TIMS is a very iuteresling campaign, and, In anyone not hopelessly biased, one way or tin: other, a very amusing one. A good debate might be singed as to whether t.htj radical Kepublicnu Wet, or the rabid Democrat ie Dry, is the better subject for light comedy. We wonder if many people noticed the radio talk by Irs. Kraiikliu l. liooscvell the other night, who has been commis sioned with the somewhat difficult task of persuading women voters to climb on the Al Smith hand wagon. .Airs. Roosevelt, who is cut liusiasl ically dry, presented a rather unusual argument. She, of course, admitted her candi date disagreed with her on the IYoh"bition question, buL she maintained, apparent ly wit hout a smjhv I hat Prohibit ion is not an issue, that (Joveriior Smith if e-Jcetcd will be perfectly sal isfact ory on the liipntr i nest ion ; in tlaef, she believes he will be a more effective foe against Demon Jiiiiii than .Mr. Hoover. Wo trust that our Wei Republican friends were listening in. For I hey, of course, maintain precisely the reverse, that the only reason they arc supporting the l-Vmocral ir candidate, is because if he is elected, he will be the mo.sl cffijelivc foe they can find of the 'iniuitotis Anti-Saloon League.'' Needless to say, any man who can persuade a cultivated woman like Mrs. Roosevelt that he is a champion of tin; Drys; and a learned scholar like Nicholas Afurray Hutler he is cham pion of t he Wets, is not only "some polit iciau ; he is undisputed champion of the Amalgamated Order of .Miracle Workers. When this eonipaigu started we predicted .Mr. Hoover was going lo have, a fight on his hands. I5ul we never supposed he was going lo he called upon lo compete with a man who has the power to present a keg of beer to one .section of his audi ence, and, without even shaking a cuff, or changing a hand, presto! transforming that keg of beer into a pitcher of ice water for the other side!

The vase fell. The new suit simply tore Itself. And heaven only knows how the glass of milk fell off the table. Tim child, Intent upon climbing a fence, is oblivious of the perils the procedure holds for his new suit, liis clthes, quite rightly, do not occupy his attention. To ex- poet a child to hold in mind such adult values is to deprive him of Ills own rightful and wholesome in terests. The technique) of handling the adult environment Is mastered only after repeated exphnialions and cnutionings have made plain that such actions as placing a ';kiss of 1 milk too near the elbow, or turn ting a cartwheel in the vicinity of the mantelpiece, are almost cer itain to have disastrous results.
