"With or without offense to friends or foe$ I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Hoover's Acceptance If President Hoover in his acceptance speech did noth lng else, he sounded the knell of prohibition by abandoning his support of what he was pleased to call the "noble experi ment" four years ago. Whether he was inspired by hope of retaining the conservative but wet east or whether his de sertion of a futile effort rests on sincere conviction, he takes a stand in advance of his party by demanding a change Instead of resubmission. Mr. Hoover's last official utterance on prohibition was In his message transmitting the Wtckersham report to con' frress a message that gave a false impression of the inves tigation as it was not in accord with the facts. In it he said The commission, by a large majority, does not favor the repeal of the lath amendment as a method of cure for the Inherent abuses of the liquor trallic I am In accord with this view. I do, however, aec serious objections to, and therefore must not be understood as recom mending, the commissions proposed revision of the 18th amendment which Is suggested for possible consideration at some future time. In the republican national convention, Mr. Hoover used bis personal influence and that of his cabinet and federal office holders who comprised its majority, to defeat a wet plank calling for repeal of the 18th amendment, and the adoption of a straddle plank calling for resubmission of the amendment. It was designed to placate the drys and hold the wets. . In his acceptance speech, Mr. Hoover frankly repudiates the dry cause, to which he owed his election, admitting it an Ignoble failure. He declares: It Is my belief that in order to remedy present evils a change Is necessary by which we resummon a proper share of initiative and re sponsibility which the very essence of our government demands shall rest upon the states and local authorities. That change nut avoid re turn of the saloon. It Is my conviction that the nature of this change, and one upon which all reasonable people can find common ground, Is that each state shall be given the right to deal with the problem as It may determine, but subject to absolute guarantees' in the constitution of the United Ctates to protect each state from interference and Invasion by Its neigh bors, and that in no part of the United States shall there be a return of the saloon system, with Its Inevitable political and social corruption and Its organized Interference with other states. Mr. Hoover has borrowed the democratic platform rath er than the republican, for after advocating repeal the demo cratic plank declares: We urge the enactment of such measures by the several states as will actually promote temperance, effectively prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and control of the states. We demand that the federal government effectively exercise its power to enable the states to effectively protect themselves against im portation of Intoxicating liquors in violation of their laws. The democratic platform is frank and explicit. It open ly advocates repeal, and provides the machinery for it, de manding that "congress immediately propose a constitution al amendment to truly representative conventions in the states called to act solely on this proposal." It also favors the immediate modification of the Volstead act to legalize beer. Mr. Hoover dodges the issue and is still indefinite. He ieeks the dry vote by attacking the democratic position, .while appealing for the wet vote by endorsing it. Mr. Hoover however, has given the prohibition cause its final blow by admitting its failure and futility. Both can didates are now plcdu:ed to a change, the one definitely, the other indefinitely. The pressure of public opinion is recog nized by the president even though it compelled a complete about face and reversal of his four year policy. BANCROFTSTARS WITH GIBSON IN 'LADY AND GENT' Two "wise eggs" who wert too wise ... That in brief, Is the story of "Lady and Oent", Oeorge Ban croft's latest starring picture, which shows at the Warner Bros. Elslnore theater Sunday and Monday. Petite Wynne Gibson, latest Hol lywood "find," who Is soaring to stardom in her own right, plays opposite the virile Mr. Bancroft, and Charles Starrett, James Olea- son, John Wayne and Joyce Comp- ton nave otner leading roles. Bancroft and Miss Olbson are cast as a couple of self styled "big tuners" who dwell on the shady side of Broadway, battling merrily with each other and with ny one else who crosses their oath. The uneven tenor of their lives becomes even more uneven when Bancroft's best friend suddenly dies, leaving 13 year old son alone In the world. Just what their re sponsibilities to the lad are they sit down to consider. And they reach a conclusion that produces results as whimsical they areradlcal. "Lady and dent" was written especially for Bancroft by O rover Jones and William Blavens McNutt. Stephen Roberts directed. Morgan Wallace, James Crane, William Halllgan, Billy Butts. Frank McOlynn, Sr.. Charles urapewin and Frederick Wallace appear In minor roles. SEEK WATER IN LINCOLN COUNTY The Atlantic Western company of Portland made application to C. E. Strlcklin, state engineer, for per mits to appropriate water from five different sources for indus trial use In Lincoln county. The requests include: Three second-feet of water from Johnson creek 10 second feet of water from Spencer Creek and the south fork of Spencer creek; six second feet of water from Wade creek; five second feet of water from Coal creek and five second fret of water from Moloch creek. all tributaries of the Pacific ocean. The state game commission re quested appropriation of 25 second feet of water from Steamboat creek, tributary of Umpqua river, i for fish culture work in Douglas! county. Oeorge H. Thomas of John Day was also among those asking large amounts of water. He asked permit to take 10 second feet of water from Canyon creek, tributary of John Day river, for mining In Grant county. SALEM TRUCKMAN HAULING WHEAT Peter Jaiuen. -r-. 31st street this city, has three of his trucks operating between Arlington In eastern Oregon and Portland haul ing wheat. Janzcn, who was in Salem today, stated that he has 17,000 sacks to haul, all from one ranch. He has three trucks oper ating, the three of them averaging ptuht tors a load or 24 tons for the three, taking them 135 mile trip into Portland. The wheat was sold for 60 cents a bushel Jaiuen said despite pros Unity of river boats and the railroad he can oeat the competition with his trucks both In price and speed of delivery and by buying aU his gas tn Portland instead of at the other end of the line can make some money. In addition he hauls gaso line back from Portland for the farmers and makes a little extra profit MONOCLES RULE GERMAN CABINET Berlin flPV-The appointment of Prans von Papen'a "monocle cabi net," mainly composed of members of the nobility, has called the pub lic's attention to the influence of the old privileged classes. There are certain branches of the administration in Germany where the preponderance of the nobility never has been seriously challenged, despite the revolution in 1918, which abolished all dynastic and feudal privileges. Outstanding among such traditional domains of the nobility are the army and the foreign serv ice. Although most of the republic's foreign ministers were simple citi zens, their staff remained resplen dent with aristocratic names. Thus, of Oermany's nine ambassadors, one is a count, two are barons (the third. Baron von Neurath, has Just left his London post to assume the min istry), four are noblemen and only one has no "von" to his name. It may also be recalled that many of the lesser envoys belong to the nobility, especially those serving in countries where diplomatic service Is most coveted among the career men. PREMIER HERRIOT GETS PROPERTY Paris OP Because Edouard Rer riot. French premier, never has owned an inch of ground in the ter ritory of his ancestors, the deputy from the Vosges, Marc Rucart, ask ed the Republican association of Eplnal to buy a small piece of ground surroundnlg the place where the premier's parents and relative lived and died, and make him a present of the deed for the proper ty.

II ttP) Pro spect of a bitter legal battle today overshadowed all developments in the two sessions of the ouster hear ing against Mayor James J. Walker with Oovernor Franklin D. Roose velt accepting service of a writ do laying his decision until after Fri day. The hearing was adjourned yes terday until 1:30 p. m. Monday. The writ, which may be the ent ering wedge in lengthy court pro ceedings, challenges tne governor's power to remove Walker. Specific ally it directs the governor to show cause next Friday why a writ pro hibiting the bearing and removal of walker should not be issued. The show cause order is return. able before Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. staiey. Roosevelt lnlomv ed Supreme Court Justice Bar old J. Hlnman, who issued the writ, that he would not hand down any decision until after Friday. Thereafter, however, the governor let it be known that legal entangle ments will not be allowed to bold up a declaration on the mayor's rate. The court order which n cause powerful political repercus sions was obtained by Sidney 8. Levine. attorney representing Oeorge Donnelly, secretary of the Bronx chamber of commerce. Argument behind the writ is that the home rule amendment to the constitution takes from the governor the power vested in mm by tne original clauses of the constitution which assert he may remove a mayor. Should Justice Staiey dismiss the writ next week, appeal might be taken. If the appellate - division sustained a dismissal the possibility of carrying the question to the court of appeals remained open. Ac tion along these lines would result in a delay of many months. Yesterday's session of the hear ing was marked by bitter argument and legal bickering. John o. Cur tin, Walker attorney, and Roose velt clashed several times. But In the end the mayor was forced to explain transactions Involving nearly $300,000. They Included: A letter of credit for $10,000 signed for by the mayor, but paid by J. Allan Smith, a promoter of the Equitable Coach Co., a concern seeking a city wide franchise. An overdraft of $3,000 on the same letter of credit. Receipt by Walker of nearly $250,000 from Paul Block, publisher, ns the profits from a Joint broker age account operated by Block for the benefit of the mayor. The mayor's defease briefly was: The letter of credit was arranged by the late Senator Downing: that he paid $3,00$ towards its purchase and that the credit was used to pay the general expenses of a Euro pean party, of which he was a member. That the Block account was a Joint one, the mayor being liable to any losses which might occur, Hyde Park. K. Y., Aug. 1$ (un Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt sought rest and solitude at his country estate here today, wearied by the ordeal of Mayor Walker's hearing. Roosevelt's schedule for today called for meetings with several state department officials and a chive to his cottage in Dutchess county. Tomorrow be will meet speaker John N. Garner, his running mate. The two are expected to discuss general campaign plans and to out line speaking engagements. Rep resentative Sam Ray burn, of Texas, will accompany Garner. The governor also planned to lay a cornerstone in Peek kill, then re turn to Hyde Park, thence to the executive mansion in Albany. APPEAL FILED IN SCHOOL TUITION CASE The expected notice of appeal in the case of M. Welnacht against O. D. Bower, sheriff, was filed In cir cuit court late yesterday afternoon by Jarae O. Heltzel, attorney for Welnacht. Appeal is to the su preme court from a decision of Judge Lewelllng in which he held valid the county high school tuition fund law and this also validates the high school transportation fund unless Lewelllng Is reversed by the supreme court. Judge Lewelllng In handing down Ms decision sus tained a demurrer to the Welnacht complaint and dismissed the case. It Is -likely that efforts will be made to have the supreme court advance the case on Its docket be cause of Its public importance and also because the high school dis tricts of the county are left at sea as to what they can do the coming school year until they know whether the high school tuition and transportation funds will be available for expenditure. 1 Low Rates i 2 Farm Fire Insurance at Cost j Prompt Payment of Losses J Fair Adjustment jj FARMERS MUTUAL J FIRE RELIEF ASSN. of McMinnvlIle, Oregon Wra.

(IP) A specimen of plant life, lost for 125 years, was rediscovered here when a widely known naturalist ac cidentally pressed the button of a flashlight, it was disclosed here upon the return of a botanical ex pedition from the surrounding mountains. This root, commonly known as -alum root," with the botanical name of Henchera, was discovered here in 1317 by the German botan ist, Fursh. The plant was taken to Germany, where It was transpant ed in his collection. A few days ago. Dr. Edward T. Wherry, of the University of Penn sylvania, leading an expedition In search of the lost alum root, pass ed through White Sulphur Springs, where it was first discovered. Upon the return of the expedition today it was disclosed that while camping at night tn the mountains, the noted naturalist was arranging hi camp equipment bsy the light of a small cooking fire, when his hand accidentally struck the bottom of his flashlight, casting a beam of light Into the darkness.
