England's Bootleggers
mHERE ia much aritation in Great Britain against the
" I Kioono- nt mithvlated jmirita which are being drunk
in increasing quantities in place of the more expensive out
put of the legalized distilleries. Metnyiaiea spiriw arc uu
and the same with wood alcohol which cause blindness, in
sanity and frequently death. We know a lot about wood aj
cohol. They are learning about it over in Great Britain, even
though they have no particularly strict laws regarding its
sale. Anybody over there can buy j so-called "good" whisky,
that is, the regular output of .the breweries and distilleries,
but they are taking' to drinking wood alcohol nevertheless.
The reason is found in the high tax levied against spirits by
the government which, it is being claimed, raises the price
beyond the reach of the average individual who feels that he
must have his daily toddy. It is now up to the British gov
ernment either to go after the wood alcohol bootleggers and
thus put in force a variety of prohibition, or else lower the
tax. It is a dilemma indeed, with interesting aspects, not the
nf which is that even' where liquor may be bought and
sold legally there are bootleggers nevertheless, and people to
drink their stuff . '
And the different provinces of the Dominion of Canada
could give the mother country sdme valuable pointers under
this head , .
For there are more bootleggers among the Canucks
than they had when part of the political divisions had open
aaloons or were dry than there are now,-when the provinces
are in the booze business with their dispensaries.

Herbert Hoover
A Reminiscent Biography
By WILL mWIS
(ExtrMt tram ih fc&ok pnblih4 by Th CtnTy Co.)
The Next War
mHE Enirlish labor leader who warns his party members
JL that Great Britain and the United States are drifting
into the-ame state of suspicion and rivalry that brought
about the World war and aligned Great Britain and Germany
against each other, undoubtedly is seeing much too much. He
thinks this year is comparable to! the year 1906. If this
chronology be correct war between the two. English speaking!
powers can be definitely scheduled in eight years, 1936. ..
There seems little to fear, in the way of a possible armed
struggle between England and America after a peace that
has lasted over a hundred years .
For nothing butthe most insulting and overt act of ag
gression could induce these countries to go to war, and if
either government were firuiltv of such act its people would
not allow it to continue in Dower. Such a war as the labor
leader sees is unthinkable .
But predictions of the kind may serve to cause a little
closer watch to be kept upon diplomats and their engage
ments and contacts, and every other influence in favor of
good will and friendly feeling fostered and encouraged.
' Wireless Tapping
Wire tapping has been going on more or less regularly
ever since there were ny wires to tap, but the feat is not
recognized as .good practice and is in fact decidedly unlawful
But tHDDinsr the wireless is easy for any amateur, with a
radio set, is sometimes very interesting and there is no law
in conflict with the practice. That is one of the worries of
the transatlantic wireless telephone companies. People do
not ordinarily pay the high rates to talk from New York to
Berlin to gossip about their neighbors or to inquire how the
baby is; very commonly the conversation relates to stocks
and bonds,' business and finance. An amateur drifting about
over his dial and tuning on such a conversion may hear
something of interest to himself and more especially inter
esting to the competitors of the conversationalists; he may
in fact for a consideration relate the conversation to the
competitors. That is what happened to a prominent New
York City bank, and now the telephone company is trying to
find a cure for the condition. ;
Working for Hoover
TN his Oklahoma speech, Al Smith read favorable com
X ments made about him by Hughes and Root These were
merely the pleasantries of a polite pair of men on amiable
occasions. But both Root and Hughes are out working for
Hoover; Mr. Hughes having come home from Europe for tha
very purpose. Root is a pronounced wet, but he says: "We
need the very best man available for presisdent, and among
all of them I think Herbert Hoover is BY FAR the most com
petnt. His clearness of thought, his proved deep human
sympathy, his qualities of complete devotion to whatever1
task he undertakes, his long executive training, 'his wide ex
perience in large affairs, his practical knowledge of national
administration, make his election seem to me an exceptional
opportunity for the good of the country. Let Al read tha
to his next audience. .

In Salem.
Just a day or two ago, a national authority spoke of the
tariff on wheat being increased under the elastic clauses of
the tariff act from 28 to-42 cents a bushel. The law fixed
the charge at SO cents a bushel, and the president made the
advance 40 per cent instead of 50 per cent, as was asked for.
It should have been raised the limit, to 45 cents a usheL 1 -membered by the muy for their
Nearly every speaker in this campaign, democrat or republi
can, has made errors when he has quoted tariff schedules and
figures. There is no good excuse for this. The law is very
plain in all things. -

When Herbert Hoorer left the

Herbert found la, his cousin
Walter a kindred spirit. Together
the boys walked two miles to dis

made the highways troublesome,
rode' double-mounted on one of
the farm horses. Together they
did the farm choree.
Still, they found time tor plen
ty of play searching the coverts
for quails -nests, climbing trees
for birds eggs, pursuing rabbits

hopping and whooping , aimlessly
over the rolling hills.

consider what boys are doing to
day with arts of -deceased Ford
cars; but they produced a play

wheels, but did in an Intermit

the saw-blade across its bed. That
spring's calving had brought in
to the world a heifer of wnich the
boys made a special pet. She

They rigged her a harness out of
old rope-ends and disintegrating

driving, and then tried ner out en

minute. When the clatter broke
