in his use of adjectives.
Hickman's attorney claims there were ten
things wrong about the trial which lead to his
Iconviction for the second most brutal murder in

Mrs. Atherton Dupuy who served on the
Democratic publicity committee during the 1924
campaign is now forming Hoover Apron Clubs"
organizations of Democratic women who ap-
prove of Mr. Hoovers stand the prohibition
question And yet somebody laughed at us the
other day when we said the women of the nation
would elect Hoover by tremendous majority.

We have heard for years and years about
people who accomplish their desire through sheer
force of personality. Arthur Brisbane rang
| change on this the other day when he talked
about Hiram johnson and Jim Reed doing things
through "sheer force of sincerity" That strikes
us as an ideal asset-and one which the insincere
person won't recognize once in thousand times.

| New York is building day hotel near its
Grand Central station. Here visitors to the city
for single day may obtain simple furnished
and adequate sitting and bath for much less

rest in privacy and comfort It's nice little
idea. If the Twin Cities would have a place or
two like that it would make quite a hit with
folks living within the radius of days trip.

the prohibition question" and urged the women to

look upon the matter from a moral standpoint
only that may open a new avenue of research

The Bishop of Canterbury, peeved bit becaus
he couldn't have his own way about the revisio,
of the prayer book, sent his resignation to tn,
King. Such thing had never happened in tn
history of England and it so flabbergasted tn
