Consolation for the Vets

me New York Herald-Tribune staunchly republi-
S@n' iails to find in The election Of Herbert Hoover the
victory Tor prohibition claimed BY the southern dem
oerats who deserted their party.
Inc Anti-Saloon League can find little satisfaction
IN the popular figure" the New York paper asserts, and
'heh states that Governor Smith was regarded as the
"ettest Of vets and still he polled the largest totsl
ever given a democratic candidate. Deduct from Gov
erhor smiths total some Of the votes he received IA
'"e ury south. Deduct some more from the totals he
mad IN some Of the wet states. And We have remaining
= total which, added to that wet republicans who voted
Tor Mr. Hoover may not give a majority, but is never
theless 50 large that it must command attention.
In the first place, there is not the least doubt in
the world that several milien wet voters gave their
support to Mr.. Hoover. Take New York state, for ex-
ample: Governor Smith would have carried it If the
issue had been simply wet versus dry. Further proof
can be found in the result in Wisconsin"
IL is not often that both sides Of a question can ex-
tract solace from election returns, especially in an
election where the majority was 50 overwhelming. But,
to Judge from the editorial utteranees Of the New York
paper. the vets are exultant over the showing, and
there is no question that the drys are celebrating what
the Anti-Saloon League has termed a magnificent
victory"
The claim was made in the South that the election
was in reality a referendum on prohibition. No one
can deny that in the South It was the issue of the cam
paign; but the North did not regard il as an issue,
or at least the election returns so indicate.
With both sides satisfied with the election results
it would seem that the prohibition question would be
permitted TO lie quiescent, but there is no indication
that it will. There are too many professional politi-
clans on both sides Of the prohibition issue, and the
only way they can exc out a comfortable eincome Is
{ keep the public excited. II the professionals on both
sides we're sincere they would devote more attention
70 securing efficient law enforcement, which would
speedily prove 70 the American public whether prohi-
bition is merely a mobile experiment. or a failure.

The development of the modern infantryman, who u!ti-
mately put the pikeman out CT business and is making
IL hard for cavalry to exist, is based on the increasing
fire power Of the doughboy's weapon. Il IL in the
further exploitation Of automatic possibilities that the
United States Army is probably aiming in what the
Springfield Republican reports as the possible rearm-
ing Of Uncle Sans foot soldiers with a semi-automatic
rifle Of 27.6 cSliber instead Of the present 3O-caliber
Springfield.
The slight reduction in caliber OF the weapon can
be accomplished without any noticeable reduction IN
the deodly character Of the missile. while the smaller
bullet is probably designed almost entirely with an eye
toward decreasing the weight Of the carried ammuni-
tion.
Familiarity with the Browning automatic that can
be fired from the shoulder like the ordinary rifle i'm
presses the observer that here is the weapon Of the
future for the infantryman until he realizes how rap
idly il will eat up ammunition and calculates the i'm
possibility of asking the heavily laden soldier to carry
enough to keep il in action. A semi automatic rifle
with faster fire power than the Springfield, but not
as rapid shooting capacity as the light Browning. and
firing a lighter bullet, might solve both the problem
Of speeding up the in~fantryman's firing rate and solv-
ing the problem Of ammunition supply.
II the Springfield is to be superseded. however, it
will have its mourners. II seemed to the American
army by far the most efficient light arm in the las.
war, from the aIl-round view Of light weight, accuracy.
facility Of use. field service under all conditions, and
potential fire power. Actually, the rifle was not used
up to the limit Of what the regular army believes its
normal efficiency in combat. That is, there were next
to no occasions during the American participation when
the fortunes Of an encounter we're decided by the ST.
perior fire power Of the infantry.

The World and All
FOUR YEARS
By Charles 4. DriseoiI

At the beginning Of the presidential campaign (

promise. 1t wasn't hard to keep. I find other topics
so much more interesting to talk about than the topics
that are generally labelled politics during campaigns

think | missed much? ! heard my friends talking about
the speeches, and it seemed to me that there were MANI
other things more interesting. / have no radio, 50 J

When my n~eighbors' radios got to braying too loudly, I
shut the windows and picked up some good book, and
SO the evenings passed pleasantly.

got through the campaign without a single polit-
ieal argument, too. My friends talked interestingly and
heatedly about their ideas of the personalities Of the
candidates and the candidates wives, and | listened
but ! couldn't find nything in all this to argue about.
None Of II had the slightest relation To the science of
politics, which. when and if divorced from c~onsidera-
lions Of personalities and other incidentals, Is really a
very noble science.
To me it seemed that either candidate was wholly
competent to be president Of the United States. !
thought both candidates were far above the average Of
what we arc wont to call presidential timber" in this
country. / couldn't sec this country going to the dogs
on account OF the election OF either OF them. | felt
that we would be altogether safe with either ono in the
White House. So I couldn't become excited. and what
good j. there in a political argument If you don't get
excited?
From this time on I shall consider myself At lib
erty to talk politics in this column. The subject was
taboo with me only during the mad season. BY politics
Of course, | do not mean partisan politics. Nor do I
mean ugly gossip about persons who hold office n
aspire TO hold office.
There arc no political issues in this country to be-
come bitter about. We have such a prosperous and
peaceful and we'll integrated citizenshin that IL takes
a powerfully organized group Of evil-minded persons
70 stir up even the faintest interest in hatred. We
have the happiest country in the world. Let Us enjoy
i and appreciate it for four more years. until it IS
time to go foolish again. And when We talk about pol
itics during these four years. let rs talk as sensible,
thoughtful folk who are weighing the welfare Of their
country.
