Both Sides Appealing to Prejudices.
(New York World ]

(NeW York World)
 The speech which Gov Smith made on Thurs day night in Oklahoma City was not the speech of politician running for office but of a human being wounded and outraged by incredible mal- ice It was not and could not have been a pleas ant speech to hear, for in America ought to have to be made to feel that he must make such speech in his own behalf That is the business of his friends. Among truly civilized men 1t would be the privilege of his opponents; they would rise up in righteous fury and stamp out these reptile agitators who are stnging the Democratic candidate and bringing shame upon the Republicans.
 It sets ones teeth on edge to hear Catholic pleading for decency to Catholics; that plea ex- alted to command, ought to issue from Protes- tants. It is Mr. Hoover above all, it is MT Borah by his tradition, who if they were alive to their full moral responsibility would publicly repudiate and rebuke the seetarian intrigue of Mrs Willie brandt and her kind If they had little sporting blood in them, a little Of that sense by which sportsman refuses to profit by anything which is not in the rules of the game, it would be the Re- publicans and not the Democrats who dealt with the whispering campaign, it would be Mr Hoover and not Gov. Smith who made a speech on re- ligious liberty at Oklahoma City
 Having said that much we are compelled to add at once that while Gov. Smith was protesting in Oklahoma City against the prejudice of which he IS the victim, Mayor Walker and Senator Edwards in Newark engaged in the sorry business or stirring up prejudice against MT Hoover They were pretending to believe for all We Know they may actually believe, that MT Hoovers residence abroad somehow tants his quallhcatlons for the office of President The world wishes to say with all the emphasis at it's command that this appeal to the narrowest and most ignorant and debased type of patriotic prejudice is as contemptible and might under certain circumstances become just as sinister as the appeal to religious prejudice
 rms newspaper declared when the two candi dates were nominated that it would fight merci lessy against Democrats who attempted to pro scrlpe MT. Hoover on agrounds of nationalistic olgotry. This newspaper meant it. So far as we are aware the meeting in Newark on Thurs uay hisnt was the first occasion, apart from leW opllque innuendoes from Senator Reed of Missouri, when Democratic speakers of promin ence at meetings under the auspices of the nartv nave attempted to exploit this prejudice against MI MT n1over They should be made to stop, and we call on MT. Raskob to stop them.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.

Throughout the entire country Fire Proven tion Week is being observed. This week has been designated officially by President Coolidge for educational activities to reduce preventable loss by fire. The second week in October is always chosen as Fire Prevention Week because it marks the anniversary of the great Chicago fire of 1871
 comprehensive program has been arranged for the various communities of the country. Emphasis is laid the fact that most fires can be eliminated and that vast majority of those which do start be controlled with minimum amount of loss if precautionary measures are taken beforehand.
 Last year the total fire loss of the Nation approximately SAYS, 900 900 as compared with $560,000,000 in 1926 and thus far this year there has been further decrease as compared with the corresponding period of 1927. The National Fire Waste Council and the Insurance Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. which are jointly conducting tion-wide fire prevention program, believe that through continued coordinaed effort further progress can be made. Americas fire losses are still far in of those sustained by European countries and a let-up in activity at this time would undoubtedly make the margin of difference even greater. In a statement concerning the activities to be carried during Fire Proven tion Week, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States says:
 Through the observance of Fire Pre-
 yention Week, every community has
 unusual opportunity to benefit itself
 and the country whole. If the fire
 waste of the country is to be further
 reduced each community must make it's
 contribution as the total losses of the
 Nation the aggregate of losses sus-
 tained in every city, town and village in
 the entire country
 There is no selfish interts in the
 fire prevention movement. It's goal is
 the conservation of life and property
 from needless destruction. The program
 for the coming week can be made high
 ly successful if every man. woman and
 child will but follow the simple sug-
 gestions which will be emphasized

GEORGE BEBAN.

The death of George BeDan iast Friday term mated the career of one of Americas really great actors He was born in San Francisco whence have hailed so many of those who have achieved glory on the stage and contributed to the pleas ure of living in America He began his stage career at eight years of age, singing in Reed and Emersons minstres, and won National re nown as young starring in An American ldeal.' From this he joined Weber and Fields and then starred again with Marie Cahill in the Sign of the Rose" which was on the road for six years and was played in many of the finest theatres of the country Then he went into pictures and left films that will live long "The Sign of the Rose" adapted for the screen and proved as popular the original His "One More American" An Alien" "Pasquale and His Sweetheart" "One Man in Million" "The Greatest Love of AL" and ether pictures in which he played the leading role added to his fame
 Beban was one of the most conscientious of actors In his productions, both in speaking and silent drama, he insisted upon authenticity in every detail He overlooked nothing t h a would add truth understanding
 Few have contributed more richly to the American stage and than did George Beeban.

SMITH VS. WADSWORTH.

Gov. Smiths proposal is that States should determine for themselves whether or not they want the drastic Volstead Act as it now is in force within their own boundaries so long as the Eighteenth Amendment in it's present form, is in the Constitution and if they want it. it should have Federal enforcement behind it. His ultimate plan is to amend the Eighteenth Amendment but until that is done he would have the Vol stead Act modified that it would provide a scientific and truthful definition of intoxicating liquor, and permit any State 1o fix the limit of alcoholic content as far as that State is con cerned provided it be not greater than the maxi mum limit fixed by Congress. The plan is offered as modification of vexatious situation pend ing change in the Constitution
 Former Senator Wadsworth believes that Con gress ought immediately to repeal the yolstead Act. This is also the belief of Clarence Darrow and others. That would allow State to pass and enforce at her own expense any Prohibition

law that she might have or might enact under the Eighteenth Amendment
 The late President Wilson thought the Fed eral Government ought to prevent the importation of liquor or it's entrance to the country by illegitimate means and to prevent interstate traffic in it, leaving individual State to handle the question insofar as it concerns that State He declared that he had eminent legal advice that it could be done that way without violating the Eighteenth Amendment in letter or spirit
