For tliero is no imrty issue on this i,)i'o1iVm, Motli Smith, and Hoover' Imvo come out publicly against tbe MuXary-Ilauwen bill, both have pletliied themselves to farn'J itl'd, the details of which arc: ceonoinie, Hot political, and the sooner pai-l isansW-p is eliminated the sooner it satisfactory solution, can be reacUod. As a matter of fact, tin; solution of the 1'i-ul libition problem could best be left to a similar non-partisan coni'iuittee. For as lonn as this question, like: the Jimn-reliet' t;ue.'ltion, is miulc a football of politics, there is little chance of ccV.ust motive pro iress, or anything approachiiij; it jteriiianent solu tion. The acceptance speech of Senator Curtis, however, merely emphasizes the fact that on this issue there is .relatively speak in!,', a clear-cut party division, and, ns long as Al'. Smith is the leader of the Democratic party, it promises to be tjie only, issue, in which there will be as sharp division of opinioi i. . lioth Smith and Hoover agree that Prohibition ieuforeenieiiit in this country is not satisfactory. Hut they disagree radically j when it comes to a remedy for the .situation. Smith favors a modification of the Volstead itiov, which, if1 we understand him correctly, would allow those states whieh wish to legalize the sale of intoxicating liquors to do so. Mr. Hoover condemns this procedure jis nullil.'ication oC 'the fundamental law, but expressly states he has no quarrel 'witlr those who wish to 'bring about a change in the fundamental law, through legal and constitutional channels. So there the issue is drawn. Perhaps the time will come when this perplexing problem can bo withdrawn i'ro.'A pu rtisan ship, but that time is now far distant. The only immediate hope is that the result of this election will so clear the atmosphere, and so crystallize public opinion, that, both major parties may agree upon a common starling point, from which the problem must, be attacked.

AlitAlO OI BANKS There Ih u hoHt of harmless cranks who say they have no use for banks.

You can't convince the harmless cranks that there are safe and solvent banks, that cashiers, taken as u class, are honest men who cut much grass, that clerks and tellers have been known to take no money not their own. You do not get a word of thanks for talking to the harm less crunks; they hide their money 'neath tho stair, or in the cushion of a chair, behind a brick, beneath the floor, or .tust above the kitchen door. They are too wise to "trust their Heads to any of these banking lads, who only wait' a chance to blow to Canada or Mexico. Tho story travels up the road, from this abode to that abode. "Old Jagsmith hides his hard-earned dust, afraid the bunks will go' bust; he must have quite a lot at 1 hut, he must be quite a plu tocrat." The grocer tells the auctioneer, who tells his ncgh bors there and h'erc, und they repent the pleasant talc of Jag smith and his burled kale. And so the story goes in time, to men who make a trade of crime. And then some night poor Jagsmith wakes from pleasant dreams of pea-green snakes, to greet some strangers wearing masks, who arc engaged In grisly tasks. They 'show a chunk of red hot steel thut they will place against his heel unless he tells them. in a flash, Jusr where he's hid den all his cash.
