THE NEW YORK ISSUES

Senator Wagner of New York gave a good indication of the "is- sues" that will be made paramount in the New York campaign. The Republicans are pointing the finger of scorn at Tammany Hall. The Democrats counter by pointing ar accusing finger at the national Re- publican administration. Thus both, so far as state polemics are con- cerned, go trifle afield for am- intuition.
 Added to the prohibition issue, that makes three points of contact of more or less importance with the minds of the voters: l. prohibition; ?, Tammany; 3, the national admir- istration
 The New York state issues, if there are any, are comfortably in the background. Perhaps nobody cares.

DAVIS RUBS IT IN

John w. Davis, in an address be- fore the New York Democratic con- vention, uttered truth that is forceful counter against the explan- ations of Republican spellbinders that the depression is world wide" and that the dear grandoldparty is not really responsible for some thing that exists all over the civil ized world except perhaps in France and a few Scandinavian countries
 The Republican party, remarked MT. Davis, had for years coached the people to assume that they must rely upon it for their prosperity. that there could be no prosperity without it, and that there could be no hard times under Republican rule regardless of conditions elsewhere
 This doctrine is returning 10 plague the Republicans. It is being shown up as so much pifflc and there is at least likely to be considerable

HOLDING THE BAG

To the best of our knowledge the American Civil Liberties Union IS not wealthy institution. It has fre- quently projected itself in legal frays to defend folks accused of crime provided the alleged crimes sprang from participation in disputes in- volving issues in which the organi- zaton was interested Thus it came to the defense of the labor leaders, or rather, leaders in the Communist National Textile Workers Union, who were embroiled in the death of | o. s. Aderholt, chief of police in Gastonia, N. c.
 The Civil Liberties Union posted bonds totalling s27,000 for the ap- pearance of the seven men in court for sentence between the time they took appeal, the upholding of the | sentences by the state Supreme court, and their return to the low CT court for acceptance of sentences
 Now the Civil Liberties Union seems to be out of pocket by tidy sum- Some of the convicted had gone to Russia, and for all any body knows are still there; the re- mainder seem to be in hiding, or perhaps have gone to other nation al asylums on the Western Hemi- sphere.
 The question remains: Was all this a put up job on the part of the convicted, or did the Civil Liberties Union allow itself to be hoodwink- ed with its eyes open? Or did it ex- pect no other termination than tine Likelihood it would have to pay out the bond money it posted?
 Perhaps at the last moment it may be possible for the Civil Liberties Union to induce some of the men involved to appear in court. the court order being that the organiza tion shows cause why the bonds should not be forfeited. The Civil Liberties Union still has time to save some of the bond money for it. self, it appears, if it can produce the men promptly.
 One guess, only a guess, is that the men will continue to remain ab- sent Which will cause the Civil Lib critics Union to credit a neat sum to the cost of stepping into the breach to aid the Communists and others, The experience may instigate less readiness to offer such defences next time the opportunity offers.

A NOMINATION, ANYWAY

Only the reasonable certainty that he had no chance left to become the Democratic candidate for Congress from this district could have induc- cd MT. Paonessa to accept the nomination for sheriff of Hartford county. The plan, it is said. is in conformity with the thinking of Democrats in Hartford, who are said to be of sufficient influence to have things quite their own way, The next step will be to nominate MT. Loner- gan for the congressional candidate.
 Or maybe Mir. Paonessa is really convinced there is a better chance of him being elected sheriff than there is for the Democratic nominee

It was satisfactory to read that at least one mob in the South, evil dently bent upon lynching Negro suspect, was denied the excitement of carrying out their intentions by the quick action of the National Guard. The crux of the situation was that the Negro was not even certain of having committed the crime charged, but was merely a [" suspect" It is an amazing exam pie of mob psychology when people who hope to call themselves Chris tians can so far discard all elements of justice as to seek summary pun ishment against mere suspect. The National Guard at least maintained tho elements of civilization in the case.

THE SHOW IN NEBRASKA

Nebraska, possessing Senator Nor ris, can be relied upon to put on quite an interesting political show during campaign year. In 1928, it will be remembered, Senator Nor ris, who is nominally a Republican, came out for the election of Alfred E. Smith; and that caused quite a furry.
 This year one thing has happen ed after another. First another Norris was put up by the Republi- cans in the primary contest, this to confuse the voters and ditch the more widely known Norris. But the substitute Norris was withdrawn after a court order.
 Now Gilbert Hitchcock, Demo- crat, who is running for the Senate, wants to know whether the national Democrats are going to support him or Mir. Norris, he having heard that the Democrats elsewhere would just as lief see Mr Norris elected as a Democrat, seeing that he us- ually votes on the Democratic side Naturally it was necessary to in form MT. Hitcchock that the nation al Democratic organization is whole- heartedly behind his candidacy. There was nothing else to do in the fom Mir. Hitchcock that the nation al Democratic organization is in favor of backing all Democratic candidates.
 The assurance cost only the price of telegram. What good it will do Mr. Hitchcock is immaterial. There remain plenty of Democratic lead- CTS who think MT. Norris would be good pseudo Republican to have in the Senate to assist the Demo- crats in anything they might wish to do.

The newspapers of this country are jealous of the integrity of their news columns. They spend large sums of money to get news to print and they want it correct. If the w. c. T. L. makes a statement, and the papers get hold Of it, it ln- variably receives as fair treatment in the news columns as a statement by an equally prominent wet organiza- tion, if there are any. Even dry speakers who attack the press Tn rather unbridled language are fre- quently reported in full. Newspapers in no other country will give such prominence to vitriolic attacks upon their integrity, fairness and honesty as hapens to be the rule in the United States.
 The fundamental fact underlying the fault-finding is that newspapers in this country as a whole are in too strong and independent position to be bulldozed out of the honesty and fairness they seek to possess. Many an individual or group with an axe to grind has found that out.

There is little probability indeed that a newspaper would be an ad- vocate of prohibition modification when published in preponderating- ly prohibition territory. In such a case, with the owners wet and the public dry, it would be distinctly bad business to be a vehement anti prohibition advocate on the editorial page. The editor simply would re- frain from discussing the issue at all rather than take side opposed to the beliefs of himself and his colleagues merely to please his pub lie. And what he did happen 10 say would be with guarded words.
 The reason there is such a pre- ponderance of modification journals in the country is because the news papers and their editors are re- flectlng a large part or the pubnc, and happen to think the same way themselves. These editorially wet" newspapers have many dry readers. who if they are fair will be satisfied if the newspapers print news from both sides in their news columns. The dry readers of course skip" the wet editorials if they are sufficient ly irritated at their appearance. Instead of traducing the nations press under such circumstances. fanatical drys should endeavor to be fair. We are sure such motives would be reciprocated even on the editorial pages of the alleged wet newspapers.

THE WET PRESS"

Newspaper editors are becoming somewhat accustomed to hearing or reading of their publications being referred to as the wet press" At first, perhaps, there was certain opprobrium connected with the designation; and perhaps, too, ye editors grew angry. Their sense of humor, however, inevitably got the better of them and today, whenever they read of some church dignitary terming most of the country's jour nals as wet and unfair" addicted to stressing news calculated to stir up mitigation against the prohibition law, and playing the devil in their news and editorial columns alike, they merely stretch their legs and let a chuckle function where a frown used to grow.
 We know of no newspapers which refuse to print a dry argument in their news columns. Some of the Retropolitan newspapers which have the reputation of being strongly prohibition in their editorial columns frequently-ycs, very frequently-lean backward in order 10 carry an attack upon the vets and the so-called wet news papers in their news columns. This is their idea of fairness; and there is no one but a fanatic who would claim they are not giving both sides the square deal.
 It is said of the alleged wet news papers that they play up killings by dry agents "out of all proportion to their importance" but when a policeman or dry agent is killed by desperate bootlegger, or an innocent citizen is killed by policeman white shooting with bad aim at fleeing criminal, or when a criminal shoots a policeman, such news is not play cd up.
 This charge is manifestly false. When individuals who carp about unfair wet newspapers" make such a charge they know they are fooling their public. Wet newspapers in unison condemned the gang killing of a dry agent in New Jersey re- gently.

legends which have been handed

No one knows what really causes
earthquakes, though it is believed
that some distance below the earth's
hard crust there is plastic layer
in which the tides, just like those
of the sea, are set up by the at
traction of the sun and moon. The
crust is strained by these tides, and
one day a part of it, deep down,
gives way. Then the surface trem-
bles and widespread havoc occurs

In old Virginia there were many
kinds of wild roses. AS soon as
tobacco and cotton plantations were
established and houses were built
and there was time for beauty, a
rose garden was planned, laid out
and planted with native roses and
the fashionable roses of the Seven

over from the old country.
These rose gardens are an I'M

of every Colonial place. They are
very often walled in, and low
