SOMETHING

Distress Signals from Grif.
 co May Start Inves- tigation

HONOLULU, H. l.. Jan. 25-- Seattle radio officials who as signed Vincent Gellerman as ra- dio operator aboard the steamer Griffco, will probably be involved in a Federal investigation.
 Apparently unwarranted dis tress signals were sent out while the Griffco was enroute to Homo lulu a few days ago, it is thought. The Federal officials are non- commital as to the possible ac- ton against persons responsible for the incident but it is strongly 7 hinted that several will be ques- toned in Seattle. District Attor. ney Wood said: q am convinced there was not justifiable reason for the radio distress message flashed from the Griffco during the first two days of her voyage to Hawaii"
 It is explained that Gellerman is admittedly sickly and nervous, and unfit for sea duty.

Republicans Hold Out
No Hope to Farmer

The distress of American farmers
which Governor Smith has promised
to correct is wildly demonstrated in
figures cited by 3. Clemens Horst in
the Daily Commercial News of San
Francisco. Mr.. Horst shows that the
average daily proceeds on the aver
age American farm is less than Sc.
This is the amount of revenue pro-
duced each day by, the typical 154-
acre farm, with taxes deducted. From
this Sc the farmer must take his own
wages, pay wages to those of his fam.
lily that work on the farm, pay wages
to all hired help, interest on his mort
\ gage and interest on his borrowings
to raise his crop, pay for supplies and
equipment and insurance, take account
Of depreciation of soil and equipment,
and meet a large variety of miscel-
laneous expenses. Whatever is left
out Of the Sc is profit, but there is
nothing left, as the growing. farm debt
and bankruptcies testify.
In spite of such facts as these, and
the many others of similar character
referred to by Governor Smith in
pledging himself to the farmers cause,
Herbert Hoover boasts about Repub-
lican rule. When MI. Hoover talks
about prosperity he seems to leave the
farmer out.

Arkansas Not for Smith

Arkansas is safe for Hoover, Col.
John @. Tilson of the Republican Ma
tional committee was assured by for
mer State Senator j. a.. Keel, a vet
eran of sixteen years in the state leg
islature of Arkansas. He called at
the Office Of the head of the speakers
bureau to say that the revolt in Ar
kansas against the Smith-Robinson
ticket would assure the Republican
victory.
"The most astonishing thing in the
political history Of the state is the
disruption in the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis this year." Senator Keel said.
Democrats all over the state inter-
pref the nomina ion of AL Smith as an
attempt to Tammanyize the nation.
1.-THE Democratic leaders of our
state have fallen back on the old argu-
ment of race prejudice and white
rule, but / do not think that it is
going to avail for them. The preach
ers of the state are almost solidly
against Smith,"

Mellon Makes Strong
Appeal for Hoouey

Business is business with Andrew
Mellon and he looks at it unbiased by
politics. According to an editorial
which appeared in the Binghamton
IN. W Press, Mr.. Mellon finds n
cause for worry and the Press finds
that his views are a powerful indorse-
ment of Hoover.
The editorial states, "For legitimate
business purposes, Mr.. Mellon reports,
money is generally available at from
5 to 6 per cent. He believes the out
pouring of gold to Europe, which has
been responsible for the high money
rates of the last year, has been halted.
"There may be no important move
ment of metal back to the United
States in the next year, but the theory
of the federal reserve bankers is that
American trade will be permanently
helped by permitting our gold re-
serves to work for other nations for a
time.
"What is chiefly needed is a con-
tinuance Of the Coolidge stability.
The election of Mr.. Hoover means a
continuation of that policy. There,
fore Mr.. Mellon makes one of the
strongest arguments for Mr.. Hoover
that has yet been made

Recognize Smiths Worth

"Smith Republicans are for the
Democratic candidate because they be-
lieve him to be the more honest and
the more eminently fitted for the high
office of President of the United
States.
Intellectual. leaders are for Smith
because his constructiveness, his
knowledge of the science of govern
ment, his high courage and admir-
able candor are not to be found in
the party they have renowned. Farm
leaders are for Smith because they
believe his promise that he will give
farmers the relief they failed to get
under eight years of Republican adj
ministration. Labor leaders favor him
because during his % years in public
Office he has proved himself to be a
devoted and invaluable friend of the
working man."

7aHeyrand's Fame as
Diplomat Well Won

Madame De Stael, talking to Talley-

pointed coquetterie:
"If Madame Grant and l had the
misfortune simultaneously to fall into

us two would you attempt to save
firstT"
T%alleyrand, old fox, answered smiI-
ingly:
"But, madame, you are a perfect
swimmer"
At dinner Talleyrand' vas nee
asked what was the difference be-
tween a diplomat and a oma of the
world. Instantly he replied:
"If a diplomat says Yes he means
Perhaps if he says Perhaps he
means No; if he says No. he is not
a diplomat. But If a lady says No.
she most likely means Perhaps; If
she says Perhaps she means Yes;
but If she says Yes she is not a
woman of the world."-Kansas City

D OF NATION
o AL SMITH
List Must Be Impressive to
Thoughtful Voter

Every day new names are added Il
the very impressive list of nationally
prominent men and women who have
announced publicly that they will
support Governor Smith.
That list Is not confined to mel
who, like DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
president of Columbia university, hold
that the Hoover policy on prohibition
is Opposed to the principles upon
which our government rests" Though
1t includes many of Americas most
eminent figures of business and
finance, neither is 1t confined to men
of wealth.
1t is a list which includes women
and men alike, learned thinkers and
educators, leaders of farm organiza-
lions, national and international labor
union officials, army and navy officers
of high rank, former Republican office
holders and men who have been prom
inently identified with the prohibition
cause.
The opinions of such men as John
J. Raskob, Doctor Butler, Pierre S.
Dupont, chairman Of General Motors
corporation ; William ii. Woodin, pres
ident of the American Car and Foun-
dry company; August Hecksher, phi
lanthropist; Samuel Rea, former pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad;
Henry Ell. Curran, former Republican
candidate for mayor of New York. and
Brig. Gen. w. D. Potter, will be, and
must be, universally respected.
The conscientious convictions of
such prominent and able women as
Mrs. Caspar Whitney, former first
vice chairman of the National League
of Woman Voters, who was on Her
bert Hoover's committee for Belgium
relief during the war, and Mrs. Mary
Hartman Rumsey, daughter Of the
late e. Fl. Hartman, %financier, and
herself a leader in social, philanthropy
ic and civic affairs, must command
the respectful consideration of those
members Of their sex who have looked,
and who will still look to them for
leadership.
No vicious personal attack can pos
sibly detract from the influence and
character of such men and women as
these; their intelligent capability and
high integrity is an accepted fact.
When they say they are against Hoo
yer because they "hate hypocrisy" or
oppose social debauchery' and "cor-
ruption" and Evasion and govern
ment-made crime" the statement Of
their convictions is not to be disputed.
