If any Catholic In this coun try believes that the welfare,' the well-being, the prosperity, the growth and the expansion of the United States Is best conserved and best promoted by the election of Hoover, I want him to vote for Hoover and not for me." f ' "Hut, on the other hand," he continued, "f have the rU;ht to say that any citizen of thifl country that bolieves f can promote Its welfare, that I am capable of steering the ship of state safely through the next four years and then does' not vote for me because of my religion, he Is not a -real, pure genuine American." Al Smith In Oklahoma speech. Thut is good, sound doctrine, to which the Mail-Tribune, us an ardent supporter of Herbert Hoover, heartily subscribes. Jt is precisely because Ave believe "that the welfare, the well-being, the prosperity, the growth and expansion of the United States is best conserved and best promoted,' by the election of Mr. Hoover, that we are giving him our support, and urging our readers to do likewise. It is because we believe Mr. Hoover is better qualified, by training, character and experience to promote this country's welfare, and is more capable of steering the ship of state safely through the next four years, that we aro for him. In bis passionate appeal for the upport of those who believe he is the best man for the job, but refuse to give him their votes solely on religious 'grounds, Governor Smith stands on the solid rock of religious freedom, the corner stone of American institutions and rue Democratic government. AND WRONG To that portion of his speech we can say without qualifica tion "Amen!" But when Governor Smith attempts by innu endo and insinuation, to convince the people of this country that the Republican party, as a party, is opposing him on these grounds, wc not only don't agree, but wc consider him guilty of the same tactics he used in his reply to William. Allen 'White, he is adopting the methods he condemns iu his opponents, and seeks to fasten on them. That there is religious prejudice in this country .110 one denies. That such prejudice is deplorable all fair-minded peo ple agree. But we believe there is 110 more striking evidence of the improvement of political methods in this country than has been furnished by the members, of the Republican party, under the leadership of Secretary lljoover, in their refusal to capital ize this prejudice to their own political advantage. No stronger plea for religious intolerance was ever made than was contained in that brief but moving paragraph in Mr. Hoover's acceptance speech. Secretary Work, with equal sin cerity and feeling, scathingly denounced any appeals to re ligious prejudice.'- Of all the Republican speakers now touring the country, not one has even hinted at any religious issue. And yet Governor Smith, by indirection, tries to make it appear that the Republican party leaders arc behind this whis pering campaign, ns he terms it, and as the sole support for this charge he maintains sonic unnamed woman called at the offices of the Republican national committee, and asking for aitti Catholic literature of some unnamed person, was told the com mittee had none, but she might get sonic at the office of a certain anti-Catholic publication. If that were true, there was nothing reprehensible in it. Governor Smith, by his own statement, completely refutes the charge that the Republican party, as a party, is trafficking in such literature. But Horace Mann, in charge of the Southern Republican campaign, says it is absolutely untrue and he claims this incident was all an attempted and unsuccessful "frame up" "by a certain Tammany woman detective." Until more facts are known, one should reserve judgment on the question of veracity between the two parties. But to irepeat assuming it, WAS true, does Governor Smith believe this justifies liiin in charging that certain people high in Republican circles, aro trying to encompass his defeat by raising tho religious issue? Of course it does not. And Governor Smith knows it, or ought to. As a matter of fact, 110 candidate for high office in recent years has been treated as fairly and considerately by tho leaders of the opposition as has Governor Smith. Jlr. Hoo ver has repeatedly urged his followers to be above personalities ami keep the uainpaigu upon it high plane. Ono of Governor Smith's chief reconi'iuendalions of character, nnd ono which he repeatedly uses, was n personal tribute to him from Charles K. Hughes, given when it was generally known Smith would be the Democratic nominee, and Mr. Hughes was to lead the New York state campaign against him. Kven Senator Moses, of the caustic tongue and slighlly "curdled mind," has never said a word against "Al"; iu fact, has said he likes him as a man, but likes Hoover considerably better. The Republicans from Hoover down have played fair. And in raising the religious issue himself, and seeking to place the responsibility for so doing upon the Republican party, Al Smith is NOT playing fair. J to is simply playing politics, lie is seeking to gather iu the solid Catholic vote (while he pretends otherwise) hy making it appear that the Republicans arc waging war against him be cause he is a Catholic. i AVl startetl out. this campaign with a, pretty high view of Governor Smith. AVo said then we considered the country for tunate iu having two such outstanding men of demonstrated ability as Hoover and Smith. We haven't abandoned that view. But, all partisanship aside, tho more we sec and hear of "Al," the less highly we re gard him. For he has demonstrated himself to be merely an adroit and not too scrupulous politician, willing to say anything or do anything that jiromises to get voles. Iu short, he is playing the old-fashioned, palent-medieiue game, He. is playing it skillfully, no doubt, but it is a game, that is or should be pretty well discredited. Just how many people in tho country can still be hoodwinked by it, will 110 doubt be demonstrated by tho result in November. QUILL The words aren't Hynonyinous. "JMognu' is pork; "ho loney" is bull. A sense of litimor is much like good b reeding. If you toll tbc world you have it, you haven't. BEDFORD MAIL IS RIGHT,- POINTS TRIBUNE, TmEDFORD, Their Hopes Xo food-produclnp district ever fronted a more difficult problem than wuu tho Hpray residue devel opment that fell upon Bedford and other urchardlxtH two years ago. It wait a tragedy that cuuaed heavy financial Iohh. Like a bolt from tho blue, at tho moment a great pear crop wuu be ing mado ready to market, en mo- a requirement that.pcurs could only parts the market JnnpeetorH carry ing 11 certain low percentage of spray reuidue. It whs a new and totally unexpected requirement brought on by complulntH of the British government, ono of Amer ica' best pear conaumerH, Home pear KhlpmcntH were al ready on the way t-j market. There watt no proecHH then known for safe, quick and economical re moval of the reuidue, and hundred of carloads of Hm pcara were In the packing Iiouhch or coming out of tho orchard to be packed, A more trying Hltuation could hardly arise. Many a carload of tho fluent pcarH after reaching eastern marketa were condemned and doHtroyed. And, even more to tho point, eastern buyera took ad vantage of the publicity about the spray reuidue to beat down the price. It reHUlted in hundreds of IhousandH of Ioxh tu the growem. It In different in the Mod ford dlHtriet now. Ninety-eight per cent of Info year'H crop goett to market, nut only within the United Stutes tolerance test, but under the Brit ish test. Not a dollar is likely to be lost on account of, thin year's spray reaidue. This, vlth pear blight largely under control, with a hugo crop and with prices good, the Rogue River pear growers are on easy street. The spray roniduc problem waa Press Comment Wo IJkfi Tills Kind of Politics It was characteristic of Air. Hoover to return the reply he did to the plea of tho woman's party for a declaration favoring their demand for equal constitutional rights for women. Mr. Hoovoiv as a presidential candidate, is not unaware of the importance and perhaps the necessity of securing the women's vote in November. To grant, even by a form of words, what tho women aHked would have been to go a Ion? vay toward securing that voto and would huvo cost tho Republi can candidate any other group vutrj. Rut he did not even make this gesture. perfunctionnry as it would have been. He was debar red from doing it by an innate honesty. Ho . had not examined the question In llu relation to the present laws on the statute books designed for the protection of women and rhildrcn In indus try, and ho nald frankly that, he did not know what effect the equal rights program, if carried out, would have upon those lawsi or upon tho welfare of those im whoso behalf they were enacted;; It Is obvious that the giving -of women equal rights would wipe out any special rights they navt enjoy by reason of tliene lnws, and Mr. Hoover, firm advocate that Uo Is of equality of opportunity, Iu not the man to make such a trade without fully understand ing all its bearings In relation to the social nnd economic bene fits for all clnsses of citizens to which he hr.s pledged his ow.nef forts and those of his adminis tration If he shall bo elected presi dent. H? withheld the pledge request-' od therefore, and informed tho women that he could not make It until a proper Investigation had determined these points. That Investigation bo would make. If from Uh results, "t find to my satlsfatclon that this Is necessary to obtain equality of opportunity I will be with you." Utterances like these aro as refreshing as they are unusunl in a political campaign. To modost minds to all not blinded by par tisanship they will glvo added i-oiifldoiice In the moral, intellec tual and political honesty of Her bert Hoover. At the same time they will add to'. the conviction of many timid minds that the Re publicans have mado the risky experiment of picking a candi date who in not and never will be a politician. , His frankness Is like that of Gov ernor Smith In. stating his posi tion on prohibition.

This grower added, and his view la shared thruout the Medford dis trict, that tho tolerance require ments in the long run have proven to be a blessing to tho industry.

Meanwhile with ' a pear crop valued at $4,750,000 and with a certainty that next year's crop will be 30 and maybe 40 per cent bet ter, pear growers in the Hogue River district are in the midst of a delightful optimism, an optimism, by tho way, that their own intelli gence has done much to earn.
