UN.SO. - The Democratic con-

following a night which saw John

A State Problem

Hoover's recent address on children
and the home bristled with platitudes
1t is to be hoped that the states are
not going to unload child welfare
problems on Washington too. If there
is any problem which is a solemn and
sacred duty Of the state government,
it Is to look after the child without
trying to shunt that obligation upon
the presidents shoulders. One senses
another high-pressure federal bureau
with payroll and appropriation to per-
form function which is essentially
and vitality that Of state.
Those well-meaning and distin-
guished women who met in the AS
toria hotel recently to worry over the
child and the home have within
themselves the very best sponsors to
correct conditions of which they COM
plain and for the remedy of which
they have repeatedly besieged an al
ready over-organized and unwieldy
federal bureaucracy.
If we are going to put the govern
ment in loco PARENTS, then let us
utter a prayer for God to protect the
home. If federal bureaus bungle that
Job as they have others, the we'll
mothers gathered in New
York have a rude awakening in store
for them.
One OF Hoover's many conferences
has had the child and home under
the social microscope and there is a
plan and program in print for this
too If encouraged, the federal gov
which now sends out pat
terms for WHY'S pants and points out
strategic places for the buttons, will
give mothers more leisure for those
things which lie outside the home.
In most instances, it is not the
child that should cause the worry, but
the parents in whom a deeper re-
'ponsibiiity must be aroused. That
cannot be done by even a Hoover bu-
reau Of home efficiency.

Farmers F0rsaking Dry Law
THE Country Honey

'AAAS N'ooAAViy 4AOlliCJ
Public opinion in the small towns
and in the rural districts is now
shifting away from existing prohibi-
ton laws. The Country Home is the
first of the important farm magazines
to recognize this situation and take a
definite stand for prohibition reform.
The politicians, think, have already
observed the currents of agricultural
opinion, for if they had not done so,
it is certain that both Republican and
Democratic platforms would read very
differently, and President Hoover in
his acceptance speech would not have
said that change is necessary.
Since both political parties have
abandoned prohibition, friends of
temperance in the agricultural dis
trictS must now bestir themselves, not
against the overwhelming tide of pub
lie opinion, but to see that the prohi-
bition experiment is not followed by
chaos and confusion.
After trial of dozen years, many
farm leaders who were formerly of
the belief that the cause OF temper
ance would best be served by national
prohibition have become dissatisfied
with the way in which the experiment
has worked out.
But there is always the incontro-
vertible fact that human nature is so
constructed that unrestricted access
to alcoholic beverages is bound to be
great social menace. Therefore the
great necessity for farm leaders at
present is straight thinking.
We are going to have a change. But
it is OF supreme importance that the
original objective should not be lost
in the confusion and excitement of
the change. The great agricultural
population of the country wants the
nation to go forward with its eye on
temperance. not backward to de-
hatchery and the saloon.
When the present experiment is
abandoned, We should be ready to
substitute something in its place; a
better plan than the scheme We are
giving up. The friends Of temperance
and that group certainly numbers
nine-tenths of the rural population
have a superb opportunity to plan for
the era right ahead.
The saloon was blight; the boot
logger and the speakeasy are a curse.
What will come after the bootlegger
and the speakeasy depends upon the
intelligence and public spirit which
can be focused on the problem.
Neither political party has offered a
plan for liquor control. Both are for
turning control back to the states.
Why, therefore, should this important
question remain any longer in poll
tics?
No matter which party wins the
forthcoming election, farm leaders
want the next congress to lay aside
all thought Of partisan advantage and
name joint committee, made up Of
all shades Of opinion. Let that COM
mittee formulate plan under which
dry states may remain dry If they
like, and wet states may have sane
liquor control. This is a reasonable
nation. 1t is ready to move forward.
But the farm voters will insist on see
ing where it is going.
