for state offices II is reported that the edi- tors and managers of these news papers recently had q meeting in h. hlana and decided, amongst other things, that they would issue a ukas" 10 the republican party directing it whom to nominate for the presiden- Cy. To insure strict and prompt compliance with their order they announced that unless this were ionc. their influence would be thrown to Governor Al Smith.
 Since when has the republican party come to the place where its candidates are 10 be dictated bv a cham of newspapers that never sup ported the republican ticket? Upon what theory shall any combination of newspapers be permitted to say with effect, to the republican party, that it must nominate one particular

Germany Takes Lead

AS in so many things, Germany Is
showing a disposition to take the
lead. Nothing illustrates German
energy and initiative more wildly
than the progress that country has
made not only in rebuilding its
ships. but in the development of
aviation.
1t is her evident intention to win
a commanding place in transporta-
ton. The energy with which she
is constructing ocean liners and es-
tablishing air passenger service, is,
perhaps, the most spectacular fea-
ture of war recovery.
Though practically despoiled OF
her merchant marine at the end of
the war, she has gone a long way
toward rebuilding it. AS a climax
to her achievement in this line, she
has just launched two of the big
ges5 and speediest liners ever built
They are the Europa and Bremen.
According to a recent test they
will develop an average speed Of
26ia knots, which will enable them
to make the passage from New York
to Cherbourg in five days.

A Difference of Onininn


The Rt. Rev. William T. Manning, Protestant Epis-
copal bishop of New York spoke in support of prohi
bition from his pulpit Sunday.
He has to believe the law is good one, he
said, and predicted that opposition to it will
The bishop supported prohibition he said "be-
of the benefits it is bringing to the lives and
homes of the plain people"
We do not know just who the bishop means by
plain people but possibly the seventeen persons who
died from poison liquor in the lower East side of New
York during the twenty-four hour period in which
the bishop spoke would fall within that category.
Police Immediately began inquiries at what are
known "shock joints where poor people in the
tenement district buy drinks for is cents.
Bellevue Hospital admitted ffty-seven patients to
its alcoholic ward during the twentyfour hours
The city's chief medical officer, commenting on
these facts said poor ethyl and grain alcohol is being
used for manufacturing booze.
And, said New York dispatch, OR Norris added
that the city suddenly has been flooded with bad
booze, which claims most of its victims among the
poorer classes"

Prayer and Politics

The calling Of day of prayer on election
day by one group of local ministers for the
purpose of defeating AL Smith will be deplored
by the real friends of Herbert Hoover.
However sincerely the ministers may believe
that the views Of Smith constitute menace
to the Nation, the great mass of men and women
do not believe that divine intervention is needed
to protect the Nation from any man who has
won the esteem and respect which are the mer-
tied possession of the great Governor OF New
York.
The occasion will be interpreted only as an
injection of religious prejudice into a national
election an event against which Hoover has
taken every precaution to prevent and which
he has consistently denounced.
The resentment that would follow the call
ing of special masses on election day in Catholic
churches for the election of Smith can be left
to the imagination.
This State has seen the results of the injec-
ton of religious hates and prejudices into po-
1itical affairs.
Too many good intentioned men and women
now regret that they followed the specious
pleas of Stephenson and his COLLINS when he
once played upon their passions with misinfor-
nation and with hymns Of hate.
They remember the untoward results of that
adventure and regret the hates and enmities
and the ostracisms which once fourished under
the fires Of the burning crosses.
Perhaps there was never time when there
was greater need for prayer, but it should be
a prayer for that broad tolerance which opens
the way to human brotherhood; for intelligent
and dispassonate judgment; for real and criti-
cal study of public questions and knowledge of
facts and conditions
There are other denominations Protestant,
which hold an entirely different view of prohi-
bition than that for which these ministers will
pray.
The nationwide survey of the views OF the
Episcopal clergy recently indicated no belief
on their part that the present system is in
spired but that, on the contrary, it was most
unavoidable and had produced some deplorabe
conditions which might be corrected.
Political questions certainly should be set
tied by discussion and examination. Resort to
prayer in politics, generally speaking, has but
the result Of causing dissensions and bitter
ness-and in this, of all years. is to be deplored.
