MR. GARNER ON DEMOCRATIC polio,
New York Worldl.

CNew York World.
The views Of Representative John n. Garner Of
Texas are now of special interest, since il is generally
assumed that on the retirement of Mr.. Garrett IN
March the Texan will succeed to the leadership Of IN.
minority party in the house. In an interview. just
given. he leaves no doubt as TO the conservatism of his
disposition. He lays such special stress on the commit
msnt Of the democratic party to the protective principle
in the tariff as to suggest the possibility Of q tendency
in some quarters to jump over the traces. More than
once he notes that he heard TO criticism Of the tariff
plank in the Houston Convention during the campaign.
Thus he urges an increase in the tariff sin the interest
Of the farmer" BY all means; but does Mr.. Garner
really believe these increases will benefit the farmer:
Perhaps it is enough that the farmer thinks so.
he also urges the adoption. in the short session. Of
republicans wish it. the program can be put through in
a week. This program calls for the creation of a CO.
operative commission with ample funds to help market
the farmers crop, an increase in the tariff rates on
farm products, and a plan to facilitate the improve
msnt Of the inland waterways. Whether all this can be
soundly accom- plished in a week may be doubted. but
Mr.. Garner gives the republicans the right of way.
The general tone Of Mr.. Gamers interview Is wise.
He would have no mers factious opposition; would have
the democrats cooperate in any constructive plan not
involving = party principle; would have il stand forth
as the party Of liberalism. Indeed. it can do no less
unless i; declares a merger with the republicans. II Is
just rs well to bear in mind too that a party Of opposi-
ton to mean anything to the country must stand and
fight for its principles and policies. The country, as
Mr.. Garner says. has rendered a verdict for the republi-
cans gsneally; the people Of districts represented by
democrats rendered a verdict for democratic principles
and gave thei representatives a mandate.

The World and All
FROM A GREAT MAN
By Charles y. Oriscoll

Ny dear Mr.. Driscoll:
Many thanks for your "On Being Wrong" Up
20 the year 1914 there was no room for question in his
tory Or IN the public mind as to which was the first
airplane capable Of sustained free flight, or as to
whose research furnished the foundation Of modern
aviation. But in that year. nj the suggestion Of Glenn
X Curtiss, Walcott placed the remaining parts Of the
original Langley machine in Curtiss's hands for test.
The fundamental changes enumerated in my letter
20 Dr. Abbott had been made in its design before any
test was made. Yet not one OF these changes ever was
reported by the Smithsonian Institution. On the other
hand, the Smithsonian concealed them by many such
statements as. I'm June last. without modification.
successful flights were made at Hsmmondsport. N. ""
and :" When tested the machine rose into the air
and flew, proving that Langley's ideas we're sound and
his construction correct
walcott from year to year pu. out statements IN
Smithsonian publications to the effect that the Langley
machine "recanvsssed and provided with hydroplane
floats" had been tested; that these tests demonstrated
that the Langley machine was the first in the history
Of the world capable II sustained free flight: that its
tests had demonstrated the soundness OF Langlcy's
scientific research; and that the publication Of Lang
ley's work had laid the foundation for modern aviation.
All Of the impressions thus given were absolutely false.
Dr. Abbot's recently published statement does not at
tempt TO correct any Of them.
Sincerely yours, oRNILLE WRIGHT.
f"on Being Wrong was the title Of a recent "Vorld
end AIT item in this column. The paper Of DR.. Abbot.
mentioned by Mr.. Wright. was an effort By the head
q Smithsonian Institution to get Mr.. Wright to bring
IT'S original plane back from an English museum and
place y IN Smithsonian. This Mr.. Wright refuses r.
d. until Smithsonian tells the truth fully about it's f.
iorts To make the world believe that Langley. = former
head IF Smithsonian. invented the airrlaneN.

The Opinion Of a Man Smoker
James Anderson
of New Orleans, La.

Ihave found Pebeco to be an excellent tooth
paste for removing nicotine discoloration
from the teeth. And it has certain other
benefits that are very desirable from a
smokers standpoint.
For instance, I find it keeps my mouth
fresh and clean-tastlng, no matter how much
l smoke. I've tried all sorts of mouth washes
and other tooth pastes but they have only
temporary effect.
1t is very important to business man to
have. clean breath. I depend upon Pebeco
to chase away any disagreeable tobacco odor
that might be present after smoking
am one who annually visits my dentist
for an examination and advice and have
many times been complimented by him upon
the splendid condition of my teeth, the alb
sence of tartar or any discoloration and the
sound, healthy condition of my gums, all of
which / attribute to Pebeco Tooth Paste.
Yours uery truly.

Your Mouth feels
Clean, Cool
Refreshed for hours

The first time you brush your teeth with
Pebeco you taste it's sharp tang. Your whole
mouth feels cleansed-invigorated.
For hours this cooling moisture keeps up.
A special ingredient in Pebeco stimulates
full, normal flow of saliva. This saliva is
alkaline. 1t protects the enamel of the teeth
byneutralizing harmful mouth acids and wash
ing away tobacco stains and food particIes.Y
Pebeco leaves your whole mouth in a
tingling, healthy condition. It keeps teeth
white and sound.

C1RL SMOKERS! You see them every
" where nowadays. Just look around you and
watch how they smoke with sheer enjoyment
Yet smoking can really cheat girl of the very
thing she prizes most highly-her beautiful
white teeth. Of course it doesn't injure them
permanently. Just makes them dull and yellow.
Smoking, too often leaves bad taste in the
mouth-parched throat. And there's nothing
more ruinous to girls loveliness than stale
tobacco breath.
'|What do you men do to preuent this2" girl
smokers are asking.
Thousands of men who smoke constantly,
long ago discovered way to keep teeth stainless
and white. They use the one tooth paste which
was specifically created to correct unhealthy
mouth conditions-Pebeco.
Evening star., 1928-11-14

Every woman realizes that white teeth
and sweet breath are absolute essentials
When started to smoke about a year ago,
I noticed that my teeth began to look
quite cloudy. hated to forego the joy of
smoking and decided to ask my dentist if
he thought it would discolor them per-
manently.
He recommended Pebeco Tooth Paste.
I am delighted to say that my teeth look
better than ever before. My mouth stays
moist and sweet-and feels SO clean, de-
spite lot of smoking
1t took me little time to- get accus-
toned to the sharp, salty tang of Pebeco-
but now I couldn't get along without it.
Sincerely yours,
