Laying aside all personal prejudices, however well justified against that tribe of superior per- sonages known radio announces, 1t does look as though there hope for the American language after all. From Maine to California and from the American Riviera to rearranged Mi agara Falls, Americans have stood up patiently under barrage of English English with their own precious nasal accent unimpared.
 In quarters it has been suspected that radio announcers here and there have been sub sidized literally by the British secret service Once the Oxford accent was brought into the great Am erican home these suspicious souls reasoned Britain could count the return to the fold of their l3 WayWard American colonies with generous interest.
 But this insdious menace has met it's death blow at the hands of one Frank Vizetely, lexi- cographer in chief for the Columbia chain. Vze- telly has ruled, withthe fnality customary among Photographers that been will be pronounced ''bin," and no back talk The beans of Oxford are out, unless they spelled like the esteemed vegetables of that name. And for "tomahtoes D they too are saved from the Anglophiles and be- come "tomaytoes from this date on forever more

Voting for Men, Not Parties.
(New York Times.

Professor John Dewey, continuing his demand for the formation of third party by those op- posed to special interests" thinks that political democracy is doomed otherwise From the potic- lans, as he admits, he is receiving no encourage ment Of those Senators who legislative matters most frequently leave the party enclosures only MT Norris of Nebraska and MT Wheeler of Montana have changed their voting labels on election day In 1924 MT. Wheeler ran third ticket with Senator La Toilette, opposing the Democratic na- tional nominees In 1928 MT. Norris voted for ex- Governor Smith against MT. Hoover Headed con- sistently by Senator Borah, the others all vote the regular ticket
 While not agreeing that there are strong signs of third party against the special interests which control the two historic ones" others who spoke Democrats and Republicans are closer to each other than to their own conservatives This has proved true. occasionally, notably in Wisconsin and Ne4 braska It is to preserve this unofficial union that a proposal has been made to the Nebraska Legis- lature to remove the party circle from the ballot Our WatchTower correspondent at Omaha believes that the plan has chance for success at this session; If not it will be back stronger than ever two years from now Should the proposal carry sort of inchoate but effective third party would exist on election day in Nebraska at least
 Yet opinions vary in contemplation of the same thing that some Nebraska comment finds democracy in as much peril from the weakening of the responsibility of the two major parties as Dr. Dewey does if that responsibility be maintained We are undermining democracy in the fond belief that we are strengthening it. says The Omaha World Herald opposing the abolition of the party emblem on the ballot The purpose of the chanqe of course is to force voters always choose between men rather than among parties. If it is adopted no longer will voter be swayed by an affiliation suggested on the ballot, and persons who don't Know which IS Deomcrat which Republican among the candidates will be no wiser after they have gone into the booth They must make their way through a long list of names and the result will often be mixed government in the State capital
 Ii Nebraska tries out the idea the experiment will be watched with interest by the rest of the country. But between curious observation and emu ation there is wide gulf Present portents are adverse to any general acceptance of the Nebraska plan.

MEDICATION IS GRATIFYING.

While the case against Deputy United States Marshal w E. Feero and MT. Pusich bending, The Empire refrained from commenting upon it. The probable guilt innocence of both was a matter for judicial authorities to determine. The charges of conspiracy against them, filed by Federal Prohibition officers have fallen completely, failing to be sustained even to the extent that the exam- ming magistrate, Judge Charles Sey, could feel justified in detaining them for a grand jury nves- tigation The Prohibition forces had every facility of the Government to aid them in making orima facie case and failed to do The evidence offered of the weakest. It was not only not conclusive of guilt but it did not indicate its probability Marshal Albert White did not overstate the matter when he declared the whole proceeding was an outrage A court of justice has vndicated the accused To liberty loving citizens this will be highly gratifying and to Messrs Feero and Pusich it must with welcome relief It is unfortunate however, that the vndication overtake the original accusation. It will never reach many who saw in the charge of conspiracy another proof of graft caused by the Prohibition law. And there is no legal redress for either of the two men who must suffer from this unwarranted injury.

Kitchen Comments
by WILDA HoYT.

YOU may not care particularly for
L bouilon made from cubes alone
but you will find that a cup Of con-
somme made from the cubes and used
as stock to finish a sauce or gravy adds
greatly to the flavor Of the sauce.
Smartly designed oil cloths already
pinked out, ready to be turned into in
stantaneouS curtains, are being shown
for use at kitchen windows. They come
in dull, silky finish and in amazingly
lovely colors and patterns.
Ever consider havoring the ice cubes
that you intend using in cold bever-
ages? Thus, lemon, orange or pineapple
favored cubes for the cocktail combi-
nations; tea or coffee favored cubes
for those beverages? Might not be a
bad idea to keep on hand few strong
ly favored coffee cubes to cool dads
coffee when he is in hurry to be of
in the morning, but dislikeS to dilute
his hot drink with an overdose Of cream
or plain water.
Save the stems Of mushrooms, scrape
them and slice them finely and saute
them. They will give a delightful flavor
when added to gravies, to creamed
limas, peas, carrots or escalloped egg
plant.

and Rare.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Nancy's stay at the hospital had
delayed the doing of many routine
pieces Of work Usually her Christmas
cakes were made in November. This
year it seemed as if she never could
get at them. Lois promised to come
over with her young daughter Andy
to spend the day. Andy was young
Peters adoring slave and baby. Sue
slept and ate and lived according to
schedule. THANK goodness for the
good start she had at the hospital, "
Nancy always said.
The grocery order had been given
and delivered the day before Lois came.
That same evening Nancy had washed
the raiSiris and currants and dried them
in the warming oven. She was using
sliced citron and fruit peels. Had she
purchased the peel in bulk she would
have warmed 1t in the oven before put
ting it through the chopper or before
slicing it.
Here is her recipe-an old and treas
ured family one: One pound butter,
one pound -four, one pound sugar
either brown or white, IL eggs Nancy
used some she had put up in water

pounds raiS1nS, two POUNDS currantS,
one-half pound each citron, lemon and
orange peel, two tablespoonfuls lemon
juice and one quarter cupful grape juice
or coffee. Nancy creamed sugar and
butter, added egg yolks. She added
spices to flour, dredged peels with 1t
and combined mixtures. Then she put

dress you would wear for every and any
occasion. Usually it is an evening dress
or one of those dresses that you don

the late afternoon dress.
Usually the beads are concentrated,
appearing as a small yoke or as bor-

is a much more attractive way to dis
pose of beads than to strew them over
the entire dress. The sketch shows

In many Of the shops you can buy

this trimming, but occasionally you will
