GOVERNOR SMITH
 SPEAKS OUT

Numerous critics Of Governor smith have been yodeling about how he stands on national issues. A man who probably will be the candidate for president should have some such ideas and let them be known, has run the anvil chorus.
 Today the governor gave hls seighth and last message" to the New York legislature, and in it the critics have all they need of the most important national issue.
 The governor handles the prohi- bition question without trying to dodge any of it's implications. h. stead of adopting the favorite politi- cal pastime of ignoring this issue. he brings it out in the open and bases his deductions upon sound demo- cratic principles.
 . His recommendation that future federal constitutional amendments be submitted to state referenduns before the various legislatures take action upon them is sound doctrine.
 That is something for the future: At the present moment, however the 18th amendment is in the Con- stitution and no referendum after the fact seems likely to have much in- fluence in connection with it. There fore the governor, pending whatever action might be taken in Washing ton, if any. makes the important statement that it is the states sacred duty" to sustain the amend ment and Volstead act while it is law.
 New York's legislature was one of those which ratified the 18th amend ment. Ratification in 1919 was
  ernor. Seven years later the state referendum proposing modification was carried to 1. But, New York having ratified the amendment, the subsequent refendum has no pur- pose except to indicate the popular sentiment.
 That enforcement begins at the bottom. not at the top, is state ment that the governor took pains to prove. Law enforcement must of necessity begin with arrest. speak only the truth when say that the people of any locality get the degree of law enforcement upon which they insist and for which they are willing to pay"
 The governors detailed discussion of the prohibition issue-probably handled in better spirit in his mes sage than it will be in the political platforms, dope books and by cam- paign orators later in the campaign goes to the root of it and leaves no one in doubt as to where he pre- fers to cast his shadow.
 Although ratification in New York was contrary to popular opinion, the governor points out that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and that he, upon oath to abide by the law of the land will stand for enforcing it.
 In other words, should he be elected President he likewise will stand on his oath to enforce what ever laws come within his jurisdic- tion. But the idea that governor or q president is the chief law enforc- ing officer is pretty well smashed by the Smith message.
 Laws are enforced from the ground up, not from the head down. l

Point Of Etiquette

Introductions on the street and
in public places are not made as
freely as at social gatherings. The
reasons for this are obvious. First.
the meeting is apt to be just cur
sorry one and no introduction is called
for; and second, when two people
are introduced in public, in shop,
a railway station or the elevator of
public building their names are
not only given to each other but to
every one else within ear-shot.
So on the street or in public
place, if you are with friend and
chance TO meet some one you alone
know you need not feel it incum-
bent upon acquaintance, unless you
have some special purpose in wish
ing to bring them together.
If you desire a word with the new
conner, you may excuse yourself from
your companion, saying courteously,
Pardon me for moment" and at
the end of your conversational
should be brief-rejoin your original
companion. Or you may, without
a qualm of conscience, merely give
the newcomer a bright smile and a
nod, and word or two of greeting
in the presence of your first friend,
without feeling you are under any
obligation to go through formal
presentation or to apologize to either
of Them

There is no story, save that
actually written by the blood
and courage of unwilling par
Elephants; no sex slush, no
happy ending. It is the chroni-
Gle of the Great Adventure and
as such it is inviolate from the
tempering hands of directors or
scenarists.
Every branch of the service
is represented in some ringing
episode. There are the planes
dropping bombs, the artillery
battering enemy towns, the in
fantry in muck and mire and
advancing under whitening fire;
antiaircraft gunners potting
plane just after it has fired an
observation balloon; the troop
ships, conveys, advancing tanks
and exploding mines, denoc-
racy's crusaders dropping under
machine gun fire and the inevi-
table harvest of dead.
You see the Kaiser reviewing
his housekeeping troops in
1914 and you try to grasp in
an instant the significance of
geography's upheavals since
that time. The Gar encour-
ages his men and your bet is
safe that every man in the pic
ture was slaughtered, for, be-
tween intrigue and deceit back
home and the powerful decima-
ton of German arms in the
early days of the war, few were
the Russian unfortunates who
ever again saw their own from
tiers.
These are fine pictures and
whether you were civilian or
combatant you cannot fail to
like this journey back to a
world that was upside down.
