I experimented to find just what I could eat best. soon determiu- ed to play with everything. but to eat nothing except the roast and game courses. The trouble with average man Is that he cannot restrain his appetite. But public banquet. if eaten with thought and care, is no more of strain than a dinner at home.
 Mr. Depew was born at Peeks- kill. E Y. April g. 1884. His ancestors on the paternal side were French Hagenots who came to Am erica in the 17th century. and on the maternal side he was descend ed from Roger sherman. a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The house where he was born had been the Depew homestead for more than 200 years.
 The father, in addition to being merchant and farmer. also was pioneer in river transportation between Peekskill and New York City. The mother. a woman of highly developed literary tastes. was chiefly responsible for the thoroughness of her sons educa- tion. He obtained his prelimin- ary training in Peekskill Academy and in 1852 entered Yale, from which he graduated four years lat CT as barrister,
 Returning to the farm at the age of g, he clashed with his father over politics and subsequent | ly abandoned the latter's Democrat ic faith to take local stumps in favor of Fremont and his Free Soil campaign. After the election he began practicing law, and earned ! his first fee-S1.75 for an opin. l ion that required several days to prepare-just about the time Lin coin was first mentioned for the presidency. He immediately en- tered the campaign on behalf of the latter and gained considerable fame as a political orator.
 Eight years later he had been mentioned and confirmed for the post of American Minister to Japan. Previous to this he had been Sec retary of New York State and had
 hcld several other publ, offices. although he declined more pol;ti- cal appointment perhaps than any other young man in the country. Just as Depew was preparing to leave for Japan, Commod Van dcrbilt acquired the New York to Harlem railroad-12s miles of Junk. as he afterwards described q. He called upon penew and oiiered hi1. the position of gener- al counsel at a salary cf 5I.Sbo 6 year. but the young lawyer promptly informed the fnancieI that he was to receive a much higher salary as Minister to Japan Its up to you" young man. Van derbilt replied. Railroads are the career for young man. There

FARM BY THE BUDGET

The farming industry of the Unit
ed States loses many hundred mill
lions Of dollars each year because
production is overexpanded along
some lines and underexpanded along
others. These ups and downs in ag-
ricultural production are partly the
result of changes made by farmers in
acreages of crops and numbers of
livestock. Changes of this kind are
necessary and unavoidable, but too
often they are overdone in some lines
and underdone in others. Decisions
as to these changes are often based
upon the prices at or Immediately
before planting or breeding time and
upon the crop yields and livestock
production of the preceding season.
The application of the budget meth
cd used in other business undertake
ings, is suggested by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
one way for farmers who act indie
pendently to meet the situation. A
farm budget is a carefully worked
out plan based on estimates as to
how well particular combination of
crops, or combination Of crops and
livestock will pay. These estimates
are based upon available information
as to what the prices and crop and
livestock production are likely to be
during the year or period OF years
just ahead. Although prices. crop
yields, and livestock production can
not be forecast exactly, they can be
foretold within broad enough limits
to make it profitable to organize
carefully and to focus attention upon
the best available information relat-
ing to them. A method OF doing
this is outlined in Farmers Bulletin
1564-F which may be obtained from
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Washington. d. c. There
is no charge.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE RE-
PLIES TO LIQUOR ORGANI-
ZATTON

Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Repub-
lican nominee for U. s. Senator, has
made the following reply to the
whiskey organization that questioned
him on his stand relative to prohibit
ton:
81 have your letter of the 25th in
slant with reference to my views on
the prohibition question. With all
courtesy, submit that any statement
which l make on this subject should
be addressed to the general public,
rather than to your organization
(Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment
my reasons are twofold. In the
first place, your organization profes
ses interest only in the abandonment
of prohibition laws, and your commit
tee judges men and measures only
by the test of agreement with your
views. In the second place, there
exists, more than a suspicion that
your executive committee, which you
say wishes to pass upon this matter,
being almost exclusively of the op
position party-at least five of whom
are on the very important finance
committee appointed to raise funds
for the election Of my opponent in
this campaign-are prejudiced in
favor of the Presidential and Sena-
torial candidates OF the extreme wet
wing Of their party.
II am opposed to the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. am op-
posed to the return of the open
saloon.
IT believe in the enforcement of
all laws as long as they remain on
the statute books. am against
any notifications of the liquor laws
which are calculated to nullify the
Constitution. / favor any additional
proper measures to promote respect
for law and to insure the public
peace and safety

BRUCE THE INTELLECTUAL

The Baltimore Sun, in a labored
effort, recently tried to convince its
readers that William Cabell Bruce is
a man of unusual intellectual ability.
Naturally the Sun thinks that every
body with one-tracked mind, seeing
nothing but booze, is an intellectual.
We can hardly understand how Mr..
Bruce, who has the reputation of be-
ing man of great learning, can
make as many stupendous blunders
as he has made.
If being intellectual means to
make himself nuisance to his par
ty, his running mates and everybody
with whom he comes in contact,
Bruce fills the bill. If being able to
make more political plumbers than
any man who ever ran for public Of
fee in Maryland is an intellectual, he
measures up. II quoting things that
never happened and stopping to
sandering people who do not agree
with him and getting caught every
time is AN intellectual, Mr.. Bruce
will pass. II being able to talk on
indefinitely to an empty Senate
chamber and saying nothing for
hours is an intellectual, Mr.. Bruce
takes first place.
We can hardly understand why
the Sun would undertake to point
out Mr.. Bruce as man superior to
thousands of other citizens in the
state. Mr.. Bruce lacks judgment,
poise, temperament and ability to
grasp public opinions as much as any
man who has crept into public life.
He seems to think there is only one
thing in which people are interested,
and that one thing is liquor. We
believe that the people of Maryland
are tired of Bruce and that they are
as tired of him as the leaders Of his
own party. We hear on every hand
of large numbers of courageous,
thinking Democrats who say they
will not vote for Bruce. Even his
friends apologize for him. Why re-
elect man to the United States
Senate with the record made by
Bruce ?-American Issue.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1928

The discovery of America on Octo-
Der IL, 1892, is celebrated today,
the day being set aside as a legal
holiday. The story of Columbus is
of brave pioneer, who. believed in
his theory that the world was round
and was ready to put forth effort and
make sacrifice to prove the conten-
ton.
Little honor was paid to Columbus
during his lifetime; he was jeered
and thought crazy; his path was be-
set with difficulties and dismay, his
accomplishments disbelieved, his
theories discounted. Yet today his
name in held in reverence the world
over.
In the days of Columbus the way
from Europe to America was beset
with perils, both real and imaginary,
and the sailors started out with SUI
persitious fear and trembling. To-
day with the speedy ocean steam
ship the span is not great, and with
the airplane it is only hours.
Now we do not fear the ledge OF
the world" science and improved
methods Of transportation have de-
stroyed the bugaboos Of the past;
now man may talk in one continent
and by radio, be heard across the
seas; distance has been demolished
travel has become a pleasure in
stead of a hazardous undertaking.
Yet we. still cannot even glimpse the
mystery Of life, the Divine Purpose
OF it all-and probably never Shall.
We know more and more about our
selves but have no more knowledge
than in the past OF the working of
Providence. ].

PEACE VERSUS DESTRUCTION

I was at North Carolina Yearly
Meeting in Guilford when the report
was made by those two young men
who had taken a peace caravan
through part of the State. talk
ed with them personally, I heard
others talking about their work
good, fine; everyone. who spoke of it
said. One comment which has stay
ed longest in my mind was to the eff
feet that in speaking, these young
representatives had used persistent
ly the constructive side of peace, as
one man expressed it, Their word
was optimistic" They didut use
that blood and thunder, ruin OF civil
lization plea have heard so often.
They talked tax dollar and its divi-
sion into eighty-three cents for war
and its obligations, and seventeen
cents for all other government ex-
penses-things like that. l thought
it fine"
And agree with him. / knew
the young men had done a good
work. also have been very sure
for some time that it is the construc-
tive side of peace in which the coun-
try is most interested.
Yet recently certain manifesto
tions of war and possible new hor-
rors are so dreadful that they have
been dwelt upon in the press, especi-
ally that of England, and especially,
also, by the Manchester Guardian.
A short while ago England staged
air manouvers over London. Eng
land wanted to show, or find out,
what could be depended upon i'm
another war cataclysm to prevent
such horrors as the country had
known from air bombing in the
Great War. The Guardian points
out that these manouvers showed
that protection against such dangers
was possible in only a. slight degree.
The air manouvers," it says, "have
done good and necessary work, for
they have begun to demonstrate
what the despairing arguments ann
AVG y y''.'s 80 fO0cOAAn6 ~ tnobo INV
know what war is, and see what it
will be, failed to demonstrate"
LET anyone imagine what Albert
Square would look like IL 1t were hit
by only one of the bombs that would
be used in the war of the future.
Albert Square would be hugh pit,
by desolation Of wreck
ed machinery, Uttered with torn and
shattered bodies. Then let him i'm
agine what London would look like
if it were hit by a hundred--no i'm
possible figure-of such bombs, and
let him try and visualize the ruin and
the carnage and to hear the scream
ing of wounded human beings"
"To make another war impossible
is the first duty of every Govern
ment, and should be test by which
every Government must stand or
fall. The abolition OF war should
dominate all foreign policy and
should be the supreme issue in every
election"

VACATION IN MEXICO
By Mildred Scott olmstead

BY Mildred Scott Olmstead
Why on earth do you go to Mexi-
co? And in summer! 1t wouldn't
take you much longer to go to
Europe! This was the comment.
spoken or implied, of nearly every
one to whom / announced my inten-
ton of accepting DR.. Herbert Her
rings invitation to join his study
group in Mexico City which is now
part of the historic University OF
Mexico.
At present, the comments of my
acquaintance are characteristic of
our general American ignorance
about Mexico. Travel means to
them going to Europe. Mexico is in
their minds, a land of heat, of ban
dts, and of oil weyys. Naturally
we didn't feel that way about it or
my husband and should not have
gone but we did have several sur
prises.
First, the scenery. AS the train
travelled over the desert with its
primitive valleys, its giant cacti, its
picturesque people, and climbed up
and up among its cubistic mountains,
kept saying why haven't ever
heard about this? Why don't art
lists flock here instead of to Brittany
or Switzerland or Italy?
Second, the people. had ex-
pected them to be antagonists, fiery,

ready with all my most ingratiating
manners and retriving graces. In
stead I found the people of all social
classes kindly, gentle, responsive.
hospitable and with sense of hui
NOR. When our car broke down,
when we were caught in the rain,
when the bus had to be pushed up
hill, when the train was over-crowd-
ed, when some one was hurt, they
came to the rescue in friendly,
helpful way. Always they answer
ed our innumerable questions cheer
fully.
The women and children wrapped
in their somber "rebosos' (the In
dams loved bright colors but were
forbidden by the Spaniards to wear
them) carrying their waterjugs or
their baskets of fruit suggest the
Holy Land.
In general the people seem unbe-
lievably poor. They live in oneroom
mud floored houses, often without
furniture other than tiny stools and
straw mats. A light is kept burning
constantly before sacred picture
cross in one corner Cooking is
done out of doors in small metal or
puttery tripods. Food is highly
seasoned and monotonous. In fact,
insufficient food is supposed to be
the cause of the widespread drink
ing.
A third thing that surprised me
was the consciousness of antiquity
that fiavors the country. Mexico is
part of the new world, yet il seems
as old as Egypt without its pyramids,
its relics of ancient art and customs,
its layers of different civilizations
and races, its longings and its ruins,

us seem garishly new and crude.
OF course, no opinions based on so
short sojourn in foreign country
are worth taking seriously but got
the feeling that the country is also
very young and alive-young with
the youth of new Turkey, young
India, Nationalist China. In educa-
ton and art they are bounding ahead
marvelously. In almost every field
there is realization of their prob
lens and zeal for solving them that
is infectious. Here is country in
the Making! What joy to take
some small part in helping it for
ward!

t Il
Prohibition should never have
been a partisan, political issue in
this campaign. Every effort was
made by the .prohibitionists of the
United States to prevent such mis-
fortune. 1t is today a partisan po-
litical issue because Gov. AL Smith
of New York in defiance Of his party
in contempt of the dry Democrats OF
the South and West, end in hostility
to the Christian churches which have
declared that 1.-The liquor traffic can
never be legalized without sin, I"
forced this issue into the campaign.
The possibility Of this folly and
offense against Christian sentiment
was foreseen. Thirty-two temper
ance organizations issued solemn
warning. Leaders Of the church
protested and strove to avert the ca
lamity. The Democratic Convention
recorded its conviction that the party
should stand for law enforcement.
but refrain from an expression OF
opinion as to the policy.
Gov. Smith, and he alone, rejected
all warnings, spurned the advice OF
all but his wet advisers and demand
ed that prohibition be made the issue
Of the campaign. He appointed a
director of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment as man.
ager Of his campaign. That director
insulted the stwo-thrids dry majority
of the Democratic party by declaring
prohibited to be a "damnable affiic-
tion."
And now Gov. Smith is making a
similar monumental mistake. He
protests against ''bigotry," and Sin
tolerance" but he allows his follow
ers to impugn the sincerity of distin-
guished Protestant churchmen; we
hear of political parsons" and 1.-The
church in politics." The naivete of
a candidate who will wrench from
the church moral issue, toss it into
the political ring and then deny the
founding.
Does Gov. Smith realize that his
proposition to put the state govern
ments into the business of selling in
toxicating liquors is obnoxious to
the moral and religious sense of mil
lions of Christian people? He viii
readily understand that the govern
ment should not engage in the bust
ness Of prostitution and yet to un-
counted thousands of Americans, the
thought of government completely in
the liquor traffic is quite as horrible.
