Philadelphia, January 17 (UP) - Joe Smith, Tommy Loughran's midget manager. expressed wish today that Jack Sharkey would get down off his high horse' and agree to a return match with the retired light heavyweight cham pion.
 ''Sharkey is issuing challenges right and left, but it strikes me he is pretty sure his challenges are falling on barren ground" Smith said. For instance. he has chal- lenged Jack Dempsey, but he knows that the Manassa mauler has repeatedly stated he does not intend to return to the ring.

Opponents have nothing better to offer''
 That question. "what have the vets to offer?" is cited by a number of prohibition editors. One, in Pennsyl- Vania, writes:
 Even though imperfectly enforced through official laxity and political pressure, the amendment finds this country, in our opinion, infinitely better than before. National prohib- tion had to come because high l- cense laws, local option and state prohibition failed to regulate the liquor traffic. No substitute for na- tioal prohibition has been proposed with anything like the general agree ment back of it that national prohi- bition has. To abandon it in view of this fact would be perilous and not to be considered"
 A few prohibition editors express a worried pessimism-as in this, from Wisconsin editorial sane tum:
 Relieve the economic soundness Of the country'S business as at preS-e ent constituted would be adversely influenced by repeal of prohibition. But am greatly disgusted with pres- ent efforts at enforcement-or lack of efforts. Am forced to conclusion that there is little honesty or seri- ousness in the official attitude to- ward prohibition
 Dry Sees Wet Future
 And an Illinois editor. after de- claring himself as staunch dry, adds:
 "But--shes wet. Wetter than SOD. And the next party in power is go- ing to be a wet one. I'm a S. o. D. fan, too."
 "A Vermont editor, who states frankly that when a better substi- tute for the 18th amendment is offered. we will be for it," goes on to l assert that while there are many evils under the present law, there is less liquor consumed in this terri tory than formerly, and we do not want a return to the old condi- tions."
 A similar note is sounded in this. from Washington editor:
 We believe the 18th amendment to be Fundamentally right. It is the law. and as such we uphold it. The present situation is not satisfactory, yet we cannot return to pre-Vol- stead conditions.'' nr
 An Ohioan's View
 No such doubts appear in this note. by an Ohian editor:
 Tt was the greatest piece of legislation ever given to the people of the United States. Has done much to make us the great nation that we are at the present time"
 And a Missouri editor says that he favors prohibitions:
 Because it's the right, sane, de- cent policy.
 Because the majority indorsed it.
 Because crime opposed it.
 Because it's as important as was the opposition to slavery"
 A surprisingly large number of editors simply wrote. in reply to the question, Will you state briefly your reasons for adopting the pol icy you are advocating ?'-"Moral and economic"

 "The purpose for which it is sug- gested the $25,000,000 be spent may be very laudable, but to me it ap- pears to be the opening wedge for the ultimate adoption of the dole, to which New England is very much opposed"

Fine Clothing To Measure

THE PUBLIC is beginning to realize that the principal
 cost of clothing, as we'll as the value, is not in the wool lens alone, but in the work
 manship, and that the life of a suit, as well as the general
 appearance, depends largely
 upon the time and care given to its construction. The biggest bargains are the goods carrying the name of maker whose prestige is founded on long years of adherence to high quality standards. Even an old suit of good character is bet ter than a new one without a reference.
 Our firm is favourably known, our new stock in woollens is
 ready for inspection, and we soli- cit your patronage.
 Please place orders as early as possible in order that you secure the fine patterns that we NOW
