Governor Smith IL outspoken

fines boldly and distinctly his
attitude on the questions which

on any subject with which he
deals. Surely that is Il most de.

WITT AtWPsa I
Although Governor Smith does
not reach the issue OF prohibition
until he has discussed some eight
other topics, the relative space he
accords the subject is fair indi-
cation that he regards it as one Of
outstanding importance. Though
he has not seen fit to regard the
nation as unit for the purpose
of eradicating the economic evils
of intoxicants, he says, as to agri-
culture, that "the country Is an
economic whole" and he offers no
more by way OF practical solution
than Mr.. Hoover has suggested.
Indeed, 1t is virtually identical.

With greatest interest centerad

he Is explicit on that subject.
He burns all his bridges

principles as he sees them. Many
who may not agree with him will

The Star respects Governor
smith for making the prohibition
issue definite. That there are evils
under national prohibition il evil
dent, there were greater evils un-
der the old system.
To be sure Governor Smith Is
against the saloon. But it ii diff
hcllt to see why drinking places
would not flourish under q ma
tional administration that was
known to oppose the Volstead act.
Theoretically It II possible to en-
force q law which the enforcement
authority is fighting. Practically
it Is impossible. This has been
proved in New York. under the
administration Of Governor Smith.

Second. Governor Smith il right

did a good deal to make wheat
was asserted that, according to Of
prices average higher today. II
fetal estimates, there are only Co.
100000 bushels OF wheat in the
hands Of the Canadian farmers, of
which 25,000,0OO bushels are still
unthrcshed. European demand to-
day, however, for wheat from North
American was reported as slow.
Wheat closed unsettled ia to IL
cent net higher, corn IA to SIS cent
off, oats unchanged to IA cent
down, and provisions unchanged to
u setback OF IL cents.
Upturns here in wheat values to-
day that were associated with un-
favorable domestic winter crop con-
ditions and with unexpected adj
vances ut Liverpool came in the face
of the fact that the surplus wheat
stocks of North America are now
the largest in many years. On the
other hand, the Canadian govern
mcnt crop report was less bcarish
than expected, the final estimate
showing a reduction from prelimin.
airy returns. Besides, advices were
current that Argentine wheat load
ings are likely to decrease next
month.
Indications OF good export bust
ness in corn did much today to lift
corn values. Moreover, commission
houses readily absorbed offerings of
future deliveries. Rural offerings of
corn to arrive here were light. To-
days actual arrivals Of corn in Chi
cago and Kansas City though. were
liberal, Chicago receipts totaling $50
cars.
