ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Before
an immense throng which gathered
to hear his first pronouncement on
the issues of the Presidential cam
paign Governor Alfred E. Smith ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination
for President here tonight in an ad-
dress which was as progressive in
character as it was courageous in
its terms.
Governor Smith pledged himself
and his party to the restoration OF
honesty in government: to the pro
motion of real prosperity for the
/ whole people through actual rather
than fancied economies and reor-
ganization in government and the
enactment of sound tariff legisla-
tion; to the establishment of for
eign policy opposed to unwarranted
Intervention in Latin American
countries and for the outlawry OF
war, and to the stamping out OF
corruption in prohibition enforce
ment.
The Democratic candidate placed
himself squarely on record fol. farm
relief and promised to call together.
the best informed minds among
farmers, business men and econo-
mists Immediately following the
election to devise a practicable
plan for the control of surplus crops
for submission to Congress at the
beginning of his administration.
Upon the steps of this Capitol,
where twenty-five years ago first
came into the service of the state, l.
receive my party's summons to lead
it in the nation" said Governor
Smith in accepting his party's call.
"Within this building learned the
principles, the purposes and the
functions of government and to
know that the greatest privilege
that can come to any man is to give
himself to nation which has
reared him and raised him from OBJ
scurity to be a contender for the
highest Office in the gift of its peo-
pie.
with a gratitude too strong for
words and with humble reliance
upon the aid of Divine Providence,
I accept your summons to a wider
= field of activity"
Constructive Government
He sounded the keynote of his
entire address when he said:
Government should be construc-
tive, not destructive; progressive
not reactionary."
Il am entirely unwilling to ac-
cept the old order of things as the
best unless and until become con-
vinced that it cannot be made bet
ter" he continued.
"It is our new world theory that
sEernment exists for the people as
against the old world conception
that the people exist for the gov
ernment," he said.
The candidate reaffirmed his be
lief in the soundness of deliberate
action of an informed electorate.
He referred to the public issues ne
carried to the voters in New YORK
State and added:
"That direct contact with the
people 1 propose to continue In TINS

the conduct Of the nations affalrs'

Canada Loses Brilliant Son to United States
6Western Tribune. Vancouver. B. c)

fWestern Tribune. Vancouver, B. e.
 Empty space or what has been called empty space is really the seat of quite the most im- portant processes going in the whole extent
 of the universe, according to a paper by Prof. Robert A. Millikan and G. Harvey Cameron, read before the National Academy at Baltimore Md. recently
 Scientifically, this is interesting to all who watch the unfolding of investigations into the laws of nature. But for Canadians there is a special interest in the affair. c. Harvey Cameron. whose name is coupled with that of the illustrious Dr. Millikan, first man to measure the eeetron, is Canadian. He is product of the public and high schools of Saskatoon, Sask., and of the University of Saskatchewan, situated in the same city His father, Mr. W. A. Cameron, is principal of one of the high schools of that city lat the present time
 It is gratifying in the extreme that one of Canadas should have gone so far in the world of science for it is not the first time that G Harvey Cameron has gained prominence be- cause of his discoveries. It is also gratifying to know that canvass of the situation would show hundreds of other Canadians who have achieved greatness, in various spheres of human activity But there is one feature about it all that is not gratifying-Most of them have done what G. Harvey Cameron has had to do-they have crossed the border into the United Staes because their own country did not afford them sufficient op- portunities
 These young Canadians were educated in Canada until they became proficient and then the ohited states claimed them. Canada pays the cost, and the United States reaps the benefit And apparently nothing can be done about it. Something can and must be done about it. The reason opportunities lacking in Canada for her sons is the fact that population is not large enough to provide them Obviously we need more settlers. Another thing-Canada buys millions of dollars worth of manufactured goods rom the United States each year. thus providing employment in the United States, for thousands or American workmen, executives, technical ex- perts, and what-not. If Canadians would insist on buying Canadian products, steelng them selves against the allurements of highly -colored advertisements for American goods appearing in the many Yankee publications which flood this country, they would provide work for a great portion of the ex-patriated Canadians now resd- Ing in the United States. Similarly if British columbia people would insist British Columbia products, there would be a great deal more en- pioyment, better market, and considerably more prosperity in this Pacific Province Think it oyeri

More Or Less True

What a woman wants now is to have the television idea applied to the doorbell so when it rings she can see whether it is a eat she's not at home to or a peddler she doesn't want to buy anything from.
 If a man looks like he is wor- rying himself into his grave the explanation probably is he is try- ing to raise two or three children and two or three mortgages.
 The old-fashioned wife who clung to her husband like bad habit now has a daughter whose husband hasn't any stronger grip on her than good habit.
 A man may not be superstitious. but when he sees fire in his wife's eyes he knows it is a sure sign he is in for hot time.
 It isn't optimism but lack of brains that makes a young man think the girl who is her mothers biggest worry and her fathers biggest expense will make him q loving and dutiful wife.
 The only one these days who tackles harder job than the old fashioned girl who married a man to reform him did is the man who marries a new-fashioned girl to reform her.
 Our idea of brute is a hus- band who is so mean he buys his wife warm underwear instead of a fur coat to keep her from freez- ing to death.

Robert Lansing.
New York World l


 Nominally the late Robert Lansing was Secre- tary or State for nearly five of the most mo- mentous years in American foreign relations rom MT. Bryan's resignation in 1915 till his own resignation was demanded early in 1920. But actually he was never head of the State De- partment till President Wilson's prostration in 1913. In fairness to him and his chief this fact must be recognized President Wilson keeping foreign relations firmly in his own hands, ac- cepted much advice from others but from MT Lansing he accepted little but technical aid
 That MT. Lansing restricted to this sub ordinate capacity does not mean that he was not highly useful public servant good in- ternational lawyer, the holder from the Bering Sea arbitration in 1892 of repeated Federal commissions. he made an admirable counselor to the State Department. Before and after he be- came ttular Secretary Mir Wilson relied heavily upon him in those matters of precedent form and legal technieaty which are so important in di- piomacy. Col. House has just said that the coun- try has not yet appreciated the magnitude of his tasks or services, and the tribute was deserved
 It was one of the minor tragedies of the war that his finished International expert who In quieter era would have made an able See retary, was in the end thrust aside as a handjcan to President Wilson's purposes. He had served ne somehow never the vision that Wilson followed and that at least temporarily kindled the eyes of others.
