A Narrow Reason.
Seattle Times.


 Mildly deprecating the methods that have marked efforts to enforce the dry laws in various parts of the country, Dr. James M. Doran Federal Prohibition Commissioner, calls upon all agents to be more circumspect in their of weapons. As measure of prohibition he announces, in official order, that the prom iscuous fourishing and display of firearms is pro- hibited." The order goes on to say:
 The unwise and unwarranted use of
 firearms by officers in the past has
 caused the bureau considerable embar-
 rassment and resulted in much unfavor-
 able and harmful publicity
 The Times feels that it will not be mis- understood in saying that much of pr. Doran s order is about cold -blooded and cynical any thing that has ever been promulgated by an offi- cer of the Federal Government The fact that such use of firearms has brought bereavement and grief to many seems to be but lightly re- garded. Agents adjured against misconduct not so much for the harm that may be done to others, but merely to spare the bureau from en- barrassment and unfavorable publicity.
 The order itself goes to the point that has perturbed the minds of many sincere supporters of the prohibition law, but eevryone will wish that it might have been based the broader ground of common deceney, rather than on the narrow reason that the bureau must be sheltered from criticism

MEXICO'S LONE EAGLE.

The enthusiastic reception of Capt George H Wilkins and Ben Eelson at the latter's home causes one to recall that the world seems to be alternating between celebrations and mourn ing periods for heroic ayiatoIs People are still mourning the loss of Mexieo's Lone Eagle Emilio Carranza. probably next to Col. Lind bergh had flown more miles alone than any other aviator. It would not be fair to say that he and Col. Lindbergh riyls Rather were they joint possessors of glory. They were per sona friends and much alike The modesty of the dead Carranza and his devotion to his pro- fession was srikingly suggestive of traits of our Lindy It may have been this similarity that attached Americans to Mexico's dead hero in a most remarkable manner.
 Emilio Carranza came to the United States as a token of Mexicos appreciation of the Christmas visit to that country by Col. Lind bergh, and right nobly he performed his task, and then was struck by lightning on his way home and died as bravey he had lived. He did much to demonstrate the similarity of the contrary The result of the visit was that the intriped Mexican was as sincerely and deeply mourned in this country he is in his own.
 Mexicos peace-tme, goodwill hero was only 22 years of age the grand-nephew of a former President of his country He was educated at home on either side of the Rio Grande. His potential value to the cause of better relation, between America and Mexico was unmeasurable

A Real Peace Farley.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Secretary Kellogg has invited twenty-one na- tions to session authorized by a resolution voted at Havana. He and former Secretary Charles E. Hughes will represent the United States and the delegates will convene early in D cember.
 When this important body has assembled there will be effort made to negotiate conven- tio for obligatory arbitration of juridica1 dis putes in the Americas.
 There is something worth while; it suggests practical deaism With Charles Evans Hughes participating it may be expected that the rela- tions between the United States and the South ern republics still further will be improved and advanced, because of his acquaintance with Latin American problems and his high standing with all the nations of Central and South America
 Hughes is to these countries what Morrow is to Mexico. They two Americans who have done more for better understanding with these sovereignties than all the statesmen above or be- low the Rio Grande and the Isthmus in fifty years.
 At this important conference it will be sought to adopt an arbitration treaty which will carry out with reference to this hemisphere the ideals embodied in the movement of Secretary Kellogg to have the United States adopt as many arbi- tratlon and conciliaton pacts possible with the nations of the world, and to obtain in addi- tion general adherence to multilateral treaty Irenouncng war instrument of national policy.
 This is the proper approach; it is infinitely preferable to the weird suggestions of Senator Borah and all the pacfst organizations of ab- surd altruism
 present conference is being called defined the minimum limits which the pan-American nations were ready to accept as a basis of treaty and the task of the present conference will be to seek to enlarge this much as possible So there is hope for the rational abolition | or war so far, at least the Western Hemi sphere is eoncerned; and that should be enough to satisfy the prating pacifsts of America

Pretty Much Alike.
Savannah News. ]

We are all simmering down to pretty much the same sort of folks. There a time when some of us did not think much of the man who could afford to play golf; thought that was an expensive waste of time. It a rich mans game and the poor man did not shine at it unless he came up from caddyhood. But now adays golf is everybody's game. The small towns nave golf courses and the salaried employee in the city talks about his game if it were the most important thing in the world And the city man longer drinks cocktails and fizzes while the rural dweller has to put up with moonshine-they all (those who do) drinking moonshine now. So the cleavages are passing away And that's good thing We are learn ing to like each other because we are learning that we are like each other. We used to think we were irrevocably different. We are learning that our similarities outweigh our differences True, everybody is different from everybody else and some of us, whether Pharisees or not are mildly and privately glad of it. but in so far as classes are concerned the differences are small indeed and getting smaller.

DIGNIFIED CAMPAIGNING.

The New York Herald Tribune perhaps the leading Republican daily newspaper in the coun- try. has blazed the way for a rational political campaign. The day after the nomination at Houston, this stanch Republican journal pub lshed as it's leading editorial fine tribute to Gov. Smith and his sponsor, Franklin D. Roose- velt
 It is worthy of note too, that one of the principal owners of the Herald Tribune is ogden L. Mills who was the Republican nominee fol Governor against Gov. Smith in 1926. The Herald Tribune supported Mir Hoover for the Republican nomination and is still sup porting him for the Presidency, but it had this to say of Gov. Smith and Mr. Roosevelt
 New Workers are entitled to feel doubly proud of the candidacy of Gov ernor Smith, presented at Houston by Franklin Roosevelt. These two dis tngushed of the Empire State have been the dominating figures at Houston, the one absent but potent by reason of his record and personality, the other present and persuasive through eloqeunce of extraordinary nobility and sincerity. As New York news paper tender congratulations to both.
 The larger political issues raised by Governor Smiths candidacy are one thing. The Herald Tribune has strong convictions with respect thereto which it must present to its readers. The per sona success of East Side boy, ad- vancing by sheer force of character and winng personality to his present dom inanee of great party. is a matter for non-partisan cheers and the applause of his entire home town
 Governor Smith was peculiarly for tunate in securing the voice of Mir Roosevelt in his behalf. Four years ago the speech of this nominator was the high spot at Madison Square Gar den It is safe to say that not during the entire campaign will a more moving and effective utterance be made in the Governors behalf than was this brief presentation of his name on behalf of the State of New York.
 MT Roosevelt chose his words with an instinctive good taste and fairness He made no flambogant claims for his candidate and attempted no sweeping in- dictment of his opponents Focusing his speech upon the outstanding ability of his candidate his human appeal, he pre- sented him at his best What he said in this respect unanswerable There can be no denying the Governors rare ability to interest the voter and to pre- sent himself as his champion and friend Through this capacity for leadership he has acieyed his extraordinary pro- gress. For it the Democratic Party names him for the highest office in the land.
 The high quality of Mir Roosevelt's speech bears testimony both to his own fine instincts and to the type of support with which Governor Smith has sur rounded himself Advocating strongly do the candidacy of Mir Hoover for the Presidency, we are glad to praise
