the public where Gov Smith makes re-
ply to the attacks on his record as As
semblyman. although it seems to make
great deal of difference to the gov

And now along comes william Allen
White, upon whom the Smith support
ers had tackled the label ''retractionist."
with a cablegram from Europe declar-
ing he had retracted none of his
charges. but that he had merely said he
would not press those which linked
Gov. Smiths record with legislation
dealing with the gambler and the har-
lot. The partial withdrawal of the
charges made by Mr.. White before he
left to go to Europe was hailed by the
Smith supporters as run to cover by
the Kansas editor They evidently made
mistake in judging Mr.. White. He
now promises, If necessary. to publish
the photostatic copies of the records
Of the votes on liquor and other legis-
lation.
Gov. Smith. unless there is some sud-
den change in the situation, will be
called upon to defend that record OF his

Evidently Gov Smith is seeking to
differentiate between the Governor of
New York and the Democratic candi-

be one and the same person. it is diff
cult to see how this can be done.
Furthermore. DR.. Straton's charges
would not have been brought against
him at this time had he not been a
candidate for President. The governors
challenge to DR.. Straton was praised
by his supporters as bold political
move. But now, 1t appears 1t had moth

High Cost of Exploration.

Human courage and daring are prime
requisites in the business OF exploring,
but the prepare tons for the Byrd South
Polar expedition indicate that the al
mighty dollar" will play big part. The
cost of the trip is likely to run into
seven figures and the minimum amount
needed in cash and supplies is already
estimated at 1855, 900. with the end not
in sight. Comdr. Byrd's trip to the
North Pole cost the paltry sum OF
$4,000. so the forthcoming explora-
ton takes rank as the most expensive
ever undertaken. The explanation Is
not hard 70 find. Comdr. Byrd has al
vavs stressed the necessity for adequate
preparedness. and in the light OF mod
ern needs adequate preparedness for
almost anything is costly process.
No less interesting than the huge
sums already acquired has been the
variety Of their source. Amounts IN
cash ranging from few TO many
thousands of dollars have been received.
Something of the spirit which prompted
their giving is demonstrated by the
fifteen hundred dollars turned over
bv Miss Amelia Earhart. This
money was received by Lady
Indy" for indorsing a cigarette
She was willing to run the risk OF
criticism of her ethical conduct as
famous person by resorting to a pro-
nounced cornmercialization of her hero

a good cause. And more than na1 OF
the total amount so far contributed mas

f,IrrierS of New York, for instance, en-

Public taste changes rapidly, and
book publishers must be quick to gauge
it. Fiction is naturally the best seller
of all. Yet in recent years there has
been a large and steady demand for
books OF a philosophical and biographi-

biography has been exceptional. Some
OF the best sellers of all have been of
this character during the past five years.

success or failure of work, for there
are still good many people who buy

In these days of serial publication
book publishers find that there Is little
in the simultaneous
printing of text in periodicals and
for there are many readers
who prefer to take their fiction In one

in the report to the New York surro-

Ancient Research.
Dainty little bit of rhyme
In a faded magazine
Echo of an olden time
When the Muse was more serene.
Here's lingering violet
Pressed against guardian leaf;
There's a four-leaf clover set.
Which. perhaps, averted grief.
Though the sweethearts are forgot
Who revive a thought so dear,
Blossoming hovers round each spot;
Love and Moonlight still draw near.
