of the four speeches that Herbert
Hoover will deliver in his cam

Prohibition. generally regarded
as the outstanding issue OF the
presidential contest, may be treated
in one OF the addresses which the
republican candidate viii deliver In
his final drive as he swings back

Meantime. however. a series OF
statements, dealing with this sub
ject will be given out through re-
publican national headquarters here.
The first OF these will be issued this
week under present plans.
Hoover's decision to limit to four
the number of his speeches on the
Atlantic seaboard has puzzled his
party leaders and the public alike.
but to those who know the man
and his methods the explanation is
comparatively simple.
Is Not Adverse
1t ID not that he Is adverse to
public speaking and facing crowds.
The answer is found In the time
he devotes to the preparation OF
each address and his abiding con-
viction that it is better to speak in
frequently and well than it is to
speak frequently but not SO well.
Since starting out in quest OF his
first elective office. the republican
candidate has developed a literary
style peculiarly his own and in
some respects as unique as some OF
the ideas he has brought to the
conduct of the campaign, ideas that
have shocked some Of the oldtimers
in the game of politics.

In its present form 1t can scarcely hope to exist long i;l spite of the fact that it has possibili- . ties if its weak spots are strength ened.
 This is the story of the regenera ton of Thomas Trumbull Gage. 3rd.. young man whose addiction to drink is condoned by a doting aunt who believes he is the victim of hereditary nervousness. Before he fights his way to manhood he loses his fiancee and is accused of the murder of his chief rival for her hand. Eventually he Is proved in- nocent. wins the heart Of the only other girl in the story and dramati- cally declares that he will prove to her that he really can he man.
 Arthur Campbell is interesting as young Gage. Ethel Ridgeway could improve her Interpretation of her character by putting more emotion into it when her lines call for strength. When she declares that she will save Gage from himself she has all the fire of a young lady an- nouncing that she Is on her way to a meadow to pick buttercups.

pen >to certain roads which crosa what would be the new Vatican territory and cannot be dispensed with. such as the Aurelia road. the Roman way leading to Civita Vec- chia. Pisa and the north of Italy. Another difficulty is represented by the railway from Rome to Viterbo, which also would cross part of the hew Vatican territory. A suggestion has been made that it shall be left as it is. reserving to the Pope, his court and the diplomatic body ac- credited to the Holy Sec. the railway station Of st. Peters.
 Wants Views from U. s.
 It is understood that the pope. be- fore going further in the discussion concerning the solution of the "Ro- man question: desires 10 examine personally the precise impression which the pourparlers between church and state in Italy have pro- duced in. the various countries. Above all. he was anxious to hear what the clergy and faithful of the United States think. sincA America is the third Catholic power ill the world according to population, con- ing immediately after Italy and France, but is the first with regard 10 the funds She supplies 10 the Holy See. Indeed. according to what has leaked out regarding the Vatican finances, her contributions exceed those Of the whole Of Europe. The pontiff was therefore very glad 10 hear on the subject from Monsignor Fumasoni Riondi. apostolic delegate at Washington and some of inc leading American prelates. although it is understood that no foreign in- reference must enter into the soIu- tion of the Roman question which is reserved entirely for the Judgment Of the pope.
 What everybody Is asking now is: When will the understa tanding be sn- nounced and the solution of the Roman question" become. in diplo- matic language. "fait accompli? ?" One of the highest ecclesiastics in Rome, being asked by an American woman his opinion as to the termin- ation of the conflict within the next few weeks. answered: Tt may be next Easter or the following Christ mas. or years hence. No one can tell, Remember that the Catholic church is in no hurry. She waited about three hundred years. until the arrival of Consta ntine, for the cessa- ton of pagan persecution. so she can wait a, few centuries more for the redress due 10 her now. At the same time, the 'Foglio q Ordini' has stated that the Fascista regime has come to stay for at least a hun dred years. There is therefore plenty of time
