IT WILL BE A TERRIBLE CAMPAIGN
WITH Al Smith ' jiniiiinution j)raeti:ully certain, t-vcrj-one
niitrht us well prepare for a terrible shitm battle; this fall.
I'iiIcnh all sinus fail, two issues, which have nothing what
ever to do wilh the Presidency, will overshadow all others.
One will he religion, and the other' prohibition. The (rreatly
revered Constitution places both of these issues! outside, of presi
dential control, but before a political cuuipaitcn what is a little
tliinir lilie 1 lie Constitution!
Al Smith's election could no more make thiM country wet
than it could make it a "serf to Home."
Nevertheless this will be the "alar-inn" from all the Repub
lican ramparts, and the charges will be repented so often that
before flection day comes tirouud, a Krcat many people will
believe them.
This is one of our chief objections to the .nomination of
(iovcruor Smith. All the noise and fury of the lute lamented
Klaii lioom will be revived, nood neighbors will he on the war
pat h HKuiu, old friends will become cstraiiKcd, and not I)!) people
out of one hundred thousand will heep their heads. '
In short, the campaign will be one irrand and glorious emo
tional debauch, with more nonsense tulked and printed than
perhaps ever before which is saying a jireat deal.
As a result the valid charges that could be made against Al
Smith as President will be entirely overlooked. These cliarpcs
are, first, his close association with TiWiiiiany Hall; and, sec
ond, his provincialism his lack of exiW'riencc in and knowl
edge of, jiffairs and conditions
Al Smith was born anil has
school. His personal honesty
fact remains tlial if elected President he wiudd be entirely sur
rounded by practical politicians of the Tammany type men
like the Into Charley .Murphy of New York, TiiKgart of Indiana,
and Itrennan of Illinois.
In such an atmosphere, and with such political creditors to
pay, the extension of the Tammany "spoils" .system throughout
the country would be inevitable and, from the standpoint of
desirable government, disastrous.
In striking contrast to a man like Hoover, ' for 'example,
(iovcruor Smith is woefully ignorant of conditions in the
western part of this country and conditions abroad, both in
Kurope and the Orient.' He is peculiarly a product of the "side
walks of New York," and while his good intentions and honesty
can be safely assumed, his provincialism would be a serious
handicap to intelligent anil successful administration.
llccause of the inflammable nature of the religious and
liquor issues, however, these more important defects will prob
ably never be considered in the approaching campaign.
"Rum and Koiiianisin" will be the 'watchwords, and every
thing else will be lost in the shuffle of the primitive, but irrele
vant, passions.

The Ignorance and selfishness of

about equally deplorable, and both
must be credited mainly to the al

courage lo teach what evory sani

Of course the teaching I refer to

thing as non-communicable "cold.V
There must be an inflexible l ule

reminds me of the scriptural in

And now that Mr. Anderson

their case in the newspapers, why
not have the grand jury likewlso

payers have been compelled to
foot the considerable expense for
this Investigation. Distinguished

OXK FIRST WORD A libel Is
sometimes committed, with no op
portunity for defense by the party
libeled, and this is put out in a
spirit of fair play.
Home days ago your paper car
ried. In Brisbane's "Today" col
umn, a story dealing with the sub
ject of a fighting horned toad
down in the desert in the vicin
ity of llodge, California. Now, Mr.
Brisbane is said lo be a most in
tellectual man, and Is reported to
be the highest salaried newspaper
writer in the world. So much for
that. in his modern fable he
made the statement that he came
Jn contact with a horned toad
that, according to the printed ver
sion, appeared to have tho com
bined fighting qualifications of
Oeronlnio. .lack Dempsey and
C. e n e Tu n n ey t o say nothing of
the cussed ness of Senator Heflin
of Alabama in his makeup. Mr.
Brisbane relates that the afore
mentioned toad bit at his boot,
uppercut, tackled in various ways
and assaulted him most terribly;
but'it is to be assumed that he
came out of tho encounter in
some way.
The writer has not made as
many trips across the country on
a certain well-known railroad as
Mr. Brisbane, but has lived in
Arizona. Nevada and Texas
which throe stales, If a censur
wero taken for the purpose, would
make a must creditable showing
as to the horned toad population.
And, having lived in those locali
ties, the writer has a desire to
state that !t Is news to read of a
belligerent horned toad. The worsi

Russia haa not shown much

expeditions to open mines in dis

The League of Nations statis
tical department says countries en
gaged in the big war had a total
population of 1.400,000,000 and that
war cost 37,000,000 human lives.
Ten million one hundred and
thirty-five thousand were killed In
the war. Births, on account of
fathers being; away, etc., dimin
ished by 20,850,000. "Spanish flu"
und other causes increased civilian
mortality by 6,010.000.
These frightful figures should
make peace permanent, but they
won't. All that hor or would be
forgotten in the first flaming up of
International hatred. The fighting
dog doesn't remember the wounds
of his last fight.

American travelers buying Amer
ican cars of American make in
Kurope are compelled to pay duty
when they bring those cars Into
the United States. President Cool
idge is requested to stop that non
sense. If traveling A m c r i c a n s have
sense, enough to buy good Ameri
can cars abroad, instead of snob
bishly buying cars of European
make, for heaven's sake encourage
them. American labor is in those
cars. American manufacturers
have made the profit. What more
does tho tariff want?
A British woman, !ady Heath,

told differently.

If You Need a Tonic,

Mrs. Harriett R. Hopp
"It is quite a long time now since
I first used Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, said Mrs. Har
riet It. Hopp of 1730 ISutler Ave.,
Hawtell, Calif., "and so far as I
have been able to learn there has
never been a tonic introduced or
discovered to lie as good as it.
When I would be rundown and in
need of a general tonic the 'Golden
Medical Discovery' always did more
for me than I could reasonably ex
pect, had I noi been acquainted
with its merits. It is a pleasure
to me to fully subscribe to all Dr.
Pierce's claims for any and all of
his remedies."- .
