BOILED DOWN

The campaign on behalf of Cover
nor Smith seems already to have
boiled down to two arguments. He
will end prohibition. He is a good
fellow and has a warm heart. II
there is any other Democratic policy
careful search has failed to reveal
it. There are many excellent reasons
for voting against the Democratic
party-the partisan declaration for
immediate independence of the Phil
ippines, for example. But in its eff
fort to climb aboard the Republican
bandwagon the party has jettisoned
much of it's former cargo-protection
and the League of Nations, for eX-
ample. What is left of positive argu-
ments is summed up in the character
and actions of Governor Smith.
The prohibition issue as it touches
the two parties remains to be defined
in detail. Yet the essential problem
is not hard to discover. 1t was out
lined for the whole campaign by Gov
ernor Smiths Fourth of July Grafton.
Briefly, will the country ever turn
over to Tammany Hall the problem of
restoring temperance by modifying
behalf of the brass rail, vote for
Gal" Smith may yield a certain spiri-
tual satisfaction to the voter who is
religious "wet." AS practical
measure of reform, we doubt if any
greater harm could be done to the
cause of temperance than to identify
it with the name of Tammany Hall.
Vote for Gal" Smith and postpone
modification indefinitely sums up an
impartial outlook upon this part Of
the campaign.
To be sure, Mr.. Hoover is not
member of Tammany Hall and owes
no obligation to that organization.
He does not share with Governor
Smith the latter's heartfelt loyalty to
that eleemosynary institution. But
at no small risk to his life and as
gift to his country he helped save
from starvation a good many millions
of human beings. We think our read
ers will be disposed to agree with our
correspondent that the aid and COM
fort which Herbert Hoover brought
Belgium are at least a stand-oE
against the aid and comfort which
Alfred E. Smith has delivered to the
faithful of Fourteenth street-New
York Herald-Tribune.

FACT OR FICTION

A foreign observer, who has been
trying to follow the presidential cam
paign through a reading of the Wash
ington and New York newspapers,
seriously inquired of an American
friend the other day if he was certain
martial law would not be necessary in
order to insure proper protection at
the polls on election day. 1t appears
that from his newspaper reading he
had acquired the impression that a
virtual state of civil war was already
existing among Republican and Dem
ocratic party leaders over the man
ners and methods of the campaign.
He also had sensed that so intense a
bitterness was developing between the
two rival party camps that personal
violence might follow.
Happily, his friend was able to adj
wise him that the newspapers were
simply going through with the silly
season manifestations and that de-
opiIC ttIl VI LllC COluIllllo VI DelSh SlcllI >
political gossip which was being print
ed, that the campaign had not really
even opened as yet and that the fairy
stories accordingly were being fed out
to the public for want of something
better.
The readers of American metropol-
itan newspapers are so accustomed to
this curious type of political window
dessing that they pay but little atten-
ton to it, but it is not hard to visual
ize the impression which this marks
on foreigner not understanding our
pre-campaign activities. 1t would be
well for foreign visitors, anxious for
a real picture of our campaigns, if
they would begin the reading of one
or two substantial country newspapers
where space is too precious to be
wasted on highly imaginative political
fiction.

BACK TO REALITIES

Secretary Hoover's visit to Brule,
on his way to California, emphasizes
once more the realities of the Presi-
Dental campaign. Mr.. Hoover sought
and won the Republican Presidential
nomination as supporter of the Cool
idge policies. He is the inheritor OF
the Coolidge tradition. He has sat
since March 5, 1921, in the Harding
and Coolidge Cabinets. He has had a
conspicuous share in the great recon-
structive work of these two admins
trations. Sterilization, economy, tax
reduction, debt reduction, reduction
of national expenditure and the extra
ordinary economic recovery which has
flowed from them-all these are COM
prised in the program which he helped
to execute and which he is pledged
to continue.
And there are other things in the
Coolidge legacy. One is a foreign pol
icy which offers friendly cooperation
in all efforts to spread good feeling,
remove causes Of conflict and help the
world to recover from the losses and
exhaustion of the war, while at the
same time maintaining American
rights under international law and
avoiding undesirable entanglements in
European affairs through membership
in the League of Nations. A second
is the determination to protect the
American standards of living through
protection and limitation of immigra-
ton. A third is the relief of agricul-
tural depression by sound economic
methods-methods which will not put
the government into the risky bust
ness of farm products brokerage
The Coolidge administration has
been associated with unexampled
prosperity, individual as well as na-
tional. Mr.. Hoover, who has done 50
much to expand our foreign trade and
to standardize home production, is
fully equipped to continue prosperity
so far as it may depend on govern
mental operation. His record as ad-
ministrator is unexcelled. His high
qualifications for the Presidency are
recognized the world over He is the
logical successor to Mr.. Coolidge-the
man overwhelmingly designated by
party opinion as best fitted to take up
the Coolidge burden.
That is the case on which Secre-
tary Hoover's candidacy rests. 1t is
clear-cut and convincing. Does the
country want to go forward under
leadership with which it is familiar
and to whose success the last seven
years have so strikingly testified? Or
does it want to experiment with some
thing INFESTED and different New

Wool Is Pooled.

Farmers in the Ryan's Glade sec
ton of Garrett county pooled their
clip of wool on Tuesday at the office
of the Grange Milling and Supply
Company at Loeb Lynn Heights. The
pool consists of more than 5000 lbs.
This is considerably less than the
amount pooled last year, according to
j. L. McGlone, county agent, but he
stated that this amount was just from
the customers of the milling company
and not from all the farmers of the
community. More is expected to be
brought in. The wool was sold to

Seed Inspection Now In Progress
With much of the wheat crop in the
State now harvested and some of it
threshed, farmers who had their fields
examined for certification and desire
the final inspection are urged by the
Seed Certification Board at College
Park to send in a threshed sample of
the wheat that they would like certi-
fled. This, with the sample taken
from the field before harvesting, will
determine into which of the three
classes, established for seed wheat in
the State, the particular grain will
fall.
Tags showing the per cent of in
gradients other than wheat are sent
to the owner and these tags must be
placed on every bag of grain that is
sold for seed purposes. A list of the
seedsmen who have had their grain
tested is kept by the Board and those
desiring to buy seed may learn of the
nearest grower by writing to the Uni
versity of Maryland.
The Maryland Seed Certifcation
Board which works in cooperation
with the Maryland Crop Improvement
Association uses the following stand
ard in rating seed wheat in the State.
Certified seed is seed of variety
adapted to Maryland that is SO per
cent pure as to variety, traceable to
an accepted origin free from garlic
and sinking smut, with not more than
one per cent weeds and testing not
less than 80 per cent in termination.
Listed seed is seed of an adapted
variety. 1t does not quite meet the
requirements for certifcation, but is
high class and is usually cleaner and
purer than seed ordinarily found on
Maryland farms. Rejected seed is
that which is considered unfit for
seeding purposes,
Inspection and certifcation of seed
in the State is becaming more populaY
each year and as the supply Of good
seed wheat has never kept pace with
the demand a very fine market has
been developed in recent years for the
product.
