HOOVER SPEECH
Interpreted AS
CAMP AIGN MOVE
Lincoln Day Address Held
Opening Gun in Race
for Reelection. :

d. United Pres
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Presi-
dent Hoovers broad statement Of
policy in his Lincoln day speech
generally was accepted today by his
political associates here as the
opening gun in his reelection cam
paign.
He championed the cause of
states rights and urged acceptance
of local responsibility and diminu-
ton Of federal encroachments. In
directly he attacked notification,
and appealed strongly for party
loyalty.
If prohibition and power are to be
issues in the campaign, the Presi-
dent indicated what his position
would be, although he did not men
ton either subject directly.
Hiss speech broadcast over a ma
tional radio hookup Thursday night
from the Lincoln room of the White
House, was built around speculation
as to what Abraham Lincoln would
do today. Mr.. Hoover said:
You would find him pounding at
the public mind against notification
and for adherence to the constitu-
tional processes of government. No
stronger statement ever has been
made than that of Lincoln upon

Go Quick
All Pile Misery Ended Without Cut
ting or Salves.

Thousands of Pile sufferers have
learned that quick and permanent re-
lief can only be accomplished with an
internal medicine Neither salves or
ointments remove the cause.
Bad circulation of the blood in the
lower bowel causes piles. The veins
are fabby, the bowel walls weak-the
parts almost dead To end Piles an
internal medicine must be used to slim
ulate the circulation and strengthen
the affected parts.
DR.. j. $. LeOnhardt was the first to
discover real internal Pile remedy.
He called his prescription HEM ROID,
and prescribed it for 600 patients with
the marvellous record of success in $50
eases, and then decided every Pile suf-
ferer should be able to get HEM ROID
from their own druggist with a rigid
money back guarantee.
DR. Leonhardt's prescription has a
wonderful record of success right in
this city and Hook Drug Stores invite
every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROID
and guarantee to refund the purchase
price if it does not end all Pile misery.

Prohibition Reform

When a group of outstanding women publicly de-
uaand a. change from volsteadism means OF re-
form the old charge that all such efforts are inspired
by LIQUOR interests loses its force
The women of Indianapolis who have joined IN
this movement have been leaders in every
civic movement for progress or for charity.
These women were prominent when the drive to
clean up the government started. All Of them
were in the great crusade for city manager charter
They have given of their talents and time to good
causes.
Now they declare that the present prohibition
regime is menace to morals. They must be given
credit for tn. same sincerity that they have shown
in the past.
For many years the prohibition forces had a
monopoly of responsibility That was before 1t was
tried That was when the evils Of the old saloon
were apparent That was when the welfare OF the
future seemed to be in the direction Of absolute sup
preston.
Today responsibility demands practicality. It de-
uands that the ideal be reached, not abandoned TO
a phrase It demands the old objective OF the
curbing Of the evils of alcohol and that the objective
be reached by path that will produce results not
greater evils
The liquor problem must be solved. Perhaps these
women of keen conscience and keen minds will point
the way They can not be ignored. Nor can their
motives be attacked.

A Real Service

Out of the list Of fine agencies which last winter
endeavored to minimize the misery OF the voorhees,
and hungry, none rendered better service than the
kitchens operated by city employees.
That this has been forced to close for the summer
may bring a problem to other agencies as the num-
Der of persons fed each day somewhat staggering
Those in immediate need received care The ticket
of admission was hunger and means OF satisfying
that hunger Applicants fed first and investi-
gated later.
The work was started by voluntary contributions
from the wages Of city employees. It was enlarged
by donations from many firms dealing In foods
Because of the very nature OF its work there could
be no public praise 1t designed to care for cit-
zens of Indianapolis not to attract the obess from
other cities which had made no such provision for
their care.
To work without applause and without recog-
milton demands q finer grade Of courage and sin
ceritv than to march with the blare of bands and
with flying colors.
Now that any necessity for silence is passed with
the suspension Of the work for the summer, credit
should be given for fine service. Here was work
that saved human beings. Here was salvage corps
that rescued many from misery.

Mussolini and the Pope

Ever since the Fascist dictatorship took over power
in Italy political prophets have foretold its speedy
end This is too late in the day to fall o such easy
prophecy.
Mussoini, when the time comes, probably will not
fall quickly. His control of military weapoAS and
espionage SO complete that he is apt to give rolu-
tionists long run for their money.
Nevertheless, IL is not too much to say that his
growing conflict with the pope Is weakening his hold
seriously Italy Not that the Catholic church alone
is able to undermine him. but that its power is very
great when added to other anti-Fascist elements.
Long ago Il Duce lost support of the Liberals and
Labor. The middle classes FESTIVE under his
restraint.
At this distance it is idle to speculate on the
reasons for the churchFascists conflict which seemed
to have been settled by the papal treaty Of two
ago. Rigid censorship obscures the facts
Whether the Catholic societies took the initiative
in anFsscst political action and thus aroused the
Fascist rank and file, the government contends or
whether Mussoni deliberately precpitated the terror
ism, is not clear.
But in either case, MusSolni seems to be getting
himself into q deeper hole.
If the church societies were attempting illegal in
reference with political afairS-and that has not
been proved-1ussolini could have handled the issue
to his own advantage by legal methods. Instead he
has allowed a reign of terror which only can make
martyrs Of large numbers Of religious adherents
In any country, that is risky business for gov
eminent. In Catholic Italy it is downright danger
