Smith for the same reason can well ;,fforl to temper their discussions. The too-rabid critic of Smith's wetness has. in the east, been more of a liability than an asset so far. William Allen White's attack on Governor Smith did no good and probably ::ome harm to the Hoover cause. As we have insisted previously, the more republicans boost their own candidates and the less they knock their opponent, the greater will be their vote gain. Hitter and vitrolic assaults indicate an under-dog. And an mider-dog wins quick sympathy. The election is only a little more than 10 weeks away and it isn't too early to register if you aren't aldeay quali fied to vote. The new Oregon law leaves no loopholes for the forgetful citizen. He can no longer be sworn in at the polls. If you vote, you must be registered. In view of the presidential contest this year, all observers predict the heaviest vote on record. Exercising the privilege is one of the main responsibilities of citizenship. Kvery man and woman of legal ae lias the right to a voice in government. The rihTis' ofHUIe" value if if goes" uiiusetr'lei e a' pre requisite of its use is registration. The county clerk's office Is always ready, glad to make registration. It takes little lime, little effort. Register now, and get it off your mind.' In the brief speech at Los Angeles yesterday, Mr. Hoover .'luted his approval of the Moulder Dam project. He is an) engineer and an economist. He sees the potential value of this great development, is willing to lend his support to its accomplishment if elected. His announcement on this point demonstrates something more than an interest in reclama tion and power projects. Jt demonstrates courage. Not all western states are in favor of the Moulder Dam. While California has urged it, her neighbors have fought it hitter-! ly. California is conceded to Hoover. Some of her neih Iwrs are not. They might find their way i-nto the democratic column. Hut Hoover refuses to stradle the fence and play! politics, lie says what he thinks. He will work for what he believes is right. Whether one is in accord or not. the' trait must be recognized as unusual, desirable in a prcsi- dential candidate. I Jand every ronyressnia n except !

Mme. Halide Kdib, "the woman be hind Kemal", is visiting America and tells the world a few things about modern Turkey when she appears before the Institute of Politics at Williamstown. Mass. She has been descrilH'd as "the most brilliant woman in Asia." and is the' only woman prominent amoug the founders of the new and; nationalist Republic of Turkey. She ought to know--audi here's what she says to enlighten us about the Turks: i "The better class of Turks have never practiced polygamy.! Mublic opinion in Turkey has been consistently against the' haremdespite the fact that every Sultan kept one. There i are lewer polygamous relationships tu Turkey, today, than in any other Kuropeau country "More veils are worn by the women of Maris, at present. Hum by the women of Constantinople and Angora. . . . There never were more than a minor proportion of Turkish women who wore veils.... The women of the Turkish countryside were never veiled, and the town women, like those of Maris, wore veils only so long as they considered them embellish ments. .. . The modern Turkish woman dresses inul uo..,, her hair exactly as she pleases (and) marries when and! w hum .sin' wants to. "Kquahty of men and women is moie racially ingrained! with the Turks than with other Kasteiu peoples. ... The i Turks in many ways resemble the Nordic peoples. You will) ee that as you study them." i Ami she thus leaves us t assume nothing better than! that Turkey has been misrepresented and misjudged very! badly all these years. Fair cnoujjh. Mreaking dwn pre-j judtces and spreading pertinent information in foreign; lounlriex is a happy and fruitful occupation. The more we' know of the lcsidculx of far-off lands, the belter we can! understand them, and the more sympathetic and apprecia tive and considerate can we Ih when the need arises. Which' is nothing more nor less than the promotion of international peace. Klimtnate strangeness and the unknown and war heroines less and less popular as a public resmt.
