 He added that information reaching him indicated that the en- tire Texas delegation in the house. with the exception of Rep. Blanton. dem., would support repeal. He ex. plained, however, he had not had an opportunity to speak with all the members.

WISE WORDS

In an aInbuscade of villains
a man does better with his feet
than with his hands.
Loss of temper is loss Of
sense.
There is nothing either good
or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Time is not tied to a post like
a horse to a manger.
No sweet without some sweat.
May our purses be heavy and
our hearts light.
A good garden may have some
weeds.
1t is a dangerous sign to see
fox lick a lamb.
No friend is a friend until he
shall prove a friend.
Borrowing is the Canker and
the death of every mans estate.
A little bird wants but a
little nest.
He is we'll paid that is we'll
satisfied.
A minister's life should be a
signboard pointing the way to
heaven.
In vicious company you are
among your enemies.
To make book is no less a
trade than to make a clock.

Doubt That Now?

But that is the kind of
trick that becomes thread
bare in one campaign.
1t makes a ragged ban
ner in a second. For now
these Republican liberals
know just what Mr.. Hoover
did with his commission of
investigation.
First, he tried to get out
of naming one.
Second, when the clamor
became too great, he named
a commission to investigate
everything under the sun
and included prohibition.
Third, when the majority
of the commission reported
individually against prohibi-
ton, he gave the public a
summary of the conclusions
which was utterly false.
Does anyone doubt that

Roosevelt Declared
Against 18th Amendment

In the Democratic conven-
ton, the sentiment for re-
peal and for the modification
of the Volstead act was over
whelming. Such a plank was
put into the platform with
a startling majority. Within
two days, Mr.. Roosevelt ap-
peared before the conven-
ton, and, in language with
but one meaning, declared
that he stood squarely with
the party on that issue and
that from this hour the
Eighteenth Amendment is
doomed"
That makes the issue so
clear that no one can posi-
bly, vote dry this year
through ignorance of misap-
prehensiOn.
Never in the political his
tory of the country has an
issue been so clear-cut and
uneScapable.

They Choose Their
Own Company

New York is ovcrwhelm-
ingly against the amend
ment.
So is New Jersey.
And Illinois.
And Massachusetts.
And Mr.. Hoover cannot
possibly carry any one Of
these States unless Repub-
licans who are against pro-
hIbition vote for the "nOble
experiment" and NJ. Hoover.
When they vote for Hoover,
their six-year-old child can
tell them that they are vot-
ing for the Eighteenth
Amendment, for prohibition
and all its works.
And that they are enlisted
under the same banner az
Bishop Cannon and the Anti
Saloon League. They choose
their own company this year
with eyes wide open.

Plain as a
Pike Staff

For the first time, the
issue is as plain as a pike
staff. In 1923 Mr.. Smith was
against prohibition, but the
d ocrat tic party side
stepped and did not declare
against it. The issue in that
campaign, such as it was,
was in the personnel of the
heads of the ticket, not in
opposing party pledges. It
was possible to persuade
many Republican liberals
that Mr.. Hoover, who used
phrases with double-mean.
ings, would do what he could
to rid the country of the
greatest scandal any law
ever had brought upon it.
This year Mr.. Hoover still
seeks to play both ends
against the middle, and Mr.,
Roosevelt has pledged him
self against the Eighteenth
Amendment and the present
Volstead act to forty mil
lion Americans listening to
his voice over the radio.
And this year, for the first
time, a leading political
party has taken the position
these Republican liberals pre-
tend to hold, and the Repub-
llcan party has taken a
stand against it after a
spirited fight in the con-
vention.
Where do these Republi-
can liberals stand now!
If Mr.'Hoover carries New
York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and Illinois, they
will have marched shoulder
to shoulder with the Anti
Saloon League; and the re
peal of the Eighteenth
Amendment will be post
poned for a generation. h

important and unpremeditated
beginnings many serious affairs

The woman who is wise and
wishes to keep her husband
from being talked about is care
full not to plan these meetings
herself.
Also if she wishes to keep
the friendship, confidence and
good will of her woman friends
she will not make these de-
mands on the husband of a
friend.
You may be modern, but you
can be thoughtful and kind

foolish to give another any
excuse for jealous thoughts. no
matter how illfounded.

in favor of repeal, NJ"
. Hoover put all the power of
Presidential patronage into
the fight against a repeal
plank. He had about 300
office holders in the conven-
ton.
The fight against repeal
was led by Ogden Mills, Of
New York, who ignored the
instructions of his own dele
CATION, and he was the per-
Sonal representative of Mr..
Hoover.
Thus the liberals lost, and
Bishop Cannon has come out
for Hoover, and the head Of

New York has come out for
Hoover.

They are on trial on pro-

about the vast ajority of
the people being opposed to
prohibition in New York.
And most Of these agree,
between elections, that the
governmental problem in
volved in prohibition is of
paramount Importance to the
country. They know that
the "noble experiment" has
destroyed respect for law,
created a great army of sub

Was It to Laugh
Or to Cry?

Four years ago these lib
erals voted more like simple
tons than like men qualified
for the vote-for still clamor-
ing against prohibition they
voted against Smith who was
against it and for Hoover
who was for it.
Imagine the intelligence of
the vote in New York and
Jersey which went for the

PERTINENT! Was it to laugh
or to cry?
But these hide bound par
tisans had an excuse to offer
for their inconsistency. Mr..
Hoover had promised an in
vestigation. That, Of course,
meant nothing at all. But it
opened the way for the
trickery and double-dealing
planned. I know that Re-
publican liberals were told

Hoover's way to rid us Of

Then came the Republican
national convention. Repub-
lican liberals, dis g usted
thoroughly, determined to
put their party on record in
favor of the repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment. The
sentiment of the rank and
file of the party justified
the expectation that some
such declaration would be
written into the platform.
The ablest men in the party
were on hand to see that it
was put there.
And what happened? Mr..
Hoover, in conference with
Mr.. Garfield, Ogden Mills

conformity with his alliance

element, framed a plank
which pledged the party abb
