tNew York World)
 William McAndrew. Superintendent of Sehpols for Chicago and notorious agent of George III. is now out his contract having expired His sinister influence having thus come to an end, we can expect Big Bill" to go about the busi- ness of creumgenting the accursed British red coats in earnest Of course the danger spot is ir Canada where the British flag still waved the last time we looked at the map. What could be easier for those tricky Canadians led by British officers than to embark in ships some dark night sail down Lake Michigan and capture Chi cago? Nothing could be easier. It is a horrible possibility that faces Chieagoans day and night, and no doubt accounts for the fact thats many of them have provided themselves with machine guns
 We'll then, we may confidently expect that Big Bill' will surround Chicago with forts, manned by Minute Boys ready to shoot at the zero hour These Minute Boys will be similar in at least one respect to the Minute Men of our town Revolution. They, too, have had great deal of practice with their weapons-if not shooting squirrels then at least shooting other Minute Boys-so that when they begin to pick off redcoats we shall have the pleasant spectacle of history repeating itself in the most approved manner.
 Also Chicago needs a navy. Also an es- nionage system for the foe at door is all ready whispering around that the Liberty Bell was not cracked on July i. 1776 and heaven knows what he will be up to next Also draft board Also a citizens training camp, to be mustered in for six weeks every summer. Then ladies and gentlemen, when the drums begin to beat and the horns begin to blow can be sure that Chicago at least will be safe!

Hail, and Farewell!
lCincinnati Enquirer )

Ernestine Schumann Heink endearingly known in Cincinnati-a few nights ago sang her yaledictory at the great Carnegie Hall in New York City It was an occasion filled with emo lions of tender and touching "reminiscences, The great cantatrice-the alluring singer with the golden contralto voice-sang from heart rich in the memories of fifty years of service to the public She passes the other-soul of modern opera still vibrant with power, still redolent with charm, still pulsing with human love and sympathy
 Schumann-Heink at sxty-six was as dear to the stirred audience which listened to her in Carnegie Hall as she to those who heard her wonderful premiere at the age of sixteen She has realized her golden jubilee. But Schumann- Henk the woman and mother, will long be fond ly remembered by the American people. She was indeed the mother the hausfrau. at one in under standing and sympathy with the multtudes of American wives and mothers whom she claimed as sisters
 Her passing from active service on the metro politan stage is tinged with the touch of sad ness but her brave smile and noble song will live in the memory of this people for many, many years the more so since. when the heart tearing test came, when she realized that some of her sons fighting in the ranks or the Fatherand in the great war while others of her boys followed the lead of the American standard, she pledged her faith allegiance and service to the land of her adoption-to America my Am erica" as she wont to say.

BORAH NOT SATISFIED.

Senator Borah has carried out his promise to query Republican candidates for the Presi- dential nomination regarding their position on Prohibition Enforcement Several days ago dur ing tariff debate, somehow the subject of enforcement was brought into the discussion. Senator Borah asked Senator Copeland Democrat of New York how Governor Smith stood on the Eighteenth Amendment. The New York Senator replied that Governor Smith had not criticised the amendment but had said that the Volstead Act susceptible of modifica- tion insisting however, on it's strict enforce ment long it was kept on the statute books Then asked Senator Borah, "Does he favor leaving it to the States to determine the alcoholic content?" Senator Copeland replied:
 The Governor favors having Con-
 gress determine what is the alcoholic
 content which is the limit of non-in-
 toxcation, and that the State, by an
 affirmative vote of it's citizens, shall
 determine whether il prefers its liquor
 in an alcoholic content above one-half
 of one per cent but not in of
 that which is determined by Congress.
 Senator Copeland denied that Gov Smith would have each State fix the alcoholic content ..Then have msread his message" replied the Idaho Senator. Senator Copeland then said further:
 Of course the Senator has msread
 his message and many other Senators
 citizens and some Democrats. If he is
 elected and I believe he will be, there
 will never be President who
 strictly and unfailingy insisted on law
 enforcement
 Senator Copeland giving his own inter f pretation of Gov. Smiths position revealed in his various public utterances. including hi' latest message to the New York Legislature f There are few if any who will gainsay the sin 4 cerity. of Gov. Smith on law enforcement. H. has openly advocated the right of citizens tt protest against the volstead Act and the Eigh teenth Amendment and upheld their right t' work by peaceful and legal means for thei

Scorns the Purists.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
 Ethical fussers about the purity or English do no good in the world. We, who are just ordinary folks have long felt this way about lt but now word comes from the masters of lan- guage in session at Cincinnati, that we are right and have been right all the time. "Pur- ists be damned." says Prof George M Boiling of Ohio State University tersely, succinctly, Automatically And the other savants attending the convention of the Linguistic Society Of Am erica echo the Boiling sentiment.
 With many highly important things to worry about, what shall we say of writers who spend their energy condemning the spirit in- fntive? At Harvard more than quarter of a century ago Barrett Wendell was in his own forceful way condemnng the Dryasdusts and the Priscillas who insisted that English must ever be garbed in fried pantalets or draped with sweet little lambrequins.

repeal. He has declared in no uncertain terms that he believed such questions as Prohibition should be left for the individual States to handle but at no time has he intimated that be- cause Prohibition is unpopular in New York he would not uphold it's enforcement. Rather on the country he has said that as long as the yolstead Act remains in the statute books of the Federal Government it was the sacred duty of the State of New York to enforce it just as if it part and parcel of the Consti- tuition of that State.
 His whole position on this issue will hardly appeal to Senator Borah Nothing short of com plete acceptance of Federal Prohibition and all it's ragtag and bobtaiI supporters will satisfy him. This was never clearly evidenced than at the conclusion of the colloquy between himself and Senator Copeland which he closed by saying that the organizations speaking for the Eighteenth Amedment seemed satisfied Presi- dent Coolidge intended to enforce it, and added: "But I did not say l had been satisfied
