The Last Prop!
(New York World -Telegram.)

(New York World Telegraph
 We have yet to find a single law-re-
 formed drunkard a single family in the
 fitted by the passage of the Eighteenth
 Amendment.
 That knocks the last prop from the tottering argument for Prohibition.
 The statement quoted above is reckless one It is the report of committee of five, headed by Paul Morris, of the University of Wisconsin, who have covered 12000 miles in thirty-six States in serious effort to discover authentic of benefit from the Prohibition law. The expedition was backed by the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform the Voluntary Committee of Lawyers and other organizations and individuals It's autobus "Diogenes" has back to New York to complete the quest
 In State after State and city after city the chal lenge has been carried direct to leading dry organi zatons to produce their shining examples of Pro- hibition's reformed and reclaimed. MT. Morris says
 Of course, we found many alcoholic ad- diets who had given up drink for one req
 son or another But never from statutory
 compulson. Investigation always showed them to have reformed for some other req
 son. Many of the cases brought to our at
 tention actually turned out to have reformed
 before the enactment of the Prohibition
 Amendment
 It bold undertaking-wth an extraordinary and compelling result.

Canadians and HOOver's English.
(NeW York TimeS.l

An interesting correspondence provoked by an Ottawa newspaper when it published edi toral suggesting that President Hoovers pronuncia tion in his public addresses did not attain to tht degree of perfection which might be expected o one in his exalted post.
 The Ottawa Journal listened to MT. Hoover or the radio, and then it said, in part
 The performance, taken as a whole,
 unimpressive. It was possible to
 visualize the business man, perhaps the
 engineer, but it was impossible to imagine
 the great leader, subtle and crystal-clear
 in mind, master of the naked phrase
 On and on he read, always in the same n monotone cold and colorless, moving through
 succession of passages which, quite
 bad always fell short of distinction lack
 ing that indefnable something which is call- ed style.
 There something almost harsh, rasp-
 ing, in MT. Hoovers voice, something that
 seemed foreign to English in his pronun-
 citation. He called revenue" "revenoo";
 pronounced constitution, institutions and
 tumultuous as "constitootion" "institootons"
 and "tumultoous"; spoke of "redoocing ex-
 penditures. Furthermore according to this
 listener, the President dropped the "t' from
 kept" put the accent on the second syllable
 of primarily" There is" said the writer,
 "an Americanese'"
 The reaction was prompt. First to write 1T about it was Hevyn Dirck Benson of 1o8 Madison Avenue, New York, who agreed that the comment or MT. Hoover was sound, logical and just" He ex pained that cultured Americans" do not talk tha way" that is, in "Americanese," and then went or with an eloquent tribute to Franklin D. Roosevelt who it presumed does not talk that way at all.
 Came Gertrude L. Warren of Amherst Mass. wht admitted President Hoover's pronunciation migh have been faulty to slight degree" but after all, not Canadians just as faulty, if no more so" by any recognized dictionary? There a word of reproof from Frederick Tench of New York who said it would be yer! much better if such things were not published" And finally word from Estelie B. Lorme of 224O Winton Terrace w., Fort Worth Texas who wrote the editor severely about Judging tn, entire United States by the Northern half"

standing Where he had found them. Nan and Jervis looked at each other, and for moment a shared glint of tumor gave to each of them a sense of intimacy. To be able to laugh at the same things is one of three indissoluble bonds.
 Nan said, What a lamb." And Jervis said, Gold old EFF" And then the moment passed. The laughter went out of Mans eyes.
 You'll explain about my not being able to dine with him won't you?" she said.
 Jervis put his head back lit- tie, it made his chin jut out. It was an obstinate chin.
 Why can't you dine with hin?"
 If Nan had assumed that she was going to dine with them, Jer- wis would probably have felt an- royed.
 You'll have heaps to say to each other. I should be in the way"
 Well, if you don't come, he'll think you're offended"
 Do you want me to come?" she asked.
 Well, I do-if it wouldn't bore you too much.''

 I'll come if you want me too," said Nan. n Their eyes met, and Jervls felt something that he had not felt before.
 | Both of them came out of that moment with faint sense of shock. Jervis caught sight of the station clock and exclaimed.
 Poor old Page will be cussing me"
 With a queer leap of pulses, Nan realized that she had forgot ten, actually forgotten, why she had come to meet Jervis.
 She said Please" and then T haven't told you why came to meet yoa. It's very important.
 He turned around drowning. Cant you tell me at dinner?"
 No can't. It's urgent" He stopped, faced her and said i What is it. Page will curse me"
 The color burned in Mans cheeks. How can you tell an i'm patient champing man that you believe someone is going to try and kill him in the open street in broad daylight?
 She said with a gasp. Its no good-you won't believe me-" and could have said nothing that would so instantly have caught his at tention
 ''Why-what's up?"
 T don't see how you're going to believe me" said Nan desper- ately.

 "Oh, constantly"

Unearth CIeW in Search
for Girl, a..
Bn United Press

By United Press
RENSSELAER,, Ind, Nov. 3d.
Aid of Illinois police was enlisted
by Sheriff Tone Kanne today as he
intensified his hunt for Patricia
Pearl Trip, 4, snatched from her
grandmother's farm home near here
Monday night by a kidnaper.
Failing to unearth single clew
in trip Tuesday toward Gary and
Chicago, searching for the automo-
bile in which the abductor escaped,
Kanne said that today he would go
to Kankakee, Ill, and northward
from there.
August Johnson, and his wife, liv-
ing in Porter county, paternal
grandparents of the girl, may be re-
questioned today, Kanne said.
Deny knowledge of Affair
Johnson protested vigorously when
Mr.. and Mrs. Harnlin Smith, ma
ternal grandparents of the victim
and her guardians, adopted her after
her parents died.
In previous questioning, both
johnson and his wife have protessed
ignorance of the abduction, Kanne
said.
Since a few hours after the kid
naper, a tall, Swarthy, foreign ap-
pearing man, seized the child after
entering the Smith home on a ruse,
roads leading northward from Rens-
Selaer have been patrolled.
Kanne and Mrs. Smith were of
the opinion, however, that the child
was transferred to another machine
soon after the abductor sped away
from the house, and that she is be-
ing held unframed not far distant
from Rensselaer,.
No Note Is Received
I'm sure that Patricia Pearl will
not be hurt" Mrs. Smith said as
she regained her composure. It
feel sure that the man who took
her, although he handled her
roughly as he fled from here, will
not injure her"
Failure of the kidnaper to send a
note demanding ransom for return
of the girl strengthened a belief
held by both Kanne and the Smiths
that the kidnapping was for an
other purpose.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Demo-
cratic leaders charged by Speaker
John N. Garner with conducting a
canvass of the house to determine
prohibition repeal sentiment have
found indications in the survey,
thus far, that a repeal resolution
would pass if brought to a vote next
Monday.
Later, Speaker Garner announced
he didn't see any reason" why the
repeal resolution should not now be
brought up for action on Monday,
the first day of the new session.
Members conducting the poll told
the United Pres today that they be-
lieve DTS votes could be secured for
outright repeal. 1t was anticipated
there would be enough absentees to
lower the two-thirdS majority re-
quirement of 287 votes which would
apply if the full house were present.
One of the party leaders said the
poll showed house sentiment shift
ing toward outright repeal among
representative members from both
north and south.
They reported that while many
congressman still are out of the city,
the information received in inquiries
Tuesday and today indicate there
will be $50 Democratic repeal votes
and 125 from the Republicans.
The Vice President Elect declined
to predict passage of the repeal
amendment by the necessary two
thirds vote, but insisted that it must
be acted upon in any event.

NEEDY RELIEF

Penal Affairs.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Plan to combine state admin
istration of unemployment relief
with that of penal affairs under
supervision Of secretary in the Gov
errors Office was being considered
today by Governor Elect Paul ".
McNutt.
The idea, advanced by McNutt
grew out of information obtained
at his conference Tuesday with
Governor Harry G. Leslie.
Leslie had DR.. John H. Hewitt,
state unemployment relief director,
explain what is being done now.
Pleas Greenlee, McNutt's secretary,
also attended the conference. Later
he and the governor ELECT evolved
the idea of combining the offices
as an economy move.
Hewitt and a secretary handle the
unemployment relief under the Les
lie administration, while Gaylord
Morton, secretary to Leslie, and an
aid of Mortons handle penal affairs
These include pardons and paroles
formerly handled by the state par
don board, which was abolished.
To combine the two positions
would cut costs in half, it was de-
clared.
Jay White, South Bend, has been
mentioned prominently as leading
contender for the position under
the NIcNutt regime.
Combining economy with eff
cheney will be the goal of the new
administration the Governor ELECT
told members of the state budget
committee before they started On
