But the stuff that goes between

wear them out with amazing speed.
To our knowledge the filling between

has BEEN put down on numerous
occasions and each time it was
thought that it would last longer
than any of its forerunners. Disap-
pointment on each occasion has
been keen, however, when it was

of the streets where no opportunity

THE FIN OF THE SUPER SHIP

Public education in connection
with dirigibles has taken a long step
forward the past few days and we
now know that the fins of these air
monsters are quite important. Be
cause the Graf Zeppelin suffered a
little accident to one of its fins it's
power to buck head winds was con.
siderably reduced and instead OF
heading straight for Lakehurst after
reaching the vicinity of the Bermu-
das it had to cruise around to avoid
what otherwise would have been
weather offering little trouble. Con-
sequently the supership did not ar
rive on schedule time.
The trip has been a disappoint-
ment to the builders from one
standpoint. With the eyes of the
world upon it the hope was to make
the trip to Lakehurst in fast time;
instead detour was necessary soon
after it started: and another de-
tour on this side of the ocean. But
the fact that the ship has cruising
ability of 5000 miles stands it in
good stead. In spite of the detours
and the damaged fin there was no
fear that anything more serious
would happen. That in itself is
gratifying.
An accident in the air does not
necessarily spell disaster. This MORN
ing the ship was hundred or SO
miles east of Cape Hatteras-the
graveyard of the Atlantic"-and
was battling head winds and storms.
That was no airplane weather, sure
ly; but hope remained firm somehow
that the vessel would reach its port
safely.

SMITH ON THE TARIFF

The Louisville speech of Governor
Smith marks a notable and historic
breaking with the past. Until this
time no Democratic candidate for
the presidency has uttered similar
views For generations the tariff was
considered one of the chief points Of
difference between Republican and
Democratic doctrine. The difference
now Is one of detail rather than Of
principle.
The nine points on the tariff pro-
jected by Governor Smith will ap-
peal to all except those who believe
in free trade. If there are any such
left they have no political home.
The change in the Democratic
viewpoint was presaged from the
time industry began to get hold In
the South on large scale. This turn
ed influential parts of the South into
protectionists. Then came an in
creased hold OF business men in the
councils of the party, climaxed by
the acceptance of John J. Raskob as
campaign manager. Governor Smith
himself has never been man to
upset apple carts, and his desire to
continue the status quo of industry
and prosperity is not surprising to
anyone knowing his record as an
executive. The Democratic platform
adopted at Houston was eminently
reassuring upon the tariff; Mr..
Smiths acceptance speech was even
more reassuring. Now we have an
entire speech devoted to the tariff
that ID not only reassuring, but con-
vincing.
There need be no error regarding
Mr.. Smiths tariff promises. They are
short and easy to understand when
given in substance: He favors no
general revision: no tariff bill of the
past will be taken as a model for
study; If there are revisions they will
be only in individual schedules. and
then only after a thorough investi-
cation by an impartial tariff COM
mission and congressional hear
ing.
Under such plan the tariff is not
only out Of politics but is made a
scientific and impartial study, with
the likelihood that every industry
interested in the maintenance of
adequate tariff schedules will receive
all the protection. that is necessary.
Workmen. too, will be protected
and the public will have nothing 10
fear.
With such a changed attitude in
Democratic principles there Is
scarcely any necessity any longer to
disc uss the tariff during the CAM
paign. Both sides are right about it
and neither can be wrong.

SMITH AND PROHIBITION

1t u claimed by proponents OF tho
grand old party that Mr.. Smith II
elected couldn't do thing about
prohibitions; that it would require
two-thirds of the states to change
the 18th amendment and that this
is impossible in view of the fact that
there are more than that number of
ostensibly dry states.
Which IL quite right. except
there 10 the Volstead enforcement
law. That does not require two
thirds of the legislatures. but merely
needs Congressional action to
achieve modification.
And there are a score OF other
ways in which Mr.. Smiths election
would be a definite menace to pro-
hibition as We have it, according to
the chaste Columns of recent issue
of the w. C. T. L. organ. Perhaps
some of these reasons are imaginary,
but not all of them.

BINGHAM IN THE CAMPAIGN


Our Senator Bingham was heard
from the other day and the contri-
button to campaign literature he
made was that Al Smiths regimes as
governor OF New York have been
'wasteful." The senator reasons,
therefore, that II elected President
he also would be wasteful.
But the figures Of alleged waste
fulness are susceptible to two angles
of defense. In the first place, they
were used by Ogden Mills In his
gubernatorial campaign in 1926 and
resulted in his defeat. Governor
Smith merely asked Mr.. Mills what
particular appropriations he would
reduce and Mr.. Mills hasn't answer
ed to this day.
The second angle of defense is
that Governor Smith, like other gov
errors, did not originate appropri-
ations, but these originated in the
Legislature. The New York legisla-
ture has always been Republican.
Governor Smith merely signed the
bills.
And that's that.

able each reader to decide for him.
self whether the man makes the
hat popular or the hat makes the
man.
/ am inclined to believe that the
latter Is true, drawing my conclu-
sions from the following reasoning:
(a) Any perculiar type OF hat In
sures good digestion.
90 Good digestion means health
and energy.
(c) Health and energy bring sue
cess.
Let us examine the premise / have
taken that a peculiar type of hat
insures good digestion.
The average man eats at least
once a day in restaurant and the
average restaurant has an average
of three hats stolen or taken by
mistake each day.
The average man knows this. and
during the entire time consumed in
eating. is obliged to check up every
so often and see whether his hat ia
still where he left it. This fear
and apprehensiveness interfer es
with the process of digestion. and,
regardless of whether he knows 1t or
not, it Is HAT-WATCH1NG which
causes % per cent of all the stom-
ach trouble in men today.
Now let us take the man with a
Brown Derby.
Subconsciously he feels his hat is
safe. No one wants Brown Derby
with the exception of the man who
wears one, AMI if he has one he
surely doesn't want another. One
Brown Derby is enough for any
body.
Ti4s sense of Security during
mcaltime guarantees Poise and Re-
taxation to the owner, and conse-
quently the good digestion. health
and energy which / have already
outlined.
AS Final Proof that the hat
makes the man, and not vice versa,
l point to Governor AL Smith. Al
one time he was absolutely UNI
| known. Today he is running fol
| President of the United States.
| He has always worn Brown
Derby. w ch fact never increased

STRAW VOTES

In 1924 29,ooo,0Oo Americans
voted. In 1928 the total is expected
to be around 100000. What
chance has straw vote this year?
Three such votes have been taken
or are under way. All three give
Texas to Mr.. Hoover. The operators
of one OF the straw votes are said to
admit that they don't believe the
straw returns.
According to all the straw votes
the South is badly broken up po-
itically. 1t looks from the straw
votes that Mr.. Smith will be lucky
if he carries four of the southern
states. But this is only from the
straw vote returns. DR.. Work is not
banking upon them in the least.
No straw votes can be regarded a.
effective unless they reach all classes
of citizens. 1t is doubtful whether
any of them do that. 1t is next to
impossible. 1t is true that in 1924
the straw votes were approximately
correct. But that was year that il
didn't even require a straw vote to
indicate what would happen. The
election OF 1924 was completely set
tied after the Madison Square
Garden dog fight.
Straw votes are taken at consid-
cradle expense. The money is credit
ed advertising promotion That is all
they are. Those who take them are
more interested in the free publicity
they get out of them than in the
returns.
