ELECTION SEALS DOOM OF
 PROHIBITION.

One thing that the Presidential campaign and the voting of 1882 has done is to seal the doom of Prohibition. All that is left to be done is to mop up the nuisance That that will be quickly done there seems no to doubt. Everywhere the people got an opportunity to do so they took a punch at Prohibition California and Washington have repealed their bone dry and State enforcement laws They have determined that the Federal legislation shall not be reinforced through State aid Hereafter those States like many others will step out of the Prohibition enforcement game and let the Federal agents go it alone
 Prohibition has been the nemesis of the Repub- lican Party Republican defeat in the 1882 election was foregone conclusion after the Democratic Con yention at Chicago declared in unequvocal language for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and pending repeal, for immediate legalized beer and light wines While Republicans did their best in the campaign to rectify mistakes the party had made through trying to hold the Prohbitionists in line

Technicians for Statesmen.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

tClnclnnaC EnqulrerD
 Doubtless the United States today has more men )f high ability than at any previous time in it's history. But for the most part these tech nicians, whether in law science, medicine or public administration or finance Few men whose understanding of human nature and of the unctioning of complex economic society is great enough to fit them for the higher posts in govern ment
 In this relation an observation of Ernest Martin Hopkins, President of Dartmouth College, is per- snent. He says:
 The of specialization has developed rapidly that still without
 sciousness of the sacrifices which it has entaed Specialization has largely de- stroyed the supply of of broad talents formerly available for the organization of life for it's greatest common advantage to all men Our men capable of high poten- tial thinking and of great works being conscripted for service within highly special ized groups.
 Consequently, when under demands of the common welfare the diverse interests of these groups have to be harmonized when social compromises and adjustments mpera- tive, or when processes of government need to be made of maximum effectiveness, have no sufficient number of competent minds to meet needs. There but
 few whose experience has given them any
 contemplation of life in its fuIlness or
 whose contacts with life have been broad
 enough to qualify them for undertaking
 these responsibilities.
 The most ardent defender of democracy cannot eny that President Hopkins made a valid point. md that the difficulty Nation is encounterng it's struggle to refashon it's economic life to meet lew conditions is in measure due to this lack ,f leaders who philosophers, and not simply bankers or business lawyers admins- rators
 Technicians have done much for us. But they @F ,e o integrate the many elements of society and consolidate the gains that technicans have made

LaGuardia and Mrs Ruth Pratt both more than prominent New York Re- publican members of Congress La Guardia has taken leading part among the Republican nsurgent Congressmen for many years His defeat 1t is said was due more to the circumstance that he ran as Republican for Mayor of New York against Jimmie Walker and made an anti i-Tammany campaign than to his Congressional insurgency, Tammany tried to beat him in 193o but could not quite make it. Mrs Pratt incurred the enmity of Tammany when she a very critical member of the Board of Alder men. The organization made hard battles against her in each Congressional election but not sue cessfu until this year.

LOOKING FORWARD TOWARD LOWER
 TARIFFS.

British and Canadian statesmen are now talking of abandoning their high tariffs for reciprocity They feel that the Democrats will win the Ameri- can election and looking forward with hope to the Democratic platform pledging the Government to call international tariff conference for the pur- pose of bringing about agreed upon reduction of duties to stimulate international trade and traffic. It is proposed by the British Government, it is said, to maintain the Imperial differentia tariff among the British Dominions and Great Bri- tain for the time being. However, English free traders are hopeful that the world is approaching period of low tariffs and reciprocity. They profess to marked reaction against the tariff walls that countries have been building up for the last few years

Depreciated Money Suggests Tariff.
Seattle Tlmes.)

The request of the President that the Tariff Commission investigate many schedules to ascertain what industries suffering 'in the face of de- oreciated foreign currency" opens up big subject. Among the manufacturers seeking higher schedules ,n this ground are the salmon people of this State md Alaska. At the last session, they asked Con- ress for higher duties to balance depreciated foreign currencies in competing countries and did not get what they requested The commission should oe in position to supplement their showing of facts y the opening of the next session in December.
 The investigation is neither sectional partisan n its broader aspects. The situation of the Wash ngton and Alaska salmon canning industry is par illeled by that of the vacuum lamp makers in New York, where the big Buffalo factory of General Electric recently closed down because it's

H could guess their errands. In imagination he followed them. A girl and a man who had not known each other till within the past few hours met accidentally on the I'bathing beach or golf course had ta- ken q momentary shine to each other. Tomorrow they would be paired differently.
 What did they gain by experi- menting? When the real thing ar rived it would find them with blunted capacities On the other hand there was the bird in the hand theory. One might sleep through life saving up for a great event that never happened.
 Suddenly he caught a glimpse of himself. Could Santa see him now how she would laugh!
 "Clive, darling, you are a dumb bell"
 Because he was saving himself for her, he was acting like monk. She wouldn't thank him for his loyalty, she would treat 1t as an infirmity.
 Time enough flor that when you're married" she would tell him.
 Her name spelt magic; she was aptly called. Her face was in- stinct with longing, yet longing that was impersonal. Her dark bobbed head was boyish; her ha- gel eyes melting. She had a trick of meekness. very appealing, in he way she employed her capable hands. She created the impression of needing protection.
 1t was out of the question that any girl should live up to her ap- pearance. She didn't attempt to; She was outrageously modern. Well coming all and sundry with gay importantly, she led them as a flock beside the still waters of her eentleness in the pathetic belief that she could restore their souls, Gives soul was an example of he restoring.

 The temptation had occurred as he was escorting her from Christ mas party. Suddenly he had halt ed the car and scarcely knowing what he was doing, had caught her to him. He had expected he rto shrink from him. Instead, press ing closer, she had murmered 70, lovely"
 That was Santa. She persuaded every man that he was her one and only.
 He was emerging from his car- ner when a bell-hop accosted him.
 "A telegram. Been paging you everywhere"
 Gives heart beat in his throat. He slit the envelope: Must see you. Important. Santa
 Spainging to action, he rushed into the hotel At the desk he learned that by the earliest train he couldn't reach New York much before the next evening. His short est means of travel was to drive, as he had come, by automobile.

they could not obterae the feeling that the Demo- cratic Party the militant anti-Prohibition or ganization.
 The Republican Party is not alone among the sufferers from the Prohibition experiment. The prestige of many church organizations has materially diminished. So many ministers permitted them selves to be dragged into politics through the Prohibition conflict that the people generally have come to think of many churches as political rather than religious organizations. The result has been harmful and it will take sometime for them to recover the lost ground.

For the past week he had been analyzing with elderly clearness the phenomenon of infatuation; how a man could be such an ass as to get that way to stay that way and infinitely more compli- cated why it was that when his dreams had been realized, he ire gently and disaStrously recovered.
 Under the spell of speed and moonlight such enquiries looked thin blooded. Santa's telegram could have but one interpretation. And so he drove through the night tearing the silence of de- serted country roads into shreds, desecrating with the motors high whine little New England villages.
