modification of the Volstead
act if entrusted with power
by the people at the polls.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance accepted this
position in the most en-
phatic manner and an
nounced:
From this hour the
Eighteenth Amendment is
doomed"
Thus there is no possible
misunderstanding of t h e
issue on prohibition between
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Roose-
welt; and if the people of
New York are for repeal
and modification, and they
are, and if they vote honest
ly and intelligently, Roose-
welt will carry the State.

N. Y. Depends on
World Trade.

For years New York was
considered safe for the Re-
publicans because of the pro-
tective tariff-but it was a
protective and not a pro-
hibitive tariff.
The one reason why New
York is the greatest city in
the world, the mightlest in
America, is because Of her
matchless harbor. The city
has been built on foreign
trade. 1t has been the
transfer field for the i'm
ports and exports of ma
ton. Freight trains have
entered and departed loaded
because of foreign trade.
Thousands of citizens have
depended for business and a
livelihood on the interna-
tional exchange of goods.
Thousands of offices in the
city s skyscrapers have been
occupied by men and women
engaged directly and indi-
rectIy in this exchange.
Build an insurmountable
barrier at the waters edge
against foreign trade and the
power and glory of the city
would denart

funny about EVERYTHING.
Love was a scream, marriage
was a joke, ambition was
hooey, poetry was blah, work
was something to be lodged
like motor car; and nothing
was sacred, or sad, or serious
or even important.
There were all kinds of wits
in those days. Water-WitS, who
were the life of the swimming
party, and yelped above the
thunder of the waves as they
ducked women and children
and each other, or who threw
each other, fully dressed, into
the swimming pool-Ha-ha!
And parlor- wits, who made
night hideous with their wild,
wild laughter. And motor-car
wits and speakeasy wits and
night-cIub Wits-and nit-Wits!
There were clowns galore, and
punsters, and Wiscrackers, and
practical jokerS, and gay WagS,
and merry-andrews, and custard-
pie wits, and cynics. But worst
of all we're the vinegar-Wlts-
the masters of the retort DIS
COURTEOUS.
You know the kind I mean.
The sort of people who would
rather be funny" than we'll
bred, and who mistake inclv1llty
for humor, and rudenesS for
satire. The type who chuckles
with self-complacency inside
when he has embarrassed or
hurt anybody with a smart,
snappy answer" Next to throw
ing Custard-pies, the lowest
form of it is the retort-diScourt-
eous. It's so easy!
All, we'll: all these amateur
humorists have passed out of
the picture. and the world has
become a kindlier and SWeeter
place. A sadder and a wiser

Mills Defeated
Repeal Plank

The position Of Mr.. Hoov-
or in the Republican con-
vention on prohibition was
the most conspicuous feature
of an unusually drab and
dull assembly. The New
York Republicans in the
convention were in favor of
the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. The delegates
reflected the views Of the
great mass Of Republican
voters. They instructed
their representative on the
resolutions committee for a
straight and honest repeal
declaration.
This representative was
Ogden Mills, who is Secre-
tary Of the Treasury under
Mr.. Hoover.
In addition, he was the
spokesman and the personal
representative of Mr.. Hoover
in the convention.
And in this capacity he
saw fit utterly to ignore the
instructions of the New York
delegation and to fight and
use the whip against repeal.
There were three hundred
official retainers of Mr..
Hoover in that convention
and these were all arrayed
militantly against repeal. The
vote was so close that re-
peal would have won the
day but for these retainers,
acting under the whip of
Mr.. Hoover.

BOSTON, May 10 (U.SD.-The
United States Government ought
to adopt the sales tax, provide for
the return of legal beer and
wines, and project a substantial
bond issue to put ment to work

Jouett Shouse, executive chair
man Of the Democratic National
Committee, declared yesterday
In an interview with the Boston
Evening American. He Said:'
"This combination of projects
will revive the morale of the
country. 1t will implant conf

fOrestall the increased suffer
ing which is bound to exist

liant, heroic means are en-
plOyed to avert it.
This all requires a courage
and leadership which we have
not had from Mr.. Hoover and
which we cannot expect from

'"The National Government
should provide a substantial
bond issue for essential public
works.
