The Roll Call of
The Liberals

Remember that, gentle
reader2 Of course, you do,
now that Smith reminds you.
Was it necessary for him to
remind you how the report
of the committee was ten to
one against prohibition, and
how the report was misrep-
resented in the preface, and
submitted by Mr.. Hoover
with the absurd comment
that it showed that we must
stand by the dry laws?
And so many liberals
bought t gold bricks and
lightning rods from the
Hoover board of strategy in
1928-and know it now.
Mr.. Smith, a real liberal,
shows conclusively that it
still has gold bricks and
lightning rods for sale to
suckers.
So many of us are too
busy looking for a job since
the elimination of poverty"
with "a chicken in every
pot" that we have not
taken the time to under
stand just what the Hoover
party plan is on prohibition.
Smith does it for us. He
shows that the Hoover plan
merely submits repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment with
restrictions that leaves an
untenable thing in the Con-
stitution.
That it binds none of their
members of House and Sem
ate even to vote for the re-
peal.
That the purpose was to
carry on the hypocrisy of
1928 of being dry in dry
territory and wet in wet ter
ritory.
That there is no sugges-
tion in it of an immediate
modification of the Volstead
act to open the breweries
and put men to work, and to
tighten the. burden of taxa
tion by hundreds of millions,
almost a billion, through .
tax on beer.

Roosevelt, 21I2 to |
Those Are the Odds Today

Betting odds the election interest you whether you
bet not.
Roosevelt supporters therefore, will be pleased to hear
that their candidate is still 2-to1 favorite Mr.
Hooverand Hoover supporters presumably, will be CORE
spondingly depressed,
Other bets placed yesterday at to i that Hoover
would lose Ohio Indiana and Illinois and would carry Penn

Still others: ...- .-
Six that Roosevelt carries New York State to that
he carries California; to that he carries California by
100000 votes that Lehman wins and that Wagner is
reelected and to that McAdoo elected in California
Betting hardly infalble test Of what will happen
But with the campaign its windup it is perhaps re-
liable any other and superior to most.

LISTEN. WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

They have to look at them
selves straight.
They have to look at life
straight.
It's a cruel ordeal.
It's terrible challenge.
For if you're going to look
at yourself, or at life, in that
way, you must do something
about it, otherwise you're
fake. You're even worse than
a fake. You're a gutter.
If you look at Truth-if you
insist on knowing Truth-you
must live true. And that, in
this frightened, greedy, con-
ceited world, is the hardest job
a man can tackle-the SaddeSt,
loneliest job a man can tackle.
For human society, as yet,
isn't based on Truth. Truth
is too much for most people.
1t requires too much thought;
too much risk. So most people
hate Truth. Most people pre-
fer to shut their eyes and pre-.
tend. ....
Hate the Truth
And they hate people who
call their bluff and upset their
comfort. They hate people who
tell them they're pretending.
They hate and punish such
people. They laugh at them.
Ignore them. Gossip about
them. Call them nuts. Call
them criminals. Drive them
out. Cruelty them.
Yes. living true is the sad
dest. loneliest job a man can
tackle. 9.
BUT IT'S ALSO THE
PROUDEST JOB!
For the man who dares to
seek the Truth, dares to face
the Truth, dares to live the
Truth, really lives like a man
and not like an animal. In
deed. he does more
HE LIVES LIKE A GOD.
That doesn't mean he lives
comfortably, or popularity. Come
to think of it, a god has proba-
bly, as uncomfortable and un-
popular an existence as possible.
No one fixed things pretty for
a god. And seldom, if ever,
does He get much real applause.
A Big Thing
But it must be a pretty big
thing for a god to feel that
he can do his job without COM
fort or applause, for the love
of the job itself, for the sake
of his own self-respect.
AND IT'S A PRETTY BIG
THING FOR A MAN TO FEEL
THAT WAY TOO; FOR A MAN
TO FEEL THAT HE CAN LIVE
AS A GOD LIVES, SEEING
LIFE AS TT REALLY IS, OAR
ING TO LIVE THE TRUTH.
Yes, there are two kinds of
people-those who fool them
selves, and those who don't.
Most of us are the first kind,
and there's no denying that the
first kind get most of the sugar
doughnuts.
But there are a few who
would rather have a stale, harsh
crumb of Truth than any
amount Of sugar doughnuts.
And, it's strange
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO
LIVE ON. THEY ARE THE
ONES THIS COWARDLY
WORLD NEVER FORGETS-
THE ONES WHO HAVE THE
COURAGE TO REFUSE TO
FOOL THEMSELVES. g.. 81.

Smith Reminds
Us

No man or woman is 60
ing to pay a compliment to
Al Smith by voting for Mr..
Hoover; and we have that
from Al Smith.
Memories are short; in
these days, when most of lis
are fighting for existence, it
is easy to forget even the
most vivid occurrences of
four years ago. Mr.. Smith 5
recOllections are accurate
and vivid as the occurrences
themselves. He rendered a
service at Newark in bring
ing them before us.
Thus he recalls Mabel
Walker Willebrandt and the
appeal to bigotry she deliv-
cred before the Methodist
Conference in Ohio.
He recalls now, from her
own words, that she was a
bit ashamed to make the
speech; that she asked the
Hoover national committee
for release; that she received
two kilograms from it in
structing her to go ahead.
We all remember that
now, that Smith reminds us
Of it.
The Washington times., 1932-10-29

T HAVE voted for Al
l. Smith in conventions and
at the polls every time since
1926, and, like millions Of
others, l listened with in
tense interest to his fighting
speech at Newark over the
radio. 1t was a character
istic Smith speech, rich in
sincerity and honesty and
in contempt for hypocrisy,
pretense and bigotry. No
human being can speak with
such authority of the cam
paign of hypocrisy and big
otry waged against him four
years ago through a board
of strategy having complete
confidence and approval.
I have known this, and
t hought some about it
through the early stages of
the present campaign when
Hoover managers, who were
in on the waging of the most
scurrilous and bigoted cam
paign in history against
Smith, were appearing in
Boston dripping hypocritical
encomiums upon him. I
thought I knew what he
must have thought; and, [
now know, l knew. He has
said in fighting language
what l thought.
It means that no man or
woman pretending to any
respect or devotion for Al
Smith can register their vote
this year for Mr.. Hoover, the
"dry leader" of the nation,
as Smith calls him, who
dominated the board of
strategy which waged a
campaign Of bigotry against
him.

Get Wise

How often do you admit that
you are in error, even when it
is proved that you are wrong?
Rather than make an admis-
sion, don't you Immediately set
up some kind Of an argument
in your own favor or that of the
matter involved?
While you are making excuses
for yourself you are not correct
i:.:y anything that you may have
said or done, certainly.
Your mind is not open to sug-
gestion when it is constantly on
guard against any expression of
thought which differs from your
own ideas.
Why should you think your
self infallible?
Without positive proof from a
high authority, why should you
be so vigorous in your state
ments upholding your opinion
as correct.
AS an always-right person you
place great dependence on your
memory which becomes decid-
edly tickle at times.
If you are one of this sort,
you lose many opportunities for
enlightenment which would be
of great benefit to you.
Then, too, you often bring
ridicule upon yourself because
of errors that you make-for
you do make, them, and your
cocksure way keeps others
watching to trip you, Get wise
to yourself.

Iebrandt, outlining the cam
paign, is no less a person
than the Republican candi-
date for governor of the
State of New York, Col.
Bill Donovan"
And we all remember that,
now that Smith reminds us.
And this is Smith s con-
clusion:
"All the bigotry and
intolerance that arose
throughout the country be-
cause of her remarks can
be directly charged to that
political committee"
huff said for any intelli-
gent friend of AL Smith, man
or woman.
Let Smith
Tell It
But there is nothing more
devastating in the Smith
fighting speech for Roose-
velt and Garner than his
analysis of the positions of
the two parties on prohibi-
tion. Intelligent liberals will
be interested in this, for
they know that he has been
the leader against Mr.. Hoo
ver's "nobl le experiment"
for many years.
He is so sincere and earn
est on that question that he
practically repudiated his
own platform four years
ago with the telegram he
sent to the convention.
When a man of such cour-
age and robust honesty on
that question gives advice
to real liberals, they will
give heed.
He reminds us Of the dou-
ble-dealing of Mr.. Hoover's
managers on the subject
four years ago when they
whispered "dry" in dry ter
ritory, and wet" in wet
territory. This was made
possible by calling prohibi-
tion "noble experiment"
in a speech by Hoover, and
by the promise of Mr..
Hoover to appoint a COM
mission to investigate it.
But let Smith tell it:
THE drys went into a
huddIe, and they said, He
calls it a noble experiment.
Then his friends among the
vets said, That was just to
calm them down. He is 60
ing to do something about
it because he says it is not
all right /"

Talent is what enables a girl
to earn a living without mar

takes real GENIUS for her to

The hardest thing poor,

Love, like eating or breathing,

Here Is Warning
Be sure that the water in the

above the tops of the jars.
In using a steam pressure cook
err for canning, remember not tc
open the petcock at the end of the
sterilizing period in order to re-

Rather, let the cooker stand with

To prevent loss of moisture in the

always maintain the required pres

heat under the cooker, rather than
by allowing an excess of steam to
escape through the steam escape

If an excess of steam is allowed
to escape from he cooker, either
through the petcock Or steam escape
valve, some of the liquid may be
drawn out of the jars.

Contract Bridge

South went TO four hearts. West
then bid five clubs and North five
hearts.
Let us stop to reason it out in this
manner. Why did not South, a.
his first opportunity. bid four hearts
to show that they could make FIVE?
Simply because he held only one
command.
When East bid six clubs, South
safely can BID six hearts. as North
has shown additional strength.
West bids seven clubs, which
North and East passed. South now
knew that he could not bid seven
hearts, as they had losing club
trick-North having failed to
show command of two suits.
However, if the bidding had been
South one heart, West two dia-
monds, North four hearts, you an
see how easy it would now be for
South to read his partner for the
ace of clubs and the ace of spades.
But as partner failed to show
these two commands, South now
must be content with doubling the
bid of seven clubs.
OF course, it is beautiful sacri-
flee bid on the part of East and
West, as they will go down only
three tricks, or only 400, if doubled,
while North and South easily could
have made small slam at hearts.

IN when she's very gay, fashion

Even the colors are practical.

One very slick dinner dress has
brown skirt of that new crinkly
crepe, and pale pink top of metal
embroidered chiffon. And-it has
detachable sleeves. What a lot of
difference sleeves make!
When they're on. you can wear
the dress for bridge, for dinner, or
for Sunday night entertaining.
When they're off, you have formal
dress, with deep loose armholes.
Dress Has Covered Shoulders
Then there's the dress with COW
cred shoulders. No separate sleeves
or other surprise EN- gadgets. But
the ruched or puffer, or fur
trimmed sleeves (short of course)
let go places which their long full
skirts alone might forbid.
And covered shoulders make the
wide top to the r-glass sill
houette that smart women want to
cultivate.
Last, and most important of the
practical evening fashions comes
the jacket dress You'd hardly rec
ognize it this year. Because the

And on another occasion, when

Come With Capelet Sleeves.
Sometimes these Jackets come

1t is taken from the popular novel
by Marion Dix and Jerry Horwin
and is said to be based on circum-
stances taken from real life.
The star, Constance Bennett, is
reported to set a new standard in
feminine wearing apparel in this
production. She has twenty-five
complete changes in gowns in the
picture, including all accessories,
such as purses, parasols, shoes,
stockings and lingerie.
The gowns are the latest creations
of the modiStes' art from Paris, New
York and Hollywood. There are
evening gowns, street and sports
wear, in fact everything that a
wealthy society girl which char
acter she represents, would wear.
The story is said to be thrilling
one of love in high places; of a
luxury-loving lady who finds herself
suddenly face to face with law with
the man she loves as the prose-
cutor; of proud girl who dares
disgrace and ruin to protect name.
Miss Bennett is supported by a
cast of we'll known players which
includes Neil Hamilton, Helen Vim
