RT SERIO "WHERE IS HOOVER ON VOLSTEAD ACT? JA Simple Questions That Can- didate Should Answer. Adding another chapter to its con- Sdentimjphioof that the Anti-Saloon league 18 Mcking the wrong man and that Herbert Hoover is the one true hope of “the open-minded wet,” our neighbor the Herald Tribune insisted yesterday: “Mr. Hoover's statement (in his ac- ceptance speech) plainly left the door open for such reforms as a new defl- pition of what are intoxicating liguors.’ Does Mr. Hoover agree with Herald Tribune's theory that he left the door open to relief from hibition by modification of the stead act? Certainly Mr. Hoover would not wish deliberfitely to mislead the Anti- Saloon league and the Methodist board of prohibition and the other bone- the has pro- Yol- his praises. Mr. suid “It shall be a true campaign. We shall use words to convey our meaning." We repeat the suggestion we made yesterday. Let the Herald Tribune, as a stanch supporter of Mr. Hoover, ask him these simple questions: “Would you mend to congress erages?” “Would you as President sign a blll adopted by congress revising upward beverages ?'—New York World. Hoover Policies Are tion and a naval program, as set forth in his speech of acceptance, are re- jected by Nicholas Murray jutler president of Columbia university and a lifelong Republican, In a letter printed by the New York Times Mr. Butler breaks the silence on politics that he has maintained since the Kansas City convention, He earnest Republicans are in agreement with him, Referring to prohibition, the letter says: “What I wish to make entirely plain is that no candidate of my party for President can commit me or countless or any such policies.” In this connec- tion Doctor Butler quotes Patrick Henry: “If this be treason make the most of it.” “In regard to Mr. Hoover's accept- ance of the timeworn but wholly false argument that what he describes as ‘adequate preparation for defense’ is a factor in co-operation in the maint. enance of Doctor Butler writes: “The contrary is now the well. demonstrated faot.” Party Splendidly United The Democratic national campaign fs getting under way rapidly, accord- ing to reports from all sections of the country.

In 1880, for ex- ample, the South cast a solid Demo- cratic vote for Gen. Winfield 8. Han- cock, despite the fact that General Hancock was a hero of the battle of Gettysburg on the Union side. The South has been solid ever since, with the exception of a few border states, regardless of the candidate, This golidity may. be deplored as anach- ronistic, just as the solidity of the northwestern farmer on the Republie- an side may be denounced as unin telligent ; nevertheless, it exists, And that's that.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Good Signs in Mid-West” favorable to the election of Governor timith, said Lewis G. Stevenson, of Dloomington, Il, gain in Smith sentiment is the de- clining price of wheat,” he said. “With central Iilinois wheat selling at around £1.12 at the terminal and about 95 cents to the farmer producer, it Is readily seen that he. is taking a loss on every bushel he produces, based on the government's estimate of around $1.13 as the cost of produce tion.” End the Mudslinging William Allen White, having dumped his kot of mud on Governor Smith, tookglthie first ship to Europe.

Before ‘it Is binding on States the pact must be ratified by the senate, and it ls certain that there wil] be a fight on that action senate does act favorably, the other nations signatory will ratify the pact within one year. The fifteen original signers of the treaty, led by Germany because It came first in the French alphabetical list, are: Germany, United States of America, Belgium, France, Great Brit- ain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Ausiralia, New Zealand, South Africa, Irish Free State, India, Italy, Japan, Poland and Czechoslovakia. The treaty remains open for the adher- ence of all other powers, and tele- grams and cablegrams of adherence began to come in before the Ink was dry. Among the first nations to ex- press the wish to sign were Denmark, Norway, Bulgaria, Cuba, Rumania, Yugo-Slavia ond Peru. And Yugo Slavia was first to sign. _An espe- cial invitation to join the other sig- natories was extended to Soviet Rus- Herbette, the French am- Here are the two chief articles in “The high contracting parties sol course to war for the solution of in- “The high contracting parties pgree that the settlement or solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever na ture or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them, shall never be sought except by pacific means.” 3 A group of feminists, led by Doris Stevens of America, tried to “crash the gates” at the assemblage of em- inent diplomats to obtain recognition for thelr demand for equal rights for women: They created so much dis turbance that Miss Stevens and others were taken Into custody by the police. EN SSERTING that any attempt to supervise the production of arma- ments was caleulnted merely to mis lead the publie, Soviet Russia has re fused to collaborate with the League of Nations In its present efforts to control the manufacture of arms, Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet vice commis- sar for foreign affalrs, in telegraph. ing this decision to Sir Erle Drum- mond, secretary of the League, pointed out his government's contention that the Langue has done nothing toward the solution of the problem of real disarmament. He insisted that urgent steps should be taken to obtain definite results and avoid the risk of future wars. REMIER MUSSOLINI, whose In- spired press poked all kinds of fun at the Kellogg treaty, and continues to do so, has submitted to Spain a new treaty with Italy that is looked upon in Europe as his reply to the Anglo- French naval agreement. It is sald that Spain is highly flattered by the Duce's attentions, fully realizing that it was Spain's neutrality in the last war which enabled France to con- centrate on the east, The sole ob- stacle appears to be the Spanish king's British sympathies, and it is consid- ered that the dec 1g volce may be that from the Vatican, to which Fas- cist diplomats are now sald to be turning their warmest attentions. USSIA is striving earnestly to at tract foreign capital to that coun- try. and the congress of the Commun. ist internationale, in at Mos cow, has revised a new method to do this, embodied In a resolution which instructs foreign Communist parties energetically to oppose further invest- ments of eapital in colonial or half colonial resolution classes China, India, Egypt nnd South Africa as colonial countries.

Amnesty has been granted to Col. Guadalupe Rivera, one of Augus- tino Sandino’s supply chiefs and for- agers, who surrendered to the marines at Jingotega. His surrender is be. lHeved to have been caused by recent rebel defeats along the Coco river and the capture of his brother by a marine patrol. — Y PROCLAMATION of Gov. Har vey Parnell, last Thursday was a holiday in Arkansas in honor of the state's favorite son, Senator Joe T. Robinson, who on that day was for- mally notified that he Is the Demo- cratic party's nominee for vice presl- dent. The governor also called out several units of the National Guard which took part in the parade In Hot Springs, scene of the ceremony, and helped to maintain order. Something like 40000 persons flocked to Hot Springs, many of them in automobiles, and the traffic problem was serious for there is only one through street in the city. Senator Robinson received the notification standing on the veran- da of the Arlington hotel. In front of him were seated 24,000 persons, and other thousands stood in “Bathbouse row” or on roof tops and In windows. For the broadcasting of the ceremony the local radio station's power was increased ten-fold and new dofty tow. ers were erected to prevent interfer ence from the surrounding mountains, Altogether It was a great day for Sen- ator Joe and Arkansas, — QF THE personal defections from one party to the other, the most significant of the week, because of its possible consequences, was that of Senator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin, He is listed in the congressional dl rectory as a Republican, is a La Fol- fette follower and was governor of Wisconsin before being elected to the senate. His predilection for Al Smith was more than suspected, and in a speech at Burlington he sald: “I have no doubt that my friends and sup- porters are going to vote for Governor Smith for President, These are times when partisanship must not blind us We must condemn Republican silence on the scandal of the Harding ad: ministration as an accessory after the fact.” Blaine also denounced the methods of the federal prohibition de. partment which he sald was honey. combed with erime and bribery. He agsalled “snoopers and spies who shont down Innocent men with dum-dum bul- lets.” The applause that greeted the sen- ator's speech Indicated that the La Folletteites of Wisconsin will follow him into the Smith camp. Democratic Chairman Raskob, dur- ing a visit to the Middle West, said the budget of the national committee calls for a fund of $4,000,000, the party would spend $500,000 in ten campaigning. ERBERT HOOVER opened his personal headquarters in a house on Massachusetts avenue, Washington, and from now on this will be the base of the Republican Presidential cam- paign.

Nomination being equivalent to election, Connally will replace May- field In the senate at the expiration of his term. Incomplete returns showed that Sen- ator Tom Johnson had been renom- inated by the Republicans of Califor- nia. ldaho Republicans renominated Senator Frank Gooding. oF IRECTOR THE idge, since It estimated that there would be a treasury deficit of $94.270,- 848 for the current fiscal year. It is the first time since the war the gov- ernment's estimators definitely have forecast a deficit in their annual re ports. They base thelr contention on an Increase in prospective government expenditures, due to increased activi ties of bureaus during the fiscal year 1020 and to a prospective decrease in revenue, This switch In estimates has converted the estimated surplus of 8252.540,283, figured upon when the 1020 budget first was fixed, into the deficit.

When she sees the hundred and one varieties of dress into which her peighbors’ children are buttoned the problem seems all but hopeless, But actually, according to the Delineator, it 1s not so difficult. a “The smart child,” says this fashion authority, “is dressed simply. When ghe is very young she wears straight little one-plece frocks, unbelted and with very brief hemiines. They are made of washable fabrics—linen, chambray, gingham, pique, and gay little printed cottons, challis and sateens. She has many of them and each morning is buttoned Into a crisp fresh frock. Beneath the frock are worn matching oneplece French panties or bloomers that take the place of drawers and petticoats and mean a considerable saving on the laundry, For Friday afternoon dane fog class and birthday parties she fine batiste or handkerchief nen, georgette, crepa de chine and similar materials, Her coats are just as simple. They are broadcloth, cash- mere, and velveteen for best and cheviot, tweed, flannel and homespun for every day. "At about the age of ten the belt appears. It marks a milestone of the road to woman's estate. Then, too, come the twopiece frocks with straight plaited skirts, boleros, and the woolen frock. Lightweight wool frocks are worn to school, trimmed simply with leather belts, round white collars, anl cuffs, ties, and but. tons. Crats are made of the same fabries ag for yornger children and are trimmed with krimmer, nuteia, beaver, squirrel and raccoon, Thelr lines, too, remain straight.” —— Linen Blouses Linen and cotton are enjoying a well merited success and appear after a long absence In frocks, coats and blouses. Amohg the most delightful sports clothes are those with blouses made of white linen. 1
